| - Previous: Graveyard of a Madman Part 7 Usagi: She what?! Jiro: Well, the good news is that Migoto paid for our entire crew for the week. We can unwind for a while. We have enough money for all of us to have some fun and make new purchases. I know nothing can replace what we created on board the Panno Marie, but we must accept the fact that it is all gone. What little we recovered is all we are going to get. We are a pirate crew without a ship, and I will do everything in my power to change that for the better. Chio: We are going to do everything in our power, Jiro. All of us. While we're out having fun, we may as well attempt to make some money, since there are a lot of us with a lot of talent, I know I can expect great things. Still, we've been through a lot, so lets simmer down for a couple of days at the very least. Usagi: I have half a mind to go show that Migoto a thing or two about man- Jiro: No! [Everyone jumped at the harsh tone Jiro put out.] Nothing must be even close to harming Migoto in any way shape or form. What she did to our Captain is inexcusable, but that is Rinji's burden, and his alone. Not even I can reason with her, she is far out of my league. Lee: Whatever [Got up from sitting.] If you need me I'll be in the gutter puking up seven types of burbon. [Walked out of the room and out onto the deck, toward the city.] Jiro: That's a good idea, I will stay and watch the ship until all of you have had your fill. Nikk: That ship saved me. Nikk: Just like it saved you when we pulled up that life boat you were adrift on. If they hadn't come for me, I would more than likely be back with my idiotic brother and sister, helping them kill whoever they wanted. With the Tiger-Stripe Pirates, I have a purpose, and a life of my own. I earn my own keep and I have gained some symblance of a.... Nikk: Family. [Walked over to Alice and placed her hand on her shoulder. The two of them stared each other down for a moment, absorbing everything that had happened little by little.] Jana: Nikk! Great, glad you're here. Alice: Dear Lord, Jana, would you like for me to get you a towel? Jana: No, thank you. [She removed the backpack and set it on the ground and started to rummage through it.] I thought you might want these. Alice: Did you swim all the way to the crash site? Alice: Are those your diaries? Nikk: Two out of three, yes. Missing the first one, but I was meaning to rewrite that one anyway. Come on, we have some place to be. [She took Alice's hand and started to rush to the dock, toward the very large city on the beach. ------ Usagi: Chio? Chio: Mmmhmm? Usagi: Do you think they have a printing press here? Chio: It's a big city, I'm sure it has something. [He looked at her, she was carefully looking at each page, making sure that they were still legible, though they were smudged, the paper and ink she used was top-notch and did not give way to the New World's merciless sea.] Usagi: I think it's time to publish my book. Chio: You sure about that? You've been editing it for a long time now. Usagi: Yes. [She held her book tight, and sighed.] I think it's about time to get my name out there in the world of literature. [She looked up suddenly] Oh! Waiter! Waiter: Yes, Madam? [Walked up between the two of them, clad in a fancy tuxedo, and carrying a plate with a few drinks on it already.] Usagi: Sake, lot's of it.
