Draco Malfoy,

Watch the skies today and tomorrow. If I have correctly timed it, you should be receiving a gift for your name day birthday.

-Elissa


[Unless Margie's delivery gulls get lost, they should drop a package to the deck of the Murderess that contains a full outfit from Himmelen. Dark grey pants are fashioned almost like jodhpurs below the knee in order to be tucked into the polished, knee-high, black leather boots that are included. A crisp white shirt with loose sleeves and frilly cuffs is folded beneath a bottle green waistcoat with silver buttons. The largest piece, however, is a long, woolen coat so dark green as to almost be black with cuffs and collar of silvery yak fur. It is lined with dark green silk. Tucked into the package are a pair of chocolate frogs and a little card that reads 'Happy Name Day from Elissa Cousland'.]

--------

To the Knight of the Red Ribbon -

Your absence is sorely noted and your lack of communication through the journal is worrisome. If you are able to read this, please respond as soon as you are able, so we can stop wondering if you have been returned to Boston by Jones.

If you are, indeed, here and well, prepare to be seized and confined to quarters upon your return.

[He's waited long enough (not that he was waiting, per se) that the handwriting on this entry is dark and sharply-angled, as if written by someone very annoyed indeed.]

If any of you finds someone who belongs on my crew and isn't on my ship, you have full rein to throw them into the ocean.
