cruise adventure ] [ Española Island
Who: Anyone on the Cruise
Where: Española Island
What: Fun Times!
When: Wednesday the 25th of June
Notes: Feel free to make your own section! Prose or brackets are welcome, just respect what the other person does!
The cruise ship ports early in the morning having traveled the distance from the previous island to the Española. Breakfast is served on the main deck, letting everyone take in all of the amazing blue water. Cast your eyes up the shore to the white beaches where if you look, you can see the sea lions just starting to sun themselves in the early morning brightness. They'll start to call to each other once the day carries on. For now, enjoy the quiet.
When you're done with breakfast, head out to the beaches. There's a cool breeze off the water so it's not as hot as you might thing, even with the sun beating off that bright white sand. You can go shopping or plan your day around the animals that are native to the island. Española is the oldest of the Galapagos islands, estimated at 3 million years old, allowing its wildlife to evolve the most. Prepare yourself to see things you haven't seen before and much closer than you imagined.
Watch out for the Hood Mockingbird! They are not afraid of you at all and don't be alarmed if they land on your head! They are not the only birds native to the island, you'll also be able to enjoy the amazing site of the Waved Albatross. These large birds utilize the high cliffs of the island to their advantage. Take a moment to see if you can catch one of them feeding from the ocean.
Enjoy your time on the island, you can even schedule yourself some time in the water. There's plenty to do today!
Welcome to the Island!
in case anyone is up for late cruise-going backtags!
It's early in the morning, still, but he's already prepared to take off to the island and enjoy a good sunbath (and a quick dip, maybe, but saltwater would be bad for his feathers.
Of course, as soon as he's ashore he finds himself face-to-face turtles, attempting to have a one-sided conversation with them.]
Hello, my friends! Some day we're having, isn't it?
no subject
Castle turned you into a bird?
no subject
Quite the opposite, sir! I'm always a bird, but it seems to like turning me into a human! Thankfully, it spared me for this little rendezvous.
no subject
Have you always been a talking bird? Or is this just a 'being in magical la la land' thing? [ Ha! Talking animals. This is always such a Disney moment. Still wishes the castle would give him a talking pet rat someday. ]
no subject
Every day of my life! Since I learned to talk, that is - I'd like to say I hatched with such a remarkable vocabulary, but these things do take time.
I should clear the air: This is the norm, where I'm from!
no subject
Are you ever in human form back home?
no subject
My guess is that you're a human, and always have been!
no subject
Are there humans back in your world?
no subject
There are some, still ...
Just not nearly as many as there used to be, you know? Times got tough.

[Yuuya thoughtfully sidesteps away from the tortoises, putting some room between him and them.]
It's a little awkward to hear, isn't it? I bet doves here wouldn't believe me if I told them I came from a universe where we're uplifted, either.
I has to be a real shock! I can't even put myself in your shoes.
But it's nothing that I think would repeat itself, mon ami! My world must be unique as yours truly!
