020 Ahoy maties

[kinship]

[A: Hardware Store (Open to All)]

[Clearly after you've died, had a breakdown about it, and stayed in hiding with your brother for a couple of weeks, the healthiest way to move on is to pretend it never happened and do something foolish to alleviate the tension. He doesn't want to discuss serious topics any more, he doesn't want to see the people he cares about in pain. He wants smiles and laughter again, so it's his job to make it happen. His usual targets and endeavours didn't appeal, and it was the heat of the summer that drew him to this idea.

Having raided Abel's wallet that morning, he's shopping in the hardware store for things all children need to enjoy the holidays. Several planks of wood, some rope, white sheets, castors, tools and paint. Ask him what he intends to do with his haul? Or help him carry it?]

[B: Church (Open to All)]

[Having left his supplies safely hidden outside, Cain is creeping into the cool interior of the church. He doesn't really want to risk any possible serious conversations, so he's trying to be quiet as a mouse and sneaky as a ninja to avoid everyone. He's aiming to raid the sweets and cakes stash that Ciel and Abel keep in the kitchen. Hopefully he won't get caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar...!]

[C: Park (Open to All)]

[Having got his supplies, Cain has somehow managed to drag them all to the park, where he sets about building something. A couple of sweaty hours later, he's managed to make what looks like two rafts on wheels, along with a couple of 'oars' to propel the rafts across the grass. Each raft has a flag. The one Cain is sat on is flying the pirate skull and crossbones, and the other one sports a blank flag.

Cain, wearing an attractive eyepatch and bandanna (read: bits of sheet he has torn up to roughly make these things), shouts out at passersby in a horrifically fake pirate accent.]

AVAST, ME HEARTIES! COME TAKE PART IN THE BATTLE OF THE PARK, THE RACE OF THE GRASS... OR ARE YE LILY-LIVERED? THAR BE A PRIZE FOR THE ONE THAT CAN BEAT ME, THE FIERCE PIRATE CAPTAIN CAIN ONE-EYE!

[Said prize is a basket of stolen cakes and sweets, raided in a very pirate-like fashion from the church earlier. Come one and all to race or mock, your choice.]

Comments

[b: church]

[wolfishsurvivalist]

[Someone was in the church, having found it a good place to read and rest in solitude. The sound of quiet footsteps catches her attention and she cocks her head, her ears flicking toward the sound. Slipping a marker into her book, Mika smiles faintly.]

And where's this little church mouse creeping off to?

[kinship]

[Uh oh, busted! The best thing to do is to smile innocently and pretend he had every right to be here.]

Ah... sorry, Miss Mika, did I disturb you?

C

[mal_addict]

[Maladict's just going to stop and...stare at this spectacle]

...You are aware this isn't the ocean, right? Just making sure you're not having some sort of episode.

[kinship]

Oooarrrr.

Thar be why it's the grass pirate battles.

[In other words: yes.]

B: Church

[fatherangeldust]

[Trying to be sneaky as a ninja AND quiet as a mouse, is hard to do when Anderson is involved. With his back turned toward Cain, it may be safe to assume that he hasn't heard his approach. He'll wait to see just how far Cain gets before he addresses him.]

[The saying, "eyes in the back of your head" seems to nearly hold true with this one...]

[kinship]

[He is slinking behind pews, trying to stick to the shadows, creeping much more quietly than a normal child should be capable of.

Shhhhh!]

C

[noluckduck]

[The sight initially makes Clover stop and stare, but then she grins.

It's so easy to forget Cain's just a little kid.]

Do we need to have an awful pirate accent to join in on this or is that optional?

[kinship]

[Sometimes he forgets himself that he's a kid, but it's always freeing to play like one. He considers this a moment... hm.]

Definitely mandatory.

C;

[encored]

[what the everloving hell is happening here

what

is happening]

Ah, I see you've finally released the last vestige of your sanity. That must have been liberating.

[kinship]

[He doesn't so much mind Charles showing up, their conversations usually end in trolling and not so much serious discussion.

So he grins, waving his sword (which is actually a stick) threateningly.]

Be careful how ye talk to Captain One-Eye.

C: Have a real pirate :P

[sumofallreds]

What in the hell are you doing?

[Cue Marvelous, who has been using the park as his parking/hovering spot for the day, standing on the Galleon's anchor, staring incredulously at Cain.]

oho

[kinship]

[Wow, what? Is that a real pirate ship?]

...Ahoy?

B 1/3

[scripturale]

[LUCKY FOR CAIN CIEL ISN'T IN ATM




but her pet is. And given that normal people can't see the spirit familiar, Cain may proceed to raid the pantry like the stealthy pirate ninja that he supposedly is while a horse loli ghost watches him from the other side of the room with vivid curiosity...]

B→C 2/3 because I can SHHHHHHHHHHHH

[ex_seventh238]

[--WHICH later on gets reported to Ciel, of course. Seven is rather dim-witted for as far as a sentient familiar is concerned, but she was at least able to relay to her master the general direction that the boy's set off to.

It doesn't take Ciel long to catch sight of Cain at the Park.

At which point she is just going to stare.

Blink a few times.




...UH...]

C

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[Whats that about Wes being a grown man? He just sees some most approved of activity from a kid. And strikes an absurdly dramatic pose]

Ye scabrous pirate!

[kinship]

[HELL YES! SOMEONE TO PLAY WITH HIM! He strikes an equally dramatic pose back.]

Insults won't save your ship, merchant!

C

[thebeastwithout]

[Beast Boy passes by and pauses before shaking his head.]

Dude. C'mon, we've got reputations as superheroes to keep up. You can't go around saying that kinda stuff!

[kinship]

[He waves his sword (a stick) at Beast Boy, shaking his head.]

What are you doing in the water, First Mate?

[You know you want to play.]

C

[keep_smiling]

[Cain Cain CAIN THIS IS THE GREATEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE. You're being approached by a widely-grinning smile junkie who stands at attention and salutes. Yeah sure okay.]

I'm ready for the challenge! I can liberate those pastries and bring them back to then hungry children back on the main land!

[kinship]

[Oh no, it's him.

The last thing Cain wants to do is play with Elmer, not that he's giving any indication of that.]

You are welcome to try, but ye won't be stealing my treasures!

C

[littleredwolf]

[Aww. Sansa smiles at the boy.]

You make a fearsome pirate indeed, Ser Cain. Surely all the fleets of all the world's kings tremble before you.

Re: C

[kinship]

[He gives a dramatic double take.]

I had thought the legends of beautiful mermaids were all just lies, but thar be one off the starboard bow!

C

[gezellig]

[That was. . . Holland will pick up his bunny and walk over, a little quickly.]

Cain! It's you, right?

[kinship]

[He's pretty glad to see Holland out and about, waving his stick at the nation happily.]

Who is this Cain ye speak of? I am the DREAD PIRATE CAIN!

[ action ♥ park ]

[vividly]

Um... Cain?

[ Vivio takes a break from her self-training to look over at him, confused and mildly concerned. ]

What are you doing?

[kinship]

[He's glad he came to the park today, it gives him the opportunity to see all his friends.]

I'm playing at pirates, Miss Vivio! Do you want to play with me?

C

[hasteeth]

[ WHOA WHAT IS ALL THIS BUILDING RUCKESS ABOU?. TOOTHLESS IS TRYING TO SLEEP IN THIS PARK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

And since he's been woken up, this dragon will just go examine the source of this noise. ]

[kinship]

[Wow, he hadn't expected to see a real dragon... Of all the things he has seen here in Mayfield, he still wasn't prepared for this.

Staring, he raises a hand to give a sort of nervous wave.]

...hello?

C Henry's joining the park party

[theboywiththebook]

[Well haven't seen you since horrorfield. Henry had just been walking along, reading a comic book he got, when he saw Cain's little set up.

Curiously he walks up and looks at the rafts that Cain apparently built.]

What are you doing?

yeah fine

[kinship]

[Looking around at the familiar voice, he grins and leans off the raft.]

I be sailing the seven seas, ye scurvy dog!

C

[pasodoble]

( He'll stop, look around, and then point at himself. No, you can't mean him. )

[kinship]

[He certainly does, swinging his 'sword' in Spain's direction.]

Avast thar!

C... ; A;

[cucumbers]

[ Nitori cocks her head. ]

N-Neh, don't pirate normally exist on the ocean?

[ Something's not right about this! ]

[kinship]

[He grins at the newcomer, shaking his head.]

There isn't an ocean in Mayfield. Besides, I'm a special case.

c. late late whatever i do what i want /shades

[bloodsugar]

[derp is as derp does, right?

it's rather uncanny, Cain is sure to find, that a short while after he arrives in the park with his attractive eyepatch and bandana

there is a suspiciously tall and lanky bastard with an eyepatch on the other eye and a hat he's managed to wrangle from SOMEwhere. it's a little rough around the edges but it has a feather in it and is clearly a pirate hat. shut up... like your sheet-bandana is any better!!!

he's jumping on the opposite 'raft' and hanging dramatically from the mast which may or may not be wobbling in protest at holding his weight.]

ARR! What TOMFOOLERY be my one-eye monkey up to, pretendin' to be a Captain?! I'll make 'em walk the plank!!

omg so late... /steals shades

[kinship]

[He had been wondering when his brother would show up, grinning when he sees the dreadful pirate hat that Abel has managed to make for himself.]

Pretendin'?! Did I hear ye correctly? Ye think to take me captainship away from me?

c. yeah this is totally on time. yep.

[birthmarked]

[I could probably leave a blank comment here with this icon, but that'd be too easy.

Esther's love of walks around town has foiled her yet again when she comes across pirate! Cain. While she's pleased he's off having fun, it's a little horrifying he picked this kind of fun after the pirate story she told before.]

... You want to fight...?

time is an illusions :3

[kinship]

[Pirates are totally a good thing to play at, he got to steal from the church and everything!]

Yaaaargh, 'tis the lot of the pirate to fight.
