[there is absolutely no warning before a high-pitched, distressed, loud voice emerges from the journal.]

WHO. DID. THIS.

[well, she figured out the voice function... there is an aggressive sigh, then a groan that is dragged out as long as her lungs and throat permit.]

This is NOT Fiji! This is not Monaco, or Bermuda, or Dubai, or even TOKYO! I know well enough that WHATEVER THIS IS ISN'T HOME OR A VACATION SPOT AND WHOEVER BROUGHT ME HERE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION WILL BE SENT ON A HOUSHAKUJI SHIP TO ANTARCTICA AND LEFT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM THE SUN ENTERING THROUGH THE ENORMOUS HOLE IN THE OZONE LAYER AND RABID PENGUINS!!!!!!

[there's another groan, and you can practically hear her pulling out her hair. yelling isn't going to help her-- screaming into a book isn't the same as tearing into a real person.]

Though, whoever helps me get home will be handsomely rewarded with as much money as they can carry to wherever they want. And I'll be grateful too! Don't think that I'm some unappreciative wretch. The sooner I get back to my room in Japan, the sooner everyone will be happy. I don't like that I've been KIDNAPPED! It's all fine and well in fiction but HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO ME?!?! I'm ready to leave, no doubt about it! I saw a guy stab another guy. The first guy peed on him, so I mean it was a little deserved but I SHOULDN'T SEE ANYONE GET STABBED OR PEED ON OR SPIT LIKE FIFTEEN FEET!!! DOES NO ONE HERE KNOW MANNERS?!?!?!

[there's a soft sob, followed by squelch (possibly underfoot), then a shriek and rapid-fire swearing in japanese.]

Oh. My god. I do not know what I stepped in, but it was something AWFUL!!!! MY SHOE IS RUINED... This is terrible! Is this the commoner life? I can't handle this. Who has a private jet I can borrow? It's Renge Houshakuji. My family will pay yours back double, I promise!

[Yeah now it's down to teen age girl chatting with friends loud.]
Shipping or Travel? I don't suppose you know how to do more than wear the outfit.

Davy Jones. As for where he is most of the time that depends on if you believe in the afterlife or not.

Both! The Houshakuji Shipping Conglomerate is an old company, working with cargo ships and cruise liners. You can't be in port for too long without seeing a ship that belongs to us. And I most certainly CAN do more than wear the outfit. Not a whole lot, but I know the basics-- port, starboard, forward, aft, bridge of a ship, how to be a captain, how to read a map, so on and so forth. I wasn't taught TOO much. All of that was going to wait until after high school, and after that I was going to learn how to run our company. But with the yacht I have, I wanted to learn soon, of course!!

[it's all babble, really, but she's trying to show she's remotely capable. it's a surprise for everyone.]

Davy Jones?! He's totally just a myth, or like. A movie character!! Even the guys on our ships don't really believe in him anymore. [a pause.] Though, I might start believing in anything because of all this.

Well knowing a few of the basics will make you more attractive to anyone looking to have you join.

[Her family pride is admirable.]

Well some version of him is real here. I don't think I've heard him called a movie character before.

I like to think I'm attractive, no matter what!! Still, I doubt girls really matter to pirates, or. Well, you know. It's less what you look like, and more what you do, right?

[houshakuji 4 lyfe. she will go down that ship. (ba dum tsh)]

Geez, I wish other things were made real here-- like! I'd love to be a princess! Or be married to Kyouya! Or look cute with short hair!!! Something improbable, but great and less terrifying! Can we trade Octopus Face for all that instead? Why don't we trade him for a ticket home, actually...
