[Grell, standing at the helm of the boat where the wheel is, stares out at the sea. It takes a few moments before she mentally decides a direction and takes hold of it.]

Hoist the anchor! We're pulling off!

Wait. Why? [Dave chimed in, following the railing from the lower deck to the helm's platform.] Yo. Big Red, what's the story?

[Slowly, Grell looks over her shoulder at him, not pleased that he's questioning her orders.]

Because I said so! Now do as I say!

[Dave frowned--deciding to play the part of the world's slowest detective around. He couldn't tell the difference between an incited Grell and a possessed Grell, so there was scarcely a frame of reference for him.] Hate to sound childish, but I had some plans for this island, dude.

We could make off like bandits and leavin' too soon would kinda screw with that. Isn't that our, y'know, primary agenda?

Then you must despise yourself. [Grell walks over to him, very much irritated by his logic. She makes a grab for his collar with a not-too-pleasant grip.] Listen you interloper, we're leaving. NOW. If you love this island that much, you stay! Otherwise, you do as you're told, or else!

Uh. [Totally blind-sided by that, Dave's jaw hung in the air for a few moments. Usually, Grell was less likely to toss him off the ship. He was getting the impression that this was suddenly a more probable venue. So, he looked at her for a moment and tried to choose better words.]

Maybe we should bring this up with everybody else? I don't exactly want to make you sound like a cheddar-chump, but it sounds like we oughta--

[There is a sudden sound of something hitting the deck hard (spoiler: it's Dave) followed by a large buzzing sound of a chainsaw. Which is quickly followed by the squelching sound of a thick liquid mixing in.]

Grrk-- [In response, Dave could only choke out a few words. He didn't try to push back against Grell, rather he seemed oddly surprised it even happened.] Not on my good suit, dude...

[With an eye roll, Grell gives one last swift kick to his body before walking off, not waiting for the anchor to be hoisted. They just got this ship, damnit. Already there's blood on it.]

[It's hard not to hear the commotion on deck, thus Loki makes his way up to the deck to see Dave bleeding out and Grell sailing the ship without hoisting the anchor. Right. Is it bad, that he is more annoyed with her not hoisting the anchor than he is with the body lying on the decking dirtying up things?]

Captain, the anchor is still overboard.

[SIGHS]

He took too long! [She gestures over to the body.] So I decided not to wait.

[Grell raises an eyebrow at him.]

Unless you can pick up where he left off? [He's free to interpret that as he wishes, but if he's concerned about the anchor, Grell isn't gonna pull it up now.]

[Considering he's not interested in having to fix a ship or swimming to their next designation when she inevitably crashes it. He goes and pulls the anchor up himself. It's not like it is enough to tired him out.]

Our designation?

Edited 2014-01-11 06:52 (UTC)

[Good on him. Grell is pleased with that and keeps on sailing. When he returns, Grell doesn't turn to him as she answers.]

Isla Empieza.

Any particular reason for the urgency to get back there?

[He was pretty sure, that she had no interest to go back to Isla Empieza considering the run of back luck there last month.]

[Grell casts him a bright GRIN from over her shoulder.]

I'm going to KILL all the new arrivals~! Don't worry, I'll make your DEATH quick and painless, since you've been so helpful! [With one last wink, Grell focuses on sailing.]

Right. [So at some point, he is going to have to take Grell down, but now he is in a dilemma of figuring out when to do that.]

Woke up feeling bloodthirsty today, I see. May I ask what has inspired your bloodlust?

[Only Loki can be so nonchalant about a death threat.]

Oh, a little voice told me to seize the day! Search for what you want! So, I am~! Anyone in my way will be terminated!

[His only viable option is to tie her up after knocking her out., and keeping her that way. Fates help you if she wakes up again.]

[This is the part, where he has to ask himself if she is cursed or if this is just a mood swing for her. After all he doesn't really know her that well and half the crew has vanished in the short time they have been sailing together.]

And you want blood and death then?

[He's just clarifying.]

[Her smile falls instantly as she whirls around to him.]

WHAT PART OF MURDERING EVERYONE IS UNCLEAR TO YOU?!

[And therein lies the problem. Is she possessed? Is she not? Wouldn't it be best to take precaution?]

My goal will be achieved when the cobblestone bleed and the sea turns red!

Now, now, Grell, there is no need for a lady to raise her voice like that. It was merely a simple question.

[Most people would see the logic in taking precautions, but then Loki is not exactly 'most people' and he is also not shy about violence. He likes Grell well enough not to want to have to kill her, but he is willing to put her down if he has no other choice.]
