002 - Voice (Action for crewmates)

[infinitime_loop]

[ It's hard to write when your fingers are freezing. After a few unsuccessful tries, Homura opts to go for a voice entry instead, keeping her teeth from chattering through sheer force of will alone. ]

This explains why the Backwater Brig's advertisement last week contained a disclaimer about anti-curse apparel. Perhaps the shopkeeper knew this unnatural cold, or something like it, was coming.

Has anyone found a way to warm up yet? The usual methods aren't working. Any information would be appreciated.

[ That's the extent of Homura's entry. Her crewmates won't find her in her usual spot in the crow's nest; instead, she's holed up in her room, cocooned in her blankets with only her face showing... for all the good that it does her. ]

I suppose. It would help a great deal if we knew the reason for these curses.

It's all very manga-like. A variety of "heroes,"pulled from different worlds to a place they don't understand to collect a magical jewel while facing dangers and spells.

By that, the curses may be punishment for coming from some angry local power or the affect of our presence on a delicate world. Or simply natural states of the seasons here.

You make it all sound so neat and tidy when you put it like that. Too bad reality is nothing like what's shown in manga.

[ If it was, being a magical girl would be a lot nicer back where she came from. ]

We're in a world that operates on rules we don't know. I wouldn't rule anything out, and I've been here for quite some time.

Perhaps. But very few of us qualify as "heroes," even with the quotation marks.

That would greatly depend on the manga and its intended audience, wouldn't it?

[His best friend is big on archetypes, and they have an otaku for a "manager." Thinking in these terms has become something like second nature.]

I wouldn't know. It has been a long time since I read anything of the sort.
