[Ginia keeps herself busy learning the ins and outs of naval combat and familiarizing herself with the cannons and how to prep, load, and fire them, while also getting used to being at sea. When she has a chance, she'll check the journals for any updates and to keep in touch with people

During battles, she'll assisting however she can with the cannons and definitely on deck once battle gets a little closer.]

[Early in the morning, during a lull, Giles will probably be one of the ones giving her lessons in how to clean out a cannon.]

If we had the people to spare, the ideal situation is not to move from one gun to the other at all. Or so Kennedy told me.

/Makes sense. A set team sticking to a specific cannon or set and carrying out set duties means less mistakes made./

In these cases? The important thing is to keep them in shape to fire.

Speed is the key. Enough shots will eventually hit.

...nothing like fighting back home, but that does seem to be how it works.

/Speed over accuracy, got it./

[Ginia gives the cannon a wry look.]

/I prefer modern artillery myself./

It quickly loses its appeal, in my opinion.

[Especially when it's being shot at him.]

/I think most weaponry does after repeated use./

[But as they have cannons instead of machine guns, she'll adapt and do her best to learn. Pressure and drilling does do wonders.]

/All right. Swab the cannon, load powder, load shot, run out, prime the gun, aim, fire, repeat./

[Giles ticks off each step as she lists them, and nods approvingly when she's done.]

Precisely. If I should be horribly maimed before we dock, you'll be in a prime position to take over.

[Ginia grimaces at that thought.]

/Please, don't even joke about such things, I have a vivid imagination. And what I know and remember in theory is very different than practice./

Sorry. That was horrible of me.

["You're better at horrible than I ever remember you being." Well, much as Giles tries to explain the reasons behind that fact away, it is a fact.]

...I'll be behind you when theory has to become practice. Promise.

/It was. Don't do it again./

[Though there is light fondness behind her words.]

/Deeply appreciated. As is the fact you always seem to be there./

[A hard wave hits the boat, causing it to lurch to the side. Ginia stumbles slightly, quickly catching herself and adjusting her balance as the boat rights itself.]

/Why did it have to be naval combat? Why not stable ground?/

[Giles, despite his very best efforts, can't help but lurch with her.]

I'm really not certain.

...at least there's no malaria to be had. Count our collective blessings for that.

shadedsunlight August 26 2011, 02:29:57 UTC
[She finds herself thankful for her good sense of balance and all her dance training keeping her upright. Won't help much with her aim, but she'll make do.]

/...That entirely morbid thought is an odd comfort. Probably won't be out long enough to have to worry about scurvy either./

Yes, I thought it might be. Simply keeping from dropping dead of disease was a job and a half, last time.

[There's another roll of the boat, Ginia this time moving with the motion.]

/I'm going to be sick of this, I know it...

It was a rain forest last time? I've had a few people mention it./

It was a rain forest, yes. An uncharted, unknown rain forest, that used to be a village like this one.
