hadriel_logs | [closed] (loud screaming) BOAT PARTY

Who: Taako, Lup, Barry, Kravitz, Magnus, Lance, and Nate.
What: 7 assholes, two boats, heading into the ocean for the chance to look for some buckwild stuff.
Where: Out at sea!
When: The entirety of the voyage; August 13th-September 3rd.
Warnings: Idk PG-13 levels of shirtlessness, curse words, maybe somebody ends up overboard at some point. Should be cool.

This is a catch all for the boat party for this group! Make top-levels for threads within this time and go friggin' wild. For convenience, I've provided 3 toplevel headers as general timeline assistance; as far as events of the voyage go, it'll basically be:

Week One: (August 13th-19th) Leaving the city and traveling to the fragment!
Week Two: (August 20th-26th) Still traveling, picking up whatever they find somewhere in here, since it's about the middle.
Week Three: (August 27th- Sept 3rd) Traveling and arriving home!

Feel free not to use exact dates, I sure don't care, this is just to help figure out if things happened before other things, OTHERWISE GO WILD

[Don't worry, Lance. There's plenty of time to come to hate life the longer you are trapped on Idiot Boat.]

You interested in finding out with me? [Lance may peek over the railing, but Lup sits on it with her feet hanging overboard, bare toes touching the water. With how the boat tips from this way to that on the waves, it probably looks pretty dangerous.

But she's kinda into that.]

Cuz I could get us down there real quick.

[He's sure he'll get there quickly enough, but right now it's kind of fun to get to know people he's only talked to a little or doesn't know at all. Lance glances over at the suggestion, trying not to look vaguely horrified both at the idea and the tempting of fate by her sticking her feet in the water.]

I don't really swim unless I absolutely have to, and my only good defenses probably aren't great underwater.

[Neither a gun nor electricity magic would probably be the best options.]

But I definitely think you--general you--should find out what might be down there before you go diving for a fragment.

Fair. Taako an' I've been swimmin' our whole lives, so it's as easy as breathing for us. If you aren't as chill with it, can't blame you for wantin' to keep out of these waves. Most sane folks probably would.

[So like, everyone but her and her brother and Nathan Drake, naturally.

Lup doesn't know Lance very well, outside of Drake talking about him like he's a secret fanboy of the guy, but she has a feeling he'd get along well with Barry. Poor guy could use some more friends in this place. Maybe she'll shove them together to talk nerd shit later.]

No worries, doc. We will. Taako an' I will check it out before Nate gears up and just drops in. Make sure there's nothing just waiting to gobble him up.

Yeah, I mean, I can swim so no one's going to have to rescue me if I fall overboard or something, but I'm not the best for the dive team.

[He is, fortunately, not stupid enough to go on a boat when he can't swim, but yeah. For various reasons it isn't his favorite or more practiced activity, and he appreciates that Lup is understanding.

Lance offers a small grin at that last part.]

Good, because I think I'm still traumatized from the time I had to give him stitches for a shark bite.

[He's... Not actually at all traumatized by that, but still, he'd rather not have to repeat any of that nonsense. Although he does have a healing spell now, so maybe he wouldn't have to, but he'd rather not test it out.

Also, he's curious, because although she mentioned swimming often--]

Do you dive a lot?

[Shark bite, huh? Funny how Nate dragging the twins out to explore the old shark-infested lake was about a year ago. The woman's gaze lingers out there among the rolling waves, idly watching the unchanging scenery around them. It's a thought that's struck her a few times over the last few months. Just how long are they going to be stuck here in Hadriel? When some people are brought in and taken away within a few months, why have some of them been there for years and years?

And if the time comes to leave, will Lup really be alright with just leaving?

Lup's fingers tap against the boat's railing, her grin never faltering, no matter where her thoughts take her.]

Since coming to our own personal island? Hell yeah, what the hell else is there to do? I've done some pretty sweet dives right off of the bigger cliffs off of the western island. The super dangerous ones.

[She rolls her shoulders, turning her smile to Lance.] I figure if I fuck it up, I won't really be gone that long.

[Lance gives her a less impressed look in response, because badass wizard or not--]

Do I need to lecture you on why that isn't exactly the best attitude to have?

[Because sure, he's absolutely not in professional mode at the moment, but he doesn't have to be to pull out a lecture on how people shouldn't be reckless with their well-being just because they'll come back here.]

[Lup's already raising a hand and waving Lance's concerns away, like she's heard them a million times over.

Which. She probably has.]

Look, it's different for me. I don't exactly die. I'm a lich.

[FLAT LOOK INTENSIFIES, and he waits for some more elaboration on how exactly it's different enough that it doesn't count as being a terrible way to think about things.]

[W o w

He's pretty good at that.]

I'm like a ghostly specter comprised completely of magic, alright. If my physical body gets dunked on, I just rise out of it and continue living my best spooky life. No big.

[Looking judgemental and dubious is a talent of his.]

And is that spooky life just as good as your fleshy mortal life?

[He's going to guess no or she'd be running around like that all the time.]

[Don't at her Lance. She didn't come talk to you for free therapy!!!]

Mostly. I mean, I kinda prefer being able to touch an' eat an' bang my hubby, but I've been stuck in it long enough that I'm pretty used to it. 'Sides, all I have to do is go to ol' Hope and he'll whip me up a new body pronto.

The inconvenience level is pretty minor.
