7th ♥ [Video]
[The broadcast starts at an odd angle, the page filled mainly with Kairi's face, behind her a mast, a sail and a patch of blue sky.]
Ahoy there!
[She can't say anything else for a moment, stalled by a fit of giggles.]
Hello, it's Kairi, heh, Captain Kairi. I've claimed this ship as my flagship.
[The view whirls sickeningly, showing the lake, ( Read more... )

[Tammy can feel it coming. Like cold clammy hands rubbing all over her aching brain, so she starts speaking quickly, as if it might help stop what's coming--not Malkus, no, not him--]
I might let you try that. I mean, it might help, and I gotta say I'm not sure I relish the idea of trusting a doctor this place would actually hire, you know? Maybe if she's the one that reattached your head or something, but I mean, they could try and slip me drugs or something and the next thing I know I'm missing a kidney and floating in icy bathwater--
[--it didn't work before so why would it now, please just let it slide, he didn't even say the right trigger words--]
You wish you could get the boat safely back to shore?
[Tammy wishes she could scream but it's no longer her mouth.]
Reply
[He's cut off by her sudden interruption. He responds with a bit of a laugh.]
Well yes! I do very much wish I could do so, safely. Unfortunately, unless I develop quite the fondness to water, I shall need to see if there is one more row boat in the shed there.
Reply
Ah, but what would you give to get it here safely and without having to get wet? Or a rowboat?
Reply
Oh, the question is what I wouldn't give! Unfortunately that might not happen without the intervention of one of the more magic-orientated residents of the keep...

Works for me.
[In the same moment that Tammy crumples to the ground--again, geez woman--the ship finds it's merry way to the shore near Malkus. Look! It's like magic.]
Reply
Oh, hello.

[He steps forward, staring down at Tammy with quite some concern then at the ship as it floats quickly to the shore!]
My word! Wh- How did you do this- eh... Whoever did this? Tammy? Miss Kairi? I was not aware that either of you were of the magic variety...

Nnngh.
[Yep, she's eloquent right now.]
S'me.

Kairi jumps out of the boat and into the shallows, playing at piracy forgotten.]
Are you okay?
Reply
[Malkus kneels down near Tammy, trying to observe her face for any symptoms of any known illnesses.]
I had no idea you were able to do such deeds, Miss Sable! You really ought to have given me some warning or made the consequences of your magical actions known.
[He's referring to these nosebleeds and apparent pain caused.]
Reply
Still, doesn't mean the incessant nose bleed and collapsing isn't any less embarrassing now than it was when it happened with Calvin, and if Tammy could she'd run off somewhere private to tend to the flood coming out of her nose. But since she can't move her legs yet, she instead takes a moment to swear violently at an utterly unapologetic Antalyon (mentally, of course, no sense letting them know she's nuts) and sort out her potential answer.]
S'not usually this bad. Kinda...different here, I guess.
[Man, her voice sounds weird and thick and nasal. Quick, subject change. Tammy would offer a hand, Kairi, but both of her hands are bloody, so. Have a nod.]
'm fine, thanks. You okay? ['Cause there's no telling what Antalyon's magic could have done.]
Reply
[She grabs a rope and splashes ashore, determined that the boat not go adrift again while she investigates.]
So, how did you do that?
Reply
[Malkus reaches inside of his robe, seeming to pat himself down in an attempt to search for any gauze or cloth. How absolutely shameful! A decent doctor should never be seen without any supplies.
Tammy isn't the only embarrassed one of this group. Not even a handkerchief! Malkus is really going to need to carry his bag around more often.]
I'm terribly sorry, but I'm afraid I don't have anything to clean up the blood. Perhaps I ought to check the ship for something? E-Erm... Try pinching your nose- What am I saying, you probably already know how to handle a nose bleed...
[He turns his attention over at Kairi for a moment before looking back at Tammy.]
That is a good question, actually. How did you move such a vessel?
Reply
Fucking djinn and their magical binding loopholes.
...and it finally occurs to her that hey, there's already a djinn here. One that makes no secret of himself. So she could tell them the truth and they wouldn't put her in a padded room.
Except when she opens her mouth to tell them, nothing comes out.
Not a thing. She tries again, makes her head throb from the effort, and finds a new reason to hate Antalyon.
Because he won't let her say Malkus just bargained away his soul for the ship. And before she can try again, she is speaking.]
It's what you wanted. I can give people the things they want. Most of the time, anyway. Things are a bit different here than they are back home.
Reply
She hadn't seen anything in the boat. But maybe Malkus would find something.
But before she can suggest it, Tammy's speaking.]
So, like a wish?
Reply
Well, Miss Sable, I must thank you for this!
[He motions a hand to the ship.]
You've spared us the possible danger of a kraken. Very much appreciated!
