We've looked for it a little, but we haven't really had the time to do a thorough search.

My daddy says the treasure's lost in a place with "walls painted blue as the sea and with clouds as the sky."

[demonologist]

That sounds very interesting. It's a pity we don't have more time to explore the island.

Do you happen to know why the town was abandoned?

[He hasn't met them before so forgive him if this has already been discussed. Oh and he looks like this: Wes' outfit.]

[magicpanties]

Because of pirates.

That's what usually happens to towns without Navy protection.

[demonologist]

Oh, I see.

[He eyes her with sympathy.]

I'm sorry that happened.

[magicpanties]

Why? It's not like I ever lived here. It's been abandoned as long as I've been here.

[demonologist]

Ah. Sorry I misunderstood. Where do you live, then? If you don't mind me asking?

[magicpanties]

I don't mind at all. [ As long as they don't try to... go raid her home. :( ] Our town's pretty much in the middle of the desert.

[demonologist]

Do you have an oasis there? I would expect it would be difficult to have a sustainable water supply, otherwise. Unless there are traders who bring supplies.

[magicpanties]

We do, but it's mostly dried up right now.

[demonologist]

Do you have to go elsewhere for it then? Our crew may need to find a fresh supply ourselves.

[magicpanties]

That's what we're here for. A ship's coming by to drop off supplies for us.

This one lady [ and here Trucy makes a motion over her ears, trying to mime that her ears were long and pointy ] said you guys could probably bargain for some supplies off of them too.

[demonologist]

That sounds like a good idea. We have quite a bit, but it's good to stockpile some things. Food and water especially. There's no telling how long we're going to be on our journey.

So, have you explored for the treasure yet? I presume it hasn't been found yet.

[If it exists at all.]

[magicpanties]

I've poked around some. I haven't found a place like daddy described, though.

[percepts]

[ curiously ] Really? Why'd you put them up in a place like this, if no one's ever here to see them? Except... us, I guess.

"Walls painted blue as the sea..." Wow, it sounds really exciting and mysterious. This place doesn't look like it could hold a room like that, though.

[magicpanties]

This is where I usually wait for our supplies to come in.

[percepts]

Oh...! Who brings your supplies? Do they have to come from far away? It must get tiring living in a desert.

What do you think the treasure might be?
