I don't believe this. I must be going mental in this place. Gorrammit, a green midget barely up to my knee did it. Actually... levitated... my boat from between the two buildings and on to the square. I'd be laughin' were I not too busy keepin' my jaw from dropping straight to the ground. You know, I'm seriously dislikin' this annoying state of

A...spaceship?

((OOC: No one's explained the concept to him before. XD))

[bad_in_thelatin]

Yeah. Like... a vessel you travel in space with? From planet to planet?

[OOC: LOL! And Mal's of course baffled that someone has not heard of spaceships. XD]

[i_am_ptolemy]

In...space? Near the stars, do you mean?

...

((OOC: This is what happens when you come from ancient Egypt. XD The whole concept is leaving him a tad speechless, haha.))

[bad_in_thelatin]

Yep. Well, more like amongst the stars. In the black, as I like to refer to it.

[OOC: I suspect it would indeed! XD]

[i_am_ptolemy]

In the black...an evocative name for the heavens...

...Outside of death, such travel was impossible for my people.

[bad_in_thelatin]

That's a shame. It's a movin' kind of experience, traveling through the black.

[i_am_ptolemy]

I...

...I imagine it must be.

Would it be possible, at some point in the future, for me to see this vessel? The entire concept is very intriguing.

((OOC: ...Why do all my characters want to have spaceship tours? >.>))

[bad_in_thelatin]

Well, suppose that can be arranged. We have to do some fixing up on her first, mind. She's a right mess at the moment, probably not all safe for visitors yet.

[OOC: Spaceships are just so cool. XD]

[i_am_ptolemy]

Spaceships are referred to as though they are women?

I can wait until you believe that...she is safe. Thank you, Mal.

((OOC: They are. Maybe it's on account of I want a tour of Mal's boat. XD))

[bad_in_thelatin]

Generally, yes. Though I think that was the way with regular ships of old, as well. But I'm not exactly a historian.

Don't mention it!

[OOC: Oh, you and I both! XD]

[i_am_ptolemy]

I see. The same was true of the fleets in Egypt, I believe, but I have never been particularly experienced with ships.

And yours is named Serenity, correct? May I ask why?

[bad_in_thelatin]

Because... once you find Serenity, there's no leavin' it. That ship's surely gonna be with me until death.

[i_am_ptolemy]

It is an outward representation, of sorts, of inner tranquility?

[bad_in_thelatin]

Might be that it is, though conjure I'm still lookin' for that inner peace.

[i_am_ptolemy]

...Most are, I suspect.
