Hoist the Colors - ML Port Royal |Reno, Rydia and Xigbar|

You hear the distant sounds of gunfire, shouting and cannons.  What the hell's going on, and why does it sound like it's getting closer?

One second, Reno was lighting up a cigarette and stepping off of the curb to cross the street.

The next, he was falling.  Now, he could have misjudged the curb and been expecting to hit the street sooner, at least for the first second, then it became clear that he was not, indeed ever going to hit that street.  Instead, he landed a few feet on that one foot like he'd fallen through a hole.  "Huh?!"

He'd barely hit the wooden dock before he'd yelped his surprise, promptly lost his balance (hey, he wasn't expecting to fall that far, so he wasn't really prepared to catch himself, and it was only one foot he'd put first), and tipped backwards to try to use his other foot to regain his balance.  Then, he was falling again.

It was only a few feet once more, but it mattered.  There was nothing solid behind him when he stepped backwards except air, and finally, water.  He yelped again as he hit it and went right under, cigarette lost and forgotten as he kicked and started flailing in the deep water.  He naturally kicked at the bottom, trying to put his feet on something solid, and it wasn't there.  It was over his head, and frankly?  Reno was a shitty swimmer.  He'd only been in water deeper than a bathtub a handful of times, and most of those had involved a boat or a submarine.  Swimming wasn't his thing.  Shit.

ooc! Because Reno and Xigbar in Port Royal with pirates and booze is going to be a FANTASTIC idea.  Good luck keeping them in check, Rydia!
