Unified Roleplay Round 3: Play

[Kitty]

Alergo sighs as the tension he had disolves, it seems discretion was the better part of valor in this case.

  "Well then, lets take course to Aberdeen"

"Yes, sir. I will make adjustments when the time for it comes" she says. And off to her post she goes, doing some math and whatnot. Find the shortest route to Aberdeen. She studied for this, she can figure it out.

Unaware of what Saga is saying, he states
  "We should probably very quickly stop off in the shetland isles, or John o'groats, to see if they have any news about Aberdeen, as they're on the east coast and thus a lot closer than I normally am."

"Do they have a radio?" Saga asks.

"Do they have a radio?" Saga asks.

Hearing Oliver talking and Saga responding Alergo asks

"is there something important I'm missing?"

Hearing Oliver talking and Saga responding Alergo asks

"He says we should ask about Aberdeen in John o Groats or Shetland, sir. I asked if they have a radio there, because I'm not sure we need to make a stop..."

[Fuzipeg]

Svenny gets up, wobbling all the way, and finds somewhere close, and comfortable to lay down. He doesn't care where, just somewhere he can recover.

[R.M.S.N.P]

"Do they have a radio?" Saga asks.

  "They do, but it'll be dodgy this close to the silent world. If you can get me close to the beach, I can jump and swim ashore, talk to them by shouting, then get back on board, all in a few minutes."

[Kitty]

  "They do, but it'll be dodgy this close to the silent world. If you can get me close to the beach, I can jump and swim ashore, talk to them by shouting, then get back on board, all in a few minutes."

And we don't have a Finnish mage to clear out the frequencies.

Of course.

Fighting the intense urge to whack Oliver with a rolled up map, she tells Alergo: "We'll be making a stop in John-o-Groats. Safest, closest, we can get some info Oliver wants there."

[R.M.S.N.P]

Early on the third morning of the voyage, Oliver stands on deck, calmly singing
'Ic Iarla nam Bratach Bàna
'Ic Iarla nam Bratach Bàna
'Ic Iarla nam Bratach Bàna
Chunna' mi do long air sàile
Hi 'illean beag hó ill ó ro
Hi 'illean beag hó ill ó ro
Hù hoireann ó hu ó éileadh

Chunna' mi do long air sàile
Chunna' mi do long air sàile
Chunna' mi do long air sàile
Bha stiùir òir 's dà chrann airgid
Hi 'illean beag hó ill ó ro
Hi 'illean beag hó ill ó ro
Hù hoireann ó hu ó éileadh

Bha stiùir òir 's da chrann airgid
'S cupaill de shìoda na Gaillmhinn

'S cupaill de shìoda na Gaillmhinn
Sìoda reamhar ruadh na Spàinne

Sìoda reamhar ruadh na Spàinne
Cha b'ann an Glaschu a bha e

Cha b'ann an Glaschu a bha e
No 'n Dùn-Bheagan, 's beag o'n làr e

No 'n Dùn-Bheagan, 's beag o'n làr e
No 'n Dùn-Tuilm nam bratach bàna!

As the song comes to a close, he brings out a compass and aligns the zero on the wheel with the needle, giving him an angle between the sun and north. Using this angle to work out the time, he goes below to his cabin, returning with a box. As he opens the box, the magical sedation upon it's inhabitant is lifted, and a slightly dishevelled barn owl flies up onto his outsteched left arm, eating the meat proffered with the right.

  "Right then, Baldrick, let's see how well the norse have steered us"

He launches the bird southward, and it flies off with gradually increasing grace till it passes out of sight entirely.

About two hours later, when the rest of the crew are up and about, Oliver is about to talk to Saga in the bridge when he hears a rapping on the porthole, coming from Baldick pecking at the window, a leather pouch in his beak.

[Róisín]

I am an interested spectator rather than a participant in the game, but I am delighted to see that mouth music gets a mention! The only piece of such that I can really do justice to is ‘Rince Fada’, but I love the genre.

[Ragnarok]

Harald has spent the past couple days working, making coffee that is terrifyingly potent, and generally being disturbingly quiet, both in the verbal and the 'how the hel did you sneak up on me' sense.

[Solokov]

This morning Leo is standing watch atop the deck and, upon hearing a tapping noise steals up in the general direction of the owl, and porthole it's tapping on.

He arches an eyebrow and just gives it a look, as if to ask, 'Are you lost?'

[Kitty]

Saga has been awake for a bit longer than she reasonably should have. She stares at the bird warily, not completely sure if Oliver did indeed just bring a godsdamned bird of prey to a ship with a kitten. And a cat. Honestly, it was large enough for both.
Or maybe she's hallucinating from lack of sleep.
Wouldn't be the first time.
Maybe she should go and take a nap. The ship is on course, and she isn't in college anymore.
Yes.
Data was consistently matching up both before the bird and after she overclocked.
She just gets up and heads out towards her cabin.

Oliver opens the door, allows the owl to hop onto his outstretched wrist, closes the door and takes the pouch, putting it in his pocket, and returning his hand with a piece of meat that the owl eats happily.


Affectionate gaelic baby talk to the owl

To Saga he says;
  "Before you go to bed, would you like to meet Baldrick?"

Pointing at Saga, he says to the owl "Look, a new friend!"
