It’s The End of the World as We Know It

[redlightgreenlight]

Who: Tiamat(Valdis), Clarke, The Captain and Skulduggery
What: The Beginning of the End Part 2
When: February
Where: The Bridge at Dawn
Warnings: Potential violence



After all that, waiting until dawn seems like little consequence. But wait she does, though she can’t help but send a little taunt to a particular party before making her way up to the bridge. The sun rises just over the edge of the water, the stars beginning to fade from view. She can sense Clarke not far behind, and the Skeleton must be here somewhere, though maybe they will get lucky and he’s elsewhere. Tiamat leans against the railing to look out over the realm a scared little child created, musing over the various outcomes of what is about to happen. Even if the Captain knows who she is, he’d entertained her before, there’s no reason to suspect he won’t now.

“Oh, Captain,” she says, still watching the sun come up. “Care to watch the sunrise with me?”

Generally speaking, those all in black are the bad guys. Present company included. But it remains to be seen what variety these are.

Be prepared to hide should things take a turn for the worse.

Our team wears lots of black but we're not bad guys.

I know how to fight too.

[makesomedeals]

Comparatively speaking, I suppose not.

We're not sure if whatever answers that distress call is something we can fight with conventional means. But think of it as the element of surprise rather than hiding. You can jump out at them if they try and board the ship.

[sabigoe]

I guess we'll have to wait for their captain to come outside then. If they're bad guys trying to hurt everyone, I'll jump out at them!

[makesomedeals]

They'll probably do a parlay between captains, which will hopefully diffuse tensions. There's always a slim chance this might be a good thing, perhaps they'll be friendly.

I'm just not sure what they're waiting for.

[sabigoe]

What's a parlay? Is that a negos negotiation? [ Whew, difficult word to type. She just learned it from Ava's texts too. ]

Maybe they're waiting for someone from our side to come up to them first. I don't know. Doing that is really risky. [ Completely unaware that Nimona may have just done that... ]

[makesomedeals]

It's a nautical term for captains of ships, but yes, basically a negotiation.

Perhaps. Maybe someone should take one of the smaller boats and row out there. Though we could just wait it out, if they want to speak to us they'll have to come over here eventually. We clearly don't have canons on this vessel.
