	Sakura almost slipped off the railing but she caught herself. Smiling bright she purposefully flipped over the side of Shippy and hung onto the railings from the other side of the ship. Then she hung on with one hand, and pumped her fist into the air. There were fish, a pirate ship, a street fight, a clown, the sun and the salty air! Oh, it was almost too much! Sakura flung herself back over the railing like the fish being tossed overboard on the other place's deck. Though it seemed they might not be able to see the end of the fight, it was fun while it lasted. Sakura was beaming brightly, having forgotten all her troubles as she was swept away with the spirit of adventure.

	[color=fff79a]"This is--- ugh! Amazing!"[/color] She was beside herself. Sakura had never gone fishing before but watched her crewmates do so with interest, folding her arms behind her back and tilting her entire body with curiosity. Especially looking over towards Isabelle and her catch. Fish. [color=fff79a]"Fish." [/color] She murmered. They were dying.

	[color=fff79a][i]Huh...sucks to be the fish. I guess I never really thought about the thing that needs to die before I get sushi or steak. Maybe I should become a vegetarian! Might be fun. Hmm...I'll think about it. I hate to say it, but I don't really care about the fish that much. Sorry little guy, I'm just not in it for you.[/i][/color] With a shrug, she skipped over to the front of the ship to watch them reach their destination.

	Sakura squinted as she saw the island city in the distance. [color=fff79a]"...Wow. It's beautiful!"[/color] She found herself grooving to the music, tapping the railing and pausing with the pauses, moving her shoulders up and town. She ended up dancing casually the entire rest of the way, in a loose free way and every once in a while transitioning into her favorite dance move.

	From on deck, she watched Peach's curious encounters with a pair of women who were cosplaying as battleships, and had superpowers related to them. Well, she had seen more outlandish street fighters in her time, so dressing up as boats- and having the naval affinity to back it up- wasn't the weirdest thing in the world. Still, she hoped they didn't actually think they were boats. Because they weren't boats- they were people.

	Brineybeard didn't seem to like them very much, and Sakura found herself feeling bad for the old pirate. [color=fff79a]"Bye, Captain Brineybeard!" [/color]She called out. [color=fff79a]"Hope you find some buried treasure!"[/color] Then she skipped onland. Once there she turned around and waved discreetly to the mischevious boat itself.

	Sakura had heard from the boat lady had said but was overwhelmed with options. Turtle boy junior had already scampered off, and while Sakura was eager to do the same she [i]really[/i] did not want to get lost. She looked to some of the people she had already developed a bit of a repertoire with, Isabelle, Ace Cadet, Geralt, and Princess Peach. She wanted to make sure someone also took care of the cuphead and the hat kid, and the green hatted boy seemed like a real adventurer who could take care of himself. So maybe Sakura just didn't want to admit she had more in common with the younger seeming members of the group than she did the hardened adventurers. 

	Sure, Sakura had travelled alone a lot, quite frequently. But that was on a world where she was 99% sure she wasn't going to get attacked by giant monsters or get sucked off into another mini-dimension. Here? Not so much. If she got separated from the group- goodbye adventure, goodbye chance to help save the world. There were actual stakes this time, unlike her previous world-trotting escapades. At the same time, though...there was an immense urge to just get lost in this urban metropolis. So much so that Sakura almost skipped off to follow Junior before she skidded to halt and jogged by towards the group.

	She travelled toward the center of the group, trying to keep everyone in sight. [color=fff79a]"I, uh, I don't know where to go, or what to do."[/color] She chuckled nervously.[color=fff79a] "I just kinda wanna go dive in...Bulkwark hall, right? We meet up back there? Or somewhere else? It's just--I know I can get side tracked and--" [/color]Sakura glanced down and flattened the edges of her skirt. [color=fff79a]"Well, I'm trying to...responsible." [/color] She decided. It was clear that the idea was one she was inexperienced with, and with the eager tapping of one of her bright red sneaker it was clear she was resisting the urge to wade into a new, unexplored environment.
