"If you're cursed and the sun rises, don't"... don't what? Can't really hold it against him under the circumstances, but I'd be a lot happier if he'd finished his sentence.

Things just keep getting better, don't they?

But anyway, I've got a couple questions.

One. Three members of our crew have disappeared on Isla Empieza since we got into port a couple weeks ago. If anyone has answers, I want to know. If you've seen Garrus Vakarian (trust me, you can't miss him, he's a six-foot-something spiky alien), Flynn Rider or a man called Tulio, I really want to know.
Has something like this happened to anyone else here, or can we just not catch a break?

Two. I don't think there's enough of us left to sail the Normandy and really? That was a bad idea in the first place. I'm looking to sign on with a new crew, if anyone has the space.
I'll be honest, the whole sailing thing is still new to me. I'm used to starships. But I'm willing to work, and you want me on your side in a fight.

Hope you're all okay out there.

[As much as the curse concerns him, he's pretty sure if Dog had gotten scared then likely this one was unavoidable. On to the next question then.]

I can't say much for your shipmates, but I don't think you're the only one to have friends go missing lately. I hope you find them soon though, or they may not be coming back.

Don't have to tell me. This island isn't that big. We shouldn't be able to just lose a guy, especially not Garrus, but he's been missing since the day we got in.

[It's frustrating and more than a little frightening, though her writing doesn't really convey either.]

[It seems like the slower method to him, but if she'd rather write, he'll write as well.]

Exactly. And given how we were brought into this world, it may be just as easy to be taken out of it. I don't think they go home though, and that is reason enough to worry.

If you don't find them, my crew and I are still in port right now at Isla Empieza. I would have to ask my shipmates, but you would be welcome to join us. It should be safer than your last crew as we have two experienced sailors on board.

[She just felt like sticking with the format she started in.]

Two? Damn, count me in. I've got nothing against them, but no one on this ship has a clue what they're doing.

[Well that was a hearty response. Although he's almost not surprised as he vaguely remembered now hearing something about their ship wreck. That was "Ash", wasn't it?]

Yes, and we're traveling on the Alcyone. Perhaps you've seen our captain around on the journals, his name is Piers.

I haven't talked to him, but that sounds familiar.

[She's definitely seen the name of captain or ship by now, browsing the journal.]

I haven't seen anyone by those names around, but we have room on our ship for people, if they want. We're not going after the shards though, so that's something to consider.

Yeah, I remember you saying that.

[ooc: already made arrangements for her to join up with the Alcyone. c: Is it okay if we say this thread happens after she gets an offer from them?]

So far it's been fine, but we haven't found anything yet.

((OOC: Of course. :) ))

So you're about even with the rest of us. Anyway, thanks for the offer, but I've already worked something out.

Like I said, I'll keep you up to date. No problem, anytime.

Thanks. I'll let you know if I find anything useful, too.

I've heard of an occasional missing person, but never so many in one crew.

[There is a pause before he continues.]

We lost someone a while ago as well. It was during the storm so I assumed he was washed overboard, but now I'm not so certain.
