[whocouldever]

I don't mind relaxing around here, don't get me wrong- it's plenty of good company. But you did have a bit of an idea, didn't you? I don't know much about this 'barge', but if you think it's a good fit, then I say go for it.

Unless you can come up with somewhere more ... grounded. Wouldn't mind that much, either.

Grounded? What defines grounded.

[whocouldever]

Well... On the ground. [???] If at all possible. I wouldn't mind the alternative, but going from ground level to tallest tower to ... space, just seems kind a big leap.

[She's not scared, don't get her wrong. But if she had a choice? Adventure on Earth might be just as fun.]

[failedreintegration]

I thought you were using the term in the mental sense, the incorpreal as it were.

[whocouldever]

Oh! Well, no. I don't mind if it's .. nonsensical. That's the fun bit.

[failedreintegration]

[Eyebrow raise. Slowly] How is something made of nonsense...fun?

[Andred gets this. Because of reasons. Quite a few of them. So even if she doesn't answer he will say nothing.]

[whocouldever]

How? It's- Well it's- [Hm.] Stress free. It's just fun, something you don't have to worry about so much. Something different, new. Adventurous.

[napoleonsgun]

A barge? In my experience, ship's no place for a lady to be.

[whocouldever]

I beg to differ, but you're opinion is your own. [HUFF]

It's more of a ... sky-ship, I believe.

[napoleonsgun]

I'm sure there are many who agree with me.

Like an air balloon? That I can't speak for.

[whocouldever]

A little more sophisticated than that, I believe. It's meant to travel up in the Heavens; Space. Sort of .. like an underwater vessel, but build for the sky.

[Sebastian just shakes his head. He's seen quite the surge in industry lately and all sorts of fancy new inventions.]

Will wonders ever cease. But I can't imagine the men will be any different.

[whocouldever]

Men are always different. Whether it's different to my preference or what you're used to. It's whether I care, and my reaction.

[makeitwork]

[...]

You're not going to find anything that's actually grounded.

[whocouldever]

I meant physically.

[She laughs, just a little. Her own fault for not being more specific.]

[makeitwork]

You don't even notice it.

[whocouldever]

No? What's it like?

[makeitwork]

It's a prison, what do you think it's like?

[whocouldever]

[F r o w n]

I didn't realize it was a prison ship. [...] Is everyone a prisoner? I thought...

[toldinthebook]

I'd stick with not getting to know it.

[whocouldever]

Why's that?

[She can see the appeal of wanting to help someone... And getting a wish out of it. The price was upfront, and while she may not really like magic, she could just wish for someone else, and still help an inmate out or ... She's not sure.]

[toldinthebook]

It's messed up. There's a lot that you're not told before you get stuck in.

[whocouldever]

[Oh. Hm-face, activate. Is it pushing towards being a deciding factor for her? Not really. Certainly not for the mun, but Belle...]

Such as?

[toldinthebook]

That everything's crazy. [ So unhelpful, Emma ] And that this Barge takes a lot of stops. Weird... changing stops.

[worsetodie]

You're better off seeking other pastures. I don't think the people in charge of this place play very fair, even with Wardens.

...Unless you mean to say you've been up to great mischief in my absence.

[whocouldever]

[She almost grins. Just a little. Mischief is so tempting sometimes.]

Are you implying I'd make a better inmate? [Only slightly uncomfortable with the notion.]

I think I'd prefer to help someone else, rather than have someone... Help me.
