CH. 7: Voyage of the Bullring

[HorizonsDream]

"I, apparently, need to go back to Sanctuary to be judged on if I'm ready to move on with my training," Jocelyn says. "I assume it is a boring experience, lots of questions and such."

[Breila]

"It might be a good idea for me to go back to the Academy" Ouragana says. "Though I must say, I think I can learn a lot from Thaddeus, too. His area of study and mine have not overlapped much. So I am open to go just about anywhere."

[Nuke]

"Never did like that little man. Too big for his britches. Sometimes fighting is the only way out." Val pauses to down another glass of wine. "But, some of these girls think they can talk through anything." She ways her hand at the rest. "But that is another story."

[Jenara]

"I have no actual plans, I go where the wind takes me..." Arei comments, "I do have but one plan, to go to Hashadeth, to keep a promise." She grins, "I promised to meet someone."

[JadedDM]

"Well, we wish you luck in the future, whatever you do," Terra says, raising her glass.

Sierra nods and does likewise. "Hear, hear."

By this point in time, the women have more or less finished their meals. Sierra leans back in her chair, and Killia begins cleaning up the empty plates and glasses.

"Well, we have things to discuss tonight," Terra says. "Don't stay up too late; you'll all be on the morning shift again tomorrow."

[Jenara]

"Thank you." Arei says with a grin, "I'm happy to be on your vessel.. could I ask one question? Your cargo, it seems to be a well kept secret, is there any reason for us to be concerned?"

[JadedDM]

The sisters share a look. "Don't you worry about the cargo," Sierra says. "Need-to-know basis, and you don't need to know."

[Jenara]

"That is good enough for me." Arei nods, taking a sip of her wine. "This really is good wine "

[HorizonsDream]

"Well, since you two have things to discuss," Jocelyn says. "We'll be on our way. Thanks for the meal. It was great, and the stories too," she adds as she takes her leave. Since she has to be up in the morning, she heads down to her bunk to get some sleep.

[JadedDM]

"So you've said," Sierra replies to Areilon. "Three times now."

"Have a good night," Terra says to them all. Jocelyn and Ouragana depart, heading to their bunks early so they can get up early enough to pray and study, respectively.

[Jenara]

"And that I think... " she says standing, "it is my time to leave."

"I bid you goodnight." Bowing she motions to Val. "Coming?" Regardless of the response she leaves the room and heads to her bunk, checking Telsa is safe and cleaning the blade.

[Nuke]

"Yeah, it is late" Val rises with a little stagger to move to her bunk. "Thanks Arei, for inviting me."

[JadedDM]

Areilon and Val return to their bunks for the night. The half-orc quickly falls asleep, the alcohol relaxing her.

Areilon finds her blade where she left it, and spends an hour or so cleaning off all of the oil from the blade, until it shines once more. Then she, too, gets some sleep.

The following morning, Jocelyn wakes up early (around 4AM) to pray, and Ouragana gets up at around 5:30AM to study. Val and Areilon wake up shortly thereafter, the half-orc now sobered up. The four them head down to the galley for breakfast before beginning their shifts for the day.

The galley is packed this morning as the other sailors scheduled to work soon are all there to grab a bite before work starts.

Food on ships always starts out nice enough, as the perishables are the first to be served. Once they run out, all that's left is dried rations like hardtack, which can get boring after awhile. Luckily, it's only been a day, so breakfast today is a fried fish and half a slice of orange (to fight scurvy), with clean water to drink.

There aren't all that many spots left to sit, although if the four women wish to sit together, they may find four seats near each other if they search hard enough. No officers are present, but there are some familiar crewmen in the room.

===============

It is Agate 29 (Frostday), 312 at 6:00 AM.

(OOC: Casters can--and probably should--pick new spells. As Breila isn't here, I'll pick Ouragana's.)

[Jenara]

Taking up her food Arei looks for Javos, if she finds him she will find a seat nearby. (She slashed some perfume on her).

"May I?" She asks.

[HorizonsDream]

OOC: Protection for Evil to replace magical stone and Bless to replace Light. All the first level prayers are the same. 2nd Level spells Cure Moderate Wounds, Cure Moderate Wounds, and Hold Person

IC: Jocelyn gets her food, and joins Areilon with Javos. "All ready making friends with the men I see," she says with a small smirk as she looks to Javos. "I'm Jocelyn."
