piratejournal | 001 Written Introduction

I've heard a lot about this journal and how some of these things work, so I guess I will introduce myself. My name is Edward Elric, and like all of you, this isn't the world I'm from.

I have every intention of going home in a relatively short amount of time. I'm not interested in going on a pre-designed treasure hunt to do it though. I don't think we should be just doing whatever these people 'Scurvey Dog' and 'Davy Jones say we should do. I don't know anything about sailing yet, but I'm about to pick up as many books as I can. I'm going to get a ship of my own, because I don't really want to follow this little 'game'.

If this sounds agreeable to you and you want to sail with me, then by all means let me know. I'm sure my first mate Winry Rockbell and myself could use the help. You won't need to worry about food, Winry makes a really great apple pie.

Aside from that, I'm interested in hearing about these strange, other worlds. What can you tell me about where you come from?

Teach you how to deal with storms?

I'll figure it out. Or someone else will now, maybe.

Someone else, who?

Whoever else wants to sail with us!

[Oh, geeze.]

Oh, geeze!

What? I'll wing it if I have to.

You do remember you have a leg made of steel.

Yeah yeah. I'm not going to swim Winry, I'm just going to sail on a ship. Come on, it'll be fun!

Fun?

Well I mean, we have to find a way home, but we might as well have fun doing it.

I guess? [This doesn't sound like Ed.]

[He sighs softly.]

Okay, fine, it's going to be weird and we're going home as fast as I can manage it, okay?

[He was trying to make her feel better about everything, that's all.]

[Okay, that sounds a little more like Ed.]

Yeah...it is weird, isn't it?

[Determined, now.]

But we'll be okay! We're together, right?

We haven't been sailing before. You don't have to worry though. If I can learn it, I will.

I'll protect you.

No, we haven't, but...I guess I'd better learn how to do this, too! So you'd better let me see any books you find.

[Of course you will, Ed. She has no doubt about that.]

Thanks. And I'll take care of you, too.

I still hope other people join my crew though, it might be easier with more people. We have to think about what we need to go out at sea.

I could find that out! I know Granny said something about some sort of fruit that sailors always took on boats.

[Soft smile.] People will join...

Well if you meet anyone looking, tell them they can come. Anyone can come!

I will, Ed.
