Following Lady Sheridan's suggestion, Parish continues to steer the ship north, back towards the B&B. And, as luck would have it, as the vessel draws near the inn once again, the Moon Prince spies Sal's van through their silver spyglass!
OOC:
When we find Sal's van, we've got to do an awful lot of hard work (and spend 3 tokens between us) to lash it safely to the aft end of the boat to be towed.

With the geese taken care of, Moon Prince dusts themselves off. They feel a bit sad that some of them were now dead. They kneel down next to one of the cadavers. "Poor thing." They say. "I wish it wouldn't have ended like this for you." They had seemed so hostile and scary before, but now the lifeless body of the goose was no more than a fluffy cuddle toy. "They may be horrid to you, Lady Sheridan, but they're just trying to live their life just like you are. I for one think you could have a bit more compassion if I'm being honest!" they lash out at the vampire lady for her comment.
OOC:
Bingo: examine something earthlings take for granted.
Then they walk over to Parish and plant a kiss on his cheek. "But thank you for protecting me, Parish."

"Think nothing of it, your Highness," Parish says as a slight rosy glow blossoms on his cheeks. "But there is truly no higher reward for a knight than a kiss from a member of a royal family - lunar or terrestrial!"

With a new bounce in his step, he quickly sets about aligning the boat to Sal's van and hopping back and forth, rope in hand, whistling a vaguely familiar tune from the courts of yesteryear.
OOC:
Parish will spend 2 tokens toward getting the van attached.

Moon Prince will add one.

Parish and the Moon Prince work together to tether the van to the boat. Once it is secure, Amelie takes the rudder to guide the vessel back home to the Bed & Breakfast at last. The gathered guests cheer as the inn comes into sight. The boat docks alongside and everybody gets off, eager for a hot meal by a cozy fire.

The nautical adventure has come to a close. Soon enough, the floodwaters will recede and life in Veilridge will return to normal. But everybody will remember what an interesting and unusual time this has been.

And that is the story of our little island!

The B&B gains a Sailor Cap (Circle Memento).

As the itinerant crew and passengers head into the B&B, Bud Woodruff approaches Viv. "'Sup, bro? You were pretty gnarly out there, man." The alraune waves their tendrils excitedly. "What's your name, bruh?"

Viv blushes behind her long hair. "Oh, uh, I'm not a man. Not really..."

Bud scoffs. "Chill, dude! No need to get the bends. Everybody can be a bro. I'm a bro. You're a bro. He's a bro. She's a bro. We're all bros, bruh!"

Viv's eyes widen slightly as she feels a little pang of yearning in her chest. She's never really felt comfortable being the so-called "Lady" of the Lake. It's always pigeonholed her into a specific role in the minds of others. But here at Yazeba's, everybody has been so accepting and open to those who've wanted or needed to change. She thinks of Mr. Boggs' epiphany, of Robin Combustion's shedding of its lumbering pyroclastic form. Could she, too, change to be somebody else? Somebody different from who she's always been?

Viv squares her shoulders and looks at Bud.

"I'm... Vince. My name is Vince," she says, and over the course of the sentence, it becomes true.
