5/22

[Even though it was a couple of days removed, the events of the last 'curse' were still fresh in Mona Lisa's mind. She had wanted to be human again, and she had gotten that wish. Unfortunately, it was only temporary. Like everyone else she gone back to...

Well, normal wasn't really the right word for it. She was hanging in there, though. What else could she do about it?

At the moment, Mona was outside, elbows resting on the ship's railing as she stared at the open sea. 'Lost in thought' would've been a good way to describe her.]

5/23 - 5/24

[Oh man, actual treasure hunting. She was actually pretty excited over the idea! Wouldn't it be awesome if she could find a chest just overflowing with money? Mona Lisa was already imagining it...

She steps off the ship and takes a brief look around.]

So where should we start looking?

[That treasure wasn't going to find itself, you know.]

5/25 - 5/31

[She really needed to know:] So why's this place called Candy Mountain?

[What a weird nickname for an island. At least, Mona had assumed it was a nickname.]

[Maybe he'd be better off not talking about it but they've gotta be getting close, and he can't fool himself into thinking otherwise. Soon he'd be able to eat sweets again, and gods help the crew if he tried to fill the hold with sugary treats.]

Because..! It is a magical land of candy and sweets and you can eat almost anything there because it's probably made of sugar.

[Whether or not he got this off a brochure, heard by rumor or fantasized the whole thing is questionable. He may very well be a bit delirious.]

[notacostume]

Hold on a second, pal. You're really telling me that this place is actually made up of candy? [Like, literally?

She's not sure if she buys it, honestly.]

How's that even supposed to work?

[willwork4sugar]

[He pulls out his journal where he's kept a page of notes.]

Dirt made of chocolate powder, licorice grass and lollipop flowers, taffy trees and waterfalls of chocolate milk..! And that's only things I've heard!

I don't know how it works so long as it's true!

[notacostume]

Are you serious? [She has trouble believing this, honestly. Then again, weird things have definitely happened to her.

Maybe not as weird as the idea of Candy Mountain, but they're up there!]

Are the clouds made out of cotton candy or something?

[willwork4sugar]

If it's a lie, I'm going to be pretty upset.

[The thief arches a brow.]

...I don't know, but if they are, I'd try it!

[notacostume]

[Cotton candy clouds do sound like a lot of fun. Delicious fun. But there's just one problem.]

Yeah? And how do you think you're gonna reach them?

Gonna sprout some wings on me?

[willwork4sugar]

Heh, very funny. Of course not! We got a Viking and his dragon aboard.

[notacostume]

Gonna hitch a ride on the dragon? [Actually that sounds like a great idea.]

Hey, if the clouds are actually made of cotton candy, can you bring me some?

[willwork4sugar]

I don't see why not.

[He grins.]

Sure thing.
