Your worthy vessel? What are you expecting? To float in luxury?

[adamantined]

You aren't even in high school yet.

I said people. I didn't say deities or curses.

[prefers_chess]

My counsellors always said I was highly advanced for my age.

The quartermaster attempted to form a bet with me in exchange for my services.

[adamantined]

The same ones that want to send you to camp?

I think he was probably just trying to get some pimp juice from you. Did you accept?

[prefers_chess]

Even broken clocks are right twice a day.

No. But meeting him was interesting, to say the least.

[adamantined]

The people things? who show up during stuff like this usually are, in one way or another.

[prefers_chess]

Like the shepherdess from several months ago?

[adamantined]

That's one example, yeah. Most of them aren't the good type of interesting, but they are interesting. Especially considering the deities usually end up trying to get them to leave or something. This time around it's like everyone's on the same side.

[prefers_chess]

This one appears congenial enough. When he's not attempting thinly-veiled extortion, that is.

Are you going on the boat?

[adamantined]

Like I said, he just wants pimp juice.

I haven't decided yet.

[prefers_chess]

I do not stock juice of that variety.

You have less than a quarter of a day. I suggest you decide quickly.

[adamantined]

I'd be concerned if you did.

Are you worried I'll get swept away?

[prefers_chess]

No. I merely want to know in advance if you intend to come, so that I can be prepared to avoid you if necessary.

[adamantined]

Well I'm not telling you now.

[prefers_chess]

What about Ginny?

[adamantined]

Why don't you ask Ginny yourself?
