[From the journal system comes the voice of a rather angry young lady. Her words are clipped, English, though her German accent is a little more prominent than usual.]

This is a sick fucking joke, isn't it. First it's a boat, then a stupid island and now, a castle. My God the creativity is just skyrocketing today.

[That is some delicious monotone ( Read more... )

weird shit is being fucking weird, this isn't funny, what the crap is going on

[What a curious name. Not as strange as others, but still, definitely unique. Bryn is a little intimidated, but it's her accent that draws Bryn into replying.]

Wh-who are you looking for, exactly?

[With even more hesitance, Bryn adds in German.]

Perhaps I have heard their name?

graparu July 16 2011, 05:06:18 UTC

[Grapple pauses. Not only is that a voice she's heard before, but it's also speaking German.]

Oh... huh.

Uh, Sean, Patrick... Hell, anyone from that stupid boat.

[She frowns at the journal.]

Hey, do I know you?

brynkitten July 16 2011, 05:12:56 UTC

[Now it's Bryn's turn to pause. How odd. Another person who seems familiar with her. Unfortunately, Bryn is quite sure she would remember the name Grapple.]

I do not believe so, but my name is Bryn and it's nice to meet you...Grapple.

[Bryn's beginning to think that her voice is just one of those kinds that sounds like someone else to everyone.]

As for your friends, I haven't heard anyone by those names yet, but I'll be sure to keep an ear out for them in case they do arrive. You were all on a boat together?

[So she's alone again, for now at least. Grapple sits on the edge of her bed.]

Fuck. Okay, hi Bryn.

I was in Germany. Got into an accident with a truck and when I woke up, I was on a ship. The last I recall, we'd made landfall and things weren't so crash hot.

And now I wake up here.

... Boat?

graparu July 16 2011, 08:32:00 UTC

[Now that's a voice she's heard before.]

...You too?

[OH IRONHIDE. PLEASE BE YOU. ;A;]

heavyweaponsbot July 16 2011, 16:04:14 UTC

Yeah. Me too.

[He huffs -- but it's more like a sigh.]

And a few others. Not many.

graparu July 16 2011, 22:13:08 UTC

Well, if there's a few of us, then there's bound to be more of us out there. Maybe they just haven't got here yet.

[She knows exactly how he feels.]

Or something.

Would this boat happen to go by the name of the M.S. Elegante?

[audio - german :D] graparu July 16 2011, 08:32:54 UTC

...It would, yeah.

[audio - GERMAAAAN] sacredbrand July 16 2011, 08:35:50 UTC

Then you're another of Redd's flock. I don't know if we have met, but I was on the same ship. My name is Nel.

[audio - GERMAAAAN] graparu July 16 2011, 08:38:58 UTC

If you're here, and I'm here... then there's more of us, right? You haven't seen an Irish guy and a man called Patrick around... have you? Or Marco?

[Come on, everyone knew Marco.]

Oh, and I'm Grapple.

[She already said that, but there's some hope that her friends are here as well.]

If anymore mons from that boat show up here I'm gonna start thinking that this is another one of Redd's tricks.

[Audio + Translated Text] graparu July 16 2011, 22:17:57 UTC

Now that's a voice I remember. Don't think we ever met, but I've heard you around. How many of us are there?

[Audio + Translated Text] drinkuntilidie July 16 2011, 22:26:44 UTC

Looks like everyone recognizes me. Guess that makes me a bit of a celebrity.

[He's sure it has nothing to do with the fact that he has one of the most distinctive accents from the boat.]

Of us from the boat? Only a handful.

[Audio + Translated Text] graparu July 16 2011, 22:30:26 UTC

Hrm.

[That is depressing news.]

Got a list of who..?

[Talia doesn't understand German, unfortunately, although the meaning is known well enough even without specifics.]

The Elegante, I'd wager? Seems a few of us have been pulled to this place from the Shore. I'm Talia, mate of Kevas .. Who are you looking for? [because .. yeah .. German ain't all that easy to understand, yo.]

graparu July 16 2011, 22:22:18 UTC

[It's alright Talia. She's speaking English and it's awesome English at that. Hats off to being bilingual!]

That's the one. I'm Grapple, looking for Sean Ivers, Marco Devera and Patrick Finnegan... or anyone, really.

[Audio --> Video] thequeensown July 16 2011, 23:29:25 UTC

[The swear words are some of the easiest to pick up in any language. :) Honestly, she's not sure if she is happy or sad to hear from another of the boat dwellers. Her sigh is soft but audible and with a quick shift her response changes to video and she shakes her head.]

I'm sorry, Grapple .. I haven't seen any sign of Marco here, nor of the others. Joseph Ivers is here .. and he has made mention of his brother, but .. It's not the same person we knew on the Elegante.. His mannerisms and much else are the same, but he is different..

[Audio --> Video] graparu July 18 2011, 09:36:44 UTC

...Joe's here but he's not... Joe? An alternate, you mean?

[She'd heard about those on the Elegante, but had never expected it to hit so close to home.]

Well, maybe I can track him down and try talking to him anyway. I kinda wanna know if his uh... history matches with mine.

[A shame Grapple and Joe will never get the chance to talk.]
