[voice] and you can't hold me down / 'cause i belong to the hurricane

[It's Jean but not Jean: for those few here who know her, her voice sounds deeper. Sensual. More reckless, somehow.]

Anyone wanna help me get off this island? I'll make it worth your while.

We are in the same crew, which is the best way to survive here. It's not necessary, but know how to sail around it's the preferable option at least until you find your ground. But if it troubles you there are other crews who would be just as happy to welcome you.

[He doesn't know the story between Logan and this woman, neither does he care, but if she isn't convinced about going where Logan is... Ikki thinks she should be reassured that she has other options, even if she has said that she accepts the offer.]

If you still want to accept our offer you can wait there a bit more until we go to pick you up or you can come directly by yourself. [Pause.] Just one thing, fire doesn't scare you, right?

[She's got a bit testy. Happens when you're simultaneously arguing with the guy who killed you.]

Nothing scares me.

And I said 'all right'.

Nothing? That's just perfect. We have enough people scared of things around this world already.

You can come here from a store named Backwater Brig, just say that you want to go to the Sun, it's the name of the ship. It's the fastest way you have right now to get out of there.

The Sun.

I like that name.

[He laughs a bit.]

Me too, it fits some of us perfectly even. The Sun is where fire concentrates after all.

Mind if I ask your name? I'm Phoenix Ikki.

Yeah? [What, is Logan collecting Phoenixes now?]

I'm also called Phoenix. Seems like we might have a lot in common.

[Okay, now this really has his interest.]

It really seems so. I would ask if it's just a name or something else, but that's probably better left for when you're here. For now, to avoid confusion, just call me Ikki.

Anyway, there should be a long and dark alley right across the way one of the inns, it's hard to miss but if you're not sure just ask one of the locals and if they look at you as if you had lost your mind you'll know that you found the path. Apparently the place is just for us to use. Be sure to check the store before coming though, especially if there's anything from your world you need or want, they may actually have it in stock.

It's who I am. [She seems pretty firm about that]

The Backwater Brig, right? Your crewmate told me all about it. Sounds a little risky, if you ask me.

It's more safe than sailing the waters alone so far. Quick, painless and without stops or interruptions.

That said, if you don't run a few risks here or there life can get pretty boring, don't you think?

[Amused]

I meant for everyone else.

Who said that what I said couldn't be applied to everyone?

[Oh dear, he still doesn't understand what she's getting at.]

Sounds like you've been pretty lucky up until now.

Or maybe you are underestimating us? Personally I've gone through shit that would make "little risky" be a joke, and so have others.

Look, I don't know what you mean with "a little risky" or to what you're referring, to us inviting you right away, to use the Nav or whatever, it doesn't really matter. We like risks.
