[believeslegends]

So uh... I've been doing some looking around, and I don't think this is the Legacy. I mean, it's a nice ship, yeah, but it's not the ship I was just on. Silver, did we go back to the wrong ship or-- ...You're probably not here if I haven't seen you yet. Great.

[suddenly! loud voice!] Hey, Doc?! Captain? ....Silver, any of you around? Anyone?

[Here Zeke will be helpful!]

Welcome to the M.S. Elegante, kiddo.

[OR NOT]

[believeslegends]

[GOSH, ZEKE. AT LEAST TRY B(]

That's helpful. Really.

Thanks, I guess. But where is the Elegante?

[thenotmagician]

Elegante's the most batshit cruise ship that ever sailed. S'got decks on fire, decks with caves, decks with food. What have you. And we're goin' to the Golden Shore. Wherever that is.

[believeslegends]

Are you serious-- Wait, wait. But when I docked the longboat, I was on the Legacy, what happened? And what's the Golden Shore?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Doc?

[believeslegends]

Yeah, Doc. Doctor Delbert, talks a lot, carries around clippings to show off. Seen him?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Right, wrong "Doc".]

Never heard of him. Doubt he is here.

[believeslegends]

Great. [Guy's never around when he actually needs him]

Haven't seen a cook around either, have you? He's got a cyborg leg, arm and eye.

[meinxxherz]

H--Hello.

I hate to, uhm, t-t--to tell you this, but you've kinda...

Well, you--you've been abducted. By--b-by the Captain Redd. But! But you--y-you're safe. He doesn't want anything fff-f-from you, the crew won't, y-y'know, bother you unless you hurt someone else and everything's free.

My name's Herz. I--I-I run a restaurant with some friends on decks nine and ten. It--i-it's called Sergei's Bar and Grille. If you're hungry, o-or thirsty, or want to--t-to talk, there's usually someone there.

I've been here a few months so...I--I know a little about how things work. About as much as anyone, really.

[believeslegends]

So you're telling me I didn't get onto the wrong ship, but it just happened to bring me here for no reason?

Yeah, that's really helpful. Look, I have to go back, okay? It's really really important! How do i tell the captain to let me off?

[meinxxherz]

You...uh--y-you--you don't.

I'm sorry. Really, I--I-I am.

[believeslegends]

[frustration! he's taking it out kicking a wall nearby, do you hear that? And then a heavy sigh.]

... Are you okay? 'Cause uh... You're kinda... [not sure how to say it nicely so he just trails off]

[axemeaquestion]

You get the grand explanation yet?

[believeslegends]

Stuck here on a boat with a crazy captain? Something like that.

[axemeaquestion]

That's the idea. Welcome aboard... sorta. Most of us aren't too happy about it either, if it helps.

I'm Rochelle, if that helps something too.

[believeslegends]

How long has this ship been out, anyway?

Uh... I'm Jim. Nice to meet you, I guess.
