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.

It's got little to do with 'center mass'. Think of a pendulum. Towards the base, you have the least movement. When its at its top height, it moves the most.

Given that seasickness comes from your center of balance being tampered with, you should go where it's the more balanced.
