JACK
Together, the trio are louder in silence than they might ever be at a social event, and Jack spends a few moments setting the threads of the girls' thoughts into some sort of an order - Caly, turbulent as any rogue storm on a sunny day, and Nova, bright and effervescent as ever. "It's got its perks," he agrees of the licks of flame, letting them settle into the lanterns and turning to survey the rest of the space.
He's content to let Vesper and Nova get to work, and between the two of them (and the demigod's shadows) they are able to make little trouble of the supplies. The crooked merchant running the stall up where Vesper stands is also surprisingly helpful, directing the placement of his supplies where they can hide even the slightest entry through the hatch.
Downstairs, Caly makes similarly swift work with her dusting and sweeping, Jack burning through thick cobwebs and using his air magic to corral the dust into a heap. He also works at cleaning the table and shelves up, shoving one particular shelf to the side, revealing a hidden door out of the barge.
Opening said door once all the Marins are back belowdeck, outside they'll see the dark, cold waters of the Exchange, and a handily tethered rowboat filled with boxes of very different supplies. "Next we gotta unload this in here - don't fall in," Jack advises, grabbing a box for himself.
"I've been learnin' that information is just as lucrative an' contraband as anythin' I've smuggled in the past. So I thought I - we - might make a business of it," he tells them.
Round 2!
The supplies are moved and the space beneath the barge is now clean and tidy! Jack has revealed a hidden (emergency) entrance/exit with a rowboat tethered outside filled with guild supplies. Help bring them in! There are:
- Several fragile tubes and scrolls of rolled-up maps.
- Boxes of stationary, including ink, empty leatherbound ledgers, parchment, folios and other writing implements.
- Stacks of parchment scrawled with writing in numerous different hands.
