[ Checks out with what he was told before. Jack's a rational man, of course, not as susceptible to superstition and drunk pirate tales as many sailors, but he’s not immune entirely. If his little project is going to succeed, that’s a set of sails he’d like to avoid. ]

And you don’t know where it came from, or where it went?

[trigeminalheadache]

No, I don’t. As far as I know, no one knows where it came from or where it went.

[ there’s a brief pause, then: ]

You’re going out on the water?

[calicoat]

That's the plan.

[trigeminalheadache]

I don't think I've heard of anyone trying that before. Then again, I think we have more sailors here now than we ever have in the past.

[calicoat]

Do you know more? I have two more from my time, and two Navy boys willing to work with me. I’m prepared to train people, but any experience whatsoever would be better than I am anticipating.

[trigeminalheadache]

[ she pauses a moment, thinking. ]

I can't say that I do. Sorry. Sailing experience or interest isn't something that generally comes up in conversation for me. Not unless they're really good at knots.

[calicoat]

I'd be shocked if there was a man in this city who knows their knots as well as I. If there is, I'd like him on my crew.

[trigeminalheadache]

I'd very much like to see how good your knots are.
