You sleep in far too late, but no one wakes you. After the raid, you've earned a rest.
When you are ready, the day will end and we will time elapse to Reptil.

"It looks like a hoof. Did it come from da same place as da horn?"
>>390546
She sets to work with her mouth and horn, preening them for you and massaging them pleasantly.

He's in his cabin, according to hearsay.

"Just working…" he remarks absently, "For your request, I might add. It's slow going research, but work is work. What's the matter?"
>>390568
You float her up and she tosses you a rope. You can't levitate yourself.

>>390573
He levitates you up and onto his desk.
"Sorry, my attention is divided. It is good to see you, schoolfilly."
>>390574
Word has it that she isn't on the Darklantern. That leaves four more ships. Where could she be?

"Well… that certainly is interesting to know. She may be too shy to convey her feelings in public. I can only imagine how deeply ingrained that frustration must be…"
I smile a furl my wings again when she finishes
"Thank you, miss Rosemary. You are a life savior."

You blast through with your wings and blow all the dust away. Nice work.
"Good. You work quick. Huh. You want a transfer? Speed. That's something I could use on this ship."
>>390580
You eliminate the Eagle's Roost and Sirocco right away through hearsay. That leaves the Seaworthy and Pillager's Fancy.

"In a little while. Work on your patience. I'm in the middle of an experiment. I promise we can work later, alright?"

Your search leads you to Fullmaster Abilio's cabin. You wonder what she could possibly want from him.
>>390587
Asking around turns up information that Curry was looking for her. This information helps you quickly narrow down your options a little faster, eliminating the Darklantern (for obvious reasons) and the two ships to your left, the Sirocco and Eagle's Roost.
>>390586
He scrunches. "Looks like a bullet. Have Ruxiang or Blue Topaz look at it."
>>390585
"The Circle of Life?"
You're skill capped right now, but feel free to chat.
>>390588
You swab some decks and salute the boatswain. You even kiss the gunner's daughter and let the cat out of the bag!
>>390583
He can't see you smiling, obviously. His soul is on the immortal plane.

Emrille opens the door and passes you.
Fullmaster Abilio appears to be in the cabin alone. He scrunches a little when you arrive.
"Ah. Mister Curry."
>>390595
You pass Curry on your way out, and find Blue Topaz's cabin on the Darklantern.

Rumor has it that Curry headed off for the Pillager's Fancy.

It's a pretty good life. When you're not being shot at, there's something awfully serene about your freedom. No one would stop you if you wanted to leave. Or you could sail as much as you like. There are no arbitrary laws here. Just gold and chain of command. Simple.

"Ah, very well then. I'm a bit in the middle of something…"
>>390599
Seems he's gone off to the Fullmaster's cabin.

"Yes. There is quite a bit to it in terms of tradition and explanation, but it boils down to that."

"Alright, alright, come in."

"My apologies for interrupting, then. I was just looking for my sister, as I said. And this was where she was last seen heading. Naturally I'm concerned for her wellbeing, as pirate ships are inherently dangerous to just about anyone. Especially if they aren't pirates themselves."
I'll walk inside and shut the door.
"She wouldn't happen to still be here, Fullmaster?"

You can understand my desire to know exactly what is going on here. And I'm afraid my patience and good faith is beginning to wear thin. If my sister is fine and well, then there shouldn't be a reason for you to hide the nature of your experiment."

The room is dark. The dark woods are complimented with lead reinforcements and black paint. The walls seem to absorb light, and though the room is strewn with candles, it doesn't do much to fight off the darkness. This is isn't your average darkness, it's advanced darkness. However… this isn't an unusual trait. Most of the rooms on the Darklantern are like this.
The cabin has been simplified somewhat since the previous commodore's reign. There aren't trophies on the walls anymore. Smitts has expanded the one desk to three, and there are doors to his sleeping quarters in the corner. His polearm adorns the wall. There are no personal effects except a few different plants in pots across the room. Notable among them is a dead flower in a vase on his tri-desk.
