maddestBreak?
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?

Date: 2011-07-08 05:46 am (UTC)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!

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.

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

Date: 2011-07-08 06:59 am (UTC)Usually death.
[He says it so casually.]
They are pirates.

Date: 2011-07-08 07:04 am (UTC)Found us thus far, have you?
The day has been busy,
We're feeling half dead.

Okay, let's go.

The window would be faster. Just sayin'.

Date: 2011-07-08 07:59 am (UTC)[Al reaches out, gripping Killua's shoulder and staring downwards.
There's blood on the floor.]

Date: 2011-07-08 03:52 pm (UTC)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.

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