no subject
[He says it easily and a bit distracted as he surveys the wrecks again and then swims down the path a bit further. And he'd obviously wrestle the shark for dominance before making it a friend, duh.]
Odds are, they aren't gonna be super easy to spot, but sure. Let's get a closer look.
no subject
How soon do you think plants would start growin on a sunken ship anyways?
[this one seems to be a mixture of metal and wood rather than the classic wooden pirate ships of lore...]
no subject
Well, plants tend to like water. There's a lot of that here.
no subject
Guess we'll find out. I'll leave any we come across to you.
no subject
Why? You look like you can take care of yourself.
no subject
[might as well leave that to the one who knows how to handle them, right? dabi's content to look around the ship while lance tangles with weird seaweed.]
no subject
If there's any mind controlling garden around here like the one I ran into all you gotta do is not eat anything.
[But he highly doubts it would be the same or that simple.]
no subject
[raw seaweed isn't the greatest to drag out of the ocean and take a bite from. usually it's treated one way or another, dried or cooked or flavored or added to, etc.
dabi comes to a stop in front of the ship. wood and metal, almost like a fusion of a stereotypical pirate ship and the beginnings of an iron-age ship.]
Start at the top or the bottom?
no subject
Hey, what should I call you if I need to warn you about a giant monster behind you?
[He supposes he could just yell out 'Hey look out!' or 'Dude, behind you!' but what if they're joined by someone else? He'd need to get specific… and something like 'Franken Mouth' could end up being the first thing out of his own mouth (that could still happen anyway because he's an idiot). Then he looks to the ship.]
Bottom. That's usually where cool junk falls in spooky shipwrecks, right?
no subject
[bit of sardonic humor for you. lance probably thought it already, but whatever.
he's been called worse than that. even if it'd still get lance a quick dagger eye. urusei, shark bait. he focuses back on the ship. there's no hole in the side of the hold, so the easy way in is taken out unless dabi wants to try and blowtorch their way in. which would take longer and more effort than usual due to flame underwater...
guess they're going up.]
Always thought it was in the captain's quarters.
no subject
[Then he looks back to the wreck, thoughtfully. That is a good point, but doesn't all the wood rot and heavy stuff fall through? He's seen it in past wrecks he's explored, but also seen the opposite, so both of them could be right, but he's a competitive guy.]
Not always! How many actual wrecks've you explored?
no subject
swimming towards the deck, dabi's not cutting the most graceful figure, more a hand over hand freestylist than an ocean-bred water baby. but all he wants is to get his hand on the railing so he can clap it and pull himself over onto the deck. there are a few masts, sails full of holes and tattered in places, still waving ghosting in the occasional currents above. plenty of areas on the deck have rotten open or fallen (or been smashed) inward, revealing the dark depths of the poorly-lit hull below.
couple cannons with their orbular ammo nearby, some old coils of thick rope, chains on wheels for hauling anchors , barrels that are both open and still sealed shut. it's a pretty busy deck, all things considered.
a few skeletons...]
This' my third one here.
no subject
Lance frowns and follows, definitely much more practiced at swimming. He is very much an ocean bred water baby and though he was trailing at first, he quickly reaches the railing. One might say even before Dabi, but he's not about to make a thing of it right now. There's skeletons here, which he's pretty numb to but still should give cause for caution.]
Third, huh. Looks like we got an expert here.
no subject
stooping down, dabi swipes a bit of loose chain and drapes it on his shoulders to keep him weighted, enabling him to "walk" around the deck for a while without floating off. the place looks busier than other ships he's seen, with plenty of items on the deck. immediately heading for the nearest skeleton, dabi starts raiding the ragged clothing on the bones. looking for anything interesting.] Not much a ship expert, but startin at the top and goin down's a good idea.
no subject
[Then he sighs and follows Dabi's path along the chain, not bothering to weigh himself down. Yes, he's gonna continue to show off that he's a strong swimmer. And if this guy stubbornly wants to go his way, he's gonna watch his dumb back while taking what ego fluffing points he can.]
Fine, whatever. But I dunno that a literal skeleton's gonna have much on it, man.
no subject
noting lance not putting on anything to weigh him down, dabi momentarily glares at him from the corner of his eye. show off. and stands up from looting the skeleton. a small, worn pouch of what feels like rounded items? an old dagger that's seen better days. and a revolver of sorts. he heads towards lance, handing over the dagger and gun if he wants to check them out.] Unless he died naked, there's gonna be some stuff on them.
[keeping the pouch. it takes little to perforate it and a few marble-like glass balls fall out into his hand. interestin... maybe a kind of game on the deck?]
Think the captain's quarters are that way. [and points towards the back of the ship.]
no subject
Ah, but that glare gives him life, he spins into a relaxed back stroke as he follows along next to Dabi and his chain. Yes, he looks terribly smug and that's on purpose.]
Maybe he did and someone just covered him up after. And those look like some kinda sex toy if you ask me. So I'm totally right!
[He grins impishly and then swims on ahead to the supposed location to the Captain's Quarters.] See ya there!
no subject
[and if they do, they'll be pretty easy to spot swimming towards the ship through open water or walking along the glowing trail. the two of them simply have to keep an eye out occasionally.
that backstroke is done on purpose... the smug look proves it. meaning dabi's reaching up to slide the chain off from his neck and shoulders while they walk, holding it in his hands instead.]
Don't think ya spend a lot of time durin a shipwreck dressin up your dead crew mates.
[calling marbles sex toys earns a wry look. right before dabi bluntly drops the chain on lance's stomach the moment he tries swimming ahead of him.]
After you.
[and keeps float/stalking ahead. even if he shoved off and swam, he's pretty sure the other man'll overtake him once he gets out of the chain. still worth it.]
no subject
[He says flippantly with his eyes closed, so he doesn't see when the chain comes down on him. He lets out an 'oof!' as the wind (or water?) is knocked out of him and his back hits the deck.]
H-hey! That's cheating!
[He gets free of the chain and pushes himself up on his feet to swim after Dabi.]
