Parish adjusted his sailing cap and squeezed the Captain's pipe between his thin, froggy lips. "A fine day for sailing. We are ready to cast off our rizz and yeet our fine ship across the placid waters," he says, one webbed foot planted on the bow.

Viv had been swimming around the inundated grounds of the B&B, at home in the newly underwater world. Her long hair flowed behind her as she examined the garden (where the Rabbits had all found little masks and snorkels to go with their little outfits), the soggy cardboard walls of Hey Kid Hotel (where the various Hey Kid clones were offering wet waffles to anybody who made it out there), and the newly reopened basketball court (where the balls all now bobbed about like buoys--she hadn't even had a chance to learn some sick b-ball skills from the newly arrived Bud Woodruff).
Lost in wonder as she looks down at the place now so like her lake home, she fails to look up in time to notice Parish's boat. Not until she bumps her head into the side of it! Oof! That wasn't there before!Viv breaches the surface and looks up at the boat and its crew. "Are you guys, like, going sailing? Can I come? And bring my fishing rods?"

Moon Prince's dark green wellies stepped onto Parish's boat. The person wearing them made some sort of military gesture... or at least what they thought that would look like. They were wearing a bright yellow rain jacket with one of those wide brimmed yellow hats.
In reality it looked nothing like how a sailor was supposed to stand to attention. "First mate, Prince, reporting for duty!" they said way too confidently and then instantly ruined the confidence by saying. "So, what's a first mate? Like a best friend, right?"

Amelie weighs the boat down as they board, tipping it considerably toward portside on the first step, then teetering it both ways on the next! "I do not mean to rock the boat," the maid-bot says apologetically.
Producing an extendable mop seemingly out of nowhere, the robo-maid volunteers themself for "swabbing the deck. What better way to set sail than in cleanliness?"

"Permission to come aboard granted, Lady Niviana!" Parish says. "Or will you be sailing alongside us I wonder... Yes, a proper fleet we shall make!"
He turns to Moon Prince. "While I value our friendship more than any glittering pile of golden treasure, First Mate is a position that comes with great responsibility! You will ensure the safety of all aboard and assist in navigation, among other duties." He watches Amelie swab for a moment and then adds "And now that our poop deck is magnificently swabbed, we are ready to set sail! Raise the anchor! Man the focsle! Batten down the mizzen mast! Er... wait is that correct? It seems like an age since I last felt the spray of the sea in my face. But irregardless, full steam ahead!" He wobbles along the deck as it tilts precipitously (not from a raging sea) but from Amelie moving on it. "Now where did I leave that sextant..."

Assuming Parish agrees to the choice of direction, Viv nods. "Aye, aye, captain," she says, quietly tacking the sails to catch the wind and move the boat along. The sails flutter as the group departs the B&B.'Soon thereafter, the vessel arrives at a local landmark. The giant drive-in movie theater screen looms above the lapping waves that have overtaken Veilridge. Townsfolk have gathered in kayaks and rafts, munching on popcorn as they watch a B-movie marathon. On screen, Kevin Costner grimaces and glowers his way through a scene in the much-maligned film Waterworld.

Amelie glances at the unfamiliar movie and quickly gathers information for conversational purposes. "This is Waterworld, best known for its notoriously troubled and expensive production and on-set clashes between the director and star, both of whom bear the given name Kevin. The most surprising part of this film is—"
Heads on kayaks turn to the robo-maid, with narrowed eyes and contorted frowns.

Fortunately, the multitude of vexed expressions triggers Amelie’s spoiler alert. They seamlessly finish their sentence with a tactical pivot: "—yet to be seen, but I am sure you will ooh and/or ahh at the great reveal. Please enjoy the show."
Aside from a couple lingering exasperated stares, heads turn back toward the screen.

"Sea monster!" he yells just before going under. He swims and thrashes beneath the surface, splashing several movie goers in the process as he swims about, thwacking drive-in speaker boxes.

Moon Prince watches all of this going on. They are extremely interested in figuring out how humans like to spend their time. "A movie about something that scares you? Can we stay and watch?" They ask the other crewmembers.
However, it seems that one of the organizers of the event heard them. A woman with a neat looking outfit and a ticket-punch gadget arrives in a small dinghy. "Uhm, excuse me. I couldn't help hearing you'd like to stay for the movie? You'll have to pay the entrance fee then." She says, pointing to a sign stuck to the small boat which displays the price.
Moon Prince checks their pockets, which are of course empty. "Uhm... Well... You see..."

"Perhaps this sunken booty will suffice to assuage yon upset usher and secure our spot so we might espy the finale of this intricately plotted masterpiece of waterlogged cinema?" he says as he grabs a handful of rolls and tosses them at the ticket punching organizer.

"Oh, Amelie, you are covered in darts!" Moon Prince comments, now suddenly seeing the result of the attack. They put aside their drink and head over to help. "Here, let me help you get rid of them."
A bunch of ooh's and ahh's and whoops' can be heard while they try to get Amelie back in tip top shape. After a few minutes the result is that both Amelie and Moon Prince are cover in about half of the darts each. "Sorry Amelie, I don't know what I did wrong. These things are REALLY sticky!"

Viv wonders if she should tell Parish he's going the wrong way. Surely he would appreciate the help. But isn't it mutiny to countermand the captain's orders? Would Parish make her walk the plank? Does this ship even have a plank? And does it matter when she can swim and breathe underwater too?
Caught up in indecision, Viv simply says, "Aye, aye, captain," and helps ease the ship's passage again.

Amelie exclaims, "A ball. What potentially wholesome fun."
She uses her vacuum arm to reel it in, and her sponge arm to make it shiny.
"There, clean as a whistle," the maid-bot says of the now-faceless ball. "Cleaner, in fact. Whistles can never be germ- or odor-free after use. The only way to truly clean a whistle is to melt it down and start over."

They take the ball from the robot maid and turn in around, looking at every angle. "Wow! I reminds me of my home." They smile. "But it's so well made! Those lines just seem to work together perfectly. Who created such an engineering marvel?" They ask nobody in particular.
"I wonder if it has a moon bounce!" They say as they chuck the ball at the ground. Unfortunately, it hits a ledge and bounces off the side of the boat again. "Oh no! Quickly, Parish, Sail that way!" Moon Prince points south.

As the bright, freshly whitened ball careens overboard, Parish turns the wheel hard to follow the ball South. But the prow of the boat surges water forward and pushes the ball forward as well. Unwilling to let the ball elude him, Parish grabs a BBQ fork and throws it at the ball like a harpoon, heedless of the danger of popping it!

You set sail after the volleyball, but a strong current quickly carries it away and out of reach. Perhaps you'll find it again...For now, though, you can see the B&B rising up in the distance ahead of you again. And between you and your home, an enigmatic obelisk looms large--the Ptisilith, last seen rocketing off into the sky in pursuit of fireflies! The strange rock seems inert, the runes adorning its surface dim, the hum it emits even lower than usual. Maybe it is sleeping. Or waiting...

"Stone overboard!" Parish calls out. He rushes to the gunwale and leans out to grab the Ptisilith in the hopes of hauling it on the ship. However, the wet rock is heavier than he expects. He strains and grunts but fails to find purchase on the slippery surface. The Ptisilith falls back in the water and Parish loses his balance, falling in next to it with a splash.

Moon Prince doesn't seem very worried about Parish falling overboard. They bring their fingers to their mouth and produce a whistle. The Ptisilith moves slowly to the right, enough for Parish to be able to grab hold. Then they whistle again, a different tone this time and the large rock hovers upwards out of the water.
"I've noticed that a guak note makes the Ptisilith move to the side. And a fulian note makes it go up." They tell the group. Noticing the puzzled expressions, they add "Oh. Sorry. I think you know them as E-flat and B." They giggle.
The Ptisilith hums a low B as it hovers besides the boat.

"Hrm. Most unfortunately, I only packed dry foods for our journey. I'd expected the sea's bounty to provide the fresh meat necessary to power the crew as we sailed into the unknown."
Parish looks at Viv and her fishing line cast over the gunwales. Then he looks at the angle of the sun and the ripple of the wind over the top of the water.
"Patience in fishing is the most valuable tool in the tacklebox. Let us continue our voyage to the south. Perhaps there we might find, below the waves, a more favorable sea floor topology for any fish that seek a delectable meal."

"Are we returning to the B&B? I... am planning to surprise the owner, who's name I definitely dont remember, with a Swedish dinner. Yeah, that's it. Mehehehe!" the soggy skeleton cackles in wicked delight.

"Aye, aye, captain," Viv says, steering the ship to the south.
After traveling for a bit, the Lady of the Lake gasps as she gets a bite on her line. She eagerly reels in the catch, pulling out of the water a large catfish that had been out for a swim! "Hey! I got one! I got one!" she says excitedly.
She looks at the fish squirming on the line, though, and she frowns. "What should I do? Should I keep it? Should I toss it back? I... I'm not sure..."

"Let's eat it!" Moon Prince shouts loudly when they see Viv has caught a fish. They run towards the skeleton "Deck and Barge, you can cook us up something delicious, no?" and look at him with big moon-shaped eyes. Unfortunately, on the way there, they fail to see some of Viv's fishing equipment. With a combination of curse-words and knocking sounds they fall to the deck flat on their face.
A weakly said "I'm OK..." comes soon after.

Viv nods and hands the catfish over to the Skillet Skeleton. "Here you go. With luck, I'll be able to catch some more fish to feed everybody," she says with a hesitant smile.

"More fish, ye say? Perhaps what we need is a bigger fish to feed the hungry guests? Of course, bigger fish live in deeper waters."
Parish puts one webbed foot up on the edge of the boat and pulls his hat down low, a far off look settling over his face.
"What seems now another lifetime, I was captain of a fishing boat that had been tracking a majestic white carp across the waves. The crafty koi kept giving us the slip. He almost sank the boat but we narrowly escaped. The one that got away. His name - Toby Rick."
Let's head east!

"Aye, aye, captain," Viv says as she steers the ship east. As you approach the edge of Veilridge, a familiar sight looms in the distance ahead. It's the train station! Huzzah!

Moon Prince dusts themselves off after falling and put their glasses back the way they're supposed to be. "Uhm.. I think the kitchen in this way, Mr. Barge."
"Ah. Great!" The skeleton says, walking to the make-shift kitchen inside the boat.
"I'll make a beautiful dish with it. I even have this package of French seasoning that goes great with it! It's called 'Rat Poison'" He uses a French accent for that last part, making it sound fancy.
From somewhere inside the skeleton's vest something echo's the word "Rats!". Rag and Bones quickly talks over it before Ratto gives anything away. "You know, 'poison' means fish in French! And Rat is a well respected brand."
As he walks inside and closes the door a weird eerie laugh can be heard from the kitchen.
"Wow, we're so lucky to have found him in the water!" Moon Prince says to the others, smiling. "Hey what's that over there?"

As the ship glides up to the train station, its gentle wake ripples over the tracks and makes the metal rails look like eels, writhing and dancing in the glimmering waves.
Parish calls for the boat to dock and prepare to take on passengers. From the shade falling against a wall of the station, an elegantly and thoroughly bundled older woman rolls forward in her old fashioned wheelchair.
"Finally! I've been waiting in this dreadful sun for hours to be taken to the Bed and Breakfast!" Lady Sheridan du Sang says, waving about a handkerchief with a crimson stain on it. "Could someone grab my luggage? And do be careful not to damage the tasty morsels inside."

Muckleby
Muckleby latches onto the side of the vessel and slowly climbs her way up. She makes a sound that sounds more like the sound a tar pit makes when a bubble bursts than actual talking. But somehow you get what she means. "Boat!" Is all she says as she comes aboard. As she gets closer, everyone can see bits and bobs floating around inside her jelly body.
OOC:

The recently arrived alraune Bud Woodruff clambers onto the deck of the boat, ambulating on their vines. "Whoa, sick boat, bros!" he says as he looks around. "You dudes heading out to catch some gnarly waves? I left my surfboard back home, but I can totes improvise! Let's go find some big ones and get some time in the green room! Shaka!"

As the boat fills with passengers and luggage, it bobs low in the water. Once finished loading, the crew cast off and the ship begins to sail away from the station.
On the deck, Lady Sherry scowls as she watches the station recede behind the ship. "What a sorry cruise this is. I recall my first sea voyage from the old country. I had a private cabin and the bloody marys were to die for! And now I'm forced to squeeze between cargo like vermin!" she says in complaint to whoever might be nearby.Parish senses that the passengers are growing restless and twirls the wheel dramatically to point the ship to the south. "Fear not, your vacation has just begun! Let us take a brief voyage while our illustrious chef prepares lunch and you shall all be back at Yazeba's, reposing while your cares slide away like wake around a prow!"
Let's head south!

Parish steers the ship to the south, leaving the train station behind. After traversing the waters for a while, another landmark rises up above the waves ahead. This time, you see a clothesline strung up between two tall buildings. Several bikini tops made of seashells, dried starfish, and other bits and bobs hang on the line.
Viv's eyes widen when sees all of the bikinis. "Those belong to mermaids! Which means... Oh! T-there are a bunch of topless mermaids nearby!" She blushes furiously and pulls the long sheets of her hair over her face to hide her embarrassment!

"Topless?!?!" Moon Prince says incredulously. "You mean like, they don't have a head?" They seem quite confused. "There are no mur maids on the moon. We're maid-less up there!" They walk to the edge of the ship to try and spot these headless people Viv was talking about. But there is no-one in sight. "I don't see anyone. With or without heads." They say sounding a bit relieved.
Not far off, Muckleby has somehow managed to grab hold of one of the bikini top's and is wearing it just below her bow-tie. "Pretty!" She calls out and she's not wrong. The colors do seem to match well and she's adjusted the shape of her jelly body to form somewhat of a bosom! Hopefully the mermaids won't miss it.

"Did you say headless mermaids? That would be quite the sight. It has been at least an age since I've had fresh seafood. Oh, topless - well that's even better. A good ceviche requires the freshest ingredients!" Lady du Sang says, a wolfish smile spreading on her thin lips. But then the sun strikes her pale skin through a gap in her coverings and she has to quickly fix her shawl. "This blasted sun! Ruining my vacation already! Bah!"
Parish looks away once he sees the mermaid brassieres, a blush spreading beneath the green skin on his cheeks. But then he notices Muckleby's new look - and supporting form - and blushes an even deeper red.
"Steady on crew! Let's leave these... unburdened Tritonian maidens to enjoy their nautical endeavors in private." He keeps the boat headed south so they can be on their way fastest. "Full speed ahead, mateys!"
South again!

You continue on to the south. As you draw near the farthest reaches of Veilridge, another welcome sight rises above the water to greet you. It's the grocer's! The itinerant staff of the shop have helpfully transferred their wares to a series of canoes tethered to the roof of the shop. It's time to stock up.

"Got anything that goes well with a fish meal?" Moon Prince inquires as they browse the different canoes. "Ooh, maybe some of those!" They point to a basket of avocados. "I don't know what they are, but I'd like to try one!"
The shopkeeper nods, eager to sell anything to anyone and Moon Prince grabs one to try a bite. Unfortunately that doesn't work out the way they thought. Half the contents of the avocado squishes out of the side onto Moon Prince's clothes, the avocado peel tastes horrible and just as they get to the good part, a huge seed spoils the fun. They drop it, tongue hanging out of their mouth. "Yuck! What terrible fruit!" They say as some of the guests around them point, laugh and/or snicker at Moon Prince's misfortune.
"Parish, what is this thing anyway?" They ask.

Once the skin and seed are removed you can use it in a whole kitchen's worth of recipes! I make holy guacamole and frog-fried avocado tacos with them," Parish exclaims with a chuckle.
He dons his monocle and examines the bill of lading from the grocers to compare it with the goods tied down in the canoes. "Now to ensure we've received all that we need.

Parish steers the ship west, hoping to find another landmark to guide the way. And, as luck would have it, you soon draw near another familiar sight: the top half of the fiberglass mascot at Dino Donuts protrudes from the water, proudly holding its giant donut aloft!

As the boat sails toward the dino mascot rising out of the water like a sea monster, Parish calls out directions for the crew to sail by without running aground on the submerged shop.
He espies a colorful box perched atop the dinosaur's head and leaps onto the fiberglass creature's back. Looking a bit less spry than he was intending, the frog recovers the box and returns to the ship.
"The last dozen donuts are ours! Help yourselves - sailing is hungry work! There are coastal cruellers, beachy bearclaws, and several deep-sea delights!" he exclaims, still breathing hard from the extertion.Lady du Sang pulls out a thermos from within the folds of her dress and pours out a cup of deep red tea.
"Would anyone like to try some tea as well? It is an old family recipe. The name roughly translates to tea of life. It is quite revivifying," she says with a hungry smile.

From inside the ship's kitchen, Rag and Bones calls out "Yes, that sweet tea would go well with my 'poisson' sauce!"
Moon Prince, seeing the ferrous liquid drip from the kettle into Lady du Sang's cup, realizes that this tea is not something they would want is the chef's dish. "Me first!" they say as they snatch the tea pot from the vampire's hands. Then they stand by the edge of the boat and pretend to drink it all while actually pouring it next to their face into the water.
"Delicious!" They proclaim afterwards, handig the pot back. "Oh, I'm sorry, there's nothing left. How silly of me.""Let's go that way, Captain!" They point north.

Forged from orichalcum by the legendary blacksmiths of the fire swamps. Set with the jewel of the stormlord that can... Just a moment... Hrmph.

"Eep!" Viv squeaks as the angry geese come a-honkin'. Her first instinct is to cower in the corner of the ship and hide behind her hair, but when Parish starts looking for his missing sword, the one-time Lady of the Lake knows what to do. She dives smoothly into the water with nary a splash.
A short time later, Viv resurfaces, holding aloft a gleaming silver blade. "Here you are, Parish! It may not be the sword you're looking for, but it's the sword you need right now. You'd be surprised how many people just toss their weapons into random bodies of water."

Moon Prince looks at what's going on wide-eyed. The furious honking combined with Parish's description and Viv's immaculate sword has left them gobsmacked. Blood rushes from their head down to their feet, leaving behind a light-headed mess of a person. The feeling makes Moon Prince dizzy and their natural reaction is to lean back and drift slowly to the moon's surface so the blood can reconfigure itself accordingly.
But of course they are not actually on the moon right now. With a smack they hit their head on the boat's floor. "Ouch!" At least it has a similar effect, the sting of a brewing bruise resets their system enough to think logically again. As the geese start a dive-bomb maneuver, Moon Prince thinks quick and rolls out of the way. "Duck for cover!" They yell.
Over on the back of the ship, just barely in Viv's vision and stuck to the side like a pile of glue is Muckleby. A new object is glinting from inside her gelatinous body. The bikini she was wearing earlier has been completely absorbed, and is now wrapped around a large golden-yellow orichalcum blade. "Sword!" She says happily.

Parish grabs onto a rope of the ship and uses it to swing out and grab the offered sword from Viv. "You are a true gem, Lady Viv! These foul fowl will not deter us from our task!" he says, landing back on the deck, ready to fight the flock.
"These are geese, not ducks, my good Prince! But fear not, I shall avenge thee!" he exhorts as his muscle memory takes over and he swings Viv's silver blade in broad slashes against the rampaging gaggle of beaked death. (He had not looked at Moon Prince and assumed their fall was due to goose violence.)

"Hey! No! Stop that! You'll ruin my plan!" The geese give no heed to the objections and start pecking away at the fish greedily. "Stupid birds!" Rag and Bones continues while waving his other arm franticly. "How will I be able to get Yazeba's spellbook if you eat her poison?!?" He says aloud, without thinking about who could be overhearing.
In the midst of all this flapping and flailing, Rag and Bones' disguise mustache falls and is swiftly picked up by one of the angry geese who suddenly looks much more dignified.

"What was that, Chef? I can't hear a thing over all thia dreadful honking" Lady du Sang says with a look of disdain on her face.
Once the geese start keeling over dead, a smile spreads across her wrinkled visage. "Ah, much better. Horrid creatures! Can you believe some people eat them? I prefer something red and dripping myself," she says with a soft cackle."All this talk of food makes me hungry. Make for the Bed and Breakfast, Captain! Post haste!"

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.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.

Parish will spend 2 tokens toward getting the van attached.Oct 23, 2025 9:15 am
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).Oct 24, 2025 2:33 pm
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.
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!"
