[adherency]

What are you going to get yourself into, then?

[calicoat]

I've got a Submissive moving in tomorrow, need to get him settled. Among other things.

[adherency]

You've signed with someone? Anyone I know?

[calicoat]

Maybe you know him. Perhaps not, he's newer than I am.

[ Jopson does. No idea if he would have mentioned him, back when the two were on speaking terms. ]

Cornelius Hickey. Fellow sailor.

[adherency]

I don't know him but there's been a few of us coming in lately, haven't there? Sailors, I mean.

[calicoat]

Yourself, Anne, and I. Hickey. Jopson. Anyone else I should know about?

[adherency]

That's all that I know of at the time. But, could be others that I just don't know about.

[calicoat]

There's a man that sails among the stars. Ephemera.

And the sea spirit woman.

We're halfway to manning a longboat.

[adherency]

Gilia?

( he hasn't met ephemera but he knows gilia. )

Gilia would probably be a better sailor than all of us from what I know of her.

[calicoat]

That's the one.

[ And from there, radio silence, regardless of whatever else Billy's got to say about her. Several hours and even more drinks later: ]

glorious day marvelous news etcetera etcetera

another one

Charles Vane's popped in

[adherency]

Vane's here?

Fuck me, didn't expect that one.

[calicoat]

nor did I

Submissive. on the fucking warpath about it. full schedule as I said

[adherency]

Let's hope that people stay out of his way then.

Fuck, a submissive. That'll go well.

[calicoat]

I am considering it a great success that I've talked him down from getting violent. As good as i can hope for.

[adherency]

He'll be one who needs a contract as soon as possible.
