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.]

Oh--okay! If you're sure, then, yeah, I'd really love to help out. I didn't ever spend a lot of time on the long ships, but they're still familiar, so...hopefully I won't be entirely lost.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Haddock. So to speak. Believe me, we've dealt with worse.

[Eheh...he sees what you did there.]

Well? Hopefully I can manage much better than that. Thanks, Mr. Kennedy.

You're most welcome, Mr. Haddock. Shall I contact you soon about showing you the ropes?

[dragoneer]

Yes, thank you. I should be available pretty much anytime. I'm flexible.

Tomorrow afternoon? If you'll meet me by the docks...

Yes, sure! That will work just fine. You can count on me to be there.
