[notaninnocent]

H-hello? Can… can anyone hear me? Um… th-thank you for bringing me here. I really do appreciate it, I swear, but if I could somehow get back to London, that would be wonderful. I'll be missed, you see, by my, ah… fiancé. I know it sounds strange, saying thank you for being taken from somewhere, then asking to go back, but the thing… the thing is…

Oh

Yeah, this is First Mate Kage and you're on board the Elegante. We're headed to the Golden Shore, and all you gotta do is relax. Right now, you gotta relax in your room on account of the killer we got runnin' around.

Welcome aboard.

Done :>

[notaninnocent]

Oh, a ship? That's quite-

[Wait what.]

...Killer? Y-You mean t-t-to say there's a murderer here?

Oh dear Lord...

yaaay :>

[shenghuanzhe]

There's quite a number, actually. Just stay in your room until the crew handles this, girlie.

/o/

[notaninnocent]

[And suddenly everything makes sense.]

This is a prison ship, isn't it? B-but I'm not a convict, I swear! I haven't done anything wrong. I just want to be free.

Actually, everyone can hear you over this thing. It's a bit like a radio or a telegraph, if you know what those are.

But listen to the First Mate, and don't leave your room until someone says otherwise.

[notaninnocent]

[Well, she doesn't know what those things are, but it's not too difficult to grasp the basic idea. You talk into the little device, and people hear you... through other little devices, maybe?]

Oh, I see! I think. Um... I'm sorry if I disturbed you, I didn't mean to.

Could you please tell me how I got here? I just don't see how I could have been put on a boat without realising it.

[canttrustliars]

The simplest way to explain it is "magic".

[notaninnocent]

But magic doesn't exist.

[shesagift]

poor unfortunate soul

[notaninnocent]

Excuse me?

[shesagift]

Little bird got her wings clipped?

[notaninnocent]

Y-yes.

[It sounds as is this girl knows about everything, but surely she can't! It must simply be babbling, like the rants of the women in the asylum. Babbling that just happens to sound like it has something to do with her. The poor girl... it must be terrible to be insane.]

What's your name?

[teethofneedles]

Welcome to th' Hellship. Enjoy the rest of your life.

[notaninnocent]

Oh dear. This is some sort of prison ship, isn't it? It must be; the First Mate was talking about all sorts of murderers being here.

I really do need to get back to London, though. I'm not a convict!

[ttlynotawizard]

Welcome! Well...sort of. Not the best time to come into things, I'm afraid.

[notaninnocent]

So I've been told. Is... is there really a murderer on the loose? Because if there is... well, I just can't see how staying in our rooms will help. Won't that just make it easier for the killer? He or she will know where we all are!
