Well that was dang weird, that's for sure...

*rubs the back of her head*

Well, I ain't gonna say I'm getting to old for this, but...

Well, Henry says he's caught word of a great behemoth of a fish just south o' here and headin' in that direction. I'm gonna catch that dang sucker yet!

And I think that means...

Well, Long Sunset an' me'll be ( Read more... )

*here's a young woman (?), barely 17, who will look familiar to most of you. To some, possibly, more than others*

WHAT IN THE SUN'S NAME IS GOIN' ON 'ROUND HERE?!

WHERE AM I?

*Subala's sitting out on the steps to the manor, legs dangling over toward the bushes, a blanket around her to keep her warm over the flannel shirt and scarf she's wearing. She's got a short knife in her hand and is whittling a lure, and is singing a song to herself, not TOO loudly for once. She can carry a tune, fortunately, although what more can ( Read more... )

*sitting in the tavern with a mug of stout* I'M BORED, GUYS.

Let's do something. Game o' cards? Tell a story together? Sing some songs? Fist fight?

*in the morning, the fishing vessel the Long Sunset has come to dock, and off hops Subala, in her "look, I'm a merchant Captain, really," outfit of grey vest and trousers, with a blue scarf tied around her neck. She's scrubbed, brushed, and spunky as ever, not looking a day over 48. She bounds up toward the main walkways, cheerily shouting*

*touching base with everyone; the astute might note Subala's got a little bit of a limp*

All right, folks--the Long Sunset is sailing off in a couple days. We're gonna stop in Vinay del Zexay to hopefully pick up a few extra hands, and then head towards the Islands. Maybe, time and weather permitting, Falena too ( Read more... )

*almost looks like she might be... say, a merchant marine officer, or maybe even a business woman---in a well-cut pair of gray trousers and matching waistcoat, with red uniform style stripes along the seams, and a clean and even ironed white blouse; her headscarf is prettily mixed in with a length of red cloth as well and tied in a slightly more ( Read more... )

All right, kids, I know most o' ya are neck deep in shoppin' with the Harmonians or processing their paperwork, but IF any of you happen to be free---it's contest time! Wiiiiiith PRIZES!

Pick yerself and if you like, up to five of your closest friends or enemies, and see if you can beat the Long Sunset crew at any o' the followin ( Read more... )

*there's a new ship at the docks, with the name Long Sunset painted at the stern. It looks rather... modest, next to the Grishend or the Lino en Kuldes, but by golly, it's certainly the best rigged out for fishing, with trawling nets and even a couple harpoon guns. It looks like it could hold a whole lot, but it's mostly cargo space. Its modest ( Read more... )

*standing at the stairs leading to the docks, with a mess of envelopes and parcels in her hands and at her feet; looks at one particular letter in her hand and her mouth slowly bursts into a grin*

THEY'RE COMIN'! YAHOOOO!

*of course, not all that mail is hers. Looks like the couriers just came and she grabbed everyone's mail. If anyone else is ( Read more... )
