[First off, he hasn't been crying, okay? It just so happened that at the same time Brady realized he wasn't with the army, and instead in some strange foreign land with no obvious way of getting back, all of this dust just got into both eyes. Okay? OKAY? But the idea of a journal that could spread across lands by talking or writing... Not too strange. He's known some odd sages and sorcerer's in his life, it can't be impossible.

So now what comes across the pages is the most elegant, beautiful penmanship you've ever seen. The kind to make novelists weep. Although the actual words themselves... don't exactly match the gorgeous pen-strokes.]

This is bull-plop! Grade A 100% bull-plop! I've got better things to do than be stuck on some weird island with a bunch of strangers! Someone better reverse that spell and send me back pronto, I don't have time to waste! People's lives are in danger!

Look, if anyone from the army is here, this is Brady. Get back to me as soon as you can. I know for sure we didn't just time travel again. Didn't Laurent say some crap about variables and consistencies and all that? I'll be waiting for you guys near that fountain.

[And, as an afterthought-]

If you guys see my violin, try not to scratch it, okay?

I'm afraid that isn't possible, my friend; the only one who can send you back is the spectre known as Davy Jones, and he has shown himself uninterested in such threats or pleas. I am sorry.

[And this penmanship is just as fine and elegant, though Mitsuhide's words do fit his writing very well indeed.]

Like as not, you are stuck here until he chooses to send you back through his own will.

But that doesn't make any sense! Why would he grab me if he didn't want me for some stupid reason? I can't even do anything except heal people! And I've got a feeling he couldn't give a rat's behind about people being injured.

He needs us to collect an enchanted jewel, something we already know has genuine power. The problem is that this jewel is split into many shards.

Why someone with such power cannot do this task himself, we do not know. But a healer is a treasure if he or she can keep someone whole and intact; it means they are better able to search, after all.

So he grabbed a bunch of folk for a treasure hunt? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[But he does appreciate the kind words... he just has trouble expressing them back.]

Guess I don't have much of a choice. Don't suppose there's any chance this is all a bad dream after eating too much bear meat?

I fear not. But do not worry; we are all together in this. Already we know much more than we did when I was brought here, six months ago, and our knowledge of these seas expands day by day.

You, as a healer, will be much appreciated on whatever ship you choose to join.

*This handwriting isn't anywhere near as pretty. It's neat enough, but the letters are round and girly*

You have a violin? I play the violin! I bought my guitar here, so I'm sure you could get a new one if you can't find your own.

*Yup, just casually ignoring all that other stuff for now*

But if Ma found out I lost mine, I'd never hear the end of it!

Unless she ends up here too...I don't think she's ever gonna find out about that.

I guess so. Still I

~~really liked it~~

~~kind of miss it~~

it was probably expensive or something. Forget it, it's not important.

[Yes, he did write those out and then did a desperate attempt to pretend he didn't.]

I miss my guitar, too. My home one, I mean. But I bought a new one, and we're pretty good friends by now!

*Selphie noticed that, and giggled at it, but she's not going to draw too much attention to it*

But musical instruments ARE important!

[Brady's elegant text is matched by equally elegant text, although with words a bit more befitting to them.]

Brady darling? Is that truly you?

[A pause as Maribelle eyes his words again.]

No, there's no question it's you. I know of no other who can match my penmanship, yet still manage to write like a hooligan. I'll meet you by the fountain momentarily.

[Yay, he found mommy! ... Oh gods please don't ever let her find out what he's been telling people about her. uh.]

And I can tell it's you, ma, always able to ignore the important stuff in favor of the snooty stuff. Yeah, I'll be at the fountain, I won't move.

[And as soon as he thinks he can get away with it... Here come the tears. Ma's here! And she's okay!]

[In spite of herself, she can't help but laugh at that statement. Gods help her, but she couldn't help but want to improve Brady even in the thick of diving into the depths of hell.]

I'll take that as a compliment darling.

[No more text is forthcoming, but if Brady is keeping his eyes open he might spot Maribelle coming around a corner with her hands mysteriously behind her back.]

Brady dear!

[She calls out to him waving her Parasol in the air with one hand, the other still behind her back. She then reveals that in her other hand is a steaming tea pot, because there's nothing quite like a family reunion with tea.]

[MAAAAAA - oh he almost hugged her but then he saw the tea pot. Probably should not be doing that. Geez... well, it's her all right. He wipes his eyes, relieved to see her at all.

I guess I could use a cup of somethin' to wake me up... This whole experience feels like some strange dream.

I'm... I'm real glad you're okay, Ma.

[Maribelle carefully places down the pot of tea on the fountain, lays her umbrella next to it, and then practically tackles Brady with a warm and loving hug.]

I'm so glad you're okay too darling... I've missed you terribly in the time that I've been stuck here.

[Okay... Maribelle might have a few tears in her eyes, but that's just from dust!]

[Oh, that's definitely the Brady he knows. It couldn't be any other one. So have some excited scribbles.]

Oh! Brady, you're here now too? Awesome!

Oh, this is Henry, by the way!

Edited 2014-03-17 00:08 (UTC)

[OH F-WHY COULDN'T IT BE ONE OF THE SANE MEMBERS.]

How is this in any way awesome? At least tell me you're safe and sound.

Why isn't it awesome? I like getting more people from home here, since I missed you guys! Plus, this place is pretty fun.

[Sorry, Brady, there's not even a little sanity here. You'll have to deal with creepiness instead.]

Yeah, I'm fine! Well... There was that incident with the door and then when I got stabbed... But I'm good now, so whatever!

[The ink squishes for a moment, as he makes several attempts at a coherent sentence before-]

You were stabbed?! By the gods, at least tell me you got healed up since then!

I was only a little stabbed! And I kind of let it happen on purpose anyway, so it wasn't that bad.

But yeah, I'm healed now! It took a little longer than usual 'cause we didn't have a healer, but I managed just fine!

[...It's a miracle he hasn't gotten himself killed yet, actually.]

[What is with these new people and writing all these words and don't they know that she really doesn't know how to read and and.... sigh.]

Your violin? [She can pick out words here and there.]

[He's reluctant to reply at first, as he knows his speech is... not exactly elegant. Still, he gives it a try.]

Yeah. Guess that Jones guy stole it, along with the rest of my stuff, when he dropped me off in this wasteland.

[Does this girl look like she will care about having elegant speech thrown at her? Does she?!]

I am sorry to hear that, my lord. If I may be of some help, you can go to a place called the Blackwater Brig and see if you can get your items from the shopkeeper there.

[... my... l-lord?! What the - GIRLS HERE ARE WEIRD, IT'S OFFICIAL. He flusters.]

Yeah, w-well, I'll check it out later. Right now I'm looking for more important things, like my family and the rest of the folks from the army.

[Hey! She is not weird! She is a lady!]

Your family? ..... My lord.... Hopefully you will find them but please.... Do not set your hopes up too high.
