[AQ] When you leave them alone [Paii/Calli]

[Minji]

"Scurvy is - " She thought for a long moment - she wasn't sure how graphic Calli wanted it, so the pirate shrugged to herself and decided the truth was the best. "Pain comes first, then you get lazy, bleeding and swollen gums - your tongue can swell too - gets hard to breath. OH! And then your wounds stop healing properly and sometimes old ones open up, and then you kind of go yellow and swell up and then you die." There was an odd gleefulness to her voice as she spoke - as if it was all very exciting to her. Honestly - she was glad that she'd probably never get it. "Going on an adventure at sea can take way longer than you predict or you can get lost." Another shrug. "Not enough previsions, not enough vitamins and stuff so, you just get sick. Plus the sea is filled with nasty bacteria!" Again she was probably a little too excited about that. 

"All the rooms have the same kind of layout - " The pirate began - they were dorms after all. They were probably all like pre-made stuff that just got shoved inside each room.  

Taking another moment - the pirate shoved her sword away and flew to the other side of the room. There was plenty of stuff around - although the desk near the window was covered in makeup. Not something that Paii was really interested in. Calli might like to look though. Shaking herself the pirate dove down kicking a few things out of her path as she landed. It looked like they'd come to a decent room though, there was a small sewing kit at the corner of the desk. 
It was a little difficult opening the damned thing, but with a satisfying 'click' it opened up to reveal a nice array of supplies. Although there was really only one thing the pirate was after, her fingers found the sharp pin easily and she tugged it out. It was a little smaller than her sword - with a small green ball at one end. She was sure that Calli would like it and they'd be able to actually have a sword fight!

Her head shot up at the sound of Callis voice and she moved quickly towards the other fairy - and spotting the draw full of stuff she couldn't stop the gasp. Calli had found just about the best treasure she'd ever seen. The pirate had a weak spot for skulls herself and all of the jewlry looked arg-mazing. "CALLI! YOU JUST FOUND THE MOTHERLODE!" She moved down quickly - a large smile on her face. She dropped the pin on top of the desk - she'd tell Calli about it soon.

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

Calli nodded furiously as Paii began to explain, her eyes wide and sparkling with anticipation. But the more the pirate explained, the less excited she got; her face soon gradually turned from excitement to one of absolute mortified horror. That...That didn't sound exactly pleasant. "That's awful!" she cried, her hands immediately grabbing at her arms as if she was folding herself away from the terrible disease that Paii had just spoken of. But if she was right, the Guardian Character sounded a little too...happy...about the whole thing. Was this something she should be concerned about? Actually the more the other fairy spoke, the more horrified she got. Sailing at sea sounded so dangerous! Was it really something fun? But but, it sounded like it could be lots of fun! "Paiiiiiiiiii!" she whined as the other finished talking. "I-I don't want to get sick! If I get sick, we'll die and we'll never get to go on an adventure again!" She couldn't help giving the other a panicked look. "We-We should find like good food and stuff quickly! I don't wanna die because I didn't have enough provisions!" It was clear that she had, perhaps, taken in Paii's explanation a tad too literally.

Except she couldn't see any food in the room just at first glance...maybe it was all stored in the cupboards? Oh but they were so high up...maybe she could look at them later. Right now she was still in the drawer, staring at the shiny ring in her hands. It looked really big though; what could they do with it? Honestly she didn't know, but she soon beamed at Paii as the pirate came closer.

She gave a wave. "Hi Paii!" she greeted the other, although they just saw each other barely a few minutes ago. She pointed at the inside of the drawer - there were bracelets and necklaces and rings of all kinds, each with its own shiny finish. They were all mostly silver in colour, with some gold chains here and there, and some small gems inset in the jewelry as additional design. Were they real though? She didn't know - she stared at the red jewel that was set in the silver ring in her hands.

"Um..." she blinked, a look of confusion on her face. "What do we do with these? I don't think we can eat them..."

[Minji]

"IT IS!" She was still too excited about the entire thing, so she tried to calm herself a little. Sickness really wasn't fun - but it was all part of life at sea. Or at least, it had been. From what the little pirate knew scurvy was barely a thing anymore and sea-faring people never seemed to get the disease anymore at all. "But death is all part of the adventure!" She, much like Minji didn't really fear anything. Death was just something that would happen eventually, and she'd face it with her head held high. Even if it meant visiting good ol' Davey. "But we don't have to worry about all that today." She wasn't sure if she'd said scurvy took a while to happen? It could still get treated if somebody was in the early stages? Paii shrugged to herself. "We won't be gone nearly long enough to worry about it." 

"We don't eat them!" She stook a hand in the air, clearly about to say something she deemed as 'very cool'. "We horde them and then split them later!" Okay - that probably wouldn't sound all that good to a nice seeming chara like Calli, so she searched her brain again for a better, safer explanation. "This is like - a reward....and like...a kind of money..." She was struggling. Pirates weren't really good people. They did bad things, and she wasn't really sure the other would be okay with that.

Paii decided a swift subject change was needed. "OH! I found you a sword!" The pirate floated back up to the top of the desk - grabbing the pin and brought it back down the the other fairy. Paii needed to play it up a little probably - so presented in in two hands, hoping that it would pull Callis attention away from their previous subject. "It's not exactly a sword - but I think it'll do ye well."

She let her gaze drift towards the door - she didn't really want to hang around for too much longer. While it was likely that neither of the girls occupying the room would come back, it wasn't a great idea to just keep hanging around. Paii wasn't sure if they'd be able to see them or not either.

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

"D-death?" Calli repeated, a stutter evident in her voice. But if they died they wouldn't be able to see each other again! Was it really okay to be excited by something as definitive as...death? Uh...Uhhhhh... Maybe she wasn't quite so cut out for the whole sailing at sea. But it sounded so exciting though...! She didn't want to be left behind on land while everyone else was having so much fun! But she soon blinked at the Guardian Character's words, taking a while to process them. "R-really?" she asked, her tone unsure. They weren't going to do that dangerous of a journey? They weren't going to get all these nasty wounds or something? They weren't going to die?? She perked up a little. "Okay! If Paii says so!"

The brunette fairy startled slightly at the pirate's words, blinking in surprise. The ring was still in her hands, the silver glinting in the little light there was, that was shining into the drawer. "S...Split them...?" The Guardian Character repeated, a tilt of a head in confusion. How do you split something as hard as a ring? She stared back at the jewelry in the drawer and down back at the ring in her hands, a puzzled look upon her features. As the other Guardian Character proceeded to explain, the brunette fairy simply blinked at the other, still not quite getting it. "Reward...? Money...?" She was confused. How were they reward? Reward for? And what did money have anything to do with it?

But the tiny fairy soon perked at the moment of a 'sword' - and her eyes grew big and wide with anticipation. "A sword?! Really?!" she cried, an eagerness in her voice. Did that mean she could fight alongside Paii, like in all those pirate movies?! Or even spar with the pirate Guardian Character, developing her skills as a pirate hand? She waited with bated breath as the other flew away; only to return with what seems to be her weapon.

The tiny sprite gave off a high-pitched squeal, taking the pin in her hands with glee. It wasn't a real sword, but it was a weapon that resembled one! She couldn't help but hold it in the air, as if admiring the long sharp metal in the light. "It's perfect!" she cried, before she swung it around, trying to imitate one of the pirates from the movies. Ahhh this was sooooooooooooo cool! Her eyes were sparkling as she looked back at Paii, clearly happy with what the pirate had given her. "Thank you so much Paii!"

[Minji]

Obviously Paii was not clear enough. She was a little annoyed and let out a huff. Calli was a new pirate she supposed - so she'd have to properly explain what she was talking about. "Like you get half of what we take, and I get half." Probably a little more than half actually, she was the Pirate Queen after all. She moved a little, patting the ring that Calli was still holding. She wondered briefly how much Calli actually knew about anything. Obviously Paii was her only access to pirate things. "A reward for the adventure and jewelry can be sold and traded for other things, so money." The pirate shrugged, it really should have been obvious.

All the same - she was glad that Calli was happy with what she had found for her. It wasn't the best, but it would do and considering she was so enthusiastic about it Paii thought that it was probably the best thing she could have found as well. She gave the other Guardian Character a thumbs up before she dove down into the draw - sweeping up a few things. It wasn't like they'd be able to take it all with them in the end, but hanging a few chains and pendents around her neck and grabbing a ring would probably give them enough to 'play' with. 

"Come on then! Grab some of this booty and lets continue with our adventure!" They had been in there for a while now and Paii was getting a little angsty. She wanted to get away from what was going to be her biggest haul for the longest time. Calli would get it, right? Pirates didn't exactly like hanging out around where they stole a load of things. Doing that was a bad idea. 

"Cause we need to get some fruit! Else we won't have any provisions at all!" She wasn't really trying to scare the other about scurvy again, but it might get the other to get a wiggle on. She knew of a few places they could swipe a little fruit from, and then they could have their actual adventure. Outside, where it was still nice and warm. 

She shot back up out of the draw - feeling a little heavier thanks to all of her added accessories, but they were necessary. Even more so now that Calli was joining her. If they got caught being, well, bad, then Paii wanted a bigger reward for her effort. Not that Calli was an effort but keeping both of them on task was turning out to be a little more difficult that she'd originally anticipated. 

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

Calli blinked at her explanation - before she understanding lit in her eyes and she hit a fist down onto her palm. The penny had dropped. "Ooooooooooooooh!" she exclaimed. That was what Paii had meant! Her eyes shone when the other Guardian Character said that they could trade them for money - and she jumped up. That sounded way cool! Currency of their own for their own usage! But wait. She stared down at the rings and jewelry in the drawer. When the pirate said that they each get half, did they mean that they had to break these accessories into half...? And take one half each for themselves...? And where did the whole trading money come in? Who were they going to trade to? "Um Paii," she began, a confused look on her face. "When you said half, did you mean we have to...saw these things into two pieces and take one each?" She asked, tilting her head to the side in puzzlement. After all, wouldn't that ruin these pretty little pieces of jewelry? "And where does the money come in...?"

Happy she was with her pin-weapon, she ...before she realised she had no clue how to stash it away properly. Paii had a kind of scabbard right? But...hers wasn't a sword, so it didn't come with its own sheath. "Um..." she looked back at the pirate with a sheepish expression, wondering how to word her question. "Am I...supposed to fly around with this?" She gingerly pointed to the sharp end, an awkward smile on her face. It sounded kind of dangerous when she could be poked through anytime.

But Paii had asked her to do something! "Oh okay!" Dropping the pin onto back onto the table, she soon flew down to the drawer - and stood there pondering. Which ones should she take? The pirate had taken so much already. What else could she contribute? "Hmm..." Ah it didn't matter right? She just had to load herself with everything she could and then they could be off! Grabbing some of the silver and gold jewelry, she draped them around herself like Paii did - though not as much as the pirate's however, as she really couldn't carry all that much - before she flew out of the drawer in triumph. Yay! Now to pick up her pin-sword-weapon and they can be off!

Landing back onto the table, she slowly took her pin - finding harder with all of the accessories weighing her down - but she finally managed and she turned towards the pirate with a bright smile. "Let's go!" Hopefully she wouldn't hurt herself throughout the flight.

[Minji]

The pirate shook her head, she really, really didn't want to be having to explain that sawing them in half would reduce the value of them my a large margin. The pirates hands moved to her hips again. She was a little annoyed, but she'd explain it anyway. Even if it was a bother. "We're not sawing anything." She gestured to the things they'd taken. "Yarrr gonna take half of whay we have and I'm going to take the other half. We're not hurting the jewelry." She shook a chain that was wrapped around her neck. "Like, you take one of these and I'll take the other."

"Money comes in if we need anything. If anybody is selling things, then we trade them." She wiggled her arm, and the ring around it twirled. It probably wasn't the best place to put it, but it was the only place where it would really fit on her little self. 

She stared the other guardian character down for a long moment - her eyes drifting to one of the chains around her own neck and then back to the little makeshift sword in Callis hand. "Wait a second." It would be stupid to just let her carry around a weapon while she was carrying so much stuff. She put some of her stuff down, and took one of Callis chains. "I'm gonna wrap this around your waist and you can fit the pin inside of one of the holes." She did it without pausing and probably invaded Callis personal space a little too much. But after a few moments she'd wrapped the chain tightly around the others waist - and pointed to the hole that Calli could put her pin through. "Temporary, but it'll work."

Paii hoped it would work anyway. The pirate shot the other guardian character a grin before she was up and off the table heading for the door. "Now, lets get the real adventure started!" She had no idea what they were actually going to do. But she'd make something up - or they'd find something interesting, she was sure. 

She threw herself back into the hallway - looking down both sides and satisfied that they were plenty empty she turned on the spot - looking back into the room, they could leave the door open. She didn't think she'd be able to close it with all of her extra stuff hanging off of her. 
Her hands gripped at her own stuff, hoping to keep some of the weight off of her neck. They could leave it in a safer place once they were outside - and they'd just have to go back for it. It would be more difficult to have fun if all the stuff was making them slow. 

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

Understanding lit in Calli's eyes and she clapped her hands together at Paii's explanation. Oooooooh, so that was what she meant by halving them! It didn't mean breaking any of the jewelry in half at all! "I see, I see!!" she gave a great nod. She soon stopped, listening attentively to Paii as the other continued to talk. "Oh! So we just have to find somebody who wants them?" she said, pointing to the accessories pilled all upon on the pirate. "And after that, they give us money in exchange?" Her eyes soon sparkled and she excitedly perked up - remembering a memory where she was with Yasuko. "It's like the time that Yasuko bought books and gave money to the girl at the counter! But I guess we're doing the opposite huh?" She gave a laugh.

She stared blinking as the other approached - before she gave a hearty "Okay!" to the pirate's suggestion. She would throw a hand up into the air just to show how much she agreed, but she was bogged down by too much jewelry. She watched as the other took off one of the chains from her, and started to wrap it around her. "Ah um-" the brunette fairy gave an awkward laugh; the pirate was a little too close for comfort. Sure, Calli gave hugs and tackled Paii down sometimes, but this...wasn't quite the same thing. The pirate didn't stop however, so all the sprite did was stand stiffened where she was until Paii was done. But when the Guardian Character finally pulled away and pointed to the chain around her waist, Calli couldn't help but squeal in delight. Her own little sword belt! Made of chains! "Thanks Paii!" she said, before she let the pin drop into the hole. The green ball caught at the sides of the chain and Calli wiggled about, to see if it would fall out from the makeshift belt. It didn't! Her eyes shone and she looked back at Paii with awe. That was so innovative!

"Okay!" the brunette fairy cried again, though she was unable to throw her hands up in excitement. Leaping up into the air - and wobbling slightly; she hadn't realised how heavy these things really were - before she followed after Paii. "Where are we going next Paii?" The pirate mentioned something about provisions right? But wait...could they fly with so much stuff on them? "Are we going to take all of this with us?" Calli asked, shaking one of the chains in her hand as if to accentuate a point.

[Minji]

"Yeah. Like that." In the end, they wouldn't end up trading anything she was sure. She had no plans on trading the jewelry for anything, considering they were actually just stealing it. So she turned her attention away from that subject completely and continued down the hallway. There was another door she was looking for now. There were plenty of places that had fruit. She knew of one or two room in particular that she knew of. The doors tended to not be locked. That she knew anyway. "Anyway - this way, we're gonna get some fruit." That they weren't going to trade for at all. 

Paii hadn't really thought about the fact that Calli wouldn't be able to carry the stuff very well. So she stopped. "Oh." She hmmed to herself for a second first - and let her self move back down the hall a little. "Lets take this stuff back to the dorm room for now?" That way they could be out of the way and Paii would be able to get them later and hide them. She'd probably have to pretend she'd lost them later, but for now that was an okay plan. 
The pirate without actually waiting for Calli to respond was off down the hallway and moved straight to wards the dorm room. "We can put them back into my secret drawer and then go out for our real adventure." She moved as quickly as she could, and found herself back at the door. It was a lot easier to press down the handle with so much added weight. Actually opening the door properly would probably cause a few more problems. 

"If we need to trade anything - we can just fly back through the window." Which was still open because Paii had not closed it behind her. If their adventure was to be outside it would be far easier to come in that way anyway than to fly all the way through the building and open the door again and again. Not that they'd actually be coming back to trade for anything in the end. 
She wasn't sure if Calli had even followed her back down the hall - so there was a high chance that she was talking to herself. But the pirate didn't really care all that much. She assumed that in the end her plans would actually be clear enough even without her words. It would be obvious. 

"Then we can go get actually snacks and 'provisions'" She fist pumped the air. Getting excited about their adventured again. It was gonna be a load of fun once they got outside!

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

"Okay!" the brunette fairy chimed in agreement, before following after the pirate as best as she could. Wow, Paii could really travel fast, even with all of this jewelry! She tried her best to keep up - but she hadn't carried so much stuff before. And she had nearly tripped a few times, on the dangling chains and bracelets waving about. In fact, she was concentrating so hard to make sure she didn't drop anything that she nearly bumped into the pirate when the other stopped.

She paused where she was, tilting her head a little in query. "Oh okay!" she soon quipped, before attempting to follow after the pirate Guardian Character again. Man she was really fast. How could she be so quick on her feet despite all these things weighing her down? Maybe she was used to it or something? She should totally ask yes! She looked up again; but Paii was already so far away. Oh man. "Paiiiiiiiiiii!" she whined, doing her best to go after the Guardian Character as fast as she could.

She huffed and puffed - ah the pirate was already opening the door to their room! - before she finally caught up at the dorm entrance. Goddamn, she was so tired. But! She had to push on! Paii was already at the desk! With one final leap, she flew straight over to Minji's desk - before collapsing onto the surface of the table, the jewelry clinking as it fell over. Man, she didn't think it was this hard! She couldn't help but lie down there, panting as she did so.

"O-okay!" She pumped a fist into the air too, but it was clear it wasn't very enthusiastic. But she couldn't be tired now! They had so much more adventure ahead! Pulling herself upwards so that she was sitting up instead of being sprawled on her back, she turned back around to look at the pirate. "What are we going to do with the jewelry again? You said a...drawer?" She tilted her head as she did so, a frown of uncertainty on her face.

[Minji]

Paii couldn't stop the snort as Calli fell flat out - it wasn't unexpected. She'd not been able to carry as much as Calli had the first time she'd gone out to steal a load of stuff. She was actually a little proud of the other fairy. She'd done really well. Also she hadn't figured out the real, real plan so that was added good news. The pirate wasn't sure if Calli was the type to actually need to be praised aloud - Paii knew she was one of those, so the words came out of her mouth without too much difficulty. "Arrr - Yar did really well!" She hadn't asked for it, like Paii would have done, but she did it anyway.

"But yes! The drawer!" She was sure she'd shown the other Guardian Character her little secret part of Minji's drawer before. The first time they'd met - no, yeah. The pirate definitely remembered that and she wasn't making it up. But before that. "You can take the stuff off now - apart from your belt thing." It was clear that the other fairy was having some difficulties, but she'd be fine once she was free of all the shiny metal. 

Paii shucked off her own load before she pulled open the drawer - she was getting a little tired too it seemed. It took way more effort than normal to pry the thing open than it normally would. But she supposed it was to be expected they'd brought back a lot more than she'd been prepared for. Not that she was complaining. It was a great haul.

"I showed you before." Paii was rolling her eyes but ducking down into the draw she was sure that the brunette fairy wouldn't see her do that. She landed on the mostly empty wood - and had to crouch. Her little bit was still hidden deep in the back - where she knew Minji didn't often look, unless she'd dropped something in there and it had rolled all the way to the back. "My secret compartment! Where nobody will be able to steal our stuff!" 

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

Calli blinked a little at the other; before she giggled a little. She did well! Paii was praising her! She gave a big grin back. She was happy she could be of help! Or something! Paii was teaching her all the pirate ways and she was finding it do much fun! Even if she got a...little tired, but no matter! "Okay!" she quipped at the other's suggestion, before she let the jewelry fall from her hands. After one last shake of the leg to get rid of a loop of a gold chain, she turned back towards the pirate.

Watching as the other pulled open the drawer, she too dropped into it, her belt clinking against the pin as she did so. The brunette fairy blinked as she followed the other slowly into the deep sections of the compartment. She didn't expect it to be as empty as it was (Yasuko's was often filled to the brim with stationary and notebooks and small bits and pieces neatly arranged somewhere) - now she had to wonder if Minji most kept everything outside and not inside her own desk drawers.

Following Paii, she too crouched down - and her eyes shone at the pirate's words. "A secret compartment!" she cried squealing - and in her excitement, she jumped up; and hit her head on top of the drawer with a THUMP. "Ow!" she cried, dropping back down onto her knees as soon as she could. She should really pay attention to what was happening around her honestly. Blinking the stars away from her eyes, she peered at the secret area that Paii was leading her to. What was inside?

[Minji]

Paii snickered a little as Calli knocked her head. It was a little mean for sure - but it was also pretty funny. She'd ducked for a reason and she'd been sure that the other Guardian Character would have noticed that. She rolled her eyes slightly - and continued down to the end of the draw. She kept her head down - even though she was still laughing to herself a little. Callo really was just silly. And questioned so many things. Which was fine, but also very, very annoying.

The little Pirate had never questioned the fact that the draw was empty before - it just was. Little did she know Minji left it that way for a reason. The girl kept all of her good stuff. Her school stuff, locked away inside of the other draws of the desk. It was annoying - and Paii had never managed to unlock it before. She just wanted to play with all the pretty tape she kept hidden in there!

She sunk down onto her knees at the back - picking at a certain part. The wood lifted away with ease. It was well used but at opening it, nothing else was hidden inside. The pirate posed slightly and made it very obvious just where she was looking. It wasn't a huge opening, she couldn't have Minji finding out about it after all!

"Secret compartment!" She was excited as well. "You can't tell anybody about it! Okay?!" Maybe Encore at some point - if she ever came down to their dorm room, but not for the moment. Her little hide-y hole needed to stay as secret as it could for as long as possible. 

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

Her hand was on her head, massaging the pain away, before she slowly began to crawl once again after Paii. She pouted a little at the pirate's laugh, a little whine escaping her lips, but she could get that it was kind of funny. Kind of. But right now there was something far more important at hand to explore!

She nearly bumped into the pirate when Paii had stopped - and with a questioning look, she tried to peek over the other's shoulders to see what she was doing. Where was the secret compartment anyway? But soon she saw the pirate pulling the wood away; and she couldn't help the gasp that escaped from her mouth. Whoaaaaaa that was soooooooooo cool! "That was awesome!" she said, her eyes wide and sparkling, before she tried to scoot over to take a good look inside.

"Okay! I won't tell a soul!" She was good at keeping secrets! Or so she like to think. In her excitement, she nearly threw a hand into the air, but had stopped herself in time. Wouldn't do good to hurt her hand too now huh? "Does this mean we're putting all the jewelry into here?" she asked as she stared back down at the secret compartment. Blinking, she looked back at Paii. "Can we fit everything in here?" Actually how big was this compartment anyway?

[Minji]

Paii turned her head slightly - offering Calli a grin. "Right?!" She loved her little secret. She was totally unaware of the fact that there was very little secret about it - Minji had emptied the little pocket often enough to return what the little pirate had stolen. But said pirate was mostly unaware of what she took most of the time she hadn't really noticed anything. 
Either way she was glad that Calli knew of it now. It meant that there was somebody else around if somebody tried to break in to take all of her pretty shiny things! The more eyes the better!

The pirate nodded a few times fast at Callis response. She was glad that the other fairy was up to keeping it a secret. It would just be awful if too many other people found out about her little hiding space. None of her stuff would be safe anymore! Not that it was really her stuff in the first place - but still! It was better the fewer people who knew about it.
"Yeah though - our stuff it going here!" She grinned widely before she started to move backwards and out of the draw. It was easy to pull the stuff closer to the edge of the desk. "If it doesn't we'll just put it with it! Minji never uses this draw anyhow!" 

The pirate would wait there until the other would join her. It would be easier for the brunette to just drop the things in and Paii make her way back and forth to grab it - Calli had hurt her head after all and while it had been funny she didn't really think it would be a good idea to keep sending her back and forth. "If you stay here and drop things in for me!"
