Timestamp: Spring 57, 509 Location: The Kelp Bar Who: Chevis and Crismento Miren Chevis was way out of his normal waters. He had gotten that itch that had plagued him for years to get out of the Suvan, only to get the itch to return. He didn't even let his pod know he was traveling, just disappeared suddenly, just like he would reappear in the same manner. Most wouldn't care, save Citrine, who would likely throw a huge fit that he didn't bring her. But he would deal with that whirlpool when he got to it. For now he needed to focus on steering his ship threw Mathews Bay. He sat at the back of the Bongodier the rudder lever in on hand, the rope to his sail in the other. The wind favored him today, driving him toward the port city of Zeltiva. As he neared, he saw the massive hustle and bustle of huge amounts of ships. He looked over the side and saw the reptilian head of Tiana pop out. "Ok this will be tricky Ti, so dive deep, and guard our home when I park her. I'll bring you some tasty snacks when I get back." Her eyes showed understanding, as she dove under the surf so she wouldn't get hit by the ships. Chevis looked carefully ahead of him, these ships were constantly crossing paths with one another without crashing. Chevis smiled. This would be fun, he wondered if he could cause some trouble. He planned his route, and shifted his sail for maximum speed. The wind seemed to be favoring his plan of mischief. He shifted his rudder to carry the Bongodier toward a large sloop. He adjusted his sails accordingly, and his casinor was nearing the front of the sloop. Getting his timing just right, he quickly shifted the sails and rudder, so the Bongodier passed across the sloop's path. The sailors on the sloop panicked and threw into a hard turn. Chevis then put the Bongodier towards the next nearest ship, a small fishing boat. He could feel the currents fighting the rudder, but the wind steered him true. Once more his nimble cut off the fishing boat. He did this until he managed to cause a massive traffic jam out in the port. Technically he did nothing wrong, since none crashed, but he liked making life difficult for these people. He docked the Bongodier, and hopped onto the dock. A quick query lead him to standing in front of the run down shack that is The Kelp Bar. He pushed his way into the loud, patron filled tavern and sat upon a rickety stool. He ordered the infamous kelp beer and paid the bartender. He looked at the dark green liquid and smiled. Nothing like a good stiff drink. Despite it's offputting color he had to follow the rule the twins from his pod had. When in doubt, relax your throat and ignore the saltiness. Chevis strongly suspected that saying had nothing to do with Kelp Beer but it would come in handy now. He took a long swig of the foul brew. Very strong foul brew. A few of these and Chevis would be lost at sea so to speak. He looked around the bar, trying to find something of interest. |
