Pack it up, pack it in,

CHARACTERS: Darcy, and YOU?!
DATE: First half of September prior to the event
LOCATION: Sports deck
SITUATION: A pirate-sponsored fight club for the sake of beating the shit out of each other bettering each other
WARNINGS: It’s a fight club. Violence is to be expected.

I came to win

Fliers go up around the ship, as they so often do. This time put up with a reasonable amount of tape and written in a much less flowery hand than people would expect, the announcement ‘FIGHT CLUB TUESDAY EVENINGS SPORTS DECK: MAKE FRIENDS AND THEN HIT THEM’.
Anyone going to the sport’s deck after 7pm for the Tuesdays before the excursion will find tennis court set up for an impromptu fight club. There’s a notebook with a pen off to one side as a sign-in sheet, and a small list of rules written in the same handwriting as the fliers.
-No killing or dying
-Respect tapping out
-If you’re learning, respect your teacher/s
-If you’re teaching, respect your student/s
-Cause problems, get kicked out


Off to the sidelines, Darcy can be found supervising, keeping an eye out for any issues.

Battle me that's a sin

In one corner is supplies for fencing and swordplay. Three protective jackets, mesh masks, and blunt training sabers in a loose pile, plus whatever weaponry people themselves supply. There’s a circular arena drawn out on the ground, with a narrower fencing piste drawn through the middle of it.

I won't ever slack up

For those more inclined to hand-to-hand combat, a couple of the punching bags from the gym have been dragged out onto the court, along with focus-pads and a couple of long strips of bandages bandages to wrap one’s hands with. An arena has been drawn out, about the right dimensions for a boxing ring.

Punk you better back up

Over on the furthest side- deliberately angled to face off the ship- there’s a makeshift shooting range consisting of a bunch of water bottles and some mannequins from the Tommy Bahama laid out as targets to shoot at. A line has been drawn on the ground, presumably to stand behind when shooting.

Try and play the role and yo the whole crew'll act up

Right in the middle of everything is an arena marked out for no clear purpose, with no equipment nearby. It can probably be presumed that this is somewhere for people to spar, or more likely, show off in front of everyone.

"Better. Use that rage, it sharpens your eyesight. So why didn't you shoot him?" Blackmail. It's another new word to go in a list.

"Magic..." isn't real. He would have said, has said, is trying to get used to dampening as an automatic reflex. "Are you just bracing just in case, or has there been reasons you think this is an eventuality beyond the ghosts and being brought here?" Sure, sure, because wormholes, ghosts, and literal gods can be real but zombies, come on what are the odds, or something.

"If they're animated corpses... why would bullets stop them? Can they feel pain? You can survive being shot by a gun. I should think they would be able to absorb bullets even easier than arrows. Better to use fire, I think." Yeah, definitely. You could use a katana, but the idea of getting decaying bloated corpse guts on his very pretty swords bothers him.

“I didn’t shoot him because I was scared of him. I was afraid to lose everything. I...didn’t leave my building for three years, while he tormented me, demanding money and a whole floor for his own needs. It was a bad time.”

He still struggles with agoraphobia.

“As for zombies, bullets worked fine on the ones the captain made last month. So did running them over with a car, though, so.”

"He lived with you?" Damn. Of all things Nobunaga has done for power... yeah there's no way he'd invite an assassin to live in Azuchi Castle with him. Although Mitsuhide does, and Mitsuhide is kind of a blackmailer-type, but it's very different. Mitsuhide is Nobunaga's left hand man and in charge of doing the things that Nobunaga is less adept with. So literally anything subtle and requiring extreme finesse.

"The captain made them? Why would he do that?" The first reference to this mysterious entity outside of Gal Friday. "What's a car?" Yeah, he can go on with questions like this forever.

"Are you freed now, or only while here?" In which case the freedom is debatable given the captain sics zombies on the passengers.
