[The message comes at night, as he's wandering on the deck. He's not up for guard duty tonight, but he still can't sleep, even if now that island is at a good distance away from them, the effects it had on him haven't vanished. He's still too close to his boiling point, or maybe he's already boiling and it's just a matter of time before he explodes in a ball of fire, anger and hate. Sleeping isn't an option in this state and he knows it better than anyone else. While asleep he may not be able to control his Cosmo, or he may enter into a nightmare that finally tips him over the edge. He may fall into sleep deep enough that he won't be able to know where he is when he wakes up, if someone comes to wake him up he may attack them driven by instinct and the thirst for destruction and release. He may attack Ace if his game of musical beds leads him to his bed, and while he doubts it would cause lasting damage, he would prefer to not do that.

So he doesn't even try to sleep, instead he wanders around the ship and enjoys the silence of the night. Not everyone is asleep yet, but it's calm enough that it could seem so. Eventually, he hits the journals after finding something floating in the water and that he picks up.]

Anyone else thinks that sleep is overrated tonight?

[There's a short pause.]

Right, I almost forgot, we're in Easter period. If anyone wonders why there are eggs in places there shouldn't be or weren't before, it seems this place wants to celebrate that with us.

I found a golden egg floating besides the ship just now, or an egg painted with a gold like color at least. If memory serves well those things should be made of chocolate or actual hard boiled egg-

[There's a cracking sound as the egg's shell starts to break, causing Ikki to stop talking. A few seconds later the chirps of a little chick are heard.]

Or a fucking fluffy chick apparently. What the hell?

[That's definitively not what he expected.]

I've always wanted a pet, or at least something to help keep my mind occupied sometimes.

So looking for eggs might be a good idea.

[Definitively going to have to work on that chicken coop. And think of a way to ensure that Ace won't just raid it and eat the chicks.]

If I find another golden egg I'll let you know then. Let's hope that they don't end up being carnivorous or something else in a cruel joke from this place.

[A pause.]

How is everything going for you?

And I'll see if I can find one myself. But the thought of egg hunting itself sounds like fun.

[How is she. She ponders for only a moment.]

I'm fine currently. Getting the hang of doing things again. How about you?

Egg hunting is actually a pastime for kids to celebrate Easter so it makes sense.

[There's a short and cut hum on his end. At the end he gives a partially honest answer.]

Could be better. But no need to worry, I still have my temper under control. I hope we hit an island with a volcano soon, though.

I does. I mean I did do it when I was younger, but it had been a while.

[She rather enjoyed it herself as she could recall.]

That's... good. I think and I hope so, but do we actually know if such an island exists?

You celebrated Easter in your world? Or was it for some other festivity?

[That's kind of interesting after all.]

Well, that Aelopoli or however was called had a volcano on it. But if going there is a no go and we don't find any other ones, I will just go to a deserted one and turn it into a volcano paradise with my own hands.

[And he's quite ready to do that. Seriously, Kairi, don't jinx it, he needs that volcano.]

We had those types of holidays. Christmas, Easter, Halloween, those kind of holidays.

[Yeeep, they had those holidays.]

Then I will root for us to find one that you'll like.

[You can do it.]

So the Christian religion also exists in your world?

[Halloween isn't a Christian holiday though, but the other two are and that's why he asks. He can imagine Halloween existing in different worlds, it's not something hard to come up with. But Easter and Christmas, they celebrate something too specific for him to be able to think of them technically sprouting out of nowhere.

He snorts at Kairi's next answer.]

Thank you, Kairi. Would you want to see how is a volcano on the inside when we find one? I could take you there and show you, don't worry it wouldn't hurt you.

I guess so, but none of us are really religious anyway.

[At least she didn't practice the faith anyway. She just enjoyed some of the means to the holidays mostly. At the question she nodded to herself, but she sounded quite excited about it.]

I would actually like that very much.

I can understand that. I serve a Goddess and I'm far from religious myself.

[Which is quite ironic. He would like to ask a bit more, but if she's not very religious chances are she wouldn't know the answer. The only reason why he knows about religions is because it's kind of needed to not be totally ignorant as to who the enemy may be. Though the Christian's god is pretty similar to Buddha, standing aside and just supporting Athena without getting directly involved.]

I'll make sure to remember it whenever we find one, then. You aren't claustrophobic, are you?

A Goddess? Whose that?

[She asked because she was curious of course. She wanted to get to know people more.]

I am not at least that I'm aware of.

Her name's Athena, Goddess of War and Wisdom. Ever heard of her?

[He doubts it, as even in his world many fail to have heard of her given how the era of the gods fell into oblivion.]

Good, because we will have to go inside of it through caves for you to be able to see it properly.

I haven't, no. [Then again living on an island there isn't much to learn there.]

That would be okay at least.

Yeah, most people in my world haven't either, she's a Goddess from ancient times that barely anyone remembers. She's not gone from the world, though, she keeps reincarnating in a human body, to fight along with us against other deities that try to destroy humanity.
