audio | un: yiling laozu | early on in the storm at sea event

[weifinder]

( so the audio comes on, no announcement, playing across everyone's pendant. the sound of the storm, of a boat at sail, and of a voice some will know, others might choose not to remember after his shouted love declarations, as he speaks with the dead of a ship quicksilver swears second damnation upon: )

Let me see if I understand. You and this crew are seeking vengeance against Quicksilver for him leaving you to die after you left him to die. Quicksilver is seeking vengeance by attempting to kill you all directly, whom are already dead. The Dawn's Reach Trading Company is surprised that entrusting pirates with a venture posing high returns went wrong once, and now again, while our other pirate captain wants just the tangible gains, and to the hells with everything else.

Meanwhile, none of you have control over the waters, which was the treasures heart. Is that somewhat correct?

( there is an extended pause, an awkward one for its seeming understanding of the true absurdities which have been spoken, before a voice unfamiliar to all the ragtag travelers responds in the cadences of the bodied dead: )

... Aye. It be like that.

Comments

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan.

[downswing]

Some modesty.

[weifinder]

Only if you hold me to it.

( and at that he chuckles, but really, ah... he hadn't meant for people who would remember to hear that...

no regrets, precisely, just more earned shamelessness than he can presently trade in. )

[downswing]

I ask.

[weifinder]

Fine, fine, we can discuss it in private after all this, as you like.

... Do you want to discuss this?

[downswing]

( The. Longest. Pause. Practically sprawling. )

To see you excused of dead.

[weifinder]

... We, ah. We might need to see the curse of the dead living taken off this world before that'll come to be.

[downswing]

You distort words.

[weifinder]

I row at the moment, it's a bit distracting, Lan Zhan. Though I think the talisman is working!

[downswing]

On the belligerent sea creature, also. Weak to arrays.

[weifinder]

Fire?

[downswing]

Fire. Cleansing does not exterminate.

[weifinder]

Good thing fire talismans are an old friend, ah?

[downswing]

Name a talisman you do not count a friend.

[weifinder]

Can't, I'll find a way to make them friendly.

( a smile in his voice after: )

Point heard.

[downswing]

All the same. They bow to fire.

[weifinder]

Let them then kneel.

[downswing]

( ...............oh. )
