Hey. Hi, I'm new, I guess.
[ Water can be heard sloshing the sides of the boat around him. Of course, maybe you're on his boat, in which case you get to see him in person, huddled with the device in his hands and his lit candle between his knees. ]
Uh, I don't...fully understand what's going on here. I mean, I read the short version. Taravast, Sa-Hareth. I get it, I'm not in Kansas anymore.
I don't get what we're supposed to be doing. Does anyone know where we're sailing to? And they said keep the candles lit. What happens if we don't, does anyone know? It sounds like magic, and fairytales, and nothing that makes any sense to me. And why can't we sail during the day, is something after us?
[ Something's always after him. This is...well it's a new kind of horror, and it reads like something out of a nightmare, honestly, but he's taken unbelievable horror in stride before. It's just normally the product of science fiction and not fantasy.
But he can deal. Probably.
Also, he should establish allies if he can. Without drawing potential threats to himself. There's a reason this is audio and not video. ]
Name's John Dixon. Uh, for all that this is new to me, I'm a pretty good handyman, so. Let me know if there's somewhere I can pitch in.

And no one else thought about that? I guess they've never been on the run before.
[ Some things are second nature, when you know that life. Security is top of that list. Keeping yourself safe, keeping your group safe, being ready to move, knowing your exits. Knowing how to defend your own camp. ]
What weapons do you use, and how do you keep them stocked? These little boats don't seem like they'd carry a lot in the way of ammo. Doesn't give me a good feeling.

It's all primitive stuff. Haven't even seen any slugthrowers yet, but there might be some kicking around here. [Certainly no blasters.] You got any CQC training? [That was something he could help out with. And...] We're not one hundred percent locked out of the magic stuff, either. We can learn some of it. I've been picking up bits from a guy.
