[He sounds tired. Frustrated. Really kind of pissed off. His voice sounds a bit more clipped than usual, and while no less blunt, a lot more dry.]

Alright, so.

This week.

It's kind of been a shitty week.

I only had one crew member lose it, and it was probably one of the worst ones to do so.

[He pauses a bit, and notes to himself - that actually might have been the case with a LOT of the members of his crew. He didn't want to see what a crazed, homicidal Tojiko or older Link would do. Or Sasuke. Or... ugh, time to stop that train of thought right there.]

We've... [Hn.] Well, our ship's in one piece. We're nearing Empieza. We're stocking up.

Then we're moving out.

I know I've been talking to at least one of you guys about coordinating things. At first, I was thinking we'd have to track this Witch down, but... hey. Got something else to hunt, now.

The most we need to do is not be tripping over each other. Cover different parts of the ocean. And do it as fast as possible. And after that comes the real deal, dealing with the Witch.

If you're a Captain, or if you're in charge of your ship now 'cause your Captain's lost their mind... I wanna talk to you. Won't change whatever we're gonna do even if no one's in with us, but... Hey. It's there.

Meanwhile, if you need a ship to hold up on while all this is going down, or are new and need someplace the go... the Murderess has a bit of room. We'll take the help where we can get it.

You want your people back with their heads on, I'd do anything I could to get that man or two going.

We don't know how much of this coral we're gonna need.

I suppose I know who I'll set to it. It's just a matter of convincing them it's for their own good. Not the most glamorous of work.

[gokai_red]

Well, if they'd rather this witch keep screwing with us...

[seadevil]

Yes, well, when you go about calling yourself "Ragna the Bloodedge"...

[He'll be able to hear the grousing and complaining all the way from the shipyard.]

[gokai_red]

Cheery name!

[No, he's completely serious.]

Either way, we gotta do what we gotta do. Gonna be less a pain in our ass if all of us hit this.

[seadevil]

I agree. I'd like to send our first mate with him to make sure the job gets done, but the two of them don't get on so well.

[gokai_red]

[He grunts.] Now isn't the time for that to matter.

But good luck with 'em, regardless.

[seadevil]

[He's neglected to mention that the first mate is a parrot. There's not much reasoning one can do with a creature with a brain the size of a walnut.]

My thanks. Luck to you as well.
