Week 3

[scurveydog]

Dunno why I put up with ye bastards. Really I don't. Dog has a bluster of a cold this week so no lip or I'll send you to Davy Jones meownself. Bedamned allergies. Give me an island w'out ragweed and I'll gi' ye treasure higher than your grandmother.

Weather

Bedamned if I know. Can't see a thing with this cold, so full of snot I am. Sneezed out a goober as big as me arm, and there's truth to that. Had heard tales of a swarm 'o man eatin ladybirds comin' in from th' Eastern seas but that's likely a rumor. Ugh, me achin' head.

News

Navy is pissed. Yuezhong is up in arms. Zombies in Port Chance where there warn't zombies afore. Tis either Davy Jones or ye brats, and if he's stirrin' it's in a different way. Ye'll pay for it in one way or th' other. If he don't see to that, I will.

Good spot 'o news, Tardle Island be appearin' in the South West startin the week o' the 13th and'll be afloat 'til 'bout Wednesday 'o that week. If anyone be knowin' where a shard may be, it be them. But good luck gettin' it out o them.

More seamonsters be spotted. Kraken ate two of Silverleg's fleet and he only got three ships. Damn beasties.


Now it be time fer questions. Shepherd crew is banned due to the insufferable brat. Flynn Rider be off the hook fer now. I have limited patience so watch yerselves or suffer the consequences.

[and not too long later]

Shepherd Crew be banned til March at the earliest and are lookin' fer a life ban, much like Ganandorf has since he's obviously too good fer the likes 'o me.

Here's one I'm curious about: Why does Davy Jones want the ruby?

[Written]

[dragmire]

At last, a sensible question.

[scurveydog]

Interestin' question that. Jones be half legend, half man. Maybe more one than the other these days. They say he wants it back so's he can rest in peace. Others say that

[though this is written you'll hear the sound reminiscent of a fog horn though it's actually quite a lot of snot]

others say that he wants it to take o'er the world and cast it into enternal night. Or get a hareem o' desirable women to answer his beck and call. He wants it to come back ta life, to usher in peace or doom. It holds the secret to a treasure even vaster and more powerful.

I even heard one moonstruck idjit say he really just wants it because it sparkle like a star.

So that's yer answer as it stands. Dunno how it'll help ye, but if ye really want to know the truth 'o it, ye have to be askin' him what wants it.

[brbvirmire]

Yes, thank you, that's exactly what I was going to ask.

[Written]

[grizzly_tea]

Is there no way for us to repeal our ban? Perhaps an official apology from Conan, or whomever may have offended you?

[She doesn't really care about asking him questions, but it does matter to her crew, and thus it is her duty to at least try to help, even if she doesn't like Scurvy much.]

[scurveydog]

Want to know? Ask next week.

Oh right. Ye can't.

Go be an idiot somewhere else.

[soundandfurry]

I'm sorry you're feeling sick... Hmm, I could make you a care package! Though I don't know where to send it...

[scurveydog]

Kind 'o ye. I'd tell ye where but ye'd die a horrible and prolonged death if ye tried even ta send it, and no one wants that. The screamin' always gives me a headache.

[Voice]

[collagehero]

Awww, poor Dog! You have allergies and a cold? There must be snot eeeeeverywhere! Stay inside and take a nice long nap and maybe you'll feel better. Maybe take a bath first if you feel itchy, too.

[scurveydog]

Thankee, lass. Ye know that's the first person whose looked after the old dog without wantin' somethin' or havin' bein' a right bitch afore hand.

Tell ye what, just for that, ye get a question. Anything ye want.

And for all ye other bastards readin', don't think this'll happen again. It happens when I say it does and not afore or after. And I'm sayin' it happens now.

[hostclubshadowking]

I've noticed strangers who seem to be in the same situation we found ourselves in. Will this happen often?

[scurveydog]

Kyouya. Lad. It has a hooky bit at the end. Try again next week.

Greetings, Mister Dog:

I'm terribly sorry to hear that you're currently sick, allergies are certainly a thing to take seriously. I hope that you will be able to take proper rest and have a healthy diet in order to recover as quickly as possible.

That said, allow me to thank you for the information you have provided us with. It would be presumptuous of me to speak for everyone else, but I greatly appreciate the welcome message you left in the journal, as well as the current information you just gave us. I will be sure to keep everything in mind, please, be sure to not stress yourself too greatly, specially now that you're sick. I'm sure it would not do anyone, be that us or you, any good if you were to get too sick.

Best regards,

Elizabeth Midford

[scurveydog]

Thankee, Miss. Yer a balm to the soul, ye are. Can't tell ye what it means to me to have such a properly worded letter in care to this old Dog. What is given is also received, they say. So who knows what the comin' weeks'll bring ye.

points for actually writing out that pirate accent

[scurveydog]

Nice touch, ain't it?

[Voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

I feel like I dropped into the magical land of pirate stereotypes. So who the hell are you supposed to be, Mister Dog? Is this the closest this place has to actual newscasting?

[scurveydog]

Ye be new so I'll treat ye gently. I answer one question a week and one a week only. And if ye're gonna be a bastard about it, tell me now, so I can tell ye to get stuffed and be done wi' it.

[ written ]

[deathsought]

Is there anything else we need to know about Tardle Island?

[scurveydog]

Why do ye idiots persist in askin' questions when I've said more'n once, mind, that I only answer one per week.

One.

Unless I say otherwise which I don't in this case.

So stow it away til ye get some brains in that head 'o yers or I'll stow ye away in a locker that matches the size 'o it.

[written]

[havesomedeath]

Whoa, seamonsters? Awesome!

[#priorities]

[scurveydog]

Hain't they just? I saw a Leviathan so big it ye could sail three galleons across it's back and it wouldn't even take notice.

[hero_complexed]

Would a spell help? With your cold, I mean. I know there's a potion for it-but I don't have any of my books on me or ingredients.

[scurveydog]

That be a question lad and I don't answer but one a week. In any case it mostly be allergies and nothin' helps those but movement and fresh air and burnin' all the ragweed to the ground in an inferno of righteous glory.

[handwritten]

[carptricks]

[sea monsters. he just hoped they weren't fish-shaped, and that The Shepherd didn't run into any]

Thanks for the-- uh, warnings. Hope your cold disappears soon, too.

[scurveydog]

Thankee, lad. I'll pretend I didn't read the --uh, warnings bit since that could be misthought mighty badly.

[written]

[oceanicbutterfly]

In addition to what's already been said, I'd recommend a cup of tea--peppermint if it's available to you.

[scurveydog]

The day they give me tea... Well perhaps one day if I actually behave meself, which I hain't intendin' to do. But yer suggestion be noted.

[Voice]

[bravelittlehero]

[Her voice may have a bit of a tremble to it.]

There's walkers here too?

[scurveydog]

Dunno what they are, sweet miss. Only one question a week, I'm sorry. Get yerself with a strong crew and you'll have naught to worry about.

[Voice]

[justgetseconds]

I wasn't aware what seems to be a supernatural creature was able to fall ill in such a way.

[More observation, though she is a tiny bit concerned. He does seem to be their only real line of help in this world.]

[hattrick]

Zombies?

[soundandfurry]

Don't worry! They're not Jianshi! I checked. -Because that's somehow a better situation.-

Voice

[celebrity_commentator]

Uh yes, hello Mr. Dog.

My name's Rise and I just read your little...welcome? On the page before this? And now I wonder why my English grade was so bad, actually.

Ah, more to the point, what exactly is this place? I read the poem and everything but is this...well, real?

Voice

[hostclubshadowking]

Hello, Miss Rise. My name is Kyouya Otori.

I'm afraid Mr. Dog only answers one question a week.

I can try to help, though. You're probably on Isla Empieza, sadly far from anything and almost everyone you know.

[callmewhateveryuwant]

[He's in too much pain from the zombie attack and then getting stitched up from it. But he does listen and replies to the message from the being.]

Thank you...for your answers. I hope you...feel better soon.

[handwritten]

[diamondlight]

I'm not sure how much it means coming from a Shepherd, all things considered, but for what it's worth, I hope you feel better soon. Having a cold is a pain when you can just take a day off to recover. There's no rest for us out here, so I can't imagine it's any easier.

written

[brbvirmire]

Kraken, huh. Would have been nice to know where this Silverleg's fleet is so we can stay the hell away.

[Look ma, no hooky bit!]

Good luck with the cold.

I'm sorry to hear that you are sick. I hope that you are able to get better soon.
