~* Before the pirate-clad girl could respond, they were all pulled into a strange rift, and Nanami looked around wide-eyed as her new group all found themselves in a new room. Noticing her new companions spoke to her, and seemingly un-freaked-out by all of this, she assumed they had been in this kind of situation before.
"I... yeah... I'm here for the same reasons..."
~* She nodded, gripping her cannons tightly. At the other man's request to watch his back, she would lift her cannons up at the ready just in case something weird popped out.
"Don't worry, I'm a good shot."
~* She was curious about what everyone was doing, and what their plans could be, however.

~* Nanami was in awe as she saw how a simple piece of equipment made her feel so much stronger. Feeling more confident in herself now, she would follow along wherever the bulk of the army went, planning on aiming at and shooting any enemy forces she saw with her cannons.
"Don't look at their faces..." She muttered to herself as she advanced.

"But cap'n! This don't seem like a good idea!"
~* Nanami's men were pleading with her, but the pirate princess merely laughed heartily as she stood at the forefront of her ship, hands on her hips.
"Do you think rumors of a haunted temple can shiver my timbers?! I'll waltz in there and prove everything wrong!"
She leaped from her ship to the sandy banks below, losing her footing upon landing and falling onto her booty. Wincing a bit as she stood up and rubbed her butt, she stood up straight and acted tough again.
"You yellowbellies just stay up there! I'll go this alone!"
"But cap'n..."
"I'll be back in a jiffy!"
~* Getting her cannons at the ready, she ignored the protests of her men as she headed for the monastery. Entering the doors, however, she would see three other people there.
"Oh... uh... hello."

"I am Chosokabe Nanami, I come on behalf of my father! I would like to speak to Amakusa Takehiro!"
~* Nanami arrived in Totomi, declaring her intentions to the guards outside of Takehiro's main camp. The petite pirate was here to see the demon that had once saved her life. It was her intentions to form an alliance of peace with the Daimyo of Totomi, showing that the Chosokabe meant no harm to them. She hoped this would spare them from the man's ambition of conquering the land. An ally of the sea could prove useful, powerful even. And the Chosokabe owed the Demon of Totomi for saving Nanami's life previously.

~* Nanami was in the area, curious about finding herself a new rifle. Checking out the ones that the fancy looking dealer had brought, she examined them closely...
"... These rifles suck."
~* She handed it back to the merchant and stomped off disappointed. She figured she'd just stick to her handcannons.

~* Nanami listened curiously to Jina and Brandt talking, nomming on her fish quietly. Brandt being a sellsword interested her, though it wasn't that she was interested in purchasing his services exactly. She was rather worried that someone else would eventually use him against the Chosokabe, but nevertheless, the petite girl gave a small smile.
"In other words... you're a mercenary, correct? I think my father would be interested in meeting a man of your caliber. He's... let's just say he's the type of man who values strength greatly. And he pays even greater." She beamed brightly. "Same with you, Jina-san. Perhaps someday I could introduce you both to him."

~* Nanami really did see life in a different way from most. She wasn't going to be cold and jaded like most of the people around her, she believed that there was a place for kindness in the world. She didn't care about war, conquest, none of that. All she wanted was to sail the seas with her friends and her father. It was a simple desire, yet one that the world threatened to take away from her.
~* Seeing Amaya point towards a clearing, Nanami examined it as they got closer. It seemed like it would work just fine. She carried her companion with her, taking it slowly uphill as to not strain her injuries further. Once they were at a good spot, Nanami would find a place for her new friend to sit, helping her down carefully before sitting down in a slump nearby.
"Phew... this should be good for now. How are you holding up, Amaya-san?"

~* Nanami would follow along the unit from the armory, staying close to Constantine. While he would pick off any lone soldiers, the pirate would be aiming her cannons at groups of soldiers, firing and planning on decimating entire squads all at once. This was to ensure her companion's tactic of picking off single soldiers could continue without worry.

"Eh? Whoops... haha..."
~* Nanami realized that she had completely missed, striking Mr. Good Guy's Good Guy Doppleganger, causing his entire attack to go off course. There was just an entire mess of things happening there.
~* The pirate princess decided to just... casually escort Constantine back to the Oda camp as he brought the equipment back, making sure that they would run into no trouble along the way.

"I won't let the sea... or this island... claim you."
~* Nanami spoke as the two of them started to move. It would be slow, of course, as Nanami did not want to push Amaya too hard. The less her partner was hurt, the better. Despite being a pirate, she shared her father's kind heart. She wasn't only helping this woman out because her survival depended on it. She did this to help a stranger in need, and someone that she decided that she could care for.
"Let me know if you need to stop to rest... and I'll do whatever I can to help while you need it."
~* Even if she had to do most of the work the first few days, Nanami was fine with it. It would offer a much needed distraction from all that had transpired. She only hoped they could find a nice clearing to set up camp in soon enough.

~* Seeing the other woman was hurt, Nanami would move to catch her. Doing her best to support her, the pirate would frown.
"Amaya-san... your injuries..."
~* Nanami closed her eyes, wondering what she should do. Until her companion was better, she couldn't count on her as much as she initially hoped. Until that point came, Nanami would have to do the bulk of the work, and while she didn't mind... in this situation, it was hard enough to keep oneself alive, let alone another person on top of that. Opening her eyes, she would look at Amaya.
"Don't push yourself too hard, okay? We need to get some place safe enough to camp out, and then you need to rest up."
~* If Amaya was up to it, Nanami would support her for the walk to find some place else. The seaside amongst the dead was not the ideal place for it.

~* The woman's smile made Nanami feel a little bit better. The tears were slowly fighting themselves back, and Nanami did her best not to cry again and make her efforts feel like they were for nothing. But she was right, they had to secure food and shelter soon, or else they'd have a rough time on this island.
"Amaya-san... y-yes, you're right. My father taught me much. In a few hours, I could probably get all of that done for us..."
~* Nanami and her father, Motochika, had often renovated their ship together, and Nanami was no stranger to helping build hopes for people who had none or who had lost theirs. Now it was simply a matter of building a shelter for themselves, one that could be improved overtime to make things a bit more comfortable. As for the food, she had practice with that as well.
"Just... leave it to me." She smiled weakly. The pieces of the ship that actually reached the island would probably be a huge part of their shelter, as much as it pained the pirate princess.

~* Nanami hiccuped, looking up slowly when the other woman had gotten closer and touched her shoulder. Through red and teary eyes, the pirate took in what the other woman had said, nodding slowly after a while.
"... Y-yeah... you're right..."
~* This was hard on Nanami. Never before had she lost a single member of her crew, and then all at once, she lost all of them. Her crew, her friends, her family. All were claimed by the harshness of the sea. The sea that Nanami once sailed so confidently, so freely. She was now frightened by the harsh truth that she learned, that the sea could also be a cruel mistress. Her home, her life, even her name had come from the seas... she felt as if everything had been taken away from her, and the mere thought of it all made her heart snap.
"U-um..."
~* She began to speak, or tried, stalled by her tears. She began to wipe away at her eyes frantically with her hands, trying to calm herself down, relaxing her breathing the best she could. After a few moments, she seemed more composed, but one could tell easily that she was moments away from breaking apart again.
"N-Nanami..."
~* She would utter her name to the stranger, unsure if she'd get a name back in return. She felt the other woman was someone she could trust, or at least, that she had to trust her for the time being. They were all alone on an island, they only had each other to survive.

~* Nanami jumped up, or at least attempted to, but her body felt too heavy, and she ended up falling back to the floor, weak. She looked up at the source of the voice, slightly relieved to find a woman there, or maybe she was just glad that there was at least one other soul on this island. But based on her words, perhaps there were only the two of them who survived. And the woman definitely wasn't with the Chosokabe... this meant that not a single other person from Nanami's ship had survived, and the princess looked up at the other woman with tears in her eyes.
"E-everyone... is gone...?"
~* The reality still hadn't hit her completely, and she was trembling, trying to keep it together the best she could. The normally cocky and confident pirate was broken, and even in front of this stranger, she couldn't keep her facade up. She had no idea how they would get home, or even if they could. She didn't know how she could face her father, and rest of the Chosokabe. She didn't even know how to face the one other survivor who was on the island with her. And so she let out a cry as she burst into tears again, covering her face with her hands.

"I gotcho back, buddy!"
~ Nanami would go up besides Constantine, watching his back as he began to move the armory's contents away, aiming her cannons at any approaching Imagawa soldiers, firing at them. She noticed a burly man (Mikhael) trying to stomp down on one of her allies, and she would aim her cannon at him, firing with the intent to level the man where he stood.

"D-daddy..."
~* Nanami began to come to her senses, finding herself in the middle of the sea, being held up in the water by a piece of stray wood. Taking a moment to adjust to everything and get over the throbbing pain in her head, she looked around, realizing where she was. The bodies of her fellow sailors were floating around her in various locations, and much of their cargo had been scattered amongst the waves. Tears began to well up in her eyes.
"G-guys... wake up..."
~* They would not answer. The life already drained from the bodies of her fellow pirates. The pirate princess began to sob uncontrollably, hit with the realization that her entire crew was now lost. A freak storm had hit their ship, and it had taken everything away. She wasn't the great captain she claimed herself to be, nor was she as fit to lead as her father trusted. These men believed in her, and she couldn't steer them out of harm's way. Now they were dead, and Nanami could only blame herself.
"E-everyone... I'm... I'm sorry..."
~* She would drift in the water, crying her eyes out. She didn't know how much time had passed before her eyes finally dried up, and she began to take deep breaths, trying to calm down. She could see an island in the distance, and knew she couldn't allow herself to die at see. Her father would lament the loss of his men, but he couldn't lose his daughter too.
~* She began to kick her feet, swimming closer to the island using the driftwood as support. She was tired and achy from the shipwreck, but she would kick as hard as she could, trying to make it to shore. The bodies that surrounded her made her want to get away from her failure that much faster, and she wouldn't stop kicking until she finally felt the ground beneath her. Getting off from the wood, she would make her way to the beach, clothes heavy and drenched from the water, and collapse on the dry land, rolling over onto her back. Here she was, in uncharted territory. She didn't know if she was alone or not, but she had to survive until she could get home to her father.
~* The Chosokabe princess closed her eyes, trying her best not to cry anymore.

"Phew... everyone okay?"
~* Nanami would call to the others, checking up on them. That was a hell of an experience, and she was eager to get out of here as soon as possible. She would keep her cannons at the ready, inching closer to the door but keeping her guard up. She had a feeling they weren't done yet.

Thanks, guys. There's a lot of legal stuff and worrying about if the insurance company will even cover the damages (apparently he struck three other cars) or else we have to pay money out of our own pockets that we just don't have... but I'm hoping for the best.
Looks like I'm set for a Tuesday return though, if all goes well.

"Oh crud!"
~* Nanami would exclaim as she saw Jina being pinned down. She aimed both of her cannons at the one leaping for her legs, attempting to blow it out of the air before it got to her. It was too risky to hit the other one while she was so close to it.

"HOW THE -BLEEP- DID I -BLEEP-ING MISS!?"
~* Nanami was hardcore freaking out now, and probably just losing her mind by all of this weird crap going on. She aimed one of her cannons at the monster, planning on blowing it to smithereens.
~* She would aim her second cannon for the one that was about to pounce on Shoji, firing at it and aiming to save her comrade's laifu.

~* So the man was a killer. Not that it surprised Nanami too much, she kind of figured if he was carrying a weapon around like this. But even so, he did not seem the type to kill just to kill... perhaps he was another sell sword, only the sword he sold was pretty friggin' huge. And he seemed to eat fish bones included, which she thought was pretty metal.
"So where are you from, Brandt?"
~* She inquired with a smile. She was genuinely curious, wondering if she had possibly heard what part of the world he came from.
~* She would have a little sweatdrop seeing Jina trip, but upon her getting right back up, Nanami was relieved. The girl was certainly... energetic. Grabbing one of the fish on a stick, she would hold it out to Jina.
"Here, eat up. You look pretty famished."

~* Nanami watched as the man squeezed the blood out of his cloak into the ocean water. She cringed a bit, the sight of blood not being something she thought she could ever get used to. It was a part of her that made her feel unbecoming of a pirate, or of being her father's daughter. The heir to the Chosokabe dynasty had to be more gutsy than this, right?
"It's not in my nature to let people try to take advantage of another, especially at that person's expense."
~* She said in response, watching him as he gathered up some wood. She wondered if he had bamboo where he came from. Finding a nice, flat rock, she would make sure there was no sand on it before laying the fish atop of it, helping to gather some wood as well. When there was a sufficient amount, she would try her hand at starting a fire.
"And also... I was curious about you. I like learning more about other places, you see."
~* She gave a small smile, prepping the fish ready to be cooked. Soon, they would be roasting over the fire that the two had started, and Nanami would stare into the fire without a word. The embers seemed to spark something from her past. When the Chosokabe had wiped out the Okiayu, the burning of her home... but she held no animosity towards them.
~* She broke out of her thoughts when she heard a familiar voice, looking up for a moment at the newcomer. Her eyes squinted a bit as she tried to remember, before widening upon recognizing them.
"... Jina? What are you doing here?"
