[The Doctor's script is slow and deliberate, like he's waiting on something unpleasant to finish that he just can't rush. He's got a question that's more idle curiosity than anything pressing, but one he'd like answered. After all, he's got to wait on the glue to dry on his little project, and may as well see if anyone might have any bright ideas.

Because being at sea is fairly boring. And there is a distinct lack of music, so may as well fill it with idle chatter.]

So, life on a ship. Dreadfully boring when there's nothing going on yes? Yes.

Well, I've gotten a bit bored and I could use some suggestions on ways to entertain myself between projects. And I thought that...well...perhaps some of you fine people might have some ideas, preferably nonviolent or lethal ones, on how that could happen.

Suggestions appreciated.


Regards,
The Doctor

[What kind of nickname is that...

Her handwriting is also script, but in red, and not so slow. It's quite legible.]

Is that truly how you wish to be addressed?

As for entertainment, I can recommend stocking up on literature, if you do not have any aboard. There is also Truth or Dare.

[Voice]

[lonelygod]

[He'll swap to voice for this.]

Yes, it is. I'm the Doctor and that's all there is to it.

[Books will come later...or his rant about the lack thereof available in this world.]

[written]

[redcinemareel]

[She's...just going to continue writing, but she'll definitely note the similar accent.]

So be it.

Now, what of my other suggestions?

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

I prefer books personally. But word games and Truth or Dare never get old.

[At least not when you are the oldest brother and get to prank 1600 idiots into doing your bidding.]

[Sweet sweet free entertainment.]

[Quick, let's come up with a prank to troll Ace with.]

[Voice]

[redcinemareel]

At least be original.

[fierybluebird]

I beg your pardon, Miss?

Handwritten

[Elissa's script is much like a casual sort of simple, Celtic calligraphy and the markings are a good indicator that she is actually using a quill and ink.]

When I am not busy with my shipboard duties, I keep up a correspondence with friends I have made both on the island and through this journal. It helps to pass the time as well as allowing me to learn more about other customs and other places.

Perhaps you should find a few such individuals? I would be happy to write to you, if you are interested. My usual method is to select a blank page nearer to the back of the journal and simply begin a back-and-forth communication as if actually sending letters to one another.

I would be delighted to converse with you, Doctor, especially if you know anything about healing.

Handwritten

[lonelygod]

Penpals, you mean?

[He can get behind that. Despite the shortness of his reply, anyway.]

Handwritten

[elissacousland]

Pen pals - that is the perfect term for it and it made me laugh. Yes. Just so. Shall we begin a correspondence? If you are amenable, I will select a page nearly fifty pages from the end of the journal and we can begin there.

Would that entertain you, Doctor?

Hi, Doctor~ If you're bored, you should try papercraft! Origami would be great, too! It takes a lot of practice to get it right, so you could fill up a lot of time. And then you have something neat to show off when you're done!

[Voice]

[lonelygod]

Folding paper, you mean Hajime? I suppose I could, I've done it before...

[collagehero]

It's so much fun, isn't it? You can do really simple things like frogs or cranes if you have a few minutes, but I've seen pictures online of really amazing things people have made, like battleships and airplanes and robots! Those must have taken hours and hours! And you don't have to just use paper. I make hair bows and things by folding cloth.

[spiritua]

We're all sailing on the ocean, right? Maybe fishing!

[lonelygod]

Fishing? Well that's something my shipmates have covered. And even that is mostly sitting around, wouldn't you say?

[spiritua]

Maybe you could join them and chat with them? Fishing is a lot better when you do it with friends instead of alone, I think.

[booyaka_boom]

Boring?! I take that as an insult, mister!

*But yeah, whatever, she's actually giggling*

I guess nunchaku training is violent... How bout guitar?

[voice]

[lonelygod]

Did I say you were boring Selphie?

[There's a grin hidden in there somewhere.]

Guitar? Oh I'm dreadful, really. Piano I can do, but I'm afraid I haven't got the eat for guitar. Unless of course you'd want music that could wake the dead.

[abundantlove]

My friend Rikka loves to read... and you could possibly learn some new recipes?

[lonelygod]

Ah...cooking? Not really something I could do while working on other projects, requires too much attention I'm afraid.

I've been making notes of my travels for further use. Although the maps keep themselves updated, there needs to be a compilation of the dangers and details that each island presents. This way, we can keep eachother safe.

However, I must admit that I find all of this fascinating myself. A friend of mine would love being here because of how different this world is compared to my own.

[lonelygod]

A sort of shared atlas? Yes, that would be a good idea, wouldn't it...

[Gears are spinning...]

action cause i cannnnn

[aucella]

[Lara was flipping through her journal in her bunk - which was little more than a hammock - and simply trying to amuse herself when she came across the Doctor's post.

She's bored, and her mind is teeming with ideas. Plus, it'd be nice to speak to him again - he seemed perfectly able to hold a decent conversation.]

Doctor?

Still looking for suggestions?

[She carries with her a board and a jar filled with little round buttons.]

Works for me!

[lonelygod]

[He looks up from his journal, closing the book with a snap and smiling. In front of him is a jumble of wires and scraps of metal, wood, and other little tidbits. A few sections of metal seem to be glued to wood, waiting for the adhesive to set.]

Hullo Lara. Come in, come in.

[He nods and flashes a congenial smile.]

'Course I am. What've you got for me?

Action;

[hiken]

[Why respond in boring written words when he can shove his greasy face into The Doctor's room?]

Hey, Doctor. I've got somethin' you could gear yourself up for.

Action;

[lonelygod]

[He looks up with a raised eyebrow.]

And what's that?
