An island lost at sea.

[lost_sailor]

Who: Piers, the crew of the Alcyone, and YOU!
Where: Isla Empieza
When: 15th of October
What: The Alcyone returns to port to rest, gather supplies, and pick up a very important person while they decide on the next leg of their journey...
Warnings: None. Oh wait. We have Jade.
Style: [Brackets] or Prose. I'm sure we can adapt.
Status: OPEN. DO AS YOU WANT.

[With the adventure at Manila behind them, Piers is glad to land for once. While he tried his best to hide it from the rest of the crew, he was tired from the slew of offensive spells that he hurled at the moths to keep them at bay.

That was one island they weren't going back to.

They, as a crew, needed to regroup. He personally hoped that he could meet some of the voices that he had heard through he networks. But, above all, he wanted a good night's sleep in a bed.

Inns always solved everything.]

Haha... Yeah, I suppose that's true, isn't it? Then I'll have to keep busy the same way.

[He has to think back pretty far to remember a ship more like this one - all the way back on the Karagol Sea, wasn't it? And that hadn't even been an ocean voyage. And he would have been one of the wussy rowers. But that does remind him of another question.]

Oh - by the way, I was wondering... How long have you had the ship?

[sparkplasma]

Hm? How do you mean?

[lost_sailor]

A little over a month now.

[Not that it would have been hard to tell. The sails were still untorn, despite the storm, and the finish was still smooth. It would be some time before she was properly worn in.

At least he didn't need to fend off any jellies.]

Apparently one of the locals went missing and the rest decided to blame it on us. Sharp objects were involved, or so I heard.

Re: Hubert ➛ Asbel ➛ Piers tagging order, to be broken as needed

[This guy seems pretty nice. Nice enough that Asbel has no problem adding another request on top of Hubert's.]

Or a decent ship? We've been looking at the ones around here but they're either too big for us, the wrong color, or a total piece of junk.

[What. He admitted they were too big first.]

[lost_sailor]

I don't think you need to worry about those things. It's the people on board that are truly important.

[Lesson One: Trust the people you're on board with. It was a hard lesson to learn as well.]

What kind of crew are you looking for?

[bitty_blue_brother]

....just...nice people, I guess.

[This seems like an obvious thing to say, but considering some of the people they've seen in Isla Empieza, probably also a necessary thing to specify. Also, to be honest, Hubert's really not sure how else to answer that question.]

[curries]

[Huh. Yeah, Asbel thinks he could like this guy. His logic strikes a note with him at least. So the ship doesn't matter, it's the people you spend the journey with, huh?]

Works for me! A bunch of nice people who'll be our friends. And it'd probably help if they knew what they were doing, too. With navigation and manning the sails and all that stuff.

I believe I may know a crew like that. But, that brings us to yet another question:

What do you two think you can do on a ship? It isn't easy out there.
