[written] Where Do People Go?

[booyaka_boom]

Hello Pirates!

Today... I tried to write to a friend I haven't heard from in a few days. I can't seem to get in touch with him.

His name is Descry. Is he on anyone's crew?

I don't understand. I mean, either these journals can malfunction, or else he's somehow disappeared...

Uhm, so, any info would be great. Thanks!

Have a good day everyone! Peace out!

~ Selphie

[He's still fetching water barrels, but in the process of pulling it all with the help of a horse and cart. From time to time, Aya checks the journal and sees her entry. His replies may be spaced out, since he has to stop to write.]

The only ones who have a journal are those like us, so if he isn't here, then neither would his journal.

But maybe he's sick, or something?

But surely... he didn't figure out how to go home? He would've told everyone else, wouldn't he?

And at least he would have said goodbye.

But yeah! Maybe he's sick! I bet his crew are looking after him just fine!

[formerabyssinian]

If he's that sort of person, he might have. I've never heard of him.

Has anyone said something yet? [Don't mind his handwriting getting a bit more rushed than usual.]

[written]

[booyaka_boom]

Well, he was a very clever and sensible person, so...

*But even then, of course Selphie had only known him for little over a month*

I haven't heard anything yet.

*In her hammock, Selphie raises a brow at Aya's handwriting*

What are you doing?

[written]

[formerabyssinian]

[The next response comes another ten minutes later.]

Then let me know how that goes.

I'm getting water barrels for the ship stock. I'm about halfway back.

*During which time Selphie has been looking through her journal to see if Descry's name has come up anywhere*

I will!

*Selphie smiles at her journal - it is so nice of him to bother to reply when he's so busy, after all*

You need any help?

[written]

[formerabyssinian]

Only if you want. [He didn't want to seem like he couldn't pull his weight on the crew, but some company would be nice.]

[written]

[booyaka_boom]

Okay! Where are you? I'll come find you.

*Though Selphie might still choose to tease him about this later, if she feels like it*

[Voice]

[shark_face]

He's not on mine.

[If his voice sounds a bit strained, his breaths a little too loud - well, he's exercising.]

[Voice]

[booyaka_boom]

Uhm.. Okay.. Thanks anyway...

*She's trying to be polite but she's not really sure what he's up to...*

[Voice]

[shark_face]

[Seeing him really wouldn't be much better - but then, sounds do tickle the imagination, don't they?]

Whose crew was he... on? [Huff puff.] They should know... right?

[Voice]

[booyaka_boom]

Well, that's part of the problem - I just don't know who he was sailing with.

*Selphie clears her throat - she's blushing slightly now*

Uhm, maybe we should talk later...when you're less...busy?

[Voice]

[shark_face]

Nah... I'm just about... done.

[And he's silent for a moment, catching his breath.]

No offense, but if he was keeping secrets like that, are you sure he was your friend?

[Voice]

[booyaka_boom]

*Oh dear, now she's quite red, and really unsure of what to say next. Though she might stammer at first, Selphie seems pretty certain*

W-well...you see... It just didn't come up. That's all. It wasn't a secret. We just never spoke about it.

[Voice]

[shark_face]

Well, if he doesn't want to be found, he doesn't want to be found.

[Or he's dead. Since that lovely Scurvey Dog entry, Rin is taking things a little more seriously. But that doesn't mean he'd bring it up with her.

A last deep breath as he stretches his back and neck a bit, and then he relaxes with a sigh.]

He probably has his reasons.

What do they look like?

written

[booyaka_boom]

Uhm...well...you see.. We never actually met. We just talked a lot over the journal.

*And she realises how silly that sounds*

written

[hiken]

Oh. Was he good at talking back to you?

I mean, aside from now.

written

[booyaka_boom]

Uh huh he was. Writing was kinda his job though.

We were gonna try writing poems too! But not now.

[There's a sigh to start with. Looks like he's going to be the one to have to break it to her. Descry had never mentioned befriending anyone else here but who else had a weird name like that?]

He was on the Larrikin Deuce, last I saw him... but he's gone now.

[There wasn't much to be said about it. First the captain disappeared, then Descry]

They hadn't used the Nav to leave.. [Or Elissa couldn't have used it for her roundtrip visit] .. and there's no indication that anything nefarious happened to them. They just disappeared. I'm sure that he's no longer here though....

Maybe he's back where he belongs.

[Voice]

[booyaka_boom]

Oh... Thank you for your information.

*Selphie sighs a little too, just trying to make sense of it. But at least it didn't seem like anything bad had happened*

Wait - you sais they. Did someone else leave too?

[Voice]

[just_a_minute]

Don't mention it.

[Thinking the conversation was over, he drew the journal away from himself. Then she added an additional question.]

Yeah our captain, Skullduggery. The two of them knew each other from before they arrived here, so wherever they went.. they're probably together.

[Voice]

[booyaka_boom]

Yeah... They were best friends. He talked about Skullduggery a few times. Well, that makes me feel much better. So long as they're both together and not alone.

*And really, she does sound much soothed by this knowledge*

Thanks so much for your help!

[Voice]

[just_a_minute]

[She handled the news pretty well.]

Mm, they're together. [Wherever they are]

No problem.

[Voice]

[booyaka_boom]

*Well, she tries to*

That's the most important thing, I think.

Oh - uh - what are you guys doing for a captain now?
