- 001 - written, action on Isla Empieza

[oneofthelost]

[written:]

Four possibilities:
new kind of nightmare
illusion
psychotic break with extreme delusions/hallucinations
reality

All of these are extremely possible. Three of them, I can't do anything about. So, I'm going to assume all of this is actually real. If it's not, well, then I'm either dead anyway or safely strapped down to a bed and on meds.

So. My name is Alex. I'm from Rhode Island.

Read the little welcome message from "Scurvey Dog" and looked at the fountain with its poem or whatever.

I know jackshit about sailing, but I'm pretty good at archery, learning swordfighting, and I can definitely pull my own weight with physical labor. So. Yeah.


[Action:

Alex can mostly be found milling around near Backwater Brig and a few inns, checking prices.

She really is as calm as she sounds, though she's a curious creature, peeking into different places. She can be caught around most parts of the town at some point in the day. After the sun sets, good luck finding her. Though she'll be answering the journal throughout the night.]

Will you come join me? My needs are so few and it is very lonely out here in the dark.

[........That's not creepy at all. It reminds her of... that man. Vague but unsettling.]

I don't go outside after dark. Sorry.

[This place is too new to venture out the first night. The journal is actually really helpful because it provides a measured exposure to acquaint her overloaded night senses with this place.]

Are you not a creature of the night as I am? Would you not spare a moment for a woman who has not seen a friendly face in oh, so very long? A moment or so of your time is all that I ask.

[Shit. Shit, shit, shit. Not good. So not good.]

I don't know what you're talking about.

I speak of companionship. Of someone who understands. Of someone who can guide. There is nothing to be afraid of, my dear. Nothing at all.

[oneofthelost]

Maybe later.

[Like never. Never sounds like a really good idea.]

As you wish. I will be waiting...
