Man, now I think about it, I should have brought extra batteries with me. What a pain...

So anyway, after walking around in the Badlands for three whole days, I finally came across The Silvana. It really is "big and gray" and a little intimidating. For a while I was thinking maybe the ship was owned by a group of shady people, but when

[her braille printer's printing, and she's complaining]

People, for the last time. Do me a favor, and make voice posts. This paper isn't cheap!

[pause as she reads the braille]

And I just wasted a whole sheet. [louder] You owe me ten francs!

And no clue. A bunch.

[This is still written because he doesn't get it. Sorry.]

[birdcagephoenix]

It's my journal, and I can do whatever I want with it. Unless you've got a really good reason for telling me to use the speaker, I'm just going to do what's most comfortable for me, thanks.

And what do you mean "I just wasted a whole sheet"? And I don't owe you any francs.

Well that's specific. 10? 20? 50? 100?

[printing, complaining, then, loudly]

I'm blind! That good enough for you? My printer paper is expensive, and I had to open another pack because of you. You owe me ten francs for making me waste paper.

[It sounds as if he has just turned his speaker on. There's a long, long pause. Some shuffling can be heard.]

...oh.

I don't have much on me, but if I ever go back to Bellcius, I'll ask Mother for the money.

A ship this size? The crew itself could be as large as sixty to seventy, although I haven't seen that many around, so likely the current number is much smaller - and then however many passengers they've taken on. I haven't bothered to keep count, though, nor have I met everyone aboard yet.

[birdcagephoenix]

Huh. Agrias told me that The Silvana doesn't get passengers very often, but I figure there's bound to be more than half a dozen people on this ship. And hopefully they're not all weirdos.

By the way, who are you?

[lifetogain]

I've spoken to at least nine personally, so you would be correct. Though I've met no other passengers thus far, only crew.

Rufus Shinra. And you are?

[birdcagephoenix]

Other... passengers...?

I've met three if you can call it "meeting", spoken to one other, then there's you and whoever told me about the ship to begin with.

Luke fon Fabre. I'm a passenger.

[caesarstrike]

I have yet to meet everyone myself, but the impression I've gotten is around thirty.

[Sorry. Fixing repetition.]

[birdcagephoenix]

Thirty, huh? I guess that works. After all, it would be a pain if there were only about a dozen people on board, and I sure don't feel like helping with the cleaning or anything.

You've got a name?

[Ehehe. I do that too.]

[caesarstrike]

Akihiko Sanada. I'm a gunner here.

Who might you be?

[We should start a club. /o/;; *shot*]

[birdcagephoenix]

Luke fon Fabre. I'm a passenger.

Hey! Wait a second! You mean this airship has guns?!

What the hell are they planning to do with those?!
