[a clatter, a crash: something thrown. Distant] The hell with this. There's no answers here!!

[WHAM. Journal, open! Louder, clearer.] I'm hiring a ship. No-one wants to rent me, I'm taking one. It's time to get our asses off this rock and find some new ground. Anyone with me

You're running away.

[drawled]

[eatshootsnleves]

And I'll let you know how it takes, Your Supreme Royal Majesty, but at least I'm doing something with my effort and my time.

[dynast_queen]

Roy, attempts have been made at escape and they all have met with failure. This is the only place for us.

[eatshootsnleves]

Funny, I hadn't seen any go by lately. Was that the sound of you giving up?

[pans_lullabye]

...Okay.

[In the apartment]

[eatshootsnleves]

Roy: Come with me.
Ofelia: ....Where are we going?
Roy: Out.
Ofelia: *just... kind of staring* Out?
Roy: Out of here, whereever it is that horizon leads. We came in by ship, and that's the way we'll leave.
Roy: *pause.* I... you can stay here, too. Aerith is good folk, she'd take care of you. I won't kidnap you to anywhere.
Ofelia: No, I... *Shaking her head* No. No more. I don't want to lose anyone anymore. I'm...
Ofelia: I'm tired. I don't want to be here anymore.
Roy: *kneels open-armed for a hug* Me too, kiddo. Me too.
Ofelia: *goes right into that, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and burying her face against his neck.* Don't leave me. You said you wouldn't. You promised.
Roy: I did, and I mean to keep it. *kisses her hair* There will be no leaving without you.
Ofelia: *Pulls away enough to wipe her eyes* Okay. I'm with you.
Roy: *brushes a tear from her cheek.* From here on out. My brave Superkid.

What will happen?

Re: recorded;

[eatshootsnleves]

On the journey?

No idea. That's why I'm so set on going.

[blacksnake_kasa]

Sounds interesting. Mind if I join you?

[eatshootsnleves]

At this rate we won't even be short on crew. What've you got to offer, Miss...?

[blacksnake_kasa]

Kasa.

What have I got to offer? Speed, strength, skill with a sword, and over 500 years of knowledge and experience, including almost two years spent in Rivelata.

[eatshootsnleves]

Then you're in, Kasa, and I sure hope some of that experience came out at sea. How are you with kids?

Sorry I'm late!

[rabbitcontract]

Wow, a voyage?

Sounds like an adventure. Can I tag along, please?

[eatshootsnleves]

Not another one. Can you earn your keep?
