A large city with Horseshoe harbor as its main attraction and a big tourist spot. Also the city of love apparently.

The train approached near Baltimare and the Crusaders were still enthralled by Usopp's stories. Even Trixie seemed to take a liking to them.

Applebloom and Sweetie were still drawn into the stories Usopp was telling. "Looks like we'll be getting there soon." cheerilee said looking out the window, "You'll be able to take us to your boat from the train, right?" She asked Usopp in the middle of his story.

"... and the sea monster was so confused by my riddles that he left without destroying the village." He finished and then turned to Cheerilee. "Yes, it should still be where I left it. It's maintained by the Guild, because of the time I spent with them I still get a few perks. And they're usually very 'by the book' when it comes to things like that." "I want to see a giant bird!" Scootaloo told the other crusaders now that their was an intermission. "I want to see giant goldfish poop!" Ripple said. "Ew!" Scootaloo laughed.

"Well I want to ride the giant bird and capture the giant goldfish so they can defend ponyville from the sea monster." Applebloom said sticking her hoof in the air heroicly. Bot her and Sweetie lauged. Then they heard about the boat. "So is your boat really REALLY BIG" Sweetie said flailing her arms for added effect.

"It's not the biggest boat." Usopp told them, for once honest. "I've traveled in a boat ten times bigger with my nakama. But this one has enough room for nine people to live on." "What's nakama?" Scootaloo asked. "It means comrades, best friends, so close that we are like family. Like how you four are." He explained. "So we are nakama?" Ripple asked and Usopp nodded at her.

Sweetie cheered "NAKAMA!" and gave Applebloom a tackle hug which pushed her into Scootaloo and Ripple and all four of themm flew off the seat and were sent rolling down the cart at the Train came to a stop. Sweetie and Applebloom laughing all the while, at least. Cheerilee jumped across all the seats and managed to reach the wall they were headed tobefore them to stop from from smashing into it. "Come on girls, no rough-housing on the train. Somepony could get hurt."

"Yes Miss Cheerilee!" Scootaloo and Ripple answered also still laughing with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. "Well, let's get to your boat Usopp." Bio said standing up. "You have interesting way of talking about your adventures." Trixie told Usopp as she passed him. "Trixie wish she could tell stories that would mesmerize ponies like that, rather than upset them." "It's not that hard really." Usopp said following. "You just need to do it for the right reasons and believe in why you're doing it."

Cheerilee helped the girls up and they all got off the train, "Lead the way, Captain Usopp." She said without a hint of sarcasm if not a tinge of irony.

Usopp led them to the harbor where a ship was waiting that looked exactly like the Going Merry. "I present to you the Going Merry 2!" Usopp said proudly. "This ship can handle anything the sea can throw at us. I'm going to quickly arrange some supplies for the trip. It shouldn't take more than an hour or two to get everything loaded." He said and walked off. "It certainly is something." Trixie said looking at it wide eyed. "Awesome! It looks like a ram!" Scootaloo cried out. "And I can see a cannon on it!" Ripple exclaimed.

"It's so big." Sweetie complimented. "And his real ship is ten times bigger." Applebloom exclaimed. "Oh, dear." Cheerilee said at the mention of the word cannon. "Now girls. You know not to touch any weapons that might be found on the ship, right?" She asked them just to make sure they understood. "Bio, you'll need to keep an eye on them as well. I don't think his ship is foal friendly." "yes, Miss Cheerilee." Sweetie and Applebloom said together.

"Don't worry Miss Cheerilee." Bio laughed. "I've spend some time on this ship and you soon learn to tie cannonballs down in the hold even when sailing with grown men. It's really sturdy, has a good kitchen and there's a room for you, Trixie and the fillies, while Usopp and I can use the bunks. We can go over a few safety rules before we go if you want." Ripple and Scootaloo mimicked the other Crusaders. "Aw! I really wanted to see them fire the cannon." Ripple said disappointed.

"Are there life jackets and a life boat? Deep ocean isn't the same as a pool or the beach." She asked just to cover her bases.
"I bet you I have great aim." Applebloom said putting a hoof to her chest with pride, "I might just get a marksmare cutie mark if we have to fight a giant sea monster." "Yeah, suuuurre." Sweetie said sarcasticly.

"There's no life boat, but there are life jackets." Bio told her.
"I could load the cannonball!" Scootaloo said. "And I could light it!" Ripple added. "Sweetie can, uh...? Distract the sea monster!" Scootaloo told her.

Sweetie just wore an unammused look, "I don't know. Scootaloo's faster then me so maybe she sould be the distraction. The sea monster shouldn't be able to catch you." She said throwing a look at her. "Besides, Bio's probably the only one strong enough to life the cannon ball into the cannon. We should get him to load it."
"Well. I guess that's ok." Cheerilee said looking at the boat again.

"Don't worry Cheerilee, if there's one thing that Usopp is, it's that he's a good sailor. he'll get us there safely." Bio assured her.
"Well, alright." Scootaloo said thinking about it. "But you're still going to have to help me and call it over with a song, like a Siren."

"Ok, I'll take your word for that. Though, he isn' exactly in top phisical condition." Cheerilee remembered that he was still in bandages when they left for the train.
"Arn't sirens those monsters that lure sailors to their watery graves? I'm not a monster." Sweetie said, "But I don't mind luring a sea monster to it's watery grave." She added tapping her hooves together with a devious smile.

"That's true." Bio said with a nervous smile. "But that usually doesn't stop him either."
"I didn't mean your a monster." Scootaloo said. "But sirens are suppose to be cute, right?"

Well duh, other then their voice how else do you think Sirens saduce their targets?" Sweetie said squinting her eyes and elbowing Scootaloo. Applebloom just watched as they went back and forth. Cheerilee was also watching the girls talk idly about the intricasies of sirens and sea monsters.
OOC: Think we can skip ahead.... OH MY CELESTIA I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING... WE FORGOT PIP !!! (literally, I was typing something else when I remembered to that's a real time thought there.)

ooc: Oops. Well, Raider did say he should follow Bio around. Maybe in a failed attempt he got locked in a bag and hitched a ride on the train like that. "What's seduce?" Ripple asked. "Everything has been arranged." Usopp said joining back with the gang. "They'll start loading the ship any moment now."

OOC: No, I tokld Raider and he said he'll work with this so Pip will stay in ponyville and "do something epic" I wonder if I should be worried, I think Pip is younger then the CMC. BIC: Cheerilee jumped in before anypony could answer Ripples question. "Hey look girls, Usopps back. Have him give you a tour of the ship." She said pushing them all in front of him. "They'll need to know what they can and can't touch." Cheerilee told him as he walked up.

ooc: Yes, he is much younger. In Luna Eclipsed he says it's his first Nightmare Night ever. Of course this does not necessarily mean that he is one year old, but only that this is the first Nightmare Night he was old enough to attend.
"Alright" Usopp said and stood at the bottom of the gangplank pointing up to the ship dramatically. "It's time for the Great Usopp's Extreme Ship Tour! Let's go!" He shouted and ran up the plank. "Yay!" Scootaloo and Ripple called out and ran up behind him. "If it's alright Trixie would like to join the tour." Trixie asked a little unsure. "Of course Trixie." Bio told her. "Go ahead."

With Sweetie and Applebloom running after Usopp as well and Trixie going with them Cheerilee turned to Bio, "So you've been to this island before or something? You sounded like you know of it."

"I've never been there myself." Bio told her. "But it's pretty famous in the guild for how boring it is. If some adventurer fell off a boat for no reason chances are that he'll wash up on that island. If one falls off an airship, he would land on that island. If they got send flying by an explosion, they'd hit that island. If they got accidentally teleported, they get teleported to that island. So many Guild members have ended up there, but while they wait to be rescued it is the most boring time in their lives. If there were monsters, the monsters would be too easy to beat, if they found a dungeon it would aimlessly travel around in circles with no treasure to be found. You could say it's sort of an urban legend in the Guild."

"Quite the urban legend. Seems non guild members follow the same rule when ending up on the island." Cheerilee said rolling her eyes, "Well, we should check out the ship. You sounded like you've been on it before so maybe you should show me around?"

Post by Bio Plus on Jul 27, 2013 1:40:31 GMT -5
"Well, it's not exclusively Guild members who end up on it." Bio told her. "But it's only them that make such a big fuss out of it. Sure, let me show you the kitchen first." Bio said leading the way.

Cheerilee followed Bio to the kitchen area. "Other then me who else knows how to cook?" She asked looking around at all the tools.

"I heard Trixie is a pretty good cook." Bio told her. "And Usopp can at least throw something together we can survive on. Next I'll show you the rooms."

"Should be a good trip then by foods standards then. We want to make sure we get full meals for everyone. Escpecially the girls who are still growing up." She said following Bio to the would be sleeping quarters.

Bio showed her the room where he and Usopp would be sleeping filled with hammocks and the room for Trixie and Cheerilee with two beds. "We'll put up some hammocks for the girls in here, I know they'll enjoy using them more." He told Cheerilee.
