[Asch has been stuck on this island for one night and he already hates it. It's not even a particularly nasty island, but this town is full of people who don't want anything to do with him-- and he doesn't want anything to do with them, either. Plus, when he asked about people dying, he got a door slammed in his face. Rude.

Having figured out that the journal is capable of both recorded and written communication, he's taking advantage of it while he lingers in the town square.]

Is there no one on this island who knows how to operate a boat? I have enough money to buy a small ship, but hiring crewmen is impossible. These people won't even take gold for it. This is a seaside community; having no one who will steer a boat makes no sense. They're avoidant on purpose.

[He hmphs a bit.]

Finding a company of competent people is going to be harder than I thought.

Five months now, by this world's calendar. And sadly, the locals have always been this tight-lipped.

If they're that intimidated by a bunch of half-drunk naval officers, they're worthless anyway.

Does this jewel even exist?

[voice]

[jadethenecromancer]

Shards of it have been found. Whether it works as advertised is another matter entirely.

We're expected to risk our lives for this? What a joke.

[jadethenecromancer]

I suppose you could just sit safely on the island instead... But that won't bring us any closer to finding a way home, now does it?

[sacredashes]

[Haha, that gets a rise out of him.]

I didn't say I wasn't going to do it. But I'm not going to get involved with you people, either.

[jadethenecromancer]

[Getting a rise out of everyone is what he does.]

Pity. My crew would love your radiant personality, I'm sure.

[voice]

[sacredashes]

[HAHAHA]

I'm sure yours gives them plenty to work with.
