So you got the good trip? That is so not fair.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

Good trip? I was not aware there was such a thing.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

From what I hear, there are a few living it up on a cruise. And there's my boat. I woke up in a hammock! A hammock! I fell out of it!

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

I am glad you are in one piece at any rate.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

A hammock!

[JSYK, she's a bit perturbed by the hammock.]

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

[Kind of amused despite the situation]

Nobody's bed you can steal? You're an enterprising woman.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Haven't checked yet. Hightailed it out of that boat the first moment I could. The rocking was making me sick.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

[Cruise ships don't rock much but, he's been on a small ship before. It was not an experience he wished to repeat. And yet here he is]

I can sympathize.

So your boat is near land as well?

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Yep. Anchored at some island with people that swear we're pirates out to pillage and burn and...pirate.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

Ah. Yes, the locals here were eager to call us pirates as well, though I believe the claim was harder to insist on since the flag on our ship is blank. I have no idea what that portends.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

The flag or the pirate-thing?

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

Well, I was talking about the flag, but either. Does the castle actually expect us to act like pirates?

Personally, I am considering staying on this island until this is all over.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Flags on ships are supposed to tell what country it's from. If it's blank, I'm guessing it's white, which is supposed to be the universal sign of surrender.

...Did you surrender?

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

I didn't. But the locals aren't especially hostile. It helps that our ship does not look anything like how you would suspect a pirate ship to look.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

[Grumbled.] Lucky you.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

I can't help where the castle put me or anyone else.

[pause]

...Ashura isn't here.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Really? This castle is so fucked up! It actually separated you?! Argh.

[Pause in he righteous anger.]

Have you managed to talk to him, at least?

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

Not yet. I'm going to leave a message for him. Hopefully he'll see it.

I...take it that he isn't on your ship.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen him here. But I'll keep an out for him.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

I would appreciate that, Harley.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll try looking for him now. I'll let you know if I find him.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

...and...do keep me updated on yourself.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Will do!
