I don't like Dog, but I don't doubt its interest in cooperating. What I doubt is its knowledge or in what answers they are really allowed to answer. The answers they give to those questions aren't that good, but the information it gives about weather or where the Navy is tend to be useful and accurate at east.

But yes, it's definitively a wild goose chase.

[A pause.]

If you want to try to ask questions to Dog, be careful with what you say and how. We lost a question one week because a guy was "M-Monsters?!" when Dog talked about sea monsters being sighted somewhere.

[ex_automobiles598]

Do you think he's under orders?

[That would make sense on why his answers were so vague to begin with]

And don't worry, I'll have it all planned out ahead of time. [Now she pauses] Thank you, you've been really helpful.

[uccellodifuoco]

I'm pretty sure of that, what other explanation could there be for those answers? There's also the possibility that Dog may be more than one person, the last time it contacted us it used female pronouns for itself, but I could have swore that it was male before that.

[He shrugs.]

You're welcome. Just try to not get too frustrated if someone gets first and ruins your question chance.

[ex_automobiles598]

Yeah if that's the case, I'm starting to doubt it's an actual dog. [Unless there was more than one talking dog for some reason...] But that makes sense. There are no clues as to who's on top I'm guessing?

It's fine. You said the Dog posts once a week? I'll have plenty of chances.

[uccellodifuoco]

Davy Jones. That's all we have, but just knowing who it is doesn't tell us much.

[He looks amused.]

That seems the case, but it has been actually a couple of weeks since we heard of it. And that's nothing new.

[ex_automobiles598]

[Considering she wasn't expecting even a name, that's good enough for her]

And by the sounds of it no one here has seen him yet. Sailing around would be another plus for that, maybe someone will get the chance to meet him one day.

[uccellodifuoco]

Maybe we did. The ones that arrived here first. Some of us remember seeing a vision of a ghost or an illusion, but we don't know if that was Davy Jones or not. Neither was the ghost that helpful with its indications.

[ex_automobiles598]

That's...a possibility. No one has seen him since?

[She'll try to figure this out as much as she can, if possible]

What about the locals? Is trying to talk to them even worth it?

[uccellodifuoco]

If they have they didn't mention it, but I doubt that's the case.

[Most of the people around seemed to be the types that liked to comment on everything that happened to them after all.]

Depends what you're asking them about and where. For the people in Isla Empieza the jewel thing is just an old legend, only a few of them believe it to be true but have no real information besides what we could read at the fountain. For the people at other islands it's pretty much the same except that I've yet to meet someone who believes it to be true, some don't even know about it.

As for Davy Jones, they know about him but it's again just legends and rumours. If you're asking about other things, though, they may be more useful.
