[With all the commotion of Konoha-nin showing up and then disgusting mind-controlling candy showing up directly after them, Sasuke has nearly forgotten about the other encounter he had on Empieza the day he met his former teammates -- but there's finally been a lull, and he's perched as high in the rigging as he can go without the journal blowing out of his hands when he remembers.]

Has anyone seen this?



[Believe it or not, he has actually put effort into this drawing, but a dragon is not a battle diagram.]

It was looking for a skinny kid with brown hair.

That's pretty inconvenient for all of us.

[Voice]

[thethundersaid]

Inconvenient is putting it lightly.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

You know what I mean. This is going to take a lot of work if we actually follow the directions for this "ruby."

[Voice]

[thethundersaid]

Yes. But it's all we have to go on until we find enough information to track down this Davy Jones and threaten him in person.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

That sounds fun.

[Which it doesn't, but what choice do they have?]

How far have you gotten with all of this?

[Voice]

[thethundersaid]

It'll be enjoyable, at least.

It's been ... [His voice grows reluctant here, because admitting it is still a sore point:] Slow going. There aren't many civilians who aren't scared of us, and the lands are spread out.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Sailing isn't usually very quick. I know how that goes.

[He understands it can be frustrating. Even with such little information, it runs similar to what he's use to dealing with.]

[Voice]

[thethundersaid]

That, and people don't know anything. [There's deep frustration in his voice here.] The world itself screws with us and makes it impossible to focus.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

I have a lot to look forward to. Hey, things will come along, right?

[Voice]

[thethundersaid]

We'll have to force them to go along if we want any progress made. I suggest you find your dragon as soon as possible and be ready to fight.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Right. I'll work on that.

Um. Thanks again, though.

[Voice]

[thethundersaid]

Don't thank me. It's in my interest that newcomers don't bumble around like idiots.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Well, when you put it that way.

[Voice]

[thethundersaid]

Yes. So don't screw things up for the rest of us.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Okay, got it.
