Route A: Chilling

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

[Percy is sitting on the deck with his legs dangling off the side of the ship. His eyes are half-closed as he enjoys the sea. This is by far the best thing that's happened in Paradisa. He doesn't even mind being thought of as a pirate. He'll gladly talk to any shipmates who happen to pass by]

Oh, I forgot! Hey, Violet! You doing okay? I didn't see you around so I'm guessing you're on another boat or something.

Violet

Well... yeah.

Does yours have weapons?

Percy

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

Yeah, standard pirate ship.

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Cool.

Percy

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

So how are you?

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

I'm great! The ship is a beauty, and the island we landed on is really mysterious. I wish we could've stayed longer.

Percy

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

We're leaving ours soon. It's a very ritzy place. Too expensive. Nice, but too high end.

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Really? Ours was a dump, and attacked by monsters or something.

Percy

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

Monsters? Are you okay?

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

We haven't run into any yet.

Re: Violet

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

Yet? [Violet does not like the sound of that. Her own history doesn't make room for optimism.]

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Yeah. But either way, I'm not worried.

Percy

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you're not. You're pen is back to working, right?

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's stuck on sword mode now, which is just fine to me.

Re: Violet

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

[Violet hopes he doesn't have to use it, but knowing how things play out, it's probably a certainty.] Be safe, please. At the very least.

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

I'll be fine. Son of the sea god, remember? This is my element.

But... thanks. And you be careful too, okay?

Percy

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. Doesn't mean it isn't in my nature to worry. And I will try my hardest. [Which never helps.]

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

I'll check in with you when I can, 'kay?

Percy

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

You better.

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

[chuckle] I promise.

Percy

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

[Not that he can see it, but she is smiling. First time since she's been on this boat.] Okay, well I'll let you get back to high seas. I'm sure you were doing something terribly adventurous.

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

I usually am.

Percy

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

[She laughs at that.] I know. I suppose I am as well. Though I definitely miss the days of doing nothing. I think it's been awhile since I've done that.

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Maybe we'll have some downtime after all this is over.

Percy

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

That'd be nice. I heard there's a pond or lake or something near the castle.

Violet

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there is! There are lots of cool places to go. Like a game room, and the movie theater, and there's a Season Room that switches between a beach and a snowy place.
