-It's a full moon out. And you hear a definite, distinct howling.

And normally this would be a frightening, hair raising horror. Because werewolves are scary, right? But something about this just sounds... lonesome.

For those on the ship, there's something cool about watching her take up a perch, howling at the moon's elegant light. Some might even say she looks gorgeous in that light, in spite of how she tries to hide how furry she gets during the full moon...

Though eventually, she realizes that she had meant to put something else in the journal, before her instincts took over. At least none of them could see her, but... Hopefully no one would ask what that was.-

Um... Can we just pretend none of you all saw that? That would probably best... Sorry to wake any of you up! It's one thing to do this on a ship, but for everyone out there in the ether to hear it too... How embarrassing.

[ Mermaids and wizards and werewolves, OH MY!!!

He's getting kind of reserved to this, however, he doesn't want her to feel bad about scaring the moses out of him AND waking him up. These journals are weird. ]

It's fine, I didn't want to sleep tonight anyway!

[soundandfurry]

Eh? Why wouldn't you be able to fall asleep?

[notsokillerwhale]

Don't worry about it!

[ It's just a little hard to sleep with the howling AND the knowledge that there's a werewolf about! ]

[soundandfurry]

It's a little late for that... It's because of me, isn't it?

[notsokillerwhale]

Haha, it doesn't seem like it was your fault.

Is that a normal thing for you?

[voice]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Are you doing all right up there?

[soundandfurry]

Y-yeah, just... couldn't sleep, y'know?

[oceanicbutterfly]

That's understandable. Worried?

[soundandfurry]

Well... you heard that dog right? That it's gonna be my fault...

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...yep. She heard.]

Whatever he does is his decision. You made a mistake, but you didn't force him to react a certain way.

[headsflying]

[she silently emerges up on the deck, looking unimpressed as always.]

You woke me up.

[soundandfurry]

Sorry, Seki-chan... -Kagerou hopped off of her perch, curling to sit down and stare at the moon.-

Instincts took over...

[headsflying]

[luckily (or maybe unluckily) Sekibanki doesn't know about Kagerou's challenge to Scurvey Dog, because she still refuses to use her journal.]

I would hope that won't cause any problems while we're at sea.

[soundandfurry]

Um...

It kind of already did.

[headsflying]

... What did you do?

[just_a_minute]

Oi! Keep it down would ya!? Some of us are trying to sleep.

[.. .But since he was up albeit a bit groggy.]

Saw what? Just what's going on over there? You're not the one that was making those sounds were you....? [Great, just what he needed. Another animal freak like Shido... He listened close for any additional sounds like the scraping of claws on the wooden floorboards, or the telltale panting of an overactive canine.]

[soundandfurry]

-He'd hear the scraping, but no pants.- W-well... what if I was?

[just_a_minute]

[There weren't any other sounds he could pick up on that would suggest that there was someone or something else beside her....] Then keep your yap shut! [What do you mean, "what if it was?". Sheesh.] Or at least keep your journal closed while you're doing it. [He could care less if howling in the middle of the night was her thing]

What, were you trying to call the rest of the pack? I doubt they'd have much use for journals anyway.... [Right now, the girl just seemed like some odd eccentric]

[soundandfurry]

There's no need to be rude! -A huff.- It's just instinct, okay? I already said I'm sorry!

[just_a_minute]

[There's every reason to be rude! Except not really] Instinct? [His voice was losing it's edge as a touch of curiosity was seeping into his words. It also helped that he was becoming more aware of his surroundings and that he was indeed awake and talking to some stranger via that fruity pirate journal] Alright- all joking aside, are you some kind of beastmaster or what?

[Action] SORRY I'M LATE

[gambliar]

[Truth be told, Celes was probably one of the few people on board The Antoinette that was asleep. It wasn't that it was her turn to be awake and make sure the ship was safe and sound, that had been a while back. Rather, it was that she simply couldn't sleep. So she was up and about around the ship, hoping that a nice walk would make her tired enough to welcome the embrace of sleep when all of a sudden...

That howl...

Oh boy, this wasn't going to end well. They had set up shifts for a reason. If the crew mates who were supposed to get their sleep didn't, that meant they'd be tired on their shift. Which of course meant Bad Things™ later on. She'd better nip this in the bud now, lest it come back to bite her on the ass later.]

Would you mind toning down the volume a bit?

[If Kagerou looked down she'd easily find Celes leaning against one of the masts. Instead of her usual attire or captain outfit, she was wearing a nightgown that looked more like a dress than anything else.]

[soundandfurry]

... S-sorry, Captain. Instinct took over.

Again.

[gambliar]

Was instinct the only reason?

[soundandfurry]

... I guess you could say it was loneliness, too.

[gambliar]

I thought so.

[It was horribly obvious, after all.]

Admittedly, despite my best attempts, I haven't been able to get any sleep at all tonight. As such...I suppose I could grace you with my company.
