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. ]

You're in no need of our services?

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

Not at the moment, but I probably will eventually.

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

And so you seek to introduce yourself to those who do have such services in advance. Clever. [she says approvingly]

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

It's kind of my thing. Not a bad idea to make friends with the people who have the boat.

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

No, indeed. Well, I suppose I must introduce myself. Margaery Tyrell, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. And you are?

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

[So much royalty...]

Uh. Annabeth Chase. That's it.

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

[all without their countries]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Annabeth. Are you from Earth or elsewhere?

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

Earth. It's...really weird that that is a legitimate question.

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

And it seems as though there are so many Earths to choose from! What is yours like?

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

That's...kind of hard to answer. I don't even know where to start. I've never known anything different until here. It's...nice I guess?

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

Nice? No peculiarities? That sounds peaceful.

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

Sure, but they aren't really peculiarities to me.

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

Being from Westeros, every Earth is peculiar to me. Tell me of yours?

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

What should I start with?

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

Does anyone have any special gifts that others don't have? It seems as though in every Earth, some people have powers that others don't.

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

[Sigh she was hoping not to have to answer that.]

Yes. But not everybody knows about it. And no, before you ask, I don't have any.

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

If it's a secret, you don't have to tell me anything.

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

Sorry, it's just paranoia, I guess. Old habits and all.

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

I understand. We all have our secrets.

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

You're way more understanding than most people.

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

I suppose I'm well-accustomed to keeping secrets. It was a necessity on the road to becoming queen.

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

That is a really good point. So, uh. What's your world like?

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

[she frowns slightly]

Troubled. Westeros has been torn apart by war and conflict. There's an end in sight, but it will require further bloodshed to get there.

Re: [Video]

[yearrounder]

I'm sorry. I can...sort of understand what that's like.

Re: [Video]

[roseofthetyrells]

You can? That's a shame. No one's world should be that way.
