They can sleep.

She moves her bed into a defense position relative to the others.

She curls up with Xeyr.

 

They sleep.

Permalink

Nothing of much interest happens during the night.

A while after sunrise, someone knocks on their door and calls out, "Breakfast'll be served soon! And we're shipping off soon too!"

Permalink

"Thank you."

They will get up and come to breakfast. Do they need to do anything for the second of those?

Permalink

Nope. Breakfast is much the same as dinner. A few officers, a few crew, and meat-light but decently hearty meals.

The captain who negotiated with them is there. 

"Good to see you three settling in. The scanner is a nice piece of kit, it'll be useful. About your gold - I think I'll give you half now and half when you depart. Sound fair?"

Permalink

Does he dress like an officer?

"Yes, thank you."

Permalink

The captain does dress like an officer. He's also slightly more guarded around the three of them than even the other officers.

"I'll go get it now, then. Get that out of the way. And then I'm sure we'll have you at a nice big town in a day or two."

He marches off.

He comes back with a small pouch of thirty dime-sized gold coins.

Permalink

Not surprising.

She counts them, lets Jewel have them for a moment to better check authenticity, then puts the money away.

Permalink

"Thank you."

Permalink

"I'm glad we can all get what we want out of this encounter. Hopefully everything from now will run smoothly, yes? Good day to you."

The Captain heads up to the bridge with that.

Permalink

"Of course. And to you."

Permalink

 

The ship's crew get to work, though a few are resting at any given time. Nothing particularly exciting happens. Lunch is served, eventually.

Permalink

Can they go out to the observation deck?

Permalink

Grumble grumble fine if they get escorted to and from, so they don't go wandering the halls of engineering areas or anything.

Permalink

"Thank you. We won't." (They don't want to be trouble, but they do want to look around.)

Permalink

Well then they can get shown up to the observation deck. It's chilly. Nice view, though. Islands are fairly thick at this altitude, though most are small and uninhabited. The ship is sailing in a straight line.

Permalink

She wants to look at everything!

Permalink

Approximate travel speed? Can she see what any of the crew are doing on other decks and such?

Permalink

She looks around and at passing islands, especially inhabited ones. 

Permalink

They're going at nearly highway speed. The wind is strong enough to be dangerous and loud if they go to the edge. Passing inhabited islands appear to be mostly farms or small farming settlements of various kinds. Many of them fly flags with a strange code of colors and symbols. The crew are mostly inside the ship. There is one lookout visible in a crow's nest sort of place, however.

Permalink

Wind is fun! She'll stay away from dangerous wind though.

Permalink

She keeps looking around.

Permalink

 

Eventually, there is a whole floating city visible through the clouds. The ship is heading for it. Dozens of islands tightly lashed together, covered in buildings. Not much more detail is visible at this distance.

Permalink

Do their escorts want them back inside?
