[Dust kneels at the side of a pool, Ahrah vertical next to him and a deathgrip on the blade as if he's clinging to it for dear life. His head is bowed, the other hand splayed on the ground before him to support him, and he shakes like a trembling leaf in the wind.]

[Someone hadn't expected the results of a simple drink here.]

[The ponds are really strange in this place, no matter how many she checks, she can't see any fish in them, despite how clear the water is. She's not sure if that's normal or not, but it's not something Elizabeth has ever seen.

She's taking a walk, checking the ponds once more when she spots Dust looking rather sick. Obviously her first reaction is to hurry besides him to grab his arm and offer extra support seeing how he's clinging to his sword.]

Dust! What happened? Are you feeling sick?

[mithrarin]

[She's lucky he can't muster a physical response. It might have gone poorly for her. Frankly, though, he can use the extra help; his weight lies heavy against her grip, a testament to just how hard it had been for him not to just pitch straight forward. ]

For some reason... when I drank from this pool, all my memories -- both sets of memories, came flooding back...

[thewatchdogswife]

Eh? Just because you drank that water?

[Her eyes fall on the clear surface of the pool, a frown on her face.]

But it doesn't look any different from the others.

[mithrarin]

That's what I thought! But it can't have been a coincidence, the timing was too close.

[thewatchdogswife]

[She frowns at the pool for another second before she turns back to Dust.]

Is it over now? Or are the memories still flooding back?

Uhm, maybe it would be better if you sat down...

[mithrarin]

It's... the rest aren't so bad. Not compared to the memory of my souls killing each other.

[Sitting down might be problematic. He's tensed up and unable to relax, even to move. Who can blame him?]

[melodyssong]

[Well that wasn't good. Musa rushes over to him, kneeling down next to the pool. She was trying so hard to check what was wrong. Nothing physically wrong, that much was obvious. Then what was it?]

Dist! What happened?

[mithrarin]

[No sign of injury, no visible harm. Of course, he might very well have gone blind or had his eyes fall out and no one would ever know, thanks to that hat, but... probably that didn't happen.]

When I drank this water... all my memories became clearer. Like I was reliving them. All of them.

[melodyssong]

[She looked at the water. Could that have caused this. It was...strange.]

And that doesn't sound good. Maybe we should get you back to the ship. Let you rest.

[mithrarin]

No -- if I rest, I'll just see it all again. You can't imagine it, it's --

[Dust manages to pry his free hand off the ground, enough to lift it to his face.] It's not something you'll ever experience.

[melodyssong]

[She paused for a moment.]

True, I might not have, but you don't know what I have been through and what I haven't to know that fully. But if you don't want to rest fine, but just dont drink the water again.

[mithrarin]

[Beneath his hand, Dust laughs. The sound is ragged, but genuine.]

No. I don't know what you've been through, Musa. But I am sure that you've never had to remember, in graphic detail, your two souls killing each other. That one's pretty uniquely Dust.

5/3 - 5/7

[thewatchdogswife]

This island is awesome!! It's so peaceful and cute! There are many flowers too, who wants a flower crown?!

[Guess who has drank from a pond that boosted her usual cheerful attitude. She will be spending her time running around to attack other members of the crew with flower crowns and flower collars and anything else that she can make with flowers. That or collecting flowers and making the aforementioned crowns and collars.

There are also high chances that the ship will end decorated with flowers everywhere as the days go by and they remain on the island.]

5/3

[melodyssong]

[She couldn't help but smile slightly. It was nice that she was having fun at least.]

You seem happier today, Elizabeth. having a good time?

5/3

[thewatchdogswife]

[Musa gets a flower crown over her head, whether she likes it or not. She's free to take it off and throw it away, though, Elizabeth won't notice and she will just get her another when she does.]

I am! Musa, this place is awesome! The water is delicious, and it's just so peaceful and calm! Are you enjoying it too?

[melodyssong]

[She'll be keeping it on for now and later it will be hanging on the ship wall somewhere because she wanted to keep it. But for now it will be staying firmly on her head.]

I'm enjoying it. I just prefer watching others enjoying it first. But I am glad I found a calm place first, especially since the Navy is after us and who knows what else.

[thewatchdogswife]

Yes, this place is great! I love it here, you should go and enjoy it too. I promise it will feel great!

Do you think the Navy could find us here? I don't think so, this place is so peaceful and great. Ah! I know, why don't we stay here forever?!

[Now that she thinks of it she doesn't like the idea of leaving.]

[melodyssong]

[She laughs slightly.]

I will enjoy it when I can and I hope I do. I mean we need to relax every now and again after all.

[She crossed her arms as she thinks things over for a moment.]

I don't know, I mean if they do see our ship I doubt they would just leave us alone, but I'm keeping positive that they don't come here.

5th - 7th

[melodyssong]

5th-6th

[Well this was a strange feeling. One she never had before. Just ry the water of one of the pools she thought. It might help them later on she thought. She didn't know it would have this kind of effect on her and now she didn't feel so. She felt like one would when they drank too much alcohol and felt like doing overly stupid things.

But thankfully she wasn't one of those drunks. Instead she was just...loud.]

He-Hey guys. I hope you are enjoying yourself because I know I am.

7th

[Now that she was back to normal or as normal as one could here, she had called the others for a meeting once more to discus if there were islands one wanted to go to.]

Okay, so we'll be moving on today. Is there any place one wants to head towards?

*Cerise is a lot less... antisocial than usual. She's nuzzling up to everyone and stumbling around.*

Fun! It's fun. Baskets of fun. Baskets of food? I'm not stealing any, though. 'Cause I don't.

[melodyssong]

[She couldn't help but laugh slightly, seriously people seemed to be having a good time and honestly she figured that was a good thing.]

Great! I'm glad to see you more chipper than normal. I also never would have thought you would steal anything so no worries.

[lonely_wolf]

Good. That would be the worst thing forever after. It's bad enough people... people get weird about bad guys. I'm not a bad guy and they still get weird.

[melodyssong]

[She pauses for a moment. leaning over slightly.]

You know, people judge people before they get to know them. The navy put us all under the same flag because some idiot thought it was smart to burn a place to the ground.

[She laughs once more.]

But I know your not a bad guy, but those idiot out there think we are and I doubt that will change any time soon.

[lonely_wolf]

A lot of bad guys didn't do anything wrong. Even the ones who did, they were just doing what they were supposed to do. Mostly. Some are bad.
