The carrier sways under heavy seas, the frequency just right to keep anyone from gaining firm footing. Walking is possible, running difficult; but standing still and aiming a gun is asking to land flat on your face.
The ship is devoid of aircraft, and many of the hatches are open. Doors that would be sealed under normal conditions are, as water would sink the ship if they weren't. These are the only hatches that are closed and must remain so.
Sitting on the deck is Manae, slowling swaying back and forth so that his body is always upright. Under a light blue sleeveless shirt is a metal/plastic composite scale maille armor chestplate, a personal armor balanced against both bullets and bladed weapons. Strapped to his back is a slender sword, forged of Damiscus steel. The stiff blade is sharp enough to cut easily, but it is more suited to stab than slice. On his left hip is a Special Edition Colt .45 six-shot revolver. The kick is high, but the stoping power is higher. On his right hip is a optionally breach-loadable Peacemaker revolver. On his belt are four ready-to-load clips of bullets for the Colt, one for the Peacemaker, and a half dozen un-clipped for breach-loading.
If you're ready, come for me. Rules? Simple enough: come lightly armed. Any more than a few pounds over your own weight will leave you comletely off balance and in the sea on this boat.

IC: Retal slams into the deck with all fourty of his tentacles, using them to steady himself as he drops down from the island tower to land on the deck before Manae. He is dressed in full matte black body armor, including helmet, designed for use against bladed weapons, not bullets; as well as a black cape. On his back, concealed beneath the cloak is a twin-bladed sword, his signature weapon which can cleave through most forms of metal with full force put behind the swing; equally adapt at slicing and stabbing. In holsters at his side are one PPK and one desert eagle, four clips for each strapped onto his belt."Let's rock, your move." The tentacles retract, and Retal draws forth the desert eagle, activating the laser sight and spitting a red dot on the deck in between Manae's legs...

Manae smiles.
Suddenly, he simply rolls over, quickly disappearing down the slope of the landing deck. By the time the ship begins rocking back the other way, it's too late, and he slips off the edge.
But this was no accident. Manae lands lightly on the elevator twenty feet below, using a martial arts-style roll to keep himself from being hurt. Standing, he disappears into the hanger.

"What th-" Retal then remembers what is contained in the lower deck below the launch deck."Ohh, alright then, let's play in a more spacious environment..." Retal then once again extends his tentacles and stabs into the side of the ship, using them as a brace to hold himself steady as he drops onto the elevator, both his guns held at the ready, croutched low in order to better keep his footing. Slowly and carefully, after retracting his tentacles, Retal steps into the hangar, listening intently for any sound or sign of Manae...

With a sudden, loud grating, the firewall seperating the spacious hanger begin closing. Intent to locate his quarry, Retal's head snaps towards the sound. In a swift move, Manae comes from behind a support, fires a shot towards Retal's body and rolls through a hatch, closing the door several degrees as a sheild.

Retal curses as he drops to the deck, realizing he had been had. However, he notes the closing hatch, now locating his foe.
Silently, Retal steps towards it, getting back onto his feet quietly. He holsters his PPK and draws forth his blade, extending one of the two blades out as he creeps ever more quietly along the wall. Then, gathering his strength, Retal stabs the blade through the wall with all his strength, hoping to catch Manae by surprise...NOTE: The blade tips are almost four feet in length.

Avoiding taking a shot as Retal approached, feeling he may have had an ace up his sleeve to make him waste some ammo, Manae let him come. Realizing what was about to happen, he let the door close further so he couldn't be seen dropping down low. As the blade come through the wall, Manae placed his gun right against it and fired, shattering the blade two feet down.
Manae let out a cry of slight surprize as the flying shrapnel cut his cheek and brow.

Now angry, Retal pulls his blade out of the wall and uses his tentacles to throw the door open, popping his desert eagle in it just enough to plug a shot or two at Manae, then recoils his hand to avoid retribution...

Already ducked low enough to be missed, all Retal hears is the disappointing ping of bullets on metal and footsteps, and all he feals is a sharp pain in a tentacle as a bullet rips into it.
Manae disappears into another doorway, bound for the mess hall.

Manae disappears into another doorway, bound for the mess hall. Retal tears through the corridors, charging after Manae, but instead of chasing behind him, he seeks alternate routes, hoping to get to the mess hall before Manae did...

Manae runs down the hall he went through, slides down a single ladder, down one more hall, and arrives at the mess hall. Listening for which direction Retal would come from, Manae drew his Peacemaker. As Retal came into the long hall, Manae gave it a moment, then popped into view from the opposite side of the hall.
Fool!
Firing down the hall, covering a large area with several bullets, Mane left Retal with nowhere to go.

Firing down the hall, covering a large area with several bullets, Mane left Retal with nowhere to go. And Retal went nowhere. He dropped his desert eagle and held his blade in two hands, extending the second undamaged blade, spinning it before him, deflecting the one or two rounds that were heading for him just enough that they tore long scars in his helmet and ripped some skin in Retal's left shoulder. Roaring, ignoring his pain, Retal hurled his blade at Manae, then drew forth his PPK and fired off two shots at Manae's legs...

Manae kicked over a table to protect his legs while simultaneously deflecting the incoming sword into the wall. Once again, he quickly places a point-blank shot into the blade, inches from the hilt, to finish off the good side. Manae quickly fired a shot from his Peacemaker towards Retal, and crouched low following the creeping table with the tilt of the ship as he placed a new set of bullets into his empty Colt.

Liking his sword very much, Retal slapped Manae's hand away with a tentacle, ruining his shot and saving the blade's remaining good side. Using that tentacle and another, he reclaimed his weapons and took his desert eagle, pumping the rest of his clip into the table and Manae beyond.
Then he rolled along with the ship and rolled behind a girder while he reloaded...

<OOC: Okay, level with me, here. Just how long are those tentacles? I mean, this ain't no small hall. Mess halls are huge. Not only can you reach all the way across, but fast enough to keep someone from shooting the second a sword lands beside them? I'm either calling you out on this one, or letting you accept what I'm about to do.>
As the sword was freed from the wall, Manae drew his own and, in the same motion, swept it through the tentacles in front of him. Grabbing the sword off the floor, he dropped behind a table to reload, throwing himself on the ground as he heard shots go off. As soon as they stopped, he fired a shot from his peacemaker towards Retal as he ran for a beam.
