[ Listen. Eda, known criminal and owner of a flying bathtub, kinda wants to hit herself over the head for not suggesting this sooner. ]

anyone else think we should just steal a ship and bounce?

Where to?

A pertinent question. If we had any idea where we were going it might be an option, but our final destination -- all organised by our benefactor -- is not something I have documented. Nor details of how to get there.

[traaaaaash]

and how trustworthy is this benefactor exactly

[blackscales]

I don't' disagree with the suspicion, but he does at least normally do what he said he'd do -- we do find we arrive places where he has indeed organised accommodation and there is a beacon we can try to use to get home. Which several people have indeed used.

[traaaaaash]

so what's stopping the rest of us???

[techmaturgy]

I'm not unopposed, in theory, though I doubt our group has the knowledge to crew a vessel. We won't be going far with just a few of us, even if we manage to...acquire...a ship.

[blackscales]

They run out of power after sending several people -- did you not observe this happening in the House of Ravens?

[ Eda were you so distracted you actually forgot about the Beacon? ]

[traaaaaash]

i've flown a bathtub before, we can manage

[techmaturgy]

You've

what

[traaaaaash]

my flying bathtub

for when my roommates steal my staff

[traaaaaash]

oh right that was a thing

i may be a bit drunk

[techmaturgy]

Why a bathtub? Surely you could enchant something more...aerodynamic.

[traaaaaash]

it's not enchanted it has a motor with a propeller

[techmaturgy]

What kind of engine? Also, why?

[traaaaaash]

i don't know it's human stuff

why not

1/2

[techmaturgy]

[techmaturgy]

It seems inefficient.

[blackscales]

[ Titans, of course she is. ]

Perhaps an inadvisable condition to be attempting to be attempting to crew a ship in.

[traaaaaash]

true it's not the most elegant but sometimes you gotta make do with whatever you can steal from another dimension

[traaaaaash]

that's not even close to the top of the craziest things i've done

[techmaturgy]

Do you not have bathtubs in your own dimension?

[traaaaaash]

we do but not motors

[techmaturgy]

Regardless, flying a bathtub and manning a ship are two different skill sets.

[traaaaaash]

i guess

don't we have a sailor in our crew?

maybe we can kidnap a pirate? like just one so we outnumber him and can make him do the steering for us

[blackscales]

That does not recommend the plan.

[ 'I've done stupider things' isn't a reason to do something. ]

[traaaaaash]

so what do you suggest then

get involved in pirate drama and strung along indefinitely?
