3rd Order ♚ Response to the Navy Shenanigans ♚ [Voice][Action possible for crew members!]
The Navy was never that fond of us to begin with... it's only now that they decide to take any decisive action.
[A light huff passed his lips, it doesn't sound as if the young Earl is too concerned by all this]
I wouldn't put much stock into this display, if the past is any indication of their level of competency.
[Besides, Ciel had a little trick up his sleeve should his vessel run too close to their waters]
It would be in our best interests to at least keep aware of where the Navy is frequenting. So I would suggest that if anyone runs into their ships that they please inform the rest of us so we can all avoid them as best as possible. It's a vast ocean, and they can't very well patrol every location.
[Action]
[Ciel had been keeping holed up in his cabin for a spell, pouring over all the charts at his disposal looking for the best direction to steer in. Although he'd learned what he could from the dockworkers on Ilsa Empieza, and the tomes he'd purchased he was still an inexperienced seaman. If he could only find a true captain willing to take the reigns he could dedicate more of his time to other endeavors.
Seated at his desk, he was in an unsightly state. The buttons on his jacket were fastened to the wrong holes, his socks were uneven, and his hair was a little more messy than usual. This having to dress himself thing was another hassle... thankfully the journals couldn't project that...]
[Standing up.. he tried once more to tidy up before walking out on deck. One there was for sure... they needed more distance between them and that island]
[ooc: ALSO.. I made a plotting community for us over HERE. I'll be making an ooc post later about it :3]

That's certainly a relief. Good work, Musa.
[He offered her a faint but sincere smile. The truth of the matter was, now that they were cut off from the home port and he was unfamiliar with the other islands and their resources he was unsure when they may get to replenish their supplies. This month and a half would give him some time to play with. Musa was proving to be an asset to the ship, not only for taking inventory but for her actions in October when so many other crews had been falling prey to some very odd circumstances.]
[He was a bit troubled after looking at the map... only one island appeared on it when he knew there should be dozens more, and there was no scale to indicate distance. Unless they decided to sail blindly, then their course had already been decided for them. Little did he know that more of the map would fill itself in after they had journeyed further]
I suppose it goes without saying that we won't be able to linger here any longer. Isla Empieza isn't that far from here... and I don't fancy a run in with the Navy at this early juncture.
action;
I think the last thing we need is another fight, so... [her fingers trailed above the map along an empty part of it.]
Best bets would be going this way, but I can always check since we haven't a clue where anyone else is heading and if they should be avoided or not. [She pauses for a moment, thinking about it something's keeping safe wasn't always an option, especially if they start to lose food. They would need to hunt and gather if that was the case.]
This is still not cool, though.
action;
Toward the North? Any particular reason for that suggestion as opposed to the other cardinal directions? [Maybe she knew something he didn't about what they could expect to find there from her own interactions]
No, it is most certainly not.
[Ooc: I'm totally up for suggestions on which island you all want to go to first. I've been looking over the island registry, and there are quite a few interesting places to go to and see~! Do you have any preference?
I'm going to ask Lizzie-mun too!]action;
I just think if we explore what we don't know, we could find out if we can find supplies or food elsewhere. Better to be safe than sorry.
[OOC: I don't mind either, I was trying to figure out an island that people haven't been on but I'm not exactly sure of that.]
action;
Mm. I think we should make ready to sail immediately.
[OOC: I'm not sure of that either, but I looked through some of the islands and thought Aeolipile Isle might be pretty neat to explore. Then of course... any island would be neat to explore :3. It's in the Northeast, and has a mostly dormant Volcano.]
action;
It shouldn't be too hard after a month of doing it.
[OOC: Sounds like a good one to explore.]
action;
[The crew was falling into their own routines, about manning the ship. It seemed like they might just be able to pull this off. Not that Ciel wanted to advertise any of his insecurities]
[OOC: Sometime after the Navy vs. Pirate event I'll get a log going for this Isle then :3!]
