Murderess: two points.

1. There is a lot of talk about this Navy ball in the Corsair Kingdom. I believe it would be a good opportunity to gather information, or at least listen to what is being said within the Navy. Who among you can handle subterfuge?

2. We are running low on everything except what we can catch or collect in buckets. We're nowhere close to Empieza and restocking yet. Be careful with what you take from the stores, or I'll start requiring shared meals crew-wide.

Aw, you beat me to asking out Sakura.

But I'll be there. I've already made plans for something with someone, and it should throw them off if we both get spotted. I'll keep you posted.

[thethundersaid]

We need to divide those who are better at managing conversation amongst the crew.

Is this 'something' a thing I should know more about?

[missvicegirl]

I'll be palling around with someone from another crew, if that's alright. If we get caught, it'll be easier to pin it on the two of us acting alone than implicating the whole boat.

[thethundersaid]

I see. That makes sense. Anyone we've worked with before, or a new alliance?

[missvicegirl]

You know Ragna the Bloodedge? Kind of a difficult name to forget.

[thethundersaid]

I haven't spoken to someone of that name. Which crew?

[missvicegirl]

That'd be the Katabami, oh fearless leader.

[thethundersaid]

[This is some kind of tic Luka has, calling him things other than his name, but at least it's better than Sassy.]

I'll keep it in mind. Stay alert at the ball. It's not likely to end peacefully.

[missvicegirl]

You've got it. To be honest, I'm counting on him being my ticket out of there.

[thethundersaid]

[He's about to close the journal and call the conversation done when he remembers --]

If you see anything of value you can carry off, take it.

[missvicegirl]

Sasuke?

Have we

Ever talked?

For more than a minute?

Seriously, you don't need to tell me this.

[thethundersaid]

[To his complete surprise, the response makes his mouth twitch in amusement -- he's grateful for the interface of the journal.]

Just confirming.

[missvicegirl]

If it's not nailed down, I'll probably show up back at the ship with it.

[thethundersaid]

Good. I'll expect as much, then.

[missvicegirl]

I won't let you down.
