First Rose: Not in Oz [VOICE]

[He's been wandering around enough to see other posts and learn a bit about the journal's function.]

So we're given a journal, some money, and we're expected to leave this island as soon as possible via ship? [His voice sounds pretty skeptical.] Aren't there other options?

[In the background there is the sound of seagulls and the sea washing against the docks.]

I don't think I've been on a ship for longer than a day, if that long... [He can already feel he's going to have an awful time at sea. There is a sigh.]

From what I can see, not everyone has a journal like this. Any particular reason why?

[Aya will just smile wryly at that statement.] You can't guarantee that.

[He nods] That's what I meant. [It didn't matter...for now.]

So now what? [The point of meeting her was because of a challenge. One that he accepted pretty easily, but...details.]

You think I can't...but I'm pretty sure it's a guarantee already!

*Selphie nods and looks up at Aya, thinking now about just how short he might think that she is*

What now? Uhm... I don't remember! *Blinking, looking somewhat puzzled*

Was it... that you just wanted to make nice new friends?

[She's pretty short, but he's pretty tall, so there's little to worry about.]

[But at her question, Aya...isn't sure how to answer that.]

I was just answering a challenge.

Huh?

*Selphie just looks at him for a moment. And yes, she is just actually looking at him out of interest because she does that sometimes*

You mean the shard thing? That you need a ship for?

...you really don't remember our conversation... [Selphie...keep up!]

*Selphie just shakes her head, looking rather alarmed - oh shit, is she really losing her memories so quickly now*

Help me out a little?

I took my chances that you weren't an axe-wielding psycho murderer. [He knows better than to make a decision about her nature just yet, but he's leaning towards not an axe-wielding psycho murderer.]

And I'm not, see!

*Selphie gives her sweetest smile and holds out her palms again, lifting them closer to him this time*

No axe! Though I probably shouldn't have left my nunchucks on the boat... Ya know, cause, technically, you're the potential murderer here...

*Nodding at his sword*

[Blinking, he looks to his sword, then to her with a light laugh.]

I can see you're a risk taker, but you have a point. You should also carry around your nunchaku at all times. [Call him paranoid, but they were in a strange world where people wanted them off their island as soon as possible.]

*Selphie raises a brow at him for a moment - seriously? Being lectured from a guy she's only just met?*

Yeah... That was pretty stupid. But this island has been safer than the others. I mean, people round here can still be kinda nasty and not friendly but I've not had to hit anyone - yet!

[Yep. Deal with it.]

That yet part is what I mean. [He gives her a wry smile.] Even if I wanted to leave, I'm not really sure I could just get a boat and head out.

*Sorry, but she's just going to wave a hand around and kind of ignore that first part. Cause obviously safety is not important*

Well - that's exactly why you need a crew and a ship! Cause they will help you out with that, through thick and thin!~

[He had joined up with 'crews' most of his adult life. The group in Sendai and Tsushima, then Crashers, then Weiss, and finally Krypton Brand. So used to moving from group to group that Aya is unfazed by this notion.]

[It's just the way she says it that rubs him wrong.]

If they don't turn out to be enemies, first.

Enemies? *Selphie just smiles at that and shakes her head brightly* Nope! Not on my crew, anyway. Everyone is nice enough. Do I look like the kinda girl who would put herself on a ship with a bunch of bad guys?

You're the same girl who met with someone carrying around a sword.

[Really, Selphie?]

Well... Yeah. But - I mean, it's not like I'd actually just stand here and let you kill me with it or anything like that.

*Explaining this like duh, Aya, why don't you get this? But yes, she does at least appear a little flustered by how stupid she must look right now*

No, you probably wouldn't, but that doesn't mean you'd be able to stop me. [Even though he's saying that, Aya has a pretty casual stance.] Hence, my advice earlier.

[She'd stand a better chance with a weapon.]

Alright, well thanks for the advice Mr Aya. I'll keep in mind for next time. But you're not planning on slashing me right now, are you? Cause that's not fair. At least let the sparring wait until I actually have a weapon!

*So she looks Aya directly in the eyes, with what she hopes is a firm and challenging gaze. It'll certainly be firm. But challenging? Perhaps not so much, as rather amused*

You haven't done anything wrong, so no.

[Her fierce stare is only met with a wry smile. Sorry, Selphie, you aren't that intimidating.]

Unless you plan to change that?

Oh good! Then everything is all okay dokay!~

*After that short-lived staring competition, Selphie just grins and sticks out her tongue a little*

Nope! Not today, mister! I've got a long temper, remember?
