See you during the application round!

♦ You're lost at sea. Maybe you got separated from your crew. Or perhaps you're on an abandoned island. You need help!

♦ "Pirates off the starboard bow!" It's an enemy ship! Attack!!

♦ You and your crew are hanging out on your ship. Just another day at sea!

♦ "LAND, HO!" Hey look, a new island! How about you go explore it? Tell us what you find!

♦ Arrr, here be buried treasure, but not all that glitters is gold! Will ye be telling your mateys what ye found, or keeping it for yourselves?

[Town Square]

Crocodile takes a deep drag of his cigar, before blowing out a long plume of smoke. He's been down this road before, he knows it. Unlocked memories gradually start to filter in as he takes in the increasingly familiar scenery around the fountain.

"Damn it," he sighs, taking off in the direction of the market, "Not this ridiculous nonsense, again. Can't this place just leave me be, already?"

Most people clear out of his way, given that he's a broad, eight-foot-tall monster of a man. He stops at a local eater, angrily plunking down coins before grabbing some friend turkey to chew on. All he wanted was to explore the New World at his leisure, not get wrapped up here again.

"Right, then. To the docks, it is."

[Island Ruins]

"Where are we currently?" he barked back at his companion, "That map is supposed to track our location through some strange, likely magical means. Keep an eye on it. This place is built to confuse the unwary."

Every now and then he'd lash out with is hook, carving a mark on a pillar they had already passed by. All the better to keep track.

"Are you sure the information you acquired is trustworthy? If this is a false promise, I'll be quite put out."

"We're on a bloody island that's where we are." Edward snarls right back, "and you won't be the only one looking to have words with that barkeep if this is a loss."

The only really new part to this is having someone along, but sometimes two sets of eyes were better in these kinds of places.

"So long as this isn't some death trap or home to some mad cult we'll at least be able to walk out of here."

"I'll be able to walk out of here," he noted simply, blowing another plume of smoke. He watches it to search for any wind currents that might indicate a path to the outside. "I can't really speak for you. It's hard to keep me any place I don't wish to be."

"I'm no easy man to pin down either, plenty've tried it."

He gives a good he'd look at the pillars around them, looking at the carvings before grabbing hold of some deeper ones and beginning to climb easily up.

"Might be a bit easier with a birds view, tends to give a bit of perspective o these kinds of things."

"Be my guest," he said, casting his eyes upward, "You're a bit smaller than I am."
