Second Gamble ♠ [Written, backdated to the 26th]
Hello, this is Captain Celestia Ludenberg of The Antoinette. For those of you who hadn't paid attention to the conversation Kaito-kun and myself had regarding "Scurvey Dog", allow me to explain. Thanks to the recent string of wasted questions we've dealt with as of late, I've decided that in order to ensure we do not waste yet another question, we should take a vote each week to decide what question gets asked and what person gets to ask it. Do keep in mind that both are important, as even the best question can be useless if the person asking it cannot speak clearly.
Originally I had planned to post this earlier, but due to the massive storm that hit our ship I had more important issues to deal with. We're all alright, for those who are curious. A bit shook up, but nothing major.
Regardless, onto the main point of this message. I myself will not be collecting the votes. Rather, I will be collecting the questions that each of you want answered, as well as the names of any volunteers who wish to ask Scurvey Dog the question we choose. Kaito-kun will be taking care of the actual voting, so look out for his post in a few days time.
So far, I have these questions collected:
1)What is the hard way of getting back home?
2) Why does Davy Jones want the ruby?
3A) Since we use the ruby to wish ourselves home, does that wish count for all of us or just the person who completes the ruby?
3B) If it counts for everyone, can those who prefer to stay here do so?
4) Which Nation does the navy hail from?
5) How the local sailors navigate by night?
6) What has been down to our bodies and powers?"
7) What kinds of weapons and tools does the navy possess?"
8) What information does the navy have on us?"
And that's it. I will update the list as time goes on. As for the people who wish to ask him the question, they are as follows:
1) Myself, Celestia Ludenberg
2) Kuroba Kaito
Along with the questions list, I will be updating this list as well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. I will answer them to the best of my ability; that is all.

Some of these I can answer, but I'm quite...unsure by what you mean by a few of them.
1) ...of course they disappeared from view instead of fading away. That's what buildings, islands, cities, and the like do when you move far enough away from them.
2) The F stands for Fahrenheit while the C stands for Celsius. They're both ways of measuring temperature. You know, how hot or cold something is?
3) What machines are you referring to?
4) We're considered pirates because we are on boats searching for treasure. I would imagine the Navy thinks of us as threats and simply does not care about facts. Shoot first and ask questions never is most likely their policy. As for why we're here, it seems to be that we are to find the Piedra Roja for Davy Jones.
5) Probably government. As for why they're in the North, I really don't see how that matters.
6) This question I have no answer for. As such, it might be worth adding to the list.

I'll try to clarify then.
1) Unless there are geographical formations, like mountains, hills, or valleys, then the settlements would only fade into the distance. The fact that they rise and fall behind the horizon is confusing for me, as water generally does not cover these formations unless the relative height of the geographic features allows it.
2) I am referring to any of these automated devices, like the self cooling ice boxes. There are likely others who have never seen these before, which could prove dangerous if the wrong people get curious
As for the rest, I thank you. There is no method of measuring temperature where I'm from. It's a matter of how hot or cold it is, but there is nothing so formal. The predictions are guesses based on yearly patterns and cloud movements. It's easy to tell when there will be fair or stormy weather by the shape of the clouds.
Regarding piracy: that is personal preference. I've been mistaken for a pirate once already. It was not the most pleasant of experiences.
written;
1) ...you do realize Empieza is not covered by water as we speak, yes? It's also not rising and falling. As we move away from a set point, the point set merely appears to be moving away. In all actuality it is us who are moving, while the aforementioned point is still in the exact same spot.
2) ...I know I'm going to regret asking this, but could you please explain to me how a refrigerator, which is the device you are referring to, could possibly be dangerous? Aside from staying inside of it with the door closed or having it fall on top of someone, of course.
written;
1) I am aware of this. In my experience, the only way a settlement is hidden from view is if it is over a hill. You lose sight of it as you pass the peak. On a flat surface, like the sea, it should simply fade into the distance.
2) It is not the machines themselves we should worry about. They might seem threatening to those who are unaware, and those same people could lash out based on the potential threat and cause trouble because of the nature of these machines.
written;
1) The sea is not flat because the planet is not flat. Your logic is completely flawed.
2) It's a fucking box that you use to keep food fresh. It's not going to murder you in your sleep, so for what purpose would you find it threatening?
written;
-The world is flat. I have personally stood on the edge of it myself to confirm my observations. The idea of a world that is round like a ball is absurd!
-I have no quarrel with the ice box. It's quite useful, and personally spares me the extra work and frustration of performing the same task. However, a person unfamiliar with this might see it as a monster of some manner.
A threat.

I've had enough of your idiocy. Consider this conversation over, as I fear any further contact with you will put my precious brain cells in danger.
