Break?

Yes, Emily?

Guess what I found?

What did you find?

A treasure map! A treasure map!

Treasure? My, my- what does it say.

I don't know! I can't read it.

Well, I can't read it either. How are we going to find the treasure, then?

Maybe we can ask someone to help?

Where?

[No, seriously. He doesn't care if Break is actually a witch luring him into his gingerbread house so that he can cook him. Searching for treasure is the best way to spend a birthday.]

[He gets utterly benign x,y coordinates, near the clinic.]

[When he gets there, pinned to a tree at the very coordinates, will be a note.]

So, ye think ye can steal my pirate's map, do ye? Well, I've taken the one eyed thief, and ye'll not get him back without ransom! If ye have the skill, come to these coordinates (x,y) as quick as possible, or he'll be given the black spot!

[And Alphonse appears only minutes later, reading the paper over Killua's shoulder. ... well then, Break's up to something.]

What's the 'black spot'?

[Killua frowns as he eyes the note. This is suspiciously familiar. He does not, however, feel threatened, so with a light kick of the tree, he notes the new coordinates and is about to take off when he hears Al speak up.

He turns around to face the older teen with childish condescension.]

It's a pirate thing. It's a way to tell someone they're guilty and there's no way they can get out of being punished for it.

Oh... great.

[Al rubs the back of his neck.]

Punished how?

[But he's already starting off towards the next set of coordinates.]

[He might as well keep pace with Al, he figures, and he sidles up beside him, elbows out, hands clasped behind his head.]

Usually death.

[He says it so casually.]

They are pirates.

[And pirates love riddles. When they get there, there's another tea-stained, slightly crisped paper;]

Found us thus far, have you?
The day has been busy,
We're feeling half dead.
You'll find the next clue
In Break's nice, big, soft ___.

From: [personal profile] al_truism
... maybe we should hurry.

[He's not ENTIRELY sure if Break's fooling, after all. So he breaks into a run until they get there.]

... bed?

I think if we pull the sheets down to make sure there's nothing sharp first, we should be okay.

[Killua notes that it could also be "head," but everything else so far has been much more PG than that mental image. Probably shouldn't mention that one to Al.]

Let's just check it out. If it's a knife or something, I want it.

Knowing Break...

[It could be literally anything.]

Okay, let's go.

[Al always knocks politely and this time is no exception. He's been here before, though usually just for tea.]

... I have no idea which one his room is. Do you?

Yeah, sure. Seen him pop out of it once or twice.

[A pause.]

The window would be faster. Just sayin'.

al_truism: (Weeeelp.)
From: [personal profile] al_truism
We're already inside-

[Al reaches out, gripping Killua's shoulder and staring downwards.

There's blood on the floor.]

[Killua is more deterred by Al's reaction than by the blood itself, quickly attempting to remove his shoulder from the other boy's grip.]

I'm not gonna step in it. You can let go.

[They've found the map he was waving around, at least. On the back, a more elaborate little story is written;]

Long ago, Pegleg McGee's crew sailed the seven seas. They were the most ferocious pirates e'er to walk the decks of a ship. Pegleg McGee was a greedy man, and he sailed to the most dangerous reaches of the Adstringendum seas to find a place to hide his treasure.

He succeeded, but as he left the hiding place his ship was dashed against the rocks by the rather tempermental squid. Perhaps you should go down to this beach? There might be a clue in the shipwreck.


[A sketchy rendering of the city follows on the back, with an x marking a spot near the edge of the water.]

Are you guys looking for the treasure, too?

[Another thing they might notice is a shipwrecked mast, lovingly recreated. It's a small little thing, dug hard into the sand, with just a crow's nest poking out. Attached to the top is a little note.]

al_truism: (?!)
From: [personal profile] al_truism
Yes!

[Al bites his lip thoughtfully as they get to the edge of the water, looking up at the pole.]

Aang, I bet you can Killua could both get to that easily.

[When they do get it down, the final note will send them to the clinic, to get their prize.]
