somethings wrong

[makesomedeals]

How badly wrong?

[text] july 8/9ish

[light_mischief]

You may have noticed that water is causing people to act strange.
The Captain made a magical error and now we all are dealing with it.
Ava and I discovered it lasts about an hour from first contact.
Physical movements unaffected, but writing is.
Also, both the Captain and Friday are permanently afflicted.
(At least until it wears off...)

Ava was with me so my interrogation of Friday was limited.
(She kept siding with the construct!)
You may have more luck chatting with her than usual, however...

[makesomedeals]

Oh it's water is it? I thought everyone was collectively going insane.

Is that so. That's good to know. Very good to know. Perhaps I shall swing by and see what she's been up to since last we chatted.

A friendly conversation. Of course.

[ here's a random ass text from out of nowhere from... some idiot who killed you once! whoopsie. ]

Hi hi, Mr Maximilien~
Is it all right if we could chat a little?

[makesomedeals]

So long as this isn't an attempt to get me to play nice with everyone or whatever it was you requested in the past, certainly. I'm free.

[text] within 24 hours of the heist

[light_mischief]

When you're able, we should talk.

[makesomedeals]

[He ignores this for two days mentally attempting to get his story straight so he can pretend he's perfectly fine.]

Certainly. Shall I meet you somewhere? I'm currently near Sand Dollars.

[text] sometime later in october

[light_mischief]

Well, October's been awful. I'm going to go shoot some bottles. If the Drunken Sailor is empty, I might not bother taking them out to the deck first.
Do you want to join?

[makesomedeals]

I most certainly do. Admittedly shooting up a location knowing it won't instantly be repaired does have an appeal to it. Leaving our mark, so to speak.
I'm on my way.

[She finally works up the ability to do more than stare blankly into space and picks her phone up from where it's been since Phil texted her.]

I don't...

[There's a long moment before she texts anything more]

I'm missing time.
I know I died.
But I thought it didn't take this long to come back.

[makesomedeals]

[Ah. The text he'd been dreading. Somehow he'd thought all the pacing he'd been doing, and the texts with SecUnit would better prepare him for when it came. Alas, they did not.]

The system which revives us had a few glitches. Friday was one of them.

Are you in the cabin? This is probably something best kept out of text.

[serialskiller]

I got another of the weird Sundries gifts, the kind you should be made aware of so you can be weirded out.

[makesomedeals]

With a start like that I'm fairly certain I do not want to know.

But do go on so I can be 'weirded out' as you say.

[decohere]

still got all that cash?
there's a sale up at the windjammer you might want to check out.
i picked up a mystery fruit. probably a mango or papaya.

Re: Text

[makesomedeals]

A sale?
A sale of what?
You are going to eat a mystery fruit? Is that wise?

[serialskiller]

Were you the one who shocked Erin and Helena?

[makesomedeals]

I don't know who Helena is.

But Erin... yes. Why do you ask?

Text

[serialskiller]

Part of a Sundries gift I received seems to have been intended for you. Is now a convenient time to deliver it to your cabin?

[makesomedeals]

Yes, but also if this is a digestive system I'm going to feed you to the cougar. Repeatedly.

[text] after his visit to the bridge, before the memory brigade

[light_mischief]

I needed to talk to the Captain and have come to the (belated) realization that he operates possibly 1% of the entire ship. At this point, he's forgotten half of the things he's ordered Friday to do, whether from time or on purpose, and the chances of us extracting him from the situation are looking... not great.

For now, I'm focusing on preparing for whatever comes after these sudden cracks in reality. I'm sure you've seen them by now. We're going to have to rely on the passenger group as a whole to navigate whatever arises, which means we're going to need to redirect their ire away from the Captain and towards a more appropriate target.

All of this to say: I think we may need to turn people against Friday, unless better opposition appears.

[makesomedeals]

I'd suggest Rita as a viable alternative.

I think there's less chance for tangible retaliation. She can only cast a fireball so big. Friday could decide to stop reviving people post death.

[sabigoe]

Max?

I have a question.

[ ...

That's it. No, she's not going to jump to the main point of this text. She's just going to very patiently wait until he acknowledges her message first. ]

[makesomedeals]

[Ominous. But he responds as soon as he gets the notification.]

Certainly. What did you have on your mind?

Texts during this conversation with Kolchak

[millay]

This one

Darling
I think I am suffering both emotional and psychological torture.
In the form of photographs.
And this man does this for a living
And it is awful.

I thought it was a new hobby and was attempting to be supportive
But it is his job.
If you go to the Photos At Sea, he's put them up
I'm contemplating taking them down when he's gone

[makesomedeals]

If there was a fire alarm I would pull it and stage a rescue.
Do you need me to come and put an end to this for you? Or an end to him?

[decohere]

we're being invaded, potentially hostile takeover
captain's been bound and depowered
with skulduggery and peter on deck

[makesomedeals]

What? How? When?
Should I be there or do we need a redoubt position if things go poorly?
