[Maximilien is going to approach guest services and stand there politely with his hands behind his back.]

Good evening, I wish to lodge a formal complaint about this vessel.

[He'd like to speak to the manager.]

Friday & Captain

[Friday will get a handwritten note in barely legible scrawl: "BeST BoAT BaBEs" with a very lopsided gold star, on black and white striped stationary. "Luve Ya, BJ"

The Captain will receive a note written in even worse scrawl: "WHAT THE HELL? -- BJ".

[ a day before the excursion--

venti makes his way over to the service desk, a book in hand, looking... slightly more of a mess. braids half-done, cloak and corset missing. just #postdeathblues, what can he say.

but he does want to chat with friday, his wave at her is only half as cheerful as he usually is, or maybe a lot less so than that. ]
Hi~ Miss Friday.

Do you happen to have a moment to chat?
palfriday: (and I'll try)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-05-10 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[oh wow someone who wants her to do her actual job? she's excited.]

Of course! What's wrong, Mr. 7-98000?
palfriday: (I look to the sea)

Re: friday

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-05-10 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Of course! [a pause] How are you feeling? After, well...

[you know. you were there.]
wimdy: (I break a hateful heart)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-05-10 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ he reaches to his neck, looking briefly pained. well, maybe the first death is the trickiest…? it could only get easier from here right? ] Fine, I feel fine.

How exactly… or… [ how does he ask this? bodily, he feels there’s nothing wrong. ] Why is it that we come back to life, anyway?
palfriday: ('cause I've got to be free)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-05-10 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[pauses

shrugs]


Well, maybe it's less work to bring someone back to life than it is to get someone new!
wimdy: (ain't no conversations)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-05-10 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Really… I can’t say I’d know either way, but there seems to be new people appearing by the week or even day, sometimes.
palfriday: (so climb aboard)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-05-10 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, gosh, don't I know it! I bring everyone to their room their first day, you know!
wimdy: (real estate in your skin)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-05-10 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Ehe, you sure are busy. Thanks for your help all the time~

Anyway, do you recall when I said I would look for your name in stories?
palfriday: (and I'll try)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-05-10 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[nods] Of course! Did you find it?
wimdy: (13)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-05-10 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ he offers over ‘robinson crusoe’, bookmarked to man friday’s naming by crusoe. ] Mhm, here it is. I’ve searched many stories but I’ve only found this one, so far.

Have you read it?
palfriday: (for the virgin sea)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-05-10 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[she takes the book, looking over the cover.]

... Oh, gosh, I haven't heard of this one at all! I was talking about an entirely different story... What's this one about?
wimdy: (ain't no conversations)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-05-10 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
A different one, really! [ well, he does like reading all of this new fiction to him, so. he won’t complain about doing more of that at all. ] Seems I’ll have to do more reading.

The story is about a man shipwrecked on an island, who befriended and… hmm, convinced this native ‘Friday’ to be his manservant. [ no doubt there’s a lot to be read or interpreted about friday and crusoe, but he’s a bard and not quite like, a lit grad student. still! ] I don’t suppose our Captain and Mr Crusoe are terribly similar but you are his servant, right?
palfriday: (reflections in the waves)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-05-10 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so that's where the Friday part comes from? I didn't know that! [she thinks...] I guess I am! Though, I didn't need any convincing; he made me for it!

[she pauses] When you were looking, did you see... There's a book of ancient myths, by a man named Ovid! One of them is about Pygmalion, and that's what the Captain was thinking about when he gave me my name!
wimdy: (real estate in your skin)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-05-10 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh— ] I saw that one, I believe! I’d like to read everything in the library if possible, I do collect stories to tell tales. But I… perhaps I’m in the middle of this epic about a ring… [ distracted by tolkien, whoops. ] I’ll have to set it aside to pick up this Ovid, though.

Anyway, have you happened to learn mine yet?
palfriday: (to carry on)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-05-10 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
... [shoulders droop]

Well, no, not really... The Captain says you were a god, but he didn't say much else!
wimdy: (they playin' with my name)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-05-10 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so he knows.

Maybe my god’s name isn’t very important, then. But, Mr. Yuri said he would… collect them. Is that also true?
palfriday: (set an open course)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-05-10 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
He is a bit of a snoop, yes...

Yes, I'd say that's true! He just likes any sort of interesting person, really, and gods can be very interesting!
wimdy: (these bullets coming at you)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-05-10 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ … ]

What would it take for him to free us?

[ not that he thinks it could possibly be as simple as asking, but. he’s tired and sober and not functioning at his best, as if he ever does. ]
palfriday: (that's ahead of me)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-05-10 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[she falls silent, fussing with the papers in front of her.]

... Nothing. Everything. [pause] It's always a trick. Always.
wimdy: (let the kids crown me king for this art)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-05-10 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Ehe… it surely couldn’t be that simple, but it was worth asking.

Then, can I show you something else?
palfriday: (I look to the sea)

[personal profile] palfriday 2022-05-10 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[a pause... then, she nods.]
wimdy: (13)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-05-10 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ he takes out his phone to scroll to a picture (paling and scrolling very quickly past the pic of his own severed head because oh fucking god)

the pic he’d be looking for would be a sketch of the sigils on jenny’s walls, on note paper, copied quite accurately from memory. ]


I saw these on Miss Jenny’s walls, in her ship. Would you happen to know what they’re meant for?
