Twenty-three bells: [WRITTEN/ACTION]

[simplestgift]

This is Mr. Kennedy. The Britannia, Luceti's new sloop of war under command of Captain Hornblower, is finished and for all purposes ready to sail. Unfortunately, as she cannot sail herself, Captain Hornblower is in need of a crew.

Not many are required simply to sail her. A half dozen at least, although we should prefer more. We do not expect exclusivity--in Luceti, there is no point. If you are already part of another crew, you are welcome to remain a part of that crew and sail with us as well. As the winter months are approaching, we are not likely to weigh anchor for some time, so there will be plenty of time to train recruits who have no sailing experience.

Thank you, and I look forward to any questions you may have.

-A. Kennedy

Tonight he'll be working at Cloud Nine. He'll be home late.]

She's docked at the beach, if you want to take a look. Once you see her, you'll never want to leave.

Yeah...? Now I really gotta see it!

[A beat passes.]

Say, uh... if y'don' mind my askin', what's the fastest way to the beach, anyway? [He offers an apologetic smile.] I ain't ever been, an' uh... yeah, I guess I don' check that guide as much as I should. Is there one a' them teleportation pads around or somethin'?

At the ship? I'm about to go to work, I'm afraid, but...well, if you'd like the tour, we could arrange another time.

[pugilistinpink.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh, yeah; a tour sounds real nice, actually. What works f'you?

[simplestgift]

Ah... [He's putting in quite a few hours now at the club, so he has to think. How many tours will he be giving? ...Orrr he could do them all at once? Oh, forget it.]

Tomorrow morning.
