piratejournal | [Voice] An open query from a curious magician.

These journals are cute, and convenient! But ah, I'll skip the boring part. An excellent ship is only part of the fun. A good crew is a vital piece of the puzzle. But we're sort of missing what the heck we're putting together in the first place, don't you think~?

[ The voice is a young adult woman's; somewhere around teenage to twenties, from the sound of it. Her tone is lilting, amused, and very, very CURIOUS. She's definitely found the right sort with Grell, but facts remain... there's other things she wants. Needs. Is curious of. ]

But what matters most... the right ingredients! A drop of luck, a dash of skill, and just a pinch of magic.

[ As if to prove that point, anyone listening to this will find a small flower drawing appearing on the page, but then it slowly materializes into a real, honest-to-goodness flower of whatever color you can imagine! Is it special beyond that? Not in the slightest. Is there a point? NOPE. Just for fun. ]

The question is, who among you believes in the most vital part...? And what sort of magic... might we be seeking? This treasure must surely be some powerful magical artifact, after all... huhuhu. Indulge me, won't you? Tell me your thoughts, my audience.

... Oh, and I'm looking for someone who may or may not have been brought here... brown hair. Nurse's outfit. Regular human. Goes by the name Juri. If you see her... tell me.

[...did everyone have their powers besides her and the boy? Still, Izanami let out a faint noise, plucking her flower from her book.]

Impressive, child.

As to your question, we can only speculate, given the location.

The artifact we're to be getting... it's a curiosity to me because, well, if it can grant wishes...

[ Doesn't everyone have one? She... has plans. ]

... Ah, that voice seems familiar... I think we're going to be shipmates. Consider this a formal introduction, then. ... I appreciate the compliment, though.

[...shipmates, hm? Granted, she had been a bit preoccupied with her duties (and trying to keep the boy from running off), so she had yet to meet all of the rest of the crew. She started up, walking to find this person as she talked.]

Pirates were very materialistic humans, truly embodying the greed of humanity. I would imagine our prize is something physical, and certainly something that would glitter like gold.

[ If Izanami goes looking, she will find her actually sitting atop her broomstick, hovering there as she goes through that journal, out on the deck. Oh, she can't go far, but she was always more comfortable supporting herself with her magic, anyway. ]

If it's physical and just pretty to look at on its own, then it would hardly have the promise of potentially "returning" us to where we were, though. It has to be some sort of artifact of power. If it is, it's worth collecting. If it's just some petty necklace, there's no point. I mean, I enjoy a nice necklace as much as the next girl, but...

Do not underestimate the shallowness of human comprehension. Though my understanding of them may not be acceptable to go by, my observations have shown an item need only to offer a 'bad feeling' for some creatures to label it as mystical. [A pause, followed by a faint, humorless chuckle.] Or they may only believe it to be mystical.

[Once she located the girl, she snapped her journal closed, standing behind her and waiting to be acknowledged.]

There may well not be a way to escape this place; at least, not by the means we are expecting by pursuing this wild chase.
