Hello, everyone! Or... hmm, should I introduce myself with an "Arrr, matey!" instead?

In any case, hello! My name is Aida Mana, and it seems I'm going to be here with all of you. I have to say, it's not what I expected, but I suppose I'll do my best to make the most of it! If there's anything I could do to help anyone out, just name it!

That said... I'm thinking I want to be one of those people who sets out on the ocean themselves. Figuring this sailing thing out can't be too hard, right? And there's no reason we sailors can't be looking out for each other even if we aren't all on the same ship!

If anyone would be willing to help me get started, just let me know! And if anyone wants to introduce themselves, feel free! I want to get to know as many people as possible!

It's nice to meet you too, Ludenberg-san!

... and ah, sure, what about?

[gambliar]

You may call me Celes if you so choose; I certainly won't mind.

As for the little chat, I just thought it would only be fair to warn you that going out on your own isn't such a good idea. People are building crews for a reason, you know. Someone has to steer the ship while you're sleeping, not to mention there's lots to do on board.

[abundantlove]

Well, I didn't mean alone alone. I meant I wanted to start my own crew... and maybe have one of my friends along as well.

And Celes-chan it is!

[gambliar]

I see! Well then, that makes much more sense. I wish you the best of luck in finding a crew, then. Although if lady luck does not happen to be on your side, you and your friend are more than welcome to join up with me.

[abundantlove]

Ah... do you have very many on your crew, Celes-chan?

[gambliar]

[...]

...one person besides myself. I have several others considering my proposition, but only one is a definite.

[She is so embarrassed. IS SHE NOT PLAYING NICE ENOUGH?]

[yet more conversations that sound dodgy out of context]

[abundantlove]

Well... it depends on what my friend says, but maybe... maybe we can all work together?

But. Um!

I would ask that we not engage in any piracy!

And that the two of us be allowed to have certain secrets! Without any prying!

[such is the life of a pirate...ish person]

[gambliar]

I make no promises in terms of piracy. I would rather not have to engage in such a barbaric activity, but if it means accomplishing my dream? I will do what is necessary.

As for the secrets...so long as they aren't any plans of mutiny, I see no problems with that.

[/makes it worse]

[abundantlove]

... I see. I don't... I don't think I can support that, then... but I'd like if we could at least be allies?

... and no, nothing like mutiny... it's more... something Rikka and I can only share with each other!

[oh dear god]

[gambliar]

[. . .]

I think I would be quite fine with that staying a secret.

[she's talking about them both being magical girls ftr]

[abundantlove]

That's good... I... I wish I could explain, but it would only complicate matters.

[Oh I know! Karen from Precure is...Celes' crew. Not really part of....]

[gambliar]

No, no; I would prefer it if you kept this to yourself. Such matters are private, after all.

[but srsly they're like one confession away from being actual girlfriends]

[abundantlove]

Good, good... Rikka is my close friend... I'd hate to make things difficult for her...

[gambliar]

...just a friend?

[Was...she mistaken this entire time? If so, she's going to feel so damn foolish.]

[abundantlove]

Not just a friend!

My absolute best friend! She supports me in everything! Without her, I'd be lost! Ha ha, people have even said she's like my dutiful wife sometimes!

[the point sails over Mana's head completely]

[gambliar]

[...]

...I see. And you're quite alright with people saying such things?

[abundantlove]

Huh? Why wouldn't I be?

[gambliar]

Nevermind. It's not important.

[abundantlove]

[Mana blinks several times on her end]

Well, okay.

But anyway, thanks for all your advice, Celes-chan!

[gambliar]

Not a problem. Do take care, now.
