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?

You both have to answer a riddle, first.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 12:55 am (UTC)Alright.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 12:57 am (UTC)I'm ready.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 12:58 am (UTC)It's easy. I learned it in Cailen, a long time ago. Negi, try to let the little lady solve it before jumping in, alright?
[And he takes a deep breath and starts to recite it.]
I with borrowed silver shine,
What you see is none of mine.
First I show you but a quarter,
Like the bow that guards the Tartar;
Then the half, and then the whole,
Ever dancing round the pole;
And true it is, I chiefly owe
My beauty to the shades below.

Date: 2011-07-09 01:05 am (UTC)She brightens like the answer to the riddle.]
The moon!
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 01:08 am (UTC)I agree! It's the moon!
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 01:10 am (UTC)[He grins at them, ruffling Negi's hair before stepping aside and letting them enter.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 01:12 am (UTC)Hmm...where do we start looking now?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 01:13 am (UTC)I'd say the dining room, wouldn't you?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 01:19 am (UTC)[Though that's quickly answered. It's kind of pinned down to the table with a knife.]
...I guess it's that?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 01:28 am (UTC)That old oak in the southenmost corner ought to do just nicely to send her to her death, don't you think?
Fitting revenge for trying to steal the treasure of a pirate king.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 01:34 am (UTC)[Oh god, Negi hopes this is just a game.]
Miss Lizzie, how are you with flying...?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 02:14 am (UTC)Maybe we could try to reason with the pirate king...
[She blinks.]
Flying? On what? And how? Is it hard?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 02:17 am (UTC)[He motions to the staff, strapped to his back.]
On this. Don't worry, it's very safe. Even if you lose your grip, you can't fall from it.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 02:24 am (UTC)If we fly we'll get to the tree faster, right? So let's do it. We should try to talk with the pirate king before he hangs the little doll, whoever she is...
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 02:37 am (UTC)[Come on, Lizzie! Let's go outide!]
Hop on behind me, and hold on tight.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 02:45 am (UTC)So Lizzie hops onto the staff, trying to find her balance for a moment before clinging to him and holding on for dear life.]
I'm ready, Negi.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 02:50 am (UTC)[And once she's on and seated comfortably, he takes off. It's not far to where he thinks they should be - the southernmost point in the city could only be one place. Once he finds a safe place, he lands, making sure Lizzie dismounts first and keeping a close eye for any creatures nearby.]
Re: [Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 02:53 am (UTC)Just Emily- tied to the trunk of the tree like a very little maiden tied to railroad tracks, with a note under one of her blue little arms;]
Emily the doll has swooned away cold, I'm afraid, but you're not far now;
For your final clue I ask of you,
Where do you go when you're feeling blue?
If you've got a cough and a sniffle or two,
Who can you count on my dears, oh who?
Now, don't forget to bring Emily along with you! If you leaver her behind a pirate might get her.

Date: 2011-07-09 03:03 am (UTC)Isn't this Mister Break's doll?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 03:06 am (UTC)Yes, I remember seeing it with him before.
... this riddle. I think the answer is Unohana-san's clinic.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 03:54 am (UTC)It says "final clue", so I guess Miss Unohana's clinic will be where the treasure is! Let's go!
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 04:07 am (UTC)[Here, Lizzie, hop back on his staff. Unohana's isn't far, but it would be a long walk.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 04:33 am (UTC)[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-09 04:37 am (UTC)[With more confidence this time, she hops onto the staff. She's even able to look down this time.]
Do you fly often, Negi? The view is lovely from up here.
