...Well, that could've gone better.
[Clears his throat.]
Uh...so, anyone else who's tried to kick any of these Navy dudes' butts recently -- say, hypothetically, if someone were to get, I dunno...
Captured.
In this totally hypothetical situation, where would they hypothetically take the guy? Anyone got any ideas?
[There's a grumpy sigh, then some muttering, then some stomping, and then Raph's voice, fainter now, like he's not actually addressing the journal anymore, calls out:]
LEO! I need your help—
[Before the entry abruptly cuts out.
Hazmats, he'll be storming into the galley momentarily!]

[Action]
He just closed his journal and was going to get up and go look for Raph, but then he stormed into the galley. Well, that takes care of that. But instead of teasing, he looked at his younger brother with some worry as he walked over to him.]
Hey Raph, I ugh... heard what you said. You okay bro?
[Action]
[Though he doesn't sound fine, mostly he just sounds annoyed.
He tosses the journal onto the table, then follows and braces his hands against it.]
We've gotta get Gan Ning back.
[Action]
We will. But first we need to figure out exactly where he is and how to get him out. We can't just look for a prison and break into it when he may not even be there.
[Action]
[Gives Leo a glowering look.]
But if I knew where the prison was, we'd be headed there already.
[He huffs, straightening up and crossing his arms.]
It's the finding it part that's a problem. Not like we can just fire up the internet and do a search.
[Action]
I know, but maybe someone here knows where we can find it. Didn't you just ask people with the journal? If someone sees then we may get our answer. We may have to wait for it, but it's better than getting nothing.
[Action]
[He rolls his eyes, then leans over and points at Leo's open journal.]
Look -- prison. Jail. Prison again. Do they think I don't know he'd be taken to a prison?!
[Let's out an aggravated sound and throws his hands into the air.]
We need a LOCATION, people! Come on!
Re: [Action]
Okay, so they're stating the obvious. Then we just need to ask them for more specifics, or find something that can give us a list of prisons. But either way, it's goig to take time and after we get a location we'll need to make a plan and maybe do intel to find a way to get past security.
In other words, we have to be patient Raph.
[Which he knew was going to be difficult for his red-masked brother. Well not having to deal with the random busts of anger was nice while it lasted.]
[Action]
I hate plans, they always take too long! We don't have time to be patient, what if he's being tortured or something? What if they're planning to kill him?!
[Action]
[He tone had gotten more irrtable and commanding as he spome becore taking in a breath. He spoke more calmly when he opened his mouth again, but the feeling of sharpness and command was still very much present.]
If we don't come up with something, if we just barge in without any idea of what we're getting into or what we're facing, what do you think might happen. The Navy already beat us once, and if we go crazy, they could again.
[Action]
[The thief pops a chocolate coin into his mouth as he steps into the galley, wadding up the foil wrapper between his fingers.]
I think Stalwart's on the right track here. We'll need a plan, especially if it's only us and a lot of them. At least the advantage we have is that we're a small crew, so it'd be easier for us to do any sneaking into things.
[He flicks the foil ball towards the little wooden bucket in the corner that serves as a trash receptacle before folding his arms as he leans against one of the counters.]
But we do need to find out where these guys are keeping Jingles, and I'm sure they've put as much ocean between us and them as possible in the four days since that battle. We may not be getting many bites in the directions department, but we don't have to sit around waiting, either.
After all, we got us a couple of scouts who can get a bird's eye view and cover quite a bit of ground- er, ocean.
[Action]
...Also, Raph actually literally can't go charging after Gan Ning anyway since, you know, they're surrounded by open ocean and he has no idea where to go. But whatever. Details. No point making a fuss about why plans are lame when it's going to take them awhile to get where they need to be anyway.
That bit about scouts, though -- that's good. Raphs grins and points at him.]
That...is very true. And useful. Thank you for actually being useful, unlike all these other losers.
[He means the poor people in the journal. Not Leo.]
Where's Hiccup?
[Action]
I don't know, he's most likely somewhere with Toothless.
[Action]
Last I saw, I think he was trying to fix that tailpiece. Got a little banged up in that Navy battle.
[Action]
[Marches over to the galley door, leaning halfway out and shouting at the top of his lungs.]
HEY! HICCUP!!
[Action]
GAH, what!
[Another thunk, metal ringing softly as Hiccup comes into view.]
Who's yelling at me now– oh.
Raphael. Leonardo. Gaius. What do you need?
[Action]
Sorry to disturb you Hiccup, but we have a job for you to do. We may have figured out a way to help us find out where Gan Ning, but we're going to need you and Toothless to help us do it.
[Action]
[He waves from where he stands.]
Sorry, but I sorta volunteered you for scouting. I'd do it myself but we're kind of out in the middle of the ocean.
[Action]
Think you're up for it? Shouldn't be too dangerous, we just gotta find where they might've taken him.
[Action]
Volunteered, huh? Well...all right, point made. Plus I guess this will sorta make up for the last time I flew with Toothless...
[He does step inside, however, gesturing lightly.]
Danger isn't a problem. I'm just hoping I fixed the tailfin enough to ensure a smooth flight.
[Action]
Well maybe you should try a test flight first, to see if it still needs work or not. Then once your for sure that things will go smoothly, we can get started on the search.
[Action]
Yeah, I'm with Stalwart. We don't want to end up missing two more crew members on top of the one.
I'm no expert in dragon-flying, but you don't exactly fly Toothless like the wyvern riders back home, so making sure that equipment of yours works out all right is a good idea.

[SUCH USEFUL INFORMATION THAT EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS.]

Just stating the obvious, though you must be asking for a reason.

Maybe a remote island?

Okay, deep breaths. Don't yell at people you don't even know.]
...Yeah. I got that. I was looking for an actual location, I thought maybe some of these other people who've been here awhile might know where any jails or prisons are.

It's one of the guys on my crew, that's all. We gotta find him.
