First Journal Entry - Written

Isla Empieza, where is that? I must have fainted again, because I woke up in the middle of the street but nothing looks familiar. I found this journal here in my pocket, and I know I didn't have it before. Everything about this place looks old and outdated. I didn't think there were any places like this around. I don't really know where I am. Is this some district of Sapporo?

People are moving and bustling around, which is normal, but even the shopkeepers can't tell me where to get the bus back to Ezonoo. I don't know what a Scurvey Dog is, or why there's a note in this journal, but I guess if it's meant to belong to someone else, they're not around anymore. It's portable, maybe I could put my math and science formulas in here for quick study.

As always, there are no bars on my phone. Why can't my phone ever work when I need it to?

No, it's not someone else's journal, it's yours now. You're here, and that's your journal, and everyone's trying to find a way to get home.

What does 'bars' mean, about your phone?

[There's the sound of the book hitting the ground.]

Aaaaahh! I'm hearing voices!

[Oh, geeze.]

It works kind of like a two-way radio!

...But it's a book. A book!

I know. It's just.

The way things are here.

Here? As in...not in Sapporo anymore?

Wherever you're from, you're not there any more! And no one knows how to get back, except maybe this guy named Davy Jones. He wants us to collect these shards of a red stone - you probably saw that in your journal, though.

[Thoughtful.]

Someone did get the first piece of the stone just a few weeks ago.

....

[It's going to be a little bit. It's difficult to process something so unlikely.]

Hello? Hey, are you still there?

Yeah, I'm still here. Wherever that is. I don't...I don't know.

Look around you, what do you see?

There's a fountain and stuff. So it's Isla Empieza, I think.

Mm, you're right!

Oh. I suppose I should introduce myself, I'm Winry Rockbell. I'm with The Panthress.

That's a boat?

I'm Hachiken Yugo. Nice to meet you.

Yes, it's a boat! Uh. Ship.

It's nice to meet you, too, Hachiken.

A ship, huh? I need to find one?

Mm, the islanders are only friendly for a few days, Hachiken. After that, they'll run you off the island, whether you've signed on with a boat or not.

But there are a lot of nice people around who'll take you on, even if you don't know anything about sailing!

That would be good. I don't think I would want to go on my own.

It's hard to be on your own.

I just don't really know anything about it.

I've been alone a few times, but never as alone as I think I am.

...does that make any sense?

Oh I didn't mean that. I mean sailing. If I knew how to do it, it wouldn't be a big deal to be alone.

Are you alright?

Oh! Well, you'll pick it up pretty quick. Everyone does.

[There's probably something weird about that, too.]

I'm fine, thank you!

I hope so, I wouldn't want to be a burden on my crew.

I know you don't know me but if you ever have anything on your mind, you can talk to me, really.

I'm sure you won't be, Hachiken.

And thank you, that's very kind!
