 [there was a sound like the journal being flung open suddenly]

hello?! Faye? Dave and Grell? What happened....

[he was freaked out for a second, trying to recall what happened and why he was laying alone on a beach and feeling like he was or had been in danger. Then it all came back]

Oh yeah. Um guys, it's Thash...

Comments

[crankyshark]

[yeah, he was probably exaggerating a little. He'd need water to rehydrate his shark skin after a few days in addition to drinking water, but for that he could just jump into a pool on the island or something]

Heheh, yeah, that'd be great

[hollywood_bro]

If you want a bath you can take one later.

[Because Dave knows that Thash's skin needs water as much as his mouth. It's a shark thing, right? And it's not like he can take a dip in the poisonous water.]

Man, Jones must really have it out for you.

[crankyshark]

Yeah, I'll need something like that by the time you guys get here for sure...

[he was quiet a moment]

Seems like it, huh. But I almost wonder if I brought his wrath or karma down on me or something.

[hollywood_bro]

Nah. I don't think it works like that. I mean, I don't know what you think you did to deserve this, but karma isn't like an eye for an eye. It isn't just about what you do, but why you do it. Like, what are your motivations?

[Dave doesn't want to believe Thash did anyhting bad enough to deserve this. He can't picture it. He knows his friend was more violent in the past, but even then it was only to protect himself, right?]

Jones doesn't need any rhyme or reason to fuck with people though. He just does it.

[crankyshark]

My motivations are...usually pretty good, I mean recently anyway... But I've killed a lot of people by biting them in the neck. It seems like more than just coincidence that I happened to die that way myself...

And then this water crap. Jones definitely put me here to dehydrate me, the jerk...

[hollywood_bro]

Yeah, that's way too similar to be a coincidence. Sorry dude. We'll get there are soon as we can.

[crankyshark]

Alright, thanks. See you soon...
