So nothing either way, huh? That's so strange, and since when are places like Altamira at the bottom of--

...Just how deep was that hole, anyway?

You might. Every now and then, the island holds... events, in which it messes with its residents. It's hard to describe...

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

Do I even want to ask?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

You'll probably experience it for yourself soon enough.

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

I can't wait.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Exciting, isn't it? They're mostly harmless, though.

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

It's the mostly harmless things you have to watch out for.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Yeah, more often than not, they build up into something not so harmless.

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

It won't be the first time something like that has happened, so I'll keep my eye out.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

See that you do. Aside from the events, this place can be pretty peaceful.

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

Peaceful enough for all these huts to be built. It looks like a simple fishing village. Does everyone build their own?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Yes, everything you see here has been built by the residents who were brought here. Of course, some people also brought places to live from home, but--

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

But?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

There aren't that many. Though Colonel Curtiss is one of them.

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

It doesn't seem like the huts are bad alternatives for most people. I don't know that I've met a Colonel Curtiss, though.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Ah-- he's a friend of mine. He brought along the Tartarus, a Land Dreadnaught from our world.

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

I'm just going to assume that's another... ship?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Yes, basically.

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

Ah, where I come from, the only ships large enough to accommodate people living on them for any amount of time are cargo ships, but even those aren't used that often.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Normally, people don't use the Tartarus for housing either... but it's convenient either way.

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

You have to use what you have, right? It's lucky for me that the weather is so close to Altamira's, so I at least have a few days to set up camp. Some of these huts even look abandoned-- do you think anyone would mind if I fixed one up?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Not at all, people come and go all the time. It'd be a shame if no one got use out of the abandoned ones.

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

Come and go, hm? Well, I wouldn't want them to go to waste, so I'll make good use of one while I'm here.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

There's always the inn if you'd prefer another alternative.

[sealedwitha.livejournal.com]

They have an inn? I don't think I'm carrying enough gald to stay in one, but I think I'd be happier with my own place.
