( toward the evening, in a lackadaisical manner, Licyn tackles his immense dislike of magic, which is what these searing pendants are, to offer up...

... not terribly much, but he has to start somewhere, being off contract and not able to speak with those who he might contract with in order to get back to whatever disaster Rillin was left facing. therefore: )

Evenin', loves. Had myself a bit of a gander between the ships, in all the chaos we've been up to or trying not to die of. Noticed a few things. Not sure if they're telling anything more interesting than mermaids and cursed seas and wailing dead and a whale of an island swimming off, so here we are.

( his smile is practically audible now. )

Our lovely lady Pariah is so new you can smell the paint and oil of her finishing. Meanwhile, a certain scent I've encountered before is lurking around on our adoring matron the Queen Zanyra. Any of you familiar with drugs taken to calm the mind and set you dreaming? Our Queen is lightly taken to the flower dreams.

Terrible things, terribly delightful things. Both sides of that knife cut sharp.

( to which he sounds cheery, not particularly concerned. )

There you have my concern, love, given I'm not a sailor made yet, and doubtful I ever will be. One ship captained and manned by those who turn to drugged dreams to escape, and what do I hear now but that the Pariah is equally captained by one who uses himself?

[fushichou]

Heh? They're both getting high?

[That's not good at all!]

Dammit, we'll never get to our destination, then. Surely the, uh...the vice-captain?

[That's not the correct naval term and Kanesada knows it, but he's not a naval man. Mutsunokami would know it, but he's not here...which is good on one hand because he'd just drive Kanesada crazy, but on the other hand, he'd probably be able to sail this ship mostly by himself.]

Surely that guy isn't getting into it, too. There has to be at least one sober guy involved, right?

If he cares to parade around me I may be able to say, love, but I find it's considered somewhat rude to mosey on over and solicit answers with a cold nose.

( ... literally, being that his is cold as a wolf. )

I don't know if anyone's a heavy user yet, it didn't smell of it, but I don't imagine as the nightmare of this all worsens that we'll find more sober heads prevailing.

[fushichou]

What worries me is the chance of mutiny. I get that a life at sea is what these men signed up for, or at least most of them, but there's gotta be a destination or goal. When those in charge become incompetent or lose their way, those under them often become discontent.

I dunno about you, but if my commanding officer were to be high as a kite, I'd be pretty pissed about it.

[bravelyrunsaway]

One's high, the other's likely high and crazed. There's no winning in this, that's for certain.

Let's do our best to ensure we survive.

[fushichou]

If push comes to shove, I can defend myself. What about you?

[bravelyrunsaway]

As long as we're not expected to swim to shore somehow afterward.
