what if we just
got a big boat and sailed across the horizon
what do you think wed find there

weve been on this island for so long
just this tiny little island
there has to be more than wyver and olympia right?
this world is a big planet

if wyver and olympia are having problems
why dont we just try to leave?

Comments

[insist]

Okay. I guess I can wait. Do you have experience with this? In seafaring.

[ayes]

yeah a little bit
i mean ive never done a full overseas voyage or anything but i grew up by the sea
my dads a ship captain
so i did a little sailing and i know the basics

[insist]

I see. I have traveled on cruisers but I have never managed one. It might be interesting to learn about it, especially if I'm going to write a 'Stranded' story one day.

Do you own a boat?

[ayes]

no id have to get one somehow
idk im still just kinda working this idea out

are you a writer or something

[insist]

A ship would cost a small fortune, though I could have easily afforded one back then. Do you have the funds?

Much more than that. I not only write the story, but draw the art. I'm a manga artist.

[ayes]

no i was thinking we could put our money together or something

and thats really cool that youre a manga artist
i do some sketches for clothes ideas
well i did back home i dont really do it here

and its a lot of work so you must work really hard!

[insist]

If you can show me you're serious about the idea, I don't mind investing. [ Not that he has a lot of money at the moment, but he wants to go exploring!! ]

Of course. I used to work tirelessly to provide Shueisha with a perfected manuscript. Unfortunate that Olympia doesn't have a very big market for manga.

Are you interested in art?

[ayes]

you could probably sell it to a few people im sure even if there isn't a big market for it i did more sketching im more interested in like designing cute clothes and making them than like paintings if that counts as art

[insist]

From my experience to date, a lot of potential buyers would rather I draw them some porn.

Fashion design is a form of art. You would also make these?

[ayes]

[She's not going to touch the first part.] yeah I do! I work at a tailors back home i was in a musical group with my friends and i designed the stage costumes and sewed them

[insist]

It's one thing to design the clothes ... I suppose having the dedication to bring that design into the material world can be called admirable.

Are you any good at what you do? You should show me.

[ayes]

thanks for saying that
idk i think im ok
the costumes work well

a lot of them got destroyed in the riots but i can try showing you whats left

[insist]

Those riots ... [ He's heard of them but just missed them. Things seem relatively calm right now. ]

Alright. Let's see them then.

[ayes]

what like
right now?
i dont have it on me most of them are in the shop

ive got like one here at my house thats all

[insist]

Then show me that. [ he's impatient, so hurry!! ]

[ayes]

ok ok hang on!!

[And she sends a picture of an outfit.]

[insist]

Oh. You really made that from scratch?

[ayes]

yeah ofc i designed and sewed it is it really that hard to believe??

[insist]

I'm trying to say that the worksmanship is ... impressive. I've got no reason not to believe you.

[ if she's the model, she does look young, but rohan became a published mangaka at 17, so ... ]

Will you do a custom request for someone else?

[ayes]

oh thanks and yeah sure my hands still not at 100% but i dont think itd be too much of a problem what do you want

[insist]

Just a few garments. It's not easy to find clothing in the style I like.

What happened to your hands?

[ayes]

uh







stuff

[insist]

I've heard about some recent kidnappings, but I was not present for them. Were your hands hurt there?

[ but he won't pry too much either. there's nothing to be gained by it. ]

[ayes]

yeah
thats what happened

just one hand but im right handed so it wasnt that bad

[insist]

Were you kidnapped yourself?
