Events
Greta wakes up and hears Tektite yelling

Tektite manages to contain the corrosion of the acid, so that it is no longer eating the boat

Greta knocks on Adelais’ cabin door

“oh, come in” - she’s doing push-ups

Greta - sorry for interrupting your morning routine - Tektite is making some weird noises, I don’t think he’s very well

Adelais nearly falls over as the boat rocks

Greta says, ah god, you alright?

Greta knocks on Tektite’s cabin door

are you okay in there?

tektite says “yesss, good morning”

Greta asks if they can come in

Tektite says “sure” hesitantly

Greta says, well we don’t have to, *wink*

The hole in the wall takes up most of the wall, it is acid like we’ve seen before, the edges are honey-like and gooey

the weather is coming in

Greta says Tektite get out of there

Tektite says no it was my fault, I can fix it

Adelais says let’s leave and lock the door and then get the Captain

Greta says are you okay? we can put you in a barrel

Tektite says are you going to lock me up?

Greta says, nah just keep it contained

Tektite - I can control it, just stay awake, stay awake

They help Tektite move his stuff, and blankets

Adelais says did you have a bad dream again

Tektite says yesss

They all drop into a Adelais’ room to drop off Tektite’s stuff

They stumble into the room

Greta says this isn’t the weather to have a giant hole in the side of the boat

Adelais says it’s like a giant window

Adelais said that the Captain should know what to do, they’ll be able to repair the hole

Tektite says wood and glue

Adelais and Greta together, yeah wood and glue

A youngish man collides with everyone as we go down the stairs

“ah, hello”

Greta asks where is the captain?

“the captain has asks me to warn you about the weather”

ah where is the Captain?

“he’s at the helm”

Greta says thanks for the warning, can we get by now?

Adelais “what if there was a giant hole in the boat?”

“ah we try to avoid that, the captain avoids the holes”

Adelais said what if there was a giant hole in the boat in that room right there

“we would have to look”

The youngish man runs to the Captain

Tektite can hardly walk across the deck, he digs his toe talons into the deck to stable himself

Greta is runnin’, Greta starts losing his footing

The youngish man is sliding across the deck in the bad weather

Adelais is doing okay, so goes to help Greta  - pull him back

Adelais carefully carries on to the Captain’s helm

Tektite goes back below the deck

Greta and Adelais, supporting one another, carefully make their way

Difficult to hear over the wind and the rain but the Captain is yelling at ya’

Greta shouts back “you’ve got a hole in your boat!”

Captain is yelling about a cabin boy

The response is “thank you”

Adelais and Greta keep going, and make it to the steps

Find a random crew member (swabby dave)

Adelais says there’s a hole in the boat

Greta says it’s fucking massive and the waves are coming in

Two crew members come down

“go under! go under! The boat will fill with the waves!”

“fix the hole!”

Adelais says “with what?”

“we’re coming!”

Once you’re below deck one of them runs down the halls yelling “breach!”

“where’s the breach?”

Adelais runs to the cabin, and points

Adelais says the hole is really big, but not unfixable!

As they get in, the edges of the breach is turning to crystal

the splinters of the wood are filled in with black crumbling rock, with green crystals coming out of it, the tips of some of the crystals are tipped with rusty brown

Greta says there weren’t no crystals there before

“what is!?” “is bad?”

Greta says I dunno you’re the ship person

“it bad?”

Adelais says, “Tektite? (he’s not in the room) I don’t know what it is!” “All I know is that it’s not spreading and it’s not fizzing, and those two are bad!”

“crew shout, crew get?”

Adelais says, you’ve got this under control

“should come back?”

Adelais says, should we get out of your way?

nod

Okay, thank you

Greta says I don’t think he knows what he’s doing

Adelais says if we don’t hear wood and gluing then we’ll go back

A load of crew members run passed Stevens in the hold, he’s securing himself and the horse

A couple of the crew members spare him a glance but mostly they are frantically looking for hammers and nails

Stevens says is there anything I can do to assist?

“a hole!”

Stevens said do you require a hole?

* shakes head*

Stevens says are you fixing a hole, is it above the water line

Stevens they sciences at him, “will the water slosh in” “how far above the water line it is” “diameter of the hole”

The crewmember keeps saying “up”

Stevens follows him

The crewmember yells “stop” when he gets to the passenger decks

Stevens can’t fit

Stevens shuffles back down, backing up

Stevens will pull a shipping hold crate, to make a table

and pull out a parchment and quill and start making calculations

Prince will get some brief, stompy commission outside his door (he’s meditating)

The crew ram into the room, a couple of them a trying to pail water out

they busy themselves filling the hole, the good old fashioned planky way - not these crystals

Tektite has ended up in a kitchen

Greta has been shouting for him

Tektite replies “over here”

He’s in a cluttered kitchen, doing science

Stevens is surveying the scene with an O.W.L.

The O.W.L. will collect a sample of the crystal

Tektite is in the kitchen - making the brew

Greta and Adelais, come into the room and are like what?

Greta asks what are you making, is that acid?

Tektite says “no, it is the opposite”

Greta says, ah an alkaline!

Tektite says yesss!

Greta asks if the alkaline is for settling his stomach, or for an acid spillage

Tektite says it’s for a spillage, he hasn’t fully tested it yet, if he eats it he might explode

Adelais said well please don’t do that

Greta asks Is that what you used on  the hole?

Tektite says yesss

Adelais asks if he made the crystals too

Adelais says they are pretty

Tektite says yesss, I haven’t got a name for them yet

Tektite says Gaius would say don’t call them Tektite because there are already Tektites

Greta says, that was a lot of acid

Tektite says sorry, that happened in my sleep

Adelais says I have been meaning to talk to you about that, maybe when we go to Frandelle we can find someone who you can talk to about your dreams, someone who will help

if it was a problem I could solve with my shield, I would

Tektite says “dragon?”

Adelais says “no, someone who can help with your health”

Tektite says “a fortune teller?”

Adelais says no more like…

Tektite says “a dream scientist”

Adelais says yeah

Greta asks what the crystals are

Tektite says they are the result of a chemical reaction

Adelais says, ah science

Greta asks if anyone wants any food while we’re in the kitchen

the food in the hold

Adelais says “it’s not our food”

Tektite says “isn’t it part of the fare”

Greta are you staying here? is it nearly finished

Tektite says he will stay and finish

Adelais says try not to use too many pans as the cook will come back soon

Tektite says okay

Greta and Adelais go down to the hold to get the provisions

Greta says “all right Mr Stevens”

Stevens dons his hat

Greta says “eh Mr Stevens, what is your buoyancy like, we have a hole in the side of the boat, if they can’t fix it and we sink, you know..I dunno, would you just sink”

Stevens - given my approximate math, I would sink, but I can assure you the repairs are well in hand, I have been surveying them personally

The O.W.L. comes back

Stevens - the crew seem to be proficient at ad-hoc repairs

Adelais is looking for supplies to eat, salted meats and biscuits

Adelais takes a little bit to the crew who are fixing the wall as well

Stevens is feeding the horse

Adelais takes some food to Tektite too

Greta gets dressed, and fully equips, tetsubo

Adelais is wearing a blue tunic, not the full kit

Tektite finished up making the alchemical stuff and then has a snack

Then goes to check on the hole in the wall in the cabin room

The crew is nearly done with the repairs

Greta says Mr Prince has a pack of cards, he’s always throwing them at people, he has a habit of setting them on fire and things, he’s awake

Greta goes to knock on Mr Prince’s cabin door

Prince has got the cabin at the back so it’s the whole curl of the back, with windows

Prince is trying to contact people

Greta says “oi, Mr Prince, you in there - do you mind if I come in?”

Prince “yes”

Greta says “I think you’ve left it locked”

Prince “say there’s a reason for that”

Greta says “ah, a bit of quiet time” *eyebrows*

Greta says do you have a ack of cards?

did you know there’s a hole in the boat

Prince says well, that sounds like it should be left to the crew - but also something the crew wouldn’t have started

Greta says yeah they’re fixing it

Greta asks if he’s doing alright by himself

Prince says he is

Greta says but do you have a pack of cards though?

Prince goes through his bag, there’s a pack, but “empty I am afraid, all gone”

Greta said “right you are then, I’ll leave you be, we’ll be in the hold”

Prince puts his holy symbol away, “I don’t seem to be getting on here, I guess I can come”

Greta says we’re just having a chat really, Mr Stevens seems to be taking good care of the horse, even with his big hands

Greta says one of the crew members must have something, dice or something

Adelais says pen and paper

Gretas says “let’s go in the hold any way, let’s get Tektite - he might have finished his mix-ology”

He’s not in the kitchen

“Shit, where’s Tektite” and he yells Tektite

The crew have filled the hole and tarred it over

As the crew leave Tektite moves out of the way sheepishly

Tektite heads to Greta’s voice

when Tektite comes back, he says they have filled the hole with tar and the water won’t come in

Prince says - any way to stop this happening again?

Adelais says don’t talk about Tektite behind his back

Jean says “we have made circle, nobody has backs, we all make face”

Jean says “ we make lips”

Adelais says we are here to make a game

Tektite says to Prince “it’s okay I just won’t sleep”

Jean says “You need to sleep to make art”

Tektite says “I need to make my art to sleep”

Greta says “your art?”

Tektite says “my alchemy is my art”

Jean says “oui non, I make sense”

Tektite says “yesss, you do make sense”

Stevens may I offer a suggestion? the unplanned making of the faces, seems to be a good time to talk about our itinerary when we get to Frandelle

Jean says we make le café

Greta says we need to find the Jade Lady, and find somewhere to stay

Adelais says pick up the history, visit the palace

Greta says and you want to find out about

Adelais says if there is time

Jean says, the boat is long m, you have plenty

Adelais says when we get there

Jean says, well you make stay, it is beautiful place

Stevens says this masked festival, when does it take place?

Jean says it is not time, it is to make celebrate - it is not a thing

Stevens says this thing is the item I am wishing to locate temporarily

Jean says you say?

Stevens says what is the celebration, this event occurs not annually on a fixed date

Jean says is a little chance, if we make new lady of Jade

Adelais says a coronation? a crowning?

Jean says yes

Stevens says but that might not happen when we get there

this is somewhat flexible depending on the events that happen when we arrive

Greta, we are basically a load of foreigners who want to chat with the jade lady

Jean, you won’t make lips with the lady of jade

Adelais says maybe we don’t need to speak to anyone, maybe we need to find information

I don’t think we need to recruit anyone

Prince says we don’t really know anything

Adelais is musing aloud whether she can fight, if she uses a sword

Greta says there was all that with the warrior women

Greta says maybe she will be impressed with our exotic nature - don’t look at me like that Jean, I can tell

Adelais says is there anyone like Greta in Frandelle?

Greta is looking at her like what

Jean big?

Stevens says in my experience there are many people

Jean says please do not do in roads

Greta says like out in the streets?

Prince says he’s calling you common

There’s a noise from Slake on Greta’s shoulders

Jean says I have seen big monsiers in Frandelle if that is what you ask

no many have a large um, stick, we do not make hitting

Greta says yeah that’s good yeah

Stevens says his coronation, am I to presume this only happens when you have a new queen

Jean I have only seen one them I think yes

Stevens says we can ask the present Jade lady to seek presence with

Jean says there is always a lady of jade

Greta says what can we expect when we get to the docks, you mentioned papiers, but we don’t have papiers, well Prince can give up papiers

Prince says do you have papiers?

Jean says I have more papiers, um, if you have not, you must make or, um, sit in port

Prince says, that’s what I was thinking, may I see your papiers?

Greta says ah they won’t let us get into the city?

Adelais says is this something we can write before you go in?

Greta says what like fill in forms?

Prince looks at Adelais

Prince says can I see your papiers?

Jean says I do not like these lips

Jean says you can get to port and make papiers

Adelais says don’t leave him allow

Greta says don’t do that, calm down all right yeah

Adelais says we can sort things out at the port

Prince says I just want to look at his papers

Greta says maybe it’s something personal, maybe it’s private

Greta says let’s all just fucking calm down, I see you have your threatening eyes on

Adelais says please don’t take his papiers

Jean is looking shocked

Jean says the papiers, you show le monde a palace, and you go, this is all

Adelais says I am sure it can be easily sorted out when we get there

Stevens says we can acquire these papiers at the port

Jean says we can come and go

Stevens says if we have not arranged them ahead of time, we can arrange them at the port

Jean I have to leave, I think yours make you come

Stevens says you have your s to leave, ours would be to visit

Greta says what is a papier

Stevens says it is some kind of document that allows a person to enter or leave a sourvenity, his allow him to leave, our are a temporary agreement for us to enter, nevertheless it would be somewhat of a sticking point, Jean believes we can acquire these documents at the port, but he is uncertain

Prince says why not remove the uncertainty

Adelais says that would be illegal

Jean is upset at the mention of “illegal”

Tektite says “do I qualify or am I pet?”

Jean asks Adelais, do they make you pet?

Adelais says Tektite is not a pet

Jean says, then you will need to get papiers

Tektite says “thank you”

Greta says “are you a nation of humans, for the most part?”

Jean says more, almost more

Greta says I hope I won’t give offence by this, does the Frandellese keeps slaves?

Jean says you say?

Greta says a person who is in servitude

Adelais says a servant that has bad things happen to them, its bad

Jean says if you’re heart does not like beauty you visit the under-palace

Greta, like a dungeon or something, a prison

Greta says you’re using pet a lot, you’ve said pet for Stevens, and you said do we make pet - does that mean “in service to”

Jean says “to make job?”

Greta says, yeah but not paid, does it imply owning a person, can you own pet?

Stevens says, like your horse, is this your pet?

Jean nods

Greta says “could I be your pet, could you have a human pet?”

Jean says, I have not heard this

Greta says “would you make Tektite a pet?” What would you say if we made Tektite a pet in Frandelle

Jean says, what would you say if the Tektite is a pet?

Stevens says the leader of the mob, could he made pet?

Jean I have seen this

Stevens says the owner of the boat?

Jean says I think this make job

Jean says you make job and pet can make job

Stevens in my case, I can be pet but also job

Stevens say I am an automaton, therefore not a person, I cannot be anything other than pet, however I am in the employ of Mr Prince, and by extension, yourself, therefore I also make job

Greta says, don’t say that Mr Stevens (to not a person)

Prince says, yeah I disagree (to not a person)

Jean says you make many job, you have made job to eat horse

Stevens looks worryingly at the horse

Jean, you made job to hold, this is good, yes

Stevens says yes I think

Prince has some Hygardian seals, and makes some ambassador papers for him and his group, there’s an occasion and Hygard want to be there

Adelais and Greta play noughts and crosses

Greta says fuck I’m losing this

Tektite yells how can you lose, that it’s easy

Prince asks Jean about the papiers again

Jean says that he would get in trouble with le police

Stevens and Greta will feel the presence of Pabu rocking in and giving Jean a scary as hell look

Greta says “all right Pabu”

A slightly shaky Jean starts backing up towards his possessions

Greta says “what the fuck’s going on?”

Adelais says “can you just leave him alone?”

Greta says “jean you all right? that’s just Pabu that is - have you got a fear of stoats?”

Prince is shaking his head

Jean says I am told yes

Greta says what is going on?

Prince says what is the matter with you Greta?

Greta says Pabu has this funny look in his eye, and Jean looks terrified

Pabu raises his hands

Greta - “Pabu, Jean? have you guys had some kind of beef?”

Greta says look I’m drawing noughts and everything

Jean says I am something about the papier escaping to the floor so they do not get my pain on them

Stevens says I believe Jean should remove his papers from his person to avoid getting blood on them

Pabu shrugs and points to Prince

Prince shrugs and points to Pabu

Greta says come over here jean by us

Jean says but I might make back and then have a pain in the back

Adelais says no one is going to hurt you here

Jean says ah, but I must sleep

Greta says you can stay in my room if you like, or something, nah, that's not what I mean

are we really going to have a stand off all the way to Frandelle

Prince says you don’t have a stand-off

Jean says you are big, do you have a big bed?

Greta says it’s all right

Jean says maybe I’ll stay, a small stay

Greta says it’s okay we’re only like a day away, that’s no inconvenience

Greta says can’t we all just have a nice game of noughts and crosses

Jean says this game is small, *holds up two fingers*, this small

Adelais says, ah two players

Greta says that’s okay you can play

There’s not much illumination in the hull

The group pass the time all together in the hull

At some point, Breanne will find you all down here

Breanne- ah I see you’re all getting settled -

Greta says yeah

Breanne said the boy gave you the message then?

Greta says what message?

Breanne - had a spot of weather, the trip is going to take a lot longer, here we had a hole in the side of the ship as well, the ship won’t take another hole like that

Greta says - how much longer?

Breanne - Probably, a couple more days - Unless you ask me to take Lobo’s Teeth through a storm? So, I’m quite glad you’re all cosy

Adelais says thank you, is there anything we can help with?

Breanne- just make sure to keep the ship in one piece

Would you like some tea?

All right…

we are all on it

Greta says I’m trying not to think about it to be honest

Breanne says ah a spot of the sea nerves

Greta says well I’ve only been on a canal before, the sea is wider

Breanne says it’s a lot deeper

I like you (to greta)

Greta I like you too Breanne

Breanne- but enough of that, I am retiring for a spell - please don’t do anything that requires my attention

Tektite is sinking into the shadows

Next day on the boat, there’s a horrific storm building in the distance, but the boat is steering significantly away from it, adding a lot to the journey

Tektite goes back to his cabin, when everyone else does

Tektite doesn’t sleep

Another day, another night, Tektite doesn’t sleep

A rival boat arrives, with less than nice intentions

An  hour before sunset

Adelais is in her room, reading her one of her novels to Greta, and Jean will also here

as Jean is staying with Greta

Prince goes out onto the deck, sees something on the waves

“have you seen this?” Prince asks the night guy

“you see?”

The ship is hit with the nautical equivalent of a ballista shot with a chain attached, onto the mast

[we will find out next week if it sticks or shreds]

After credits
Tektite with a book, probably not looking at it cus he’s so intent on staying awake

getting crazy eye with this book in his claws

a drift, to him, with his crazy eye on in a library in Hygard, with a big fancy M on the page

the first few lines is clearly “Mortallus is clearly a legendary figure prominent throughout the western islands …” and his hand is covering the next bit - eyes skim for a while, bit of a twitch

Adelais and Greta come in, all fresh

Acid, detonates the book,

he tells them “I found out about Mortallus, he’s a kuo-toa swamp god”
