Soooo, another world, huh?

Can't say I'm not totally new to the concept, but this is just a liiiiiittle different than what I'm used to. And by a little I mean a huge hecka lot.

Okay, so tell me if I got the gist right. We've been kidnapped and the only ay home is to collect magical shard things of a ruby and make a wish? 

Man, does that sound like something from one of my books. Still, should be fun. I think. Maybe.

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be fun.

[Oh woops, he's rambling.]

Ah, right, the name's Cross Blanchard, by the way! And yeah, thanks to all of you who came and helped save us back on that island! You guys are real heroes.

To the sailors of Davy Jones,

As of December the Eleventh, the government has withdrawn its forces. It pleases me to announce that Isla Empieza is now re-open to all, merchants and pirates alike. Backwater Brig is once again, open for business.

You have my sincerest apologies for being unavailable the past month. In light of recent events, and in an endeavor to keep further connected with you, our customers, we'll be opening a delivery service. During the third week of the month, a catalog will be sent out to all at sea, and Backwater Brig can be contacted via journal. Ordering is simple and easy; simply jot your request down and the total price will be negotiated. Afterwards, a carrier seagull will arrive at your location to receive payment; your delivery will be sent via seagull. It's as simple as that.

In honor of Davy Jones' sailors, who so valiantly pushed the Navy away, this month the delivery service will be opening early, starting now.

If you've any Christmas gifts to buy and don't expect to be on Isla Empieza for shopping, now is the perfect time to get your gift. Not to worry, dear patrons: all transactions are, and always will be, private.



*we at Backwater Brig cannot and do not claim to sell anti-curse apparel at this time.

[earlier today, you might have received a catalog via seagull, with the words BACKWATERS BUY in bold and. . . is that sparkle text? how did she manage sparkle text on a magazine? in any case, you'll find anything and everything there—there's no list of items because you'll be able to find literally everything, if you look around enough. it's designed like a normal shopping catalogue, with pretty pictures and lots of sparkle text designed just so, to catch your eye on things you or your crew is most likely to buy. miss margie's very good at what she does.]

[As of December 11th, the Navy is officially off the island! This post is open from December 13th to December 21st for on-journal purchasing! All transactions are private and cannot be seen by anyone but the customer and Margie.]
