Isn't this a curious situation we've gotten ourselves into?
[The voice coming from the journal seems to belong to a young woman. Her voice is quiet and polite, though it does seem like there is a hint of something...more hiding just below the surface. Could it possibly be just your imagination? Maybe...]Hmm. Well, perhaps "situation" isn't exactly the proper term I should be using. It's a bit like a game if you stop and think about it. There is an objective, a set of opponents to compete against; in this case each other, and a prize for those who are able to complete the objective. So far it would seem that the only thing this "game" is lacking is a set of rules. Though...I suppose it's rather fitting given the nature of our setting. Pirates weren't exactly known for their law-abiding nature.
[A light giggle follows her words, before she continues.]Regardless, this is a game that is going to require a fair sum of adaptation. If we wish to go back home, or to make our lives comfy and cozy here, we must first accept our situation for what it is and adapt accordingly. Otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to make any progress at all. And speaking of progress, that brings me to the point of this message: Crews! Specifically, I'm looking to build one.
I do realize many people are doing so, and I applaud their efforts, but even so I would
prefer to put in the time and effort it would take to build my own crew as opposed to joining one. At this stage of the game I cannot afford to be too picky, but even so there
are jobs that need filling. I need someone to cook, clean, perform manual labor, operate the ship, and entertain. So if I get one person per job that is five people. If you possess any of these skills, do let me know.
[A pause.]...also, if "Hope's Peak Academy" means anything to you, please contact me immediately. Thank you for your time.
