[the flip of a page brings sound first, a grunt and a slight ting of bells]

...there, 'course. Now where's the damn writing thing...?

[it cuts off and the rest comes in jagged handwriting, as the journal translates his Chinese script]

word of advice. don't get captured. sure, you'd say it's better than dying, but I'd beg to differ. it ain't fun. it's not an easy way out. puts your crew at risk, more than if you die. and I don't know about half of you, but I ain't lettin' some Navy ass gloat about stretching my neck on the gallows. Hell no. Never give 'em the satisfaction.

I ain't gonna ask for a recap of the last week, I can figure it out for myself. But I saw mention of a couple names of Oda's guys who I might wanna talk to. didn't know they'd be here...

[for anyone on the Booyakasha, he's sitting out on the forecastle, writing and contemplating the open ocean. He's got a lot to think about. He's grateful for the rescue, though.]

if he's the only one of Oda's guys here.

figured, anything to pay Sakon back for saving my ass. even if it's just making nice.

You associate Shima Sakon with Oda Nobunaga and not Takeda Shingen or Ishida Mitsunari?

...

What tumultuous waters threatened to swallow you whole?

[youhearthebells]

oh yeah he was hanging around some guy named Takeda, too, but hell if I met everybody in the army. [just wait until he remembers where he's heard of Ishida...]

some of us from Wu were under attack from the Orochi army, they sent reinforcements to get us out of there.

Orochi, the eight-headed serpent of myth. Samurai and ancient Chinese kingdoms brought together to oppose him. Had I heard your claims under different circumstances they would have defied all belief.

Your tale is one I would like to hear in person.

My name is Chōsokabe Motochika, captain of the Koumyou. Mitsuhide is my first mate. There are a handful of other samurai of our era here, all but one from another world.

[youhearthebells]

another world on top of that? this place just gets weirder and weirder by the day.

wait, Chosokabe...I've heard that name. yeah, I think Sun Ce was workin' with you. eh, no matter. if you wanna hear it in person, I guess we'd have to meet up somewhere.

Curious.

My ship is at Isla Empieza, where we shall linger until mid-month. Let me know if you find yourself on the island.

written;

[youhearthebells]

oh, that's lucky. we're headed there, should be there in a couple days.

if there's good places for wine and song, let's meet up at one.

[behisstrength]

Fortunately there is no shortage of taverns on Empieza.

[He draws a rough map to mark out one in particular.]

This one shall do nicely.

written;

[youhearthebells]

all right! when we land, I'll head there.


[ooc: want me to put a thread in an IE log for this? or handwave?]

written;

[behisstrength]

I look forward to it.
