Friday. What's the problem?
Friday. What's the problem?
[he genuinely can't decide if she thinks that will work or if it's just a default reaction.]
Whatever happened, Fio is a good kid. I'm sure she didn't mean to upset you.

[A cougar and a troll arrive at the bridge. Siffleur sits down and tucks his tail around him.]
Captain, we would like to speak with you, if you are not busy. We want to ask if you could make some fish.

"Alive fish," Nepeta adds helpfully, "fur hunting?"
Ah.
[damn. that complicates matters somewhat. he doesn't suspect for a moment that it's a matter of personal preference; if Friday says she can't tell him, she means it. but, unfortunately for her, he's used to having to talk around her magical censors, and he's only the first in a line of people who will be coming for answers.]
This would be much easier for me to drop if Fio weren't involved. And now that Ava is concerned, it's only a matter of time before she comes asking questions herself. Is there anything you can tell me?

[ Crabb hasn't told anyone that she's going to do this! She's also making a lot of assumptions. Assumption 1: she'll pick the right elevator shaft first try (the one at the front of the ship, where there's only the elevator and stairs and the crew cabin wall on deck zero). Assumption 2: there'll be a ceiling hatch to climb out of to get a look at the shaft in the first place.
The plan is this: take the elevator down to deck zero, block the door with a chair from another deck so it won't close, then check for a hatch. If one exists, try to pop it open, if it doesn't open easily, use the Black Note's gloves to vibrate the hatch loose and/or apart.
If one doesn't exist... well, she'll cross that bridge if it comes to it. Look she's a normal human she's not going to just try and force open the elevator doors without trying something else first. ]
Sage advice. [offered with fond surprise.] I certainly hope I take it.
Mm, no, like... They say the gap between worlds is thinnest in places like that, like mirrors. And so the dead use them to look upon the living.
Hm. Okay. [...] Is it something I should ask the Captain about?
[...hm.]
I see. [that is a massive complication. if the Captain finds out there's something Friday knows that he doesn't...] Should he know?
I see. [that is a massive complication. if the Captain finds out there's something Friday knows that he doesn't...] Should he know?
...I see. Alright.
[that doesn't mean he's done with the questions -- but it does mean that he'll need to take a minute to mull it over, first. something that Friday knows but the Captain doesn't. something Fio would be at least tangentially involved with...]
Can I trust that you have everyone's best interests in mind with all this secrecy?

[ At Darcy's advice, Dimitri's brought a sweetened coffee and a walnut bun drizzled in enough honey to choke a bear up to the bridge. There's a much lighter cup of chamomile tea for him, too. ]
[ Deep breath. ]
Captain. I come in the spirit of peace, unarmed, and bearing food and drink.
I have some questions for you.

[It's not the most beautiful skull, but she's actually happy that he took the time to try.]
That looks great!
That looks great!
I can't help but notice that you hesitated before answering that. Are you being entirely truthful?
Did you miss the last part of what I said.
Can't you just get one of the shapeshifters to become a fish or something.
[s'up, just sitting cross-legged across from them.]

I do appreciate the sudden turn towards forthrightness. It's almost like you people listen sometimes.
