The night before...(21rst)

All was quiet for the night, the cleaning finished, the crew in bed, except for one. It was still fairly warm, much cooler than it had been in the southern seas, but they had only left Isla Empieza that morning. The waves to weave and crash upon each other in a soft lull. Clear skies for the most part, the not quite full moon overhead cast some excellent mood light where the lantern nearby wouldn't suffice. Anyone else having trouble sleeping tonight, feel free to go find Archie chilling out on the deck.

Fog, phantoms, and the RPG norm...(22nd)

Being out on the water, fog was a pretty normal occurrence. Warmth of the day with the cool of the night, casting vapors at dawn and dusk. Usually it was quite ethereal. This fog... even more so. It possibly wouldn't be nearly as worrisome if it weren't for how quickly it came rolling in, covering everything in a faded bone chilling haze. And speaking of bone chilling, what was that coming closer.... A ship...? And those figures on board.... PREPARE YOURSELVES!

The morning after...(23rd-end)

Its not all that hard to believe the attack from the night before. Considering the crew, stranger things have happened than mere ghost ships (although ghost ship isn't exactly something they've all had to face before) appearing from nowhere. Perhaps that was what Dog had mentioned about something coming and by sunrise they would.... hey has anyone seen the sun today? And it still feels like something isn't right to the magically sensitive. Something is still going on, and that moon sure doesn't look too friendly either...

...

Well, that's quite enough wallowing, I should think. You realize what this means, don't you?

It means that we're stuck like this until it resolves itself.

[He glanced upward at the darkened sky.]

...Hopefully, that'll be when the sun rises once again.
jadethenecromancer: (side-eyeing you...)

[personal profile] jadethenecromancer 2013-11-16 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That's our best hope. Otherwise...

[He gave Piers a sharp look.]

If my condition worsens enough to put the others in danger, I trust you'll know what you have to do.
lost_sailor: (don't try my patience)

[Piers nodded grimly.]

I already do, and you have my word that I will.

[His responsibilities as captain were his priority, even above his responsibilities as a healer. Though inexperienced, he was no fool.]

Good.

[Hopefully it wouldn't come to that, but the unflinching answer was a weight off his mind either way.]

I'm going to the Captain's cabin. It's at least a little more isolated from the rest of the ship. [And the door could be locked.]

[personal profile] lost_sailor 2013-11-16 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[No explanation was needed for Jade's reasoning. The Captain's cabin was the most central and the most private room on the ship, making it ideal for both keeping tabs on everyone onboard and storing important tools or documents. All of Piers' drafting supplies were there, and he left the room open for others to use.

It really was the best place.]


Do what you must. I'll keep myself available regardless of what happens.

If there is anything you need...

[personal profile] jadethenecromancer 2013-11-17 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'll manage.

[Jade took a few steps across the deck, then paused. The next time they spoke, either everything would be fine or things would go downhill very fast.]

[The hesitation was visible for only a split second before it was replaced by a smile.]


Watch over Luke for me, will you?

[And with that, he turned and left.]
