I am curious how many others have had to deal with someone on their crew suddenly becoming inexplicably violent? To the point of obsessive.

At present I am considering this a curse, though if it seems to be isolated to only a few perhaps something else is going on instead.

[Either way, he is extremely unimpressed right now. The last thing he expected when he awoke this morning was that the captain would try to murder the crew.]

I am also going to put this out there. Half of my crew mates have vanished without a trace and I would very much like to see our ranks replenished. Is there anyone who might be enticed to join the Glided Rose? Of course, our captain will have the final say once she is no longer indispose. However candidates shall be dealing with me first and foremost.

[With that said, he stops writing and closes the journal.]

ETA: Private to Dave(dersite_dj).

I may have a vague lead as what is affecting the Captain. I need to speak with you immediately.

Violent?

[Forgive the captain of the Antoinette, he was out cold since the earthquake and his injuries, so he wasn't quite up to date with everything happening.]



How violent~!?

[hisoldtricks]

Very violent. In the realm of bloodthirsty violent.

[princelycharm]

So far my crew hasn't been violent at all...

Did they have reason to be violent? And how is the rest of your crew?

[hisoldtricks]

Then you are one of the fortunate crews not to be touched by what curse that is about.

No, her bloodthirst was entirely unprovoked and irrational.

[princelycharm]

I'm very glad for my crew then... but this only means danger for us isn't it?

What are you doing to her as a precaution? Is she locked in her cabin?

[hisoldtricks]

Indeed, it would be prudent, not to allow anyone aboard your ship without making certain they have not been tainted first.

She has been restrained and rendered unconscious for the time being.

[princelycharm]

Are there any physical signs? Or are they really just extra-murderous all of a sudden?

That's good. Maybe it is something contagious?

[hisoldtricks]

The only signs would be if they act more aggressive and angry than what can be considered normal for them.

I doubt that it is. My crew mates and I were exposed to her hours ago and none of us are feeling particularly murderous.

[princelycharm]

But not all of us are affected, which is strange. Maybe somebody is doing this to us?

Well its still best to be cautious, yes? Cause no one really knows what caused this.

[hisoldtricks]

I have heard a few people speculated that it may be the doing of the witch that Dog mentioned on her broadcast.


True enough, we all must do what we must to protect our crews.

[princelycharm]

You mean that woman's voice that came before the earthquake?

I hope no one was seriously injured among your ranks?

[hisoldtricks]

I am honestly not sure, but all things considered, it may be so.

Fortunately our crew is resilient, the only one who was injured has already recovered.

[princelycharm]

Dog was right, we need to be careful of that woman then...

...that's good then. Are you the Captain of your ship?

[hisoldtricks]

No, I am First Mate, but since our Captain is indispose, I am responsible for the ship and crew.

[princelycharm]

Wait, is your captain the one who is suffering from the curse?

What is your name?

[hisoldtricks]

Unfortunately.

I am Loki.

[princelycharm]

....WHAT??

...THAT'S HORRIBLE!!!!

[princelycharm]

...and, oh...

its nice to meet you Loki. I am the captain of the Antoinette. My name is Tamaki!

[hisoldtricks]

[He can't help but stare at his journal a moment. Mood swing much?]

Likewise, Captain Tamaki. If I might ask, how big is your crew at present?

[princelycharm]

[Meet him in person and he'll give you a hundred moods within a minute or two.]

With the recent addition, [Haruhi and Hikaru.] There are 6 of us. Why do you ask?

[hisoldtricks]

I am simply trying to get an idea of how many people remain unaffected thus far.

1/2

[princelycharm]

That's very noble of you....

....thus far?

[princelycharm]

Do you mean to tell me that this did not happen all at the same time? That there's a possibility someone will suddenly be affected?

[hisoldtricks]

I honestly do not know with any certainty one way or the other. However I find that it better to err on the side of caution given how grave the circumstances.

[princelycharm]

Okay. I shall mention this to my crew as well. Since until I recover we'll be staying in the Inn here in Isla Empieza.
