[the screen flickers for a moment before it's held back by a cloaked figure. the identity cannot be determined due to the hood, but there's one thing that could be deciphered: the person was covered in blood.

after a few more seconds, a rather cheerful voice is heard, the hood pulled down to reveal Ace's smiling face]

There we are! I was afraid the Dreamberry had been broken. I tried contacting people for the past week but I couldn't get anything. I guess I had ventured too far out, haha. [it's more of a miracle he managed to find his way back within reception distance]

Julius! Do you know how to properly grill shark meat? [he now holds up the dismembered head of one of the sand sharks by his free hand. the rest of its slashed up corpse could be found behind him, as well as a tent and fire place nearby. it's now apparent that Ace has been and still is out somewhere in the desert] I tried roasting it over a fire last night, but it was still rather tough. Maybe it needed more salt...

[smilesmile] Though if anyone else wants some, there's plenty! I should be bringing it back soon. [read: in a few days if he's lucky.]

I'm not sure...

[knightofchanges]

Well if you're alive, then I can only assume everyone else is fine. [was that a slight dig at Julius' incapacity to fight? ....maybe.]

But I wonder how everyone wound up in a warehouse...was it somewhere in Somarium? You could have tried to contact me for help you know. [even if he. was. unable to contact anyone from out in the desert lol.]

[knightofchanges]

[chuckles] Well it might not suit your tastes, so that's all right.

How have you been? It's been quite some time since we last spoke hasn't it?

[masterofclocks.livejournal.com]

[Not everyone can be psycho killers like you, Ace. :|]

The Dreamberries weren't working.

[knightofchanges]

[sure they can :D]

Oh they weren't? And here I thought it had just been me.

[masterofclocks.livejournal.com]

It could've been you as well.

[knightofchanges]

Perhaps. Maybe I should try journeying farther out and try contacting again!

[masterofclocks.livejournal.com]

... That's not necessary.

[knightofchanges]

But wouldn't it be good to know for any others who might try to come out here?

[noodlearrms.livejournal.com]

What? Of course not! Sanji is my friend and crewmate, too!!

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

... That was in the desert?

[masterofclocks.livejournal.com]

I don't really care.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

I've been having nothing but nightmares lately Ace.

[knightofchanges]

[small sigh] So heartless.

Well I've been gone long enough, anyway. I'm running low on supplies. I should be back by tomorrow, though. [which is more like three days]

[masterofclocks.livejournal.com]

[And believe me, Julius knows.]

All right.

[knightofchanges]

And some kind of giant worm, but I wouldn't recommend eating that.

[knightofchanges]

Nightmares? [blinks] What do you mean?

[knightofchanges]

Anything I should pick up for you?

[knightofchanges]

[laughs] Sorry, it was just kind of hard to tell since all you talked about was his cooking.

[masterofclocks.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[knightofchanges]

All right then. I'll talk to you later!

[and click!]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Just... I kept having the same nightmare. And then there was this dreadifyingly dark warehouse with these big black monsters and rats.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

Actually I wouldn't eat the shark either...! They're monster and -

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

*...Wait a minute.*

You - you fought it?

[knightofchanges]

Of course! If I hadn't, you wouldn't be talking to me right now, haha.
