Magni didn’t have a mirror or anything else to see the change of his appearance, but he could feel it. It’s been a while since he let himself change into someone else. Usually, Magni tried to avoid it, but as much as he despised the change, it was a relief to be able to be someone else and to disappear for a moment. After the change, he opened his eyes and studied his hands. They were so different from his own. His fingers were long, and his skin no longer showed any sign of hard labor. Where had he seen this man before? Was it in Westburgh? Or maybe even Luna Island? Magni was startled from his thoughts when he heard someone approaching him, instantly changing back into himself. His freshly washed hair hung loosely over his shoulder, no longer in a braid. “ Were you trying to sneak up on me? “ Magni almost hissed at them before sighing deeply. “ Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. Are you okay? “

“BAM!” Maeve smacked her hands together, ending her story with a bang. “I stepped on his hand and crushed it like a bug. I figured that would teach him not to steal…or at least, not to steal from me.” Grinning, she plopped down on her bunk, feeling superbly pleased that she had a semi-interesting story of her own to tell.

they had set sail mere hours ago, with the high noon sun painting metal bits of the ship bright like diamonds. Bloom found themselves hung upside-down from the interlocking mesh that scaled the main mast, weaving together a complicated knot to salvage a broken rope.finishing their task, keen eyes swiveled away from the rigging and down towards the deck. with calves and feet tangled up purposefully in the net to stop them from falling, they reached for the deck of the ship, planning to use their grip on the wood to pull themselves free. they immediately discovered that they had miscalculated, their fingers only had the ability to reach inches above floor, leaving them unable to pull themselves free. still hanging there, blood rushing to their head, they scowled and folded their arms petulantly. they looked remarkably like a grumpy bat.  what a truly embarrassing mistake to make mere weeks into a new job. humbling themselves, they looked around for another crew member to give them a hand. “hey, uh,” they swallowed their pride once more, “mind lending a hand?”

“Once we get off this godforsaken island, I swear-” Jaina scoffed, kicking up some sand as she walked the waterline, boots in one hand, bottle in the other. “I’m hitting up the shadiest tavern I can find and you won’t be able to pry me away.” Storms, mermen, what would life throw at them next? Taking a drink, she held the bottle out to her companion. “Drinking alone is bad luck, don’t you know?”

Rav was situated in the shade, just at the treeline, book in her hand as she wrote. Some people might find keep a journal silly, but it was comforting to her, knocking she could go back at any time and recall memories, both fond and otherwise. Exhaling slowly, she glanced up as she heard footsteps approaching, moving the brim of her hat out of the way. “What? Not enjoying this lovely sun we’re getting?”

“Fuck!” Tobias exclaimed before pulling his thumb to his mouth, trying to numb the pain he’d just caused himself. Holding a hammer in his other had he’d been trying to help repair the ship. Years ago, Tobias had helped build churches and houses but he never considered himself much of a carpenter. Except there wasn’t much else for him to do. Swabbing the deck of a ship that wouldn’t set sail anytime soon seemed rather pointless– and after being useless during the storm he needed to prove he was an asset to the crew. Hell, he needed to prove that to himself right now. Pulling his thumb from his mouth he confirmed his suspicion that he’d busted the nail of his thumb and was bleeding along the cuticle. “Brilliant,” he muttered to himself.

Going into the jungle by himself wasn’t Magni’s smartest idea, but he wanted to explore the island, and he didn’t want to bother anyone on the crew, so he went into the jungle alone. After what felt like an eternity of walking and swatting away flies, he was starting to conclude that he was lost. That is until he heard someone approach him. “ Yes! “ He exclaimed, laughing gleefully when he saw one of his crewmates. “ I’m pretty sure I’ve been walking in circles forever. I was already planning my new life in the jungle, where I would have to live on my own and eat nothing but crab and turtles. “

At some point during the day, Thaddeus had roamed away from the ship. They weren’t really keeping track of time or anything, just walking along the edge of the beach without much to accompany them apart from the sea breeze and the now setting sun. That is, until they felt as though they were being watched. Turning around, they caught sight of one of the other crew members and raised a brow at them. “What’s got you wandering this far off from civilization?”

In the few days since their arrival at the island, Adeline hadn’t had any more visions, or at least not any while she was awake. Napping and even sleeping seemed less and less palatable by the day to her, and that was precisely why she found herself combing through the kitchen for anything resembling coffee beans or tea leaves to make herself a cuppa. The sound of footsteps in the doorway made her jump, however, and she bumped her head on the edge of the cabinet she’d been looking into. “Fuck’s sake!”

“He’s not going to hurt anyone,” Lyra insisted, walking out towards the water. She wasn’t sure if the crew had managed to wrangle a pig, or if they’d scared all the game right off the island, so she was heading to the beach to go fishing for their suppers. “He’s in no shape to, even if he wanted to. It’s not like he came looking for us, the storm just happened to blow us in the same direction.”

[grimxintcntions]

“I really think we should explore more of the island.” It was true that Maeve thought there was more to be seen, but she was also tired of working on repairs. “What if there’s something that could help us? What if there are more people here?”

[jax-harper]

The sun was just starting to rise, but Jax had been up for hours. Rather than sit and stare at the ceiling, he went down to the beach to cut wood for any needed repairs. It was cathartic to be able to split something - even if what he really wanted to do damage to was a certain mer’s face. “Unless you’re bringing me breakfast or booze, now isn’t a good time! Unless you actually care to work.”

The storm was undeniably getting worse, and even Lyra was sure she’d never been in a storm like this before. And yet… there was something familiar about it. Lyra felt herself drawn out onto the deck, amidst the howling winds and cracking thunder, she forced her eyes towards the sky. There was a feeling on the air, something that made her think of home, and a sinking realization came over her. She looked towards the lightning ripping the sky apart in horror. “I know what this is,” she muttered, her mind already racing with the implications.

Rain soaked hair clung to Maeve’s face and her clothes stuck to her skin. She had never been so cold in her entire life. The wind outside was punishing, and the rain was sharp and painful. Needing a break, she started down the stairs into the lower decks, only to lose her footing and slip down the last few. “Holy sh-” her back hit the wooden steps with a loud thud, and all she could do was groan. “Pretend you didn’t see that.”
