It took several trips back and forth from Lyneel, and a lot of beri to afford the trip, but she was determined to finish it. And now that it was finally done, she took a moment to hold up the newly drawn map and compare it to her current view. The sun was setting low which made visibility dim, but the coastline matched perfectly. “Hey! What do you think you’re doing!” Uh oh. In order to get a good aerial view of an island, Piper was required to find the highest peak to reference from. And, well, on Kilauea, what with all the industrialized building, the tallest point she could climb up on was a smoke stack of one of the smithing companies. Sure it was hot, and steamy, and made her clothes stick awkwardly to her skin, but the view was perfect. The only problem with her current perch on the edge of the smoke stack where only one misstep would send her falling into a blazing fire, was that the workers didn’t quite appreciate it. The men apparently figured out who she was, because words of “you again!?” started to echo up towards her. She had hoped she would be able to get in and out without being noticed. So much for that. “Get down from there!” they called. Rolling up her maps and placing them back in her pack, Piper stood, toeing the edge of her perch. The shipwrights, blacksmiths and smithers that worked in the area were quickly being distracted by her. And Piper just waved from her spot. Though it did nothing to settle the growing panic. What, did they think she was going to jump or something? mugen - TAG 332 - COUNT suicidal? maybe? a little? xD none - TUNE [/style] [/style]

Mugen was casually walking through the busy streets in the city and carrying his old big leather bag in tow. He was doing errands for his family, he out in the market for some raw materials. Nothing special particular, just a day in and day out thing he usually did. But, his schedule may change very quickly. The next he knew, there was a sudden commotion going on like a chase and he looked around to find out what was the cause. Yet there it was people were yelling at one of the bigger factories, at one of the smoke stacks to be more precise. Mugen and many others started to gather at this specific location as on lookers, but Mugen figured he could help in some way like he usually does.

Once he arrived, he could see the cause quite vividly now, it was a woman. Nobody Mugen recognized that was for sure and her clothing didn’t match the style for the area either. It was probably a foreigner from another Blue, but why she was running in the first place? There was to tell at this point, but the crowd went into an uproar when she waved and even Mugen feared the worst. He had charge right in and do something. He placed his leather bag on a near-by bench as a rushed into the building adjacent to the one with the smoke tower. He was climbing level after level in his wake, trying to get to the roof as fast as he could. Mugen didn’t want people to die much less people standing in front of him, he can’t help himself really.

He looked out from the window to double check where the woman was every two floors he went past. Along the way he even had to apologize of getting in the way of some people’s work they doing in the building but he just had to push forward. He’s like a bull chasing the color red, he won’t stop charging until he gets at it.

There was quite a commotion going on down there. From her point of view, everyone looked no bigger than a small marble. And, honestly, she didn’t know what the big deal was. Piper was confident enough she was in no danger at all. In fact, she had climbed her way up here to begin with. You would think people would figure it out that she could very well get herself down. Especially since this isn’t the first time she was spotted on the same smoke stack. Kneeling down to balance her weight on just the balls of her feet, Piper crossed her arms over he knees and watched everyone shout and point. “Hey, I’m not in danger, you know.” Though she knew none of them could hear her, even if she yelled until her lungs burst. Ah, but she should probably get down. The last thing she needs is to get herself involved with the island’s authority. After all, she is a pirate. “Okay,” she sighed, hoisting herself back up to a stand. With a swing of her leg, she spun herself around and began a lazy walk around the edge of the smoke stack. As her blue hues left the ground far below, they lifted and refocused back on the horizon. The sun was halfway sunk into the ocean, spilling a beautiful pink and orange across the sky. Piper raised her hand and squinted in the light, a smile on her lips. mugen - TAG 244 - COUNT great! mugen's first impression: crazy lady none - TUNE [/style] [/style]

Racing ever so consistently to the rooftop, he noticed in one of his periodical breaks was the rooftop’s structure at the ledges had a ramp design. That gave him inspiration of an idea to get to one building to the next, but like each and every one of Mugen’s interesting “ideas” is not exactly for the faint of heart. Before making his arrival to the roof, he had to make a quick stop to pick up a certain item. It was to pick up a leftover sheet of metal used for raw material on ships. Then it was finally time to head to the rooftop, seeing the woman still at the tower, it time to take action. He just knew this was a crazy idea, but he has little to no time to think rationally with caution. He needs to throw that caution into the wind and go forward.

He placed the sheet of metal on the roof, and then Mugen stood on it, then he slowly put his weight in order to slide downward on the roof. The sparks flew a bit during the ride, but he was gaining speed and fast. At the point where he reached the ramp part of the roof, it propelled him into a sky a little bit and it actually almost gained the distance he needed to get to the other building’s roof. However, it was almost not enough and Mugen had to improvise right then. To what he improvised with, is quite simple, he jumped from that sheet of metal. Hoping to get that extra pump he needed to get to the other building.

His landing is not one of the most comfortable as he rolled about on the other roof, but with a few bruises to him is worth it to help a life. There was a slight problem Mugen is going realize that she might not need to be saved. When Mugen looked upward at the smoke stack to get a confirmation of where she was, Mugen the woman was propelling down the tower like she wasn’t suicidal after all. Yet, Mugen didn’t realize that fact until much later during his vote of confidence. “HEY! DON’T…jump?” He titled in confusion to why she knew how to get down, but another remained still. What was she doing up there in the first place?
