The other day, an octopus gave us something while we were sailing. It sort of looks like this:



But smaller.

Is this something important?

*...It's red, now.

I don't know what kind of sick joke this is, but it ends here.

[Scared? Who's scared? Certainly not Rin. He's pissed off, and that's the most you'll get out of him. Even if it is kind of creepy, watching the words he speaks appear in the journal.]

You've had your laugh. Tell your friends all about your lame prank. I bet you're really proud. But I'm going back, now.

Can't believe I'm talking to a -...

[Dammit, it wasn't supposed to record that as well. There's an audible tch before he snaps the journal shut.]

Dunno why I put up with ye bastards. Really I don't. Dog has a bluster of a cold this week so no lip or I'll send you to Davy Jones meownself. Bedamned allergies. Give me an island w'out ragweed and I'll gi' ye treasure higher than your grandmother.

Weather

Bedamned if I know. Can't see a thing with this cold, so full of snot I am. Sneezed out a goober as big as me arm, and there's truth to that. Had heard tales of a swarm 'o man eatin ladybirds comin' in from th' Eastern seas but that's likely a rumor. Ugh, me achin' head.

News

Navy is pissed. Yuezhong is up in arms. Zombies in Port Chance where there warn't zombies afore. Tis either Davy Jones or ye brats, and if he's stirrin' it's in a different way. Ye'll pay for it in one way or th' other. If he don't see to that, I will.

Good spot 'o news, Tardle Island be appearin' in the South West startin the week o' the 13th and'll be afloat 'til 'bout Wednesday 'o that week. If anyone be knowin' where a shard may be, it be them. But good luck gettin' it out o them.

More seamonsters be spotted. Kraken ate two of Silverleg's fleet and he only got three ships. Damn beasties.


Now it be time fer questions. Shepherd crew is banned due to the insufferable brat. Flynn Rider be off the hook fer now. I have limited patience so watch yerselves or suffer the consequences.

[and not too long later]

Shepherd Crew be banned til March at the earliest and are lookin' fer a life ban, much like Ganandorf has since he's obviously too good fer the likes 'o me.

Makoto, Rei: we are getting a boat. You can choose the name: between Mackerel, Halibut and Salmon, which do you like best?

Do we have enough money for a boat, or do we need more people?

And, has anybody seen this person?

[Hajime's voice is loud, exuberant and, honestly, pretty obnoxious.]

Hi, everyone!! I met a lot of you today, but to everyone I haven't met, I'm Hajime Ichinose and I was pulled here just like the rest of you by that giant grumpy ghost pirate guy! I wanna go out and find treasure like he told us to, but I don't know much about the ocean or sailing or treasure hunting. I am really good at interior decorating and papercraft, though, so if anyone has a ship that needs a makeover, you can totally call--well, write, I guess--me and let me know! Oh, and I'm a superhero, so I guess that's important to say too!

Let's all work together to find the treasure! I look forward to meeting more of you!

Hajime out!

Do you know Tom Riddle? Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?
