Japanese? Still a foreign language! But body cues? Body cues are easy enough to understand, and Joker follows Ginko's gaze. Right, too long in the air and, well. An obvious problem arises. Scrunching up his mouth, he twists his body around until he can flop in the proper direction without tail-slapping Ginko. Unfortunately, well...

Sand, at least, allows for some degree of easy dragging. A lot of the time, it's a little wet to some effect, and the tiny little rocks it was all composed off allows traction for his hand to dig into. On relatively smooth wood, with one hand, and everything else...

Well.

It's kind of obvious what's going to happen even before Joker starts forcing himself along. Being beached has nothing on being stuck on the deck of a ship, as it turns out. That's something which would be hard for any creature relying purely on their upper body for a lack of legs. With only one good arm, well, that's something that's made all the harder, and Joker's own clearly strain while his hand scrambles against the planks. After a few seconds of dragging a very heavy lower half, he temporarily gives up and flops face down against the deck. The peculiar sound that comes from him is like a series of bubbles popping in his throat.
