Ginger? Does not help. Though at least it tastes pretty good.

[Alex is talking to the journal. It's late at night, she's sick as hell, and there's a prevailing exhaustion both night and day that's starting to slow her down. She's doing her best to hide it -- eating plenty, sleeping the few hours she can... Everything but what she knows will fix it.

Here? That's kind of awkward to even think about approaching.

So, she's on the deck of Triton's Mistress. The rocking is less awful here, and she's able to dump, lower, and therefore clean her bucket (kept by her side) easiest on deck. She's leaned back against the steps leading up to the quarterdeck and helm, apparently half asleep.

On the other side of her, away from the bucket, is a mug of ginger tea.]

I'm trying to find cures for seasickness. Nothing seems to be working.

That's what I was thinking of trying, but you said it didn't work. It's probably not the most effective thing anyway or we wouldn't have made medicine for it back home.

Doesn't work for everyone. I'm kind of a weird case.

All the more reason to trust whatever solution you come up with! If you need something extra powerful, then it'll make absolutely certain I don't have to deal with him.

May take awhile for me to find something. I can pass on suggestions, even if they don't work, in the meantime.

[whiteas]

Thank you.

I'm Weiss, by the way.

I'm Alex. Good to meet you.

audio;

[whiteas]

You too.

What's wrong with you that ginger doesn't work? Are you allergic to it?

audio;

[oneofthelost]

Not allergic, just... got a really stubborn system. I guess.

audio;

[whiteas]

That doesn't sound pleasant at all.

audio;

[oneofthelost]

It's awful. But I figure it'll go away, eventually.

[whiteas]

I think that's what they call getting your "sea legs."

Hopefully it doesn't take much longer.
