DEAR WHOEVER FINDS THIS,
SO I WAS WALKING THROUGH THE FOREST BEHIND MY COTTAGE, WHEN I NOTICED THIS LARGE, OLD LOOKING WALL:
OF COURSE, I HAD TO INVESTIGATE. I’M A GHOSTFACER; IT’S WHAT I DO. SO I WENT UP CLOSE AND CHECKED IT OUT, CROSSING OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OUT OF CURIOSITY. THAT’S WHEN I FOUND MYSELF HERE, SUDDENLY:
IT’S THIS BIZARRE MARKET PLACE THAT SELLS…WELL. EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER POSSIBLY WANT. INCLUDING SOME PRETTY STRANGE STUFF. LIKE, SAY, MINITURE FLYING ELEPHANTS, FOR EXAMPLE. IT'S HERE THAT I RAN INTO NICK, AKA, THE SIREN. -_-
WE WANDERED AROUND HERE FOR AWHILE, AND NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE STUCK OUT LIKE SORE THUMBS. THAT’S WHEN THIS GUY FOUND US:
HIS NAME IS CAPTAIN SHAKESPEARE, AND HE RUNS A CREW THAT SPECIALIZES IN LIGHTNING, OF ALL THINGS. HE, UH, “OFFERED TO BUY US DRINKS,” BY WHICH I MEAN, HE LED US ONTO HIS SHIP AND HELD US HOSTAGE:
OR SO I THOUGHT. TURNS OUT, HIS TOUGH ACT IS JUST FOR SHOW. HE’S ACTUALLY REALLY NICE. AND HE LOOKS DAMN GOOD IN THE FANCY WARDROBE HE KEEPS IN THE CAPTAIN’S QUARTERS:
BUT DON’T TELL HIM I TOLD YOU THAT. HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A REPUTATION TO UPKEEP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ANYWAY, I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT I’LL BE GONE FOR AWHILE. THE CAPTAIN SAID HE NEEDED “ONE OF MY KIND” FOR HELP WITH SOMETHING. WHATEVER THAT MEANS. SO I’M TRAVELING WITH THEM FOR AWHILE. I’LL BE BACK IN A FEW DAYS.
CAN SOMEONE MAKE SURE PERCY AND CROOKSHANKS ARE DOING OKAY? I HATE TO ASK, BUT I’M NOT GOING TO BE HOME FOR A BIT, SO I HAVE TO.
OH SHIT. I HAVE TO GO. THE CAPTAIN NEEDS ME ON URGENT BUSINESS.
LOVE,
ED
(OOC: I’m going on vacation until the 29th, when I move back into college! So I needed an excuse for Ed to be away, lol. If you haven’t seen the movie Stardust yet, you really, really should. It’s one of my favorite movies, and I figured I’d use it somehow in having Ed disappear for a bit. Also, th_siren is also going to be away for awhile.)
