Cra-Wump! SPLA-PLASH!
"SERIOUSLY?! HOW DID YOU MISS THAT FISHBONES?!"
"Well if you considered actually using real ammuni-"
"SHADDUP!"
The pale shipwright of the Broken Chopsticks slapped her carronade out of frustration as 'he' snarked at her. For the larger part of the last hour she had been firing the thing at a small raft she had made from rotted planks from throughout the ship, using the trash from her maintenance as a makeshift target to practice on.
She had yet to hit the little raft floating 50 yards behind the ship, in a calm sea, with negligible cross-wind.
If anyone had been looking at the increasingly angry shipwright, one would notice two things that weren't helping her. Firstly, she spent half her time arguing with the carronade, Fishbones. As odd as it seemed, her mannerism of changing her voice to that of Fishbones (A very respectable voice play of a stuffy, overindulged noble with juuust the right amount of nasal tone), and making the shark-face 'look' her way had the habit of pulling her shot off-target at the moment of firing. Secondly, and probably most relevant, was the fact she wasn't firing cannonballs. For the last hour she had been taking the black powder, punching it down Fishbone's throat, and then topping it off from a pile of bent nails, damaged planks, and scraps from new planks before firing it. While it made for a very noticable spray of burning projectiles and undoubtedly lethal flak, it was hardly useful for hitting the small-ish target she had set up.
"Again! This time hit the thing!"
"Oh, Get some real am-urk!"
"And stay quiet!"

I will hunt you down... With a loud yawn the swordsman found himself lying on the floor of the ship run by the Broken Chopsticks, he was trying to sleep the main thing here being TRYING. There was a loud ear piercing booming sound echoing into his senses every time he tried to get comfortable enough to pass out, the sound would boom into existence stirring him from his elusive sleep. Sitting up the man turned in the direction of the sound there he saw her, the pale shipwright making a ruckus with her cannonade. Standing from his sitting position the pirate would walk over towards the girl, stopping just a few inches to her left hand side he would quietly observe the woman as she continued to talk to her weapon. When she suddenly fired off again this time the swordsman got a good chance to see what she was firing, he may prefer swords now but back in the days when he was Captain of his own crew firearms were his calling.
Although now he had been out of the loop when it came to firearms, he at least had one lesson he could teach his fellow crew mate. "If you fail to respect your weapon, then in turn your weapon will fail you" his voice was accompanied by his appearance as he stepped further towards the edge of the ship next to the girl. He would stare out at the target she was intending to hit, from the looks of it she was not faring so well with hitting the intended mark; with a deep sigh he would shake his head. Reaching for the girls cannon he placed his hand on its rough surface, "A weapon is not a tool V, its an extension of yourself...this isn't about aiming the cannon, and just shooting. Its about understanding the role this weapon plays, the role of its existence in your arsenal..." looking at the far off target he would turn away arms crossed, and rear resting on the railing.
"Respect the weapon for what it is, and understand its role...when you aim feel yourself in the moment, focus entirely on what you wish to do, and the damage you intend to cause. Like you throw a fist you know it will smash, so when you fire..will it pierce?" with deep silence now the swordsman let his words sink in, and hopefully have a positive affect on the girl.

She hadn't been part of the crew long, so Rose didn't really know anyone on board aside from the Captain. Not helped by the fact that she spent most of that short time practicing her technique- a necessary part of being skilled, of course. And even though she usually kept her ears hidden underneath the hat she never seemed to take off, she liked to let her tail hang out on the boat- trying to cover it up usually lead to it getting sore from being held in place for so long. Currently Rose was at the back of the ship, facing the wall in a small area off to the side. She quickly drew her sidearm and pulled the trigger quickly, the loud clicking sound of an empty chamber filling the room. A quick twirl of the gun as she moved her arm to the side and pulled the trigger again. Reached behind her with the arm holding the gun and tossed it up over her head, catching it with her other hand and snapping it forward to pull off another shot. But this time when she pulled the trigger, a loud bam rocked the floorboards, and it didn't take a genius to figure out that it was coming from somewhere nearby. Curious, the cat moved back towards the front of the boat to see what was going on... Just in time for her to watch the cyborg fire some sort of debris from her cannon into the water.
Her interest was piqued, but the appearance of a male kept her from approaching for a short while. When she did finally decide to creep out of the shadows, she was spinning her revolver on her pointer finger, only holstering it once she moved beside the pair, placing her other hand against her brow like a visor to keep the sun out of her eyes to look at the raft floating nearby. "A flak cannon, hn? Doesn't seem like the right sort of target for something like that, though. Would need a balloon or something..." The girl drew the shotgun from it's holster slung across her back and curled her left arm, resting the longgun on top of it while keeping her right hand on the handle, gazing down the sights at the shoddy raft. "Pew pew!" She pulled the arm holding the gun back with each sound, as if she were actually feeling the recoil from her imaginary shots. When she was finished, she reholstered the shotgun and giggled, turning back to the pair to see if they had anything more to say.

Pounding the various planks, nails, and miscellaneous sharp objects into the cannon, Violet eyed the swordsman that she had met when she had been discovered on the ship. Rather, she looked at him as if he had grown a third big toe on his forehead.
"RESPECT?! How do you want me to respect fishbones when he's such a wimp?!"
"*cough!* How DARE you?! I am a sophisticated and cultured member of the aristocracy, I DEMA-"
"SHADDUP!"
Shouldering the the carronade, she fired, this time the center-of-flak being perfectly on target...which obviously meant the flak made a perfect ring around the raft. She stared at the ring of splashes before throwing fishbones down with a shout, and pointing an accusing finger at it. Her gaze went from the gun to Bunji and the new girl that had walked up, the ringing in the pale shipwright's ears making it near-impossible to hear what she had said.
"YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE! I AIMED PERFECTLY! You saw that right? I loaded the shot perfectly and aimed perfectly!"
Feeling defeated, she plopped on the ground and glared at fishbones, mumbling a bitter "Why can't I hit it...?" While looking at the new girl. She let the cannon fall with a thunk, making sure it didn't land on anyone's toes, and took up two planks, playing with them as a child might play with toy ships for a minute before leaning onto the girl's leg as she continued pouting. "I did just like those navy people did, and they always made the raft explode! Why do I just get a ton of random splashes?! It's not faiiiir..."

I will hunt you down...
The swordsman remained quiet, since he was turned away from the target that V was trying to hit, he found himself spotting the unfamiliar face approaching them; normally he did not take well to strangers, but he figured if this cat woman was on board she was here because of Yumi. The red eyed man could not help but wonder where Yumi was finding all these people, they all seemed to simply pop in out of nowhere he was sure there were plenty others in this crew he had yet to meet; something that had to change soon. When the woman approached he remained, observing them both V was putting on quite the spectacle, and it seemed that she had fallen down both literally since she was down on her knees, and figuratively. Bunji would walk over towards V, "We are a crew..." he said reaching down for fishbone, the weapon this girl spoke to on a daily basis. Surprised at the weight he used both hands to raise it from where it lay, "...to an extent, we have sworn allegiance to the Captain of this ship, and to march under the flag which she raises to the skies. So as a crew, as a single unit it is in our best interest that every one of us is in tip top shape..." pausing again he handed the weapon back to the girl. "Don't give up so easily V, take the weapon that is rightfully yours and stand to your feet again..." the male gave his crew mate a soft smile "I will stand out here all day with you until you hit a target. So let's get started" he added waiting for her to take her cherished weapon from his hands.
Once the weapon was taken he would look up at the other woman, rising to his full height Bunji gave her a nod of the head "I agree with you, if we can get our hands on some balloons. Then maybe she can have an easier time hitting the targets...from what I see she's shooting shrapnel from the weapon. Creating a scattered shot like a blunderbuss, so its harder to focus her aim...or..." sparking an idea to his mind Bunji looked overboard to where the raft which hed the girls target was tied to. "If we shorten the range between her, and her target...maybe she'll have better luck" he said not entirely realizing that he could suggest the use of regular cannonballs but then again he figured V preferred to fire off these scattered shots? Whatever the case Bunji would work with what he had, turning to the gun using woman again he gave her another nod of the head "I'm Bunji by the way, and you are?"

Rose rubbed her chin as she watched the scene unfold and let out a little sigh, taking a step forward and leaning over so that she could rest her elbow on the railing, then hold her head up by resting her cheek against the raised arm, using her free hand to noisily drum her fingers against the wood. "The Marines, huh...? They don't use flak cannons like that. Not usually. They use normal cannons..." The Ocelot lazily gestured to Fishbones with a flick of her hand, "Not that that thing is anything like a normal cannon to begin with..."
Even though she ignored the male's blathering about loyalty and group cohesion or whatever else, her ears perked up a little at his inquiry. She drew one of her revolvers and gave it a little spin before suddenly spinning herself, barely taking time to aim as she pointed the gun at the small raft and pulled the trigger six times in quick succession. The gun had been empty, so there was only the soft click of an empty barrel instead of the roar of a successful shot. A slight smile crossed her face as she broke the action on the revolver, snapping the cylinder out of place so that she could pull a single bullet out of her pocket and slid it into the chamber before setting it back into place with flick of her wrist, "Revolver Ocelot..." Her yellow and black spotted tail flicked from side to side at the mention of her 'breed' as she spun the cylinder, tapping the trigger to stop it once it was sufficiently 'randomized'. With that out of the way, she pressed the gun against the other girl's head and pulled the trigger. Click. Rose's smile widened a little bit. "If you wanna hit it, let me give you an extra helping of motivation. Each time you miss, I'll pull the trigger. If you manage to hit it, then... I'll fulfill one request. So long as it's nothing like 'Forever serve me!' or something equally unreasonable. Okay~?"

Sighing from where she sat, Violet listened to everything the swordsman had said before nodding and accepting Fishbones back from him, one hand raising the carronade to her shoulder and her other hand beginning the loading process anew. Looking at the swordsamn she gave a small smile.
"If you say so...here goes nothing!"
She let stabby-pointy guy talk to the lady with the cute tail as she punched the wadding to the bottom of Fishbone's "mouth" before she froze at the feeling of a barrel pressed against her head. Hearing the rules of the little 'game' the tail-lady-person had started, Vi immediately knew how to respond.
It's completely logical for an insane person at least...
Turning to look down the barrel of the gun, she fired the cannon, blindly missing the raft before reloading and repeating the process again. Four times she loaded the cannon, peered down the gun, then blindly missed the raft, tho the center-of the ring of flak was always near the raft. Had she been using a real cannonball she would most likely hit the raft by now. Given her choice of ammunition though, she never got closer than a few meters.
As she loaded the final shot into Fishbones, she looked back at the cat-lady-person, and held up a bent fork she had found somewhere while repairing the kitchen area. She eyed the lady-person carefully as she put the fork in last, pushing the wadding into the cannon carefully as she spoke.
"Hey lady-person, how about double-or-nuthin'? If I can hit it this time, you gimme two request-thingies? (How do you even double or nothing a bet on one's li-Shaddup Fishy!)

I will hunt you down... He observed after the woman revealed her name he would make sure to remember it, she was in the crew after all so despite the vibe he got from the woman he knew eventually at some point he would be stuck working with her. Such had been the case many times when he Captained his own crew, the man once known as Demon Eyes now stood here along with V, and a woman who had an odd thing for shooting empty guns around. It was then that he watched her very unorthodox method of inspiring V to hit her mark, four shots it was in the following four shorts that he realized where the mistake was. It was not the aim, it was the type of ammunition that V had stuffed into her barrel the shots were scattering as he had mentioned before, yet it seemed that on the fifth V had also picked up on this minor flaw. He observed quietly as she stuffed the bent fork into the barrel was that all she intended to fire? So she was going to shoot a more concentrated shot as opposed to a scattered wall of debris.
Bunji would take his eyes from the two women staring at the intended target,he remained quiet the entire time his mind piecing together the puzzle that was the minor dilemma his crew mate found herself dealing with. He still believed pulling that raft closer would help, but for now he would allow V to do things her way; besides it would seem she had figured it out. At least he was led to believe such when she sounded so confident asking the woman to double her wager, knowing V she would ask for something outlandish after this was done he was glad he had not partaken in the wager. Instead he liked to think his words had an effect on her, she did stand to try again after all; each of them had played apart in this event today both himself, and Rose now it was time to see if their labor would bare any fruit.

Rose couldn't help but sigh. How hopeless could this girl really be? And where the heck was she getting all this debris from? She stared at the crazed Cyborg before shifting her gaze to the male and smiled. A flick of the wrist reopened the cylinder, allowing her to slot a second bullet into place, but made a big show of tilting the gun down so that both of them could see the next two pulls of the trigger would result in two successful shots. Then used her thumb to rotate it slightly to the side, allowing for one more blank shot before reaching the chambered bullets. Once that was out of the way, she snapped the cylinder back into place and giggled, "Mmm. Okay~ If you lose, then after I shoot you..." She rose the gun and pointed it at the male, squeezing the trigger wistfully. Click. "Your friend gets his skull ventilated as well."
Still, even though she didn't particularly like losing... the girl was just completely scatterbrained. Since this was her last try, she may as well impart some words of wisdom, "Why don't you like... use a cannonball or something?" She gestured with her hands, moving them in a spherical shape, "You know, about yea big... made of metal. Meant for being shot out of cannons. Can't miss it."

Grinning as her double-up was accepted, Violet shouldered Fishbones and had been about to fire when gun-lady-gambly-person mentioned 'canonballs'. Stopping her actions, she turned and looked at the girl, looking at her like she were the insane one on the boat.
"Cannonball? Everyone knows those things don't exist! everyone just puts in random junk and fires it like that!-
-You should consider what the lady is saying though, I have been trying to tell you for months that they do exi-
-Shaddup! I gotz an idea!"
Dropping Fishbones for a moment she dashed into the captain's quarters, digging out something she had found during a recent visit to the docks. Coming back, she held her ace-in-the-sleeve aloft. Smiling at the thing, Vi could practically hear a choir singing in glory to her stroke genius with this thing. It was a little awkward because it was really just...
A giant coconut.
Pressing the thing into Fishbone's barrel, she proceeded to pack it into the cannon using her arm, literally punching the nut until it was settled into the bottom of the barrel. Shouldering the carronade again, she lifted her aim a bit and fired. The coconut was easy to track, by virtue of the thing being aflame, wind playing with the smoke contrail as the seed sailed upwards, arced at the top of its flight, then came back down.
Right into the middle of the raft. where it landed and continued to burn and smoke merrily
Meanwhile Violet had her eyes closed, having shut them before firing. In a slightly curious voice she asked.
"Did I hit it?"

I will hunt you down... He did not take very kindly to having a gun aimed at him, when he heard the click which where followed by the woman's words Bunji only stared at her with a pretty flat expression on his face, and his red eyes remained fixed on her. Joking or not, if she ever did aim that firearm at him with live ammunition in it Bunji would make sure to slice her arm off. Regardless the red head said nothing, he didn't even move he only watched quietly at the scene that was unfolding setting down her weapon once more the girl was rushing to the Captain's quarters, she was after all sharing them with Yumi. Not long after she emerged with a giant coconut, this caused the swordsman to raise an eyebrow in curiosity as he eyed the pale skinned woman whom approached the duo again the coconut held firmly in her hands. When the girl finally made it back to the spot the trio was on, she would proceed to stuff the coconut down the barrel of the cannon she used, Bunji watched quietly as the woman would rest the weapon on her shoulder then fired.
The loud bang that rang into his ears caused the swordsman to shut his eyes the loud bang leaving a very feint ringing in his ears the male would watch quietly as the coconut rocketed up to the skies. His red eyes trailed its path, the coconut would move in an arc plummeting down towards the raft that the girl had been trying to it much to her surprise when she'd open her eyes the coconut had hit its mark. Bunji only stared from over his shoulder, watching as the coconut rested on the wooden surface of the makeshift raft that had been thrown together by V. The swordsman would smile taking his eyes away from the successful firing of her cannon, "Well done V" he spoke to her in his usual deep tone, "Open your eyes, and witness the fruit of your...creative labor. You have succeeded in hitting your mark, now if I do recall Rose owes you two requests" he commented shooting a glance at the gun wielding woman. Wondering just what V would request of her, he knew the girl from limited interactions that the two had so he knew that she was missing a few screws; it would be interesting to see what she came up with.

After listening to the conversation between the girl and her... cannon, Rose couldn't help but sigh and tap the barrel of her own gun against her forehead. Where was this girl running off to now...? When she finally returned, Rose couldn't help but let her jaw drop. A giant nut?! She was going to shoot a giant nut? The Ocelot froze in place for a few moments before finally shrugging and lifting the gun in V's direction, fully expecting to have to put the dear crazy girl down. But imagine her surprise when the nut actually flew true and struck the intended target. She lost her grip on the gun in her hand, letting it flip upside down as she stared at the girl in disbelief, "Y-You... hit it? With a nut?!" It wasn't until the male brought up the terms of their bet- well, her bet that she was finally shaken to reality, holstering her gun as she crossed her arms under her breasts, looking off to the side with a loud huff, "S-Stupid... with a nut? Really... well, meh."

Taking a moment to process the swordsman's comment, as well as the pistol-lady's reaction, Violet finally cracked open her eyes, squinting to the raft and noticing the burning nut. Staring at the raft she turned from the edge of the boat to look at the swordsman, then to the pistoleer, then to Fishbones, before looking back at Bunji and tackling him in a hug.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I couldn't have done it without you~-
-What about me?! I had a portion in this succ-
-You know what I mean Fishbones!"
Before the cannon could retort, the pale-skinned shipwright turned to the pistol-lady-person and looked at her with a silly grin. Looking at her for a momment she considered what she might request from the lady. Failing to come up with anything on her own, she turned to her sage councilor, Fishbones.
"Hey, Fishbones.-
-Yes?-
-Ummm....you know what I should ask?-
-Typical...I thought for a minute you would actually have had two requests ready when you doubled-up-
-Well I only did that 'cause they do that in the movi-
-Don't break the fourth wall! Now let's see...howabout being allowed to inspect that gun of hers? We might get something useful from that, and maybe we can als-
-Shaddup! Good idea Fishy, but I know just what to ask for the second one!<3"
Turning back to the loser of the bet, Violet smiled and made her two requests, one hand hefting Fishbones on her shoulder so the carronade could 'watch', with the other hand pointing to the two objects of her requests. Her voice left very little room for arguments.
"Okay! I gots my requests! First, lemme take a look at your gun, I wanna look at the spinny-thinga-mahjigs and whose-its in it! Secondly....I wanna pet your tail~<3"

I will hunt you down... A smirk crept across his features as he heard the interaction between the two women, the swordsman even had to hold back a laugh that threatened to be louder than it really was but managed to escape as a chuckle, he would cover his mouth letting himself enjoy the moment. V had not let him down, the first request seemed reasonable he figured there was a reason behind her wanting to see the woman's guns, but the second well that was the one that hit his funny bone. Red eyes would shut for a moment as he shook his head feeling glad he had not made such a bet with V, instead he had a front row seat to the girls madness turning his attention towards the duo he would quietly observe. Arms where crossed over his chest, and his swords remained tucked inside their respective scabbards; the red haired swordsman was curious as to see how the gun wielding woman would react to the second request. She did seem a little stuck up after all, at least to him the way she was freely aiming those guns however also hinted that like the rest of the crew she may have had some screws missing upstairs. However this event would turn out he would gladly sit on the sidelines, and watch it all unfold into one grand spectacle.

Even though she's lost fair and square... it was still ridiculous. A nut?! Even Rose couldn't make that shot with a nut. At least, she didn't think so. On the other hand, she couldn't lift a small cannon with apparent ease either... She rubbed her temples at first... before suddenly slapping herself to make sure that she wasn't dreaming. "Nhm. Fine. A deal's a deal..." She listened to the girl's first request and nodded absentmindedly, removing her belts to hang them on the railing so that she could take the revolvers out of their holsters fairly easily. But when she got to her second request... The Ocelot felt her ears flatten against her head and her tail curl between her legs as her eyes widened. T-The girl wanted to touch her tail? No, more than that, to pet it?! That was... it was...! Rose hesitated for a moment before turning around so that her back was facing the other girl, pushing her hat down over her face to hide her expression while placing her other hand on the railing to hold herself up with. "O...okay. J-Just be gentle...please..."
