天下無双

Spoiler:

Why they were here now was because of Sofia, and only her. They all relaxed and almost broke bread together. That however was the end of actual words. Calico however would at one point help her in rescuing her Father and maybe get her the revenge she would want. Prestige for the deed only being his goal since wealth was not a objective for him at this point. That should not have been questioned ever. This thought of helping another for bringing a item had not been forgotten, nor had it ever been. Even when others thought it did. But instead of reading between the lines of what actually has happened chimed in opinions swayed each and everyone of them. Even when they traveled here without first coming up with a plan he'd try to live up to the end of his agreement; and devise one that could be explained at a later date. As the goal of this entire thing had turned into something else. What would've happened if they kill this Woman when they first encountered her? What traps mentioned by everyone would be triggered without the knowledge of where they were. She had to have a mental layout of this place. What if killing her now would've caused Sofia never to find her Father. That were things thought about on the way here and acted upon. There best bet would be to stick together and actually come up with some, or Calico would do so. IF they couldn't talk about a plan, which they couldn't, he would go with one of his own. And still not talk to them about it. That would put too much trust into them to play a part in the wildness of Calico Jack. And as mentioned before they had just met and there was no real reason for them to trust each other(IC). Actually legit reactions of betrayal and misplaced trust was the best thing to convince anyone of betrayal. Even if the plan didn't go through as intended he always kept two close to him. He knew the abilities of Dr. K from what was displayed. Bringing him closer to the barrels that he would've  filled with water was to let him do his switch. As they'd be extremely closer to Jacqueline. The top of the barrel being enough to be used as the switched object. As stated Calico knew nothing of the other person so he would get him out of the way, if he couldn't move himself like now. He didn't plan to do that out of caring, not at all. Everything he was doing was either to repay a favor or gain one. He could use Dr. K in the future and this man was his friend or whatever. Having a legit Doctor your friend could help with wounds he may receive while on Jaya. In the end everything that would've happened would've made sense. Trust wasn't guaranteed to grow again though; but the seeds for it should've never been planted. Hate him if you want. He was never a good person. He did things he liked and wanted. And his method to things were foreign to those not like him. To not hide anything but be clear as day. Nothing he would do to anyone physically(with his ol' weapon) would be done. If he wanted to wake them up he had enough strength to pinch them before he would've placed them in the barley.

Echoed throughout this entire ordeal the lack of coordination within their realm(IC) produced the actions of the gods(ooc) to switch around and add in more pieces to the game they called life(rp). And make plans by both parties seem bad.

"I was trying to help you all catch her, idiot." When thangs were too much his thoughts escaped through his mouth. Leaving him unaware he had done such. He has done this multiple times in his life and it was a quirk that wouldn't leave him anytime soon, sadly. It happened every time some too dumb, crazy, or scary happened to him. His words came out at the moment he began the tug on his blade. Some mystical force had caused him to not be able to unleash it fully, but a centimeter of steel could be seen. Ready and able to cut down anyone at the moment he was freed. And that moment came. From rushed plannings. He was able to neutralize the two weaklings. Both like stated before had been lowered safety as to not cause them any harm, since that was never an intention. He could've struck the Bounty but only if she was closer. The distance of forty or thirty nine meters was something he could just simply cross. Inches however could easily be passed by him. Seconds were used as reference for how much time but didn't really matter with the level of speed the user could move at. Though he believed(ooc) they were fine and possible. Actions stated to just occur without any reference for when they did held more weight. Someone that could move faster than another could speak was not possible. With this and other things so many words for the gods watching from the peanut gallery created swirls of confusion to those on the game board. Actions would be taken that held no real reason or purpose to them. Thought out plans for all weren't so well throughout. Expecting one thing from another was foolish when you've just met them a hour or so ago. A attempt to even speak more before heading here was opted out to 'rush' something that wouldn't be natural.

Lyin' and saying he ain't never been in this situation was something Calico would do. "You think you stopped me?" Was easily one of the retorts he would've used in any other dirty situation like this. Where he had limited to no control of his body in a offensive manner. Well, until there was a lapse in concentration. The new formed planned backfired due to due diligence not being follow through. With the inches between them not increased his actions were quick enough to potentially go through before any poor excuse of attacks would be so seamlessly executed in the dead of night. When the group had their positions obscured to everyone but the bounty. Who already was looking out for people to show up. And more than likely had been keeping tabs on them since the dock. This being a conclusion due to her just walking out looking right in their direction. And making comments she'd only know about if she was had kept tabs on them. She had proven herself to be a spider when it came to tactics, in Calico's eyes. Her gameboard or Mansion was her web. She easily revealed herself simply because her fine ass had already caught them.


"WHAT DID YOU DO!?!" This cry out loud was not forced and was a actual question. but it was time to actually speak now. Saying this outloud after he would say something else. It was just assumed or forcibly stated he'd do nothing. Being starstruck was only because of the initial stun. There was no reason for him to react without doing something for this reaction. Lunging forward with his hands instead of his weapon. As with the initial knock out not going through. He had to make this look real and that he had a flaw. As he couldn't change the side of the blade with them two just now being the focus. There was no more surprises he could do to hide sword attacks. Yeah he could be told to stop again but it'd be too late if not stopped. He possibly could grab her by the neck. But the pressure applied wouldn't match the look, the difference being noticeable by feel only. Letting this play out too long might cause him to actually kill her. But he couldn't do that. As it wouldn't really be fulfilling his promise. So with the light pressure applied he pulled her closer, just enough to obscure his mouth.

"Blink twice for me to lose the struggle. Blink once to let it go through." That was what he had decided to say the moment he was stunned. That would be the first time he spoke to them to give a hint via words he was still on their side. He didn't have high hopes that message would be delivered clearly. This is however the actions that would've been attempted even if stunned again by Sofia, albeit his head turning to hide his mouth if he couldn't touch her. Which would've been fine. It was a barberice display on the part of Calico but that is how he did things. He didn't hold any real finesse unless it revolved around slicing with a weapon or a month to year long plan. Crazy situations required crazy decisions. She could react fast to things on the fly. And should be able to deduct what he was doing and planning.

Even though it wouldn't be natural he would lay her down behind the bush. Doing his best to absorb the damage that would've came by placing his hands behind her head, right before impact. His actions added to what he said was to get it through her head to. Depending on how she blinked would warrant either one thing or another.  "We will roll around and you stand up." "We will roll around and I stand up." Again he spoke to her. His actions, in his mind, would give him two possible outcomes when it came to Jacqueline. If she had a fixation on Sofia she would stop him either with her words or actions. He didn't know what she'd say. It could be a threat it could be something else. If she wanted him to work for her he would go with it. But there was a great chance she might feel some way from his actions and could lash out at him, for stealing prey or just because she didn't want him there. Which would get him attacked. And due to their skills they should be about matched, with Jacqueline having the edge. This could've easily been done in other ways. Yeah, sure. But that would limit them doing the actual mission at hand. And the mentality of Calico guided his decisions more than anything else. As this wasn't bounty hunting rather it was a rescue. Regardless with him being the last person standing he'd be the focus. If he wasn't stopped he wouldn't joke her all the way out. He knew she wasn't a fighter and striking someone with his weapon to knock them out was easier than choking them out. This was because he was a swordsmen and not someone really trained in hand to hand combat. Just so actions are clear. He spoke. He attempted a grab. Regardless he'd speak. But under the impression no foreign entity flew in.

"THIS IDIOT RUINED THE PLAN! NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH MORE COMBAT WILL SO SHE CAN GET HER FATHER." Thoughts escaped his mouth unknowing to him if actions flowed through without interruption. Actions after his words took place as well, and a motion to move forward would occur. Open palmed to increase the lodge. There was always time to dodge. And move with swiftness for the cause. Head hunting caused his sensei to not love him. Regardless of how it was administered. His delays and notes weren't really useful. Offense was what was always needed and has always been needed. Overwhelming those that you thought could or could not handle what you actually could do. But everything was avoided in more than one way. A few words or many could be used. With the break in one Man's schedule and Calico's nature of being relentless he could keep going. Killing intent oozed outward to the one that wanted him for no reason. The delay being as mentioned before. Added in nothing more than the defeat in his enemy.

Their location to elaborate on was thicc. As mentioned before. He had lead them to a spot that allowed them to view the building, but not be so out in the open. Trees and bushes obscuring their figures in the night. Allowing the clear view of the patio and main building.Post3The trees could take any normal man's blows. The erotice figure of them would have made any struck with dendrophilia. What they'd do to it was nothing short of scandalous and unnatural. Breaking through them from above would equate to pulling hair. Just like the hair that was wanted from the head of Jacqueline. Her beauty had already occured the attention of Calico's lower regin. And due to a rule he had he couldn't force her to do anything she didn't want. But there was a loophole that would be always overlooked. You don't force them to do anything. But rather make them do actions on their own with certain ways. Breaking out and away from the one that stopped him under the premise of

The patio had a stone fountain in the middle, and there was a small garden around it, with a stone path crossing through the whole thing. And on each sides of that patio, two smaller buildings. Post 1 That path way was inches away from them. And in size the entire patio area was 40x40 meters. Stepping out further getting to the beginning of the stoney path way only would take a couple steps. Moving through the portion of the garden that they currently were within. The tree above them was not a normal one but a apple tree. Why this mattered? It allowed those downed to waken prematurely.

There was a tug he felt it the moment he was freed. He would not think it was Sofia due to the group already being so open with what they could do. Her attracting weapons wasn't something she mentioned and they didn't seem, or act, like the types that would hide what they could do. They were soft in comparison to the grizzled Calico Jack. Not a diss but the truth. Calico has done many things they couldn't put themselves todo. Just like most of those within this new generation. At it began to move he'd move. Turning in the direction it prepared to go to. He was letting it be pulled. Not needing to be fully turned his attack flew.  As that would be played on. It took nothing for him to his approach wasn't stopped nothing he did was stopped. His downward decent and pull of his weapon would be allowed to go right through. But Calico would administer Iaido as his blade was being pulled. The pull plus his own speed would allow a quicker and unpredicted or accounted for draw. Why this was actually capable of being done? The speed he was approached at wasn't a max nor optimal one. Not like Calico's was. It was enough to allow a sneak attack to someone that might've not been there. A attempt at the face was something that was wanted and could and would be done due to the downward dive. With him like mid slash the weapon would be pulled as there would be no reason to stop it. His grip only briefly was tight upon it being pulled. And would be pulled away with impact or without it. If not stopped the weapon within its new found home would be pulled to where it was wanted. With the length of Calico's arm and blade it was within range as the thrust came. Going to the possession of the aggressor.

The attack if it continued to come was quick but it wasn't something he couldn't move away from. If this needed to be the only approach. It came from the people's distance other than the weapon's actually distance. With his new position of being facing the direction of the guy he'd just move slightly, though it wasn't needed. But he misjudged where he was and this maneuver would cause Dr. K, who was laying slightly behind him at a angle, well now in front, of Calico would be pierced through the head. It was the lack of wanting to position themselves that caused this. With the momentum and extension and added flab by Calico the damage could be extremely deadly. Blood spilled on more than one side now. Due to carelessness and egos. A Snake will turn to a crab this day. Pulling down others that had done the same to him. Unlike crabs they did this due to misconceptions. While Calico did this so he can swim away. As in certain situations promises can't be fulfilled when you are the only person upholding them. There was no anger. There was only the will to live and killing to live was something people did on Jaya. As in the grand scheme of things. He would do his very best to guarantee his life was protected. As the one thing above this world was himself. Something he felt deeply about regardless of the situation. Too much motion however would cause maybe something strange to occur. Motion of turning away after someone spoke when apples didn't fall.

The darkness wasn't the only thing a factor in their environment. It'd begin to rain. A light drizzle quickly began to pick up in mere minutes. Like stated before Calico wasn't one of those fancy people that could tell the weather. But his experience as a shipwright and Pirate allowed him to make a quess how the weather would turn. How long it last also wasn't something he knew. But a rough estimate had been made prior about something else that he would use again. As if something didn't happen in two hours it wouldn't happen. It was a thick headed thought process but he was at times foolish to things that he didn't truly understand. Wind were powerful but those above the norm wouldn't be affected by this. Purely asetchies to the topic to add in a bit more flavor and detail.
