Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 6, 2011 11:59:02 PM)
..I hope that's where she wants to go *he says as he leans into the hall to watch* Maniac.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 6, 2011 11:59:17 PM)
She smiled a bit after the mouses ball. "Well, I imagine it's good excersize."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:01:37 AM)
Still crazy. *and he looks back at Azu* They sell people sized ones you know. I think I know what to get you for your birthday now.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:02:00 AM)
*The ball bounced and went careening down the stairs, bouncing more and more as it went down and rolled to a stop down below. A slight scrabbling noise was heard before the little field mouse clawed her way up the top step, laying there and panting before she went scurrying forward and climbed up onto Octavian's shoe*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:02:18 AM)
"I bring you a gift, and you want me to fall and break my neck." Tsks. "That's not very nice."

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:03:14 AM)
She offered a polite nod to the mouse, while her chimera was still watching them both warily, a watch butterfly.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:04:03 AM)
*He reaches down to scoop up the mouse, setting her on the shoulder of his metal arm* No worry about that. The one I'm thinking of is inflatable. Soft and bouncy.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:04:59 AM)
*She circled around on the shoulder, crawling closer to the collar so she could curl up, tiny claws holding securely to the fabric of the captain's tunic*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:05:37 AM)
She shook her head. "Incorrigible." Her butterfly, in his deep voice and Britsh accent which someone wasn't really butterfly like but thats what he had. "You should accept gifts Mistress, it's the polite thing to do remember." She sent it a frown. "Don't help."

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:06:14 AM)
*squeak squeak SQUEAK squeak squeak squeak*

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:06:50 AM)
*he laughs, softly*Says the butterfly that won't even wear the nice hat I made him *And he peers at the mouse* Need something, XO?

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:07:26 AM)
*she squeaked a few more times and pointed down the steps*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:07:44 AM)
She sipped her coffee, watching curiously.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:08:32 AM)
You need down to change? *Asked as he brings his hand back up to the mouse*

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:09:10 AM)
*She climbed onto the hand, scurrying over to his fingertips, leaning forward and pointing a paw forward, tail flicking and squeaking!*

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:10:51 AM)
I think I'm being commanded like a horse. I'll be right back. Unless you want to come sit in my cabin? *said to Azu as he gives the mouse a scritch between the ears*

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:11:52 AM)
*At the scritch she flopped on the fingers and lolled like a happy little rodent*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:11:55 AM)
She shook her head, not wanting to intrude. "I can wait." And she'd take up a spot against the railing, staring at the ocean. Rolling her eyes at some soft mutter from her butterfly.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:13:29 AM)
*He walks Serendipity to her cabin, setting her down in front of the door before returning to the deck to wait with Azu* I seriously wonder where she finds these toys. *said as he pads up behind said Eshu*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:15:02 AM)
"Well, I'd imagine at a pet store." Azu commented, enjoying her star/ocean gazing. The butterfly though was watching him, possibly glaring, can a butterfly glare?

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:16:43 AM)
*She sighed as she finally squeezed under her door, hopping out a few moments later as she pulled her boots on* EVIL BALL!

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:17:20 AM)
Good point. *he mutters, huffing softly before fishing out a cigar and lighting it. He pointedly ignores the butterfly's glare. When the mouse returns, he glances over his shoulder at her* What did you expect, XO?

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:17:57 AM)
That! *she said pointing at where the ball lay at the bottom of the stairs* Is -so- false advertising!

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:18:22 AM)
How's that? It's a ball. For hamsters.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:18:28 AM)
"Looked interesting." Azu admitted as she turned around, her butterfly skittering over to be on whatever one of her shoulders was facing Oct so it could continue it's watch.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:19:10 AM)
"Have fun and exercise your pet" /deathtrap/!

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:20:01 AM)
She sipped her coffee to cover too much of a smile. Used to ignoring her butterfly crawling about her person it seemed.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:20:34 AM)
*Seren's eyes kept slipping over to the butterfly, licking her lips slightly though she didn't seem completely aware she was doing it*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:21:24 AM)
The butterfly started to include Seren in it's angry looks, it was a busily glaring little thing.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:21:34 AM)
Yes. It is fun. For those of us watching you rolling helplessly down the stairs.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:22:25 AM)
I will eat you.. *she stated simply to the butterfly before looking back at Octavian. Her ears folded back, overly-large eyes got even larger and rounder and her tail curled around her leg as she sniffed* ... you'd let me fall to my -doom-? DOOM?

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:23:59 AM)
"You'd find that difficult." Azu adjusted her shirt a bit, making the butterfly fight for balance all of a sudden. "What's gotten into you...be nice." She shook her head. "Please forgive him, he's been a little on edge lately."

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:24:52 AM)
Butterflies are crunchy it's okay. *She smiled brightly, then promptly went back to pathetic looking sad-face of doom at Oct*

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:25:19 AM)
Capt'n do we hafta beat someone?

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:25:51 AM)
No. But I will let you flail about inside the ball. I didn't figure you were heavy enough to hurt yourself bouncing down those short fall steps. But if you're so worried about your ball-y doom, I'll come up with something. *then, to the butterfly* You're safe here, little brother. As safe as the XO and I can make you. You've my word on that. Here, among all places, you can relax. A little. *and back to the pooka* No. He's just doing what he feels is his job. I can't fault that.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:26:40 AM)
Did the butterfly make the bruise or do I hafta eat somebody?

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:27:36 AM)
There was a small flare of glamour around the butterfly and it fell to the floor, though, now it looked like a large (dog-sized) black cat, with a set of crystaline armor fit perfectly around it's body, flowing with it. Then it licked it's lips at Seren. Azu sighed. "It wasn't nameless, and must you take things so personally?" The new chimera didn't reply.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:28:30 AM)
A set of wings were settled on the sides of the cat as well, but blended almost perfectly into the rest of it's form until it shifted a little.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:28:38 AM)
*She eyed the cat-now and lifted an eyebrow* I have a boot.. and you're surrounded by water..

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:28:58 AM)
It yawned at her.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:28:59 AM)
You will calm yourself, nameless, or I will remove you from my ship. Unless you're just playing with my XO. In that case, continue. *and, to Serendipity* You too. No antagonizing our guests, it's rude.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:29:34 AM)
*She stomped her feet a moment and sulked* Aww! But I was havin' fun... always gotta go messin' up my fun.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:30:52 AM)
As long as our guest -knows- you're playing, I don't mind. But I suspect he's in no mood to play after recent events.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:31:09 AM)
"He'll be fine, he always takes threats of being eaten a bit personally." Azu shook her head at her chimera. "And I'm fine Miss Seren, I just had a small incident."

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:32:10 AM)
Hmm.. *She sighed and went padding out of the room suddenly, going back down to her room. A few moments later she returned yet again and flopped down to the floor, opening the sardine can and offering some out to the kitty* A small incident with someone's fist or foot? I'll eat 'em!

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:33:18 AM)
*He smirks a bit, watching his XO offer the salty peace offering*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:33:44 AM)
Nameless would sniff at the food, then eat daintily after a moment of thought. "I was assaulted by a troll teenager, though I believe nameless frightened him off rather well." The cat harumphed while it ate, hackles raising then falling at the reminder.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:36:11 AM)
Do we need to eat him? *looking up at Octavian*

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:37:13 AM)
I'd prefer to find out -why- he did what he did. It's better to rehabilitate someone then eat them right off. If he was being manipulated, or was desperate, we would punish him slightly less severely

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:37:46 AM)
She shook her head. "It is not needed."

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:41:30 AM)
Nameless finished his snack, sniffing around the can just a moment before sitting on his haunches next to Azu and returning to keeping an evil kitty eye on Octavian.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:44:36 AM)
It's not needed, maybe, but we know he'll never be caught by mortal authorities...and even if he does, we'd probably want to pull his ass out to prevent him from Forgetting. It's just...the right thing to do. To seek some manner of justice.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:45:32 AM)
She frowned a bit, and while she didn't argue, she didn't agree either.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:46:38 AM)
If you've got an opinion, Azu, I'd like to hear it. I've got no real right to do any justice-ing in the city, anyway, so unless he stumbles aboard the Everbright, it's not like I'll ever see him to punish him.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:47:42 AM)
She shook her head. "I just don't wish him ill, I figure he probably had some reason for why he did it. Not that it was a good thing."

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:49:12 AM)
"Mistress is much too kind for her own good." The chimera after a bit more glaring seemed to grow bored with it and stretched out, padding around Seren and seeming to be adjusting to the form.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:49:36 AM)
I'm not a hardliner, Azu. I'm not gonna cut off his hands because he tried to rob you to feed his sickly gramma. If he wanted to snag your shit to bait you to chase him so he could force himself on you in some shady alley...well...it still won't be his hands I remove.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:50:27 AM)
*and, perhaps surprisingly (even for Seren, who knows him a little better) the chill in his voice is far colder then he usually seems. Far colder*

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:50:57 AM)
*If it surprised Seren it didn't show, her tail flicking around, baiting Nameless as he padded around to get used to the form*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:52:19 AM)
She shook her head a little bit. "Either way, I doubt he'll be around the area again, nameless claws him up a bit before he ran off." Paused to watch Seren's tail a moment, cat eyes following it a moment before it trotted back around and flexed wings instead of attacking the tail.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 12:52:35 AM)
(man I'm good at being redundant today)

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:52:52 AM)
He's gonna fly on my face, I just know it.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:53:03 AM)
(it's ok, you're just being thourough! :-D )

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:54:31 AM)
If he does, XO, you may bite him a little. But he might bite you back. *he stretches out his arm, the metal one, frowning absently at it* Anyone want more coffee? I need to top mine up/

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:55:06 AM)
Okay *Her tail thumped a little bit as she grinned, considering a moment* Do we still have some cocoa?

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:57:36 AM)
I restocked the cocoa-tin yesterday. There's also regular powder for chocolate milk. You know I like to keep a lot on board.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 12:59:20 AM)
*Her grin widened even more* Mmm..

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 12:59:53 AM)
Hot cocoa then? Or want some in your coffee? *asked as he stalks in towards the coffee machine*

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:01:12 AM)

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:04:57 AM)
*He returns a few moments later with coffee for himself and a cup of cocoa with a cinnamon stick stirrer-slash-gnawing thing for the pooka* Here, XO.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:05:24 AM)
*She -beamed- and took the cup, sipping it slowly and mixing between gnawing on the cinnamon stick and sipping the cocoa*

Lotus OOC (Feb 7, 2011 1:06:20 AM)
Azu seemed to remember something. "Miss Serendipity, would you like to accompany myself and Captain Octavian on a quest for the fountain of youth?" All the reminders of coffee and she took an appreciative sip of her own. Nameless finally settled back near Azu and returned to giving Octavian the death look.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:06:53 AM)
Um.. maybe? I'm not gonna end up with a normal sized head on a baby-sized body am I?

Lotus OOC (Feb 7, 2011 1:08:14 AM)
"I'd hope not. I'm still studying on it, so it will likely be a bit of time before I'm able to begin."

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:08:26 AM)
*She nodded slightly* ..maybe?

Lotus OOC (Feb 7, 2011 1:09:03 AM)
She offered a nod to that.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:09:17 AM)
It's more for the quest then the goal. Even if we can't dig up information, I still want to go into the dream soon. We need materials to continue Everbright's repairs.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:12:24 AM)
"It should be an interesting quest if nothing else." She grinned a bit. "And if you'd like Captain Octavian, I can cast a wisp, might help you find specific things you are looking for."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:13:22 AM)
It's usually just wander around until you spot something good. Like ore. Right now, I need metal to replate Everbright's hull.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:14:20 AM)
She smiled at some mental image but nodded more thoughtfully.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:15:19 AM)
...What? *he asks, glancing at Azu, curious expression on his scarred features*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:15:38 AM)
She shook her head negatively. "Just was thinking."

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:16:08 AM)
Metal's not nearly as much fun.. much harder to gnaw..

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:16:35 AM)
"Probably wouldn't taste very good either."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:18:19 AM)
We can look for good wood, too. Add some features, and let you gnaw the everliving shit out of the scraps.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:19:04 AM)
YAY! Yummy wood!

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:19:57 AM)
She sipped her coffee again, frowning some as she notes her chimera glaring and nudges it with foot. Finally nameless lays down with a huff.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:20:38 AM)
Eventually, I'll invent some kind of regenerating teething ring for you.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:22:29 AM)
Only if it tastes good

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:24:22 AM)
Of course. *he ponders a moment, then asks Azu* Alright, Azu, failing the fountain, what would you want to quest for?

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:25:24 AM)
"Fail? Eshu don't fail to find anything, it might just take us a while." Azu commented with a grin.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:26:19 AM)
*he waggles a hand* I mean if you can't find any information within a short time. I still want to go into the dream, so I'll come up with secondary targets.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:28:13 AM)
"I haven't been in the local dreaming for some time, I know a lot of the land west of the city used to be swamp, and a might awful to walk even with a silver path."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:28:38 AM)
*he grins* Azu...think about for a second.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:30:02 AM)
She rolled her eyes at him. "I know it's to be expected here, but the dreaming doesn't always compliment the world."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:31:22 AM)
No, no. We don't -walk- in the dreaming, Azu. *he grins* We ride in style.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:32:15 AM)
She paused then nodded accent to that. "Fair point. I'm more accustomed to walking."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:33:34 AM)
We can put you in the crow's nest. The wind in your hair will settle your urge to walk.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:34:21 AM)
"Sounds like fun at any rate."

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:34:53 AM)
She'd glance up toward the crows nest, just inspecting it.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:35:32 AM)
My XO knows. There's nothing quite so exhilerating as clipping along at twenty knots, a few hundred feet over the earth.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:36:20 AM)
*She just GRINNED* And jumping off it into the water.. wheeee

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:36:37 AM)
That got her to grin a bit, the eshuess looking back down. "I suppose I'll have to wear something a bit warmer though."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:37:19 AM)
I'm sure my XO will take you shopping for altitude gear. She'll probably need to update her own.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:39:15 AM)
"Sounds good, I need to tell her to keep better watch on the things you attach to Everbright." Teasing.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:39:19 AM)
*She clutched the cap and goggles on her head* Nu uh! They're perfect!

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:40:16 AM)
A jacket, XO, and warm pants. Remember how cold it gets at ten thousand feet.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:41:42 AM)
Oh. Oooh new jackets.. mmm.. burrowing..

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:41:48 AM)
I have tail covers!

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:42:19 AM)
We need to see if we can get you a...sword? Do you use a sword? I never bothered to ask.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:42:44 AM)
She observed, nursing her coffee.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:45:44 AM)
Me or her?

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:46:24 AM)
You, XO. I'm sure Azu just throws nameless at people.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:46:42 AM)
Oh. Um.. I guess I can make do with one if I really have to..

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:46:51 AM)
What do you prefer?

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:47:31 AM)
Nameless returned to glaring. Azu commented lightly, mostly to herself. "I have a knife."

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:47:49 AM)
Rapier?

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:49:02 AM)
Rapier, alright. Saber acceptable, or strictly rapier ?

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:49:18 AM)
Either or

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:50:08 AM)
Ok. So that's one weapon to worry about. If Faith comes through...which I'm not sure about...I'll have something for myself.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:52:02 AM)
*She nodded somewhat and laid back on the floor, stretching otu slowly*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:54:02 AM)
Nameless watched Seren lay down, tail waving a bit and the cat bending a bit lower to the ground.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:54:43 AM)
Mmm.. gnawing kitty time..

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:54:58 AM)
*he snickers to himself* Now to figure out how to pay for things. I don't even know any swordsmiths in the city. Snow says he does guns but not pokey things...I think

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:56:20 AM)
Nameless pounced onto Seren's chest, then laid back down. Azu just watched, apparently not used to her chimera acting catlike.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 1:56:49 AM)
*She squeaked and promptly laughed, reaching up and scritching Nameless' head, rubbing lightly* Good kitty..

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 1:57:14 AM)
If I had a forge...*he mutters*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 1:59:07 AM)
His fur was a bit sharp if rubbed against it's natural flow but otherwise soft. He started to purr a bit though, odd creature he was. Azu shook her head. "I don't know if there's one in the city, though if there is one at the hold that Dee and Roy run, I doubt they'd consider you welcome."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:00:28 AM)
I doubt it. Though, to be honest, I was considering offering Everbright's services to them, at a premium.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:02:50 AM)
"I'd just be wary." Expression concerned as she thought about that possibility.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:04:14 AM)
I'm always wary. But i need money to hire a crew. And money , unfortunately, doesn't grow on trees. Everbright's been a privateer before. She'd manage, doing it again.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:05:51 AM)
She nodded, thought still seemed worried.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:06:29 AM)
..If there were another power to hire on with, trust me, I'd do it.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:07:58 AM)
"I must admit such options are limited here."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:10:35 AM)
Yeah. It's a strange sensation feeling trapped while living on a fucking ship.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:11:46 AM)
She smiled some. "Well, you could always explore on land a bit. Walking around New Orleans always tends to be interesting if nothing else."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:13:50 AM)
Ugh. -Walking-? *he says, in his best feigned tone of disgust*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:15:35 AM)
"If you'd like I'll come along, I'll even slow down so you don't run out of breath trying to keep up."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:16:57 AM)
Maybe I'll build a walking machine to move my legs for me.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:17:47 AM)
"We could rent you a wheelchair or a Segway."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:18:22 AM)
I would never be able to live with myself if I rode a segway unironically.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:19:00 AM)
"I think it'd be a bit amusing. Get you in your captain's hat, and a scarf. Video would be needed."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:19:30 AM)
I'd have to carve a little figurehead to mount on the front. Maybe a big nautical steering wheel.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:20:28 AM)
She nodded approvingly. "A majestic picture."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:20:58 AM)
See, that'd be ok. Living the satire of my own seriousness.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:22:19 AM)
"It would be pretty amusing. Perhaps you could use it for advertising."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:22:49 AM)
Serve as my own barker. It's good I have no shame.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:23:47 AM)
"I can see you making rounds up and down the docks." Sipping her coffee, and seeming to have some mental picture of it given the amused glint in her eye.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:24:08 AM)
I'd need a giant foam sword to wave around menacingly.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:25:01 AM)
She pondered but shook her head. "I can't picture you with a foam sword..." But she could everything else?

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:25:56 AM)
Hmm. *he sighs, rubbing his face, grinning ruefully* My classmates would never let me live it down, if they saw me.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 2:26:07 AM)
Eat 'em..

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:26:19 AM)
"It does seem to be a catch all answer."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:27:37 AM)
Indeed. I think my XO is practicing her Redcapinese. TO better attract a redcappy mate.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 2:28:38 AM)
*She glowered at Octavian*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:29:01 AM)
Azu raised a brow. "People of all interests in the world I suppose."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:30:24 AM)
*He glares right back at Serendipity, for a moment* I've no say in the love life of my XO. Unless she's taking advantage of one of her inferiors.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 2:30:45 AM)
We don't have any!

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:31:15 AM)
Azu grinned a little as she watched them, but again took a well timed sip of her coffee.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:31:21 AM)
But we will recruit a crew, preferably soon.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 2:31:47 AM)
Besides, I have no love life to discuss, so nyah

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:32:37 AM)
*he smirks* Not for lack of his trying. *and sips his own coffee*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:33:10 AM)
Her expression was more curious as she glanced between them.

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 2:33:13 AM)
*She rolled her eyes* There's been no trying!

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:34:26 AM)
"Is having an unwanted admirer an application requirement?"

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:35:01 AM)
*he waggles his hand, lighting a cigar a moment later* It's of no consequence. Anyway. No, it is not, miss Azu. It is, however, something for me to tease about.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:36:02 AM)
"One has to wonder." She commented, shaking her head. (ooh hubby made bacon...*steals*)

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 2:39:09 AM)
(Ok, I loves ya but I has to go sleepies

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:39:20 AM)
(nini then!)

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:39:26 AM)
(night! :) nameless will be sad to lose his pillow)

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 2:40:03 AM)
(She could say there and just fall asleep, Oct would likely either carry her to her room or just drape a blanket on her)

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:40:19 AM)
(*nod*)

Serendipity Jones (Feb 7, 2011 2:40:28 AM)
(nini :) )

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:41:57 AM)
*Oct takes a few puffs on his cigar, peering up at the sky for a long moment*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:44:01 AM)
Azu half turned so she could still face those she was speaking to but glance to sea sometimes. "Difficult not to miss it."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:45:04 AM)
Not to miss what, Azu?

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:45:41 AM)
"Being out there dancing across the horizon, as opposed to sitting on the bench, as it were."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:46:28 AM)
Shit yes. I feel...helpless. Static. It is not a comfortable feeling.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:49:01 AM)
She leaned on the rail, with her back to the sea this time, but looking up. "I can understand the sentiment."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:50:18 AM)
I could up and leave Ever here. She'd dissapear into the dreaming, find a new captain. But...well...I won't. It's just not in me.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:52:31 AM)
"If you left I wouldn't know what to call you anymore." She smiled a bit, then more serioiusly added. "I'm certain you'll get her fixed up."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:54:02 AM)
*he nods, smiling* Yeah. Just a little more work on her hull..which is waiting on materials...and more work in her cogitors...restoring her memory. That I can do now. -AM- doing now.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:56:13 AM)
"It is all right for you to take a break now and again as well. I imagine she can sense you're frustration and that likely doesn't make her feel any better either. I know nameless tends to worry too much, but he tends to know when somethings amiss even if I haven't said anything."

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:56:49 AM)
but he also tends*

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 2:58:21 AM)
Maybe. There's so much damage to her cogitors though. Half the time, I'm not sure she remembers herself. It's like...It's like recovering from a stroke, I guess. Or traumatic brain injury. *tapping his own head here*

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 2:59:16 AM)
"Have you thought about looking for someone with Heather Balm?"

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 3:01:21 AM)
*he shakes his head a bit* It's not healing like that. Everbright regenerates...heals...like almost any other chimera. Whatever this is, it's not healing like that. My repairs are working though.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 3:02:41 AM)
She nodded. "I wish I could do more to help."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 3:04:40 AM)
If you knew clockworks, I could have you help with the repairs. *He waggles his hand* But it's no reall worry. It's happening, albeit slowly. The thing making me feel trapped most of all is the lack of crew.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 3:06:22 AM)
"I'm surprised you haven't had more volunteers. If I wasn't so tied to this place I would have signed up already." She smiled some. "Though I haven't seen any others of my kith here."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 3:08:01 AM)
No. Closest I've come is Antoine...but he chose the Parliment over my galley.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 3:08:24 AM)
"The chef?" She seemed to be uncertain on placing him.

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 3:08:42 AM)
Yup.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 3:09:18 AM)
Then she nodded. "I imagine if there were more eshu, you'd have more numbers."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 3:11:03 AM)
Probably. Most of the last crew was Eshu, Pooka, Nockers and Boggans. the Bos'n was a troll, as was the gunnery officer. One sluagh.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 3:12:18 AM)
"Well, I'm sure there's a sluagh that's thinking about it."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 3:12:56 AM)
*He snorts* Ironic thing is, no. Already turned me down. As soon as she found out I'd never date a crewmember.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 3:14:22 AM)
"Ah." Azu nodded. "Fair enough, you'll scare off a bunch of prospects that way."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 3:15:12 AM)
*He just kinda blinks at her, then shakes his head* Fuck that.

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 3:15:39 AM)
She laughed. "It was a compliment."

Octavian Vanderaa (Feb 7, 2011 3:16:52 AM)
...oh. Ok. Thank you for that. (eek, past my bedtime. Time to flee! If you'll be on tomorrow, I'll be around same sidhe-time, same sidhe-channel. And, best of all, no work for a few days after that)

Azu Ongokos (Feb 7, 2011 3:17:12 AM)
(heh okies, I'll catch you later :) )
