 [Lorelai is sitting by the wheel of her small sailboat she named the Bright Shield in the middle of the sea. All around her nothing but water and not knowing how this world worked, directionaly impaired now that night was falling and their were no familiar stars to guide her. She takes out the Journal she arrived with and sits back and opens it up to the first blank page and starts talking to herself]

Why did I go out without hiring a guide?  I have no idea what any of these stars are.

[she punches the deck beneath her in frustration]

God I hope Killey never finds out about this.

[her frustration turns to an unpleasant laughter at that last thought]

What was I thinking?

[om_nom_namur]

Sheheheh sounds like the newbs is comin' in. Nice t' hear from y' sweetheart! Ain't a hell of a lotta our kind left in the world.

Tell y' a story, see if y' believe it.

So there's this pretty li'l mermaid, catch me? An' she's goin' t' the palace a the Sea King or so 's said. Every night y' can see her swimmin', east t' west, no matter the storm or the season. Catch my drift?

Well, you are supposed to sort that business out before just heading to sea. Do you know anything about sailing?

[She jumps up in reaction to the voice]

What the hell?!

[judgementscythe]

A constellation?

Re: [Voice]

[judgementscythe]

Clearly not enough.

Re: [Voice]

[skyfaring_swordsman]

I can send you over a bit of basic information, if you need it. How much experience do you have, exactly?

Re: [Voice]

[judgementscythe]

at exploring or on a boat?

Re: [Voice]

[skyfaring_swordsman]

Either one, really. I'm pretty experienced at both, myself.

[om_nom_namur]

No, damnit! A mermaid. If she was a bunch a shitty stars I'd a said so.

[judgementscythe]

[an angry tone takes over her voice]

You speak in dammed riddles. Make some sense

Re: [Voice]

[judgementscythe]

[annoyed] I'm not very good at boats.

Re: [Voice]

[skyfaring_swordsman]

Do you have anyone with you who does have experience, or are you going it alone?

[om_nom_namur]

[And his just sounds tired.]

Sweetheart I'm the biggest dumbass this world's ever known. Ain't smart 'nuff t' come up with shitty riddles. There's a mermaid. Swims every night goin' east t' west. Y' wanna go west? Follow her. Y' wanna go east? Sail 'way from her. Put her headin' t' starboard if y' wanna go north, headin' t' port if y' wanna go south. Flippin' riddles. Shit.

[But seriously, keep snarking at him. It's been awhile.]

[thetruehistorian]

You're quite brave setting out on your own without at least a compass.

[judgementscythe]

At least you are honest. Apparently I found the stupid pages of this book?

Re: [Voice]

[judgementscythe]

A day ago I was in a cave. Today I'm in the middle of the ocean. Who the hell am I supposed to have with me?

[om_nom_namur]

Sheheh! Sweetheart, every page in this book is the stupid page. Ain't none a us got any idea what the hell's goin' on.

[judgementscythe]

Stop calling me sweetheart

[om_nom_namur]

Well y' don't sound like a dude. Gimme a name, an' I'll call y' that instead.

[.... Maybe. He'll try?]

[judgementscythe]

I have a compass. [annoyed] I'm just not good at boats.

[thetruehistorian]

Perhaps I can lend a hand. [Or... five.] What's the name of your vessel?

Re: [Voice]

[skyfaring_swordsman]

You'd be surprised. Humanity is quite the tenacious creature, we can exist almost anywhere.

I suppose I could head over to give you direction, until you have the hang of it. I'd still recommend gaining more crew of your own, to take up slack.

[judgementscythe]

No

[om_nom_namur]

Wow, who shit in yer current t'day?

Whatever. Good luck bein' lost.
