As a child, tributes has consisted of hand holding and singing around a bonfire, but Whetu wasn't sure there had been enough team bonding for that just yet. "We'll just burn some leftovers on the deck." She nodded, "Or if anyone wants to volunteer, I'm sure the gods would appreciate some live sacrifice." She joked, baring her toothy grin. It was a stereotype that most Jospians joked about, the native uncultured people of Manpere used live rituals, but they were quite messy and not that popular since cooked meat had been discovered. "Conall looks kinda chewy, but he's big. We could chop him up and ration him out over a week or two." That was only half a joke - if the dog was eating more then his worth, he may have to go to that pasture in the sky.
Sonal didn't get the joke, stray animals had been sacrificed before in her home, so she nodded, but felt it vaguely unnecessary if they had perfectly good eggs to give. Coran had been sectioning off some of his meat and had not really been listening, but at the mention of murdering his best friend he gave a yelp, not sure if she was joking, the little whip of a young man tightened his grip on his knife. The mental image of Coran taking on anyone with a butter knife was laughable, and probably fatal, but he felt he owed Conall for five years of companionship and warmth (and shedding)
Sorry this isn't gr8 I'm on my phone :vvv )

It's ok!)
Kain left a small amount of food on his plate for sacrifice although he didn't approve,mhe wouldn't be the only one not to participate. If anything happened to the ship or to someone later and he didn't do this sacrifice the event could be blamed on him and he couldn't risk that. Plus it seemed like the big woman was superstitious and the two of them already didn't get along. Once Whetu mentioned eating Coran's dog, he smirked ever so slightly, Coran's reaction was what caused his amusement mostly, his squeak of fear and hand clenched around the pathetic knife. Kain was fairly sure Coran could be holding a gun to his head and he still wouldn't feel the least bit threatened by the navigator and he was sure Whetu felt the same despite the fact if had obviously been a joke. Yes, Kain knew how to joke, he just didn't do it often.
Xavier burst out laughing at Coran's reaction and Camilla tried to nudged Coran with her elbow, she shook her head a little to tell him it was a joke and save him the embarrassment. She scratched Corall's ears. "No we can't eat you huh? That would just be sad. Let's eat someone else." She patted his head and was tempted to give him more meat, but she needed to leave the rest and the eggs for the sacrifice.

Whetu waved him down, "Relax Coran, it was a joke. Unless you knock us all over again like earlier. Then the dog dies." This was still a joke, but she deadpanned it. Whetu liked dogs, they were honest, and fluffy. Granted, she had a couple of scars from a couple of dogs, but that wasn't their fault. They had just been doing their jobs, which was more then she had been doing at those moments, she'd been getting caught. She stood up, feeling the cold more clearly now that the sun was down, and making a note to grab her coat again before she went out on watch. "Come on, we'll get a fire going, and then you can all go to bed." She grabbed her plate, gross eggs rolling about like little eyeballs. "There are earplugs, make sure you grab a pair, because if a mermaid pulls you over, I am not jumping in after you." Could mermaid charm dogs? Probably not.
A little shamed to have forsaken Conall so quickly, Sonal hoped no one had guessed she was down with murdering the dog so suddenly. Coran pouted, putting his skinny knife down, "That isn't funny." He grumbled, annoyed more now at himself at how obviously that had been a tease, "He's a very intelligent, useful dog." He swore, lying through his teeth. Conall didn't know two tricks, the only things he was good for was cuddling. The big dog snaffled up the meat quickly, before standing up and padding out, as if he'd had enough, or had been offended at the jokes himself. In actually, he was tired, and he knew where his bed was. The navigator and Sonal got up as well, plates in hand, the cold inky night looked far less appealing then the room that had been heated by the people inside of it.

(Omg there is a cool lightening storm tonight my dorm room keeps lighting up and I can hear the rain <3)
Kain grabbed what was left of his plate and dumped it onto Coran's. "You can toss mine in for me." He said flatly. Technically it was probably still his sacrifice since it was his saved portion of food and he was telling someone else to do it for him. He didn't want to do it himself, he had no faith in gods that had only lead him to misfortune, he forged his own path and made his own rules, not them. He left his plate on the table and followed the group slowly up the stairs to watch, he kept his distance though. He pocked a pair of earplugs before ascending, just as a precocious. He wouldn't be caught off guard although he felt he wouldn't be tempted by the mermaids.
Camilla patted Coran's back comfortingly as she passed by him up the stairs. She had grabbed her fluffy blanket and strode beside Whetu, her food in hand. "Do you mind if I get some sleep? I don't think I'll be very useful for watch." She said honestly. Camilla knew her boundaries and she did enjoy a pretty face and sweet words. She didn't think she would be naive enough to fall for it since she knew how to avoid the false promises of most men, but she wasn't willing to take chances. Plus she was very tired, a girl needed her beauty sleep.

this didn't even let Kain play they just threw him in jail right off the bat and made him watch. rip sonal she was a good sailor.
ohhh!!! I love storms <3333 you're so lucky!!)
Startled, Coran nearly dropped his plate that now had two offering, but managed to keep his hands on it, "Oh! Um, sure. No problem." As to why he didn't want to give in his own sacrifice was beyond this young man, but he wasn't about to pry with questions. It was too late for that anyway. A strong, cold breeze blew through and he shivered in his tweed jacket, wishing maybe it didn't have so many holes in it. Sonal brought the steel barbecue out and had gotten a small fire going. She dumped in her own food, said a few words to Una, her favorite god, and headed down to the bunks. Coran dumped two lots of food and said a more vague prayer to all them of them (chances are one had to be listening.) He had to restrain himself from running down the stairs, fatigue settling it, before kicking off his shoes and glasses, putting in his earplugs and sliding into the covers, Conall already there. He wrapped himself around his dog like a massive teddy bear. Without his glasses, though they were small, his face looked more exposed and left little red dents on either side of his nose, "Goodnight." He said to no one in particular, a little louder then he meant to, because of the earplugs.
"Not at all, Xavier and I will be taking this first watch. Nice blanket, by the way." Whetu turned to the doctor, dumping her food in the fire and saying a prayer to Crebhan. Even before this quest he had been her own patron, after all, he smiled to the luckless, and the dirty-fingered. What better god could you choose to worship? "If there's any ruckus down there, you're in charge." Whetu told her, Camilla had a good head on her shoulders and, from what she'd seen, no one had a problem with her. The captain made little shooing movements to her, placing one hand on her head and ruffling her hair slightly, and using the other to turn her back towards the door with the beds behind it, "Go, get.If either of us gets maimed otnight, I want you bright eyed and raring to go when you save our lives." Sonal came back up the steps with her shot gun and a box of bullets, leaving them out for whoever needed them on watch, before heading down again.

Kain didn't wait for Coran to accept and instead stood in the corner, his arms crossed over his chest in slight disapproval as he watched them each give their offering to gods that would be doing them no favors. "I'll take second shift." He offered flatly before returning below deck. He didn't feel very comfortable sleeping around other people, on the streets where he grew up you could never let your guard down like that. However, he would just have to get used to it. There was also a knife under his pillow as a precaution, not that he thought any of the crew had it out for him in particular.
"Oh this ol' thing." Camilla pulled the blanket closer and gave a spin as if she was showing off a brand new dress she was excited about. "It's very comfy, I'll be nice and warm tonight." She said cheerfully. She stepped forward and said her prayer with no specific god in mind. They would need all of their good fortune to succeed. "Me in charge? How exciting. Don't worry, I'll get my beauty sleepy and if something goes wrong I'll be much more qualified to patch you up." She teased and gave a little wave before she went below deck. She had a gift for falling asleep quickly and after a long day she was out seconds after lying down and closing her eyes. Xavier gave his sacrifice and stayed where he was to take watch with Whetu. He loaded the shot gun carefully, just in case. "Ready?" He asked her.
Ugh sorry those were lame I'm so tired)

try to play a good wholesome family game and the whole ship burns down what a disaster. It's ok! I'm tired too -u- school's back soon and I didn't manage to get a job over summer so I'm :// )
"Born ready, Xavier." She pulled the earplugs out of her coat pocket, but didn't put them in just yet. When Kain offered to take the next watch, she waved him off, "I'm surprised that guy even sleeps." She muttered to Xavier, "Thought he might just hang upside down from the ceiling all night." She yawned into her hand, grabbing her gun and pulling one of the blankets around her. The little islands around them were black against black now, and a big fat full moon was peeking it's way over. There were no clouds tonight, just like there'd be none earlier, and the stars were starting to come out. She screwed her earplugs in one at a time, and took a seat looking over the edge, gun resting lightly in her hands.

"Chrysanta." She stuck out her hand in greeting, relieved to be lifted from the burden of having to guess this woman's name. In response to her comment, she shrugged a little, "I suppose.Sometimes I find it easier to remember traits then names." This was usually how she sorted her peers: sword fighters, hand-to-hand combatants, explosion experts, the like. If she wasn't mistaken, this girl was a sword fighter, like herself. It was the go-to after all. "Quit today?" She asked, in reference to the busy streets which were gradually dying { hi!

"I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he sleeps with both eyes wide open ready to stab you if you get too close."Xavier snorted in agreement and pulled his black pea coat closer as the chill from nighttime on the ocean became more prevalent. He set the shotgun down beside him and let out a dramatic sigh as he took a seat and stretched his legs out. He then fiddled with his ear plugs until they were right and he was confident they would effectively serve their purpose. "I always love the stars when I'm at sea. They're amazing." He commented lightly, neck craned to stare at the sky, the stars twinkled above.

"Agreed." She nodded, eyes on the sky too, "There's so many more of them when you're out from land. My favourite thing is when, at the horizon, the sea and the ocean merge." She pointed it out, black meeting black, "When I was little I wanted to sail out there, and see what happened when you got caught between them." Whayvania may not be as 'civilized' as the larger states, but it's rural, untouched landscapes had a beauty that, even Whetu had to admit, wealth couldn't buy. But there were lots of things wealth could buy, like this ship. She was still giddy over singing the ownership papers. "If we do gte eaten by mermaids, I'm glad it'll happen on such a beautiful night."

"My father used to teach me how to use the stars to find your way home when lost. I don't really remember which one to follow though." Xavier commented, eyes still fixed on the sky, a slight frown touched his lips before it turned into a smirk. "I suppose that's why we have a navigator though. Not that he's particularly good at his job." He teased and fixed his golden eyes back on the captain. "It is quite a beautiful night, not even as cold as I thought it would be." The cold was not something he was fond of so this was very pleasing. "I won't be getting eaten by mermaids tonight. But it would be a beautiful night for you to go." He teased her.

She knew the star he was talking about, the one brighter then all the others, but she couldn't find it at this moment, must be behind them (which would defeat the purpose of a navigating star by a serious degree). At the tease on their tweed-coated friend, she gave his arm a little smack, "He has his uses." She promised, but said nothing more about it. Leaning back, she got more comfortable, stretching her legs out in front of her and making her ankles crack, "Xavier, we're only known each other for a short time, but I feel a connection with you," She turned to him, "In short, if I die, you're dying with me." Her face broke into a grin, unable to keep a straight face, though it was actually in his contract. It was in all of their contracts, but if Whetu actually was to die she wasn't sure how she would be able to make sure they followed it to the letter.
shall we spice it up with some mermaids >:3c )

Xavier laughed loudly and gave her a little shove. "You would want me, young and handsome with so much to live for, to just rot in the underworld with you because you couldn't stay alive? What a selfish captain I have followed on this journey." He rolled his eyes, but was still grinning brightly. Whetu was someone he felt a connection to whether or not she was joking about that and he trusted her as a captain. A soft sound could be heard by the boat. Xavier might have not noticed it if the wind hadn't stopped ruffling the sails moments before. "Did you hear that?"

Caught up in the laughter (sorry to the folks trying to sleep down there, Whetu's laugh was nice, but loud.) she didn't, and blinked, the grin disappearing in a matter of moments, "No, I didn't." She was still then, and she wasn't sure when she hefted the shotgun to her shoulder, but it was there now, a comforting weight of steel and wood. It was difficult with the earplugs in, but she strained and listened, frowning in concentration. She was glad it was a clear night, doing this during a howling storm would've put both of them on edge too much, unable to hear anything until it was too late. "Should we check over the side?" She asked quietly, not sure why she was whispering, but she wasn't about to speak up.

Xavier frowned slightly as he thought, but eventually nodded. There was no other way to discover the source of the noise, he hoped it would just be the waves hitting the boat or a sea bird landing in the water. He lifted his own gun, his aim was outstanding and he wasn't worried about missing, more about being distracted. He put a slender finger to his lips and began to carefully head to the side of the boat, his steps as soft as possible so not to make the wood of the old ship squeak. He waved a hand for Whetu to join him and held his gun ready.

She gently rolled her blanket to one side, it would only tangle her feet up, and it somehow spoiled the image she was going for, being as stealthy as she could and sneaking across the boards. She had faith in Xaiver's aim, it was the thing that had initially brought him to her attention, but she liked her own chances more in a close one-on-one fight, and mermaids didn't like getting too close unless you were underwater. Suddenly she wished it wasn't so dark, maybe then they wouldn't have to get so close. The water was as black and as deep as the sky, and their only light was the dying fire behind them, where was the moon when you needed her? She whispered as quietly as she could, "See anything?" Just because the silence was a little too much for the gal who liked noise as a rule of thumb.

Xavier narrowed his eyes and peered over the edge of the ship. The water below hit the side of the boat rhythmically and gently, it was calming and almost made him forget what he was looking for. The water was inky black and he couldn't see any signs of movement, not even the flash of a silver tail below the depth. If they had more light maybe it out have been easier. He didn't like having two senses duller than usual, his earplugs kept him from being able to hear those quiet sounds that indicated movement and his eyes weren't adjusted well in the dark. "No. Maybe it was nothing. I swear I heard something though." He whispered back, his voice sounded unsure.

She wished she was assured by his change of mind, but her nerves had been spiked now. Easy, easy, don't lose your head. No point chasing ghosts. "Well, I don't see anything either." She added, but didn't back away from the edge all the same. She wasn't scared of water, deep or dark, she couldn't be in this occupation, but there was something unnerving about that unending pitch that never really left anyone. Then, just below the surface, something pale whipped by as quick as a flash, and Whetu cursed, jerking back, "Did you see that?" The only thing scarier then seeing nothing in the ocean at night was seeing something.
