♜ one [ writing ]

[deathsought]

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. ]

Several meters in all directions.

[ Based on his mundane's best estimate, anyway. ]

There are ways to avoid it, which was why I was considering living alone in the ship's cargo bay, instead of with the rest of the crew.

Would living alone in a ship's cargo bay put enough distance between you and the crew?

If I were to be on a ship, I don't think there would be another option.

What if you were on a ship with a crew member who could teleport, or otherwise fly you far enough away in one minute?

I guess that would be the next best thing to someone who can either create a barrier, or can otherwise resist magic.

[ There are forms of magic that cancel out other forms of magic in his world. Ultear's orb was a good example of one. As for barriers... he only really knows of one person who can create a barrier strong enough to contain him, and Mavis Vermillion isn't here. That he knows of, anyway. He can't see or hear her, but her magical presence is hard to miss after spending about a century around it. ]

I see. I wouldn't recommend staying on Isla Empieza for very long. Apparently, the natives aren't happy with us. If you don't find a crew with the capabilities or the willingness to let you sail with them, let me know. I think I have the next best thing.

I know. I'll find a way off this island soon.

We'll be in touch if I can't.
