piratejournal | Week 34 - Can be read by all

Goodness! I've rarely seen the Mistress in such a state! Granted it's in large part due to the massive hangover but she's been mumbling under her breath for days now and sending kicks this poor Meep's way. Whatever you've done I wish you wouldn't. She becomes rather unbearable after a while. At any rate, she wanted me to tell you two things.

[though written through the journal is the faint rustle of paper]

If you haven't received your Typhoon Grips by now, you're out of luck and you'll have to buy them you-- Oh dear, ah-- you-- I can't even think of an appropriate word here. Well, best leave it to your imaginations. Cloud Islands have been released and will be floating in various directions. Instructions on how to use the Grip have come packaged with the instrument. She also wishes to note it's only one per crew, even if you should have multiple ships, and if you should lose it, replacements can come from Backwater at considerable cost.

The second item-- Oh, dear. It seems a little inflammatory. You know there is an old saying, pertaining when wars were fought on land-- there were no kinds of long distance communication and so in order to relay orders from one army to the other, messengers would be dispatched. Whether they carried good news or bad news, the best strategy was often considered not shooting the messenger whatever the news since he is but a humble porter and has no part in these...sorts of situations.

She says that she is lifting the ban on the Spades for the most part just to rub it in the face of those belonging to that-- to that-- Well suffice to say it's a pretty heavy derogatory term addressed to the captain of the Sinewave. Furthermore anyone caught helping that-- insert word here-- will be banned as well. She knows what you do, she says, she's not stupid.

Dear me, dear me. Er well this is a bit unprecedented and I am rather busy with my studies and suchlike, but I will be around for at least a short while to answer any questions you might have... well a few at any rate. I can't have her finding me doing this or...well...suffice to say it won't be particularly...pleasant.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm gonna' see what I can do.

You have me quite curious, though. Why do you not wish to harm anyone?

That's got ME curious. Why WOULD I want to harm someone? Nobody involved here has attacked me, so why would I attack them? Hell, I don't even like fightin' the NAVY, except at a minimal level.

Hurtin' people isn't a GOOD thing, Grell. Werewolves have more pride than to pick on others. I don't want to fight any of you, and I don't want people on my side to be hurt.

Though as of late, some actions taken have been really questionable. That doesn't mean I can just abandon people if there's a chance I can make this right.

If we were merely picking on you, it wouldn't lead to war. She has to take responsibility for what she does, as we all do, yet her actions will make more enemies than allies.

Which is what I'm tryin' to do.

I applaud you for trying, even though we both know you're not the best at diplomacy.

[There is amusement in her words. Akira, you're so interesting.]

Look, it's a work in progress, okay? I've come a long way from how I used to be. I used to invite trouble, but I've had to learn that my personal bullshit actually affects people other than me.

And that's why I think you're not that bad!

I'm not spotless, either.

Fates, I would hope not!

I forgot to ask. What's your deal, anyway? You didn't smell human when I saw you in person.

That's because I'm not.

So what are you?

[Grell hums lazily. It's obvious that she isn't going to tell.]

I don't particularly know you well enough to divulge that information, unfortunately.

Is this because you might end up tryin' to kill me or something?

...yes, actually.

[Sure, William outed them during their exam, but they had to collect Thomas' soul anyway!]

It usually ends up quite painful, and my identity isn't really of importance here. [Except it is but whatever.] So I'd rather not bring it up.

Grell, I'm still tryin' to talk sense to her. In case that doesn't work, I really apologize, because I'll probably end up knockin' you out for a bit. I might not be able to transform right now, but I'm not helpless.

If you're able to do that, then you'll be a most worthy opponent~! But I won't give you an easy battle, Akira Inugami of the Sinewave.

Werewolves are probably a little different than you've probably seen in old stories. See, we're always super-human, it's just a matter of how much so.

I've dealt with super-humans. It does not deter me.

Let me run something else by you...What about mutiny? What if I replace Codi as Captain for a bit? Can I make an apology in her place?

[That grabs her attention. So much so that Grell doesn't reply right away. Mutiny...]

...do you think you could truly pull it off?

I've seen Codi in action. As I am now, I'm strong enough to take her without too much trouble. If she won't see enough sense to stow her pride, I won't have a choice.

If you're certain you could, then I will very much take your offer into consideration.

I'm completely certain.
