Staten Island Ferry, Elvish Style! [Video/Action ]

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Curufin and Margaery Tyrell set sail from the bay of North Island, the same day as he puts the finishing touches on the boat. It is clinker-built (also called lapstrake), which makes the hull flexible, good for sailing turbulent waters. It has a single square-sail (sewn by Margaery), though it also has rowlocks and oars, in the unlikely event of the winds dying. It looks something like this.

It can be crewed by two people, but more would be nice! Give Margaery and Curufin a holler if you want them to come pick you up! Either because you want to come along for the ride and learn something about sailing, or because you need to be ferried to a different island than the one you're on. They'll take you wherever you want to go. Also, call if you want something picked up and delivered to you, or if you just want the sailors to come and visit you. ]

Hello, Hadriel! The ferry's in service.

[ OOC: Either or both Margaery or Curufin will answer! But you can also request one or the other. ]

I see it does! And no holes in it, so far either. Well done, Curvo! And perhaps you should, but I trust you will be a little more creative than Tyelko was apt to be.

[ If you name the boat 'Boat', Curufin... ]

Not a single hole!

Oh, you're thinking of that time Tyelko tried to give his horse the name Horse?

[ Oh, he wasn't going to name the boat Boat, of course not! He was going to name it Ship! XD ]

I am. And poor Huan, spending all of eternity named "Hound"!

[ he laughs

No. No calling it Ship! ]

[so_dark_a_road]

Right. Tyelko should have called him Doggie!

[ Margaery, HAAAAALP!!!! Supply a name for the boat, QUICK!!! Or heaven only knows what your shipmate might come up with! ]

[bythewaves]

You would subject someone we were almost certain was actually a maia to being called Doggie for all eternity?

Hey, it could have been worse. It could have been Pooch. Or Fluffy.

Really? How do you notice? [ All innocence. ]

Ah, I wonder.

[ the most dry ]

[so_dark_a_road]

Kano, you should have that dry voice bottled and sell it as a fabulously dry wine. [ Giggle ]

Brat. [ Maglor says fondly ]

Go help Margaery name it, and something proper!

video

[so_dark_a_road]

Now you're starting to sound like Moryo again. [ Still grinning. ]

Yes, I'll ask Margaery! I'll bet she can come up with something good.

[bythewaves]

Only when provoked!

[ Maglor rolls his eyes at him fondly ]

Do so. And I will see you when you are free.

video

[so_dark_a_road]

And I provoke you sometimes just to have the pleasure of hearing his voice in yours.

[ Gives him an affectionate look. ]

Agreed!

[ Maglor shakes his head at him fondly ]

I'll let you know once I've heard from Nelyo, alright?

video

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Still smiling. ]

All right! And I'll let you know once I've heard from Tyelpe.

good place to end?

[bythewaves]

Fair winds and calm seas, brother!

fine with me!

[so_dark_a_road]
