JACK
see me falling
yeah, down and lonely
yeah, down and lonely
They all snap to their work, and Jack flits around all but Eloise (he couldn’t help her even if he wanted to, given the intimacy of her magic). But as the illusion blooms around them, he helps to lower the sails and with the cannons, blue eyes flicking to her quiver as if to keep it in mind, whatever happens. And damn but if his crew doesn’t work like a well-oiled machine.
Unfortunately, luck is not on their side. Really, really not on their side. (Thank you, dice).
The cannons fire wide, splashing into the water some distance from the ruckus above the waves, and one of them doesn’t quite fire at all, burning Melita’s hand as it goes off. And however good Eloise’s illusions are, they can’t stop a ghost whale for... doing what ghost whales do. All at once, the commotion of birds and other creatures... stops. The whale has taken a dive.
”Fuck,” Jack whispers under his breath. He... doesn’t know what to do. In this moment, he doesn’t honestly know. Then, because there’s nothing else, he nods to Melita. ”Get all that gunpowder together and bring it to the side rail,” he says. ”Eloise, keep it up! Saiden, churn up the water as far enough away from us as you can!”
The whale took a dive because I rolled like SHIT. Jack gives further instructions.
