I have a question. One that I've been thinking about for a while and I just want people's honest thoughts.

I know we have a welcome committee type thing going around, but I was wondering if they had like a brochure or leaflet filled with questions that usually one might ask when they first arrive and the answers to said questions?

If we don't, I was thinking of maybe making one myself and fill it with information you lot would consider useful to those new arrivals. Like maybe how to sail a ship for newcomers, Q&A, tidbits we have discovered while here such as how death works. That sort of thing.

Would that even be a good idea? I would like to know.

[Did someone light the Welcome Committee signal?]

We don't have a brochure, but we do have posters! I try to cover all the important bits, but there's only so much you can do without actually being there, right?

Hey--but if you're willing to stay on Empieza and hand these leaflets to people, then maybe we can work something out!

The flyers I have are water damaged from last month. We could stand to update them. The idea is also to have people around but most of the committee's gone dark. [With Codi in charge he's not surpised.}

Posters? [She didn't even know there were any, then again she can't recall last time she was actually on the island herself.]

But wouldn't other people see things like posters who aren't outsiders?

But as for the second question I would if we ever went back there often, but we don't.

So you don't have one I could look at then? Then again how could one from distances like we do.

Though to have people around it would mean people couldn't go very far as they would need to head back too. I can understand the reasoning for having people around but at the same time it limits the distance one can go, don't you think?

I'll see if I can find one were the ink's still ledgeable.

I think the goal of the idea was that we'd have atracted at least one person per crew and that would cover things. While passing by the island makes a great short cut there's not much there unless you need new crew.

Yes, posters! I've been updating them every month. [Then, a slight correction to account for her second question: ] --but not with anything, you know, mission critical. I keep that kind of information in the journal discussions. I wish I could put more stuff on the posters, but we run into the same problem that you have--not all of us can stop by Empieza at the start of the month! We have to have something around that can inform people when we're not there.

It sounds like a good idea to me. I would've wanted something like that when I first arrived.

I guess the distance between this island and all the others is the problem we usually come across. Otherwise I would be back more often to help welcome people. But I believe people still do, just over these journals instead.

Its not very welcoming, but it helps at least. I mean after all there might be another time when we all can't be on the island for one reason or another.

I've heard there were posters about? Did you not see them?

Thank you, although you don't have to look.

There in't, that's why I think our crew very rarely goes there, but we manage to get someone monthly. I can see how the idea is useful, but I didn't know such a thing existed till today.

I wasn't really paying attention to that, honestly.

Yeah--so do we! It's just a more...organized welcoming, you know? A question-and-answer kind of thing. But even then, if someone arrives and they start panicking as soon as they get there, with no one else informed to calm them down and tell them what's going on--we get another Empieza market rebuild, if you know what I mean.

So would things like a leaflet have been easier for you, rather than the posters?

I believe I know what you mean. It was quite a big thing at the time wasn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if everyone knew about it.

The leaflet sounds better to me. But I think it's more of a matter of making sure people can get to the material without too much trouble.

Then maybe the leaflet we can use via the journal would be the best idea, right?

I think so, yeah. But are you really going to be doing this by yourself?

As I said someone who made the posters was trying to do this exact thing. So maybe letting them know and seeing what could come up with might be a start.

So I doubt I'll be doing it on my own, especially since I'm no expert in things like sailing.

You would be surprised! A lot of people don't even know who was responsible.

[...Which she didn't, either, until rather recently--but details! The point is, she can lord this information over others with impunity, and she loves it.]

You could always ask Ace. I bet he could show you a few things about it.

[She's actually joking about this.

...

Don't do it.]

Really? [Well she didn't have a clue herself technically, so she shouldn't really be talking.]

I could, couldn't I.

[She is taking it rather seriously. Abort. Abort.]

I mean he does have some experience after all.

I was only joking, Kairi.

[But has the damage already been done? That is the question.]

Oh, were you?

[Thankfully she hadn't actually asked him yet.]

Yeah! You'd think something like that would be obvious, with the scale and all, but the cover-up was pulled off really well! ["Cover-up" meaning, "Sasuke happened to mention it," but close enough.] But the point is, it was a while ago, and a lot of people just know about the consequences instead of what actually happened.

Yeah, there's probably a bunch of better choices out there.

I guess, but if I do such a thing I would have to ask people anyway, so I guess I can get more than one.

Asking around couldn't hurt. With so many boats and captains, you're sure to get more than enough information on the subject.

And that is a good thing to learn as well. Thanks for that. I should head off and find things out.

Keep me and the others updated, okay?

I will do.
