Sure enough, where lots of people gathered, a market was bound to pop up. But with this crowd, the stalls that popped up were primarily fencing stolen goods from pirates. There were some cook stands, a few midway games, just for fun, and the occasioanly bounty hunter booth to get information or mercenary work. Walking along the midway, eating a wand of blue cotton candy, Amy Valentine was looking through the crowd. She was sort of wandering what was going on here. The flyer seemed to offer up some prizes. There was always the possibility for more beli, but she was wanting something money couldn't buy. She wanted to travel to the Grand Line and see the New World. This was a nice Glimpse, but it was more of a tease.
Dressed in a white short sleeve v-neck shirt with two blue stripes at each hemline and a thick blue stripe across the chest and two thinner ones under it, a yellow short skirt with two white circles on each side with a darker yellow center, and a pair of borwn ankle boots with a short wide heel, the blue haired mero mero woman, noted a few of the more interesting visitors to the island. Many of them seemed weak, but there were the occasional that seemed powerful. This was an even all about crews and she was here all alone. |

The smell of fried meat permeated the air. The shouting of merchants praising their wares and joyous customers rang throughout the port of Cactus Island. Alvander had arrived on the island for two reasons. For one, their had been rumblings of something huge going down and he wanted to be a part of it. A huge influx of people had been arriving in the Grand Line, more so than usual. The other reason, the one that concerned him more, was that apparently someone connected to the World Government's experiment trials was suppose to be there, though the information was shaky at best.
As he walked around, a blue-haired girl caught his attention. It was almost as if he was being drawn to her. He was about to approach her, but noticed the people, namely the men, around her. It was almost as if everyone was awestruck at the site of her. As she took a bite out of the cotton candy she had, Alvander licked his lips, then shook his head violently from side-to-side. This lady... What is this? He approached her and decided to see if she knew anything about what he was looking for. "Hello miss. I... couldn't help but notice you... Anyway I have been scouring this market for... maybe some experimental trial medicine? I had heard something like that was going around. Any word on that?"

Hyde saw many of things in this gathering, but the forefront had definitely been opportunity. The opportunity to meet like-minded people, the opportunity to show his worth to his fellow pirates, the opportunity to shell his wares and make some money, but most of all, he saw the opportunity to find a purpose. Somewhere on this damn island, there was a crew willing to take him in... but business came first, which is why this would come first. Unfortunately, Hyde's trip to the island had been less than stellar: he had really no choice to buy his way here with no ship to speak of at the moment, and then that ship got into trouble with another ship and, well, there was a reason why Hyde had come to Cactus Island on a make-shift raft. The unfortunate situations, sea-sickness, and a near-fatal incident where he dropped into the sea had made Hyde exhausted, and unfortunately, he had been having some issues with his Devil Fruit power this morning... but business always comes first, right?
Hyde trudged through the locker sale, when he heard something that made his ears perk.
"Hello miss. I... couldn't help but notice you... Anyway I have been scouring this market for... maybe some experimental trial medicine? I had heard something like that was going around. Any word on that?"
Hyde's head turns as he immediately approaches the two. Medicine always goes for a high price, and there are certain pills and drugs that aren't allowed in certain kingdoms and on certain islands. If Hyde can smuggle something rare and new, the Belli will fly in.
"Hey, I'd actually be pretty interested as well-"
Immediately, Hyde's hoodie busts open, as a small mountain of objects drop onto the floor, including his two handguns, his favorite dagger, a few packages of bullets, a small suitcase containing a few changes of clothes, an undetonated smoke bomb, a carpentry set, multiple newspapers, a few books, some ship schematic sketches, and lastly, a toy robot.
Hyde groans, barely keeping his footing as he looks around: hungry faces adorn some of the pirates around him as he tries desperately to shove the contents of his chest back in, as a blush comes across his face.
"I-I'm sorry about this."

So far the day had been uneventful. She had more than her fair share of admirers, but she had just started to get used to the attention. It was a part of the curse, leads those of impure hearts to her and the wicked turn to stone. Combine that with her inability to swim and it would lead anyone to think that the only thing allowed to touch her was her clothing and skin. Though she was pretty sure swords and bullets would be able to as well, they just fell into the same category of things she would rather not have touch her. As she was just about to look at a cute dress being sold by a scruffy mountain of a man, she was approached. "Hello miss. I... couldn't help but notice you... Anyway I have been scouring this market for... maybe some experimental trial medicine? I had heard something like that was going around. Any word on that?" Experimental medicine? Was this guy sick....no it had to be for a sick loved one. She placed her finger on her lips in thought just before another one came up. "Hey, I'd actually be pretty interested as well-" And then he managed to somehow drop his pocket and everything came falling out. And he was carrying quite a haul in his small frame. "I-I'm sorry about this."
She knelt down and started to help him pick up his belongings and passing them to him. She could only lift up stuff with one hand as she held her cotton candy to the side. She was all for being nice to him, but she wasn't about ready to throw away her snack. "There is a Medical block a little bit to the south from here. Quite a few Ship Doctors have gathered in one place and are swapping information. Perhaps one of them have what you are looking for." |

After Alvander asked his question, another person chimed in about being interested in the experimental medicine. However, as soon as this person said this, it was as if he exploded, at least in Alvander's mind. Tons of items, many destructive, came raining out of the bi-speckled man's hood. Alvander caught a glimpse of what he thought was a bomb and he jumped back, putting his hands up in a futile attempt to shield himself from the blast. And then nothing happened. He didn't understand what had happened, but let out a sigh of relief. He bent down and assisted in retrieving the items off of the ground.
"Umm y-yeah. That stall was useless for me. A crazy man selling snake oil. Oh well. It is probably better this way." He held his tongue. I probably shouldn't have said that last part... That will make it seem weird. Oh well. Since the medicine was a false lead maybe that means they are halting the experiments? Dad may still be a prisoner... but as long as he isn't being tampered with. As he and the blue-haired beauty finished gathering the items he tried to move the conversation away from the medicine. "I'm sorry, I have been terribly rude... My name is Alvander Furros. I have come here... in order to get stronger."
