Cursing, Eddie looked around for an escape route. He saw a glass window. It looked fragile.

"Well. This is going to hurt, no doubt." He ran forward and jumped on the glass. It did not break immediately, and in his panic, he jumped and stamped on it until it shattered under his feet, and he fell through.

He landed on his front, winding himself, but the fall had not killed him, it seemed. Coughing, he yelled in a general upwards direction, "I'm alright!"

"Ah. Hi!" He smiled at the only other occupant of the cell. Hopefully, this one was friendly. He coughed again.

Wait, @Eklispe, wasn't the prison above us? I don't get how we're meant to jump down into it.

Also, sorry for not posting in days, I have no excuses; I just forgot. I really should put this on my calendar or something.

EDIT: Oh, I think I see. I suppose we've all climbed up the rope at this point and this showdown is actually happening on top of the prison, or something?

"Right you are, sir!" Eddie said, grabbing the rope. Pausing a moment, he whispered to the captain, "You sure you don't want to talk to this fellow? He seems insistent."

He waved at Elliot, then started his slow shimmy up the rope, deciding that wherever Dead Eye happened to be currently, it most likely had nothing to do with him. In any case, he should leave any further discussion to his captain.

@Eklispe

By the way, how okay are you with us creating story details ourselves? Would it be okay for us to just narrate how we win a fight, especially against a named character? Or if we just create an item in the environment which would let us get over a wall or other obstacle?

I'm a bit new to this kind of forum RP, so I'm not too clear on good etiquette vs. practicality etc.

"Sir! Or perhaps I should say madam? It appears to be rope. And there's an awful lot of it." The rope hanging from inside the egg was creating a small pile on the ground. "That crazy fellow, uh, Hunter was it? I think the guards should be drawn to the front of the prison. Damn, if only I had a harpoon gun or something, I could get this rope up that wall. I don't really see any way up otherwise."

At which point, they were addressed by a rather tall man, who without warning asked them a question.

"Um. Hello." He said to the man, then turned to the captain, "Uh. Is he a member of our crew?"

"Ahem. I do not suppose you would have harpoon gun, or other large projectile? I would be in your debt if you would lend such an item to me briefly." He bowed slightly, before realising the somewhat ridiculous request he was making toward an utter stranger. Ah well. It was not as though this man had not made a similarly sudden request.

"Wow, is he going to be okay?" Eddie said out loud. "I'll go ahead round back, to scout ahead."

Running off, he used the opportunity to test his ability again. The he received from the last time worried him, but it had passed at this point. Focusing, he-

Pop. Another white-ish egg like object appeared in his hand. Suddenly he felt as though he had run several laps around the University (which, being almost a small town in size, is quite tiring). Damn. This wasn't an ability he could repeat indefinitely. Wiping his now sweaty hands, he reached for the clasp and opened it as he was running.

@Eklispe Gacha item required, and also any enemies/environment information he sees as he goes to the other side of the lake.

"Aye captain, a pleasure to work with you, the name's Elliot by the way" Good things kept happening as he wouldn't die of hunger or madness on a deserted island and he has a new crew to travel with "But before we do anything..." He approached with the make shift bandage "I'll check how deep the wound is, and change your bandage to something more clean if you don't mind" taking the bandage off, he examined the wound; it was certainly not something too bad, and he had seen people get away with worse injuries before, but it still ran the risk of getting infected which could definitely escalate to a lethal problem without the right treatment. Now he could put that strange devil fruit power to use "Its not a serious injury for the moment, but to avoid infection we will replace the bandage with a cleaner one" Elliot turned a small part of his arm into a bandage and talked to Eddie "Hey! Could you use your knife to cut this- raising his arm with the small bandage clinging to it- I'm sure it won't hurt, so don't sorry about cutting it"

@blumenk

"Sure." Eddie cut the bandage where Elliot indicated. "Ah, so he's called Elliot", he thought to himself.

"Eddie Borden!" Abigail smiled. Her firm hand was offered in return for the man's. "Good to see we're not the only ones on the island in need of a bit of assistance." The captain took her hand back and nodded, glancing briefly in the direction of their ship's remains. "I wouldn't say we had a hand in it, exactly. It was the marines doing most of the firing. So at most I'd say we had a finger in it, but we got a lot of the finger in. I'd say it went down to the second joint." She paused to stare down at the man's egg. It was hard to hide the confusion on the captain's face. "That's a knife alright."

The captain paused to listen to her navigator's advice. She gave the man a smile and nod before turning her attention to the last man.

Abigail nodded at the paper man as she stepped aside to let Hunter's rock fall past her and bounce in the sand. "Death does that, doesn't he. I think its the way he taps his bony feet inside your chest that causes all the trouble. makes me nervous as hell." She smiled at the man and nodded at his hand. "Well, if you two would like to join my crew or not, your welcome to come with us to the prison in exchange for help getting off this god forsaken island."

The redhead put her hands on both hips to take a moment to look both of the new men in the eyes. "So about it? You two ready to get back on the sea? If so, there's no time like the present so let's head to that prison and free ourselves some possible mates." She gave a shrug. "And if not at least we'll manage to put a thorn in the marine's side."

@jynmi88

"That is fair. I'd be glad to join, personally. I've just about had enough of the views here. Nothing but broken ships!" Eddie said.

"Speaking of which, you do have a ship, hopefully? Did you land safely? My own ship, the keel snapped, and, well, there's no coming back from that, leave it at that."

Looking more thoughtful, he said, "Ah, but I am guessing that yours was a rough landing too. Still, as long as it is not fatal, I should be able to get her up again, if it pleases you."

"Well, I suppose I should call you captain now. I don't suppose introductions are in order? Or should we get cracking?" He sheathed the knife in a loop on his belt.

"Ahoy! Why, this day has been filled with surprises!" Eddie said, walking over, extending his free hand. "I'm Eddie Borden. I was just discussing with this here sailor how we were going to find help. I suppose you had a hand in the earlier cannon fire off-shore?"

It was only then that he saw that the egg he was holding contained a knife. He placed the egg on the floor, then took the knife out. All while keeping his other hand out.

"Ah. Hm. This is just a knife." He said, hooking it to his belt. "Just a- my knife." He smiled.

@Hippo AF Literally the only reply from Alphie would be that he is in his quarters. So go ahead and add that Alphie pointed him toward the captains quarters because I am not wasting space with a one or two sentence post.

@LostDestiny

I don't know about the others, but I wouldn't really mind this.

Also, Eddie is really confused as to why a ball with a knife inside appeared before him xD
