Boooooooooooooom

[There's an enormous explosion that rocks the boat violently, and then something that feels like an earthquake. Items will fall off shelves, passengers will be thrown off their feet, and walls will peel off

[Vincent was attempting to do a supply run in the infirmary with the entire ship went to hell, so he doesn't have to go far to get to the top deck.

Pitch. Black. Too dark and deep for even Vincent's eyes to find anything in it--except for that. Vincent's eyes narrow as they travel from the coiling shimmer of something that is NOT stars to the man with the box.]

What are you doing?

[It comes out a rough growl, the glow in his eyes flaring. He remembers the party, hello. This doesn't look good at all.]

[Gambler turns suddenly, looking fidgety for a moment.]

Oh I was just um ... admiring the view. The sea looks lovely today!

[notwhatiwas]

There is no sea.

There is no sky, no sun, nothing but you--

[He gestures at the mass of red, so much like the one they faced down at the party, with his gauntlet.]

--and that.

So I will ask again.

What. Are you doing?

[neverlucky7s]

[His forced smile falls.]

Oh. Damn. I guess you can see it then.

But I really was watching! Isn't it pretty? It's always so pretty when it consumes.

[notwhatiwas]

...It's consuming the ship.

[It's not a question.]

And you're just watching.

[He eyes the Red Box in Gambler's hand.]

Shouldn't that be given to the Captain?

[neverlucky7s]

I've been waiting for this moment for years. It'll be really exciting when it gets to the infected passengers and the engines.

[Gambler waves the box around nonchalantly and then shakes it upside down.]

It's empty now. It was just a little hors d'oeuvre before the main course.

[notwhatiwas]

You're a destroyer with no intention of making up for what you did. A traitor to the Captain and his crew.

[That glare sharpens again.]

What happens, then, if I kill you?

[Vincent knows better than to just assume anything will work on the crew. They're powerful people, destroyers of worlds, and while there's something in him with a similar purpose, it's not the same.]
