Status: Open!

[Motochika considers the majestic caravel he's spent all of his money and an undisclosed amount of money that he's borrowed and stolen (but never begged!) over the past week or so on with no small amount of pride. She isn't what he's accustomed to and she'll never hold a candle to his beautiful Fugaku, but she's a beautiful thing nevertheless. He's spent the day hard at work getting things just how he wants them and all in all he's quite pleased with how it's turned out. The only worry now is his crew.

He has barely enough to man this ship and he knows it and that's assuming they all show up. He's sure he can make up for the lack of manpower and experience himself, but he doesn't know quite what to expect when they actually make it out to sea. He heaves a heavy sigh and scratches at his head. This is all turning out to be a fine mess.

He's tried to let them all know to meet up at around this time, giving them the day to go about their business, but they don't seem the most reliable bunch. He misses his loyal crew back home, always hanging on his every word and calling out his name with worshipful zeal. He'll whip this crew into shape as best he can, but they don't really seem to be the devoted and hero worshipping type...]

MOTOCHIKA! MOTOCHIKA! [Pi-chan squawks out his name as he makes his way down from his perch on the ship to his usual spot on Motochika's shoulder. Motochika chuckles to himself and scratches the parrot under the chin.]

At least someone here looks up to me.

...that makes a bit more sense, but you're still asking for a lot. Fixing the grave is simple enough, but leaving an offering, carrying the used up part back to the right cemetery, then burying it in the right grave with some sort of ceremony? That'd take a lot of work, not to mention time. How am I even gonna get there?

[seadevil]

It wouldn't need to be the same, or even a true cemetery, as long as you buried it properly however the people here do it. If they do burials at sea, I suspect your work will be quite simple. As for offerings, I don't know what they expect here, but I don't suspect it's anything too hard to come by. It's a rough life many men here live.

[undeadparts]

Ooohh, that makes things easier.

[Still...she's not sure how she feels about this.]

...I'll consider it.

[seadevil]

You do that. We'll be setting sail before the week is out, so I'll need to hear your answer in two days or so.

[undeadparts]

Okay. I'll try to be as quick as possible with my answer.
