Well... I'd hate to remind you (Logan) of all your previous company that went to sleep and never woke back up. Buuut, there's kind of a time limit on not eating = death thing.

That time limit varies by creature - but it's usually A Thing.

I-? What?! That's why they didn't wake up? But when I do it I just sleep and wake up feeling better! I mean, sometimes things are on fire, but I don't know why? -🧠

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

I feel like eating only a few times in a year isn't... ideal, Logan. - Well-p. Better hope y'all don't have to resort to the food contingency for TOO long, should it come to that. Don't want a certain captain to have a fit over it. :,D

*looks genuinely confused* Why not? -🧠

------

*suddenly looks tired* He's going to throw a fit for the first meal. He really hates fish.

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

What is everyone's opinions on eating fish, here?

(Have a hunch that at least half of you like it.)

*grins* Love it! Grew up eating fish! But I cook it now and kill them first.

*shrugs* Not a fan. -🐍

But you're-?

So? I'd rather have meat pie. -🐍

I love it! Never could get enough!

*ruffles Virgil's hair* Of course you do. -🐍

-------

It's food right? I'll eat it.

-------

Um... it's fine? I guess? I don't really eat much? Maybe a few times a year? -🧠

-------

It's gross! And it smells weird! I hate it!

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

Patton, what's the plan for when a resupply is in order?

Fishing until we see land again.

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

Looks like the ship is on the move.

For everyone's sake, I hope the the rations are enough...

*You see Remus pocketing rolls and shoving raw potatoes in his mouth.*

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

You really are quite silly. It adds to that adorable quality, ngl.

*pouts, glaring, his brown eyes turning red and ears pointed* I am not! I am charming and sophisticated!

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

I think understanding that world would help you understand yourself more, don't you think?

Ah, just let it simmer in the background, then~

I don't need to know anything! I'm fine!

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

You're among aquatic company. It might be fun to learn some things from them, Ro~

*wrinkles his nose* As if I'd trust them!

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

I bet the form felt... natural, though. Didn't it?

I.... Yeah? It.... It did....

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

Patton, how's the preparations to set sail? Even with that... interruption.

Also, any reflections on Roman, after that last dip in the drink?

We're departing from shore now! Um... I'm glad Roman is okay, I just hope he doesn't kill me or report me.... I'd like to keep living this life instead of starting over.

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

On the bright side - I don't think you need to worry about drowning anymore, Roman.

I- I guess? Doesn't mean I want to go back into the water though!

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

Also gotta say, the form you took when you were down there was really cool.

Guessing it was an instinctual response~

*pales, looking sick* I.... That was real? I don't-? What was that?

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

Is that a "oh shit, I did recognize them!" or just a "that happened?!"

I, uh, yes? Both? I, um, didn't really, uh, realize what happened? And, uh.... Yeah.... Didn't think mermaids were real or know Patton was one?

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

Uh, I got a question about when you were in the water earlier.

Did you recognize that mermaid that tried to help you?

I-? *Pales as his eyes go wide* WHAT THE HELL?!

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

You're adorable.

*wrinkles his nose* Ugh. You sound like Janus.

-

*Looks confused* I-? Wha-? I am?

[ask-the-side-accruing-a-crew]

Janus. You're also a dork.

No. I'm a threat. I don't know why you would think otherwise. -🐍
