Grace had had several trinkets she found precious, but few that she would simply lock away to keep in the sand. It wasnā€™t as if she could keep anything she found on the island, not even the precious pieces of sea glass.Ā 
ā€œI donā€™t think so. I think pirates would likely kill me if I tried to send anything out to sea anyhow,ā€ she replied. Yet she couldnā€™t contain her curiosity.Ā ā€œDo you have a knife to see if you can pry it open? I might have some craft pliers in Tulach House.ā€

.Ā 

Simply huffing a small laugh, Devyn shook her head.Ā ā€œSure now you would get in trouble for it.ā€ She couldnā€™t think about her own things that she threw out to the ocean, most of them having to do with her parents and just wanting to get rid of the memory. Itā€™s why she was much more interested in the box she was holding than to see what was inside.Ā 

ā€œRule number 3...ā€ She started to say as she leaned down to grab the knife that was always secretly hidden on her right calf.Ā ā€œ...never leave without a knife.ā€ Moving to place the box on the rock - she started to fumble with the lock. It was rusted and sealed shut.Ā ā€œMight need something more heavy-duty than just a pair of craft pliers.ā€ Thinking of the tools she has at her villa from putting up a few decorations and shelves.Ā 

ā€œI have somethings back at my villa if you would like to join me?ā€Ā

Ingrid eyes got wide as she nodded her head.Ā ā€œOh yes please. I like horror way too much. Iā€™ve made some of my fatherā€™s advisors uncomfortable what Iā€™ve watched on the jet. Honestly, thatā€™s half the fun.ā€ She watched the video, laughing harder than she had in a long time.Ā ā€œThis is brilliant,ā€ she said brightly.Ā ā€œI thought only Weird Al did parodies but this is great.ā€Ā

.Ā 

Devyn couldnā€™t lie, she was surprised that a royal would like horror so much but it made showing her the video that much more sweeter. Only someone who could truly appreciate both the Backstreet Boys and horror films would love and appreciate the parody video of Iā€™ll Kill You That Way. Watching her reaction as she bit the inside of her cheek so she could prevent herself from signing along, she still laughed along with the princess.

Pulling her phone back and shutting it off, her smile never vanished.Ā ā€œThought so too but this was something I was more than happy to stumble on. Do have to admit that I sing this version more now than the original.ā€ She confessed as she held out her hand.Ā 

ā€œIā€™m Devyn.ā€Ā

Ever since the bonfire event Miles felt extremely tense. Lives could have been lost had the proper measures been executed minutes too late. While he tried not to dwell on things that were out of his control, he couldnā€™t help but feel uneasy still. When his phone dinged and he saw it was Devyn, a smile moved to his lips. They had an enjoyable time bartending together at the Pier during the bonfire.Ā 
[ text to Devyn ] That sounds really good. My mind is still all over the place. Iā€™ll pick the movie!
When a knock came to his door a short time later, Miles opened it up to see Devyn standing there with the promised whiskey in hand.Ā ā€œHey you! You didnā€™t have to knock. Come in, come in,ā€ he gestured, stepping back from his villa door to allow her to enter.Ā ā€œNo Dex?ā€ He asked, quirking his brow. Miles moved into the kitchen to retrieve two of his favorite whiskey glasses.Ā ā€œOn the rocks or neat?ā€ He asked, filling his own glass with ice. It was terribly hot these last few days on the island, so a cold drink was warranted for the Captain.

.Ā 

Smiling at the captain, she walked passed the threshold and huffed lightly at what he said.Ā ā€œI donā€™t think it would be such a smart move to just barge in on a Tulachā€™s villa.ā€ She said.Ā ā€œEven if you were expecting me.ā€ Also because she didnā€™t want to barge in case he was changing or something. Sheā€™s made that mistake once...and she didnā€™t want to make it again.Ā  Following him to the kitchen with the bottle, she leaned on the counter.Ā ā€œUh, neat.ā€ Devyn answered as she started to open the bottle and only took the glasses from him once he got ice for his own cup. Filling his first, she handed it over to Miles before filling up her own.Ā 

ā€œEver tried a mint julep?ā€ She asked as she moved the bottle away from the counterā€™s edge and faced the other.Ā ā€œItā€™s one drink I havenā€™t tried but have been wanting to.ā€Ā

Matt sighed,Ā ā€œIf only all those years of playing Fallout actually taught me how to pick a lock. Do you think those bobby things you put in your hair can do the trick?ā€ He asked, thinking of anything thin enough that can go in there. A paperclip might be too thin.Ā ā€œā€Yeah, lets go see if we can get that lock off. If we canā€™t pick it maybe I can try to pry it off.ā€ He didnā€™t think sheā€™d want to split but,Ā ā€œNice! Watch it be something we canā€™t split evenly. Then weā€™ll need to mud wrestle for it.ā€ He winked at her as they went in the direction of her villa. Devā€™s pup walked alongside them during their walk.
ā€œThanks. Iā€™m still a little shocked by it. At the same time I have been putting more in and shown just how committed I am to our crew and the Tulachs. I kinda want to take another step and cut back on the drinking. Itā€™s been better but I still have those nights where I have a few too many.ā€
image
.Ā 

ā€œIf we are going by tricks weā€™ve seen on TV - then I should be an expert with how constant I watch Supernatural.ā€ Devyn laughed, but she sincerely wanted to see if he could pick a lot from just playing Fallout.Ā ā€œBut yeah, I do - at my villa.ā€ She answered in regards to having bobby pins; she didnā€™t use them often but every girl needs them - that and safety pins.Ā ā€œYou would to mud wrestle if it is something we can evenly split.ā€ She teased lightly, not that she was completely opposed. Itā€™s been a while since sheā€™s been involved in a fight and could definitely use a wrestling match just to keep up on her skills.Ā 

Making their way towards the East Villas, she listened to her friend.Ā ā€œWell, itā€™s a good thing that he did notice how much youā€™ve stepped up but donā€™t be too hard on yourself, Matt. You are one of the most dedicated pirates to the Tulach fleet.ā€ Not blowing smoke up his ass, she was being sincere in her words.Ā ā€œEven though this isnā€™t a full out vacation - itā€™s not like we arenā€™t all taking advantage of this small break. Miles wouldnā€™t have given you the position if he thought you didnā€™t deserve it and was just going to fuck off.ā€ Being a first mate - there were more responsibilities than what most would believe there is, and perhaps it is a little different seeing how her own captain wasnā€™t on the island with her and hisĀ was.Ā 

ā€œDonā€™t overthink it and youā€™ll be great.ā€ She said lastlyĀ before opening the door to her villa.Ā ā€œBut also donā€™t let what I said get to your head. I still keep my knives handy.ā€ Taunting him was part of their friend description.Ā ā€œCome on - I have some snacks I need help to get rid of.ā€Ā  Entering and closing the door after him, she placed the little treasureĀ box on the table before walking towards her bathroom. It wasnā€™t like she needed to tell him to make himself feel at home, heā€™s been over enough times to know just to do so. Grabbing a few bobby pins, she went back to the living room giving them to Matt.Ā ā€œWant a beer? Or anything to drink?ā€Ā

Grace, Archived Convo

A phone had been heaven. Out of nothing but habit, sheā€™d logged in a schedule to the calendar. Even if it was unnecessary as of late, it gave Grace some semblance of control over her life. She took small comfort in the buzzing reminders to be at the Canteen for food or to be at the library. Another small comfort was the songs she was allowed to play on low. Grace hadnā€™t realized just how much she missed it, save for the piano sheā€™d played over at the Tulach House, or the guitar sheā€™d found and tuned. It muddled her thoughts in a way she hadnā€™t felt in over a year and a half. It had no other access to the internet, no way for her to keep up on the latest news of her life back home. Ben could be king now for all she knew.
Grace instead hummed to herself as she made her way down the coastline, some silly show tune from her childhood playing low on the speaker. She spotted the foreign box in the pirateā€™s hand as she edged closer and she couldnā€™t resist peering over.Ā ā€œLooks like some keepsake,ā€ she commented.
image
.Ā 

Hearing a voice behind her, she automatically stood to her find...the mysterious box still in her clutches. Devyn couldnā€™t help but to look at the damn thing as if the key would just mysteriously appear before her, or the lock came undone. Nope...still locked. How clique did it really look? A pirate hunting and finding treasure...not realizing it from her talons. Finders keepers, right? Besides sheā€™s deadly curious to see what was inside.Ā 

ā€œSeems precious enough for the person to lock it and apparently eat the key.ā€ She commented back, not actually joking about the key part. Seemed now like she was going on her deep diveĀ adventure to find the thing first. Itā€™ll open one way or another and she was going to be the one toĀ open it.Ā 

Clearing her throat she shifted her feet,Ā ā€œHave you ever kept something so precious to yourself in a locked box to only loose it...or toss it out to the sea?ā€Ā

During his amblings on the beach Matt saw a familiar pup in the distance, which meant Dev was close by. As the dogs ran over to someone he recognized her backside.Ā ā€œDev! Hey girl! What you up to?ā€ He asked as he picked up the pace and jogged over to where there stood. Mattā€™s gaze dropped to an object in her hand and how wet sand stuck to parts of it.Ā ā€œWhat you go there?ā€ His nosiness always got the better of him and after his question the lock in front of the box slowly got the cogs turning.Ā ā€œDid you just find that?ā€
image
.

Hearing a familiar voice, she turned and a smile lifted on the first mateā€™s features.Ā ā€œI have no idea - suppose the tides washed it in but I canā€™t open it. Wanna come over and see if we can get it open?ā€ She asked. She didnā€™t know how to describe their relationship, all she could say is that it was hard for anyone to notĀ enjoy their time around Matt. So, long as you donā€™t his sometimes childish comments to heart. Suppose that was why he had a mark on his leg caused by her.Ā ā€œWe can splitĀ whatever is inside.ā€ She offered...before there was something she remembered she never got around to saying to him.Ā 

ā€œOh, and I hear Miles finally stepped upĀ and made you his first mate. Heard a congratulations are in order?ā€Ā

ā€œYour secret is safe with me,ā€ she said with a chuckle. She could keep any boy band secret.Ā ā€œI love them. When I was younger I used to run around singing both them and NSYNC. My brothers made so much fun of me.ā€ She couldnā€™t help but laugh at the memory, something twisting in her when she thought of her family. While she was thankful Isak was there, she still missed her blood family.Ā ā€œWhatā€™s your favorite song by them?ā€
image
.

GrittingĀ her teeth in thought, she sincerely thought about her question but was coming up blank.Ā ā€œI think itā€™s impossible to have a favorite for either band, butĀ the song I did screamĀ on top of my lungs was Shape of my Heart.ā€ She answered...kind-of. Pulling out her phone she took it upon herself to enter her room and sit on the edge of her bed, pulling up a video of a parody of the I Want it That Way by the Slasher BoysĀ - or really Iā€™ll Kill You That Way.Ā The first time she watched and heard it, she nearly died of laughter.Ā 

ā€œDonā€™t know how much you like...horrorĀ or even parodies but you should watch this.ā€Ā

Arielle,Ā  [ completed ]Ā 

It was a nice offer, even coming from a pirate but as she said, she had a huge respect for the ocean, and sometimes she feared it. Ā Hesitating a little, she looked at the girl in front of her and shook her head. ā€œEven if itā€™s a nice offer, Iā€™d have to decline, as I said, I have a huge respect for the ocean and if I have to be honest, I also fear itā€
As she offered half of a sandwich, she nodded, Arielle was someone who would never deny food.
image
.Ā 

Giving the princess the other half of the sandwich, she enjoyed the food as she stared out to the ocean, in silence. It was only a tad awkward but it also wasnā€™t like she was going to strike up a conversation with someone who she didnā€™t feel like wanted to talk back to her. Than again, she should have figured - considering she was hiddenĀ in the corner as she watched other people have the fun.Ā 

Eventually clearing her throat, she packed up her belongings her her backpackĀ before forcing a smile towards the princess.Ā ā€œEnjoy the sandwich! See you around.ā€ She simply said as she stood and walked back to the bar she was tending at with one of the Tulachs.Ā

Wren, - Archived Convo

Wren nodded in response to Devynā€™s question.Ā ā€œI would like thatā€ she said with a soft smile. Since she was going to be on the island for the foreseeable future she might as well get the lay of the land, so to speak.Ā ā€œI wouldnā€™t want to accidentally wander off into the jungle.ā€ She couldnā€™t even begin to imagine what sort of things lived in there.
The blonde nodded again.Ā ā€œI can manage that muchā€ she assured the pirate. Wren might have been a princess, but she liked to think she wasnā€™t a spoiled brat. She at least knew how to keep her room clean and respect other peopleā€™s boundaries.Ā ā€œDo you have any rules about having people over?ā€ Wren was thinking it might be more convenient to spend time with her sister at Devynā€™s villa than the big house.
image
.

Devyn grinned and nodded at the other in regards to giving the princess a tour of the island. Perhaps it was because she was used to the island that Tulach Island wasnā€™t enormous but she isnā€™t lying when she said that eventually itā€™ll be easy to know where everything is. So, as you actually pay attention.Ā ā€œSure, we can start with the Pier. Since itā€™s closer.ā€ She said as she turned on her heels as she walked over towards the Pier.Ā 

Thinking about the question as they continued to walk, she shook her head.Ā ā€œBasic as the other rules. They have to abide by the same ones as you. And just tell me who is coming over and if they are spending the night over.ā€ She stated.Ā ā€œIā€™m an easy person to get along with, despite what most would think or hear. Itā€™s really just, common courtesy rules that I have.ā€ She simply shrugged.Ā ā€œAs for anything that you need I can get you whatever you need, wantĀ is something that youā€™ll have to earn. I wonā€™t spoil you but I wonā€™t deprive you either.ā€

ā€œThank you,ā€ Leilani hums at the offer, following Devyn towards her villa.Ā ā€œLetā€™s just hope I get no boredom hunger while Iā€™m hereā€¦ because then I just might have to take all the food from your villa,ā€ Teeth gnawed onto her lower lip, a small smile pulling up one side of her mouth. Leilani tried her hardest to fall back into old habits with Devyn, but it seemed harder than it should. There was something in the back of her mind that just kept reminding her that Devyn left without a word, and there truly should be no forgiveness for that. Nodding in an attempt to show the brunette that she understood, Leilani racked her brain for any questions that she may be able to run by Devyn.Ā ā€œUhm,ā€ Holding out the last syllable, her nose scrunched.Ā ā€œDo you think that Iā€™ll get used to being here? I understand that I havenā€™t been here for long butā€¦ it feels like ages.ā€
image

Ā  Ā HuffingĀ a small laugh, Devyn looked over at Leilani.Ā ā€œThe only one who would have a problem with that is Dex.ā€ She lightly teased but also being somewhat serious in the matter. She wasnā€™t a big foodie, hell most of herĀ food is something she shares with her beloved pup. Drinks - alcoholic and nonalcoholic on the other hand. Well, letā€™s just say itā€™s more of a 70% of drinks and 30% of food that occupy her kitchen. But put chips or candy in front of her and sheā€™ll love you for the rest of her life.Ā  Ā  Ā Walking into the canteen, she still gave the Australian princess her full attention. Only looking away at her question just because she doesnā€™t really know how to really answer it.Ā ā€œIt depends, I would suppose. Most it takes them weeks but Iā€™ve seen some cases where they seem to adjust in a matter of a few days.ā€ Simply shrugging she shook her head.Ā ā€œI will be here for you to help your adjustment period in anyway that I can. All you need to do is ask.ā€ Devyn became more determined to be there for the first person she fell for rather than just abandoning her like she did years ago.

ā€œI could jump down and break my ankle, also,ā€ she offered with a scoff. She wasnā€™t even certain how sheā€™d gotten up there. A small walk to clear her head later and sheā€™d ended up there. She looked up as the pirate ended up on the wall alongside her and her teeth worried her lip.Ā ā€œJustā€¦be careful, yeah?ā€Ā 
She braced herself on the rock to see if she could crane upwards anymore.Ā ā€œCan you lower anymore? I can almost reach you.ā€
image
.

It was kind of rich - a trapped royal telling a pirate to be careful but considering she very could possibly get herself in the same position, so, she just ignoredĀ making any sort of comments about it.Ā  Wrapping her legs around the thick branch, she just hoped it wasnā€™t a devious one where he seemed and acted steady but when push came to shove it would break. So, far it was strong with holding her steady as Devyn pushed herself up just a little more just so she could reach down further.Ā 

ā€œJump if you have to. Iā€™ll catch you...trust me Iā€™m stronger than I look. Trust me.ā€ She called out.Ā ā€œYouā€™ll do more than justĀ break your ankle if you decide to jump off of here.ā€

New rules were settling in the island and she saw more royals with their phones in their hands. They were only able to text those who where on the island and listen to Spotify and to a degree, Devyn couldnā€™t fault them for wanting to escape their realities in some music - or laugh with the person they were messaging. Perhaps it was because she was able to use her own phone whenever she had wanted with more to do that she was boredĀ with her phone - or she really just preferred living in reality, breathing in the fresh air. Walking towards the coves, her guard being on alert after what happened only a few days or so ago. There was something the reflected in her gaze - her curiosity struck and walked over to it.Ā  Brushing the sand away from the object, it was a box.... Such a damn cliche a pirate uncovering treasure. However there was a lock. Thus when she picked it up and pulled against the lock. looking over at Dex she sighed.Ā 

ā€œHow lucky would we have to be for there to be a key around here, huh boy?ā€Ā

Ingrid wasnā€™t sure what the catch was with the phones. She wasnā€™t going to ask and she hoped that wouldnā€™t be her downfall. It didnā€™t connect to the outside world but she could have music. That alone was worth the risk. She was in her room at the Tulach house, listening to the 90ā€²s pop station she had on as she tidied up. She realized after she had been singing for a while that someone was in her doorway. She looked up, chuckling softly. ā€œBoy bands are infectious. I canā€™t apologize for it.ā€

Coming from the Tulach House after filling out the proper paperwork saying that she was claimingĀ Wren Warwick, Devyn was headed over to her villa just to see if there was anything the New Zealand princess needed before she went to work at the warehouse. However, she was stopped by someone singing 90s songs. She laughed and found herself at theĀ culprit'sĀ door. Her arms crossed as she leaned her left shoulder on the door frame.Ā ā€œI secretly agree with you, but if you tell anyone I told you that I will deny it and hunt you down.ā€ She warned.Ā ā€œDo you like the Backstreet Boys?ā€Ā

Fiddling with the edge of her shirt, Leilaniā€™s teeth bit into her bottom lip, a slow nod following suit.Ā ā€œIā€™d love toā€¦ still not used to having a set food schedule.ā€ She smiles before her eyes drifted away from Devyn once again. There was a part of her that wanted to think that all of this - being captured, seeing Devyn again - was just a really bad dream that had manifested itself in the deep subconscious of her brain.Ā 
Yet, Leilani knewĀ this had to be real life. There was no way that her mind would be able to think of something thisā€¦ heart-wrenchingĀ to put herself through during her deepest of sleep.
All of this was real, and Leilani better start accepting that fact soon.

Huffing a light laugh, Devyn dropped her gaze to her hands before turning and starting to walk towards her villa.Ā ā€œItā€™s something youā€™ll get used to, but if you ever miss out on any of the meals and youā€™re hungry - just stop by my place. I normally have food there.ā€ She offered. Which she normally does, Devyn still wasnā€™t a big fan of being in crowds all the time - thus she just hid away in her villa, lord knows it was big enough for her to stay out there for a day or two.Ā 

There were only a few moments into the walk, even though her villa wasnā€™t very far the silence made it seem like it was miles away.Ā ā€œAlso, you should have a phone now...you can text me if you ever get lost. This place can be slightly tricky when youā€™re new.ā€ She wanted Leilani to feel as comfortable as possible, even with how she got here...she never wanted the Australian princess to ever feel like she was alone here.

ā€œIf you have any questions...Iā€™ll be glad to answer them.ā€ Personal and island related, sheā€™d answer any of her questions.Ā

There was a possibility of seeing Leilani here, with Australiaā€™s crowned prince already being captured - it was only a matter of time before the snatched her up as well. She just...isnā€™t preparedĀ to see her so soon. What was she supposed to say to her? Sorry for leaving you without a word or trace of how to get a holdĀ of me?Ā It seemed as if saying that would be even worse than what she had done.Ā 

Nodding her head, she cleared her throat.Ā ā€œI would take you to the canteen but lunchtime is over and there wonā€™t be anything buy scraps. Would you...be okay with coming back to my villa? I have some leftovers I could use some help finishing up.ā€Ā
