... Cool.

[ ?????? ]

I'm going to take a sweep of the ship. [ ... ] Where are you staying?

[transmit]

I didn't answer you the first time. What makes you think I'll answer the second?

[ taps thorns' forehead. ]

You'll have to figure that one out yourself.

[ like a minigame… find his body in ihop ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY. ANNOYING. ]

That won't be hard.

[transmit]

Uh huh. Then when you get lonely, you know where to go.

[ makes it even more annoying for him to. ]

[oversea]

Don't you mean when you do?

[ elysium is the one with only thorns to talk to... ]

[transmit]

[ he is a creep currently getting his enrichment through people watching…

but yeah that itself would get old eventually. ]

I said what I said.

[ are we really counting the other people around thorns atm aside from like. weedy. speaking of— ]

But no, Weedy knows I'm still here, too. Just by virtue of letting her know it wasn't me handing back our report. Now——her expression was funny. If only you could've seen it!

[oversea]

You told her and not me...

[ there is a work related reason he told weedy and not him but whatever. ]

[transmit]

[

brackets left intentionally blank. ]

Are you jealous?

[oversea]

No.

[ weedy is his best friend? whoa. ]

[transmit]

The few times I've spoken to her, it's mostly to see what I could help her with. She's having the time of her life studying La Conquista.

… Which I guess is the Cuna de Nene now? I can't believe you let that happen.

[oversea]

We practice democracy here.

[ thorns did not really care enough about the name. ]

[transmit]

I don't think there's a better show of it than that… But you best hope most of the people you end up working with don't understand Iberian.

[ he reaches out, places a hand on thorns' head. ]

You should get back to your rounds before it gets too late.

[oversea]

[ he swats at him. ]

Mm. You know where to find me if you need me, amigo.

[ and with that... he will be off. ]

[transmit]

[ he will… watch thorns go off. it really is more awkward than he thought it'd be interacting with a thorns that doesn't remember, but it's fine.

thorns is thorns—and being next to him is enough.

…

he goes to start thinking about menacing more pirates. ]

[oversea]

[ meanwhile thorns is thinking it's nice that his good friend decided to hang out... even though he is acting a little strangely, but maybe he's just overdue for a break.

he finishes his rounds and heads to bed... while wondering where elysium is sleeping... ]

[transmit]

[ he is sleeping in a place that is very creaky and hidden with nothing but several blankets to his name as part of bedding, but that's okay!!! because he has gone through so much worse on his travels that this is fine.



he will continue to just haunt the cuna de nene until they dock. or until thorns decides to hunt him down again for some reason. ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY

well, thorns will probably want to see him a few more times, but it will be check-ins... they can skip ahead to docking in a small iberian town on the coast. this is always dangerous because of the seaborn and the inquisition is more likely to be there, but a part got damaged and weedy says they don't have a replacement on the ship, so they need to settle for going to the first place they can.

thorns tells his crew to behave a million times. ]

[transmit]

[




in front of his room, thorns finds three people all tied together with a sticky note that reads: 'was planning to ransack the town.' you're welcome. where is elysium…? once again, a mystery. ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY


they get hung upside down for their troubles.

thorns only has a short window where he can get off the ship since he is the best person to talk to any inquisition members if one of them pops up, so when he does get to he just

glances around like he's looking for something or someone... before getting off... ]

[transmit]

[ not the public example. why are they pirates if they can't do crime… tch.

but elysium just sees this and laughs before skipping his way over to the pier. only after thorns finishes his official business with the local authorities does elysium pop out of nowhere, hands laced behind his back. ]

Hi. Where're we going?

[oversea]

[ he just raises a brow, but doesn't have much of a reaction outside of that. elysium did say he would have been interested in getting off the ship when they dock, so seeing him isn't that surprising. ]

A few shops.

[transmit]

[ it's been so long since he's been taken out on a walk, thank you thorns ]

For the ship? What else?

[oversea]

I need new lab equipment.

[



it's important to HIM. ]

[transmit]

I was thinking there's been fewer explosions recently. What did you do…

[oversea]

The beakers on board may have been older than I thought. They melted.
