...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!]

[...did he just hear that right? Did Raph just ask him for his help? Granted, he was already planning to figure out a rescue plan, but hearing Raph actually ask him for help was shocking, but int he good way

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?

I'm fine.

[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.

[Sure Raph, you sound perfectly fine. But Leo didn't comment on it, just walking to sit at the table. He hadn't really ever talked to Gan Ning, but it didn't matter. No turtle, or man, got left behind.]

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.

I know that.

[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.

[He sighed at the glowering as he opened up his journal.]

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.

I did, but apparently people here are useless.

[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!

[Leo peered down at the replies while he listened to Raph rant.]

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.]

[Just groans.]

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?!

We don't have a choice Raph. If we just attack random prisons that ends up not having Gan Ning in it, not only will it get us into even more trouble, but we're risking someone else getting captured or seriously hurt, not to mention we'd be wasting resources. Resources that we can't afford to waste. Plus what if the Navy got wise to what we were doing? They might kill him then and there.

[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.

Edited 2014-03-30 04:58 (UTC)

I wouldn't be surprised if the Navy was expecting something like that anyway.

[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.

[Looks up when Gaius comes in and listens to what he says. Ugh, as much as he doesn't want it to be true, he and Leo have got a point. They need a plan.

...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?

[Unfortunately Leo isn't a mind reader so he glares at Raph when he makes that comment, but he doesn't push it as he ponders over the situation.]

I don't know, he's most likely somewhere with Toothless.

[Flashing a quick grin at Raphael, Gaius gives a nod along with Leonardo's guess.]

Last I saw, I think he was trying to fix that tailpiece. Got a little banged up in that Navy battle.

Well, he should be in here.

[Marches over to the galley door, leaning halfway out and shouting at the top of his lungs.]

HEY! HICCUP!!

[There's a CLANG and clattering of metal.]

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?

[Not being too phased by the clanging and thunking, Leo stands up and puts on his 'leader face'.]

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.

Heya Twigs.

[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.

[Steps back from the doorway, giving Hiccup room to come in if he wants.]

Think you're up for it? Shouldn't be too dangerous, we just gotta find where they might've taken him.

[Gaius gets a slight look, but he does reply.]

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.

[A nod.]

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.

[Gaius nods his agreement to that.]

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.

Usually when one gets captured they end up in a prison of some sort.

[That just seemed obvious to her.]

...Wow. Thanks.

[SUCH USEFUL INFORMATION THAT EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS.]

[You did ask.]

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

I knew the obvious, I was hoping for an actual location.

Oh, sorry. I wouldn't know of any around, but when you think about what they would need for a prison then hopefully that would make things a tiny bit easier.

...How would that make it easier. I mean, assume they're holed up on some island somewhere. I just wanted to know if there were any KNOWN prisons in this place. But geez, never mind, people obviously have no idea.

Okay, I wouldn't know that. Only been here a month. But looking around wouldn't hurt anyone.

A jail sounds pretty likely, or any other place where they could keep them away from others, and from escaping.

Maybe a remote island?

[alksjfhs.

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.

Probably on a navy ship, or anywhere else they control. But I don't really know more than that, sorry.

Okay. Right. I think we're just going to send someone ahead to scout out the area. Maybe they'll find something.

Wasn't this all supposed to be hypothetical?

...Yeeees. Yes! Yep. All hypothetical. So then...I will hypothetically send someone out to scout.

You're not fooling me, you know.

And here I thought I was being so clever and all.

[Heavy on the sarcasm as he huffs.]

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

When she wasn't insulting people Dog did mention some sort of prison a few weeks ago.

Yeah?? She say where it is or anything?

She said she didn't know and that the place was closed down before because it was cursed.

...Oh.

[Greeeaaat.]

Cursed how?
