[Caroline has been stuck on the boat for a day, now it's going on her second and she's starting to get hungry, really, really hungry. She sounds pretty desperate. And a little drunk because the only way to curb the cravings is alcohol.]

Does anyone know when we're going to get back to land? I'm... getting seasick. Besides being on a boat is not as

Unfortunately it looks like we still have a full day of sailing ahead of us.

[stopkissingme]

You're stuck here too?

[spongetastic]

That's right. ... I got some stuff from town if you're feeling sea-sick.

[stopkissingme]

Oh. [Medicine won't help] I don't think I should take anything. On an empty stomach, you know?

[spongetastic]

You haven't eaten lately? I think crackers might help, or dry toast.

[stopkissingme]

[She mumbles something about how it wouldn't help.] I guess.

[spongetastic]

..Did you want something else? I'm sure we stocked up on food.

[stopkissingme]

I'm sure food will help me much, you know?

[spongetastic]

Okay, but... try to eat when you can. We won't see land again for a while.

[stopkissingme]

Do you know how long?

[spongetastic]

[shakes his head] From the map, I'd say at least another full day. And even when we reach land, it's a desert. There's no guarantee we'll find food right away.

[stopkissingme]

A desert? [Yes, that's panic in her voice. Where the hell is she going to find some blood that isn't a person?]

[spongetastic]

Yeah. I asked one of those townspeople, and that's what he said.

[stopkissingme]

Great. Just... great.

[spongetastic]

...You going to be okay?

[stopkissingme]

I just... really don't want to be stuck on here anymore. [She sighs, pausing for a moment] I'm okay.
