-Tanakami’s gaze shifted to the boisterous man. She smiled that he was willing to talk to her after that display. She heard about the grave thing and debated since there were two piles of ashes and a body. She really wanted to try something. She had second thoughts as she brushed her hair out of her face then said, “Well, then you are my first member. If you want to spread the ashes, sure. As for the bloody body, I am thinking of sewing up the throat and trying something before we put it at rest. Hope you don’t mind.” She giggled a little bit, “ki shi shi~!”
She tapped her glass to have another from the bartender and this time, she sneaked her the expensive stuff very slyly. Mostly, she had a second bottle prepared while Tanakami was out that looked bottom shelf which was empty and poured some top shelf into it. Tanakami took a drink of it and noticed the taste difference. She smirked and said, “I love that sly bitch.”
The bartender chuckled and looked at the man as she said, “When you finish your beer, how about you get some top shelf too, on the house?”
Tanakami smiled and looked at him and said, “Yeah, why not? You are part of my crew now, we’re celebrating. What do you say to that?” She took another sip of the top shelf and did a little shimmy from enjoying the taste. She even closed her eyes as she smiled. “This crap is great!”-

-Tanakami took another drink and ended up just finishing it off. She smiled at the taste then tapped her glass for another. The bartender poured her another and she just downed it. the bartender gave a concerned look as she set the bottle aside until Tanakami tapped for another. She poured it and placed it down then said, “Watch yourself, you don’t want to get drunk.”
Tanakami giggled at her “ki shi..” then said, “I am not that pipsqueak anymore that nearly dropped dead from a shot glass. I can probably out drink anyone on the island by now. Except when pirates visit, no way can I out drink them.”
The bar got silent as a few marines came in. They seemed to be inspecting and looking for something. One of the men called out, “Does anyone own a dinghy that has the name ‘Keel Ju Ded’?”
The bartender gave Tanakami eyes to tell her not to say anything but Tanakami turned on her seat, wrapping a leg around the bar-stool’s backing and spoke to the marines openly, “Yeah, that’s my boat. What about it?”
The marines looked at one another and then the one came forward to her and said, “We must ask you to remove yourself or we will be forced to kill you.”
Tanakami’s interest peaked. She smiled and slowly laughed at the marines, “ki shi… ki shi shi… Ki Shi Shi Shi~!” She even threw her head back a little, she found this funny. The marines, not old enough to fully know her lineage, still got chills from her laugh. She gave them a look that gave them chills, her toothy grin with her purple hair falling over her face in strands as she righted her head. Her eyes locked on the marines as she spoke to them in an excited yet irritated tone, “Under what right do you have to tell me to leave from my home town? I have been returning here nearly every year.”
“Your ship has a name that makes us think you are a pirate,” One of them said, “So leave now or face death.”
Tanakami sighed and glared at the marines. “You think… I am a fuckin pirate?”
They stepped back a little and said, “um… yeah.”
Tanakami looked back and the bartender and said, “I will take them outside so I don’t get blood on your bar, okay?”
The bartender nodded and said, “Um… Thank you.”
Tanakami brought her leg over the stool backing again and stood herself up on the floor. She walked past the marines and noted that they weren’t coming outside. She smirked and as she walked past their shadows, hers grabbed two of theirs and sucked them in. She stepped out into the main road and looked at the marines and said, “Come on? Are you not going to fight the supposed pirate?”
The three marines walked out and as two of them hit the sunlight, they turned to dust. The other marine leaped back into the bar, terrified. Tanakami looked at him and smirked, she was giggling to herself. The marine stared at her and said, “You… You have a…”
“What’s the matter? You a chicken?” Tanakami smiled and laughed at him. The marine took out his gun and shot at her, one of the shadows forming a solid wall in front of her. She then formed it into bats that flew at the marine. The marine tried to run from them but he tripped and they grabbed his arms and legs. “What do you not understand about fighting outside? Are marines not taught any manners?” She chided him and then once he was out the bats let him go and she held herself wide open as she said, “I dare you to take another shot… This is your last chance to leave alive. If you do choose to leave, tell them that Gekko Tanakami protects this town from scum like you.” The marine looked at her and pulled out his pistol again. “Wrong answer,” She spoke as her shadow came out in the form of a wolf then leaped at the Marine’s throat, his screams silenced as blood trickled into his throat. Tanakami pet the shadow wolf as she walked back into the bar and sat down. Everyone was staring at her, some in fear, some in respect. She waited to return the shadows to her until she heard the gurgled screams stop. “I will clean that up when I leave.”-

-Tanakami allowed the cheap liquor to edge down her throat with a simple sip. She tingled a bit and sighed in satisfaction. She enjoyed the taste of the cheap end not just because it was helpful to her home town. She enjoyed the soft burn of alcohol as it went through her throat and sometimes into her nose. She smiled and ran her finger on the glass as she set it down. She’d drank a forth of the glass in her first sip and seemed still rock steady.
Her dark eyes blinked as she looked over the soft shine of the glass, it now marked with her greasy prints from her fingers and lips. She then looked up to the silver-haired woman that served her the brew, she’d been there for years and knew her all too well. Most of the typical patrons knew her as well, but there were new faces. Some were pirates, some were explorers, but usually there was a fisherman or two. Seemed most this time were people exploring. She sighed and looked at the bartender, “What happened to the fun around here?”
She looked at Tanakami and said, “Oh, well, it is too calm for pirates anymore and the marines have been starting to base around here and regulate the fishing. We have to sell our fish and buy from others now.”
“Sounds like bullshit to me,” Tanakami said and drank another sip, leaving her with half a glass. She was rather pissed by this news. “The marines should back the fuck off and let towns run themselves how they want.”
The bartender smiled a bit and said, “Just be careful~! If a marine hears you talking like that, they might mistake you for a pirate.”
Tanakami smirked and said, “That isn’t half a bad idea but until I got people willing to sail with me, I will pass.”-

-Tanakami sits on her dinghy, she is floating out of her old home. She has grown since the last few times she visited and seems to only ever be able to find her way back there before traveling out elsewhere. She thought it would be a great time to dock and take a walk around. She noted there was new buildings but one thing stayed the same, the pub. She walked on in and waved to the greyed bartender who swiftly gave her a hug. “Tanakami, it has been years!” The bartender spoke.
Tanakami smiled, revealing her very sharp teeth that she had inherited. She wanted to laugh but it tended to freak people out. “Meri, I try to visit at least once a year, you know that~!” She spoke with a firm and slightly high tone.
The bartender smiled and said, “How about I get you something? What do you drink now?”
“Whiskey but I can take something cheap so I don’t ruin your business,” Tanakami was being kind to her but ended up letting out a small laugh, “ki shi shi…”
“You still laugh like him,” The bartender was quick and hid what she gave to Tanakami, actually pouring her something rather expensive.
“I wish I’d of met him and isn’t the cheap stuff in the other space?” Tanakami had caught her from knowing the bar so well. She brushed some of her purple hair back out of her face then placed her hand beneath her chin.
The bartender tried to make a quick lie, “We switched the place around.”
“That’s what you said last time,” Tanakami was amused by her antics.
“Alright, fine, why can’t I bring this out because you came home?” The bartender questioned, still holding the bottle until she heard an answer.
“Because,” Tanakami said, “I was born and raised here and I don’t want you to lose money. So suck it up and give me the crappiest low priced shit drink you got!”
The bartender giggled and put the expensive stuff away, taking out her lowest priced alcohol and pouring a glass for her. She handed it to her and said, “Better drink it all.”
“I always do,” Tanakami smirked and let out a quiet laugh, some of the older patrons in the bar getting a chill from it.-

-Signs very badly.-

-Vic sighed and saw the woman die, it was a sigh of enjoyment. She decided to head over to the idiotic lady captain and started stripping clothes off the body. She then giggled and started to gently slice the already dead body. She was enjoying herself. She also knew she could be used as food and making stuff, probably. She ended up cutting the body into sections and thought about frying it up over a fire but she didn’t know where there would be fire and had nothing to attempt to make fire. So she just focused on cleaning the meat from the skeleton. She wasn’t very good at it.-

History:
She was conceived of a one night stand. Within the womb, her mother had tried to make a miscarriage in order to save her own life but other than beating her baby bump, it would not prevail. In the end, the birth killed the mother and Tanakami survived. The doctor present knew the hair color to belong to only one other person, Gekko Moriah. The child was raised alone and taught survival skills but soon, the doctor was dead and she would move out to the streets to survive. During her time, she found a pirate crew in at the local bar. They were carrying a strange fruit. She decided to go in and make herself look as pathetic as possible and begged. The town knew this trick but the pirates were not and had a open heart, luckily. They didn’t know of the fruit they had would contain and figured the little girl would be a perfect test to see what it was. She ended up eating the entire thing. The pirates were sad with no results but offered her a place on their crew. She rejected but they left her a dinghy behind with a small paint can. She looked at it when she saw them and immediately named it off the phonetic pronunciation since she could not spell correctly. She waited for it to dry then got supplies and since then had rowed around on her dinghy to other places, practicing shadow manipulation in her spare time in search of her father’s ship, Thriller Bark.

-Vic listened to the on-going conversations. She got excited when the buff one got behind her with his hammers out. She was excited for the thrill of the kill. She then frowned when there was an issue of alliance talk. But she regained her excitement when she was included for the slaughtering of the new crew if they failed. She gripped her dagger and pulled it out a little bit. She wanted someone to run.-
-
-Vic heard what he said and her mind was made up. When he went inside she moved to head back to her broken rock only to hear a gunshot then hear a woman’s calls. She saw the running and screaming of a few and some standing their ground. She gripped her dagger, not even noticing that Virgil had taken to the scene. She was ready to start slicing people if they attacked her first but one of the women that came back with threaten man and buff person started to try and reason with the crazed lady. She shook her head thinking it wouldn’t work but gave her some time, releasing her grip on her dagger. What the woman said was true, she guessed, seeing as everyone had been getting care. That was really the only thing she noticed while she was up there before she got forced down from her perch. She kept her hand near her dagger and stayed at the ready.-
-
-Vic had no reaction time as the attractive one, only because he threatened her before. She fell right into his arms and looked up at the man wide-eyed. She was unusually light for her height but she wasn’t sure if the man would pick up on it. She was let onto her feet and heard him say that they needed to speak. She saw him walk and decided to follow. She listened to what he said as they walked and when he was done talking, she spoke, “Look sir, I was in the provision the entire journey so I ain’t a clue where in ‘ell we are! I dun know what you are unless you are a pirate. But you look a fancy type. Also, you evah ate a tongue, sir?” She was curious. She thought again and quickly added, “But not like I ‘ave.”-

-Vic remained up upon her stone. She watched as suddenly everyone left. She didn’t comprehend what was going on and didn’t bother to try to. She thought it was a great time to just sit there and watch them leave. Her eyes followed the ship as it went out and noticed that there was a little dot they were heading towards. She shrugged and stayed up on her rock, nibbling on her bread a little then put it back. She saw them eventually come back and she smiled at them from afar. She watched people coming off and there was many more than what left. She saw what looked like slaves and she yelled out, “WHITE DEVIL!” She was not coming down but found it fun to yell that again. She wasn’t going to move, she was comfy.-
-
-Vic remained up on the stone that had the tenant. She looked down at the men and was impressed when the assassin caught it. She smirked when they split ways. She didn’t know what the buff guy was looking for and she couldn’t hear them from where she was. She ended up nibbling on her loaf some more and just watching. It hurt a bit to eat due to her having not eaten that much in a long time. She stuffed it back into her shirt and broke a piece off and threw it down at the ground to see what that would do.-
-
-Vic stayed near the water and felt herself feel a lot less exhausted. She made her way back up then decided to try and climb back up on top of the rock again. She made her way back up easily and took out her partial loaf and nibbled on it again. She looked down and around as she looked at the men below and around her. She ended up taking out the apple and tossing it down at the master assassin. She wanted to see what he’d do and watched carefully. She was trying to find something to do up there really. Also she hoped she wouldn’t knock him out and he could have it as a gift.-
-
-Vic stayed laying on the ground until a sudden foot jostled her. She gripped her dagger and wanted to stab but saw it was the buff man and just let it go. She released her grip on the dagger and looked at him with an odd look. He left quickly and she just took a deep breath. She scooted herself back towards the wall and leaned herself against it. Every time one of the men passed her, she’d grip her dagger again. She was out of it but she was aware only in the area of protecting herself.
She finally stood herself up weakly and tried to find a better place to recover, after maybe checking on the guy she knocked out with the loaf of bread. She poked him with her finger and saw he wasn’t waking up just yet. She took the loaf that landed on him and stuffed it into his shirt then walked weakly away to go explore and find a place to rest. She ended up finding her way down to the water and sat with her feet in the water and nothing else.-
-
-Vic remained on top of the rock. She finished a fourth of the loaf before tucking it into her shirt once more. She looked down on all sides and thought of something she didn’t think of when she got up there, how in the bloody hell was she going to get down. She looked at the path she took to get up and thought about retracing it back down. She also noted that one of the men that weren’t dead or being used seemed to be heading to the ship. She took out the one full loaf of bread she had and threw it at him. Due to the bread not exactly being fresh anymore, it kind of knocked him out a little bit.
She watched them fall over and yelled out, “BLOODY ‘ELL! SORRY!” She looked at the rock face again again and how she got up and finally slowly scooted herself around, gripping the top of the rock for dear life. She then slipped her foot into one of the letters but it was the ‘O’ in ‘innocent’ so she nearly slipped. She fell down but her fingers caught onto a ledge below that and gripped hard though now her fingers hurt. She yelled out “SHIT!”
She took a deep breath and got a foot hold and continued to slowly inch her way back down the rocks. She ended up getting half way down before she was losing energy but she forced her body to keep hold. She kept looking and feeling for a way down and eventually, made it back to the bottom and collapsed there from exhaustion.-
