USERNAME: #B91600 SUBJECT: Constructing a Boat

[heartsteals]

To my friends in Chroma:

It has been a long time since I last wrote anything here; for those who may not remember or know me my name is Lupin, your former Town Heartthrob and longtime Resident of the town. It is precisely because I have been here for such an extended period of time that I wish to pursue a new Strategy for our Escape. To some of you I have spoken of it already: I plan on sailing out onto the water in search of another shore. The problem keeping me from doing so was the lack of a Boat, until recently. I've made use of that peculiar notebook we've all been given in an attempt to give myself a Boat, but instead found all of the supplies necessary to craft one lying in a heap outside of my home.

[ if you live in Ruga and were wondering what that huge CRASH noise was about 10AM this morning... now you know. There is definitely a gigantic pile of (organized!) wood, stone, steel and rope sitting behind his and Akechi's house. It doesn't go well with the roses at all. ]

Of course this is not an undertaking I can complete alone, which is precisely why I am writing to you all. Monsieur Mikhail has confided in me that he knows how to build a Boat, so I expect he will be able to give us direction - all that is required now is Time and Muscle. If any of you would be willing to assist in the construction of this craft, I cordially invite you to join in. It may be our way out, after all.

Further comments are welcome of course. Enjoy your evening and be careful!

Your friend and confidant,
Lupin

[ Considering the last time they were on a boat together... ]

Oh, Mikhail is helping you?

[ HE'S MAKING FRIENDS. SHE'S SO PROUD OF HIM. ]

I'll gladly help, too.

[heartsteals]

[ HE'LL DO BETTER THIS TIME!! ]

Yes; I asked him to, and he agreed. It was some time ago, however, so I can only hope he's still willing. Your help is of course appreciated. Are you all right when it comes to heavy lifting, mademoiselle?

Cruise
Ship

just throwing out sexier alternatives to "Boat"

[is he serious? sadly yes.]

[heartsteals]

Duly noted, my friend. However, I regret to tell you that this ship is going to be more Substance than Style, no matter how we refer to it.

For the record, I should like to name it after my dear friend Minato, and while he was a charming man "sexy" is not among the words I would choose personally to describe him.

[ she doesn't know how to do the fancy e so deal ]

Good evening, Arsene. This is Blue Saber. I would be pleased to assist you if you are still in need of hands.
Incidentally, have you spent much time out at sea?

[heartsteals]

[ BLASPHEMY... ]

It feels terribly cold to simply refer to you as a different color of Saber! You're a fine lady all your own, are you not? You truly have no name you're willing to offer?

As for your question - yes and no - I have been on many ships but more often as a passenger or sometimes a stowaway depending on the Occasion.

I can help with labor, if you find someone to lead the construction.

[heartsteals]

Thank you, my friend; it is my belief that Mikhail shall assist, or perhaps Ms. Shiho, according to her friend there. You will not be lacking in direction.

i can be the muscle! and if there's no wind, i can definitely help the boat move too!

oh and you should talk to wei wuxian too! he tried sailing once so you two can trade tips about this! and shiho can help too! she apprenticed under a master ship builder before!

[heartsteals]

A sterling recommendation you've given! [ sailing once... he has to laugh. ] Is there anything Ms. Shiho can't do! Consider me impressed and grateful to have such a talented young lady amongst us.

[satanslash]

are you sure thats a good idea?

what about the island with all the sirens on it?

[heartsteals]

Rest assured I will be sure to take proper precautions when we set sail - I am fully aware it will be dangerous and will make no claims to the contrary. Still: my heart grows restless after these 15 months without progress. I believe it's time to start taking risks.

I can help, Town Heartthrob.

[He brought this on himself.]

[heartsteals]

Your assistance is appreciated, Junior Heartthrob.

[ HE WAS READY FOR IT ]

Greetings, Lupin. I am Archer.
I would be happy to provide the manpower necessary in finishing the boat.
Moreover, I have some experience as a sailor.
If you have need of further help once the construction is done, then I shall also be willing to assist you.

[heartsteals]

My friend Archer - of course I recall you! I hope that you are well. And I may call upon you for both your boatbuilding and sailing skills, for I have been passenger on many a ship but rarely a captain.

[unghost]

That Mikhail guy can actually do something useful?
Surprising

[heartsteals]

I see your tongue is as sharp as ever even in ink, my fairest prize. Dare I ask what he did to earn your distaste?

[parakalein]

Sure, I don't mind helping with the boat. How big is it going to be?

[heartsteals]

Large enough to carry Ten or Fifteen at most, I believe. This shall be an exploratory voyage; should we find success we can return and gather the rest of our friends if need be.

[sirnyxalot]

I was going to warn about the sirens but I’m definitely not the only one to come away from that week with scars.

[Nyx, your near death experience is the reason Rin has those scars!]

I can say pretty confidently that they won’t be the worst thing you find out there. Are you planning on taking company?

[heartsteals]

Of course; it would be certain death to sail out into unknown waters alone, and all the more so in this town with its monsters and devilry. The size of the crew I will determine once the boat itself is finished, but I am expecting a small group of Ten or Fifteen perhaps.

[nascere]

maybe you'll need something like a small ship. i can help with the boats.

[heartsteals]

A matter of semantics, there - I am making a Ship if you would prefer to call it that, one that can carry a small handful of us, but certainly a lifeboat would be required as well.
