[Moon 10, Morning - Aftdeck] GROUP A - Fashion 101

[Hida Musasha]

Once the Bayushi's on board, the Hida just hollers, "This trip ain't part o' th' lesson. Jus' brace yerselves after throwin' me th' rope. I ain't gonna wait ta be lifted."

When he gets the rope, Musasha scurries up it like a spider.

After, he says, "Anyone else want ta give tossin the rope a try when th' Dragon goes over?" As he says so, the Dragon dives in.

The big man almost...almost smiles...

[Agasha Qian-Fan]

Having gotten all the water he can easily remove out of his hair, Qian-Fan stands once more. Water is still running out of his sodden clothes and he frowns at the sleeves while considering a quick bit of cosmetic clothing surgery.

[Bayushi Nobuyoshi]

Having nearly drowned, it's so tempting to simply lie on the deck, and enjoy breathing air instead of water. Or even just wonder about damage to clothing like the Phoenix.

Showing such weakness before the Crab and the Manits is simply not acceptable for a Scorpion though.

Instead, he draws upon his natural grace and training in On to rise back to attention, and await whatever order the mad Mantis cared to throw at him next.

[Kitsuki Kotsu]

When someone is ready to throw him a line, the Kitsuki will prepare to jump...

"Alright then. Here we go..."

With a deep breath, Kotsu goes over the rail and into the water below. With some ease, the Dragon comes back to surface of the water, easily wading as he waits for those above to throw down the rope.

When the rope does come his way, the wiry courtier is able to bring it around himself and tie a strong knot quickly. He then waits to be pulled up...

[Hida Sayuri]

(right, time warp)

Sayuri takes a moment, rope in hand, to gauge the distance, and then the rope sails out to land neatly beside the Kitsuki.

After which, the hauling was a simple, and now familiar, job. "Welcome back, Kitsuki-san."



[edit for hitting the damn button too soon. Tired gamer is tired.]

[Yasuki Himiko]

Once she is back on the deck, Himiko looks around carefully. Then she starts shaking herself out, splashing water on anyone unfortunate enough to be close by. Thankfully, she has apparently wrapped herself in enough layers that her chest wraps have not suddenly become translucent.

Sayuri takes a moment, rope in hand, to gauge the distance, and then the rope sails out to land neatly beside the Kitsuki.

After which, the hauling was a simple, and now familiar, job. "Welcome back, Kitsuki-san."

Taking a few moments to shake off the excess water, Kotsu turns to the towering Crab samurai-ko.

"Arigato for the speedy 'rescue', Hida-san."

[Shiba Nozomi]

Nozomi bows shallowly to Nobuyoshi and returns to Himiko and Naomi. "Sh-Shiba-sama? Y-your turn and w-we're done..."

[Moshi Kaimenko]

"Not quite buttercup, Isawa-san hasn't taken his salt water bath just yet either," came the woman's cool, dry voice. She must have the hearing of a bat to pick the girl's voice out of all the noise.

[Shiba Naomi]

Nozomi bows shallowly to Nobuyoshi and returns to Himiko and Naomi. "Sh-Shiba-sama? Y-your turn and w-we're done..."

"Yup. My turn to get wet behind the ears," she offered jokingly.

Slipping over the railing, Naomi was cautious to jump out far enough to not hurt herself on the side of the ship.
The small Phoenix was afloat and swimming with ease as she waited for the others to hoist her up.

[Isawa Junpei]

Finishing the others haul the Bayushi back up to the deck he sighed hearing his name mentioned by Kaimenko. "Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later."

Heading to the railing he placed one foot on it and then propelled himself into the ocean. Hitting the water he kicked his way back to the surface using experience he'd gained over years of living on the coast. Paddling to the surface he laid on his back and floated awaiting his own rescue, eyes staring up at the sky and the side of the ship.

[Moshi Kaimenko]

"Agasha-san, it looks like you've recovered. Care to throw your cousin a rope?"

[Agasha Qian-Fan]

"Hai, Moshi-sama."

The young priest wasted no time in grasping a rope and throwing it towards Junpei, landing it a mere arms reach away.

[Isawa Junpei]

Junpei might have been disgruntled at having to tie his own rope, but still, he wanted out of the water as fast as possible, even if at this point if he'd been conscious he would have never fallen overboard to begin with or simply flown to the deck if he's by some peculiarity he'd managed to reach the water. Doing much the same as he had with the Hida, he wrapped the rope around him a couple times and then did up a quick knot, one Kaimenko had just had him practicing over and over. "Alright, ready"

[Agasha Qian-Fan]

Yet again, Qian-Fan began to haul someone back onboard. He didn't ask anyone for help but there was plenty of room behind him to help with the rope.

[Shiba Naomi]

"Ready whenever you guys are," Naomi called up to Nozomi and Himiko. Seeing her fellow Phoenix being hoisted up, she felt a relief that she would be the last one to go up as she'd hate to leave a shugenja in the water after her.

[Moshi Kaimenko]

Once everyone has gone in and come back out, the woman claps her hands sharply to get their attention.

"The last reason that you don't want to wear armor on board a ship is this: when you go over the rail, you won't always be conscious. That means you sink to the bottom of the sea, all wrapped up in your pretty layers of wood and steel. Finally, last point of the day, footwear..."

She jerks her head towards Koichirou rounding the ship and having problems, "There's a perfect example of why we make do without. Unless you're an octopus with a few tentacles free, it's hard to grip the deck with your toes if they're in sandals or boots. Doubly so when the deck is wet... which it often is because we're on, you guessed it, the sea."

"Everyone give me two laps around the ship, then you're free to go play with your new friends. Lesson's done," the Moshi finishes.

[Hida Musasha]

"Hai sensei!" Musasha immediately sets to running.

[Hida Sayuri]

Once the rope is coiled at her feet, Sayuri jogs off to join the herd of recruits lapping the boat.

[Bayushi Nobuyoshi]

At the gunso's words, the Scorpion jogs off the best he can. Armor, footwear, and having nearly drowned, it's likely the only hanging out he was going to do after the laps was in his berth. Alone.
