Tide 001

[kaikou_tide]

[There's a somewhat sleepy voice as Glaukir finally turns on his comm.]

Uh, hello? I can hear that there are other captives on board and--

[A thought occurs to him.]

Leo. If you think you can get away with this, you have another thing coming.

[That voice. Remy knows that voice.

No.

No it can't be.]

...who...who are you?

[ttlynotawizard]

Kage's the first mate, Meifeng's the second mate, B's the mechanic, Meth is the ship's architect, Guy is the therapist who I really don't like, and the doctor is...well, you don't need to worry about it. Redd is the Captain. They're all extremely loyal to Captain Redd and I believe the came from different worlds as we all did.

We're here to go to the Golden Shore. Don't know why. I've been trying to figure that out since I've gotten here.

[The more he speaks, the more comfortable he is. Damn it.]

[kaikou_tide]

That doesn't make any sense, but... I guess it's the truth.

[Glaukir sighs and runs his hand over his jaw again. This Remy guy seemed to know who he was, though. That was curious. Glaukir decides he'll have to find out more.]

Sounds like you've been here for quite a while, Remy.

[ttlynotawizard]

It takes a little getting used to.

...I have. Well over a year.

[kaikou_tide]

A year?

[ttlynotawizard]

Over a year. And we still don't know when we're to arrive. Good thing there's plenty of liquor and food.

[kaikou_tide]

...

[This is a lot to take in.

There's a thump as Glaukir flops down in a chair.]

I see. Thank you, Remy. You've been more than helpful.

[ttlynotawizard]

[Yeah, he feels you there. He doesn't even want to begin to explain that Glaukir was here before.

He flops in a chair as well as he hears Glaukir call him by name again. He recalls hearing it so many times before.]

You're welcome, K-Glaukir.

[He goes to flick off his communicator, but pauses for a moment and fiddles with it before speaking again.]

[locked to Glaukir//65% unhackable]

Stay away from Carnival, it's dangerous. Same goes for the Theater and a passenger named Erol.

[Remy had remembered his old promise to the old Glaukir that he would always protect him. Old habits die hard.]

[kaikou_tide]

[Hmm... how to lock this...?

Glaukir makes a palty attempt. He's not really a computer guy.]

[Locked to Remy // 15% Unhackable]

I understand. I'll be careful. Really, I can't thank you enough for looking out for me. I appreciate it. Just let me know if I can return the favour.

[locked // 65% unhackable]

[ttlynotawizard]

['I can't thank you enough for looking out for me.' Remy swallows hard. The appreciation meant so much to Remy.]

You're welcome. You're always welcome and I will. If you need anything, let me know.

[Remy bites his lip. It was an offer he extended to everyone, but somehow it felt different now.]

[kaikou_tide]

[Oh, hell. Glaukir knows he's no good with computers, so he doesn't even bother trying to lock the damn reply. What's the point?]

... that's very kind of you.

[There's a note of curiosity in Glaukir's voice. Remy seems really eager to help.]

[ttlynotawizard]

[What else can he say? What should he say?]

It's nothing, really. Everyone needs help when they're in a strange place, you know?

[kaikou_tide]

That's true. So far people here have been remarkably civil, considering.

[ttlynotawizard]

Well, only the nice ones tend to really greet. That and you didn't do the shouting at the communicator thing that oh so many do.

[kaikou_tide]

If I've already been kidnapped, I doubt raising my voice would convince the crew to put me back in my livingroom.

[Glaukir pinches the bridge of his nose for a moment.]

At least I fell asleep with my glasses on instead of my contacts. I'd hate to be half-blind here.

[ttlynotawizard]

[Remy laughs a little bit]

Doesn't stop people from trying.

[Blind. Yeah, that stops Remy's laugh.]

Lucky that. It's a big place. Easy to get lost.

Just don't you know, lose them or leave them in your hair or something.

[Remy should just stop talking now.]
