Cave of Wonders? [Closed]

[mrcrazycakes]

Ohhhhh, they were playing pirates... or something like that. Wakka's 'stowaway' statement had been a surprise, but he responded quickly with a look of mock fear at having been discovered. He just had to wonder if they'd been there before. "Please, don't throw me overboard, Captain Tidus! I only followed seeking adventure!" Sora said back, using a timid tone that fit the part he'd ended up playing.

((Sorry for making you guys wait so long)

"I'll keep an eye on this one, Captain," Wakka offered, clapping his right hand down onto Sora's shoulder and then "steering" the younger kid forward as he walked. "Show us the way and I'll make sure he's the first to test for traps."

It was a bit of a surprise that Sora came along today. Wakka had started to think of Dark isle as a sort of special place between just him, Tidus and Selphie. But, with another close friend here, he realized it only made things more enjoyable. Silly of him to think that they should keep things like this only for themselves, but Sora had a way of proving you wrong about things like that.

"We'll have him swearing loyalty to you crew in no time, ya?"

If we find some beast or something...he could be the bait while we get off the island!" she suggested playfully, but couldn't help but burst into laughter. Of course there wouldn't be any sort of monster (well she hoped!). It was just fun to play along every once in awhile.

She straightened herself out and pointed in the direction of the Dark Isle, "Aye! Captain, the isle be over there." she said to Tidus, navigating them in the right direction. No one could mistake the island though, it was usually darker than the other islands and usually stood out.

She then looked towards Wakka, "Eh? But, shall be his role? Deck cleaner?" with that she couldn't think of anything else. They already had a captain, and a navigator.

"Yes well, let him be the Cabin boy." Tidus decided with a grin, before he set his sights on Dark Isle once more. It would be quite a bit of rowing, but the teens were building their strength with each expedition. New adventure awaited and now they'd switch from pirates to detectives as they docked on Dark Isle.

"We'll need to be very alert during this quest. We've got a mystery on our hands and I intend to solve it!" Captain Tidus declared to his crew, well more like Chief Detective Tidus heheheh.

"Selphie, if you'd please." he'd say as he made sure his boat was docked properly and with a brief side-step, he motioned for Selphie to take lead, doing her navigating duties so they could get to the footprints safely.

"Don't forget to keep an eye on our stow-away Cabin boy/Junior Detective, Wakka!" Tidus added, as they'd assume their formation with Sora adding to the mix. Yep, the sandy blond was enjoying his...up-showing of Sora for today. Though he'd still have to work hard to keep pace. Sora was no doubt training just as hard as he was...

Wakka used a palm pressed flat against the boy's back to guide Sora into walking just ahead of himself during their little strolled before releasing the younger man to walk on his own.

'"Tell us, cabin boy, have you ever investigated this island before? What do you know about it?" I 'questioned the prisoner'. Sora was adventurous but I doubted he'd ever come here before without having told any of the rest of us about it. he was also a but of a loudmouth, after all.

Just a bit.

[Just changing the turn order a bit to give Sora something to do as our "guest".]

"Uh... I might have been here one time, but I don't remember anything about it. I think it was too late to do anything," Sora replied, scratching the back of his head. It could just as easily have been another island, so he had no idea of anything to do with this one.

Selphie stared at the map after they docked their bots. She took notice of the marks and things she had made when they had been on the isle previous times. She looked up to decide where she was then she pointed to the right some, "The cave that leads to the beach should be in that direction!" she pointed out. She looked at the map again to make sure she was right.

She then started in the general direction she had pointed, using the map as a guide. She looked down at it for a brief second and then back up at their landscape, judging the distance and other things navigators did. She then looked behind to make sure the trio were following.

Of course Detective Tidus fell in line and followed his trusty navigator/assistant detective. He paid attention to Sora's response also, before a smirk was seen on his face.
"Hmm, I'm not so sure you've been to this island then. This is Dark Isle, you know the ones the kids rumoured about before Summer Vacation. A lot of the guys said there was no way to even get here and if you could, most never bothered to even explore it." the Captain explained as he marched along.

"Of course I picked up on the rumours and suggested it to my crew. An unexplored island? That's even more fun than when we found our small playground of an island. Problem is...there was some footprints along the beach of this island, despite the fact that there was a boulder blocking the entranceway to the cave that lead to the other side. You've got to see the shoreline too, it'd be super hard if not impossible to paddle to that side, so...how'd it happen?"

Tidus' eye had that spark in it, a mystery was in the air and the cabin boy was up to date on their current quest. Of course, no sooner would they arrive at the cave in question. Tidus would walk over to show Sora the boulder in question and how it was blocked, but before he could say "I told you so", the group would notice the fresh prints in the sand leading right from the cave entrance outwards.

"I don't believe it..." Tidus practically croaked.

"Arr, Captain. These tracks be new!" Wakka said in a poor imitation of a fantasy pirate accent. Sure he was stating the obvious, but even he liked to play around and be a kid as much as they did. Though to be honest he wasn't sur eif he was supposed to be playing a pirate or a detective anymore at the moment.

The redhead eyed the direction of the footsteps and clapped a hand down on Sora's shoulder again from behind. "Let's see if they match your size, then we'll know if you were the one snooping around," Wakka said to the spiky-haired cabin boy/junior detective. He knew they weren't really his, of course, but Sora had fairly... 'noticeable' footprints thanks to his choice of footwear. Wakka highly doubted they would match by coincidence.
