Greetings, fellow sailors on a strange sea, my name is Ringabel and it seems I now count as part of your number. It's quite a singular situation we've found ourselves in, is it not? It's certainly the first time I've found myself in a world that's completely unfamiliar to me.

As I understand it, the natives are going to get a bit hostile shortly, so I'd like to have a new destination in mind. If anyone is looking to take on a new crew member, I can offer my skills as a navigator, pilot, warrior, magician, and expert on matters of the heart.

(Offers from beautiful women will be considered first.)

Hello Ringabel,

I am Musa, Captain of Queen's Gambit and I'm willing to help you find a crew to suit you. It just ultimately depends on what you want to do exactly.

I suppose I want to do what anyone would want to do if they found themselves in this situation. By which I mean travel the world and see what beauties it holds for me!

[He actually wants to figure out how he got here and what needs to be done to get back, but sometimes sensible things like that just don't get said.]

There are a few crews that do that, some get into trouble more than others, but other crews do things along the way such as the Black Market to gain money to keep on living.

Crews that travel the world and go on adventures are mostly the Spades, Straw Hat's, Katabami and the Maharajan are the ones that I know of. The ship I'm on while we do go from island to island we dabble in the Black Market among other business ventures. I'm not sure what exactly other crews do however, so make of that what you will.

I see, I see. I don't have much of a personal agenda, so I suppose I'm not terribly picky. I would expect pirates to do all of those thing to begin with. Not that I've known terribly many pirates, of course.

Oh wow. It seems you have a lot of talents, don't you?

[knightlydiary]

[Oh, voices come out of this book! He's never had an enchanted journal before, only the regular sort.]

I do indeed! When one lives the life of an adventurer and quests to save the world, one picks up quite a few skills along the way!

[If you let him brag, it's your own fault.]

voice;

[bloodheels]

Save the world, huh? What was going on where you were from then?

[She didn't know, but saving the world was something she was dragged into herself, so she was curious if it was any different to her situation or not.]

[knightlydiary]

It was quite complicated indeed, my dear. An evil being from beyond our world wanted to smash its way through the borders of existence and bring everything to ruin. Or something like that. Terrible indeed.

[He has a tendency to space out during long speeches. It's a thing.]

Yo, yo yo yo- completely interested, man. You can sail? Like, any kind of boat? You open to contract negotiations? I'm not exactly a "beautiful lady", and I don't have any to offer, but I wouldn't mind going to find some, y'know what I'm sayin'? Me and my partner are stuck on this rock until we find someone who can sail, so hit me up!

[Voice]

[knightlydiary]

These boats are a bit old fashioned compared to what I'm used to, but the basic theory is the same. I don't see it being a problem. It's every man's dream, isn't it? Being a pirate captain and sailing the seas in search of treasure and breaking the hearts of women on every island he passes? Not that I want to break any hearts, mind you, but sometimes it's unavoidable.

[Voice]

[blowfishabq]

Well- er- I couldn't exactly promise you "captain", per se- I think that position is probably taken. And trust me, it's not me, either- but really, what's a title, anyway?

[Voice]

[knightlydiary]

Very true. After all, every man is captain within his own heart, is he not? No one's let me be captain yet, anyway, so it won't hurt my feelings one bit.

[Voice]

[caster_blaster]

Matters of the heart? What the hell does that even mean?

[Voice]

[knightlydiary]

Love, my friend! Love and romance!

Re: [Voice]

[caster_blaster]

That's not exactly a skill that most people look for in a crew-member.

[Voice]

[knightlydiary]

It should be! I should think things could get quite messy in close quarters without someone around to smooth things over!

[secondsmarch]

You definitely a lot going for you with all those skills.

text;

[knightlydiary]

I should think so. I may have found myself far from home, but at least the situation is far from unfamiliar and well within my abilities to make the best of.

[secondsmarch]

You've been through this before?

voice;

[feetarestrange]

Matters of the heart?

voice;

[knightlydiary]

That is by far the most important thing in this world, is it not?

voice;

[feetarestrange]

I don't really have any problems like that.

[seakingbait]

[Beautiful women, what?]

Oh, you're a navigator, too? Maybe we can trade secrets some time!

Voice;

[knightlydiary]

[He has priorities, Keimi.]

My dear, any secret of mine is yours to know.

Voice;

[seakingbait]

Really?

[Must not be very good secrets if he's willing to give them up so easily.]

It's nice to meet someone else who knows how to use a map and compass.
