[PQ+] a flash of green

i want to taste you again

It's a rare thing, for the Ark to set sail before LeafChange truly begins. An even rarer thing to have reason behind the rhyme, but here we are. The ship is out on official business, as is evidenced by the fact that the fucking Governor of all people has been invited along for the ride. Is Jack happy about this? Happier than Zephyr is, he imagines; even so, the captain stands at the wheel as they cut through the lazy waves of mid-morning, leaving Haulani far behind them.

"It's never been done," he's informing Sunjata and Zephyr, wherever they might be. "I've sailed every inch of these waters available to me, an' I'm tellin' you, what we're tryin' has never been done." But he's heard of people trying to get through the jungles as of late. Of creeping vines and molten tigers. And hell, if anyone can do the impossible, it's the Ark and her crew.

like a secret or a sin

JACK

the sea speaks a little more honestly

He hasn’t been on a ship out in the ocean in a very long time. Nor has he been out on one with a group of people that didn’t particularly consider him a friend of sorts – indeed, the Flood lingers by his niece, back up against the rail of the Ark, letting his gaze drift back toward Jack as he speaks while Haai flies an easy arc above the ship. If he’s being honest, he’s got nothing to deny what Jack says on the possibility of it being done before, if anything the governor is just along for the ride.

“I can scout both sky and water.” He offers to Jack – an attempt of coming onto this voyage as a brief peace offering – with his orca shift that could linger below and the dragon that could haunt the sky. He’s prepared as much as he can be, he thinks, pushing off of the bannister to nudge Melita with his elbow and a roguish grin, before approaching Jack and wherever Zeph is. “Any idea of what we might encounter?” Even if Jack doesn’t have an idea, Sunjata can’t help but to ask.

Sunjata arrives with the following:

HAAI - Mythical - Griffin (Fire breath)

Type: Grey
hEARs | An earring that when worn, increases the sound of voices (especially whispers)

Type: Grey
Flooded Brass Knuckles | brass knuckles inlaid with sapphires. When something is hit with these, jets of water pour from the sapphires with shocking force. Made by Remi.

Type: Dark
Trident Daggers (Upgraded) | Two daggers perfectly weighted and sculpted for Sunjata. One can shoot fire in a 5ft arc and the other electricity.

to those who are willing to drown

SUNJATA

just take your time wherever you go

The Ark was out on official business indeed and Saiden was probably about as annoyed as Jack was about it. The cook didn't particularly like having landlubbers aboard who'd just get in the way when something inevitably went wrong. Luckily, the Hali had already fed the crew, so was left to his own devices.  

Which at the moment meant he was coiling some rope up on deck. He had a cutlass strapped to his waist and some vials tucked into his belt pouch. A breeze carried the captain's voice to Saiden, although he was careful to keep his back to Jack and his two companions. The cook didn't know how the captain would react to eavesdropping, but he figured he'd rather not find out.

Saiden has a cutlass and a few vials from his cauldron:

Type: Light
Magic Cauldron | Saiden has come into possession of a magic cauldron that produces potions with a variety of effects. Every day the type of potion randomly changes and the previous day's potions become inert. When consumed, the effect for each day is chosen by a random dice roll, 1-4. There is no way to determine the effect of the potion without ingesting it. The effects are as follows: +1 to Dexterity and +1 Endurance for the rest of the thread, +2 to Luck for the rest of the thread, truth potion, hallucinogenic potion. The effects of the potion dissipate at the end of a thread, and other individuals can consume potions.
