7th ♥ [Video]

[lightyourway]

[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,

O-Oh dear. Oh dear. M-Miss, how did you get past- How did you reach-

[The doctor is rather ruffled and nervous right now, though there's a sense of faint comfort in knowing that she's not harmed and enjoying... THEIR boat.]

Erm... Miss Kairi, pardon me but- That ship has erm... A current owner!

[commentlog]

[doctoral_bird]

[Malkus has no idea, Tammy. He's just as happy sounding as ever.]

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...

[commentlog]

[needsnobottle]

[No Malkus that was not the right thing to say, no nonononono--]

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.]

[lightyourway]

[When the boat arrives in the shallows, Kairi's been knocked off her feet and is sitting in a heap in the bow. As it comes to a smooth stop, she peaks out over the side.]

Oh, hello.

[commentlog]

[doctoral_bird]

What?

[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...

[commentlog]

[needsnobottle]

[It's going to take her a minute to respond, Malkus, she's trying to stop the sudden nosebleed and her brain feels like it's imploded inside her skull. Fuck you very much, Antalyon.]

Nnngh.

[Yep, she's eloquent right now.]

S'me.

[commentlog]

[lightyourway]

[Kairi stares at Malkus. She is magical, sort of. But she couldn't do this. But before she can tell him, the woman - Tammy - speaks up.

Kairi jumps out of the boat and into the shallows, playing at piracy forgotten.]

Are you okay?

[commentlog] Oh god sorry, never got a notif D|

[doctoral_bird]

O-Oh dear.

[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.]

[commentlog] That was a ball drop on my end, I'll do better at passing the tag on

[needsnobottle]

[Unexpected benefit of being kidnapped by an enigmatic old hoarder? Turns out magic isn't something people point at and scream bloody murder about. Which is a relief because Tammy couldn't take the screaming right now.

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.]

[lightyourway]

Sure.

[She grabs a rope and splashes ashore, determined that the boat not go adrift again while she investigates.]

So, how did you do that?

[doctoral_bird]

A-Are you really certain you're alright?

[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?

[needsnobottle]

[A good question, yep! One Tammy has been trying to think up an answer for. Should she tell them the truth? She doesn't know this new girl, but considering the position Malkus is now in, he deserves to know the truth. It's his soul he just gave up, after all.

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.

[lightyourway]

[Kairi crouches down next to Tammy, willing to help her to the water's edge so that she can at least splash some water on her face and chin and get some of the blood off.

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?

[doctoral_bird]

Ah! Now that's quite the interesting gift, eh? I can see why one would perhaps wish to keep that less than public knowledge 'n all, considering the effects of said wish granting.

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!

[needsnobottle]

[Yeah, but she figures when the good doctor discovers the price he paid for that wish, the kraken will probably seem preferable. But Tammy still can't say it, and against every desire in her body she chuckles, getting her feet under her and swaying a bit as she stands.]

You're welcome, Doc. Glad I could actually manage to help.

[lightyourway]

Hey,

[Kairi grins at Malkus]

You haven't stolen it yet. I'm still the Captain.
