Chapter 10: Downtime on Toroa.

A single week had passed since the events on Sunnysmile Island. With Nola having joined the crew the Wave Hopper had set sail towards it's next adventure. An adventure that had yet to come much to the dismay of a certain cap wearing captain. The week had been rather uneventful. Other then having seen an Island Whale on the horizon nothing had happened. That wasn't to say Tora hadn't tried to make things happen. No. The captain had been up to his usual bothersome antics and in the process had effectively extended Shin's Tora-Watch period by a solid month. Yes. Tora's plan to extend Shin's Tora-Watch periods so that he could get away with things was actually working smoothly. Nobody suspected anything.

"Hmmhmmh!!"

With his hands resting on his knees Tora sat on top the figurehead attached to the bow of the ship. His legs folded underneath him as he scanned the horizon. The ocean was incredibly quiet today!! Rubbing his chin he carefully observed the calm waves. Something clicked. Something suddenly made sense. Hopping onto his feet Tora quickly spun around and jumped from the figurehead onto the bow of the ship.

"Ne!!"

When he started a sentence with "Ne" the crew just knew nothing good would come from Tora's words. The captains hand rested on his cap as he strolled down from the bow onto the main deck. He had an awesome idea!! With a grin on his face he approached Nola.

"Teach me how to swim, Nola!! I'm pretty certain you can swim!! Either you, Shin, Pai or Guy. Any one of you guys!! Teach me!! I think I could swim before... And then I forgot how to. It's a very big problem for me. No actually, I don't really care, I don't want to swim... Don't make me"

All he wanted was apple sauce.

"Apple sauce!!"

Rushing off he entered the kitchen but instantly came to a stop when he noticed the chain and lock around the fridge. Sucking in his lips he glanced from side to side before slowly approaching the fridge and gazing at the door warily. Stupid Pai with his stupid lock..... Fingers gripped onto the metal objects before they started pulling. He'd get his apple sauce even if he had to be forceful!!

A shadow suddenly loomed over Tora as he gripped onto the lock. A big, hulking shadow with surprisngly cute round ears. The eyes that were attached to this particular shadow were far from cute. They glowed with a fierce, almost demonic like red color. While Tora was busy pulling on the locks the shadow raised a big fist that instantly ignited in flames. BOOOOOM!!! The Wave Hopper rocked a bit after the sudden sound of fist colliding with skull. Standing over Tora was the crew's cook, Pai Mao, in his heavy point form. "Are you kidding me Tora?!" The Red Cap Cook shouted with an angry look on his face. "I may not be on Tora watch but I've been in full alert mode since that little stunt that lead us to Sunnysmile." Grumbling to himself Pai picked up Tora by the shirt and carried him out of the kitchen. Kicking the door open Pai tossed Tora out of the kitchen and back to the deck. "I'll have food ready in a little bit, just wait till then!" Shaking his head Pai was about to walk back into the Kitchen when he looked over to Shin.

"Shin-sensei! I know your busy keeping the Order of Justice in the world balanced, but one more stunt like that and I'm adding another week to your Tora watch!" Heading back into the kitchen Pai reverted to his brain point, closing his eyes and taking some deep breaths. He was meditating to calm himself down. Once he had regained his composure the young panda got back up and clapped his hands. "Now then...what to make today?" Pai said while tapping his chin. He needed to figure out something that everyone would be happy with. Well, everyone but Tora that was. It didn't matter what Pai could make, that crazy Captain only wanted apple sauce. It was a challenge to get him to eat anything else. Still, Pai would figure out a meal as he shifted through the now unlocked fridge. Hopefully Shin would be able to keep a closer eye on Tora while the Molebearpig was busy cooking.

Life was tough. You were born, you grew up living a mediocre life, and you died, the memories of you vanishing with the passing of your close family. Sickness, loss, pain and defeat. It was tragic fate he had been burdened with. He tilted his head upwards, his eyes still closed as he meditated on his thoughts. The sun caressed his face yet his thoughts did not lighten up. A gentle breeze of air passed by his body, cooling him down in the sun yet it did nothing too calm his mind.

"Damn Tora-watch..."

Yes. The only reason Shin was depressed was because of his captain. Shin's thoughts had visited a very dark place because of the recent news that his Tora-watch had been extended by a whole month. Such a tragic fate the world had bestowed upon him. It was not his fault that Tora could not be contained!

"Wait..."

His eyes opened for the first time in an hour as he glanced towards where he had told Tora to stay. His eyes widened as he saw nothing but air there. Then he heard Pai's voice. Shin rose up to his feet and turned around confused.

"What? It's impossible to stop him from pulling stunts like that! It's as if he doesn't even listen to me when I tell him to stand still until we get to another island... I don't know what else to do..."

Yes, Shin, in his current state of mind, would be a terrible, terrible parent. Zenko had told him that he needed to actually keep an eye on Tora to stop the captain from pulling stupid stunts, but Shin had made it a principle to disobey Zenko whenever it was possible. Besides, it was just Tora. What could he really do that was so bad?

In an instant, memories of their past adventures flashed by Shin's mind.

"..."

The shipwright turned towards Tora with a fire in his eyes.

"I'M KEEPING MY EYES ON YOU, TORA! Wait, where'd he go? Ah. He's probably just working on becoming more responsible."

Truth to be told, Shin had simply turned the wrong direction and had no seen that Tora was still on the deck with him. Without checking out his surroundings, he closed his eyes and went back to meditating. He was amazed at how fast he'd convinced Tora to behave like a normal person.

In the furthest reaches of Shin's mind, his logical self was screaming out against its bonds, telling Shin to just turn around and keep an eye on Tora. But those screams of logic were smothered by the sounds of Justice. And stupidity. A hefty dose of stupidity.

As soon as Guy heard Tora saying "Ne" the navigator just glanced at the captain with blank eyes and listened as he wanted Shin to teach him how to swim, then imedietly decide that he didn't want to be taught.

"Tora you can't swim at all..I can't swim and I'm defidently sure Shin can't swim..god"the navigator muttered as he made a small change to the course they were heading in, before looking at Tora once more, skillfully keeping the ship on course even after Pai causing the ship to rock slightly.

"...."madness whenever Tora spoke madness was bound to happen, and it was then that he saw Shin look in the wrong direction as he was talking to Tora listening to the nonsense he was sprouting..becoming more responsible, as if.

"Shin..he's behind you"Guy muttered as he picked up a small pepple and then tossed it lazily at the back of the shipwright's head

Zenko just watched the water. It was a calm day, the first mate didn't complain too much. His wounds were still very severe. But when Zenko saw oppertunity... Slowly Zenko glanced over his shoulder. Geno couldn't see him from this position.

"Good..."

Zenko smiled, as he continued to lift his weights. He had to keep pushing himself. How else was he suppose to beat Vickrum if he was constantly busy healing. Ever since Zenko joined this crew, his body had been constantly injured. But the first mate couldn't contain himself when he heard Pai.

"HA!"

Zenko dropped his weight, before catching it. He didn't want to lose it in the ocean. Zenko pulled himself straight, before turning around to watch Pai and Shin. The first mate nodded in approvingly. It seemed Pai was pulling slightly away from Shin's influence. This greatly humored Zenko.

"Yes, Shin. Keep your eyes on Tora. If he leaps into the water, I'm sending you into the water to save him."

And Zenko was well aware that Shin couldn't swim. He might even be fifty-fifty on leaving them both in the water for a little while. It would make things more easy. They wouldn't need to worry about crazy antics that Tora would pull. Zenko then continued to snicker as Guy threw a pebble at Shin's head. Tora-watch was good. Not only did Tora's diminish in numbers, albeit not by a lot, it also annoyed Shin to no end. And to top it off, whenever Tora would do something, the crew would blame Shin, annoying the Shipwright some more.

If Nola had to describe her stay aboard this ship in one word, it would be strange. She had never been apart of a crew like this. Others were either very strict or cut throat. These Red Caps though were so laid back Nola sometimes wondered how they functioned. The first few days aboard the ship were strange for her. Nola had learned to always be on guard when on a new ship. You never knew when someone would try to hurt or steal something. So to see smiles and cheerful people around was of the unexpected to her. The change in atmosphere did help change her music as well. The melodies that she often played to sooth her nerves with other crews as more upbeat with the Red Caps. She would often be one of the first ones to wake up. In the morning her songs would be quiet and peaceful. When the sun rose they would become more audible and cheerful. Nola would never openly admit it, but the change in spirits made her happy.

On this particular day Nola was resting up on the deck. A light but invigorating song coming from her flute. Her music came to a stop she heard Tora say "Ne". Looking over at Tora she saw he was quickly coming this way. She glanced up at him with a calm expression. That expression stayed even as Tora said some confusing things. Of all the humans aboard this ship that had an ability, Guy seemed to be the only one that understood it meant he couldn't swim. Tora chalked it up to simply forget while Pai and Shin...had a new ridiculous excuse each time it was brought up. All the while Nola remained quiet and smirked at Tora. In the short time she was aboard the ship she figured out one thing. A situation involving Tora will either escalate into an accidental catastrophe or be difused by the very man himself. In this case, Tora had convinced himself he did not want to swim. Nola watched as Tora ran off for the kitchen, shaking her head.

"Just another day with the Red Caps."

She quietly said to herself before preparring to play some more music. Before she could the ship suddenly rocked. Nola's fingers clenched around her flute and she was halfway into a defensive stance. It was then that Pai tossed Tora right out of the kitchen. She blankly stared at the scene between boys unfold. This crew was so bizarre, and yet Nola was enjoying herself. She quietly giggled and shook her head again, then looked over to Tora.

"Cook-san seems very defensive of his kitchen."

Nola shrugged and sat back down on the deck. Placing the flute to her lips she then began to play a more calming melody for the crew.

Apparently getting to the fridge was no longer an easy task for the enigmatic captain of the odd band of pirates. Tora had been convinced he had been as sneaky as he could have possibly been but Pai had gone and proved him otherwise. As the captain tinkered with the lock he failed to notice the large figure dooming up behind him sinisterly. He paid the price. The blow Pai delivered to his captains head was so powerful the entire ship rocked and the ocean resonated. With tears in his eyes Tora found himself cast out on deck like a worn out jacket containing that was of no further use to anyone.

Dear lord that hurt!! With his hands covering the bump on his head Tora turned back to the closed kitchen door. Unfair!! He was the captain of this vessel and he demanded to be given access to the kitchen!! The captain hopped back onto his feet and raised his voice. Not angrily though. Nope. If Tora didn't get his way he didn't become angry. He'd throw a tantrum or put on his whiny voice. Either one of the two generally worked if he kept it up long enough.

"I want apple saaauuuhaaaauuuuceeee~~ I want it, I want it, I wan- Ah!! Paiko!! Eh? Hmm... Penko...? Where's my cap anyway?"

Sidetracking himself once again the captain turned away from the door and stared of into the distance absent mindedly for a full minute before he snapped out of it as Shin raised his voice. Turning to the shipwright the captain's brows furrowed. Damn it!! Stupid Tora-Watch!! Sure he got around it but it made things harder for him.

"Why do I need Tora-Watch anyway? It's not like I'll get in trouble like Guy or Geno!! I know how to behave myself perfectly well!! I don't need Tora-Watch!! Shin!! Don't let them put you up to something you don't want!! GENO!! Zenko's training~~ He shouldn't be doing that should he?"

The cheeky bastard spoke cupping his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from laughing as he glanced over at Zenko mischievously. He'd tell on Zenko until Zenko stopped putting people on Tora-Watch!! Maybe Tora was ought to pitch the idea of a Zenko-Watch to prevent the swordsman from training when he was "injured" or basically when Geno was being overly worried.

"Guh!! Guy you traitor!! Why man?!? I'm not behind you Shin!! I'm on the lower decks!! Awawa!!"

The captain was about to actually bolt bellow deck when he heard Nola comment on Pai's behaviour. He blinked shifting his gaze from the door to Nola and back to the door before he finally settled on Nola, crossed his arms and nodded wisely.

"It's because Kubomacho and Cody keep raiding the fridge and throwing the food overboard"

He spoke matter of factly. It was clear Tora was up to his usual antics and as the Wave Hopper sailed on the sun started setting. Outside of the pantry Tora was impatiently tapping his fingers on the rail of the ship. Damn it what was taking so long!! Tora wanted his warmed up apple sauce with apple juice and... Apple pie for desert? Hopefully!! Apples!!

"...... Pai!! As your captain I have to tell you, you need to cook a little faster. I'm really hungry!!"

Meanwhile, on a nearby island, a lone figure stood at the coast. A single set of footprints trailed on behind him down the beach, marking his lone trek down the sandy shore. The sea water lapped at the man's bare feet as he stood at the water line, the sleeves on his hooded sweatshirt pushed up past his elbows, his fingers laced together, cradling his head as he tipped it back, eyes closed, to soak up the day's fading light. "Another beautiful day..." He spoke aloud, and although there was nobody around to verify his remark, it didn't make it any less true.

Turning away from the ocean, he adjusted the strap of the bag he had slung over his shoulder and continued on his way down the beach, his destination coming closer with every step. Ahead of him was a path leading up to the top of the seaside cliff that was his current objective. "Almost there..." As he made his way up the worn path from the beach, he began to hear the now-familiar sounds of his newly-adopted family, the Rainbow Light tribe. In no time at all, the camp the tribe was setting up came into view. "Looks like I made it right in time." He mentioned with a grin to nobody in particular, looking around at the living creature that was the Rainbow Light tribe. He had been living with them for months, but the efficiency and speed with which they set up and broke down their temporary camps still astonished him. If things had gone according to plan, they would have just arrived earlier that day, but they had already set up a sprawling camp rivaling the size of a small village.

He walked right to the middle of the camp, to the chief's hut, smiling and exchanging pleasantries with other members of the tribe as he made his way, and nodded at the single guard standing watch outside before barging in unannounced, setting his bag down inside the doorway to the hut. "Shempa! I'm back! I found some excellent plants on my trip, they'll go great in a pot of tea! Do you want some tea? I could go for a cup. How was the journey? It looks like everyone arrived just when you said. Did I miss anything? I'm going to put some tea on." Without even paying attention to who or what was going on inside the hut, the man in the hoodie and many-pocketed shorts began poking through boxes of herbs, and digging through his own pockets, throwing seemingly random selections of plant bits into a pot for some tea.

"Hmm..no ships around,calm seas.."Guy said quietly as he calmly shifted the helm to the right so the wind was helping the boat move faster while listening to Tora talking about completely random things

"Hey Tora cooking takes time you know..don't make me toss you overboard dangling by some rope..I'll do it you know"Guy said looking at Tora as he was just harassing Pai into rushing his cooking...if indeed he was cooking, that was until he heard Tora say that it was Cody and Kubomacho who tossed the food overboard.

"BAKAAAAA!!"Guy yelled his head looming over the helm like some demonic demon from the seas, and soon enough Tora would be seen dangling over the edge rope tied around his legs and to the railings..and it was a good leght that Tora wouldn't be dunked into the water as the ship moved.

"It was you who tossed the food overboard nobody else"the navigator spoke as he coughed before going back to his task of navigating the seas.

The pirate woman named Geno stood a ways from Zenko, not behind, but infront of him, watching the first mate break the rules she had set upon him for his wounds. He was lifting eights again, and in turn, his wounds were only going to get worse!

Frowning, the woman walked over, ever so slowly as he glanced about, before his attention shifted away from the weights, and to some of the other crewmates.

Examining the weights a few feet away from Zenko, Geno then dug into her pouch, intent on quickly grabbing a salve, or cream, or anything that she could quickly force onto the first mate before the man could reject it.

But then, she couldnt find anything.

"Uh-ph"

Geno Scarlett said outloud as she felt nothing. Had she really gone through all of it throughout the passed while aboard the Wave Hopper, tending to the Red Caps after their encounter with Sharx Carter and his crew of nasty men, the Sharx Reign.

Rushing into the cabin, Geno checked her room, which also doubled as the medicine and first aid closet. Nothing. She rummaged through chests and shelves. Not a damn thing was left!

Coming out of the door leading to the deck, Geno hung on the frame as she dangled her body out, waving her left hand, getting the attention on the crew.

"Hey uh, guys? We are out of medical supplies!"

"Zenko, if it was ever needed of me, I would gladly jump into the water after my captain! Because I abide by the principles of loyalty and Justice! Joviality!"

The fact that his combination of the words Justice and loyalty turned into a real word with a wholly different meaning did not cross Shin's mind. He was about to speak more of his grand dedication to Tora and the crew when a rock thrown by Guy hit him in the back of the head. He rubbed his head turning to Guy with a confused expression.

"Guy, you can't just throw rocks at people. This isn't Sniper Island. Also, where'd that rock come from? No dirty rocks on my ship! This place is for wood only. And us. And food. But no pebbles!"

He was pretty sure Guy was from Sniper Island; in fact, he was so sure that he was certain. Where else could a person like Guy be born if not on Sniper Island, the land of people with guns and other such devices?

It was only when he heard the familiar voice of his captain that Shin finally turned around. Gasp!

"Gasp!"

He said the actual words. He had figured out, just days ago, that the actual act of gasping was neither manly nor filled with Justice, so he would have to use the actual word whenever he needed to express great shock and surprise. Just like he was feeling now!

"I thought I told you to practice being a good-mannered person. I see... These people. They're distracting you. Tempting you to fall down the path of pranking once more. No more! You must practice in complete solitude! I will build a ford for you. There should be room on this ship for a ford if I just expand the ship... Hmmm..."

And he was gone, off to the land of shipwrighting and such. With the calculations and the planning and the working-in-the-sun-while-bare-chested.

"Ehhh?"Guy muttered tilting his head glaring at the shipwright talking to him about..Sniper Island the man was insane,Guy wasn't from Sniper Island so he just ignored the man before focusing on listening to Nola's music and navigating the ship..well that was until his ears heard something really stupid.

"And you can join Tora in meditation as well"the navigator said leaving the helm once more approching the shipwright his evil intentions hidden behind his calm and collect posture..that was until he got close to the man and it was only then that Shin would notice something was wrong but by then it was already too late as Guy was now dangling Shin over the edge about to do what he had done to Tora a few moments ago, that was until he heard Geno tell them that they were out of medical supplies.

"Bakaaaass...whoaa!!"Guy said as he was about to say something else when he felt Shin's foot slip from his hands meaning Shin was going to fall into the water.

"..."and so the man simply lurched over the edge and grabbed Shin's foot once more then pulled him up so Guy was standing on the deck once more, then proceeded to calmly dangle Shin beside Tora, before looking at Geno coughing slightly.

"...I thought we stacked up on medical supplies before we left..."Guy started to say glancing over at Zenko who was lifting weights now he knew the reason for it, Zenko was still training reguardless of the fact he hadn't yet learned to rest his injuries.

"Why me.."Guy muttered as his facial expression was sullen heading back to the helm to lament

"I'm the only sane person here along with Nola and Geno...stupid tomato head and his insessive need to train even though he needs to rest his wounds,idiots Shin and Tora..for being..well idiots"Guy muttered outloud not realising he could be heard by the others..and inadvertadly insulted Zenko in the process.

Pai was busy in the kitchen, preparing the nights meal for everyone when he heard the commotion outside. It seemed as if Guy was venting some frustration with the others. That was quite a rare thing to see, coming from the Navigator. Putting the pot of water he had boiling on a low burn Pai stepped out of the kitchen to see what was going on. "Whats with all the commoti-EEHHH?!?!" As Pai stepped out he saw Tora and Shin hanging from the side of the ship. What in the world had those two done to set the Navigator off like that? At the same time Guy began to rant about the crew. All of this seemed to be triggered by the fact that the ship was out of medical supplies. "Honestly Zenko! You gotta stop wasting medical supplies! Either stop training till you're full healed or use your demon power to regenerate your body! We all know you have that power so stop being lazy!" It was a known fact Demons could regenerate, at least in the mind of Pai. The fact that he was willing to waste the precious medical supplies that the non-demon crew needed was just rude.

Turning his head the Red Cap Cook looked over to Guy. His ranting was rather spot on to be completely honest. It did seem like Guy and Geno were the closest to sane aboard the ship. Nola was still up in the air, after all she was still new. Calling Tora an idiot was like calling the sky blue. It was a pretty obvious statement to make. He was a little offended at Guy for calling Shin an idiot. After all, how could you call the Avatar of Justice an idiot? He must have done something foolish, but chances were Tora was to blame. There was one person missing in Guy's rant. It was why Pai had a big smile across his face he folded his arms. "Its okay to throw me into your little speech there Guy. Afterall, we all known I'm the most intelligent Molebearpig on this ship." Making his way towards the kitchen he stopped before entering. "Tora, stop causing trouble until I finish dinner! Seriously!"
-----------------------------------------

On the island of Toroa things were rather peaceful. Recent events had caused a bit of a commotion however, as a group of loggers were trying to tear down the balance of nature on the island. Had it not been for the help of a young traveler named Spike one of the island's most precious plant life would have been lost. They were the glowshrooms to be exact. This plant was precious to a particular tribe that lived on Toroa, the Rainbowlight Tribe. They made it their duty to keep the glowshrooms safe from any harm. It was why unlike many of the tribes on the island that were very nomadic, the Rainbowlights did not travel far. They had to stay close to the glowshrooms after all. After helping rid the island of the loggers, the tribe had welcomed Spike as one of their own. When the young man made his way to the new campgrounds he was happily greeted by the tribe. Even the guard standing post at the main hut gave Spike a simple nod towards him. Once he stepped in Spike would see the three men that made the tribe's council sitting inside.

"Ohh, there you are Spike." Said an older man with salt and pepper hair and bushy beard. His name was Omacha, the advisor to the village elder. "Oi oi...still making yourself at home without addressing yourself I see." The second man with black hair tied in a pony tail chimed in, giving Spike a blank look. This man was Gorshu, the one in charge of keeping the tribe safe. "Grohohoho! Glad to see you did not get lost Spike!" Said an elderly bald man with a cheerful aura. This man was Shempa, the village elder to the Rainbowlight Tribe. "A cup of tea sounds lovely my young friend. The journey went swimmingly as well, there were no problems what-so-ever, Grohoho!" Shempa said in a happy tone, laying in his bed as stiff as a board. Omacha and Gorshu sat on the ground next to Shempa, a dreary aura hovering over both of them along with a sweatdrop. "He insisted on having a race with the children to the camping grounds." Omacha said while looking at Spike and pointing to Shempa with his thumb. "Grohoho! The young ones were so enamored by my youthful spirit that they couldn't even find the energy to race me." Gorshu leaped to his feet, wanting to smack Shempa but restraining himself. "They didn't race you because you popped your back after the fist step! They knew you were hurt dummy!" Shempa's cheerful expression vanished for a moment, looking confused for a second. "I still wonder why my back gave out on me so quickly though." Both Omacha and Gorshu were now in his face, an angry vein pulsing in both their foreheads. "ITS BECAUSE YOU'RE OLD!!" The village elder's response to the angry duo was to merely laugh at the situation, causing both men to fall backwards. "Enough about our day though. Did you happen upon anything interesting today Spike?"

Nola was having a hard time continuing her music. This crew was a rather rowdy bunch. She realized a few days ago that getting use to them would take some time. Even Guy, one of the people Nola thought the most rationale, was caught up in this random scene. Nola looked on with a blank stare as Tora and Shin were dangling from the side of the ship. She merely sighed before getting up.

"Please make sure those ropes are tight Mr.Navigtor. I assume I'd be the one to go after them if they fall in."

At that point Geno had come around with some bad news. The ship was now out of medical supplies. Given the amount of injuries the crew sustained fighting Carter and the others it made a lot of sense. However it seemed like Zenko was more to blame than the others. Nola still wasn't sure how he sustained them. She felt like it wasn't her place to ask. However, Zenko's need to keep training meant his wounds kept opening up.

"Pai..Zenko isn't a..h-he can't regener... never mind."

The talking bear was the most bizarre member of the Red Caps. Nola sometimes felt his ability to make things up rivaled even Tora's. She did smile a little when Guy referred to her as one of the sane ones. All this aside Nola knew how important the matter was.

"Hopefully the next island we find will have a town. Given the fighting on Sunnysmile medical supplies are very important right now."

Spike smiled as he prepared tea for Shempa and the other members of the council. The two younger members of the council were constantly reminding Shempa that he wasn't as young as he felt, but the leader of the tribe either didn't listen, or didn't care. There was something about that fact that gave Spike hope. Since he had been adopted into the tribe, Spike had seen Shempa consigned to bed rest nearly once a week, as the elder of the tribe would attempt some action beyond the abilities of his aged body. But the leader of the Rainbow Light tribe would be right back at it as soon as he was on his feet again, with Omacha and Gorshu right behind him, usually arguing a logical reason for him to stop, and usually being ignored in that regard.

"Hoohoohoo! Sounds like I missed a good race! That's alright though, I actually had a pretty great day myself. I found a new variant of arrowleaf that I've never seen before. I brought a sample back with me." Spike said as he moved over to the bag he had dropped off near the door to the hut. Reaching inside the main compartment, he pulled out a small plant, just barely sprouted. The small, vine-like plant would be unremarkable to most, if you didn't count the fact that the leaves all formed perfect arrow shapes. The botanist began potting the sample he had brought back with him as he continued speaking. "I know arrowleaf is a fairly common plant, but I've never seen one that had such deep purple coloration on the leaves. Even stranger, it was growing right near the coast, not inland like you would expect. The taste is even unusual. It's sour. And a little salty. Oh! The tea!!"

Spike rummaged around the hut and gathered up some tea cups, and began pouring for the council. "Now Shempa, I put in some herbs that will help relax your back, but try not to over-do it again for a few days, ok? It's just tea, not medicine." He sat cross-legged on the floor, a cup of hot tea in his hands and a smile on his face.

It is a fantastic game which, obviously, we have based ours on in the most unobtrusive way possible, with any and all connections and correlations between our sites being nothing more than paid homage and the acceptance of excellent, well-considered ideas. While we here at NA have put a lot of effort into writing up the information for this game, a fair portion of it was borrowed and adapted from the aforementioned game, and so we here can't thank them enough for their hard work, and hope that anyone who ventures into this game checks their's out as well, assuming they have not already. They're a good bunch over there and deserve all the respect in the world for their ventures and creativity.
