"Ooh..." A surprised gasp came from Yuna as she walked out upon the deck of the Winding Way. Her boots threaded softly against the wooden deck as she peered out at the city before her, spotting faint glow of many bonfires burning in the evening mist.

A small smile appeared on her face once she spotted the crowd wandering up the gangplank of the theater ship. Yuna wasn't sure what kind of celebrations would be held this evening upon the Winding Way but she certainly did not mind to lead a hand or two.

"Maybe we should start playing some music..." Yuna thought out loud as she wondered silently if the Way's band would be playing a tune or two this evening.

As Yuna stopped to consider what to do next, a sudden blur of motion zoomed past her. The blur lifted up off into the air, bounced off a few nearby barrels, flipped, then landed next to her.

Beat smirked from a top his airbaord at the young woman, winking before turning back to the small crowd he had managed to gather, laughing and bowing. Like hell he wasn't going to help the Way entertaing the party-goers!

Vash stepped onto the top deck, sipping a big mug of coffee as he took a moment to look over the growing party.

It looked like a promising crowd, and even more than that, he'd gotten a glimpse of the spread, which looked even more promising. He was planning on having a few drinks later, too, once the sun had risen and the party was winding down. For now, he was just trying to make sure he could stay away long enough to keep an eye on everything.

With that in mind, he grinned and slipped into the still-unfinished bar area where the food had been set up, as if a tall man in red could possibly be stealthy.

It hadn't taken Wolfwood long to find the Winding Way - not only was it a generally flashy sort of ship (or so he thought; those lights concealed a lot), but it was also the only well-lit place at the docks. He walked through the outskirts of the growing crowd, trying to look as casual as a man in black could at a party. It worked well enough, considering he'd left the Punisher back at his hotel

[stampeded]

Vash had left his coffee at one of the tables in favor of the food - which he had mostly managed to to carry by getting both his arms under the third plate, though it kept wobbling precariously.

He answered automatically, smiling and cheerful, "Sure I will! I'm starving." It was only then that he got a good look at the other man. It was no one he recognized, though the guy didn't quite look like a resident... but all the black had to be for the Vohemaro celebrations, wasn't it? Though most of the partygoers Vash had seen wore both the colors instead of just one.

"Ah, hold on..." He slowly made his way over to the table where he'd left his coffee, dropping the plates there. The food piled on them shifted alarmingly, but somehow, none of it fell off.

Wolfwood raised his eyebrows at the precarious stacking of donuts. "Man, I don't envy you that appetite one bit." He re-balanced a particularly dangerous looking stack and snagged a plain doughnut as a prize.

"So," Wolfwood continued speaking around his mouth-full of doughnut, "You with the ship, or just hear for the cheap 'n plentiful food?"

A small round stage had been set up, the sound of exotic stringed instruments plucking out a broken up melody. There was too much going on for her to be the center of attention, but Xiao Qiao didn’t mind. No, not at all actually, forever who would watch though, she would dance

[sugarforteatime]

L took in most of Xiao's dance, the awkward dance movements somehow managed to match the beat of the music but at the same time not exactly be melodic. He was surprised it was such a draw, but it was nice to see people were enjoying the show.

After the dance, he clapped lightly.

If everyone was going to perform that well, it would not be long before they would be able to get back on their feet in no time.

[smallestgrace]

She didn’t bow, jumped off the stage in one last flip. Her little crowd in the midst of the bigger crowd wasn’t a whole lot but Xiao Qiao danced for herself as much as she danced for her audience.

Ryuzsaki blended in so well, with his dark hair and dark eyes, like a ghoul staring from the night even without a costume. Xiao Qiao hopped over to him cheerfully, “Boo~”

It had been so strange, finding herself on this ship and the events that seemed to all tumble forward at once after. Tumbled so much that she’d seen the captain changed twice. “Busy, busy night isn’t it, Captain?” It was fun and exciting, but a bit lonely as well. Even though she chattered like a lively little bird she hadn’t really made any friends.

Not that she thought talking to their strange new captain would mean befriending him.

[sugarforteatime]

"Yes, it has been. I have made several rounds and seen most of the performances. I am very satisfied." That was, of course, high praise coming from him. He probably should try to be more enthusiastic and vibrant about the whole thing, but mostly he considered Vash to be the smiling face of the Way, not him.

"The dance you performed was quite different from many of the traditional forms of either country. It was surprising." It wasn't often he saw a dance or a cultural display that he wasn't at least passingly familiar with.

"Do you require water or something to eat?" He was doing his best to be a little more aware of the crews' needs.

Milk was out of her Milky Rose costume and into a purple hooded cloak with glittery white stars. Her booth was surrounded with similar purple drapes, separating her and her client from the lineup and the rest of the party. She'd taken the nearest shiny round object of the correct size, and it seemed to be doing the job, although some people had asked why the crystal ball was covered in sequins. The sign outside her booth was written in every colour of ink they had lying around on the ship:

MADAME MURASAKI

TELLS YOUR FORTUNE

[reaperbait]

Rhyme was completely thrilled by all of the sights and sounds that the party had to offer. She'd never seen anything like it.

She was between her own acts of magic and sparkles and making this 'disappear', so she was actually able to enjoy some of the other shows that the crew were putting on. As far as she was concerned, Long Night was great fun.

She continued around and even picked up a popcorn ball from the snack stand - which she paid for - and continued to much happily and browse. Supposedly there were going to be fireworks soon. That was what she was most looking forward to.

[curry_ramen]

Nearby, at the ka-bob stand, a sweating and heavyly breathing Beat was just turning away with a yummy meat stick half hanging out of his mouth and his air-board under one arm. He had been doing his part in the entertainment department, but now was food time. Had to fill the tank, ya know?

It was then that he spotted Rhyme. He waved without thinking, whistling to get her attention.

"Yoooo!! Rhyme!!"

[reaperbait]

"Beat?" She turned around and took another bite of her popcorn ball. "What have you been doing? You look like you ran a marathon."

It was the first time she had seen him since he came on the ship. She hadn't exactly been avoiding him, but she hadn't specifically been seeking him out either.

She thought about giving him a hug, but she was going to have to go back on performing and she didn't want to get all sweaty. She was wearing a relatively cute little pink-orange dress with a frilly white skirt. It was completely not her style, but it was part of the act.

[curry_ramen]

Beat tore a bit chunk out of his meat, chewing and grinning. "Been performin', yo. Gotta pull my weight, ya dig?"

He looked at her dress, blinking. "Whata 'bout you? What's with the froo-froo?"
