02-Despite it all

[wildlionchef]

My body would like to protest me slipping out on my own, but I had to see if my boat survived at all. It didn't, unsurprisingly. I suppose there wasn't anything of value on it anyway. I don't even think any of the wood was worth saving. I feel odd, taking up space in the caves, so I'll move out. If anyone wants me to cook, feel free to ask. I

Oh no, there's plenty of space in the caves. Especially since you've just crashed ashore, you shouldn't go off by yourself ): You can come stay with me if you'd like.

[wildlionchef]

It just feels odd. Everyone here has been here much longer than me. I don't want resources wasted on an extra person. But thank you for the kind offer.

D:
We're not turning someone away just because they arrived after us. That would be-- pardon the terminology-- stupid.

[wildlionchef]

I haven't been turned away. I just don't want to burden anyone. I can fend well enough for myself. even if my body hurts

[soundpost]

And you won't ever be turned away or be a burden. You can fend for yourself and be with company at the same time, right? (:

[wildlionchef]

You're very kind. Um...Do we know each other?

[soundpost]

Thanks (:
Ahaha, I suppose not, I'm sorry! My name's Ootori Choutarou.

[wildlionchef]

Your name sounds familiar. Sorry if my question sounded rude. I'm Tachibana Kippei.

Not at all, I'm the one who jumped straight into the conversation without introductions.
Mmn~ Yes... I remember who you are. It's really been a while, hasn't it?

[wildlionchef]

Middle school, I take it? It has been a long time. Ah, what I wouldn't give to be back in Middle School.

[soundpost]

Middle school, yep. The glory days (:
I miss those years too. And high school. And the days before I decided to attend this cruise, haha.

[wildlionchef]

Heh. At least you weren't in control of the ship that shipwrecked you here!

[soundpost]

Thank goodness I wasn't, or I'd have disappeared along with the rest of the crew D:

[wildlionchef]

None of the crew made it? But the passengers did?

[soundpost]

All of the passengers seem to have escaped the ship onto the island, but since the night of the crash, we've neither seen nor heard from any of the crew. I have no idea where they are or what happened to them ):

[wildlionchef]

Scary...but you shouldn't dwell on it too much...I mean, there's nothing that can be done now.
