Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 21, 2011 11:59:58 PM)
He rolled his eyes...people and their 'real' names.
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:00:25 AM)
*that wins a smile* Savi. If I didn't say.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:00:59 AM)
*He muses for a second, exhaling smoke slowly* XO...if miss Savi can manage, take her in to meet Everbright, yeah? So she can come aboard whenever she wants.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:01:15 AM)
Does it bother you being out of water? OH! Are you like the girl with the long blond hair that if she dried off her flipper they turned into legs but if they get wet they turn into flippers again?
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 22, 2011 12:02:41 AM)
Albel smirked some at Seren's description, taking another drag on the cigar. "Well, at least we have a fire people can use if they need too...even if it's small as shit better than nothing I guess."
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:03:22 AM)
..Should probably limit useage of it at firsy. Too much strain could drain it completely.
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:03:33 AM)
*seems instantly tense about the idea of going further -in-* No.. no legs..and dry .. *she shakes her head vehemently, fingers gripping the railing as if she was ready to dive backward*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 22, 2011 12:03:35 AM)
"Yeah nothing at the moment, til we can get it stable."
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:04:13 AM)
Oh. Alright. Um.. do you want a damp towel to make you more comfy?
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:05:03 AM)
I .. um.. *She began twisting at the waist to look about* .. think there's a wash basin..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:05:25 AM)
I'll start harvesting dross where I can. If we fuel the fire, it should help....i think. *and, to Savitas* It's just right there, miss. I'd like you to meet my ship so she knows you. You don't -have- to, but Everbright would be cheered by having someone to swim with.
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:06:41 AM)
Won't dry that fast, shouldn't ..anyway.. *looking to Octavian with clear fear in her wide eyes* How..far..In?
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 22, 2011 12:06:42 AM)
"Yeah we've been trying to do what we can for it. We'll get it worked out, even if it's a bitch and a half."
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 22, 2011 12:07:20 AM)
Then he smiled some to himself, darkly, like at some personal amusement.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:07:24 AM)
*He points to a door at the back of the deck* One door. You can see the water from inside. Don't even have to close the door.
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 22, 2011 12:09:05 AM)
(having issues with lag, gonna restart...we'll say Al is lost in sinister thought.)

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:11:26 AM)
*He nods, smiling his most charming smile* No problem, miss. If you ever want to meet her, just let me know. I'll carry you in myself. So if I do anything you'd not like you can bite my nose off.

Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 22, 2011 12:13:36 AM)
(ty) Albel seems to come out of whatever plans he was making and pay attention to the boat again.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:15:10 AM)
Well, you can introduce yourself to her from here, I s'pose. She just can't talk back *this is mused, half to himself*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:15:53 AM)
Too bad we can't get a console up here for her.
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 22, 2011 12:16:51 AM)
"Well, I should take off...it's about my turn for a shift looking after the fire." He commented. "Catch you guys later, don't get killed by the wandering shadowy doom chimera." He waved with his clawed hand and headed away.

Console? Introduction from here would be perfect, I think. How do I talk to it?
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:17:21 AM)
Her. *correcting herself*
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:18:23 AM)
Just speak aloud, so she can hear you. Her terminal...the bit of her that lets her hear you, is in the room there. If you peek in the window, you can see it. *he says, pointing to something that looks like an old fashioned TV built into one wall, between the panels of the mostly glass wall*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:21:06 AM)
*Serendipity rocked back and forth on her feet, staring at Savi's tail intently as her own flicked behind her, slowly scooting closer before murmuring* Can I touch it?
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:21:13 AM)
*she shifts her grip on the railing on either side of her seat..her tail curling and slapping idly at the deck* I am pleased to meet you? Savi is a name, Miss Everbright.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:22:56 AM)
*the tv-thing flickers soft pastel colors for a moment, and a soft voice comes from inside. Not that one could make it out from here, over the sound of the water, but it says* Greetings, Savi. Guest profile saved to profile memory.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:23:42 AM)
Ever says hi!
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:24:20 AM)
She knows you now, miss. You can come aboard whenever you need to, or want to. As long as you don't try to hurt her, she'll let you aboard.
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:24:29 AM)
*she tilts her head at the flickering colors..checking with Octavian if it's alright..then looking to Serendipity* Oh good? *she smiles and grips the railing again to use the leverage so she can lift a section of her tail from the deck, waving it in front of Serendipity*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:25:04 AM)
*She grinned happily and scooted forward to cautiously run her hand over Savi's tail* So cool..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:26:52 AM)
Are you from around here, miss? *he asks, curious, as he leans back against the rail again, giving Savi a bit of personal space as he does...considering how nervous she seems, it seems prudent*
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:28:04 AM)
*the translucent sections of fin between the ribbing are almost insubstantial at the edges, toughening the closer they get to the muscular shape of her tail. Scales are smooth and almost iridescent in the faint light* Is it? *before looking to Oct again* I..don't know, mostly.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:29:19 AM)
Hmm. You're not the first mermaid I've met. Which is why I ask. I don't know of any mer-cities in the area.
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:32:20 AM)
*a slow blink* Cities..me neither? *well and truly lost on that one, until it dawns* Oh! No no.. *she laughs a bit, the sound light, reaching to indicate Serendipity without actually touching her* Mouse.. *then brushing her knuckles against her collarbone* Fish.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:33:08 AM)
Oh....well that explains a bit. Most of -them- are dolphins and the like. That I've met at least.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:34:47 AM)
So.. you're a pooka? *This made Serendipity's ears perk straight up as she grinned at Savi*
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:35:07 AM)
Only by day.. *smiling crookedly*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:35:51 AM)
*She giggled again and began absently petting Savi's tail*
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:36:33 AM)
What do you do, miss Savi? Other then swim about.
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:39:21 AM)
Do? Find lost things. I find illegal immigrants and tow them to land on Tuesdays, fish up corpses from the harbor and put them places people can find them over the weekend..Marco likes sea glass, so I get that for him on opposite Thursdays.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:41:32 AM)
...Good that you keep busy I s'pose. Do you manage to keep yourself well fed and the like?
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:42:16 AM)
*a smile that shows the sharp glass-like teeth* Calvin brings me lunches on Thursdays.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:43:04 AM)
Ahh. Well, you're welcome to come to us if you ever want a snack. We keep enough food for our whole crew aboard....and right now we have no crew...so...plenty of extra
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:43:21 AM)
What do you, do?
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:43:33 AM)
Other than..walk about?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:44:11 AM)
We run tours on the Everbright's mortal mask. People love sailing ships, and she's one of rather few left, so...
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:46:40 AM)
Tours and reenactments
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:47:26 AM)
*flips her tail a little again* What do you act?
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:47:39 AM)
Sea battles!
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:48:15 AM)
*One can almost see the little gaslight go off over Oct's head* Miss Savi....how would you like a job?
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:49:52 AM)
*blinks* I guess the floater corpses have been a little slow lately..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:50:38 AM)
*he grins over at Serendipity* I'm thinking Pirate Movie Saturday. Pirates and ghost sailors and mermaids, oh my.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 12:52:51 AM)
*She grinned and bounced happily* ARG!
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:54:14 AM)
*looks between the two* I can hide..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:55:39 AM)
you wouldn't have to hide, miss Savi. People would be expecting a mermaid to look like a mermaid. you'd just be yourself. Sit on deck, maybe in a little pool, reading books or magazines. Maybe sing some songs if you can, or just tell stories to little kids, about pirates and handsome princes.
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:57:14 AM)
Sit.. like this? *tilting her head*
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 12:58:49 AM)
I don't sing very well..but it's no worse than my talking. Better to sing, maybe. Stories..broken. *wrinkling her flat nose into a ripple before it smooths again* This is okay?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 12:59:59 AM)
*he nods* Exactly. It'd be a chance to interact with people. Entertain them. Bask in the wonder of little children.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:00:23 AM)
..Hiding in plain sight *he muses*
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 1:00:55 AM)
How many? *a little worried* Many people?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:04:33 AM)
Probably not at first. But if we get popular, maybe a lot. But that won't be for a while
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 1:10:13 AM)
*she considers it for a long moment..looking between the two afterward* Tour..stops somewhere along the ride?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:11:12 AM)
We don't go anywhere. Just stay docked up, let people wander the ship with a tourguide. Right now that's just the XO and myself.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 1:13:31 AM)
Hey Capt'n, what -does- XO mean?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:13:49 AM)
Executive Officer.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 1:14:02 AM)
But that's with an E ...
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:14:21 AM)
The dude came up with it was pooka.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 1:14:29 AM)
Oh..
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 1:14:36 AM)
Still think it means hugs and kisses.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:14:53 AM)
*straight face!* Nope. that's X-O-X-O
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 1:15:13 AM)
You mean you have to have two of each?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:15:18 AM)
Yup.
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 1:17:19 AM)
I can sing..for children. From here. *one short dull claw tapping the railing she's on* Want water behind me always, I can try once?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:17:51 AM)
Sure. We can make it a special event...oh! Grand re-opening after the repairs are finished.
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 1:22:40 AM)
*she smiles a little* Okay then. I will do this. When are you done with repairs?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:26:37 AM)
Week, maybe two. Insurance is paying for a pretty decent set of craftsman. Everbright's mask wasn't damaged that badly, so it'll be fixed a lot sooner then the real her.
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 1:28:38 AM)
*she nods, beginning to smile a bit as the idea has time to work it's way past her panic reflex*
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:31:03 AM)
*He too is grinning, seeming entirely pleased at earning a smile from the woman* It's one of the few ways left these ways to get that look of awe on the kid's faces. Older people too, 'cause -everyone- loves sailing ships.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 22, 2011 1:31:36 AM)
*As does occasionally happen, Serendipity has set to staring out at the water and has /completely/ spaced out in doing so*
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 1:32:56 AM)
*blinks as the power flickers around the docks..the lamps going dead nearby* Woah..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:35:12 AM)
*He frowns a bit...the ship's lights stay steady, as they're self contained* Odd.
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 1:37:09 AM)
*nodding her agreement, and in her cautious nature, Too odd* Thank you for hospitality. *hauling her tail up and over the railing to turn herself around, facing the water now* I'll come back, another day.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 1:38:34 AM)
Whenver you want. Even just to talk to Everbright. Dreaming protect, miss Savi
Saviitas (Jan 22, 2011 1:40:37 AM)
Guard and keep, Mister Octavian and XO Serendipity. *pushing off into space to twist in the air and hit the water fingertips first, cleaving almost silently into the depths and staying low..out of sight as she leaves*

*Oct leads the way aboard, into the conference room as usual, where he mucks about with a kettle* Tea, or wine?
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 2:31:31 AM)
I think wine is in order for tonight*as she took a seat,crossing her ankles,laying her hands on her lap,watching him*
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 2:31:51 AM)
Remember what you said before at Rooks about Dee and Roy,about them laying blame to you about Gordy?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 2:32:31 AM)
Yeah. *he says, pouring her out a glass of the sweet red wine before settling himself into his usual seat with a cup of tea*
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 2:35:02 AM)
*she glanced at the wine,but did not take a sip at first letting it breath for a moment*Well,I went to talk to Calvin about someone,and Dee and Roy came up,he informed me they did not like people asking questions and always found out when they did..Let your mind chew on that for a moment*as she picked up the glass,as any lady should took a small sip,yes she had manners when needed very good ones at that,put the glass back on the table and her hand back on her lap*
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 2:36:07 AM)
*Octavian is a sailor. If he ever had manners, they seem long gone now. His feet are up on the table, his chair tilted back, and a newly lit cigar smokes cheerfully in his hand* Alright.
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 2:37:59 AM)
Well,I might irk their ire very soon..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 2:38:28 AM)
Why is that, dear?
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 2:40:46 AM)
Because I can and I want to,simple as that..Everyone here is afraid of them,for good reason yes,but you can not always be afraid. Others wish to stand up to them,this I know but they yet again are afraid*heavy sigh,as she took another drink* I do not plan on being afraid,for now I will bide my time though..So I can continue to learn,which gets me to my other point..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 2:41:15 AM)
*He leans back again, watching, saying nothing*
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 2:41:48 AM)
I need you to teach me all about our Kith,some things I know,but not enough..And Toothless can only teach me what he knows and his knowledge is limited when it comes to our Kith..If you are willing,I would be greateful.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 2:42:54 AM)
I'll teach you what I can. But you have to -listen-. No assuming you know what I'm going to say, no guessing.
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 2:43:46 AM)
*nodding her head*Deal..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 2:44:33 AM)
Good. I'll even see if I can find some ranking House members to substitute for me. Do you even have a house?
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 2:47:01 AM)
*nodding her head once again* And how will you do that? Yes,I do Fiona..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 2:48:16 AM)
Asking, of course. You mean you don't know how to get in touch with other Fiona?
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 2:49:36 AM)
I know of one,in Dallas her name is Mariah..She is the one who has been helping me,when she can*slight shrug*Other than that no,and no I do not wish to go back to Dallas either,despite all that is going on I like it here..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 2:50:39 AM)
You don't need to. You have to think more old-schoo. Write letters. Write letters to her, asking if she knows anyone closer you can write to, to learn more about your house.
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 2:52:29 AM)
Oh,okay I will do just that..Tonight actually when I go home..I will not have to leave New Orleans will I,if I do that?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 2:52:59 AM)
i don't see why you would. You're in control of your own Dan.

*nods*True
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 2:55:07 AM)

*nods*I will rememeber that and try my best..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 2:57:22 AM)
We sidhe are social creatures. Our connections are our base. The stable foundation of what we become later.
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 2:59:20 AM)
I dont feel very social at times,to be honest..I feel well lonely..Define stable?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 3:01:24 AM)
Well, that's why we use letters. When you're feeling good, you send letters. Stable means we have friends and contacts who we can call on when we need support or information...and who can call on us for the same facvors.
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 3:03:40 AM)
Writing simple letters will make you feel that way?*giving him a curious look* I honestly dont consider anyone here my friend,besiedes Toothless and Nyth*slight shrug*You,perhaps as well,but other than that nada..
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 3:04:24 AM)
Friends is just a convienant word to use. Just a circle of people you trust with certain things.
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 3:06:19 AM)
*nodding her head*Oh,okay...That would be you and Toothless*slight shrug*
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 3:06:49 AM)
And, hopefully, the penpals you find.
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 3:09:49 AM)
*nods*Let us hope so
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 3:09:54 AM)
Okay,so what else?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 3:10:35 AM)
*He rubs at his chin* That's the main thing, I think. Get your name out there.
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 3:14:48 AM)
*slight nod of her head*Oh,okay...Well,at least thats a plus
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 3:15:21 AM)
Yeah, it's pretty simple to start. What gets complicated is when favor trading starts in.
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 3:16:23 AM)
*shaking her head*I dont want to know about that just yet,let me focus on this first,if that is alright with you?
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 3:16:38 AM)
Of course. Which is why I started with the easy bit
Faith King (Jan 22, 2011 3:19:11 AM)
And I thank you for that...(im about to pass out on you hun sorry)
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 22, 2011 3:19:20 AM)
