"Turn into a cat, and I'll carry you to the ship. Sound good?"
Tyrcestus got up. "Chances are everyone's waiting on us."

Outside, Vizard and Gizzard plotted together, rubbing their hands in glee and chuckling as they swaggered down the hill behind the castle towards the dock where their ship could be seen. Clun followed, and Hexy looked at Sean. "You coming?"

"Sounds good, alright... lets set sail!" Steve said as he pointed to the ship

******

Beelzenef nodded as he smiled a toothy grin and said "Course me be safe, cause me want ask Zalia-love big question when he see her next."

Arisa looked at Steve and raised her brow slightly. "Are we missing anyone?" She looked around.

******

Zalia looked into Beelzenef's eyes and smiled slightly. "Then I will wait here in anticipation for your question, love."

Arisa raised her brow slightly, and tilted her head. "We should get to the ship, before it leaves without us." Arisa suggested, as she looked at Beelzenef, then to Steve, then an awkward glance to Leon.

Tyrcestus scooped Trinity up, and carried her outside, meeting the others.
Vizard and Gizzard raised their eyebrows at him. "And what have you two been doing?"
Tyrcestus blushed, but walked straight past them - the night had now set in, and midnight was only an hour away. "Come on, let's move it."

The ship in question had separate rooms for the females and the males, with a captain's room and a storage room as well as the main deck. Amidst the cries of Vizard calling top bunk, Tyrcestus placed Trinity on her bed. Her notably single bed.
Holding back a sigh, he smiled. "Any time you want to see me on the voyage, my room's just opposite yours."
Mandrate coughed, demanding Tyrcestus's attention.

The two stood next to the ship while everyone else boarded and made themselves at home.
"Tyrcestus, I will be honest - I do not expect any of your group to return alive."
"Greaaat."
"The forces in that prison possess greater power than your group combined. Force will not win you the day, thinking will. Remember that. Of course, force helps too. You will also have to heal everyone after the Cracks hit - you must learn to control your self-healing whilst on the trip. And remember - your powers can heal anything. Anything at all. Be careful. I have no wish to remain alive because my replacement is an idiot who gets himself trapped inside a demonic prison for the rest of his life."
Tyrcestus raised an eyebrow. "I'll miss you too."

Mandrate looked over to the right. A beautifully carved elven warship floated, ready to go at midnight.
"Board. And good luck. Gods know you'll need it."
And with that, he walked away.
Tyrcestus looked at his retreating back, sighed, then boarded himself. "How's everyone doing?" he inquired, wondering what drama he'd missed and who the new guy (Leon) was.

Mandrate called out to them as he left.
"Oh, I know it's possible to leave alive! I just don't think you will!"
And before any of them could retort he'd gone.

Tyrcestus raised an eyebrow at Leon's theatrics, though he had to admit the man had style.
"Pleasure to meet you Leon. I'm going to grab a bit of shut-eye. Wake me if there's trouble."
That said, he went to his bunk, and fell asleep instantly.

OOT: I'll post again if we want to get the ball rolling, just giving anyone a chance to get some last minute posts in

Arisa found herself a cabin, and walked inside, closing the door behind her. She rested the back of her head against the door, and sighed. "I messed up." She said to herself, then walked over to the bed, and fell on it.

I wave to the man whose name I still don't know as he goes off to sleep. He must be pretty tired if he forgot how an introduction works. Come to think of it, after everything that's happened today, I wouldn't mind some shuteye myself.
"Tomorrow...it's game on!"
I chuckle a little as I make my way towards my room. Well, I say "my room" but really I just wandered around for a while until I found one that was empty. I jump on top of the bed and start drifting off to sleep.

OOT: I say go for it, let's get this ball rolling.

The captain checked his watch, then unfurled the sails.
They caught the wind, and in an instant the ship lurched out of harbor. The quest had truly begun.

Tyrcestus felt Trinity underneath his arm, and stroked her, one eye open.
"Hey there, kitty. How're you doing?"

The captain looked back at the elven ship, that had made no attempt to set sail.
"Something's not right..."

The captain stared at the ship, scratching his head.
"Peculiar, very peculiar... I was told to expect they would have left... this reeks of trickery..."

The ship got further and further away from port until the elven vessel was the size of a toy. The captain strained his eyes, and saw soldiers run into it like ants, human ones.

Then a carrier pigeon flew over the boat and in it's claws it carried a very hastily penned message.
The captain opened it, scanned it, and swore so loudly it almost woke the whole ship.
"DAMN AND BLAST THESE POINTY-EARED WHORE-MONGERING CUD-CHEWING MANURE-CHUGGING BABY-MUNCHING TREE-FUCKING ARROGANT PRICKS!!!"

Arisa was fast asleep when she heard shooting from directly above her head. She sat up in the bed, with a 'deer in the headlights' expression on her face. "What is going on?" She groaned, as she got out of bed, and opened the door, walking out into the hallway.

Arisa tilted her head slightly, and raised her brow. "I'm not going to bite you." She said to Leon, as she walked towards him, then stopped beside him and whispered in his ear: "Or are you afraid I might kiss you again?"
