So... my crew sent me on a scouting mission and it seems like I missed a fair bit.

Anything particularly bad happen? No one got hurt while everyone was turned into kids, did they?

[is that concern in Luka's voice? It may very well be... not that she'll admit it]

So. Uh.

Any advice for someone whose closest friend in this place got sent back?

Oh, hey, the Navy are after us again. I was wondering when they'd pop up. I guess there's nothing we can do to inform 'em we saved their butts from the witch, huh?

Anyway, maybe I can actually get a decent bounty on my head this time. I kind of miss not having a price on my head.

So, we got the Navy coming after us. Great. Not the biggest of thrills in my life, but in this world, what can we expect?

I guess that leads to the big question: run or fight? I hate the idea of shedding blood, but at the same time, these guys are gonna be relentless, if Scurvy's warnings are of any indication...

...starting to miss the simpler black-and-whiteness of back home now.

So, I figured I'd best introduce myself. My name's Luka Milfy, and if you've seen a smug smart ass named Captain Marvelous around, I'm from the same crew he is.

Just figured I'd take stock of things. Anyone out there have any interesting stories to tell? Got something really valuable that might make an interesting conversation?

[she laughs]

Yeah, I know. Really obvious, right? But you can't blame a girl for trying.

By the way, did anyone lose a coinpurse? The money's gone, but I found some personal effects in it that I don't feel right keeping.

((OOC: First come first serve on the wallet if you want her to have taken it from you offscreen. She's on Impieza so you'd have to be there. Also, what would be inside said wallet?))

EDIT: ((OOC: A "victim" has been worked out.))

[Behold, the most immaculate and flourished handwriting.]

Well met, fellow travelers! My name is Yotsuba Alice, and it is a pleasure to meet you.

I have only arrived recently, but I see there are several fascinating and potentially dangerous things out there in this world. While worrying, I also find it a bit intriguing. I saw mention of "dragons" sighted by one ship I'm the past several days, by chance has there been any other curious discoveries out there?

I would also like to extend my thanks to any that may have helped my dear friends, Aida Mana and Hishikawa Rikka, in the time before my arrival. It is most appreciated, and I too would like to make the acquaintance of anyone they might have.

With that, I leave you with my esteemed hope that if nothing else, all efforts being put forth can uncover the depths of our journey's meaning, or at least make some fascinating new discoveries!

~Alice
