...it seems I'm not in Unova anymore. I should probably try to contact my crew and tell them not to worry about me. But I'm enjoying this little getaway from the daily headache also known at the Hazmats.

Oh but they've probably already heard my voice on here. Hey guys. I'm not dead.

[For a certain someone, she could be found in that secret cave at the far end of the island. He knows where. But for everyone else, you could MAYBE catch her wandering around town, looking at stalls or maybe just sitting by the fountain. She'll be wearing a cloak with her hood up. So good luck.]

I went home, Gaius. I was there for a few months. Then, about a few days after the start of summer, I was brought back here for some reason.

You know I'd never abandon the crew. But I just needed some time to readjust to the idea of being a pirate again, and I figured, maybe I'd take my time before heading back.

[willwork4sugar]

...

We'd figured- hoped, really, that you'd been sent back. You kinda disappeared in the middle of a battle so I wasn't sure what to think.

...don't think we have much choice here when it comes to taking to the seas around here or not, and even if we don't play up the part, we're always going to be labeled pirates.

At least you got some time to readjust to the place. When I got thrown back here I had no idea what was going on and I think me and Jingles were about ready to take each other down until recognition hit.

[anelegantmyth]

It's not the label that bothers me. It's...being stuck on a boat for another seven months. Constantly having to worry about you guys, and making sure I do justice to the title of quartermaster. It gets stressful sometimes.

[willwork4sugar]

Heh. I think you're taking the title too seriously. Our crew's as laid back as they come, and everyone worries just as much about everyone else.

I'm not crazy about being stuck on a boat for as long as we can be, but at least there are plenty of places to stand on solid ground in between.

And don't get me started on stress. I think I wanna swear off any more missions Jingles might think to put me in charge of.

[anelegantmyth]

...because I disappeared during the last one you were in charge of? I'm sorry, Gaius. But I kept my promise. I came back to you, didn't I?

[willwork4sugar]

The first one, the last one- they're the same thing.

...you did, but at the time, we didn't know that. You probably didn't either, if you were aware of being sent back.

[anelegantmyth]

Please tell me you didn't mourn for me or anything. Oh Arceus, please tell me you didn't turn into me while I was gone.

[willwork4sugar]

We didn't think that you'd gotten killed since you'd been with Ariel the whole time. Tried looking for you but we couldn't stay long without pulling the Nightfury and the rest of the crew closer to the main battle.

Got back to the island to pick up Jingles who was left a mess from his own fight with that guy we pulled out of the ocean.

[anelegantmyth]

So a lot did happen while I was gone. Kitty was the first person I talked to when I got back, and all I did was tell him I needed time away. I didn't bother to ask what happened during that fight.

Arceus, if I had known something happened to Kitty, I would have come back sooner.

[willwork4sugar]

Doubt he would've told you himself. Heh. We didn't even know until we pulled into the docks and saw him sitting there a bloody mess.

[He shakes his head. Crazy captain.]

[anelegantmyth]

How about you? Nothing happened to you, right?

[willwork4sugar]

Other than panic and think I was the worst first mate ever?

Nah, I kept my promise too. Got in, got the goods, got out. Well. Okay, so there were still a good number of soldiers to deal with in between but not nearly as much as could've been.

[anelegantmyth]

Gaius, I'm so sorry about that. Seriously, if there's anything I can do to make up for that...urgh, I'm the worst.

[willwork4sugar]

[He holds up the cheesecake in front of her, his gaze fixed out at the sea beyond them.]

We've already been through this once before, except I was the one that had disappeared, right?

But we're both here, and Jingles and the rest'a the crew would be relieved to see you back, so let's not keep away for too long, huh?

[anelegantmyth]

That...wow that's a clever way to get me to come back to the crew. Guilt tripping with a side of bribery.

[ She takes the cake away from him and smirks. ]

I hate you so much.

[willwork4sugar]

No ya don't.

[anelegantmyth]

Nope, no I don't. In fact, I love you so much, it's a wonder I haven't actually kissed you yet. But I did, however, order a crap ton of candy from Ms. Margie.

Why? Because I like seeing you smile.

[willwork4sugar]

What, don't think we got enough left over from candy island?

[Still, he's obviously not going to turn down a ton of candy, no sir. That smirk on his face says it all.]

[anelegantmyth]

Think of it as more of an " I'm sorry I disappeared when you needed me" present. Just like the wine I got kitty and the books I got for Lea. All "I'm sorry" presents.

Oh, by the way, I brought two new pokemon from home.

[willwork4sugar]

...well, you're all right and safe, so I guess your gift is just icing on the cake.

New? -wait, so was that thing that came out of the water out there one of them?

[anelegantmyth]

That depends, what did you see coming out of the water out there? Considering this world is filled with weird creatures that tend to come out of nowhere.

[ She looks down at the pretty pumpkin cheesecake. ]

and we really need to cut into this.

[willwork4sugar]

Eh...it was kinda big and squiggly. It didn't do much more than look at me though.

[He grins and slips out the paring knife he carries, holding it out to her by its little leather sheath.]

[anelegantmyth]

Big and squiggly? You sure it wasn't Milotic trying to play with you? She really missed you, you know.

[ She happily takes the knife and cuts the cake into eight. Just like before. ]

[willwork4sugar]

[Gaius shakes his head.]

I know what Milotic looks like.

[Aaand he's not surprised as he sees her cut the thing into eighths.]

[anelegantmyth]

[ It's six pokemon and the two of them. You KNOW she always shares with her babies. ]

Okay, well I do have another water pokemon now. Her name is Eelektross and she kind of looks like a wide mouthed serpent?
