The yacht was much bigger than you expected, it's sails were also much taller than you originally thought them to be appearing to be at least twice the size of the boat itself.
Basically the whole boat was just something you've never seen up close in person let alone be on one. This would be your first.
Sitting down by the front of the boat with your legs over the side and arm over the middle bar of the handrail your gaze focused on the crystalline water below, your legs swinging a bit almost childishly. The small waves knocking against the side of the boat caused it to rock gently but not enough that you'd fear falling in.
"Careful, you might fall right through the bars." Hearing someone chime that out your head shifted to the side, (E/C) hues met with violet ones as Fugo's form stood just beside you leaning on the railing above, "And I'm pretty sure nobody would want that to happen."
Letting out a noise in acknowledgment you traced your finger across the bar keeping you from plunging into the water below. "That's fair, but if I did fall in who do you think would dive in first?" Returning your gaze back towards the water and absentmindedly asking that your fingers switched to tapping against the metal bar.
Pursing his lips into a line and tapping the bar as well he glanced down at you thankful that your own gaze was focused elsewhere, "Well I mean I'm closest to you at the moment so I'd like to think I'd be the one to dive in." He seemed confident with his answer and the hum that left your lips made it sound like you understood his short explanation.
"You seem quite confident with your answer Fugo, that's pretty reassuring." Pushing yourself away from the edge and raising to your feet you flashed the guy a smile, his face quickly warmed at this before Mista shouted out a question aimed towards Bruno.
"Come on Bucciarati! Hurry up and tell us where this boat is headed!" Catching sight of the gunslinger popping up from behind the boat's cabin entrance, everyone awaited the mans answer.

"Fine. We're far enough from the shore now." A wave slapped the side of the boat as Bruno moved to lean against one of the ships railings. "We're headed to Capri."
"Capri?" Quirking a brow at that response Abbacchio's tone seemed to lead into a 'why' sort of fashion, his arms crossing over one another to accompany the question.
"Why are we going there." Voicing the white haired man's unspoken question and leaning against the railing as well your focus remained on Bruno who answered right away.
"This morning, the capo Polpo committed suicide!" Announcing that the group appeared stunned, though you didn't really know the man very well you could tell it was quite the shock to everyone else, the large man being their capo after all.
Well, almost everyone.
"What? Suicide? Polpo did?" Asking the question on everyone's mind the group voiced out different words in shock, nobody could really digest that kind of information that quickly or suddenly.
"It doesn't matter why he died. Polpo was a capo who did things that'd get him killed."
"But what does he have to do with why we're going to Capri?" Asking that Fugo furrowed his brows together, there was obviously something important about their destination that the man had yet to disclose.
"Polpo actually has a secret fortune. It's worth...ten billion lire!" Announcing that then shifting in place he added on, "I'm the only person who knows where it's hidden. I was the one ordered to hide it. That ten billion now belongs to us! With that money we can claim the rank of capo!"
This was a tremendous change of events, you never really would've expected something like that to happen the same day as a new person joins. But you chalked that up to just mere coincidence. Bruno becoming a capo was something the group had talked about for awhile and honestly you thought he would make an amazing capo.
"Where is it? Where'd you hide that kind of fortune on Capri, Bucciarati?" Practically bouncing in place, Narancia's eyes sparkled at the amount of money.

"I can't tell you that yet. Rumors of his hidden fortune have made their rounds in the organization. No one can find out before we secure the money." Firmly stating that, by the end of Bruno's sentence the teen seemingly fell back kicking a bar off the railing, the leader's name left his lips before it appeared as though he was dragged down into something.
"Did something happen, Narancia?" Calling out towards where the ravenette once was and pointing towards the area once more Bruno was at a loss for words spotting the teens shoe pop up into the air quickly falling back down.
Quickly running over and hopping onto the raised section Mista paused, "H-Hey, come look at this!"
Gathering at the top and looking into what you assumed was a drain, Narancia's shoe was the only thing left behind. "Where did he go?" voicing your own concern and watching Abbacchio swipe the shoe from Giorno, Fugo spoke up from behind you. "I don't quite understand what's going on."
"You guys didn't see it? To me it looked like Narancia got pulled into this box." Resting a hand below his chin in thought Bruno thought over what had happened just a few seconds ago.
"What?-" "That's impossible! He didn't randomly fall into the ocean did he?" Cutting Fugo off abruptly Mista moved to grab a lifesaver calling out towards the missing member, "Hey, Narancia! If you're just looking around and hiding..." Jumping over the railing and down onto the lower deck he continued. "Hurry up and answer us!"
Feeling like something was very wrong you figured calling out for the black haired teen was a bit redundant seeing as everyone was doing it, but from each call you could tell one was missing. Peering over the railing towards the lower deck you spotted the orange ring Mista had been carrying roll around the floor before falling flat, "Mista?" Calling that out in hoped of spotting the gunslinger no response was received.
"Mista! Where'd you go?!" Hearing you call out the name, Fugo also looked around the lower deck. He hadn't realized the man was missing till you began calling out.
Jumping down from where the two of you were standing Fugo moved hastily towards the cabins doorway swinging it open, "Come on Mista! Why are you messing around now-" The blonds hand let go of the door and no sound emanated from the area.
"Fugo?" Shifting once more to look over the railing, your eyes were met with an empty doorway and a large cracked section of the boat beside the steering wheel, "Where'd he go?!"
Looking around the area and catching no sign of either of the two you called out for, Bruno's gaze trained on where you were, "(Y/N), Abbacchio, Giorno, stay close to each other! We're being attacked!"
Cautiously hopping over the railing and standing with the other three everyone remained on high alert, there was no way three people could just disappear like that.
It was crazy.
"There's someone hiding on this boat! This is a stand attack!" Pointing out what the current situation was, Bruno's eyes darted across the boats exterior.
Doing the same Abbacchio remained ready to jump into action, "But why now?"
"The money."
"Someone found out that I knew where the money was, and they're looking to steal it. Which means they're from the organization." Explaining that and still looking around his answer did make sense.
You did however think it was crazy that different groups in the same organization would attack one another.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Giorno hearing that Polpo Died:
Aha here we go starting things of with Giorno Joining, I honestly find a lot of what Y/N says ironic considering we as the readers know what happened.
As always though thank you all for reading! If you have any questions feel free to ask! I know a bit of it might get jumbled up later so I'm just letting you all know I'm good to answer stuff!

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
