Brook wasn't the only one lost, as Iris was having a bit of trouble getting acquainted with her new ship. Actually, she had never been on a ship before, and since this ship was so much bigger than Hazakura Temple...

"Where was the infirmary again...?" Iris muttered to herself, but something else caught her attention. Sweet music, coming from down the hall. Who was playing that? She had to find out, if only to compliment them. So Iris followed the sound, which lead her to the ship's mess hall.

Opening the door, Iris poked her head through and smiled when she found the source of the sound: A... rather bony looking man, playing a violin. Oh, how wonderful!

"You play so well!" Iris smiled as she stepped into the room. It wasn't too clear if she didn't notice that Brook was a walking skeleton or if the sight didn't faze her.

It was probably the former.

Brook played a few more bars, finishing that song about a boy having a fiddle competition with a demon that everyone seemed to like, then stopped so he could talk to the woman who had just entered.

He stood, and then doffed his hat and bowed. "Yohoho, thank you, but I am just an amateur. And rusty, at that - I have not had the chance to play for a good long while, until recently."

Brook straightened, and stepped forward, extending his bony hand to the young lady, now only feet away, for a handshake. "My name is Brook, and I am new to the 4423. Would you happen to know where the radio room is located?"

It was only after Brook introduced himself and straightened himself out that Iris finally took note that he was... rather than being just skin and bones, he seemed to be just bones. She thought he had a rather peculiar air about him, but Iris didn't say anything as she happily accepted his handshake. That would have been impolite, after all.

"It's very nice to meet you, Brook," Iris smiled, but she frowned just the slightest when he mentioned being lost. "Oh, I ... I wish I could help you, but I'm a bit lost myself. This ship is much bigger than my home."

She blinked, realizing she had forgotten to introduce herself.

"Oh, excuse me. My name is Iris, and I'm the healer for this ship. Perhaps we can go look together?"

Brook considered his options. People were bound to show up in the mess eventually, but...the opportunity to get on the healer's good side wasn't something he wanted to pass up. After all, she'd be the one most likely to be able to take note of his...unique condition.

"Certainly, Miss Iris. Perhaps we should look for the infirmary first - if something were to happen to someone before you could get there, it would be a *bone*-afied mess!" He clacked his teeth together, to emphasize his awful joke with the best approximation of a smile he could make.

Placing his fiddle in its case, he tucked it under his left arm, then picked up the cane he had left leaning against a table.

"Shall we begin?"
