ps3pirate | 1st Treasure

[Patty isn't a stranger to waking up in peculiar places. In fact, she's awoken in places far stranger than this. The first thing she noticed was the nostalgic, salty smell of the sea. Then, the crash of waves that were rocking her little 'boat' back and forth. It was really quite calming. However, all dreams must come to an end and it wasn't long before she regained consciousness entirely to realize that she was in a bit of a pickle.

She was in a washtub. In the middle of an ocean. Wearing a plain white dress. ... Well, it could always be worse. Not quite noticing the book beside her just yet, she begins to speak.]

Oooh, my head... I know that when it's time to abandon ship and you're out of lifeboats, you should float along in a powder keg, but I've never heard of washtub boats before.

Ah, looks like I'm caught up the creek without a paddle. [Silence, then a little crackle in the microphone.] ...This book will do, ya know!

[What follows is a very loud splash, as Patty dunks the journal into the water to try and paddle her way to shore. This... may take a while.]

Hey, hey! Move back a bit! [Nice to see she recognizes him.]

And yeah, everyone here has one! They're journals, ya can use them to talk to anyone in the village. I'm guessin' you probably want to read through the guide, I'm not good at explainin' these things.

[She puts the journal down on the floor of the washtub, peering down at it.]

There's a guide about situations like this? That smells fishier than a net of freshly-caught herring on a sunday morning. Are you playing a prank on poor, innocent little Patty? That's in poor taste, old man.

I'm gettin' a little old to be playin' pranks on kids. Give me a minute and I'll find it for ya!

[He disappears for a few minutes whilst he looks through the journal. It's been a long time since he's had to give this out to anyone, he usually lets other people do it instead.]

Here ya go! I'm sure that thing is enough readin' fer one life time.

[Patty's eyes widen when she gets her first look at the Guide.]

Uwaaah! That looks like one boring story! Don't tell me I've gotta read all of this!

Yep! Ya gotta read the whole thing. Didn't I tell you? Ya have to take a special exam or they throw ya into jail!

[What was that about being too old to play pranks? For shame, Raven.]

An exam?! But I don't have a pen! I don't even have my clothes!

[Old habits die hard.]

Ah right, ya just arrived. I'm guessin' yer at the beach then from the sound of things?

Nope. I'm out on the wide open sea, ya know! With the salty sting in my face and the wind in my back!

Uh, you should really try and find yer way to land. Unless ya wanna die out there that is.

Die? Why would I die?! Is it because of the Adephagos?

Would you look up at the sky fer a minute! Do you see any Adephagos here?!

Well, no, but I don't exactly remember us getting rid of it, either. Did you guys go and save the world without me? I thought we were all in this together, ya know!

We're not on Terca Lumireis anymore, this is a completely different world. No aer, no blastia, and no Adephagos.

[For a moment, there's silence. And then...]

How'd we get to another world? You'd think I'd notice a thing like that.

I think it's called "shifting". Ta be entirely honest with ya, I don't understand how it works either, it just does.

But if we're on another world, who will stop Duke?

[Adephagos, stopping Duke. That confirms the point in time she's been pulled from without him even having to ask.]

Ya don't need to worry about that! Duke has been here before himself. Best way ta think about it is to think that time stops back home!

Time... stops? And Duke was here? Then, we can just go home?

Not exactly. Goin' home is the hard part, it just seems ta happen to people at random.

Because of that... Shifting thing?

Exactly!

Don't worry, before ya know it you'll be actin' like you've been here forever! It's not too bad once ya get used to it!

[What follows is a pretty deep, weary sigh.]

Guess that means I should read that Guide, then... So where are you, old man? Are you coming to meet with me?

No way! You can make yer own way here! If ya get to the beach there's a teleporter, it'll bring you straight to the village. When you get there then I'll come find ya.

[So mean, old man. She just smirks into the camera.]

It's a deal, then! You'd better be there when I arrive, ya know. If you're not, I'll leave no stone unturned until I find you!

That wouldn't be hard ta do either, I live in house twelve. I'm guessin' yer gonna need a place ta stay yourself?
