How would ye rate yer experience sailin' fer Davy Jones?

If ye could be any kind 'o bug, what would ye be and why?

What do you think be the air speed velocity of a coconut laden whooping crane?

What do ye really plan to do with the shards in th' end?

Be ye male or female? Single, engaged, other?

Species?

Have ye any suggestions how th' Dog can help ye pester her any more with insipid questions?

Thank'ee and have a nice day.

I'm not sailing for Davy Jones. Will he immediately let us use the shards when we complete the gem?

[surveydog]

Yer not sailin' fer Davey Jones? Why or why not? Please rate yer satisfaction on a scale of 1-10.

[Is this... for real? Well, no, whatever, may as well.]

I am... a little disappointed with our adventures thus far. With everything that's happened, I am exceptionally surprised we haven't already died, although we have fought hard to protect ourselves. I want something a little bit more... I don't know. Calm, I guess. Aside from that, I can't complain too much.

I would be a butterfly. I wouldn't be harmful, and I get to spread my wings and fly. And they're pretty wings, too.

Um... I think this one is supposed to reference something from my world... is "it depends on the species of whooping crane in question?"

Honestly, I do really want to go home. This place isn't that bad, especially with all my friends here with me, but... there are other people I miss. Although... I wouldn't mind staying here that much if there were somewhere we could settle down and not feel like our lives are in danger all the time.

I am female. I am... in a complicated relationship, though not engaged or anything. And I'm very much human.

I don't think I have any suggestions for the Dog. She is very patient with us, all things considered, and I am very thankful for the assistance she's offered us thus far. I hope she will continue to assist us, but I understand she is not at all obligated, and if something happens... that's okay, I guess. If there's one thing I've learned from this world, it's that we need to be able to make do on our own when the chips are down, and we'll figure out what to do if it comes to that.

[alwaysgrumpy]

I'll keep it short and skip the silly questions.

Fuck Davy Jones, the first thing I'll do with the shards is send everyone home, if possible. I'd also make sure Davy can never haul people in again, if the shards still have any juice afterward. Bury that bastard in a volcanic well.

Guess you'd call me a werewolf, but I don't see what that has to do with anything.

[surveydog]

I've enjoyed sailing with everyone so far. I'd think it would be nice to be a ladybug after a nice rainy day. I'm afraid I don't understand the third question, but I do plan to use the shards to go back home to my Grandmother. I'm a human female, and I haven't been promised to anyone yet. You should ask more people about their day!

No, thank you for checking up on us, Mr. Dog.

[surveydog]

[crackpotcrocker]

Let's put this why, I'm adjusting and thankfully I'm not down there with Davy Jones... If I was a bug. I'd be a SPIDER! Because they're creepy and crawl around like me. Speed = distance/time.... Which equals... YOU FORGOT THE NUMBERS!
Why I'd take this place over! Male.Oh, no. Now this is getting personal.Human. What has this to do with anything?

[surveydog]

Thank'ee fer replyin'. Yer very confusin' and largely unhelpful comments have been noted in th' log. Please accept a whoopin' spider pin, but be expectin' four ta eight weeks fer delivery ye lunatic.

[doctor_ozaki]

0 because I don't sail for Davy Jones, I barely do the sailing actually... Maybe I should sail more...

I don't know, I think the preying mantis is pretty cool.

Depends on how many coconuts the crane is carrying and how large the bird is. Though I suppose I could also test the theory on Leanne... With her permission of course.

I don't know yet, I mean I would probably wish for us all to go home, since that seems to be what everyone wants? After everything that happened, I have no idea what I want to do in the future… oh well, guess I'll worry about that when it comes.

At the moment I'm rather enjoying being a single male. But, I don't know, I wouldn't mind dating... Well it doesn't matter.

Maybe you should state you'll only one ONE question at the beginning of all your entries, that would be a start.

No problem, you have a nice day too Scurvy Dog.

[surveydog]

What? Ye don't think I don't? Ye don't think I put on nearly every other log I'm only gonna answer one question, that's one thing that ends in a hooky bit? Do people listen to it? Do they ask more'n one? Do they ask the most insipidly stupid questions and then blame me fer callin' them out on 'em?

Thank'ee fer answerin'. Yer comments have been noted in the log. Please accept a whoopin' crane pin and giant mug o' shut yer big fat gob, but be expectin' four ta eight weeks for delivery fer the first, the second ta be delivered immediately.

[Maribelle's fairly certain she's caught onto what's going on here now, and can't help but find the whole pun terribly amusing.]

On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the intelligence of the average victim dragged here by Davy Jones?

[surveydog]

How do ye think I'd rate it?

voice; i am so sorry for him.

[keyworddouble]

On a scale of 1-10, it depends on what you're scaling. If you're rating for authenticity to common pirate lore, somewhere between a seven to a nine seems appropriate. Which directly feeds into most other means of rating in terms of experience. Cleanliness is definitely in the negatives, though that seems to come with the territory of pirates. Sustenance is also somewhat lacking, though I'm finding I enjoy the vague sense of adventure that comes with having no idea what, precisely, much less when, I will eat.

Though on that note experiencing Shotaro without access to coffee has been trying at best.

If given the choice to be an incest I would surely go for a praying mantis. They do appear rather prolific amongst the insect kingdom, and I rather like the idea of having a visible means to protect myself.

That, I imagine, would depend on the size, wingspan, and weight of the bird, as well as the number of and weight of the coconuts it carried.

I figure it best to decide that if and when we come upon them.

Male, by most standards. Single, if in reference to marital status.

Human.

I wonder if it wouldn't be wise for you to accept questions only of new askers each week you ask. At least then you'd be getting a new face, if perhaps not necessarily a question you've never answered before.

[surveydog]

Thank'ee fer replyin. Yer incredibly pedantic an' supercilious answer has been noted in the log. Please accept a whoopin' crane pin and a one time use coupon fer a life to be applied immediately, be expectin' four ta eight weeks for delivery, ye twit.

[rebellions]

That's a lot of questions, Miss Dog! I'll do my best to answer them all for you!

First, not too long ago I would've said it sucked... but today, I realized how much fun it is! I love it here, so I'm gonna say 10/10!

Hmm... Maybe a Tartar? I believe those are rather cute!

I'm afraid I can't really answer that third one... I've never been good at this kind of thing, and I guess there isn't enough details to figure it out!

I was planning to go home, but this place is so amazing, I'm not sure anymore... Perhaps I could wish for world peace!

Male, and single! That's kinda sad, actually, but I won't let this bring me down!

That one... is a bit complicated, but I'm a human!

I'm sure no one wants to pester you, Miss Dog! Everyone appreciates your hard work; you're doing us a great favor!

I hope that helps! Have a nice day, Miss Dog! Thank you for everything! ♥

[surveydog]

Thank'ee fer replyin. Yer answers have been logged an' such and ye'll recieve yer whoopin' crane pin post haste s'long as ye promise ta return ta normal and never go down this route again.

[fierybluebird]

3/10, would sail again.

A ladybug, because they're manly.

How old is the whooping crane?

Donate them to a museum.

Other.

Phoenix.

If she wants to be on more often, I'm sure this ragtag rabble will pester her that much more.

You too matey.

[surveydog]

The whoopin' crane be pushing a hundred an' seven.

[streetferret]

Not sailing with him, but I he's a meanie so I don't care.

A bumble fly!

How big is the coconut?

Put them together of course.

Male. Uh, single. [Dog, no. Don't go don't that road.]

Human.

Have you ever thought about giving out a list of questions that get asked the most?

[surveydog]

[wouldn't go down that road if ye paid her]


Ye think I got time ta make a list like that? Ye think I have the inclination? Maybe it is too much ta ask fer ye lot to have more brains than a monkey in a tar pit. The coconut be about as big as yer head.

[my_lost_heart]

[This is a little strange.... but Haruka has no reason to withhold the information... and maybe if she participates she'll be able to figure out what it's all about]

1. I'm not really sure how to answer this question. I know that we're supposed to be sailing for Jones-san, however I know nothing about him really. My experience with the crew however has been rewarding.

2. I've never really thought of that before... [The writing trails off as she gives it some thought] I think I'd like to be a firefly. They way they light up the night sky is like how the stars shine in the heavens. You can see the joy on people's faces when they're watching fireflies and I've always wanted to bring other people happiness.

3. I- wouldn't know the first place to start! Wouldn't it matter how heavy the coconuts and the whooping crane were?

4. I want to send as many people home as possible. I don't like the idea of anyone being left behind when they would rather be at home with their loved ones.

[The Next question is awkward...]

5. Female. Single. We're not really allowed to date anyone back at school...

6. Human.

7. Oh no! I'm sorry if we're such a bother. I know it can't be easy answering so many questions all the time. There is just so much about this world we've yet to understand. I'm sorry.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Abysmal. A butterfly, because it seems to be my theme. I'm not familiar with the species or its carrying capacity. I'm not certain yet--I had planned to work out exactly what Davy Jones wanted with them and act based on that, but this wasn't something I expected to be able to do on my own and all the allies I'd made have disappeared. Female. Single. Human. And if you have any influence over when newcomers arrive, they're the ones who generally ask the stupidest questions in my experience.

Anything else?

[surveydog]

Ye were once a newcomer, too, so don't ye think ye be gettin' all high and mighty?

written, boldly and quickly

[thethundersaid]

1. 2/10. Not enough information! But we'll get through.

2. This is a weird question. My hometown has a place called the Forest of Death with giant bugs, so maybe one of those.

3. It would depend on whether the coconuts were young or mature, and the size of the crane.

4. Put them together and use the assembled jewel to go home so we can show the world how things should be run.

5. Male. Single!

6. Human.

7. You could ask more questions.

Thank you!
