{004} - [Voice / Action for Triton's Mistress]

[chasing_waterfalls]

Our crew's gotten so tiny. I wonder if there has to be a set number for a crew to be called a crew...

Hopefully everyone's okay and back home. I miss them, but I know lots of others here have people they miss, either from home or from meeting here.

[He sighs quietly.]

Um. I hope everyone's been all right, otherwise.

...maybe I'll do some baking to get my mind off of things.


Oh! Miss Cat, did you get your book back?

[talesofcat]

I did. Thank you for asking.

The condition I received it in is... interesting... to say to the least, but at least I have it now.

[chasing_waterfalls]

Interesting..?

Well, I'm glad to hear it was returned to you.

[voice]

[hollywood_bro]

There isn't a set number.

I mean, you can buy yourself a boat and call yourself a Captain for all anyone cares, but you won't get very far unless you can find people to join your crew.

[chasing_waterfalls]

Oh, I see...

Well, we did have a good number of people, and our ship is fairly large. But now it's only the captain and two, counting me.

[hollywood_bro]

Yeah, that's still pretty good. I mean, better than a lone guy in a boat anyway.

A lot of the crews have been dwindling lately, it's kinda sad.

[chasing_waterfalls]

H-heh, that's true.

...it is. I wonder why that is.

[hollywood_bro]

Dunno. Maybe Davy Jones is gettin' tired of the same old games? Or maybe he's not as strong as he used to be. You'd think that summoning up a bunch of people would wear him out after awhile.

[chasing_waterfalls]

Maybe it's something to do with what happened back at the island?

[hollywood_bro]

Not sure what you're talkin' about. You're gonna have to fill me in.

[chasing_waterfalls]

Ah, well not too long ago someone called the Corpse King was attempting to revive Davy Jones... Several crews went to stop him, and the rest of us went to destroy the altars that were going to be used for the ritual.

[hollywood_bro]

Oh, right. My shipmates said something about that. See, I just got back, so I was gone for that whole thing. But he's dead now, right? So that shouldn't be a problem anymore.

[chasing_waterfalls]

...but wasn't he dead already?

[hollywood_bro]

Man, you're askin' the wrong dude. How am I supposed to know?

I mean, I guess if he's a corpse then he was dead, and then he was undead, but now he's been defeated so I guess he's dead again? How does killing corpses even work?

[chasing_waterfalls]

I don't know! I've never met any corpses before!!

[redcinemareel]

[SIGHS]

Just because his name was Corpse King did not mean he was, himself, a corpse.

[originaldragoon]

It seems like several people have left. There are a few gone from our crew as well.

[chasing_waterfalls]

Really? I wonder if it's because we made Davy Jones mad...

[originaldragoon]

Who knows, and it is not like we can just go up to him and ask.

[chasing_waterfalls]

Mn, I don't think that's an option...

[arcadiasailor]

We"ll make due but we might need a smaller ship. [ Harlock's does wonder how many of their current canons will fit on a sailboat. ]

[chasing_waterfalls]

It would probably be better if we got something more manageable.

[The current ship they have is pretty big for two people...not to mention lonely.]

[arcadiasailor]

Yeah I'd rather not crash another ship. [ The first Death Shadow's engines had been flawed. It was still sitting those few miles outside that town on Heavy Meldar.] Though at the rate we're going it's take a while before we reach Cat's island.

[chasing_waterfalls]

Another..?

Well...at least we're not in any hurry? But I guess there's no faster way to get to where we're going. -although...

I think I can at least help push us along a little, but it would be easier with a smaller ship.

[arcadiasailor]

The first DeathShadow's engines would cut out at the worst times. [ His friend had been 14 when he'd designed and built them.]

[chasing_waterfalls]

Oh... Um. What's an engine?
