video; Locked to Unseelie (FLYING SHIP)

[desperate_times]

[High in the sky, as usual, aboard the Black Pearl.]

Does it feel a little tense lately, or is it just me?

[She tries to avoid such feelings, but it's as though something is really looming now.]

If something happens and you get in a spot of trouble, send me a call and I can try and get you out. The Pearl is flying over the southern border right now, so if you're too far away, probably best to rely on yourself.

But know that I'm not going to risk this ship to save one person in a hornet's nest. It's too valuable for that.

[Just so they're clear.]

[ooc: Yes the Pearl flies! It's been sailing all over the place since September you guys XD;]

—you've got a flying ship?

[you

how did

aaaa this went over his head a little

pun intended.

this is possibly the most delighted the Brucolac has ever looked on the network, all nervously hopefuly; he seems young instead of just looking it.]

[She appears amused.]

Yes. I thought people knew that already.

[Chloe turns the locket so he gets a sweeping view of the deck. It's a charming old fashioned galleon crewed by animated skeletons.]

I could kiss you. She's beautiful.

Listen, may I inspect her? Not now, but when things are calmer. I swear no harm will come to her, you can watch my every move—all I want to know is how she flies.

[desperate_times]

[The ship is the one that's beautiful but Chloe could get kissed? Well, that's half acceptable.]

I can tell you how she flies. Fairy magic. The only thing you'll find here is a ship like any other.

If you let me investigate a little, I might find something more specific. Thaumaturgy has its workings like any other mechanism. It's native magic?

[Even better.]

locked, video;

[desperate_times]

It is, and I was there when this ship received its fairy magic. Trust me, mate, I know how it flies.

But you don't need an excuse to come aboard, if that's all you want.

locked, video;

[vrykolakas]

Then if you'll have me, I'll come aboard.

[He's not going to argue. She's got a godsdamn flying ship.]

[gandere]

You have a flying ship! [ Unlike others, she's kind of a bit peeved at this.

This can change everything. If she can't sign Chloe on for her plans in the future, then there would be competition and the last thing she really wants to do is disable a ship herself. That's just rude.

Maybe... she won't have to be hostile. Maybe there's another way? Straightening up, she tries to regain her composure. ]

You didn't make that from scratch, did you?

[desperate_times]

[Chloe's been sailing about the skies for months and all of a sudden people realize it! It's a weird day.]

No, I didn't make it from scratch.

[ She's kind of a loser who stays indoors so naturally she hasn't. ]

Oh, that's a relief. [ Only to her. Onllllly to her. ]

The monarchs gave it to you, didn't they? That High-Queen is going to get an earful the next time she has an audience.

[desperate_times]

[She lifts a brow.]

Oh? Why's that?

video; locked

[gandere]

Because from what I understand, ships that have been enchanted to fly don't last for very long without continuous upkeep. It's kind of a chore really, having to depend on others to make sure it runs.

[ See, she no longer feels threatened. ] As for my other remark, it's because I asked the monarchs and they sent me something that couldn't fly. In my agitation, I decided to research the matter on my own.

You're Unseelie, right?

[desperate_times]

[Chloe just looks amused by the whole thing.]

That's right. Chloe Frazer.

[She takes a seat on top of the rail.]

This ship flies with magic. I don't really have to do anything but steer, and only if I feel like it.

[So much for upkeep.]

'S always tense before a battle.

How's the air up there? I keep hearin' 'bout snowstorms.

video

[desperate_times]

No troubles so far.

Do you think it'll be bad? The battle, I mean.

[ziggyzoggy]

[Well THAT'S a loaded question. Skeptical eyebrow go!]

Ever seen a whole world drawn into a war?

[desperate_times]

No.

[And she wishes she didn't have to. Chloe sighs.]

I wish Jack were here. He'd say... [In her best Jack Sparrow voice:] Don't worry, luv. I got it all figured out, savvy?

... I can't believe I miss that idiot.

[ziggyzoggy]

[Well, that explains it. And nets her a little sympathy.]

Well...I guess it could be a whole lot worse. All the snow might help. Cool the fires some, yeah?

[desperate_times]

Sure, sure. Except when people can throw fire and snow around like you toss a pillow.

If I were back home and a war like this were knocking at my door, I'd pack up and move to the other end of the earth.

When it's the whole world at war... that's a lot harder to do.

I want a ride on it.

[ shijima isn't in danger, she's just...curious... ]

[desperate_times]

I ferry people all the time from one city to another or one fairy ring to another. For a small fee.

What about cats?

[ it's important. ]

Cats should travel for free.

Video

[desperate_times]

How many cats are we talking about?

Video

[liven]

One. A housecat. A well-behaved housecat.

[ when she wants something, anyway. ]

Video

[desperate_times]

[A wry smile.]

Well, one cat with a passenger is no trouble. It can travel for free.
