[It's been eight days since her father left, and despite her searching, she hasn't found him. But this was Luceti. He was here even though he couldn't be back home, so obviously he'd just reappear here again, like mama did! With this knowledge firmly in place, and when school would begin--after a few days of

[This is very, very troubling. On the heels of Derek's disappearance...and now Elicia?]

Elicia....you're....bugger. Elicia?

[Oh, it's the captain. She straighten up at that.]

Um-Hello, Uncle Captain Jack!

[She didn't do anything wrong, did she?]

[lists_to_port]

Darling? [Oh, God....she thinks she did something wrong...] Sweetheart, who's with you?

[asobouyo]

Um, mama and Ed and Al and big sis... We're all at home.

[It's very quiet around here, at the moment.]

[lists_to_port]

Mama and Ed and Al and...

Stay close to big sis, eh? She'll look after you, bitty pirate. You're being very good for mama?

[asobouyo]

I'm being good!! [It may be a tad worried and defensive. She definitely didn't want to cause any trouble for her mother, when she was this sad.] I'll keep being good, promise!

[lists_to_port]

No! I...I know you're good, love, you're always good. You're always so very good. What I meant was, child, to help your mama and give her plenty of hugs. And. Bugger. BUGGER Sparrow don't swear in front of the tiny poppet! You're so very good, Elicia.

I'm...call on Uncle Jack, savvy? You need anything.

[asobouyo]

... If papa comes back, can I use your compass to find him?

[lists_to_port]

Yes. Aye. Yes. Yes indeed, child. You can use it to find him, lovely, aye. Oh, bugger.

Look, Elicia---I'll be by in a little while. Got a bit of somethin' for you. I'll just leave it on the porch, wrapped up with your name on it so no one mistakes it.

[asobouyo]

[...!]

Oh, okay-I'll... I'll check to see if it's there, sometimes!

[Jack quietly closes his journal. Later, he will stop by Elicia's house. He lays on the porch an ENORMOUS teddy bear. It is probably almost as big as she is. It has a pirate-y eyepatch on. And tied to the bow around its neck is his magic compass. Just to borrow. Just for now. Maybe she'll have luck with it. Jack can only hope.]
