[ Weiss has been keeping to herself for a few days, really only having spoken with Ruby and Jaune so far.. but this situation has come to a climax. She can't take it anymore. She has to do something! Even if it means acknowledging the other people who may or may not actually be pirates. ]

I'm going to ask you all a question and one of you had better have an answer! Is there anywhere in this place to sleep that isn't full of smelly drunkards? Maybe a place with an ice machine that looks a little more like it's got zero chance of bugs.

[ Weiss's tone is dead serious. She has absolutely no tolerance for this quality of rooming. Bunk beds, dorm rooms? Fine. They're clean, warm, and more than comfortable at the top school for huntresses and hunters. They definitely aren't situated over a noisy bar. The other option was to actually get a ship and she wasn't going to deal with a tiny little dinghy-- that would probably be worse than the room. ]

I know my standards can be a little high sometimes... but there is absolutely no way I'm staying in a place that's not even fit for animals for one more night. [ The last three words are punctuated to emphasize her point. ]

What sort of group might that be?

A rather mixed bunch, but we seem to be good natured for the most part. There are a lot of children aboard as well....

Children? They count children as pirates too?

They count all on a ship from what I hear... and all who seek the shard that supposedly will lead us to our freedom.

If we're trying to get out of here, shouldn't they want us to find those shards?

I would assume so, but so many details are lacking that I can not say what their reasonings are. It could be due to the individual who seems to be assisting us with tips and information, it could be something else. Either way there are few inicial options.

The individual.. Do you mean that Scurvy Dog character? What would they have to do with how the Navy treats us?

That individual is quite likely related to those who identify as pirates in this world, I know not the details, but such things may lead to our difficulties with that of the navy.

They're awfully prepared to help out us incoming people in such a short period of time.

[ She heard from someone else that this has only been happening since September. ]

Which is something to consider when pondering their motives. But That is a mystery to be solved along the way.

I suppose so. That might explain why no one who lives here has exactly been friendly if they had something to do with bringing us here, though.

I assume most the general public find us rather frightening as well.

How do they tell us apart from them if we just get clothing from their time period?

[ Well, a cloak. She's planning a cloak. She doesn't want to wear dirty clothes. ]

I am unsure.... Perhaps we stand out as we do not know their culture?

Isn't there anyone here who knows about their culture enough to figure this out?

I am not quite sure, I have spent most of my time here at sea and unpopulated islands.

Are most of the islands unpopulated?

I can not say if most are, simply that we have come across quite a few. Those that have not been I have not had much time to interact with the local populous.

Your trips must be really eventful.

There was an island populated by giant lizards? That was actually quite an event.

Only by giant lizards?

[ Giant lizards she can understand. That seems normal. For it to only be giant lizards would be a little weirder. ]

There were some regular animals as well, though we primarily focused on the lizards.

Were they hostile?

The liards? Some of them. But no more than one would expect of such a creature.

So just like regular animals instead of bent-on-destroying-humanity animals?

[ Not Grimm then. Well that's sort of a relief. Not that she was worried but it kind of sticks with you when your entire planet is split into only 4 kingdoms because the rest of it is inhabited by humanity-murdering monsters. ]
