[ 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. ]

[




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.

[transmit]

You've been having all this fun without an assistant, huh?

[oversea]

I don't trust any of them to keep up.

[transmit]

You haven't thought about asking the friendly resident ghost…?

[oversea]

The resident ghost may get caught.

[transmit]

I think there's someone your crew might be more scared of now over the ghost…


The resident unfriendly chemist.

[oversea]

[ he reaches over to pinch him. ]

[transmit]

—Hey!

[ squirms!!!! ]

Who's going to find me unless you tattle?

[oversea]

What if someone stops by?

[ ... ]

I can see how quick you are at hiding.

[transmit]

[ not thorns also being invested in elysium not getting found now… literally what is anyone going to do about him being here. nothing. this is so funny. ]

You can! You get to see it for yourself how resourceful I am, too!

[oversea]

[ he is curious as to how long elysium can keep this up before either getting caught or giving up. ]

... Uh huh. Did you need to get anything, by the way?

[transmit]

[ forever… ]

Hm? Am I a part of the headcount for the budget?

[oversea]

You became it as soon as you decided to stay on board.

[ he needs to account for the food elysium swipes... ]

[transmit]

I thought I could be a rounding error…

[ he's trying to be low maintenance… ]

I'll be fine as long as we find a hardware store. I was hoping to pick up a few tools and materials.

[oversea]

You should get more. It'll probably be a while before we dock somewhere with stores again.

[ especially since what he needs might not be something readily available on board... ]
