BOAT: THISTLE

[crittersheep]

[ You’re in a sleek, gilded reception room aboard a large and - aside from your team - empty ship. It’s full of fabulous kitchens (splattered with blood but still usable!) and ballrooms (full of instruments, all playable!) and glittering spires and stagnant-smelling but comfortable sleeping quarters. When nobody is using the intercoms to speak, a tune hums through.

Other than that, there’s thick mist surrounding everything, a path lit only by the ship’s signal light as it travels toward whatever it is you’re in search of and away from the home you can never return to. Waves crash gently against the hull, growing louder and fiercer as time goes on, and there’s faint wailing and howling in the distance…what is going on in this sea? Well, it’s not very important to you. What’s important is surviving.

You have a life to live. ]

[Flora is at least not injured or in a conversation with a god inside her but she is shivering violently and starting to panic.]

W-What is that message?? What—we need to do something about everyone's wounds! We're... we're going to die...

[when all the kids are in a pile to keep warm, he's going to kneel down next to her and nod to said pile]

Lupin said to - to do what you want to do, what's our plan?

[She cried a little while helping Lupin but she's leveled out with controlled breathing now, going through things carefully]

...You're right, we should use the robot. Remove the brand from our ship. I don't know what it's doing, but it can't be helping. Then the second charge to treat the infected wounds. Leave the treasure, of course, we don't need that now. And then—we have to get everyone warmed up, and away from the ocean. We can keep everyone in the inner cabins while we boil water and collect whatever we can find for blankets.

[he nodding along with her, he's focusing on her so he doesn't have to listen to the other shit he's hearing because nope, not touching it]

Works for me.

Don't think we'll be moving far from here, but - sit next to Lupin, he's got my j-jacket to keep you guys warm. I can go find blankets and boil the water, since you're taking care of him.

Re: DISCUSSION

[reportinastorm]

...Mm. Yeah. I can keep an eye on them.

Will you be okay? C-Call out if anything happens...

Re: DISCUSSION

[leonheartedly]

Yeah - yeah, I'll be okay. Don't worry about me, f-focus on them, all right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[reportinastorm]

I c-can worry about all of you at once.

[huffs.]

Hurry back.

Re: DISCUSSION

[leonheartedly]

You can worry about them more.

[welcome to Tyr and priorities. He nods] I'll be quick.

[Staring at his hands like something horrifying is there. There is actually nothing there because he's hallucinating it all, but yeah.]

Yeah, no kidding. Holy shit how fast does this stuff move?

[reportinastorm]

What... stuff?

[the fact that there is nothing there does not stop her from also looking at his hands in horror]

[shortforever]

[lmao Flora]

This stuff right here, it's already up to my elbows!

[He holds out his arms like something is there to see.]
