Voice

[After a rather interesting run-in with a certain witch, Chandra decides that perhaps it's time to actually use the stupid book. Not that she'd have waited too terribly long, because hell, the idea of a magic notebook is actually somewhat intriguing.

When she speaks into the recorder, there's an odd bubbling sound, and her voice is modulated strangely at first.]

Right, so. I guess this thing works. If it doesn't then I'm talking at a book like a moron.

First of all, I'm new here. My name's Chandra and apparently I'm stuck here like the rest of you. That's...a pretty new experience for me, to be completely honest and I'm not sure how to take it. But then, what can you do.

With that in mind, I guess the normal thing to do seems to be finding some people to sail with and find this weird gem, and I guess that's the next order of business. I'm a Task Mage by trade, meaning that I do all sorts of odd jobs and I often do them with magic. Hire me on and you'll have artillery without compare. I've never found a ship, door, wall, or bad guy I can't take care of, or a mountain I can't craterize. [She pauses, laughing cheerily.] And my favorite way to destroy something is utterly, so...if you've got problems just point me at 'em and stand clear and they won't be problems anymore.

Also, I've been on a ship a few times, enough to know my way around but not enough to get into any real trouble...and if it's physical stuff you need done I'm pretty good for that too. And if I can't? One of my little buddies can take care of it. And if that's not enough, I'm also young, hot, and full of stories. Some of them not fit for children.

[She lets out a little cackle, and the modulation in her voice stops, her tone getting a little bit more serious too.]

Also, that witch that was talking about sending people home? That's a bust. Ignore her. She's just trying to steal energy or something. I destroyed the construct she's using, but I figure it'll be back later on tonight or tomorrow. Also, do yourself a favor and steer clear of the plaza for an hour or two.

Oh, and if you don't like talking over these journal things? I'll be at the bar.

Action:

[And as promised, she can be found at said bar, and never without a drink in hand.]

[...Marvelous perks up.

If you didn't have his interest before?

Now you've got a captive audience.]

Go on.

What makes you say that?

Just my best guess, but crystal shards set into rings seem to be the sort of thing one would do with something like that, yeah?

Maybe.

Was there something about her rings?

Definitely got a vibe from it, yeah. Won't be sure till we find her, but if I was betting? I'd say yes it's one. That power's gotta come from somewhere.

Definitely worth a thought. Like I've been saying, this has got to have a source, and if we cut that source off...

Thanks! We'll keep an eye out when we find her.

Magic's always got a source. Mana or an artifact of some sort, usually.

Oh, yeah, you got a name? I'm starting a codex.

Everything usually has a source.

But the name's Captain Marvelous, of the Charming Murderess.

Captain. Marvelous...?

Is that a nickname?

No.

Alright. Well it's a...snerk marvelous name then.

[Sigh. He should be used to that by now.]

I know.

But is there anything else you can tell me about the witch?

[She's not sorry.]

Well Cap, yeah. She has to touch you to drain energy. And she'll try and trick you into it. I got suckered, before I destroyed her construct and she got a little of mine.

So.

Shoot her.

Got it.

Yep, shoot her. I wouldn't be surprised if she was faster than she looked, too.

She has this whole vampire thing going on. Pale skin, hood over her eyes, only comes out at night.

[At first, he responds a bit darkly.] Trust me. I've dealt with fast. It's doable.

[Then, he perks back up. Sorta.] Wonderful. At least she'll stick out like a sore thumb.

Yep, definitely. The whole "black and pale" thing is kind of a dead ringer.

Who is she?

A "Pirate Witch."

Only one who knows her actual name won't tell it to us.

And who's that?

Only name I know her by is "Dog."

The one who'd know. Not the witch.

Edited 2014-01-13 00:42 (UTC)

And why not?

Dunno.

Dog picks and chooses what she's forthcoming with. Sometimes it's a lot, sometimes it's not. Just depends.

So temperamental help. Got it.

Extremely. But useful. Usually.

Fair. Got any advice about settling in here Captain?

Right now, survive.

But find the crew that's best for you.

Then get ready for a hell of a treasure hunt.
