Gan Ning might have been reading the map wrong as they headed west. Just a couple of days out from Isla Empieza they sighted land, which was really too early but...eh, land was land. And it looked inviting enough. Not too wintery all things considered. Might as well put in.

[this is our January catch-all log. They meant to sail somewhere for vacation and landed on the wrong island, and must now deal with very friendly but very annoying singing catfish. Whether you want to help Gan Ning unlock his shard or catch a show in the hollow interior of the island, make your threads and have fun!]

[That woman.

Gaius doesn't say anything however, because he's a bit flabbergasted by seeing the giant catfish. Thankfully it didn't seem like they had any intentions of eating Cynthia, although seeing them singing is just as bizarre.

Having tailed them, he now stands some several feet behind Cynthia, arms folded as he watches the singing fish.]

...they're not bad, huh.

[anelegantmyth]

Is this the universe punishing me for completely ignoring you guys? I know that wasn't really the best idea. But come on, you guys know I love you.

[willwork4sugar]

What're you talking about? Well, okay, I have no idea what's up with the giant singing fish, but at least they haven't tried to eat us.

[anelegantmyth]

Yet.

[willwork4sugar]

....

Well, if that happens, we do have two dragons with a particular diet.

[anelegantmyth]

Right. Sorry. I've been pretty out of it since I started that business of mine. Spending weeks in our library wasn't a good idea, go figure.

[She watches as the fish take their bows before disappearing into some random hole in the ground. What even?]

Hopefully I didn't miss anything.

[willwork4sugar]

Thaat's probably why we were supposed to be taking a break for this trip.

[He smiles crookedly, looking back at the catfish.]

....only Jingles apparently taking a wrong turn somewhere, because this sure isn't the place we had in mind.

[anelegantmyth]

Actually, Ning promised me a decent vacation if I went with him to that summit. Though I did wonder what on earth would possess him to choose this place. What was the original plan?

[willwork4sugar]

Nah. We were aiming for something with a giant palm tree. Even without going very far from the ship, it's pretty obvious this place isn't it.

[anelegantmyth]

Clearly. But singing fish, that's something you don't see everyday. That and huge holes in the ground. I wonder where they lead to?

[She kneels down to take a closer look at one of the holes. See the sparkle in her eye? You know that can never be a good thing.]

[willwork4sugar]

Those holes? Haven't figured that out, although Hiccup and I nearly did by accident when we first got ashore. Iiii'm not in any particular hurry to find out though.

[Yeah, he's eying you there, Cynthia.]
