First Rose: Not in Oz [VOICE]

[formerabyssinian]

[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?

[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.

[booyaka_boom]

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?

[formerabyssinian]

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

[Really, Selphie?]

[booyaka_boom]

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*

[formerabyssinian]

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.]

[booyaka_boom]

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*

[formerabyssinian]

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?

[booyaka_boom]

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?
