We have acquired more passengers in the last month and I have failed in my diplomatic duty to acquaint myself with these people or to present myself as a sincerely peace of mind person, or as one to go to for additional information or a listening ear

Well I has hopin' not ta have any plans, but it seems the boat decided against me. Y'can do whatever y'want with Sergei's.

[oblique_wisdom]

You should celebrate, however. That day only comes once every year. It should be a sign of fortunate things to come, really.

I will take very good care of Sergei's for you, however.

[That's code for Zelda's going to make you something special! ♥]

[thenotmagician]

Eh, never liked celebrating it, personally.

I'm pretty sure y'will. Have fun.

[oblique_wisdom]

...You sound so upset... Are you all right, Zeke? Does your birthday really upset you so much?

[Voice]

[tldriving]

Excuse me, Zelda is it? The name's Blurr; are you saying that you have further information on this boat, its setup and the passengers and crew?

[Voice]

[oblique_wisdom]

That is correct, Sir Blurr. I do know a little about those aboard, and the craftsmanship. I cannot say it would be entirely useful, however, I do have some.

[Voice]

[tldriving]

I'm not a really a "sir," I'm an Intelligence Agent from the Cybertronian Elite Guard. I've been looking through the ship's records, everything that's been saved over this communications system, but I've yet to find a reliable source of information for anything further than that. If you do happen to know anything else it would be very helpful.

[Yeah, he does kinda always talk this rapidly. 8|]

[Voice]

[oblique_wisdom]

[She pauses thoughtfully, just letting those words sink in.]

What... specifically are you searching for? It is more difficult to help with the general rather than a particular interest.

[shenghuanzhe]

What message.

[oblique_wisdom]

That passage in that book.

[shenghuanzhe]

What message? I was just readin'.

[No, he's not about to admit over a public channel what he was doing. First of all, that would be a breach of security. Second of all, if someone else found out that the passage he was studying could have been some type of message from Redd, that's giving possibly sensitive information out to passengers.

He may have trusted you with the idea that it may have been a message from Redd, Zelda, but that doesn't mean he trusts the entire ship.]

[oblique_wisdom]

Oh... I thought...

[She pauses distinctly. What a way for him to be aloof. Something's off, which means she shouldn't touch it. That seems to be the way things are going from now on.]

...It's nothing. Never mind.

[aquatail]

Wow, so polite... Thanks for the introduction, miss Zelda! I'm Misty, one of the new passengers.

[oblique_wisdom]

Misty. What a pretty name. It is very nice to meet you. Are you finding the ship remotely to your tastes...?

[aquatail]

Oh, um, thank you! Yeah, I like it so far! I feel the most at home on the sea.

[oblique_wisdom]

Oh! So then this is like being home for you then? I suppose that would be nice.

[chopshopgoddess]

You're so sweet, Zelda.

[oblique_wisdom]

Nonsense. What a silly thing to say. I am just attempting to make things a little easier for the newcomers. In a respectable way, I mean.

[chopshopgoddess]

I still think it's really sweet of you, Zelda.

[oblique_wisdom]

You think highly of me. I appreciate it, Miss Mikaela. You have my gratitude.
