> Wake up, again

[bathymetric]

[Whether you've met an unfortunately end on the SS Swift, or deep in the depths, wrapped in the crushing tentacles of the kraken... You're not there anymore. You also don't seem to be dead. Maybe. It's difficult to tell, seeing as you no longer have any of the injuries you sustained on the ship... But you're also no longer on the ship.

Your eyes awaken to a cloudless sky, and a dry, dry, desert. A weak breeze struggles to blow even the dust from the cracked earth. There isn't a drop of water for miles around.

But what is around... is a ship. About a dozen yards away from where you've awoken is a tall, two-mast galleon, beached on the wastes, listing to the right.

How did it get here? Who knows. How did YOU get here?

Might be questions for a later time, seeing as you're waking up with your murderer.

Welcome to the Locker.]

Didn't she say they're able to basically teleport from ship to ship? How likely is that to end up happening once they realize something's up?

[ It's a good idea, but that minor point could be an issue. ]

[scouserer]

[...Oh, yeah, he forgot that was a thing.]

If I'm being honest? Probably very likely. So let's not fuck it up, alright?

[He gives Alice a sardonic smile.]

[conceivesfrenzy]

As if I'd ever let that happen.

[ giggles! ]

As bad of an idea as it sounds, it would be a good way to split up numbers...

[scouserer]

If I ever do come up with any good ideas, make sure I haven't been replaced by some sort of evil doppleganger, alright?

[conceivesfrenzy]

I'll see what I can do. ♡

[ Well, he thinks he'd manage the sneaking and commandeering part okay if that's what they want to go with...? He's not doing anything that isn't sanctioned by Alice, though, and for all he knows she might have other ideas for them already. ]

What do you want me to do, Alice?

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ ... hm. She thinks about it for a little bit. ]

Well, if we're going with Constantine's idea, you'd probably do better trying to help get on the other boat, right? Espionage was technically your thing.

[ what did they even do outside of frame Lloyd a bunch of times, anyway....... ]

[thisaroma]

[ figure out where their enemies were going to be so they could off them I guess???? at least he does stuff in rays lmao

He nods. ]

Yeah, that makes sense to me too. I'll plan to do that, then.
