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.

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?

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.

[celebrity_commentator]

Oh, thank you very much, Kyouya-san! That seems like a weird rule, but I guess I can't really argue with it.

So this is a real island in the middle of the ocean somewhere? Not a theme park or some kind of, I don't know, weird illusion?

[hostclubshadowking]

I'm afraid not. I've been here for a month now, and I've seen no sign that all of this is anything but genuine.

The locals will tolerate you for about a week. Then, they prefer to see you leave as part of a crew.

[celebrity_commentator]

A crew? Like...sailing?

I don't know how to do that...

[hostclubshadowking]

My advice would be to find a crew who has experience. They can teach you. That's how I've learned what I know.

[celebrity_commentator]

Where would we go, though? To find this jewel thing from the poem? There's nothing that says where to start looking.

[hostclubshadowking]

Admittedly, it's a bit of a guessing game at this point.

A few of our number take out their frustrations out on Mr. Dog. I advise against that.

[celebrity_commentator]

He does seem a little intimidatin'.

Intimidating. Wow that accent's kind of infectious.

[hostclubshadowking]

He can be, but he's generally only short with those who've been rude to him. As long as you're polite, he's very civil.

Oh. One piece of advice: If you haven't yet, check your pockets or any bags with you. You should find at least some coins to pay for your room and board with.

[celebrity_commentator]

[She quickly does so.]

Huh! I've never been kidnapped and given money before. Between this and the journal, I guess someone really does want me to do something...
