002 - Voice (Action for crewmates)

[ 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. ]

Well enough. We've had some people disappear here, but I suppose I didn't really have time to get attached to them. [Liar.] It's been a while since anyone chased us out with pitchforks, and other than the attack on the island nobody has been shooting at me, so I suppose that's good.

What about you? Everything all right on your end?

It's the same story here. Someone I knew disappeared, but I'm sure she'll be safer there. Besides, she was needed back home.

[ Yes, it's not like her friend's disappearance was the entire reason why Homura dropped off the radar for a few weeks or anything like that. ]

You were there for the Navy blockade at the Isle?

I felt my skills were well-suited to it. That, and I didn't want to risk one of my friends being caught there alone.

That's an admirable sentiment.

Still... we'll have to be more careful in the future. Without the Isle, it will be much harder to survive in the long run.

Hopefully certain people have learned their lesson about setting towns on fire. Honestly...

I'm still unclear on the reasons behind that whole... incident. How much do you know about it?

[ The way she phrases that last word makes it VERY clear that she really means something closer to "absolutely idiotic thing that happened for no good reason as far as she knows." ]

I'm not entirely clear on it, either. Apparently somebody felt the need to set one of the islands on fire. And then somebody, who may or may not have been the same person, felt the need to set another island on fire. The second island was Isla Empieza.

This person can't be allowed to go free. If he can't see that we all need Isla Empieza in order to survive...

He may have been new. I'm sure you remember the confusion from when we first arrived.

Perhaps.

But if he sets even one more island on fire, I will personally hunt him down.

Not if I find him first.

...

Should the time come, it would be more efficient if we worked together on this matter. Truce?

"Alliance" seems more appropriate.

...unless you've been working against me all this time and I didn't know it.

Sure. We can go with that.

... I can assure you, that would be news to me as well.

Good. All evidence suggests we're in the same boat, after all. ...er, metaphorically speaking.

That's settled, then.

[ It's the same calm deadpan she always uses, but there might be a hint of amusement there. Somewhere. ]

I'm glad to hear you're doing well, at least. Stay safe.

You, too. Let me know if you need anything.

[ She needs Madoka returned to her, preferably gift-wrapped and placed on their bed, buuuuut ]

Same to you.
