[Ichiryu Midora]

Ichiryu felt he had no fears at least none he knew of so he decided to go on this little turtle ride to a supposedly haunted mansion. It was going to be fun he was sure of it. He hopped onto the back of the turtle and sat cross legged awaiting to see who else would show up. He was sure it would be fun, even if it was run by Javier who seemed to hate him.

He sat and waited aboard the back of the large turtle. He was sure someone else would turn up.

[GEKIGAMI]

I had heard about a fair being hosted by a strong pirate crew, venturing all the way from Skypiea I expected to have my fair share of fun. Upon entering the damned place, the first thing that caught my eyes was a hay ride! It reminded me so much of my childhood that I just had to get on it. Upon looking into the carriage, I noticed a person already sitting inside the cart. "Hello there!." I greeted him, before taking my seat inside the hay filled carriage. Nostalgia just hit me, remembering how I used to take my ex-girlfriends on these things, man time flew by way too fast sometimes. All of this thinking caused me to get happy, then sad, and a rollercoaster of emotions until I cleared my head and thought of my future instead of my past.

"I'm Gekigami! What's your name?" I introduced myself, in a attempt to get myself from thinking about my past. Hopefully this guy that was sitting across from me wasn't anti-social. "Actually..." I said, standing up, and moving to the corner of the hay filled carriage sitting next to the edge of the carriage. It was the equivalent of riding next to a window, except in a carriage that didn't have windows. "Yeah... I really do like sitting on the edge." I flashed the unknown man a smile, hoping he'd continue our conversation, I didn't want to be bored forever. But I guaranteed people would flock over this hayride quickly.

[Luciano]

It was a beautiful night out at the Behemoth Fair, and Luciano, clad in his black suit and trench coat, was ready for some more relaxing activities. He wasn't much interested in getting in a carriage with other people, most found it uncomfortable to be around him for long periods of time. However, they would just have to deal with it tonight. Making sure his knives were safely holstered at his hips, Luciano went off to the Behemoth Turtle, ready to enjoy his haunted ride with a bunch of no good pirates. It was a good thing he didn't take any money with him to these things, instead leaving it with his very able bodyguards. He saw 2 people already loaded into the hay ride, and they were talking a bit. Or so it seemed. Luciano climbed in next to them and sat silently for a bit before flashing his pointy teeth in a smile at the two of them. "Good night for a ride is it not?"

[Bishamon Jarret]

One of the sole attractions here that caught his eye was the hay ride. Who knew why, but for some reason he was interested in it. Bishamon would make sure to find his way there. Besides, whatever frightening thing was thrown at them, would find itself frozen in terror itself, literally. The ninja found his way to the turtle that carried them, three other people already there. Without word, he would nod to them before hopping on, standing up in the back, his arms now crossed.

The silent ninja was prepared, his nerves steeled, his mind focused. He was taking it way too seriously, but that was just how he was. Considering the fact that every time he turned around, he was walking into a yonkou or an admiral, it would be hard not to be serious.

"Bring it on"

[ZERO STONE]

Ever since reaching the famed area known by every person in the world, no matter what side or race they were they had at least little information about the big event that had occurred in this city involving the legendary Pirate King and his execution. The story always gave him that sudden rush for excitement, a man like that's presence still roamed around within the souls of true pirates.

What brought him here was to pay the respects for his late grandmother who taught him the true path of a man, one filled with righteous future ahead for the Pirate Captain. Distracted by the sudden yelling apparently from a special fair. Interested, the fighting king ran hastily towards the gate to notice a few sitting on a turtle large enough to fit one more. His thirst for adventure and thrill needed to get quenched, this was a way.

With a quick leap from where he formerly stood to on top of the turtle in a crouched position so he was eye-level with the others that sat on the turtle. It continued to move in its slow pace as he greeted the others with a half heartily smile.

It was a curious emotion, one that was heavily despised by those of the Pendragon’s homeland Elbaf. Humans and various other species have said that it was a healthy emotion to have in the right doses, but the general consensus was that it was an unpleasant emotion to have. From his few dealings with that particular feeling, he would definitely have to concur to their analysis. This was why he was so intrigued that the humans apparently built something that induced this fear reaction even though they knew that they didn’t like it. Was there something enjoyable in fearing that he didn’t know about, or was that something that was restricted to the other races and didn’t apply to his own? He just simply had to find out. However, he was well aware that the entirety of the town was rife with pirates and other forms of lowly criminal scum, so he had to take care to remove any and all indications of his marine status as he visited Loguetown. That was why he was walking to the enormous Behemoth Turtle in a plain black t-shirt over a thick brown leather jacket along with loose white pants and boots. Of course, he was still wearing his bandana on his head to ensure that his hair won’t get in the way of his vision. All of his weapons were still with him, including his new sword wrapped in thick bandages to ensure that none of the seastone blade would touch his skin for any reason even though it was attached to his back. He knew that he looked rather conspicuous with his weapons, but since this was a pirate gathering he was pretty sure he would just pass off as just another weapon-happy pirate. Five people are already here…. The giant mentally remarked as his eyes looked at each of the people there with a piercing gaze. A bounty hunter, some pirates, and what looks to be a shady civilian. Interesting. The white haired giant gave the rest of them a nod before climbing up on the turtle, completely silent otherwise. He had no desire to socialize with the enemy. All he really wanted to do was to see this ride through… hopefully without any incidents that might force him to reveal all of his cards and blow his cover. ” [/style][style=text-align:right; font-family:arial narrow; font-size:11px; text-transform:uppercase; opacity:0.8; color:black; line-height:9px;]fade away, fade away we'll die in the shadows light isn't worth living [/style]

[JAVIER SANTANA]

As soon as they all hopped atop the giant turtle, big enough to even carry the Giant, it started off through the woods. As they entered, the surroundings darkened, with the light from the town fading into oblivion and a mysterious cloud blocking the moons light.

Slowly, in the distance, a small, blood curling scream could be heard, following by the sound of a line being...perhaps reeled in?

"Ooooooh noooooo, Javi don't make me into turtle soup!"

You could hear the poor imitation of a girly, wimpy voice being yelled out from the surrounding darkness as a poorly drawn and crafted Kai, a giant turtle itself, was flown over their heads at a strong speed. Following the trend, another paper drawing of Javier as a stick figure flew by chasing Kai.

"I'mma kill you foo'!"

While it could be found humorous, a sudden glint of steel could be seen far down the road, a cloaked visitor in the pathway, two yellow eyes glowing from the hood. Stepping back, it faded into the darkness, and quickly disappeared. The ride would be short, as the mansion was already coming into view.

It was a haunted white mansion, extremely nice in appearance, but holding an aura of mysterious spookiness.

[Ichiryu Midora]

"Name's Ichiryu Midora buddy." he replied with a grin as the man went over and sat on the edge. "Life on the edge is certainly fun." He glanced over at the other people. The one who caught his eye most was of course the giant. The size was just insane and triggered a question in his mind that was perhaps in bad taste. "How's the weather up there buddy?" It was not meant as a bad joke. He was actually serious. "Always wondered whether its different for giants cause of being higher up."

"Tis a great night. Lots of fun." he said to the man in the trench coat. However, his attention was distracted by the paper cut out of Kai, which for some reason annoyed Ichiryu. It was like some inner part of his soul was being poked fun at. He dismissed the feeling. probably just a side effect of his insanity. "Anyone ever tried turtle soup? Heard its gross." Despite his annoyance he did find it quite hilarious.

The eyes however did send a shiver down his spine and his gun gripped his gun just incase. However, he relaxed a bit when it faded and the manor came into view. It was truly beautiful and truly did look quite mysterious in his eyes. "Wow. What a house." He looked at the mansion then at the giant then back again. This was repeated several times. "If its big enough for you to fit then these Behemoth guys must be RICH." He knew they were a yonkou crew and knew they had some fortune. But to have a mansion big enough for giants to fit was really impressive.

[GEKIGAMI]

"Couldn't agree more!" I said in reply to the man in the trench coat, as the turtle became full of individuals that were ready to venture to the mansion, I looked each and every one of them up and down. Many different types of people came by, fishmen, humans, and giants alike, I honestly wasn't surprised at the least, and I couldn't believe it when that man asked how the weather was up there, how childish. I waited for the turtle to begin to move, there was no more room up here, and I didn't want to be crowded up with no space to move my legs, my balls needed some space to breathe.

I sighed, as the turtle began to move I noticed just how slow this creature was going. "I hope this doesn't take forever." I muttered to myself, I wasn't really interested in saying anything for the rest of the ride really. Looking all around like a frantic child, I noticed a cut out of something fly by, and by the look of it, I wasn't the only one. I gently put my left hand on the hilt of my sword in the case I'd need to use it, but after awhile the cut out just disappeared. Just as soon as I was going to complain about how long this was taking, my left eye widened as it caught a glimpse of the mansion we were going to. It was huge, but it did give off a weird aura about itself.

I really hoped this little adventure would be fun, I didn't want to waste my time and get nothing out of this, y'know? So I just waited until we arrived, observing everyone's movements and gestures until the turtle stopped and we needed to get off.

All just people joining together for a quick ride to a haunted house. Not that such a thing really existed. Only children believed in ghosts, ghouls, and monsters. Luciano was smarter than that. To think that such a notion could even come close to frightening him was almost as ridiculous as a giant fitting on the turtle that was to take them to the location. Speaking of giant. Holy hell there was a freaking giant on the turtle! It had taken Luciano a moment to realize it, but as soon as he did he was unable to take his eyes off the thing. It wasn't everyday that he could see a real giant, and the sight had him in awe. The sword he carried was gigantic, and Luciano thought about having one made just to hang on the wall of his Casino for a night or two. He would have to talk to the giant later about a mutually beneficial job offer. As he managed to take his eyes away from the sideshow opportunity, Luciano noticed the paper cut outs flying over head. The childish display seemed like something these sponsors could of done much better if they were willing to spend the money. What kind of haunted trip was this that all they would see so far is a paper turtle and man running along a string. Shaking his head, he turned his gaze back to the trail in time to see the shadowy figure disappear from sight. What a lovely little shock for everyone, but it wasn't even close to what Luciano would come up with for his haunted casino. Ideas were flowing all the time up there in his head, for instance one of these turtles would be nice to have stuffed and hung up over the ceiling for a special event. The castle coming into view though was more than Luciano could afford. It would have to be to fit the giant in. Then again, how would they know it was coming? A little question of no consequence really, but it looked like the fun was about to finally begin. The prospect got him so excited that he pulled out his knife and started running his finger along the blade. Maybe the chance would come up for some action pretty soon, wouldn't that just be wonderful? He could tell a couple people were on edge, and that would make them prime targets for the sponsors. All he could say is, "This better be damn good." [/style]

[Bishamon Jarret]

The whole humor thing Javier did simply made BJ shake his head. It was funny, but not enough to make him want to roll. Instead, what had him most on edge was a mother fucking GIANT. Good grief, could he even go on this ride? The poor thing they rode on would have to have been massively strong to handle the beastly man. It made BJ wonder just what kind of mystery could be great than him.

Whatever the case was, his attention moved ahead. The ride had began and headed forward. BJ happened to catch the site of glowing yellow eyes. His own eyes narrowed. Any mofo that scared him would need to be thawed out. Either way, it soon disappeared. The mansion was coming into view, and their destination was such it seemed. He could only wait to see what was in store for the group.

Honestly, BJ was excited. This was the first time he had been around such a wide array of beings in one area. It made him feel competitive and lively. He was ready to go.

After all, giants weren’t common in the Blues as most made their home and living on the Grand Line. Only legends of their species usually made it to the Blues with even sporadic frequency. Still, he was very much used to the stares by now, especially since his superior has a fondness for patrolling in the Blues instead of the Grand Line where all the action is. ”About as well as the weather down there, Midora.” The giant deadpanned in response while keeping his eyes on the road. He didn’t bother to give his name as human etiquette would dictate, because hello, he was undercover in the fair. There was bound to be someone –probably that bounty hunter- who would recognize his name, so he had to keep it on the down low just in case. He stopped paying attention to everyone else when he saw the paper cut-out show that drifted past them. He had to use all of his self-control in order for his face not to darken at the sight of one of the reminder of one of the marines’ deaths –albeit temporary- at the hands of Javier Santana. Unfortunately though, he didn’t have the time to dwell on it as his eyes caught the glint of steel and a pair of sinisterly glowing orbs yellower than his own staring at them. What the hell? The marine thought in alarm, his cynicism kicking in at the sight of an armed man near the ride. Before he could call attention to the thing in the shadows though, it vanished from where it came from, leaving him frustrated and paranoid. The giant didn’t have the time to dwell on those thoughts though, as the ride soon ended. Dismounting gracefully off of the turtle, the giant took the time to observe the beautiful yet chilling mansion before them. ”Of course. As expected from a Yonkou.” Was the only reply he bothered to give as he stared at the mansion in what he thought was well-deserved apprehension. ” [/style][style=text-align:right; font-family:arial narrow; font-size:11px; text-transform:uppercase; opacity:0.8; color:black; line-height:9px;]fade away, fade away we'll die in the shadows light isn't worth living [/style]

[JAVIER SANTANA]

As they approached the Mansion, they would see a large gate with two gargoyle statues perched at the top of each side, as if to watch guard over the dangers inside the forest. The gates would open, with no one appearing to have actually opened them.

Once they unloaded and entered the Mansion through two large black doors, a large white interior would be seen, with vacant armor of knights lining the walls, halberds in hand. A red carpet would lead from the doorway to another large door which led into the dining room; to each side of the doorway would be two spiral stair cases, leading to a balcony that overlooked the large main entrance. Behind him was a door which led into an office, and standing on the Balcony, surveying the guest, would be Javier Santana, awaiting for them all to get settled in the room.

[Ichiryu Midora]

The place was quite magnificent if not really his style. He flexed his hand and looked about the room. Truly a sense of grandeur, but it seemed a bit too showy for his liking. Magnificent, but showy. It had no real subtleness to it. He lent against a wall casually looking about the room. His sharp eyes spotted the man on the balcony.

"Howdy there." he called up with a grin. "You the host of this little shindig?" He pulled out his gun and twirled it about whilst he was waiting for his answer. It was how he often entertained himself, twirling about his gun, catching it. He looked at the man again a memory stirring in his mind. After a few moments he nodded. "I know who y'are. Your the guy from Thriller Bark. Long time no see buddy." He remembered this guy hadn't liked him much, but that was in the past. Ichiryu had more reason to be cocky about his skills then ever, but he had mellowed out through training with the storm riders.
