Mission #77A: Shutting up a Donkey(Harusame)

[SHADE SMASH]

Mission #77 A
The son of the famous Pirate "Rainbow" John Gryder has been using his father's reputation to scare the islanders in Organ Island! Even his own dad is sick of it! Shut him up in anyway possible, and the pirate will give you some of his treasure! Of course, if you're a marine you can just send them both to jail!

Tammy walked down the street of Orange Town, a black shirt that glittered in the sun due to the picture of a treasure chest on it which was made of some shiny cloth. She also wore a red scottish checkered skirt and two mismatched knee high socks with a pair of black sneakers. She was an odd sight if any fashionistas were around, but otherwise uninteresting. That is, in fact, if you missed the shovel which she had on the back of her neck, her two arms, clothed in red gloves, dangled from it as she used their weight to help keep it there. Then there was the fact of her oddly bright blue eyes and dark hair with a few lone strands of white. Yup, not a sight at all if you excluded all that.

She walked casually down the streets of Orange town, her eyes constantly flitting from store to store in search of ANYTHING she could use for her next voyage! While Sailing earlier this morning, she had come upon an extraordinary find which just might lead her to the reason so many ships have been missing in the East Blue! She had come here to get supplies so she could actually go on it but there was a small problem with that...OK A BIG ONE! Sadly, young Tammy was in fact BROKE! No money, no beri, nothing to help pay for the items she might need as she went on her way to actually get rich! The worst part was that this town has experienced its fair share of pirates so the likelihood of getting them to trust her enough to allow her to get the supplies before she got them the money was most likely NOT going to happen.

With a sigh, Tammy moved the shovel from the back of her neck and into her right hand and just as she looked down, SHE SAW A COIN! It wasn't enough for supplies but she certainly knew what she could use it for! Her stomach growled in anticapation for the food she was about to be filled with! Jumping into the nearest place to each which also acted as a bar, she quickly ordered anything she could on the menu. Despite being unable to pay for all of it, somehow the bringing of a coin had brought thoughts of being able to afford a lot of stuff. Lets just say this young one has been poor a bit too long.

(Up there, about ships missing in east blue, is mission 7 and could be our follow up mission to this.)

[Harusame]

Harusame walked in the streets of Orange Town. He just came from sailing. He was looking for a job to get some beri because he was practically broke. He wondered if there was a problem in this town worth alot of beri. He was starving and had a few coins. Well atleast enough for 2 meals. He found a reasturant that looked decent and went inside the resturant`s door. As he entered he saw only one spot was open. It was beside a strange girl wearing weird clothes.(no offense) Harusame sat beside her because hunger strived him to do almost anything. Then he got a closer look, the girl had a shovel? Was she a digger or something? She had strange fashion sense.

Harusame waited and waited for the waiter. And at the same time he was staring at the girl. She was smiling and looking at a coin she held. Harusame questioned in his mind over and over why was she smiling? Then the waitress came and Harusame ordered a bowl of beef. After that the girl was still smiling. Then he could not take it " Why are you smiling? " The girl stared at him with suprise.

( I think we should do the missing ship mission.)

Ok, this is good. This is why we are doing practice threads so that you may get used to this kind of environment. What you did at the end there would be called powerplaying. It is when you take control of another persons character without their permission and having them do stuff to your liking. If I had written something saying she was looking down at the coin and smiling, it would be different. But since I didn't you should say something more along the lines of "Looking next to him, he saw the strange girl in her wierd outfit and shovel by her side. She also seemed to have a coin with her" In this way, you don't necessarily powerplay her but your character makes observations. Then the last sentance should not be there.

(If you need help on what to elaborate your post with in order to reach the 200 minimum, I would go with the major three things E.T.C.!....yes I did just think of this BUT GO WITH IT! Environment, Thought, and Characters. Not in this order of course but remember to constantly describe the environment, the thought process your character is going through within this environment, and then the characters themselves. Better yet, add some awesome twist at the end of your post for the opposite person to react to!)

Tammy sat in her seat, simply ecstatic for no true apparent reason, rolling the coin through her fingers. It was a failed attempt to coax her nerves as well as calm herself down before the food got there. Instead, it made the wait seem all that much long which actually should not be very surprising considering that the place WAS full! She was even surprised she had found a seat! The only available space now seemed like the one next to her.

Eventually, the strangely dressed girl decided to stare at her "precious," her face developing a smile without her even noticing. She was just in a SUPER hyper mood today and the excitement of filling her empty stomach only made that more so. Her stomach eagerly agreed with a growl of it's own but not even Tammy heard it, the sound within the place having become too great for anyone to hear anything. Even the occupant of the seat next to her question was almost drowned out by the noise!

"Eh?" Tammy responded, at first dumbfounded by what he had said before realizing the question posed. Was she smiling? She didn't realize it herself but now that she thought back, she was wasn't she! "Well, just happy over finally having a break from poverty!" She shouted out before suddenly going silence and blank faced. "WAIT!!! SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU BEEN SITTING NEXT TO ME?!" She exclaimed, confusion prominant in her features.

[Harusame]

(sorry)

Harusame was suprised, she din`t know he was here the whole time? Well she was looking at the coin so he kind of belived it. He was going to answer when something caught his eye. It was a blade. No not even a blade, blades hanging by peoples sides. He looked around and noticed everyone was staring at him. He wondered why. Then he looked at this girl and the crowd and thought. The way she said it. They way they look. Oh no they though- His thought was cut off by a shout " Harraser!!! Get him!!!"

Harrasment!? He knew it. He got up and studied the enimes. Each one had a blade. Small blades big ones every kind. So he knew they were all bounty hunters. Then another man screamed " First one to beat him down gets the reward!"

Harusame heard this and unsheathed his blade. He decided Back Blade was the right move. He spinned his blade to its hilt. 5 hunters came and attacked. The first attacked in a downward way and Harusame doged it by going to his open side and hitting him in the face with his hilt. The second went in a sideways fashion and Harusame ducked then rose directly at the hunters neck and hit it. The third and forth did a combo. One went in a sideways fashion and the other the same. Harusame jumped sideways and both blades missed he landed and sliced them both in the chest. The last one, number 5, Harusame just looked at him and he ran.

Harusame then saw the other bounty hunters getting ready. Then he heard a womens voice. It was the waitress. She had a pistol. " GET OUT OR I WILL SHOOT.!!!" She pointed the gun to Harusame. Harusame lokked around. All bounty hunters smirked. He gritted his teeth and turned to the girl. "Thanks." He said sarcastically. He walked out slowly from the doors.

He looked across the road and saw a shop. He walked up to it and the man standing in front said " No shoes." Harusame took off his shoes and put them them to the wall. They were brown and as high as his heels. He walked in and saw the floor covered in carpets and the tables were small with no cairs. These must be those traditional restaurants were you sit on the floor and eat.He thought hard on what to do. What if the lady called the marines? Mabye even petty oficers he sat and worried in the restaurant.

(I thought this post was great! Sorry for taking so long, but things started to come up again D<. Damn my laziness and busy-ness. But yea! I loved this post! ^^)

Tammy's look of confusion lasted a few more seconds, as she stared at the man. Her mind really was reeling in an attempt to recall and perhaps remember such an unimportant detail. Only thing was that it seemed he was becoming preoccupied with the people in the room. His eyes shifted nervously between herself in the crowd, deep in thought. Now, she was even further confused but it seemed not to matter for the crowd inside the bar seemed to take it upon their own hands to settle whatever problem they believed to have at hand.

"Harasser!!! Get him!!!"

They seemed to shout in synchronization. Curiosity overtook her confusion, and she turned her head towards the rambunctious bounty hunters, wondering who exactly they meant. Without realizing it, her new found buddy seemed to be the cause of it all, and he quickly accepted that as he dove into the crowd, equipped with his own weapon to fight them off. Tammy continued to watch with an almost blank face. She watched as her fought bravely against them to the point where he ran out, finding the numbers too great to truly fend them all off.

Even weirder, people then seemed to walk up to her, thinking her face was blank due to the intense trauma she felt. Some whispered consoling words to her, and others rubbed her back as the bar tender offered a on the house glass of water. However, right when they were all crowded around her, her memory picked up!

"OH I REMEMBER!" She screamed, suddenly standing from the stool she sat upon, as she glanced at everyone triumphantly. "He came to sit next to me not too long after I came in! Isn't that ri-" She exclaimed, looking to the seat next to her only to find an old woman. "Hey, whe-OH YEAH!" She said, once more to the confused onlookers before she too ran out in search of that man, quickly grabbing for her shovel. The coin still at hand.

She may be slow but her memory was good and the way that man fought amazingly. Maybe he could help her out with something! That missing ship issue she thought about earlier. Thoughts of money and treasure once again floated around in her head just when she bumped into a man. Each fell down, she on her butt and he on his side. It didn't hurt in the least but she whined regardless, an old trick she learned in order to sucker some money out of the other.

Only, it didn't work. Instead, she looked up to find the man who had fallen, up and pissed off with what looked like a mangled arm. Did he.... her thoughts continued to the point where she couldn't help laughing at how immensly weak this man was. He broke his arm from a fall! Either that or he didn't feel like using it due to the "pain" it recieved. She didn't care. Either way she couldn't help but voice her thoughts towards him.

"Well arent YOU a wimp." She stated, giggiling more but it seemed to be a grave error for suddenly, she heard a few guns. Looking up she saw about 3 guns pointing at her head. She sighed "Seriously?" And all of this was happening right outside the resturaunt Harusame had just went into.

[Harusame]

Harusame was lost in his thoughts untill he heard a few clicks. He turned to the sound. It came from outside. He got up and peeked out the door. What he saw was that same girl who shouted. He nearly lost his senses until he saw the men holding guns to her head. She had made him get run out the restaurant but Harusame never abadons a girl in need.

He then shouted to the men "You better drop the guns." The men looked at him in a suprised look. Then they started laughing at Harusame. "Kid, you better leave. If you don't well...You'll meet satan preety soon." Harusame got his blade out and pointed it at the men. "Actually you got it backwards. Satan will greet you in about a minute." The men laughed and closed there eyes. When they opened them, Harusame was gone. "Tell satan I said Hi." The men looked down and Harusame was under them. Harusame stabbed the first man in the chest. He then kicked one guy in the sensative area and hit the other on the head with his hilt. He then smirked a little.

Harusame turned his head and looked the girl. Then looked at the shop. He then wondered about the lady again. Harusame then asked the girl."Ok I need 3 answers. One did anyone follow you. Two do these men have a bounty. And three...who are you?"

(When you are doing fight scenes, its fine to just do this in the beginning and get rid of the bad guys efficiently. But as you go on with writing, you have to prove that not only you are getting better but the people you are fighting are also getting a bit more hard. Detail your movements, how you fight, what they are called more at the same time without getting too graphic. AKA Guts. Blood is fine if you are going for a evil outlook. Detail where you aim, if it takes aim, how the opponents movements go. Also, remember that other people capable of fighting are in the thread. Unless your character feels them weak, I suggest you focus your character on one opponent and leave the others to focus on another.)

Tammy held her shovel in her hand, weighing her options. She could just stand up and walk along her way in search of that man, someone she supposed would be farther down the street with the jump start he recieved. Or she could fight off these men. It was very likely that she would have to fight them in both situations but it just seemed so TEDIOUS. UGH! And plus they had guns. It wasn't quite fair when you had a shovel and the opponent had a gun. Not that she couldn't fight it off... ok maybe she couldn't fight those off AS well but stillllllll, she wasn't in the moooooood.

Lucky for her, her friend ol' pal ol' buddy of hers popped out of one of the neighboring resturaunts! Her eyes widened and she squeeled with joy at seeing the man she was looking all the while the people shoved guns closer to her head, surprised by the high pitched noise. She mouthed the word hi as she waved her hand at him excitedly paying no mind to the people who threatened her with guns. One man seemed to be a ways away watching the scene fold out with an angry scowl on his face. The lack of fear the girl possessed made him extremely annoyed! Did she not know who he was?! And then a new person appeared!

"You better drop the guns."

Tammy just sat there, continuing on with her motions of waving and smiling like a small child at the man, not at all worried about the situation she was forced into. At any moment she could effectively get out of it with a simple swipe of her shovel but it was too tiresome. So, with him here, she could push all the responsibility on him as well as get to see him in action.

Of course the men laughed at him. Tammy had no reason not to laugh at him either, but the excitement of seeing him there was still fresh in her head and had no intention of leaving the happy camper any time soon so she could laugh at some dumb competition of power. But then he beat them to a pulp! Whack there, pow there, and they seemed to fall to the ground like flies!

Tammy listened. Well kinda, to his list of questions, but in the middle she popped up and just as he finished she wrapped her arms around him crying out "My Prince!" None of the questions ever seeming to be answered.

On the other hand, the man who watched all this happen from a distance stared at the two frightened out of his mind. Some of his greatest recruits have fallen to this boy in no time at all! Well, he couldn't have this boy running around! Running off, the man planned on what to do in order to get back at him for humiliating him although he didnt quite directly humiliate him.

[Harusame]

As Harusame finished his sentence the girl huged him yelling "My Prince!" Harusame was a bit suprised. He then tried to take her off but he just could not do it without hurtting her. Then he felt a pressence. He thought someone was watching but discarded the idea because of this girl.

He sighed deeply hoping the girl would let go after a while. Then he just took her off by taking her hands apart. Then he wiped his hakama. " Ok girl, answer my questions or else." He was going to start yelling but then heard a noise of a mob. He looked down the road and a gang of atleast 2 dozen people with guns and swords were running down.

"Thats who Jhon's son wants."

Harusame didn't know who Jhon or his son was but the 2 dozen people were pointing at him. He picked up the girl in his arms and started running. He was strong ut could not take so many people alone. He ran for a while untill he looked around the town and saw his solution. There were barrels,stands and etc.

Harusame jumped up and landed in front of a barrel. He kicked it behind him and about 5 of the 2 dozen fell as it hit there bellys. Then harusame kicked a apple stand and about 7 people fell from tripping on them.

Harusame then ran in alley and unfortunately it was a dead end. He dropped the girl and pointed at her "If you can do something, do it now!"

[SHADE SMASH]

Tammy continued to smile placidly at the man before her, even as he demanded answers to his questions and had, sadly, removed her arms from around his neck. They were so comfy their though, she whined in her mind, pouting slightly at him. The questions were already forgotten by her, not really absorbing them in the first place so she ignored that. But the sound of the oncoming mob instantly grabbed her attention from her supposed "prince".

Tammy herself glanced confusedly at the mob racing towards them at insane speeds for normal citizens. Then again, if they were working for that guy just now she wouldn't ignore the prospect that they were all demons or people hypnotized by his dashingly horrid looks! What other excuse could their possibly be! He was a jerk, no one follows jerks unless under some despicable need to perform wrong doings or being forced to do the deed in the first place!

Then, on top of that, who was John? He sounded familiar but her brain just couldn't seem to fit the pieces. It was quite annoying to say the least! However, with the fast approaching mob of people, just standing around and pondering wouldn't be enough! She held her shovel defensively prepared for a fight but instead got a whole lot of arm and suddenly was dragged away from the source of the action. Then he started fending them off himself. Not very good but still did so.

She was starting to get annoyed. Did he really think that she was his "damsel of distress"? She may had called him prince but thats just some fun and games and at the time he truly seemed a prince! Saving her from all those guns she didnt feel in the mood for!

Finally seemingly safe in an Alley, Tammy was simply dropped to the ground like a forgotten rag doll, her face contorted in anger at the man as she quickly jumped to her feet and brushed off her clothes with one hand, firmly holding her shovel in the other.

"Oh, so finally going to let me have fun?" She questioned, suddenly gritting her teeth with a flash of anger and surprise as she saw people approach from both sides of the alley. "Think you can handle yourself?" She teased before going at the people, holding her shovel like it was a sword.

Meanwhile, John's son Janeel watched as his minions chased after the bunch. They werent his strongest but hopefully numbers will win against this man. And if it doesnt, well then he would just have to revert to the obvious and create a princess in need of saving. She did call him prince right? They must have some long term relationship behind that! He reasoned with himself, a wicked grin widening on his face.

[Harusame]

Harusame heard this girl say "Oh, so finally going to let me have fun?" And a flash of anger went across her face. Well he did dump her on the ground. "Think you can handle yourself?" Harusame then got angry. "What do you think ive been doing this whole time?" Then She got that strange shovel and held it like a weapon."Wait, Thats your weapon?" Then he was cut off by the group of people attacking him and her. Tthen he lost the girls sight over the crowd.

He had not time to get Chi Ka so he used his bare fists. One man came and punched him in the stomach. Harusame staggered for a little. Then the man came for a elbow and Harusame dodged it with his head. Then he punched the man in the face. And kicked him in the groin twice. Two other men came in a pair and both attacked his rib cage. Harusame felt the daylights knock out of him. Then one guy grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him up and got ready to punch him. But Harusame grabbed the arm on his shoulder and twisted it then stepped to the side. The man was then immobilized and Harusameused his other hand to jab his neck and the man fainted. He then ran to the other man and kicked his leg so the guy fell. Then he pinched the mans neck and he also fainted. Harusame knew this was going to be hard. He wondered if that girl was ok. Then discarded the thought as others attacked.

[SHADE SMASH]

"Wait, Thats your weapon?"

Tammy heard her companion say before they both were lost in the mass of people whose one goal was to erradicate them. Even so, she could not prevent the smile that rose on her lips before she was forced back into attention by a some people flaying their swords around. Moving her shovel vertically, she jumped down, hearing the clanging of her shovel as the spaded head met with the swords before spinning the shovel, in turn doing her best to trip whatever people were near her.

It did did take out a few people but they only seemed to get more overwhelming and how they tried to stuff themselves in the alleyway was only making it worse. She jumped, using the shovel to jump over the heads of the people before raising it and using it to hit some of the people nearby like whack-a-mole, before setting her feet on some heads. She quickly kept moving over the crowd before she was once again in the middle but the numbers of them seemed once again unchanged.

She was getting annoyed now. Especially after seeing Harusame doing better than her! And the worst part was he was only using his fist!

Tammy ran at the people one more time, the few people at the front wielding swords as they tried to get a nick of her which she easily evaded and defended with the use of her shovel. Then, jabbing one of the fellows in the stomach, she banged it up and backwards into the jaw of another, and lastly moved it left forwards just barely defending the mans sword.

She continued a while longer, the numbers finally decreasing, but Tammy herself was quickly becoming exhausted, apparent by the sheen of sweat that coated her body and the way she panted. But nothing could prevent her feel of victory that she was finally making an impact on the group.

"How are you doing over there?" She asked just before someone grabbed at her shovel. A small tug of war ensued before she pushed forward having the man accidentally stab himself in the chest with the spade.
