[written] Where Do People Go?

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?

-Aya

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!

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.]

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?

[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?

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.]

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*

[Well, that would be a bit easier. The next reply is another ten minutes later.]

I just started along the coastline. The road is a lot smoother, so we're going a lot faster than through the forest.

[That's not cool, Selphie. Wow.]

Alright! I'll see ya when I see ya!

*So Selphie gets herself off the ship and back on land, heading along the road that she assumed he was talking about. She runs some of the way, and walks some of it too, alternating until she came across him - that is, if she hadn't just gone and got herself completely lost*

[They were making good time, but there wasn't sign of Selphie after about fifteen minutes. It's a straight shot, so even he should have spotted her by now. So he checks up on her.]

Where are you?

Uhm... I don't actually know. I'm along the coast road somewhere...

*Uh oh... Thank goodness she actually remembered to bring her journal along with her. And so she starts to sketch a really crap picture of her surroundings, to see if Aya recognises it*

I think you took a wrong turn... [How he doesn't know...] Go back the way you came.

!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!!!

*That's all she writes before turning to sprint off in the other direction, hoping to catch up with him soon*

[He...didn't get to read the message, and just waited for when she would pop up. Waited as in continued to walk along the coastline.]

[With his luck, she may literally run into him.]

*This is something that is actually about to happen. She is so focused on running and being able to catch up that she isn't actually paying any attention to where she is going at all. And yes, Aya, that means headlong straight into you*

[He hears rustling among the foliage and stops the horse and car, staring hard enough to try and see what would jump out.]

[He really didn't expect to actually run into her, though.]

[Not wanting to startle the horse too much, Aya steps forward, taking the brunt of all that is Selphie, and stumbles to the ground.]

*Selphie realises that she's going to cause an accident when it's a moment too late. Thankfully, she didn't even have the time to scream and frighten the horse.

The impact of running into Aya sent her straight to the ground in a tangle of arms and legs. When she finally pulls herself to sit back up, she holds a hand to her head and a hand to her knee, which is only slightly graze, but was twisted in the fall*

Owie... That was a sore one!

[Having braced himself for the impact, Aya isn't too injured. He manages to sit up on an elbow, looking to Selphie.]

Are you injured? [He won't move until he knows whether or not he should.]

*Blinking hard, Selphie slowly smiles at Aya, as though only just realising that he's there. She rubs at her temple then examines her hand - there's no blood, so that's a good thing. When she tries to lift her left leg, though, she hisses slightly*

I think I've twisted my knee...

[He notices the jerk movement, and goes to disengage his legs from hers before inspecting her knees. One is definitely redder, and possible getting swollen. She won't be able to walk like this.]

You'll need ice on it, or at least something cold. [Aya then looks to Selphie a bit solemnly.] You'll also have to stay off it.

*When she leans forward to have a look at her knee herself, her very nearly bashes against Aya's. But she realises, and it doesn't happen - hopefully he didn't notice that*

Urgh. This sucks.

*She tries flexing it, just in case, but nope, still rather painful*

Put your arms around my neck. [While she does that, he'll slip his arm under her knee carefully while the other supported her back.]

*It takes a moment before she does so, because this is just way too embarrassing. She's not supposed to be lying around like this. Selphie bites her lip, careful not to let it show that it hurts*

..thanks.

[He didn't notice how close her head was last time, but he does notice that even this movement hurts. If he hadn't invited her out here, she would have been alright...]

You don't need to thank me.

[Carefully, Aya sets her on the back of the horse, because sitting behind the horse while riding in the cart would be unpleasant.]

Lets get you back and see if we can keep the swelling down. [He'll keep close to her to make sure she doesn't fall off, as there isn't a saddle. Taking the reins, Aya gently tugs the horse forward so they could start their journey back.]
