[Draco doesn't usually dictate his posts to the journal, but he's in just a bit of a mood today, so that's what ends up happening.

...Also, he only just turned back into a human and thus can't find his quill. He's still got his wand on him, at least, but he'd very much like off this bloody nightmare island as soon as possible and that means the first thing he does is scramble for the journal with his glorious non-ferrety hands and he forgets entirely that he could just transfigure a twig into a pencil or something—]

DEAR LOVELY CREW OF MINE...

[The words are kind of growled out. He sounds none too pleased, despite the false politeness.]

If you would be so kind as to inform me of your whereabouts, since I notice they are not where I currently am, I would very much appreciate it.

I've had my fill of this place. Two bloody weeks is more than enough.

[Pause.]

This is Draco Malfoy.

[Another pause.]

P.S. For the love of Merlin, be quick about it.

[dragonbadfaith]

Oh, for Merlin's sake. Is he never there? Maybe he's not actually real. You were probably speaking to a fake.

AK -- Avada Kedavra. It's, er. The incantation for the Killing Curse. [A beat.] Which I don't know how to use, but this other spell that I learned grants the user the ability to turn into an animal. Or to become an Animagus. Only you don't get to pick the animal, every Wizard has their own, and I sort of hate mine. As such, I wish I could kill the Animagus spell.

Do you follow?

[8D?]

[willwork4sugar]

Huh. Well, fake or not, that was some good ice cream.

....

[He's a little bothered that there's such a thing as a killing curse. He does let out a breath when Draco admits to not knowing how to use.

Slowly Gaius begins to nod.]

...I...think? Can't you just...not...use the animal spell, then?

[dragonbadfaith]

...I do enjoy ice cream.

[Hmm. WELL, maybe he'll miraculously turn up again at or around the same time that Draco has! WHAT A COINCIDENCE THAT WOULD BE.]

Of course! But it was such a difficult ability to learn, and being able to turn into an animal IS rather cool. I was just...hoping it would have a different outcome.

Alas.

[willwork4sugar]

[RIGHT?! That would be MINDBLOWING]

So...what do you turn into?

[dragonbadfaith]

[There's a lengthy pause, followed by a somewhat dramatic sigh.]

A ferret.

[willwork4sugar]

.....

Oh.

[dragonbadfaith]

It could be worse!! Right? [He just keeps telling himself this.] I could be a rat or a sloth or something!

I just...I had hoped to perhaps take after my namesake. Though to be honest, I've not heard of anyone who can turn into a dragon... But I could've been a falcon, able to fly whenever I pleased, or—or a panther, that would've been brilliant!

But no. A ferret.

[SIGHS AGAIN.]

If ever you need something shiny stolen, just let me know.

[willwork4sugar]

Well...that's true. But I guess being a ferret could have its uses- you can be sneaky at least.

Heh, I do my own thieving, but I'll keep that in mind.

[dragonbadfaith]

I could already be sneaky. Now I can be small and sneaky, I suppose. Well, no matter. I'll find something of use to do with such an animal. Maybe having a keen sense of smell will come in handy.

[willwork4sugar]

There you go. Animals do have sharper senses where we don't. And small is good in some cases.

[dragonbadfaith]

Yes... Alright, well anyway, I found a ship someone left behind and it seems to have a working Nav. I'll pop back on over now and probably invade the galley first thing.

[willwork4sugar]

Good to hear.

I'll start getting things ready for you, then.
