 [theres the sound of  a book being flung open, and then...]

what the HECK?! What'd I do, piss of Davy Jones or something? Eat some strange food? Walk through some... Cursed fairy magical stupid crap?! WHY AM I A....[he paused to look at himself again. Just what the heck is he?] 

FURRY RACCOON THING?!

....urgh. I like this place but it's weird. Seriously. Whatever this crap is, it better go back to normal. Anyone in the Bloody Roses hear me? It looks like I'm on isle Empieza for some weird reason in addition to being a fuzzy freaking forest animal. I'm gonna go to the Backwater Brig and use the nav to get to the ship. 

((Ooc: oh noes! Thash has swapped bodies with Yasaburo the raccoon dog shapeshifter! But he doesn't know how to shapeshift so currently he's just a raccoon dog. This post is open to action Yasaburo, Thash, and anyone on the bloody roses who interacts with them while body swapped. Feel free to start branching threads from it where needed. Open audio to everyone else!))

Holy freak it's about time I got my regular body back.... Anyway I'm sure some of you might've noticed a sad lack of fresh fish in the galley. Now that I'm not in a dang cage on a dang leash, I intend to fix that.

Anyone who's got a request, you can let me know on here or on the deck in ten minutes. New people feel free to come meet me in my REAL body and tell me what kind of fish you like too. I might've been pretty grouchy in that raccoon body but I won't bite... As long as you don't piss me off.

[Hearing that Thash is back in his proper body makes Katarina sigh in huge relief and drop down in the chair. No more keeping eye on Captain or Thash or anyone else. Babysitting is over!

After sitting slouched like that for few moments, she gets up and makes way to the galley.]

Hey they, sharky. Back to your body?

Re: action

[crankyshark]

[he looked over his shoulder as Kat came in. It looked like he was preparing a spot to store the fish for when he got back later. He stopped what he was doing for a moment though, turning towards her with a smile]

Hey, Kat. Yeah, finally. It feels good to be me again...

[he lowered his voice a bit] between you and me though, that body could have been fun if I hadn't had to stick around in the galley. I found out eventually that it could transform into stuff...

[sinister_blade]

I bet. It was weird talking to a raccoon.

[Also, it was hard to keep Grells hands off of chainsaw. She's glad that that is all over with. She places hands on her hips, peering down on what he was doing.

She smirks-] Really? That's really unfortunate timing.

[crankyshark]

Yeah, it is. If I'd known that from the beginning I'd have just transformed to look like myself and avoided all that crap... But then again, what Grell said about a curse before that made people lose control did kinda worry me. If something like that had happened it would have been better for me to be behind bars.

[he had acquired some shallow water-tight barrels at some point and was moving them over to a corner. It looked like they were filled with seawater...perhaps for storing live fish. Of corse they would stay alive forever in such a small space, but it would extend the amount of time they could be kept in the galley without dying and rotting or being cooked]

Speaking of which, just in case something like that DOES ever happen... [he looked at her seriously]
You guys would have to do more than just put me in the brig. You'd have to restrain me pretty good since I can bite through metal.

[sinister_blade]

Yes, I talked to a guy... Marco I think his name was. He mentioned something about witch cursing people on ships to kill each other by brainwashing them or something. [He didn't explain it like that but it's a summary of the event.] I have no idea what happened then but I do see from where the paranoia comes from. [Katarina would be paranoid about it as well.

She gives him hard slap on the back-] I don't think you'd have to worry about it. Grell can't die, we have some vicious people abroad and I have enough experience to know how to restrain someone. So you don't need to think about that.

[crankyshark]

[he nodded, smirking a bit after her slap] yeah, I know...hahah, I have full confidence there's enough good fighters on this ship to bring me down. I just wasn't sure if you knew about the metal biting thing. Some people may have believed my body with Yasaburo in it was incapable of getting out of the brig, but he stayed in there willingly. Same with me, since I had the whole transformation thing going for me.

[he shrugged] it is good to be on a ship full of warriors though, so you're right, I don't have to worry about all that too much.

[hed be more worried if Grell got brainwashed or whatever again...she'd be a hard one to bring down, but he figured if they worked together against her it'd be possible]

Anyway, I know I ask this every time but is there any kind of fish in particular you want me to try to get while I'm down there?

[he remembered her mentioning she had no favorite kind of seafood, but who knows, things could change. He tried to catch a wide variety whenever he could so that people could try different things and see what they liked, and not get bored of eating the same few types all the time]

[sinister_blade]

[She nods-] There are warriors in Noxus that can rip through metal bars as well, only with their hands, not teeth. They train to do that if they don't have any natural abilities to hone. So trust me- if needed I will be able to restrain you. [Pause-] If not, I'll knock you out. [She bites her inner cheek to prevent herself from laughing.]

Hmm... [She's not an expert in types of fishes down there, but she did find some spices in upper racks and shelves in kitchen. She saw her mother prepare fish before using those, so she might give it a try- it can't be that hard.] Actually, I think very nice, big salmon would be amazing right now.

[crankyshark]

Their hands? Holy crap.... [that'd be pretty amazing to see, especially without any magic or anything. When she mentioned restraining him or knocking him out he simply nodded] good...

A salmon...no prob, I see those all the time. I'll grab a couple... It's the the least I can do after you helping me out.

[kabutos_claim]

I have to admit, a shark mutant is pretty cool. I imagine now you'd give us a real fight.

[voice/action]

[crankyshark]

You think it's cool, huh? Most people in my world were pretty put off by it...but you can come see for yourself if you come to the deck.

And yeah, I can fight pretty well in my own skin. We should spar sometime... I do it with Kat now and then.

[he was finished doing other stuff to get ready so he'd go to the deck at that point]

[voice/action]

[kabutos_claim]

Sure, why not... I've got nothing better to do anyway. I'll be there soon.

[action]

[crankyshark]

Alright

[once he got to the deck, he hung his net on the railing and leaned against it, waiting and just enjoying being outside]

[action]

[kabutos_claim]

[Instead of practicing her stealth, she decides to merely walk out into the open. She watches him - what a shame that fishface hadn't turned into a shark like that. Maybe then he'd be more useful.]

So. What kind of shark are you? I'm going to assume not a hammerhead...

[crankyshark]

[he turned towards the newcomer as she approached, looking over her briefly as she was surely doing the same]

So you're Harmony...[weird name for a warrior but whatever]

What kind? That's....a difficult question actually. I'm only 1/4 shark...the rest of me is Aquarian and human. As for what kind of shark that 1/4 comes from....[he shrugged] probably a mix of a few different kinds. It's a long story. But I wouldn't mind telling it if you want to hear how something like me came to exist.

[he inhaled the air furtively, taking in her scent] smells like you're human...

[kabutos_claim]

[She chuckles a little at that.]

I'm 100% pure human. I just 'know' a few mutants back home.

[A mix of a few... maybe that would result in more powerful mutants. Too bad there was no mutagen to experiment with. Oh well, it'd be a nice tip for dad back home.]

I've got time to kill. I guess you didn't get splattered with alien goop?

[crankyshark]

Oh...guess that explains why you're not surprised to see something like me...though I'm more of a hybrid than a mutant. [at least he thinks so anyway? He was born like this, not mutated into it]

No, no alien goop. But I guess if you've got the time... [he settled more comfortably against the railing.] so. Apparently there was this Aquarian magic-using jerk. Aquarians are basically fish people that live in my world... You've got the freshwater types with legs and the saltwater types with tails. This guy was a saltwater type, and he was trying to make some kind of superior species by mixing high quality saltwater and freshwater Aquarian blood with the best kinds of shark blood. Illegal of course...but he did this crap in a remote location away from law enforcement.

[his voice was rather flat and hard as he went though this lengthy explanation. It was evident that even though he was willing to tell about it, he wasn't very happy about it]

Anyway, he eventually makes this shark-Aquarian freak that lives. It grows and thrives and becomes strong, but not very intelligent. It busts out of its confinement and kills the jerk Aquarian. Then it roams around free, able to walk on land because it had a tail and legs like me. Apparently it wanders into a human village at night and spots something it finds attractive- a human female. The stupid monster rapes her. Nine months later, out comes a freaky shark hybrid baby. That's me. She decides she doesn't wanna keep the baby and leaves him on a beach to fend for himself. That's about it in a nutshell.

[he frowned a bit, scratching the back of his neck] got all this information secondhand of course...I've never met my parents and that's probably a good thing.

[voice]

[myfayevalentine]

You're...really back to normal?

[crankyshark]

[his voice sounded quite happy and relieved when he replied]

Yep! Finally... Sheesh, I was almost starting to wonder if I'd be stuck that way...

Anyway even my real body feels kinda weak and cooped up at the moment so I'm gonna go for a dive and get some fish while I'm at it. I want to see you though... I'll definitely see you when I get back but I can stop by your room on my way to the deck too if you want.

[myfayevalentine]

Thank fuck you're not.

Sorry. But seriously...

*Faye just sighs a little, but she sounds brighter all the same*

Please come visit me. Whenever you have time.

[crankyshark]

Alright, will do.

[when he finish preparations and was on his way to the deck, he stopped by Faye's room and knocked, a smile on his face already. Being in his own skin and getting out of the brig had put him in a good mood]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye moved quickly to the door when she heard it knock, and swung it wide open to him. She was smiling widely, but before she launched herself at him, she wanted to be sure that he really did have his own body back, and that she wasn't being tricked*

So, you're really you? Not anybody else?

[crankyshark]

[he grinned and nodded, understanding her hesitance to accept it at first]

Yep, I'm me... Let's see, shortly after the first time we met, we fought with a monster tree that was pissed off because I bit it.

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye grinned in her reassurance, the put her arms up around his neck, pulling him in through the doorway like this, reaching up to press a kiss to his lips*

Welcome back, sharky.

[crankyshark]

[his eyes closed as he kissed her back gladly, embracing her tightly with one arm since the other held a net. It certainly felt great to be able to kiss her with his own body again]

Thanks. It's good to be back.
