[Well.  She's had better ideas.  Though she can't quite remember having this one.  Oh well.

There's the odd sound of someone ...poking the journal, and flipping the pages back and forth.  And then shaking it.]

Huh.  ...ow.

[And then a voice full of curiosity.]

Is anyone actually there?

((ooc: anyone's welcome to talk to her, though she'll be

Who's asking? [Jack sounds...a little suspicious of you?]

Voice

[lists_to_port]

[Now would be the time for the awkward explanation that, actually, he's part of Blackbeard's crew. Though he means to change that. Still--better to change the topic completely.]

Lass----where are you? Captain Jack can barely make you out, there.

Voice

[flicker_flash]

Brook says I'm in the tunnels. He's coming to get me out, though, so it's okay.

Voice

[lists_to_port]

Well that's not a proper place for a girl your age. How'd you get out there, then?

Voice

[flicker_flash]

...I'm not too sure, actually. I might have hit my head when I fell. I think I fell.

Voice

[A hesitant relief colors the pirate's voice. He has no clue when it comes to kids but he can't stand seeing them hurt.] And you say this Brook is coming for you? I'd come meself, lass, but I'm in prison, as it were. Not frightened, are you?

Voice

[flicker_flash]

Oh yes, he -- you're in prison? [That last question is totally forgotten.] Did you get arrested?

Voice

[lists_to_port]

Just a little bit arrested, lass. Mostly injured, with the tiniest bit of arrested thrown in for good measure. Now. You're not frightened; what have you to eat?

Voice

[flicker_flash]

Well...nothing, actually. Although I'm not hungry yet. [Curiouser and curiouser, though.] Were you in a fight?

Voice

[lists_to_port]

Three. Three losing fights, little one.

...

Where did you fall from, if you don't mind my asking?

Voice

[flicker_flash]

You must be a very unlucky pirate.

Ummm... [Peering up.] Off the ladder, I think.

Voice

[lists_to_port]

[Or an extremely lucky one.]

Luck's got nothing to do with it, cabin girl the second. It's choices, mostly, and waiting for the opportune moment. Weren't my fault that the Aku Kraken decided to toss me, eh? Although that was a direct consequence of my choice to engage in respectable and neighborly behavior. Hmph.

Now I might say that you are a very unlucky little girl, stranded alone in a faraway darkened tunnel after a horrid fall from a ladder, lost, alone, hungry, and frightened.

Or, I could say that those are natural consequences of certain choices and actions, and of fooling with damned fool ladders when you shouldn't.

...

Don't see any treasure down there, do you?

Voice 1/2 /died laughing at that post

[flicker_flash]

[Long, long pause.

...well, all right. It's half processing all those long words and half wondering what an Aku Kraken is.]

Voice

[flicker_flash]

...but I'm not hungry or frightened. [So there.]

There might be treasure down here. It's a little too dark to see. [But she is now peering off into the darkness, sounding rather hopeful.] I could try having a look, though.

Voice XD

[lists_to_port]

Do you have a torch?

Listen, lass--if I were you, I wouldn't venture much further without a torch. This Brook fellow--he might not be able to find you if you do that. Also, where there's treasure, there's likely the leavings of violence. Bones. Scraps of tattered clothing. Very pointy golden crowns. Could trip and impale yourself, savvy?

Voice

[flicker_flash]

Do you really think so? [Oh lord, she sounds more interested now.] I always wanted to find skeletons. Well, skeletons that didn't talk and play the violin, anyway.

[Pause, and then doubtful:] Although I would hate to fall on something sharp.

[And she can't walk anyway. Bah.]
