Believe me, I understand. I don't much like it either but asking questions has proven futile as well. No one has any answers that will make this any better.

No one has an answers at all, the locals treat you like a raving lunatic if you ask them what's beyond the water, or anything else of any consequence.

I'll have a look at your boat.

I'd appreciate that. I should get it named before someone I know sinks it.

And who is looking to sink it?

Lotti, I think, if I don't name it after her. Daphne might just because she can.

Don't think I know this Lotti woman.

Why would Daphne want to? I was under the impression that you two were close.

I don't actually think Daphne would unless I pissed her off. But if I pissed her off, she'd set it on fire and sink it.

Don't piss her off.

Wouldn't dream of it.

She's not a cannibal though.

I mentioned that to her and she laughed.

Glad the two of you could have a laugh about it. There is no shortage of questionable sorts around here, can't be too careful.

[ He says, while there is an actual cannibal living in his apartment, unbeknownst to him. ]

Oh, I know. Don't worry, she told me she'd take a bite out of you if you really wanted it.

Did she, now. I've a full schedule of inconveniences ahead, she'll have to set an appointment.

What are you going to get yourself into, then?

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

You've signed with someone? Anyone I know?

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.

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

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

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

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

And the sea spirit woman.

We're halfway to manning a longboat.

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.

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

Vane's here?

Fuck me, didn't expect that one.

nor did I

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

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

Fuck, a submissive. That'll go well.
