Strax smirks at Law's enthusiasm and nods. "Well, if you are certain you can do it, I would love to come along and help you acquire the gold and immortality." Despite being a lush, Law seemed pretty charismatic, and seemed like he would be fun to adventure with. Besides, with the four of them, Strax was certain they could steal any treasure on any planet, even despite the obvious disagreements between himself and Neku.
Strax looks to Charlotte and realizes she is right. He really hasn't told any of them much about himself. "My apologies. My home world was a far off place called Okamigimi, which fell to darkness. When it fell, I was attacked by Heartless, losing my heart along the way. When I awoke as a Nobody, I spent years wandering around." Strax decided he should probably tell them about his abilities, after all, it would make it easier for everyone to strategize for battles and stealth. It would also make it easier for them to trust him. "I have a few powers too. I have mastery over Wind, I am a powerful Psychic user, and I am a werewolf who can control his transformations. I don't have to change at full moons, and I don't have to wait for a full moon either. It is an at will transformation" Strax leans back and whistles for the bar maid to bring Law another drink. He then turns to Law and winks. He holds out his empty hand and suddenly two gold coins appear. He hands the coins to the bar maid as she drops off the drink and she walks away. "As long as I'm in the same room, these illusion coins will continue to exist. But once I walk out, we are going to want to get far away from here."

Neku smirked, and folded his hands behind his head. That was quite the amusing gathering, and he was slowly getting caught in all that. He had to admit, the idea of adventure and pirates seemed catchy. And, besides, if Law had a means of travel, then maybe Neku could look for someone he wanted to find...
"Looks like y'all have an idea on what to do..." Neku said, grinning, "While I still am not buying that 'gold that gives inmortality' crap, I still have a reason to join ya. Don't worry. I can hold my ground if you're worried about that" he winked at Law, still smirking, "I mean, I ain't training to be a Merc for nothin'."
He then looked at Strax, who'd made use of some sort of illusion magic, and looked amused, letting out a whistle, impressed by the trick. Neku wasn't very good with magic himself, but slide of hand was another thing. And to make 2 coins appear in your hand was a decent trick, but making them dissapear as soon as they left was a completely different story.
"Huh, ain't that niche...?" he teased Strax, "Aside from the whole rest of the list, of course. I guess we all have our niches, then..." Neku said aloud, nonchalantly, "I mean, we've got a pirate, a pretty fancy lady, a Nobody and a Merc trainee. Pretty unique, if ya ask me."

They were beginning to come around to it. Law's spirits were high as he listened to each person at the table begin to warm up to his treasure hunt. It seems world travelers are a curious bunch. A broad smile had emerged on the pirate's flushed face as he looked at what was slowly becoming a pirate crew. Captain Law of the nine skies... It had a nice ring to it. Not as nice as 'Law the Pirate King', but he would get to that eventually. I wonder if there even is a Pirate King? Could one be considered a King of Pirates? A group who typically never banned together, but fought each other constantly? Maybe it's just the strongest pirate... There were many thoughts distracting him at the moment. Maybe it was the swill?
As Charlotte first agreed to come aboard his excursion, the Pirate was curious what this mysterious woman who could travel between worlds had up her sleeve. To think, even a classy lady like that has some mischief in her. It gave him hope for future generations to come. A seemingly refined noble woman taking to the skies with a crew of ruffians? He loved it! What a story he'd have to tell! He wasn't sure who he'd tell, exactly, seeing as how he didn't have many friends. But he was sure during his future voyages to come there'd be moments he would be able to tell the tale of the Platinum Beauty Charlotte.
Strax also agreed to come along, seemingly having a pretty relaxed and agreeable nature about himself. He could be a good first mate... If there was going to be a crew, there'd need to be some sort of order among the chaos. The green haired man was peculiar indeed, as he began to tell them of his abilities. He's a... werewolf!? The sky pirate had heard rumors of the monsters, men who were cursed to transform into beasts during a full moon. He had never actually seen or confirmed that they existed, though. Not only that, but apparently this guy could even control his transformations!? "How... are you... saying all of this... so nonchalantly..."
His voice was a bit slurred, though most of his staggering was due to the whirlwind of information he was presented with. Dumbfounded, the man's body reacted out of instinct as the Werewolf Nobody Magician slid him a drink, catching it as it reached his side of the table. Hearing about the trick with the coins, Law couldn't believe his own luck. This guy's a GOLD MINE! He was star struck, really. Not only was this odd man in front of him agreeable, they were also powerful and could create fake coins they could actually get away with using! He slammed his fist on the table, stars in his shining blue eyes. With this guy helping out, I can pillage EVERYTHING!
"Y'know, we're an odd lot but I'm starting to get into it~" Resounding with Neku's confirmation of having an odd party about themselves, the pirate smirked and nodded in agreement. The Harpy was a small ship, not able to host more than eight or nine people. Four was a good number. It wouldn't be too cramped. Law couldn't help but feel invincible with his new team.
"Alright, with all of us on board, I think it's best for me to elaborate on our enemy." Despite his intoxicated state, the man was getting down to brass tacts. Suddenly serious, Law sat up straight and cleared his throat. "This crew of pirates with the Aztec treasure are powerful. Normal attacks and spells don't appear to work on them at all." He was sure there was some loop hole to these immortal pirates, but he had yet to find one. "Normal strategies won't work. That's why I've been plotting a more stealthy heist."

Heartless, that was a name she had learned since visiting China. And there he went again, calling himself a Nobody. Everything he had mentioned seemed... very familiar. Was that what happened to her world? But then why did she not fall with it? Why did SHE remain as she was? But most of all, his being able to turn into a Werewolf was probably the most normal thing to her as demons were. "Must have been hard mastering that. I don't know of many Were-creatures being able to control their transformations. You'd be quite the catch for my sisters... maybe. I've yet to find them in my travels," Charlotte beamed. Diana would probably just... use his talents.
"Since it sounds like we're all going- it only seems fair that I tell you all about little ol me~ I also use magic, and have some other abilities which... I can't comfortable show off here. It's mostly elemental based. If this world's magic doesn't work on them, we'll just have to try mine," Charlotte said with pride. Her Hellfire should be able to deal with them just fine... she'd yet to find something it couldn't burn through that wasn't already from The Underworld.

Strax smirks at Law's uncertain confusions. "I can say it nonchalantly because its nothing I should be ashamed of, and because its my strengths. To hide my abilities from comrades would be foolish. I'll show you the transformation later when we are on your ship. We really don't want to cause a fuss here in town." Strax stands, implying that they should probably head out now anyway. He was eager to get things going and learn more about this curse. Besides, he could use a little battle practice anyway.
Strax was caught a little off guard when Charlotte mentioned her sister. "Did you lose your sister to the darkness? Do you think they ended up on another world? Is she single?" Strax added the last one as a half joke. With a chuckle he offers a hand to Charlotte to help her stand, as chivalry dictates. He turns to Neku and Law. "We should go plan our attack back on the ship, lest we be overheard"

Neku smirked, eager. The idea seemed tempting, he couldn't deny that. Besides, with Law's ship, Neku would have less trouble moving around, which meant a quicker search. The only thing he was hoping for was to find either Tori, or Mei, or in the best case-scenario, both.
"C'mon then, let's get a move on, slowpokes!" he told Strax and Law with a smirk, "You can chat us up later, Law. Wery's right. Best not to be overheard" he added, "So, guide the way, cap'n!"
He was having a bit of fun overall, teasing the adults with nicknames or titles. Of course, Neku was respectful, and he was trying to not go overboard with his teasing. Otherwise, he'd probably use harsher language towards them. And he wouldn't be smirking while he said so.
"Oh, yeah... I guess I should say a bit on my end, huh? Info for info, after all" he said, recalling an old saying back home, "Welp... Not much to it. I'm a Merc Trainee, in a world full of monsters. So... You could say I'm used to fighting."

He agreed with Strax and the others, they should head back to The Harpy. Rising from his seat, albeit with quite some swaying, the pirate had a confident grin on his face as he pointed his finger in the air. "Alright, crew. Let's take to the skies!" The pirate grabbed his holstered weapon off of the table, strapping it back onto his belt. There was an excitement in him that he always felt before causing mischief, a feeling he was always thrilled by. Each of his new comrades seemed to have decent abilities in their own right. With a crew this strong, he was sure they could conquer the seas of this world! It was time for them to leave, everyone agreed. Law marched his way from the table over to the tavern doors, pushing them open and greedily sucking in the night air that rushed to greet him.
Ah... there's a good wind tonight. Law was thankful for that, a good wind was always a good omen in his opinion. Their heist would be blessed by the skies themselves. One day, even the clouds will respect my plunder. Determined, the pirate set off for the ship, which was currently docked at the port. Assuming the others would follow, Law headed down the cobblestone street that was dimly lit by the streetlights, admiring the crowded buildings that bustled with people. Some rested, some stirred, others were hardly there at all. Faint sounds from other establishments could be heard throughout the night, as well as the occasional rolling of cart wheels or trampling of locals feet.
Walking down through the city, the pirate finally reached the docks, lined with anchored ships. Towards the end of the docks was his own, a small but impressive ship that rested among the calm waters, obediently waiting for its Captain's return. The ship was crafted from fine steel, orichalcum and wood, though its deck was small, most likely only hosting six people comfortably. The hull was sturdy and mirrored, lined with orichalcum in order to deflect oncoming projectiles. Law had worked hard to reinforce his small ship with armor upgrades and durable materials. If his ship was going to be small, it had to be sturdy and swift.
Offensively it didn't look like much, only hosting two cannons on each side of it. This was mostly a ruse, as the ships main weapon was the long beam that thrust out from the front. It was the shape of a Harpy, a winged creature with talons and a humanoid shape. Crafted from the strongest materials he could find, Law had fashioned the front of the ship into a lance-like weapon, allowing him to pierce and board another vessel easily, the rear of it being able to deflect or block most oncoming projectiles. Combined with the two air rotors and small engine, the small ship was certainly a formidable craft. A single sail hung from it, a tall flag emerging from the top that flew maroon and pink colors, the sigil of the same Harpy creature on the front of the boat woven into it. This was certainly his pride and joy.
Hoisting himself up onto the rope ladder that snaked down the side of the ship, Law pulled himself up to the deck. It was smooth, the wood a deep maroon color that was recently polished and swabbed. At the stern of the ship was a raised platform with two small staircases on either side, which led up to the large wheel that steered the vessel. Beneath the raised platform was the Captain's Quarters, his own private room that he treated as a sanctuary. Standing on the deck of the ship, Law breathed in the crisp ocean breeze.
"Ah... it feels good to be home." He didn't mean the world, of course, but the ship. On deck he certainly felt more at home than anywhere else.

There was that phrase again. "Fall to the darkness." Surely he wasn't talking about a specific element. It also happened to be the domain of Shade, who was one of the Prime elemental spirits of her world. She was overthinking it. "I'm hoping that they've ended up on another world like myself," Charlotte said to Strax in response to her sisters, giggling when he asked if they were single. "You'll just have to see if we find either of them~" she added after accepting Strax' hand to stand up. Now this was more in her realm~
And Neku was also from a world of monsters? Based on what he said, she assumed that they were more akin to wild beasts then but would have to ask later. For now she'd follow them after Law as he led the way to this "special" ship of his. And it definitely was something special. Diana would probably be able to see it more clear than her. But even Charlotte could atleast see that Law put love and effort into making this. "Oooh, a Harpy! That's a comforting sight~" Charlotte gushed sincerely. It was purely a coincidence and all but even seeing anything that remotely resembled like something from back home was awesome. But it did make her heartache for home again as she lingered for a moment longer than normal, taking it in. It was either from Law's own personal taste and taking creative liberties, or just another coincidence that the... "build" was more akin to one of the harpy sub-races. They weren't normally top heavy like that. She'd eventually follow after the others once she had studied it enough.

Neku followed along, and as soon as he spotted the ship, let out an admiration whistle. The ship didn't look that flashy, but it was still a piece of work worth the admiration. Besides, it did look better than other ships he'd seen, including Gummi Ships. He followed Law up the deck, and began to walk around nonchalantly.
"Ain't this a piece of work..." he teased the pirate, "Well, it's better that other ships I've seen, that's for sure."
He looked up the night sky with a smirk, as he folded his hands behind his head. The blade at his back felt somewhat heavy, but he had to admit that it had been quite the rough day. He woke up in an unfamiliar world to him, after seemingly having fought to exhaustion against something quite indescribable... It was so, that Neku himself couldn't exactly remember what had happened.
"Oi, cap'n" Neku said, still somewhat playful, "You aren't gonna leave us out in the open, right? I mean, I kinda need to leave some stuff in storage" he pointed at his Hunter Kit, "The sword ain't leaving my back, though. Just a heads-up."

Taking in the night breeze, Law inhaled deeply as he closed his eyes, raising his arms at his sides to welcome the wind. Hearing Charlotte's comfort in Harpies, the pirate suddenly raised a brow, leaning over the port of the ship to see the woman on the docks. There was a striking in his heart as he watched her take time to take in the ships handiwork. Everything about the ship was personalized. Originally he had lifted it off of some thrifter for a low price and it hardly flew at all. It had taken a lot of time and energy to make The Harpy what it was now, one of the swiftest airships in the sky.
Beaming with pride, almost as a father would their children, the pirate cupped his mouth with his hands, hollering down to the lady. "Thank you! Harpies have always been a good omen for me!" It was true, even the pirate's shoulder pauldron that he wore over his coat had a Harpy engraved onto it, as well as the pendant beneath his scarf. He had chosen the image on purpose. On his home worlds, many monsters and other races existed, Harpies being one of them. They took many aloof travelers and sky pirates lives and were to be feared and respected. What he truly loved about them was the rumor around them, how a Harpy was the personification of storm winds. He had taken this creature so many feared and respected, finding comfort in its powerful wrath. The few Harpies he had seen on his home world he had never fought, nor had he wanted to. He had only ever simply gazed upon them in awe.
At Neku's comment on the ship, the pride Law felt swelled further in his chest. Truly, if one were to discern the mans source of light, it would be this ship. He would die for it in a heartbeat. A good captain always went down with their ship, pirate or not. Hearing the teens mention of quarters, the man snapped his fingers, almost as though he had forgotten. "Right! This way~" He was easily distracted under an open sky. It brimmed with possibilities.
Motioning for the others to follow, Law walked towards the stern that held the Captain quarters and housed the steering deck. One of the stairways went up to the wheel, while the other led down to the hull. Taking the staircase that led down, Law rounded the corner of the staircase which led to the small cannon room. The cannons only numbered in four total, but their technology was far more advanced than typical pirate ships. These cannons did not need someone to load and powder them, instead having automated ammo shells hoisted at their sides. The controls for them were on the steering deck. It seemed the pirate's home world was filled with advancements this world had hardly dreamed of.
Past it was a small hallway with two doors, one on each side. Inside each room was a plain empty space, filled with only a bunk bed, a small twin bed, as well as a single desk and chair. Each room was identical in its simplicity. "Y'all can sort out the rooms however you'd like. Though I'm sure Charlotte would enjoy her own space~" He gave Strax and Neku a knowing look, figuring he hardly had to mention it to them. Even pirates could have honorable or chivalrous tendencies.
"Though, there's always room in the Captains Quarters for you, love." Ah, there was the crudeness of the pirate life coming out. Law gave the woman a playful wink and a hearty laugh, one that suggested he wasn't trying to offend, simply enjoying himself among new comrades.
"Rest up, crew. Tomorrow we set sail!" With that, Law exited the hallway and made his way back up towards the deck of the ship, where he would go into the Captain's Quarters to rest for the night.

Charlotte and Law seemed to coincidentally have things in common- excluding the having good omens with harpies. Harpies of her world were just very "go with the flow" and went as they pleased through migration like birds. This of course was not always true, some could learn how to stay put and actually settle down. But it'd usually take quite the man for one to do that- or so she's heard. It was just another case of "true love" that she was curious about. In any case, she was looking forward to this all the more as she joined the others on the ship. Her sister would just be salivating over this ship. She giggled and smiled at Law in passing, having an extra little swagger to her step as she went to claim a room for her own. Maybe something with a window? She was going to enjoy this trip~

Neku chuckled at the stupidly cheesy and failed attempt of Law to convince Charlotte on his room, and simply walked along towards a room. He figured the werewolf would like his alone time, so he picked a room for the two, and left his things there before heading back out towards the deck.
"Imma just take a stroll around deck, so don't worry your poor asses about me" he said loud and clear, "And if some baddie tries to sneak behind me, well... He's got another thing comin'. And same goes for you, guys. Don't try sneakin' behind me, ya hear?"
With that, he was off towards the open sky. It was nice outside, despite the port's ambiance. There was a faint, familiar breeze than Neku had known for his entire life. The seabreeze was just the same regardless of where he was... Neku then leaned at the border of the ship, and looked at the night-lit sea, with a bit of nostalgia. He let out a sigh, as he kept on looking at the familiarly unfamiliar view.
"Now where did the two of you head off to..." he muttered, "I can't be the only one here... Right? You guys are here somewhere... And I'll find ya. That's a promise..."

As the crew settled in for the night, Law took his place within the Captain's Quarters. It was certainly the least modest room of the ship, as this was where the pirate had most of his rare or interesting artifacts and other treasures. He settled in for the night, excitedly dreaming of the skies they would soar through.
[[TIME SKIP TO MORNING]]
The ship awoke with the rising sun, eager to greet the pink sky. Always an early riser, no matter how much he drank or how late he got to bed, Law stood on the raised platform at the stern of the ship, his hands gripping onto the steering wheel as the engine in the ship began to start. Luckily due to the design of the ship, the only real noise was the single engine, which remained relatively quiet (for an aircraft). The rotors began to turn as the craft lifted into the sky. Having hoisted the anchor and prepared the vessel when he had first woken up, Law was eager to get a start on their quest.
To his left was the navigation panel, filled with knobs, switches and graph displays. The ship was able to record and measure many things normal ships couldn't, such as altitude, temperature, nautical levels as well as gauging the overall status of the ship itself. The module had costed Law a pretty penny as well as having to bare his knuckles to get a fair price, but the pirate took pride in the advancements the ship held. He hadn't bothered going below deck to wake anyone up, though had been a kind enough host to leave small packages outside of both rooms. Within the packages was a modest breakfast, rolls with butter and salted meat, but when one set sail they had to make do with what they had. Most ships didn't come accommodated with a kitchen.
The Harpy was a swift and mostly silent vessel, other than the occasional turbulence from buffering winds, Law figured the crew would be able to sleep in as late as they needed. Due to the small size of the aircraft and the advanced technology, the ship didn't need 'all hands on deck' for the Captain to navigate. It was designed to be able to soar through the skies or sail the seas with a pilot alone. Well, not just any pirate. The custom modules he had installed in the vehicle were complex and complicated, it had taken him quite some time and practice to learn them better than he knew his own hand. It wasn't an easy feat for most pilots unaccustomed to it.
Lifting out of the ocean water and into the air, The Harpy quickly rose above Port Royal, allowing Law to gaze down upon the cobblestone city lined with lush trees and a pleasant ocean breeze. So long, Port Royal! I'll be back soon. It was an absentminded thought as the pirate began to soar over the city. Luckily they were fairly high up at this point, as his ship was quite fast, the early morning combining to aid in no locals seeing them. Law had made sure there had been no one in the port before take off.
World order and all of that.

Strax wakes up the next morning and strolls out his open door onto the main deck, feeling the familiar rush of wind passing by he closes his eyes sleepily before strutting over to Law. Strax was in his wolf form, green fur shimmering in the sunlight. -"Lovely ship Law. It sails smooth through the air. If I didn't know any better, I would think I was flying myself around."- The nobody looked up at law with glimmering golden eyes. His mouth was unmoving, but his voice was heard loud and clear in the vagrants mind.
After the inevitable confusion and possible scare, which was completely Strax's intent, Strax explains himself. -"I'm a psychic user, so I can communicate telepathically with people who I have alliance."- If Law searched hard enough, he would see a wolfish grin on Strax's face. Strax would keep up the facade until after Neku and Charlotte came out, but for now, to mess with Law was good enough. -"Where's the mess hall? I am famished!"-

Charlotte unlike her sisters, was definitely what you'd call a morning person. Even without the aid of the ship starting up, her inner clock would get her up and started. She'd go through the normal people stuff of stretching, yawning, resist the urge to sleep in (and succeed) before heading out. She found the "rations" Law left them, frowning at it. So there were downsides to this sort of thing. Still, it was a welcome sight for someone who didn't have a reliable source of food. I'm referring to actual food mind you, she could sustain herself on other means but preferred food to alternatives.
After her quick breakfast, Charlotte would make her way up to the deck and join Law and Strax. "Morning Strax~" Charlotte purred cheerfully. "Morning captain!" Charlotte called to Law before enjoying the view. They really were flying! Ignoring the fact that she could already fly, it was another matter entirely for an entire vessel to be able to fly.

Neku had barely taken any sleep. And the little sleep he'd gotten was at the deck, having fallen asleep against a fence, sitting down. He was an early bird, like the rest of the group, but even then he felt as if he'd gotten no sleep at all. Thing that he wasn't really used to. Even when keeping watch, Neku at least felt more refreshed the next day...
He headed towards the wheel, scratching the back of his head as he tried to wake up. Neku groaned a bit, ignoring how hungry he was. The weight in his back reassured him of the sword, still sheathed and tightly assured around his chest.
"Mornin'..." he said, yawning a bit, "Damn... That's one hell of a sleep I got..." Neku chuckled a bit.
It was only at the deck, besides the rest, that he noticed that they were on the air. However, since he'd barely slept, wasn't exactly shocked. Which he should've, considering that Neku had never seen another ship, aside a Gummi Ship, that could fly.
Still tired, Neku laid himself against the edge, looking at the scenery, with a somewhat nostalgic expression. But since he also looked tired, it could've been because of the lack of sleep.

It felt good to be behind the wheel of his aircraft again. Anytime Law wasn't in the sky he longed for it, freely admitting that his one true love would forever be the clouds and winds and open possibilities. The breeze that passed over the deck of the ship as the craft soared was pleasant, putting the pirate in a wonderful mood. That is, until suddenly his peaceful morning was interrupted with a voice inside his head. -"Lovely ship Law. It sails smooth through the air."- There was more the voice said but already he had jolted, wildly spinning around to gaze upon the green wolf that perched in front of him.
What the...?! Strax's voice entered his mind once more, explaining the reasoning for what he had first thought to be his sanity slipping. Sighing in relief, the pirate rested a hand on his chest before scowling at the wolf. "Damned fur ball! Ya nearly gave me a heart attack!" Having quelled the beating in his chest, Law greeted Charlotte and Neku, who arrived on deck shortly after. A slight grin appeared on his face when he saw Neku slumped over against one of the deck railings. He recalled his first time on an airship, having hardly slept at all his first night ever on one. Law himself had worked on many crafts before getting his own, typically roaming the ship into the early hours of the morning instead of sleeping. That youthful zealous was always touching to see when it came to someone younger than himself and airships. It reminded him a bit of himself.
The winds were good and the ship was swift. Already Port Royal was a distant speck behind the crew as they sailed through the sky. Checking the coordinates he had entered into his module and making sure all of the fuel levels were good, Law set the ship to autopilot, allowing the pirate to roam the ship freely. Looking over to the others on board, the pirate beamed with positivity. "At this rate we’ll make great time!" Since this world was far behind in regards to technology and air travel, the skies were a safe place other than the occasional Heartless. Law had used his bronze collapsible telescope to see if there were any signs of enemies, but the skies looked clear. They soared between the clouds and the sea, able to still look down to see many small islands speckling the ocean beneath them.
Law lazily walked down the raised platform onto the deck, leaning over one of the many rail beams around the ship deck, initially meant to help people not fall overboard. Hopping up onto the beam, the pirate grabbed a nearby rope for support that strung from the sail. Gazing over the side of the ship, he breathed in fresh air and gazed down at the ocean. Looking over his shoulder, he motioned for his crew to come look.
"Come, crew! Take a look! The view from up here is breath taking!"

Strax was a little underwhelmed by the lack of reactions from the rest of the crew. He huffs before following Law over to the edge. His eyes glowed as he used his psychic to make himself float up and stabilize him on the railing. To the untrained eye most would see a wolf sitting perfectly still on the thin railing below him. Upon further inspection you could see a slightly glowing green aura of psychic energy. Strax yawned, but agreed that the sights were gorgeous.
-"So Law where are we headed exactly, and how easy is it to land an air ship on it?"- The voice echoed in the minds of the entire crew, so everyone would know that Law wouldn't be talking to himself, as funny a thought as that would be. Strax looked around, feeling out with his powers until he found a barrel of fish, of which he teleports one into his own mouth to devour, seeing how Law never told him where to find food otherwise. -"Also, what kind of resistance should we expect to meet there? Do we have a plan of attack, or are we winging it, and probably most important, are we storming the island during the daytime or at night?"- Strax knew that the barrage of questions was probably a bit much, but the devil is always in the details, and you never want to have a devil surprise you.

Charlotte was already enjoying the view, looking over the rail whilst they were flying. She wondered if actual harpies ever thought about what the world looked like beneath them. They probably just didn't think about it, much like how someone who could see never considered how fortunate they were compared to someone blind. She wandered over to Law and Strax, who she assumed was that green wolf for the reasons that he had green hair, and had admitted earlier that he could change at will.
"Doesn't this make a motley crew?" Charlotte remarked playfully, referring to the four of them. It' be a stranger sight if they knew what part of her heritage was. Strax asked some good questions. But he wasn't actually speaking which confused her for a moment. Did he just speak in her head? She assumed it was him since he was asking Law about what he planned to do. It could have been a number of things. Based on what little she knew, she was thinking that he'd be winging it as they went.
"Does he seem like someone with elaborate plans? We don't even know what the lay of the land is yet," Charlotte said with a playful smirk at Law.

Neku yawned a bit once more, still half-asleep. That is, until he jolted awake by a voice echoing in his head, and instinctively grabbing onto his sword's handle. He looked around, shocked, and then noticed Strax, in his wolf form, for a few seconds, shocked. Neku then groaned, let his hold loose and leaned back, groaning.
"It's way too early to deal with this crap now..." He said, somewhat bitter.
Neku's stomach growled, and he smirked uneasily. He looked at Law and Charlotte, who were talking about where they were headed, although the pirate hadn't said much about the place itself... Sighing, he began to make his way down, not before leaving something for them.
"Oi, you two wouldn't happen to know where I can get a pick-me-up, would ya?" he asked, "Let's just say that I didn't stay down while I was sleeping, so I might've missed some stuff..."
