JACK
see me falling
yeah, down and lonely
yeah, down and lonely
Jack is at the port side with Melita, while Saiden creates a distraction at starboard. She brings the gunpowder and the captain tips her a wink, like he knows exactly what he’s doing. (He doesn’t). Still, he strikes at the matches in his back pocket, lights the fuse, and tosses the gunpowder overboard. A combination of oil and wax means the fuse won’t go out, but fuck if it isn’t a close one.
And when it goes off, fuck if it doesn’t make the Ark rock and roll. Jack loses his footing, elbows cracking against the deck as he falls. Melita and Eloise will find themselves similarly shaken, though Saiden keeps his sea legs well enough. Unfortunately, the disruption will wrench Eloise’s concentration away, and the Ark will flicker back into view.
However - it seems they have done enough. The distractions - and the sudden explosion - means that the ghost whale aborts its mission at the last second; the crew will watch with wide eyes as it breaches the surface of the water a short distance away from them, colossal and nightmare-inducing. The splash as it dives away again is enough to soak them all, and to sweep away a lot of their supplies. Splendid.
But there’s silence, afterwards. And a few long, held breaths. The whale does not return. ”Check the ship,” Jack calls from the deck, not bothering to get up. He doesn’t have the energy, honestly.
The ghost whale was distracted by the gunpowder and the waterworks from Saiden! However, the resulting explosion means the Ark has taken MODERATE DAMAGE, and is slowly taking on water.
Two thirds of the supplies have also been washed away out to sea. Hopefully there’s enough to limp home!
No post order - give a final wrap up detailing what your character does to try and straighten things out!
