Style: whatever
Status: closed to Hazmats

The Nightfury leaves Li Yu Tiao after the festival and after a little aimless sailing, settles on a course southeast to Arco da Vella, mainly to follow rumors of treasure and to do visit somewhere they haven't been before. By the time they turn onto this week-long journey, it's already June, and the Dog's warnings about something coming catch up to them before they land.

At sea the night of the 15th when the first zombies attack, it becomes even more imperative to make it to land. Because of course, it would never happen on land, right? Wrong. Plus, when they get there, the strange colorless nature of Arco da Vella shows itself, not that it's as dangerous or deadly as zombies but it's just one thing after another around here.

Am not!

[She makes a face and pinches his arm. Meanie!]

I drank lots of wine back home. I'm just not used to your kind of literal poison. Emphasis on literal. What do you even put in that gourd wine? Rubbing alcohol!?

[As if Kitty knew what rubbing alcohol was. But she won't like, his literal poison did taste pretty good. It should just come with a warning label.]

I'm sure we won't have another race this year.With all these weird things happening right now? I'd rather sit it all out and just stay on this island until a zombie eventually kills me, or this infestation ends. Whatever comes first.

[youhearthebells]

Oi, that's good wine! [he says despite the rampant alcoholism in the Sun boys and Zhang Fei's legendary sake-gut. Harrumph.

He settles back down and shakes his head.]

I ain't lettin' zombies kill anybody. Even if we have to lock ourselves in one cabin all night long and take turns keepin' watch, we're comin' out alive.

[anelegantmyth]

It's poison! That's why your brain's so messed up, Kitty. Maybe I should have you detox for a month, like I did with Gaius.

[Which was totally a good idea. A month's worth of sober Captain Ning? Cynthia would pay good money to see that, just to know how that'd turn out. Also, clearly Ning's never seen horror movies.]

Locking ourselves in a cabin? Is that even safe?

[youhearthebells]

[gives her the oh hell no look. He's actually sober 90% of the time, it's the other 10% that she should be wary of.]

Safer'n fighting all night until we're all exhausted.

[anelegantmyth]

[Well she's not taking ANY chances with that 10%.]

Good point...ok I've decided. No more alcohol for you.

[youhearthebells]

Huh? [WHAT NO] Don't even try it.

[anelegantmyth]

Well I AM in charge of the money.

[youhearthebells]

So? You're not my mother. Can't keep a bottle outta my hand.

[he has his ways.]

[anelegantmyth]

Aw Kitty, I have my ways, or I could drop all of this if you just admit you're hiding something from me.

[youhearthebells]

The hell do you mean?

[he does have a small stash. Not telling her anything about that. Mostly he just doesn't know what she's on about.]

[anelegantmyth]

Admit you lost the bell.

[...heh.]

[youhearthebells]

....nnno?

[he won't say what happened to it but at least he's dead honest. It's not lost.]

[anelegantmyth]

Then why don't you ever wear it. Don't you like it?

[youhearthebells]

I told you a long time ago, it's ostentatious! It's too much for a guy like me.
