[Today, Brook is sitting in the library, poring over books and back information in his journal, trying to learn all he can about this place.]

Pardon me, residents--but are there any large bodies of water near here?

[Large enough to go pirating on, he means, though he's being vague on purpose--being that he knows there's at least one other powerful pirate about.]

well theres the moat
theres also a large bay to the north where i think we may still have some boats
if they havent been vandalized in the past year and a half anyway
why do you ask

Dictated forever

[whichwayyoulean]

Define 'large'.

[pianoman]

Boats? What sort of boats?

...ah, curiosity, of course!

[Of course... not.]

Ditto!

[pianoman]

Large enough for watercraft?

[psych0p0mps]

[well hey, if he has an interest in sailing and exploration, why not tell him everything?]

one was a big luxury ship
and the others were smaller ones with sails
kind of like pirate ships
although actually we got them during a world change where everybody thought we were pirates
so its more or less accurate to say they really are pirate ships

The ocean's kinda far from here. The closest is our duck pond. Not very big, and already occupied by a giant squid.

[pianoman]

[He's quiet a moment while he processes all this information.]



What do you mean when you say "world change?"

[pianoman]

Yohohoho! I'd like to meet this "giant squid" then!

[waterproofed]

Sure. He's a buddy of mine, so I can introduce you.

[pianoman]

Is that so? I will take you up on it.

[There's nothing terribly strange about that statement to him.]

[waterproofed]

Okay, stop by anytime.

[whichwayyoulean]

You mean like a boat? Because there's this river, but it leads to a bunch of vicious birds of death.

[pianoman]

Hm. That sounds like nothing short of an exciting challenge.

[whichwayyoulean]

And this is why I think most of the residents in this place need their heads examined.

[psych0p0mps]

well its kind of a misnomer
periodically everyone will just wake up and find themselves in a completely new place apart from the castle
and sometimes it even turns us human as part of it :0
people used to think it was the castle changing forms but eventually we found out we were just being transported somewhere else!
personally i believe all these "worlds" are actually on this very planet somewhere
and that they are where people truly end up when the castle sends them away
