[ Needless to say, Shinra got his just desserts for slacking off on the ship while everyone else worked their behinds off. He wasn’t thinking too clearly about his actions until he saw the look on Astraea’s face. Rather, for him, he can only think about how he didn’t even think anyone other than his mother could look so ominously angry. As the woman takes steps towards him, he slowly backs up with hands raised up as if trying to calm her down. “N-Now now, Astraea. Let’s be civil here, alright? Even if you’re mad, at least let me explai-” Too late, foolish boy. Cutting his words off is the strong grip of a mother planning to discipline her child. He can only drop his arms to his side as he’s lifted up.
“Ah.” is all he manages to get out.
In the next moment, everyone is preparing the ship for departure and otherwise taking a load off before handling the next island. Shinra on the other hand remains hanging limp for the roof of the ceiling with only his head, while the remainder of his body hands gently, swaying in the breeze. That day, he truly felt what it meant to be a ship ornament. He wouldn’t slack off again.
---
After a period of time, the crew finally makes it to the next destination. However, even from a distance one can see the sheer destructive state the island is in. It’s like it had been struck by a natural calamity. Broken, frozen, and grinded down into fragments of what it once was. Only a few buildings remain, the clear lucky ones. Shinra watches with a slight frown as he rubs the back of his head, letting out a sigh. “If it isn’t one thing, it’s the next. Damn…” Within the next few minutes or so the ship arrives at port--or what remains of it. He’d pocket his hands as he watches everyone exit off and do their own thing. Specifically, he’d watch over Evelyn. Not so much to stalk her, but he initially wanted to spend a bit more time with her. He had handled mission after mission with Astraea, but this new woman who is apparently her daughter, remains a mystery to him. He follows close behind her, not necessarily going out of his way to hide his presence, watching as she and a few other close by Marines handled things their own way. Nothing special as expected. The usual routine. However, the moment Evelyn starts to act funny, he rushes over to her, only stopping as her strange behavior seemed to take a turn for the weird. It’s like she is trying to...reject something. Fight it. He stands there, telling the civilians to step back for the time being, while looking over his shoulder to the distressed girl. His frown returns as tears start welling up in her eyes. A sight that was his breaking point. Enough was enough. Now he intervenes. He turns and walks over to the girl, kneeling down and placing a hand on her shoulder. He calls her name numerous times but she doesn’t respond, but seems to break her trance as she comes to a stand. As if all the pain faded in that very moment. Shinra remains kneeled, looking up to her in confusion with a few droplets of sweat riding down the side of his head. “H-Hey? Are you alright?”
“I’m coming for you Galand. You’d best be prepared…”
Galand? Who the heck was that? From the way she said it, maybe it had something to do with the person that did this to Whiskey Peak? A possibility, but he can’t be certain. With a sigh, he stands up and pockets his hands. He lightly tilts his head while watching his new teammate from behind. Maybe...he should ask Astraea about this whole mess later. “You feeling okay, Evelyn? Wanna take a break for now? I can cover for you.” he says in a fairly lackluster tone, not necessarily wanting to do it, but he would if need be. ]

XXX The sheer intensity of the emotions Astraea felt at the moment were practically overwhelming. By the description she'd received from the mercenary, there was no way it could have been anyone but Galand. Mumbling her hollow gratitude to the other woman, the Marine stepped behind the remnants of the counter, scooping up a mug of water with trembling hands. Already she was light headed, her heart hammering uncomfortably hard in her chest as she stepped away. sitting down against a pile of rubble with a shaky sigh. She just needed a moment and then she'd be fine. Blinking, she felt a sudden wetness on her cheeks and raised her fingers to brush them across her skin, furrowing her eyebrows in apparent confusion. When had she started crying? Closing her eyes, she leaned her head back, swallowing down the sudden nausea she felt, trying to center herself once more. Fury and sadness were at the forefront of the emotions she was experiencing, though fear was close behind. There was something about him or the idea of him that made her panic and wish to run and hide somewhere else. "This is Galand's fault. He's the reason you feel so much pain." She couldn't remember who had said that or why, but now she certainly did associate the man with agony, physical or otherwise.
The worst and most confusing thing she felt by far was happiness. A part of her was genuinely overjoyed to know that Galand was alive and most likely well considering everything the mercenary had told her. The fact that she was relieved to hear this despite everything he had done to the area - despite everything he had done to Eden's Dove - it was disgusting. One hand clasped over her mouth, Astraea leaned forward, dry heaving a couple of times, shuddering and bringing her knees to her chest after a moment. Her body felt hot and heavy, and for a second she was certain she was going to pass out in a pathetic heap behind a conglomeration of rubble. The sudden rush of cold water cascading over her head and down her body made her gasp quietly and open her eyes, her clarity temporarily restored. Looking down at the now empty mug she'd grabbed earlier, Astraea pushed her now damp hair back, ringing it out and standing up. Bringing both of her hands to her cheeks, she slapped herself a couple of times to pull her from her stupor. This wasn't the proper time for her to sit and wallow; she still had a mission to accomplish.
As she returned to the building, she offered small waves or greetings to other Marines she passed by who had always arrived to provide aid. Back in the clearing of what was once the bar, the young woman looked around, seeing one familiar face among those gathered. "Ah, Miss Vines!" She walked over to her, and began to assist her with whatever it was she was working on. "Thank you for the help again. At this point perhaps you could consider joining the Marines and working with us permanently. We could always use more trustworthy, hardworking people like yourself." Though her smiles had been forced as she had walked alone, it was genuine now that she was talking to the Mink civilian. "How long have you worked as a farmer?" As they continued to build up the area, she'd ask a follow up question, a bit of concern on her expression. "Hey, have you seen Shinra and Eve?"
「003 STR | 010 PRW | 005 DEF | 005 SPD | 003 STA | 004 VIT」
Just like that, everything came back into focus.
Evelyn blinked a couple times before turning her head to see Shinra standing next to her. He looked concerned. Of course, that would be the appropriate response for someone who saw someone else like this. She stood up wiping her tears and sniffling. "Y-yeah, I'm fine now. Just, uh, had a little headache of some sorts...A major headache..." Evelyn brushed herself off and sighed, "Ummm, for a bit? I think I need a break. I'll be back. thanks, Shinra." With that, she walked away to find a nice, calm location to relax.
She sat for 30 minutes, gathering herself and reviewing her experience, piecing together what had just occurred. It was strange, but the memories felt real. They had to be, yet why were they now coming back? Evelyn watched as progress was made on repairs and she stood up to get back to work. As she made her way towards the center of town and into the bar, she saw Astraea talking to the mink woman, Bo, whom she had become acquainted with on their boat ride to Whiskey Peak.
Evelyn opened her mouth to respond, but stopped. She couldn't. She didn't know how to approach her without it being uncomfortable. Not after what she saw. She needed time. It would have to wait until the next stop. The woman turned around and found somewhere else to work until it was time to board the ship once more.

[Enter from Kyuka]
Having skillfully ditched the bald commander and his orders, since she knew of his secret stash and also of information that he would not like to share with his wife, Lyre joined the young girl, Masae, and the lust inducing Azusa. Even though Masae had already introduced them, she thought it would be more than a pleasure to introduce herself personally to him. She certainly would not mind relieving his tension. As he bowed to greet her, she mimicked him with the little knowledge she had of Wano. "I'm called Lyre. The pleasure is all mine." she replied, making sure that he would know her name. Not too long after, the ship arrived at Whiskey Peak, where she had been some time before. After the work she did there was complete, more issues came up to it seemed that more marines were called. Even now the sound of destruction occurring on another area could be heard even from this far. It was no wonder that Lyre had to return.
She would follow the example of the man, except for the part where he removes his shirt, and go as lightly dressed as possible. This time she could not bring herself to slack off as she did not want the two to have a bad impression of her. Wearing but a tank top and tight shorts that did not restrain her tail, she got started on the manual labor.
While some people had difficulties with physical labor and heavy lifting, this was an ordinary, every day task for someone like Bo. Having been raised with a strong work ethic, Bo was use to being up before the rooster's c**k-a-doodle-doo until the cows came home. She'd even consider work like this a therapeutic break.
With most of the work done Bo was finally able to wipe the sweat from her brow. She hadn't gotten dirty in quite some time now, which only made her think just how long she'd been away from home. Her bronzed skin was beaten by the sun. Astraea would catch the woman in the middle of a water break. With a few swigs and a deep, satisfying coo she turned her sights towards the blonde woman with a warm grin and a piece of hay clutched in between her teeth."Thanks fer tha offer, I'm flattered,"she chuckled,"but I ain't never really been much of a military type. But I like y'all so I'll stick around ger a bit. I've been a farm gal fer as long as I can remember; I come from a long line of 'em. The middle child tah a couple'a hard workin' parents. The Vines family line practically invented modern day agricultural techniques and whatnot back where I'm from."Bo explained to her.
However, she never really gave any insight as to where she was from exactly.
Upon being asked about Shinra and Eve, the large-bodied bovine gave a shrug and pointed a thumb over her shoulder."If yah mean that cute tanned gal I saw her not too long ago over there. But she seemed kinda spaced out, like she had sumthin' on her mind. And I ain't seen ol' Droopy Eyes since when hit shore. He may be sleepin' again."She paused to help a man with a few heavy boards that needed to be put up to patch up the flooring for one of the abodes here, she turned her head over her shoulder to peer back over to Astraea."I'm sure they'll turn up. It's about time tah get outtah here anyway ain't it? Mah guess is that they're back on the ship coolin' off. It's hotter than Vulcan's trousers out here."With a snort Bo walked off to finish up repairs so they could head on out.

On the boat, Masae had decided to cool off for a bit, so she laid in the bunker, half naked, locking the door to make sure no one got in. It was cooler down there, so it was enjoyable. When she felt that the ship had came to a halt, she hopped off the bed, and began to dress herself. Stockings, undershirt, skirt. She left her jacket on the ship, hung up nicely, as to not get it dirty. She was unaware of where Lyre had went…perhaps she was on the deck.
Stepping outside, the female quickly saw where exactly they were, and jumped off the side of the boat. She landed on the beach, with a soft thump, and began to try to find where Azusa had went. She peered around, slowly picking up debris. Suddenly, she saw him…or rather, his strong, broad shoulders. She froze in place, the only thing moving were her eyes as she eyed him up and down. If she was drooling, she wasn’t aware. His tattoo was such a Nice addition, but what she couldn’t stop thinking about was how it would feel to hold such a man.
Masae snapped out of it, muttering to herself,
“ ******** head was filled with things it wasn’t supposed to, but that didn’t stop her from doing her task. She found something in the middle of the debris, and picked it up. It seemed to be a small jewelry box, and as she stood up, the Marine looked around quickly, trying to find if someone was looking for it. Perhaps someone thought of this as suspicious, and yelled out,
“PIRATE.”
Masae was so confused, she looked around, even turning around and back, only to get hit in the forehead with a rock. She stumbled backwards, dropping the jewelry box onto the floor. She held her head as blood dripped down her nose and cheek, down to her chin, and off her body. How did someone even THINK she was a pirate?
“ W-Wait… I-I’m a Marine.” She weakly said, wincing from the pain.
As one of her hands held her injury, the other grabbed at a broken chair, still backing away from her assailant, when the woman threw a brick. It hit Masae in the shoulder, and made her unbalanced, causing her to fall on the sand. The woman’s husband ran over, and took his wife away,
“ Im so sorry…she is so traumatized after the attack…”
Masae waved him off, and stood up on her own, unsure just how bad she was hit. Her hand fiddled with a compartment on her thigh, which housed gauze and a coagulant. She took out the gauze, and applied it to her wound. How embarrassing…
For now it seemed that things had calmed down. Amongst those helping was a large bovine woman who was busy carrying around material with the strength of ten men. For a minute Azusa stared with a raised brow, unable to tell if she was a residence to these dinosaur-infested parts or if she had been a Marine; he certainly hadn't seen her before. With a shake of the head he'd continue his work.
Within earshot the bearded man heard the wolf cry for pirates and immediately jerked his head towards that direction. He'd watch as a frantic woman flung things towards Masae, many of which struck, until the woman was pulled away by presumably her husband.
Handing off the boards to another worker, Azusa picked up his shirt and tied it around his waste as he headed over to the downed Masae. He stopped in front of her and knelt down, calmly taking the gauze and ointment from her hands."Here, let me take a look at that."He offered, looking at the wound on her forehead."It is only a small gash. Are you alright? Do you feel dizzy?"Azusa asked, needing to make sure that she wasn't concussed. He begun patching her up, cleaning up the wound and smearing a little ointment over it so it'd heal up nicely. He'd then work on her shoulder, bandaging that up in the process. Despite his gruff Azusa was quite delicate with his hands, he knew a few things concerning medicine, at least the basics of first aid anyway.

Even though Lyre went out of her way to assist the two, who may or may not be a couple, her presence alone seemed to be as thin as paper. The thick thighs girl seemed to be too thirsty to mind anything else, as she even spaced out the moment she found the shirtless man. Even so, she did not harbor any resentment. In fact, she knew that the two had their own things to mind. Also, unlike Masae, Lyre's thirst was frequently sated so she knew how to keep it under control. Maybe it would not be a bad idea to teach Masae how to achieve that. 'Teaching those thighs...' But Lyre had a focused mind. So she would not go out of her way to offer these services, even though she had the unique two in one characteristic that made her a very efficient teacher. Nevertheless, work came first. Someone had to. Lyre did not know it herself but she was actually amazing to be able to work efficiently and safely even though her mind was busy with things that were not safe for work. While assisting in the removal of debris, the mink woman allowed her thoughts to roam freely in the world of fantasy that may or may not involve Masae's thighs and Azusa's... Azusa's everything. The only thing that may hint she was thinking of something that others would often consider to be improper was her almost inaudible laughter. "Fufufufufu..." was how it sounded. Aside from that, she was able to maintain a pretty much perfect smile that had nothing dirty about it. And she would have kept her cool if not for someone shouting that there was a pirate nearby.
Lyre turned around abruptly, sparks seeming to come out of the shovel she was using to dig around the pile of sand and debris. When Lyre detected the direction the voice was coming from, she noticed a woman who seemed to throw something at someone. When Lyre followed the apparent direction the woman was facing, she found that her target was no other than Masae. Next the woman threw a brick that hit Masae's shoulder and made her fall on the sand. The woman's husband appeared right after and took her back while apologizing. Lyre was ready to throw the shovel as if it was a javelin in case the woman was not just a traumatized victim of the earlier attack the town suffered. She made sure to observe them as they would leave while keeping her guard up. If they were actually people infiltrated there with the intent of creating chaos, she wanted to make sure to stop them beforehand. But that did not seem to be the case. Having stopped her work temporarily, she walked over to the wounded girl in order to check up on her. Being beaten to it by Azusa, she didn't even get the opportunity to offer to lick Masae's wounds like a good wolf. But did not bother her, instead she thought that it was an interesting thing to see. A man like him being so dexterous with his hands, while handling Masae's injuries. "Are you okay?" she would ask upon approaching.
Masae heard someone come over, and as she looked up, almost dropped her gauze. Azusa was next to her. Shirtless…. She couldn’t look away, he was tending to her injuries. Lyre came up to her and was concerned. She appreciated that so much. While Azusa was busy taking care of her, she was fidgeting with her hair, before ehe began to ask her questions. The maiden blushed, and replied,
“ I-I’m fine… That just shocked me…thats all.”
She explained, looking up at him when he was finished. Hey eyes fell on his tattoo, and she seemed to be in another trance. However, she broke out of it relatively quickly, and looked around.
“ Ah…it seems people are doing better than when we got here.”
She murmured, taking Azusa’s hand to help her up. She brushed off the dirt from her thighs, and proceeded to pick up the jewelry box.
“ I think someone may be looking for this… A lot of valuables.”
She explained, knowing this tiny box got her in trouble in the first place. Just because she didn’t have her rank on her didn’t mean she was a bad person! It was even on her gloves, and she never ever took those off. Masae left it on a small table, which had survived the attack, and hoped whoever was the owner would find it. Turning to Azusa, she smiled,
“ Should we move on? It seems a blounty was placed on someone just now.”
She said, gesturing to the noisy Den Den. Turning it off, Masae made sure to let Lyre know that she had done a great job.

After getting a call that the Reverse Mountain was in need of some help she quickly headed straight for it, as there was a quick line to the Reverse Mountain given by the marines she quickly made her way to the first island she came across which was Whiskey Peak. Coming back from the marine head quarters she had recently been given a new rank. For her outstanding behavior and call to battle to protect the innocence from a dangerous pirate she was given a new rank, Lieutenant Junior Grade. It was quite the rank up for her since she was just a Chore Girl, but now she was one step closer of becoming an officer. Once she landed on the island she looked around to see that there were many people hurt and the place was a disaster, which wasn't good; she quickly ran towards an injured pair of people who looked very injured. Taking out her fist aid kit she knelt down next to them and started to treat them and comfort them while asking questions. "What happened here? Who did this?" Xandria asked as the civilians looked up at her helping them fix them up as they gave a light smile from the help and nodded. "Pirates.... They think they can do whatever they want here and do as they please, we're glad that at least you marines are here to help and save us. Please we're doing ok, we were on our way to help another couple that was stuck under a house, please you must save them!" Xandria nodded quickly as she stood up and ran towards the are they pointed at, once she got there she watched as some people were trying to lift up some rubble from hearing pleads coming from under it. Xandria walked up to the rubble as she rolled up her sleeve and was about to help until a bigger and taller man stopped her saying. "Hey whoa I see that you're with the marines but let us bigger guys handle this little one." Xandria gave a small smile as she folded her arms and allowed them to try to lift the rubble, already knowing they wouldn't really get far; watching them try to lift up the rubble but getting no where she would move in and push him to the side and smiled. [b]"Excuse me sir let me give it a try." Xandria might not look strong but she did have muscles and she was pretty strong herself, placing both of her hands to the rubble she felt her muscles tense up and lifted with her legs and moved the rubble up high enough for people to come in and rescue the couple. when the couple was saved she dropped the rubble down and walked up to the big man. Patting his hip she smiled saying. "Its all in the legs, not your back mister, keep up the good work though I have to be elsewhere." Xandria said as she ran off to see that the other marines were working their hardest to help the good people out of this town, she went on her boat to go help out any other islands nearby that needed her help.
