♜ one [ writing ]

I have a question for everyone here.

We're supposed to go sailing, but how does someone willingly go on a ship with so many different people, when doing so could put the people in your crew at risk? How do you live so closely with that many other people when just being near them could be dangerous for them?

[ The penmanship looks really old-fashioned, but still perfectly legible. It's clear this person hasn't seen anything written in a long time, but thankfully, writing is like riding a bicycle. It's not something anyone forgets how to do. There's SOME voices in the background, but it's distant and muffled. Whoever is writing this went to great lengths to avoid others. ]

We're all so inexperienced that we're probably more in danger alone than together.

What makes you dangerous? If I can know.

In any other case, that might be true.

[ He's not sure how much he should say here; he's already gathered there are multiple people here from entirely different worlds, most of which have never even heard of him. But still, better safe than sorry, and give only the bare minimum of details. ]

My magic is incredibly dangerous.

Can you control it, at least?

[Mami brushes a finger against the paper. She'd recognize this handwriting anywhere. But she's a polite girl, she'd never jump into a conversation like this. She'll wait for them to meet in person. Strangely enough... she feels just a tiny little bit less lonely now.]

Danger lurks on every pirate ship, whether from within or not. It's to be expected.

Not in this form, I would expect.

This form?

You find yourself a crew with proper strengths to resist such misfortune, of course. Though, judging by your concerns, they might not have your same moral standing.

However, if you're not averse to charmingly bloodthirsty ladies, general deviancy, and corpses, then we may have a place for you♥.

[ ... not quite what he had in mind. There are ways to resist Death Magic in his universe, of course, but he didn't appreciate that implication. It was a little too similar to Hades for his comfort. ]

I don't have any use for anything like that. [ But... ] What did you mean by 'proper strengths?'

Suit yourself~.

Immortality, for example. High magic. Things of the like.

Choose companions that are not so easily killed.

That's easier said than done.

Yet not impossible. You should have sailed with me, boy. Whatever curse you bear is of no concern to me.

You'll find a way! If you let everyone know the problem, you can all work together to find a solution! It's lonely by yourself.

The only solution I know of is one that, for right now, isn't acceptable for me. I've studied this magic all my life. If there were another solution, I'd know about it.

But now there are all sorts of people from all sorts of places here! One of them might have a solution you never even knew existed! No use in being gloomy about it!

Make sure the crew you eventually join knows what to expect.

If that's not an option, you'd be surprised by the sort of people you can find who might be immune to what you take for granted. How much can you say about it? What makes close proximity dangerous for you?

All I can say right now is that it's a form of magic that, if it grows beyond my control, only gives me about a minute's notice before it explodes out of my body in all directions.

[ That said... what would it do to the treated wood used in building ships? The wood is kind of already dead, having been cut down and exposed to salt water for as long as it has. Seems really risky, though. The wood could still rot if it has prolonged exposure. ]

What makes it grow beyond your control? Is it random chance, or is there a specific trigger?

Anyone who takes to sea knows that danger lurks everywhere. It's an inevitability when you face the unknown.

How do you know that the people will not be able to stand any danger that you bring? How is it dangerous to be close to you?

Just being near me could be deadly.

Then you may need to have a proper healer on hand. It cannot be so serious that none will sail with you.

You have to do whatever you can to ensure people around you will be protected. And if you can't do it alone, ask for other people to help you.

...Though dealing with it alone is often the best way.

If I am going to be forced to go sailing, it's impossible to crew a ship by yourself.

[ And he'd really, really prefer not to be on a ship crewed entirely by Living Magic constructs. ]

You're certainly right about that.

But I guess what I meant was... Do you think you'll need help protecting others from yourself or can you deal alone?
