[text] - WELCOME MESSAGE

[Sometime at midnight, at the dawn of January 10th, new arrivals to Empieza (should they open their journals to the most recent page) will be greeted by friendly red letters that take up nearly half a page: ]

HELLO NEW ARRIVALS

[The rest is...honestly a lot less than Codi would have liked to write concerning this place, but there's only so much she can do with the more concerning new posts happening around them. If anyone has any questions, they can always ask.]

[In the meanwhile, she tries to be brief.]


You may be wondering where you are, or what you're doing here! The short of it is that you've been kidnapped by a pirate named Davy Jones, and the only way we know of to get out of here is to search for shards of a red gem known as the Piedra Roja, which are scattered around. Supposedly, if we put them together, we get a wish of some kind--and I don't know about you, but I think we would all like to leave.

Your first order of business should be to check your pockets. If you have any, you should find a good amount of local currency there; use it to buy a room at one of the local inns on Empieza, which is the island where you are, some food and clothes if you need them. At night, it would be a good idea to look for signs to the Blackwater Brig--the shopkeep, Miss Margie, is extremely helpful and has a lot of useful items up for purchase.

If you haven't run into them already, Captain Dave Strider and Leon will be around the island looking for new arrivals such as yourself. They are there to help you and make sure you stay safe. In roughly three days, you will see an entry from someone called Scurvey Dog. DO NOT ask her questions--she will not be helpful, especially if you ask her things that we can answer instead.

From there, I would normally suggest searching for a crew by writing in (or speaking at) this journal, but for the time being, DO NOT REPLY TO ANY SUSPICIOUS JOURNAL POSTS. There's something weird going on with a few people and we're still trying to sort that out. If you have questions, this is a safe place to ask them. Your safest course of action right now is to stay on Empieza until we find out what's going on.

Wind in your sails,

Dakota Perkins and the Welcome Committee


[And as this is technically signed by the group--by Codi's hand, of course--she expects them to jump on any questions that are missed by her watchful eye. It is a group effort, after all!]

[He couldn’t really argue with that. Although he had some opponents that wouldn’t blink an eye about resorting to violence or endangering his life they’d never succeeded in murdering him.]

[He committed the name of the ship to his memory.] It doesn’t sound like our goals would clash in the slightest. [He was interested in treasure himself] You claim the Sinewave is one of the safer ones... do you think there are any ships that should be avoided?

The Bloody Roses, eh? [This has been a profitable day. He's learned quite a bit about the circumstances and the ships in the area. There are still a good many ships to go] What is it about their captain that you find the most troubling?
