FORMAT: Whatever.



[This is a vast Gottala, a sleek and synchronized structure that values symmetry. All its streets are well-paved and well-lit, all its buildings are a beautiful, clean marble that harken to the perfection of a mausoleum --

Wait a moment.

Oh my god.

Those ARE mausoleums.

This is a graveyard ship.

And suddenly the tranquil air thickens into a sinister soup when you realize that the few people sloshing past you are CONDEMNED CRIMINALS infected with NASTY DISEASES who are sentenced to live out the rest of their hateful days tending to DECAYING CORPSES.

And oh, you soon learn, these condemned criminals sent here to serve the dead until they die? They're literally meant to die.

There is NO FOOD and NO WATER on Gottala Daumadaal.

Everyone sentenced here is prone to cannibalism.]

[Outside a mausoleums Sofia feels the chill as ghost brushes against her. She wasn't scared of ghost stories but this place felt angry. She tries to use the wind as a barrier between herself and the ghostly inhabitants of the ship.

Her lips were dry, and the more she thought about how thirsty she was, she craved liquid.]

There has to be water here somewhere.

[glowsferatu]

[ kanaya's wandering about, trying to find her purse. she knows she had it before. everything was in that purse, she'd prepared it just for times like these! that does her little good if the thing scampers off just when she needs it, when she's feeling thirsty herself. ...though not exactly for water, either. ]

We're surrounded by it entirely. You would think it would have the decency to be at least vaguely consumable. [ because the salt is only there to be rude, obviously. ]

[wind_dancer]

It is the first time, I've hated the sea. It feels like it is mocking us.

[She's glad for the company of another living person.]

[glowsferatu]

[ well, not strictly living. but close enough. ]

We probably have enough things mocking us without having to worry about that. I might have had some if I could only find my purse.

[wind_dancer]

What does your purse look like? If it is going to help us, I'll help you look.

[glowsferatu]

It's, well, it's big and green and a bit ugly, but I couldn't find anything more presentable that still fulfilled the function I needed. It's dyed leather and I embroidered my sign into it.

I was carrying it before appearing here, when suddenly I wasn't.

[wind_dancer]

I wonder [Sofia pauses as she starts to scourer around for it,] if it's like the other world, and we haven't been able to carry useful things.

[That could also mean there were skrulls somewhere here.]

[glowsferatu]

Which other world was that? [ she's heard very limited details about metricog, but there was one thing, come to think of it. ] Really, I think I'd prefer the overgrown sharks to the alternative we've been given here.

[ she's got no illusions that the seadragon could have swallowed the whole boat if it were so inclined. she's a little curious as to why it didn't. ]

[wind_dancer]

The Metricog. I ran into one of the skrulls there. I really hope they aren't behind this ship.

[glowsferatu]

[ she looks a little iffy once skrulls are mentioned. she hadn't had too terrible an experience with them at the end in times square, at least she thought she might understand them. but it all comes down to vulcanus, doesn't it? ]

I'm not sure that anyone's behind this ship. I haven't seen anything living aside from us.

[wind_dancer]

[Sofia's see them in the city and at home. They are inescapable.]

Someone brought us here.

[glowsferatu]

But why would it have been the skrulls? Do they even have that capability?

[wind_dancer]

I don't know if they have the capability, but if they went to the last world too, there is a chance they could be here.

[glowsferatu]

Perhaps, but coming here and bringing us would be separate matters entirely. They would only risk intervention by doing the second, wouldn't they?
