[okay, so jaune was used to using his tablet in order to talk to other people and nothing like..... like this. he was able to figure it out after a long process, but he thinks he understands it now! still, he's a little confused.]

So... I take it that um... I'm nowhere near Vale anymore, am I? Uugghh.... I am so dead... what am I gonna tell my parents now?

[they won't approve of being a pirate!!]

How did I even get here....? I know I went to bed in my dorm room last night, there's no way I could sleepwalk this far!

[he would blame cardin, but he knows that guy wouldn't dare try anything like this with him. he was just so confused!]

Of course we could've handled ourselves!

[ Weiss's pride wasn't making that an annoying comment until Ruby pointed out that it was possible for it to be interpreted that way. Oops.

At least Weiss stops herself before it gets out of hand and tries to reign it back in .]

Still, I'm sure we all would've done better as a team.

[ And she crosses her arms, looking at Jaune and Ruby, since they're both out of her zone now. ]

[YEAH-.. they could have handled themselves. jaune? er, maybe. just a bit.

either way!]

Weiss is right, we're better off as a team. We might not have four people, or might not be with our actual team but... we gotta stick together.

[leader jaune arc at the front here.]

Ruby since you've been here a bit longer uh... what should we be ...doing here... exactly?

Ahhh, yeah about that...

[Ruby turns to the fountain, cocking her head to one side. She's thankful for the change of subject.]

Haven't really had a whole lot to do but read. So I've been reading back to what's gone on before we showed up. According to something written in the fountain here, we're supposed to search for these... shard things. Get them, and we're supposed to be able to wish our way back home. Or... something like that? That's the impression I've gotten, at least.

[She glances back at them.]

There's a whole lotta ships out there, and it's not just us who've gotten yanked in from other worlds.

That's what the fountain said and what people have been telling me, but that ruby's obviously not how we got here so there has to be another way back.

[ Weiss's main concern is that even if it's not a myth they're chasing after, chances of that ruby granting everyone's wishes isn't high. ]

I don't want to be a pirate, so I thought about trying to set up a privateer contract with the Navy but I was cautioned against that too. What do you two think?

Whoa whoa, approaching the Navy for a deal?!

[jaune's voice might have cracked at that suggestion as well.]

Yeah uh, I don't think that's a good idea. Basically I think we should.... get a ship and look for those uh. Things.

[he looked over at ruby.] Don't make fun of me if I get sick on a ship though.

Yeah, and did we miss the part where they were trying to kill me, and everyone else that showed up here when I did? They don't seem to wanna really talk with any of us.

Really, if anything, they kinda come down on any "outsiders" no matter what they're doing. Dooooooooooon't think that's gonna be working.

[She pauses, and blinks at Jaune.]

Really. Air sick AND sea sick?

That's why I was thinking we should be on their side. They're the ones in charge and not breaking the law. I don't want to be a pirate.

[ She supposes though.. ] If you really think they're that against even a parley, it doesn't look like we have a choice.

[ As for Jaune though, Weiss is just going to go ahead and take a step back. ] If you get one drop of vomit on deck I'm not speaking to you for a week!

...I'm still with Ruby on this one.

[it just seems right.] Weiss, we can have a boat and not be pirates. I'm not exactly the kind of guy that's all for... for stealing and killing. Yeah.

[GUYS?!] I'm motion sick no everything! I'll just throw up over the edge, no big deal!

And not everyone out here is for that! There's even people who want to go around protecting others instead of doing the whole pirate thing.

There's nothing to stop us from doing something like that AND searching for these stupid jewels, right?

[Slight pause, and then a long look at Jaune.]

And if you don't, just... make sure to have a mop handy. You realize we're gonna be spending a LOT of time on the water, right?

Not according to the local authorities. It was just a suggestion.

Why don't we ask around to find out if there's a place that sells medicine? If we're all going to be sleeping in the same area, I don't want to be next to vomit boy. [ She thumbs at Jaune to indicate that's him if he starts doing it and she will be calling him that until he stops. ]

[...jeez guys...

jaune clears his throat, trying to get this conversation back on track.]

Guys, bottom line is that we apparently gotta go looking for jewels, right? So we need a boat, and they gave us enough money to do that.

I think. I think this is enough... maybe. But the sooner we can find these things the sooner we can leave.
