Dreams Across the Water - [Bulletin Board Post to Action]
Who: [OU] Monkey D. Luffy and if you'd like? You!
When: The afternoon of the 16th of December
Where: At the river bank where there should be (assuming) a number of boats docked and ready for use.
What: The call for adventure is too difficult to ignore. There's something out there. The Queen? Answers? It's all waiting to be discovered by some one.
Warnings: Possible language, but nothing else as of yet.

Luffy is not known for his prose or his dictation, but thankfully Pakku is able to convey the urgency of his message with the sort of inflection and severity that the pirate wishes for. Upon the bulletin board in town is posted a simple scroll. No illustrations with the energetic hand so frequently used these days by Luffy, no assumptions or odd-ball questions that he was commonly putting to those he caught on Mognet's many deliveries. This time, at the height of the hour, the pirate is direct and to the point with his intent. To those who read, the post flows as follows:
To those whom it may concern, to the individuals who have met and befriended Monkey D. Luffy,
There is a voice which calls to people of the sea, the sort of siren that sings the sweetest of hymns that even the strongest will of the heart cannot ignore. This voice has been gripping at my soul since I arrived here, telling of a vast world to explore and an endless sea to chart. There's a scent of adventure, a hanging air that pulls at the very essence of my being that I am afraid is winning in a struggle that I have given great opposition to.
I have not met many here, but the few that I have had the pleasure of crossing paths with, for better or for worse, have been the sort of people that this world needs more of. Persons vying to fulfill their dreams, to seek out the answers which draw at both their waking thoughts and manifests beyond comprehension in their sleep. If ever we are to meet again in this world, I do hope it is over good drink and incredible food. One can never have too much of either in their lives.
I know not where this river will take me, or where my journey may end, but I know I do this with no regrets or fear. What I do I do so knowing that my life is on the line, but I would have it no other way. If I am not giving to this adventure fully, then what point is there in living? I'm setting out to see what it is that we've been brought here, to refuse this title of "hero" that's been given to me, and take charge of the pirate blood which flows inside my veins.
Pakku and I thank you for your generosity,your patience and your compassion.
Dearest regards,
Captain Monkey D. Luffy
Pakku the Moogle

Meanwhile, at the river bank

Pakku wipes away the tears in his eyes. It's been some time since the fluffy companion has set out beyond the continent, away from the comforts of home and the delicious food in which it provided. It takes a great deal of conviction to try and collect himself while he tugs upon the ropes which keep the small row boat in place. Having tiny mitts for hands isn't the most accommodating to the task, which only adds to his worry about what may lie ahead on the open waters.
Having to care for a pirate who cannot swim sends a whole different set of anxious shivers down his miniature spine, or what little of it actually exists, as far as courage is concerned.
"Almost done, Pakku?," the pirate asks from the head of the small boat.
"Can't-.. *SNIFF* Can't we stay just-.. Just one more night?"
"No can do! You can't hear that? The sea is begging for us to explore it, Pakku! You wanna' just stay here and get dusty and let them call us he-Ah! I mean, use that stupid word again?"
The boat certainly doesn't belong to Luffy, and in an rare circumstance where the self-proclaimed pirate actually commits and act of piracy, he hasn't chosen the best vessel for a long journey. He isn't bothering to keep quiet, either, drawing the attention of any and all who might be walking along the small pier and bank.
"Come on, Pakku! Wipe away those tears! You're a man, aren't you?!"
"I'm a Moogle.. *SNIFF*"
"That's the spirit!"

Zelda dug through her pockets quickly trying to find the nicely wrapped gift. She had intended to give it to him at the party but now seemed to be a better time. Why she had it on her was because after reading his note she first ran home to grab it. It seemed silly and she thought she'd miss him but it felt important also.
no subject
He watches with curious eyes, taking note of how the girl rummages around in trying to find the promised present.
"Thanks, Zelda! Not sure what it is, but I hope it's meat!"
no subject
Zelda smiled and then held out the box so he could see it. They weren't to far away but she didn't want to throw it over the water. "Do you mind coming over here so I can give it to you? I'd like to watch you open it."
no subject
"Thanks a lot, Zelda! You said there's going to be lots of meat at a party?"
no subject
There was a little note scribbled across the top that read. So everyone knows that your a pirate.
"I hope you like it. Why don't you open it?"
no subject
".. Huh? What it is?"
no subject
"I hope you like it."
It wasn't anything to fancy but she thought of Luffy the moment that she saw it.
no subject
"Wow! Thanks, Zel-chan! This is great!"
Guilt sinks into him, the sudden feeling that if he were to set off that there might be a loose end without any resolution taking hold of his heart.
"You said.. there'd be meat at your party?"
no subject
“Yes. I planned to have lots of meat.” Her plan to have a lot of meat was specifically designed with Luffy in mind. She knew the pirate loved to eat and she wanted to make sure that he had plenty available to him.
“Are you going try and be there?”
no subject
The Moogle's disposition brightens almost instantly, fluttering back to hug to the straw-covered head of his Captain.
"Y-You mean we aren't sailing away?!"
"The sea isn't going anywhere! We can always start an adventure after the party!"
Pakku's face goes green, sharing a similar color to the water which keeps the small rowboat afloat.
no subject
“I guess I should let you go then so you can get ready.” It was adorable how Luffy and his moogle interacted though it made her think of Kopula who was no doubt frantically fluttering away at home worrying about her.
