Captain’s Log

I’d add a date, but I’ve no idea what world I’ve landed in, much less how the local time is measured. I know one thing, and one thing only: This isn’t Neverland. Not unless he’s grown more powerful by far since I was here last.

My ship is gone, as well as the rest of the rescue party. With luck, they’ve sailed on, though I fear for the success of their voyage without me to guide them. Not many have gone up against him and survived. I don’t care how much power the Queen and the Crocodile have. My knowledge and sailing abilities are indispensable if we’re to save Henry. They’ll need me.

I don’t recognize this land. I doubt it’s as pleasant as it appears. Magic always comes with a price, does it not? And a land such as this reeks with magic.

I’ll write more when I know more.

- Hook

You're an idiot.

[Wow he was not expecting the journal to write back to him. Clearly it's magic. Or science. But probably magic. Science usually has more metal.]

Who is this?

[uncurse]

Wow. The list of people willing to point out when you're making an ass of yourself is really that long?

[ensorceler]

If it is a ship you desire, there is one mucking the palace grounds and my view. Hurry to it, then, good Captain. You have much work ahead of you.

[unhand]

[And now the book is talking to him Hook definitely magic. He clears his throat and talks back.]

It's not just any I desire, lass. It's my ship.

dictated;

[ensorceler]

[ Yes, talking book! Nice and old-fashioned handwriting is showing up on the page, too.

Lass? Step off sucker. ]

We all have desires, Captain. Wishes and loves and passions that could outshine the sun. But this castle finds ways to stifle dreams, you will see. And you must learn to adapt, to find another way and make it an even grander prospect than you ever could have held captive before, or you will soon perish under Cair Paradisa's tyranny. And none will weep.

[what the hell is this? Is this the Hook? And why is he talking about saving Henry?]

[unvarnished]

Captain Hook, as you might have guessed you're not in your own world. There's a ship on the grounds, but it won't be of any use to you.

written

[unhand]

And why's that? I can sail any vessel.

[heloise]

[ Gosh golly gee! ]

I knew a Captain Hook.

[unhand]

Did you? May be I knew you too. What's your name?

[heloise]

Perhaps. You sound nothing like him.

Call me Lucrezia.

Dictated.

[dorkwonder]

[Okay, wow. He's been away from the network longer than he thought. Not only is there a pirate on the network, but said pirate is potentially one of the most famous pirates of all time.]

You're right on all accounts about this place.

Dictated.

[unhand]

I imagine it's still better than Neverland.

[Yeah he is not sorry to miss out on that especially since apparently Henry is somehow safe after all.]

Dictated.

[dorkwonder]

In Neverland, do you have to worry about suddenly being transported into space or everything changing in the blink of an eye?

Dictated; forgive me as I flee to bed!

[sworn]

The magic here indeed comes with a hefty price.

Dictated; hdu really

[unhand]

You sound as though you speak from experience.

Dictated into forever; it won't happen again u__u

[sworn]

I do. We all do. There is a price for simply being brought here against your own will, one that is usually greater than anyone expected.

[ dictated, because what is writing with a child nearby? ]

[wishmadeinfire]

Ah, if you do not already know this, the journal you are writing in is not exactly a private one without certain criteria met. Everyone is able to read this 'captain's log' of yours, Hook.

[ dictated forever! ]

[unhand]

So I've noticed. It's a good thing I'd written nothing personal.

Re: [ dictated forever! ]

[wishmadeinfire]

Yes, that it is. If you wish to make it private, simply put up a filter. It will work the same if you wish to only speak to a certain person. They will be very important if you value your privacy.

Ryuga, no, do not do that to Agni!

Although this place is called "Paradisa," it would seem to be anything but a paradise.

Written

[unhand]

Seems rather the opposite, really.

Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

[Look at that. He's back.

Dairine scowls a little at the name, remembering how annoying Hook was last time. She's tempted to give him a snarky reply just for that... But no. From the sounds of it, he didn't remember his last stay. Better to start off fresh. Who knows? Maybe he learned how to speak to younger folk back in Neverland.]

A price indeed. Here we call it a loss.

Dictated

[unhand]

So I've heard. And no choice in the matter either, I hear.
