[voice - action for Spades]

*At first, all that is heard over the journal is this rather gorgeous tune being played on an acoustic guitar...

Selphie considers just leaving it at that. But...perhaps she's a little lonely; she wants to talk, and she'll happily talk to everyone and anyone*

I miss home.

I haven't missed home in a long time. Not like this... Does anyone else?

I miss my friends, I miss chocobos, and I miss flying the airship! I miss the canteen hot dogs, and I miss feeling like I actually belonged somewhere...

If there was an island I could race chocobos and fly airships - that would be awesome!~

What do you miss about home, pirates? What would you bring here if you could?

*Spades, feel free to throw some rum at her before she gets too thoughtful!*

My brothers. But I guess that's obvious huh? [Slides an arm around her and hands her a bottle of rum, yup.]

Mhm.

*Selphie takes the bottle and has a swig of rum, and leans into Marco*

At least you still have some here!

Hm. I had some nice weapon making equipment there that I haven't been able to reproduce here...cuz it kinda requires not living on a ship.

As for people...only one guy I miss. He was a friend if mine...[well sorta his only friend at the time]

But he went missing. I don't even know if he's alive anymore.

You always seem pretty happy with this place whenever we talk about it. At least, you never seem in too much of a hurry about it.

*She sounded as though she was smiling softly at the thought*

Yeah, that friend was cool but he's not enough of a reason for me to want to go home. I'd still stay here with Faye for as long as I can.

What if Faye went home? Would you still want to stay? Would you miss home more?

People, mostly. Shoulda figured out by now we're pretty chill with wherever the hell we wind up so long as we got our peeps 'round t' hang with.

Thinkin' y' wanna go back home now Ikki's gone?

Hmm, but that's just it, having 'peeps around'. The crew is getting smaller all the time.

It's not just Ikki...it's everyone disappearing...not coming back. What if there's just me left? I wake up and everyone's gone? At least back home I'd know that people were still where I left them...

Seems more an' more likely y'll be gettin' that wish then, don't it? But people never stay where y' leave 'em. People die or move on. 'S jus' the way a shit.

Not without saying goodbye they don't.

Maybe it's not a big deal for you - your best friends are here, and your best friends will be back home when you go. You'll still have Marco, and Thatch...

*She sighs and puffs out her breath loudly*

But you're right. That's life. I'll just deal with it.

That'd majorly suck and I'd do everything I could to get to her world...which would probably mean staying here. Even if all the outworlders were gone, the locals here are nicer than where I came from. Prolly cuz they're used to us weirdos, hah

Aye, but you know...

[Hugs her close.] You've got us too, eh? Want to race me against something?

*At that she smiled and sounded happier*

She's really lucky to have you. I hope you get to keep each other.

I've got you, and the others too. For now. And as long as you're here then I'm really glad.

*She snuggles into him happily and tilts her head*

Huh? A race?

You'll have me, period. I haven't left yet, eh? And after this I'll either find out how to get you home or take you with me and Thatch and the others. That's my job as captain, Sunshine.

[Kisses her head.]

Mm-hm. Any kind you want. You name it.

'S a bigass deal t' me, Sel, but y' got the big flow right. Jus'. Can't sit thinkin' 'bout it all the time or it'll drag y' backward an' flood yer gills the wrong way. The hell's anybody gonna be able t' say t' make y' feel better, anyway?

It would be awesome if I could go home and see my friends and then visit you in your world. Maybe I could get an airship or a spaceship to take me! Until then I still have all my duties as second mate!

*But she paused and frowned, because there wasn't a first mate anymore*

Hmm...Really? Any kind? What's the prize?

*There's a pause as she shifts and breathes uncomfortably, because she doesn't really have an answer for that question*

Urgh, I'm just being a big moany face. So many people leaving and... I've just never liked being left alone. That's all.

...would it help if I played a happier song this time?

[Namur chuckles a little.]

If y' wanna. Or I can play y' some on the boombox if y' wanna head over t' my dorm.

Okay! I'll be there in a sec!

*And sure enough it wasn't long before she appeared, holding the neck of her guitar in one hand*

Hi! I brought my guitar with me anyway. Ya know, in case your boombox isn't depressing enough.

*She hoped he'd fixed the old one she'd smashed when she was angry at him before, or that he'd bought a new one*

[He had bought a new one the next time they'd gone to Deesuko Ballia- or acquired one through other means. The point is, yes, it's new. Ish.]

[Thing is, he hadn't been actually in his room when he messaged her, but showed up a couple seconds after she did. They're two hands short to properly sail the ship after all, three if you exclude the Heron Princess. But it's fine to take a break, so long as the weather holds. He gets a devilish grin on his face seeing her in the doorway, does his best to sneak up silently, and gooses her sides.]

*So Selphie had spoken excitedly to...an empty room. She blinked, confused. Namur had definitely said to meet her here...*

He-ey!

*She yelps and jumps when he gooses her sides and swings round to face him, her guitar making a horrible clanging noise*

You meanie!
*But at least she was smiling*

Hell yeah girl I'm the meanest shit y' ever met.

[He chuckles, dropping his hand on her waist and ushering her into the room further.]

Boombox ain't depressin' though. 'S a tool a awesome badassery an' don't y' forget it. Sheheheh!

[Namur pops in a disc with upbeat electronic music and slings himself into his hammock. He'd offer a dance, but the room simply isn't big enough. Instead, he reaches across and takes her free hand, pulling her close, physically encouraging her to hop up and join him.]

*Selphie rolls her eyes at his comment, smirking a little as she considers how very unmean he really is*

Awesome badassery, huh? I won't forget that in a hurry.

*She watches as he moves into his hammock, eyes widening as he takes her hand and pulls her closer. Still holding her guitar in her other hand, Selphie does her best to casually sit on the edge of the hammock. Only, she seems to be having some difficulty in sitting on it properly at all*

Eh - stupid hammocks.

Works a lot better if y' ain't swingin' the guitar 'round. Jus' sayin'.

[TO HIS CREDIT he is not laughing at her. Namur takes the guitar and sets it against the wall within easy reach, then leans forward to help her up into the hammock before leaning back into it again, one leg stretched out behind her for stability.]

Better?
