On an island that I own, tanned, and rested and alone.... Surrounded by enormous piles of money

[whatoncewashers.livejournal.com]

[You find yourself in a castle- an extremely posh one, albeit one that looks ripped straight out of a fairy tale. It doesn't scream BADASS CASTLE, so much as it screams 'Disney paid for me,' but whatever. It's situated on a small island and the waves crash against the rocks below the castle walls.

Outside, Flynn is sword-fighting pretty fiercely with some random person- nondescript features, typical of a dream world. A good wrist flick and he manages to disarm the man and point the hilt of his blade at his chest. He circles the man, his voice taking on a dramatic edge to it.]

You're lucky today. I don't feel like getting blood on my lawn, but I could still change my mind if you don't get out of here in the next... Ten seconds. [The man runs off and Flynn's dramatic voice completely vanishes as he yells after him, laughing the whole time.] Yeah, you better run! [He sighs dreamily and sheathes his sword, flopping down on the grass to stare out at the water. This is perfect. He has everything- a lot of money, an island he owns, his own castle- oh sure, the occasional brigand tries to steal from him, but he puts that right quick enough.

Oh, and he's alone.

Yep. Perfect.]

[[OOC: ....Flynn's dream at this canon point is canon. Easiest post ever. Catch him just as he's enjoying his "Flynn-time."]]

Your island? I don't see how someone can own a piece of land. Did you make it?

And how can you not know what a grapehippo is? Big, dopey-looking creature, feeds 10 people easily...

[whatoncewashers.livejournal.com]

[CAN IT, POCAHONTAS.]

I bought it. That's how. I have a signed contract and everything.

[Just... Staring.]

...You're just making things up now, aren't you?

[snipestress.livejournal.com]

So you bought it from someone else who made it.

They're all over the place where water can be found. Have you...been outside?

[Maybe that's what it means to 'own land'. Yoko ponders this far harder than it should be pondered.]

[whatoncewashers.livejournal.com]

[FLAILS HIS ARMS]

Where do you think I am right now?

[snipestress.livejournal.com]

Outside of your...[looks around] house...walls.

[whatoncewashers.livejournal.com]

And what's the key word in that sentence?

oops. should have read: "I meant outside of your house walls."

[snipestress.livejournal.com]

So the answer is "No, Yoko, I haven't."

FFF. It's okay.

[whatoncewashers.livejournal.com]

This is outside! Look at it. There's grass and trees and air and the ocean and everything. And I still think you're just making things up.

[facepalm.]

Fine. I'll help you find one...that is, if you don't mind straying a few strides from your house.

[whatoncewashers.livejournal.com]

Fine! I'll humor you. Let's go find this mythical "grapehippo."

so am i gonna meta this in or...?

[Slinging her rifle over her shoulder,] Bring your fire poker, too, [she gestures to his sword,] it might be helpful.

FF. Do it.

[whatoncewashers.livejournal.com]

[OFFENDED] It's a sword. [And... He notices the rifle] ....Is that supposed to be a weapon?

o7

[snipestress.livejournal.com]

Yes. A weapon that can actually hurt things. Things much bigger than either of us.

[As soon as they leave the castle grounds, the world becomes rapidly...swampier. Enjoy your obnoxiously humid heat.]

[whatoncewashers.livejournal.com]

[Hnn. See Flynn swat at things and roll up his sleeves. He hates this already.]

You know when I agreed to this- [Swat] Ow- I didn't think you were gonna drag me off into... This.

[He's pretty sure that this is not on his island and that's kind of weird, but he's not freaking out. It's too hot to freak out.]

[snipestress.livejournal.com]

[totally, uh, dressed for the occasion.]

You can go back home if you can't handle i--

[ducks behind a cluster of tall grass]

Shh! Over here. [gesture gesture]

[whatoncewashers.livejournal.com]

Right. I'll just go back the- [DUCKING.] What? Where?

[Yeah, he's totally awesome at this hunting crap.]

[snipestress.livejournal.com]

[Yoko takes her rifle down off her shoulder and points it at something in the distance, looking through the scope. A second passes and she puts the rifle down, disassembling the scope from it and handing it to him.

She points in the same direction, not whispering, but speaking in a hushed tone:]

Over there, between the vine-covered trees.

[Sure enough, when he looks, he'll find said dopey looking creature (http://www.epicwin.org/img/misc/grapehippo.jpg). Look to fast and you'd miss it--if it didn't look so damn goofy you'd think it was part of the scenery, by the way it stood so still.]
