It seems like this world likes to go back and forth between celebrations and some form of drama.

[She gives a tired sounding sigh]

It is starting to make me wary when a celebration comes around, especially since something strange usually happens during them as well. Needless to say I am not looking forward to this Valentine's festival that is coming up.

[Never mind that she wasn't too thrilled about the holiday when she heard what it was about, but that's beside the point.]

Anyway, I have not been here for a year yet and I have seen several celebrations that were unfamiliar to me. For those who have been here for a year or so, are there anymore festivals after this one?

[So that she can brace herself for them.

[For the Spades, Rose can be found on deck if anyone wants to talk to her face to face.]

[After looking around to ascertain that he is, in fact, on Isla Empieza again, Dave finds a wall to lean against while talking into his journal. He doesn't have his red pen, so you're all going to have to put up with the sound of his voice.]

Damn, I'm feeling nostalgic all of a sudden. I guess sometimes you never know how much you miss something until it's gone. It doesn't look much different than it did before. I wonder what happened while I was away. Did people form new crews and get into fights? Did the weather act up and did weird shit happen? Did Davy Jones fuck with people like he always does? I bet he fucking did.

Hey Grell, are you out there? I hope you are. I hope Dirk and mini-me came back too, but I doubt that happened. Just my luck, shit never works out the way I want it to.

Thash, you still around? Been awhile since we talked, bro.

To everyone else; sup. Gimme a holla.

[After going through the book that she found on her when she woke up, and finding pages that actually spoke, Shanoa figured if she were to take to the book that it would answer her back.]

Where is this place? I shouldn't be here. [Unlike most newcomers her tone doesn't sound distressed. In fact, the voice doesn't seem to hold much emotion at all other than sounding a bit curious.]

I must complete my mission back in Romania and do not have time for this.

[She pauses for a second, a new thought coming to mind. It wouldn't be all that surprising if he was the one who sent her here.]

That is, unless, a man by the name of Albus is also here as well. If so, I would need information on his whereabouts. Thank you.
