21st | on the deck or wherever they've pulled in to anchor

[facelesshunter]

Hester's sitting back on her hands, having come out early with a secret wish to see the comet. She's squinting at the stars with her single eye. She hasn't bothered with a blanket.

"...don't recognize any of these."

She's disappointed. The constellations are one of the only things she has left from her parents.

[followthecread]

James had come out for the same reason, but for the moment, he's bored as hell. So he saunters over next to Hester and casually leans back against a crate.

"Nor I. Makes naviga'ing a mite harder."

Understatement of the day.

itt two cynical people vehemently deny that they like looking at the night sky

[facelesshunter]

Hester stifles a smile at hearing his (what she perceives as a) London lower-deck accent.

"Guess we'll have to make some new ones. That one kinda looks like..." She points. "A fat man spilling tea on hisself."

we don't have feelings we don't like things ALL LIES

[followthecread]

"Drunken Tea it is, then," James says, glancing at Hester with an amused smile. He points at another. "What of this One? Looks like a ferocious Lass fightin' a Leopard."

[arcadiasailor]

Harlock's lying on deck arms crossed behind his head. It's been a while since he stared out at the stars. He'd done it often the first few weeks here keeping an eye for unnatural streaks in the sky just for the small chance this was some stop on the Galaxy Railways he'd just never heard of.

"The moon always throws me off, looks way to much like earth's if you ask me."

[facelesshunter]

Hester raises an eyebrow and glances at her captain.

"What other moon would it be?"

[arcadiasailor]

[ He props himself up on his elbows.]

Plenty of other planets have moons. Earth's moon is large compared to the size of the planet it's orbiting. Just about every planet in Earth's system has at least one. A few like Titian have colonies in my time. Friend's mother keeps swearing she'll move there.

[formerabyssinian]

"Are you surprised?"

Aya was coming from behind, having stepped out onto the deck for some fresh air. He looked up as well, so see what she was gazing at. "Nothing about this world is really familiar."

[facelesshunter]

Hester startled, turned towards the source of the sound. She narrowed her one eye.

"'Course I'm not surprised. Only an idiot would expect the sky to be the exact same on another world."

In other words, yes.

[bloodheels]

Lenalee was glad to have some free time and with that she used it to come on deck and walk over to whoever she could see at the time.

"Are you talking about the stars?" She looked up staring at them. "There's none I recognize either, they are all new. At least that is what I think. Are you disappointed about that?"

[facelesshunter]

She is. In addition to being a legacy of her scientist parents, they're one of the few pleasures available to you when you're pennyless in the outcountry. But damned if she'll admit it.

"...It's just confusing, is all."

19th (morning)

[arcadiasailor]

[The first thing he realized upon waking that morning is half his vision is gone. Harlock locates the cabinet of draws that contains a mirror and pushes away hair that seems determined to fall over the right side of his face face. There was Black eye patch over that eye and he really had no desire to peak underneath.
He sighs.
He was really hoping he'd be the one to buck this family trend and confused because he would remember losing an eye.

A loose shirt sleeve catches on a corner and he remembers it been hot last night hand he'd only wore boxers to bed. Not a lose white shirt with frills and britches. He looks around and try as he might he can't find his normal clothing or his belts for that matter. He grabs black coat with a red collar that's been draped over his desk and startles Mikun.


The door to the cabin slams open and Harlock yells]

Alright who's the Küstenschiffer that's gone and pilfered me Dragoon and Saber?

[Somehow this is Dog's fault.]Beim Klabautermann! It be happening again.

[bloodheels]

[Lenalee had currently be moving some dirty clothes in order to do some laundry later today when the door was slammed open, starling the poor girl.]

Captain... [She paused for a moment, she actually didn't understand a word he just said and it was obvious by her puzzled look.]

What... are you talking about?

[arcadiasailor]

[He pinches the bridge of his noise. He's not quite sure what's worse that he's misplaced his extremely rare and dangerous side arm, or he sounds like incomprehensible.]
My clothing's gone Jones knows where and me weapons to.
[He could swear he hears laughing but it's female.]

Re: 19th (morning)

[facelesshunter]

Hester laughs, a harsh bark.

"Captain, you sound like a drunk Panzerstadter with a speech problem and you look like a crappy mummer!"

Then she notices the eyepatch and narrows her own single eye. Is he making fun of her?

Re: 19th (morning)

[arcadiasailor]

[He's glaring at her from behind his collar. This was not funny, and was notably where than last year when curse had gone into effect mid journal argument. ]

What in the blue blazes be a mummer? [He's doesn't even realize the curse is leaving German pirate words untranslated at random.] I am most currently not liquefied up, many people from armored cites sound like fictional pirates poppet?

19th - morning

[followthecread]

[Jim bursts out onto the deck, sporting a hook for a right hand. now in a better light, he glares down at the hook. yeah. yeah yep, this is definitely a thing]

Arrgh, what the Devil in the Seven Seas is this Shite?

. . . Aw, Hell.

[at least whatever power was responsible left his right wrist blade alone. his arm twitches, activating the blade--]

[which collides with the tip of the hook. useless]

Bloody Hell.

[bloodheels]

[She had left the kitchen, carrying a tray as she was walking down the hall. Spotting the other and someone she hadn't really spoken to yet she was wondering what was up.]

Is something the matter?

[followthecread]

[his words spill out rapid-fire, which is how you can tell that Jim is Pissed Off]

Aye, there is. I be talkin' like to a common Bilge Rat fresh off the Docks, an' I've a new Addition to me Costume, besides.

[he holds up his right arm, the hook where his hand used to be looking very shiny and new]

Re: 19th - morning

[arcadiasailor]

[Harlock standing at the helm. Jim's managed to stop right in his blind spot. He'd heard the other approach and the sound of the blade activating then the clink of it hitting the hook. When he did turn his head to finally see Jim's puzzeling his contraption.]


That be mighty inconvenient. At least yea didn't wake up looking like yea stepped out of a old family portrait.

[followthecread]

[there's a flicker in Jim's eyes, like he didn't quite mean to bring so much attention to his hidden blade. then again, maybe it's just that he's noticed Harlock's new addition to HIS costume]

Don't be tellin' me your Gift's madeja look like yer Father or some such Nightmare.

Fresh Meat to the crew! 19th: mid-morning

[formerabyssinian]

[To say that Aya is relieved to not be affected by whatever has taken over some of the crew is an understatement. He can't...quite make sense out of what was happening, however. He's on deck, doing what he can to help the ship run smoothly, when he catches a bit of the conversations going around.]

What's with this crew? [They're starting to give the Spades a run for their money in terms of weirdness. He thought they were other-worlders like himself. They sounded like they were born on the seas!]

[bloodheels]

[Lenalee couldn't help in join you in the whole not making sense of it all deal.]

I have no idea, but I just assumed it was a weird curse or something. [She gives a smile as she looks at him.] They don't usually talk like this. I should welcome you never the less. I'm Lenalee, the ships cook. if you would like a certain meal you just let me know.

[formerabyssinian]

There's been word that Scurvy Dog is celebrating our arrival here. Guess this is what she had in mind. [It's not so bad...so far.]

I'm Aya. Nice to meet you. I'm not too picky about food. [Just as long as it isn't boiled to the point it has no flavor.] If you need any herbs, I can look for some on an island we land on.

26th -29th

[bloodheels]

[Lenalee felt like she was missing something, but she couldn't quite figure out what that something was. Never the less she tried to carry on as best as she could, all the while wondering what it was that could have been missing.

Oh well, it didn't bother her all that much as she went about her usual job of cooking as well as doing other things such as laundry, among other things.]
