[A hoe was a little mad, what can I say?]

Date of Origin: Monday, 19th July 2021

[The Island of Treasured Gold]

M: *grabs Y/n by the arm, dragging her towards the pit* "I'm sorry, little one."

Y/n: *struggles to get free* "Captain, please!"

M: "The hardest choices require the strongest wills." *lets her go*

Y/n: *screams* "Magnum!"

[Back on the ship]

M: *sitting with his head in his hands, Y/n's broken body lying in front on him*

Y/n: (Unknown voice) "Magnum?"

M: *head snaps upright* "What? Who said that?"

Y/n: "I'm right in front of you, dickbag."

M: "I can't see ya! Reveal yerself!"

Y/n: "Hm, what about this?"

*Magnum's drink flies out of his hand*

M: "Witchcraft, it must be! Show yerself, witch!"

Y/n: *rolls her eyes* "You don't recognise the voice of your own first mate?"

M: *eyes widen* "I must have truly lost me mind this time. Y/n?"

Y/n: *sarcastically* "Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner."

M: "How?"

Y/n: "Apparently, I'm a ghost. I've got unfinished business." *begins to pace, slowly becoming visible as Magnum watches in horror* "You know, it really sends mixed messages when you tell someone that you see them as a child of your own, and then chuck them down a fucking pit!" *yells in his face*

M: *widened eyes, staring at her*

Y/n: *scowl loosens, moving her hand in front of her face*

M: *eyes following her hand*

Y/n: "I take it you can see me then?"

M: *nods slowly*

Y/n: *crosses her legs midair, sighing* "It's a start, I suppose. You feel like explaining this?" *turns the reveal the giant bleeding crack in the back of her skull*

M: *stuttering*

Y/n: *sighs, turning back* "Never mind."

M: "How?"

Y/n: "Fucked if I know." *arms behind her head, just floating* "Probably just in processing. My soul, that is. Bureaucrats, man, can't live with em, can't live without em either. Can't eat, can't sleep. It's an eternal snooze fest." *sits up* "So what've you been up to?"

M: "We found another map."

Y/n: "That better have not been the treasure."

M: *laughs sheepishly*

Y/n: *grits her teeth* "I died... for a piece of god damned paper!?" *grips the side of the ship, wood splintering under her palms* *looks down* "Well. At least I can't get splinters anymore." *whirls around* "What's the map for?"

M: "An uncharted island in the Red Sea. It holds a wish-granting spirit. Infinite gold, here we come!"

Y/n: *frowns* "How many wishes do you get?"

M: "Only one, lass."

Y/n: *hums noncommittally* "How far?"

M: "Two days, due north."

Y/n: "Well, I'll be there when you find it. Not that I have much of a choice."

M: "An amount of gold that never ends!"

Y/n: *heart aches* "...Yeah. I'm going to get some rest."

M: "G'night, lass!" *continues to mutter about gold*

Y/n: "Night, Mags."
