searching for coral is boring
what do i know about diving and finding things underwater?
it takes forever
my mood is as black as this coral.
i wanted to do things this month
i was gonna recruit some new crew members
set sail
maybe search for treasure
now i can't.
on top of that my only crewmate disappeared
he's usually never gone for more than a few days
but it's been like
weeks now
what kind of captain has no crew?
i guess i'm gonna have to do the jack sparrow thing
i am a captain
it doesn't matter if i have no ship and no crew
i do have a ship though
it's a small one but at least it isn't sinking
i know how to sail it but i don't know how to navigate
who can read these maps anyway?
is anyone willing to take on an extra person to the fortress?
i have two pieces of black coral.

...Well, I'd be kind of an ass not to help you out after you kept an eye on the Witch for me. Do you mind hitching a ride on the Sinewave?

[voice]

[hollywood_bro]

Not at all. It'd be nice to hang out with my bro again. Haven't heard from Dirk in awhile. I guess the witch kept us all busy. No one from your crew got possessed, did they?

[voice]

[maskedtyrant]

Just the one! He's gone now, though, like the others. It's quiet here.

[And by that, she means, "they're all dead and I have no one to talk to."]

[voice]

[hollywood_bro]

Guess I lucked out. It was just the two of us to begin with and now it's just me. Seems like most of the larger crews had someone possessed though.

[He won't even ask how that went. Some things are better left unsaid.]

[voice]

[maskedtyrant]

Yeah...

[There's a fairly long pause before she comes back.]

...How soon can you get here?

[voice]

[hollywood_bro]

I'm not sure. Where are you? I'm still on Empieza.

[voice]

[maskedtyrant]

Same place as before. It's a bit of a swim from Empieza, but you can just take the Nav, right?

[voice]

[hollywood_bro]

Yeah. I haven't used it in a few weeks. I guess it doesn't matter if you've used yours since I won't come back for awhile. It'll probably take about a week to storm the fortress anyway.

[voice]

[maskedtyrant]

That sounds good. I mean, if it makes you nervous, you could always use the Nav in the Brig. That one doesn't seem to have the same kind of cool-down that the others do.

We all had plans.

[It's written so the bitterness can't be heard, but it's felt. With every word, he feels it.

Recruitment, revenue. There were so many plans, ways to make this life more bearable. And all of them are on hold.]

believe it or not i was happy to be brought here
sure the lack of technology sucks
but the pirate theme is kinda cool and i don't even mind the period clothing
i can totally pull it off.
can't get away from sea witches though
it doesn't matter if they're alien sea witches in skin tight bodysuits
or creepy human witches in dark capes and hoods
it's like whoever is in charge of fate sat down one day and said
this dude is destined to have his shit wrecked by salty sea bitches.

[ooc: Sorry for his rambling! I'm sure the last thing Kyouya needs is another whiny blond to put up with.]

[hostclubshadowking]

Before this place, I was lucky enough to never have to deal with real magic. This is not an improvement, especially not with the lack of technology.

[Writing, at least, allows him control. He doesn't have to hide his tone. He doesn't have to conceal his expressions. It's all very filtered with minimal effort for him.

Thankfully.]

(ooc: Kyouya hates everything right now, so... IT'S ALL COOL.)

can't say the same since i used to have all kinds of crazy time powers
magic is weird but you get used to it
i'm already used to writing in this journal and i don't even like it
wish i could use my iphone.

[written]

[hostclubshadowking]

I'd kill for my phone. Especially if it worked and let me call my staff. Like my security. I'd love having them here.

[written]

[hollywood_bro]

the last thing i'd want to do is talk to anyone i work with
they can all fuck off especially my publicist
i guess i'd talk to donald glover though
he was awesome.

[hostclubshadowking]

I have a private security force of three, a family-shared security force of a hundred. I would very much like to be able to contact them.

[written]

[hollywood_bro]

i can see how the security force would be helpful
i only have a few bodyguards but they're pretty useless
nowhere near my skill level
i just keep them around so i don't have to draw my sword in public.

hung a net on a rowboat and pushed it out
collected a shitload of black coral on it that way
though i had to cheat to actually find it
but whatever
frog god wouldnt give me time powers if he didnt want me to blatantly abuse them

[written]

[hollywood_bro]

shit i knew i was fucking this up
i went swimming like a pearl diver
only i wasn't looking for pearls i was looking for this black shit
picked each piece out personally by hand
it's fucking priceless
do you know how much it would go for on ebay?
this coral touched the hand of dave strider
i'd say it's worth at least a couple gs.
how is your crew holding up?

[written]

[dersite_dj]

well the cheating part involves going back in time to when the coral dislodged
i mean it only floats up
so its easier to find that way
but fuck touchin it by hand
even if it means blessing an unholy abomination with the purity of my glorious clammy palm

[written]

[hollywood_bro]

yeah i can't do the cheating part
don't have the right codes.
so i guess it has to be everything the hard way
got no choice but to personally bless this slimy sea waste with my magnanimous touch
it's like i'm a fucking bishop over here
i'm not wearing the robes or the big pointy hat though
because seriously fuck that shit.

[written]

[dersite_dj]

at your own risk dude
gotta admit it doesnt smell bad when theres a little bit of it
but the shit stinks like rotten eggs if it sits in the sun and theres a lot of it

[written]

[hollywood_bro]

yeah i'm not letting the sun touch it
got it in a bag in the cabin
shit's safe there.

[written]

[dersite_dj]

shame you cant recruit out here while youre at it dude
seems like everybodys probably gonna be in on stormin this musty old witch castle
fuckin prime targets left and right but theyre all taken]
worlds worst double date upcomin

[written]

[hollywood_bro]

don't think anyone would want to join me when I smell like saltwater.
the fortress isn't prime recruiting grounds either
but speaking of double dates I sorta signed us up for one
there was this guy named kaoru and he said he had a twin
so i was like
the four of us should hang out sometime
we doubles got to stick together
it'd be considerably less shitty than the musty witch castle.
