Okay. No. Fuck this. Fuck all this bullshit!

[Alex has stormed below deck and gotten her journal. She's kind of yelling at it. Sorry everyone.]

I'm not staying on this ship!

I'm-- That's just-- It's a bad idea, okay? I need to get off this ship. Now.

I can fight. I can't sail. I get sick as hell at night, but I need off this ship.

Anyone hiring?

[She may change her mind after she cools down, but she's furious right now. And anger, hunger, and night? Are going to make a bad combination. And not even an asshole like the guy on her ship who got them banned deserves that.]

L-Elf? What ship are you on? Your captain got room for one more? Someone?

[It takes some time -- well after dark -- before Alex actually gets herself up and goes looking for someone. A particular someone, actually. Her stomach's killing her, but she walks the ship until she finds him.

Haytham Kenway.]

Sir? I-- Can I talk to you?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Okay. What? What was going on here? Ratonhnhaké:ton was aware that they were being penalized for one of his crewmember's actions but he hadn't realized it was now pitting the whole crew against one another.. so when Alex sends this message he's more than a little confused]

What is it that has aroused such ire?

[He tried to find some common ground]

If it is any consolation, I cannot say that I am surprised that this has happened. That man my father hired seems to have little to no self-discipline.

[Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

Happy place. Find a happy place. Think therapy--

Nope. Not working. Still pissed.]

I'm tired, I'm hungry, and that asshole has me pissed.

No one wants the shit that will go down if he's anywhere in my reach at night, okay?

[Breathe.

Try to find a happy place.]

[Omg.. pretend I didn't say "that man my father hired". Conner wouldn't know that. Change it to "that man" in your head. /Derp]

This sounds more like you have had some personal altercation with him....

[.. rather than just hearing about the ban]

.. if he is lashing out at the crew then something must be done about him. What exactly did he do?

[Yeah, he was thinking of addressing the matter personally and he didn't really want to see Alex leave after her just recently joining them.]

[Happens to all of us. Mentally changed!]

He's being an idiot!

Throwing a goddamn tantrum, acting like we're not all stuck in the same goddamn situation.

None of us asked to be here!

[In a better mood, she could actually articulate that it wasn't Ban. Not really. It was a combination of everything that had built up.]

And you know what? Of course I don't get what's wrong. Know why? Because I just got here! And it's not like he's talking.

Just throwing a goddamn fit!

I'm not psychic, damn it! I don't know things or get them unless people talk to me.

God!

[...Sorry Conner. Very, very angry, upset, lost, scared, hungry, tired teenage girl.]

I'm on the Charming Murderess at the moment. We're docked at Isla Empieza, though I don't know if the captain is taking on more crew right now.

[It's a short message, but he actually used the voice function for once.]

I hate this place.

[Her voice is quiet. She's calmed down a bit, but she's still upset. She's still trying to take everything.]

God damn it.

Signing on with a crew isn't a binding contract. You can leave if you want.

[He's not really anyone's first choice for comforting words, but at least he's trying to be helpful.]

Calm down, sweet lady. What's troubling you? Did someone hurt you?

Jackass on my crew. Nobody hurt me. Just... Just lots of bullshit.

[relaxes a little] There's one on every crew. I'm thinking this is the same one that got our dubious benefactress in a snit?

Do you want to talk about what's happened? Perhaps over some tea to help calm you down a little?

He's a jackass. What else is there to talk about?!

I think of him more as a child than a jackass. Throwing his toys out of the pram. But I wouldn't let one child bother you so much. It's why I thought talking might help in calming down.

I also made some treats if you'd like some.

[So it was by candlelight that Haytham saw to his injuries suffered earlier in the day. Not the easiest task in the world as the flickering candle made seeing difficult, but there wasn't much to be done really. Just cleaning the blood from his lip... ]

Alex?

[The towel was set aside by the basin of water before he opened the door. He was presentable, always was, but clearly had been in a fight.]

Of course. Is there something the matter?

[She could smell the blood. Sharp and raw. It made her mouth water, but she shook her head. Willed that away.]

...A lot. Actually.

With me.

You were not the one behaving badly today.

[Ban was. Still he stepped aside and offered her entry into his room thinking it better not to hold conversations in the hallway. ]

[While deep down, Archer was loathe to let a vampire live, he knew that this woman would likely return, anyway.

He was just exceptionally good at concealing his own killing intent. The only problem otherwise had been her lack of activity up to this point. Why had it taken so long to escalate?

Poised in the crow's nest, Archer kept his eyes on the horizon. He could see several miles out, even in the dead of night.]

Is today the day for emotional outbursts?

So what if it is?

[She's still in a bad mood, still extremely volatile and sharp. She was still sick, still hungry, still angry, and with a nice dose of paranoia kicking in. The therapy techniques? Well. They were keeping her focused enough that she wasn't looking to kill.]

If you're going to be an asshole, I don't need it, okay? I'm already pissed, and I'm really not in the mood for someone deciding it'd be fun to add fuel to the fire, okay?

So if you're going to be a dick, do it to someone else.

I'm not being a dick. I'm trying to see if you'll calm down or if you'll get more livid.

[He pretended to look through his scope, though it wasn't at all necessary. All those little things he had to do just to keep appearances.]

I don't know what the issue is exactly, but regardless of where you are--getting angry at one petulant child isn't going to do you good.

L-Elf is on the same crew I am. I'm sure we could find room for you.

However, though I am not the captain, I would want to be certain that this sort of response on your end is not something that would repeat itself.

[She is currently being addressed quite sternly by a thirteen year old boy.]

What has angered you about your current ship and crew?

[And now she's being talked down to by a kid.

Great.

Fuck this day, seriously.]

What's wrong is that one asshole on our crew got us banned from any information from the one person who seems to have it. For months. And doesn't seem to give a shit that him being a selfish jerk hurts all of us because he's totally alone and not responsible for anyone else. Except that, you know, a crew is a team and if we're not in this together then what's the fucking point of being together. And, of course, I don't get it. What is "it"? No idea. Know why? Because I'm apparently supposed to just get it without it ever being talked about, but I'm the brat for calling him out on it.

That's what's wrong.

[Mentioning that his brother is the reason they all got kicked off the main island for a while probably isn't the best idea, then.]

Your anger is understandable, but it will get you nowhere.

Ultimately, your crewmate may not have even known that his words would affect your crew as a whole. We are at the mercy of others here.

If you have an important question that needs asking, perhaps you can get someone on another crew to ask for you.

You're free to do what you want here. No one's expecting you to instantly become an experienced sailor over night. [He feels bad it would take the the better part of the week to reach their destination.] I won't object too you useing the Nav to leave. Just know you're also free to come ba

[It's quite a bit later that evening when she answers. After all, even in all her teenage fury, she knew better than to rant at someone who was actually an authority figure.

Her tone's... quite a bit calmer and quite a bit less sick than it usually is at night.]

Thank you, sir, but I think I'm okay now. Just... had a bad day. I'm sorry.

It happens. It's a bit hard to get away from things on a ship like this.
