some calamity has struck the mortal world...

hhgghhhhfthbbGUH Ferryman! Ferryman Ferryman!! I found a coin with a bird on it!! I don't know that it's a dove but it's... It's something close:? Here here here look 🪙

-Arthur shamelesshusk

There you are! My friend, I would advise you to...

...oh, that is a very interesting coin, how beautiful...

...A-As I was saying!

I would truly advise you to be careful in and around the Ocean Styx. I have heard of people being crushed even by merely touching its surface...

I do not mean to tell you what to do, of course; but please, promise me that you will be careful.

shamelesshusk

Oh, my- myself? I- I don't know what to say... Hobbies... I used to bike, before... um. Before I died. I can't really do that here... I did a couple sports but I can't do those here either.

Since arriving it's been... mostly avoiding the volatile souls and watching the waves, after being pulled out of the ocean. Other than my expeditions, I mean! And reading... I didn't really read the bible while I was alive other than a bit in Sunday school when I was little. There's some- there's some wild stuff in there, I wasn't, uh, I- I wasn't expecting Song of Solomon to be, quite, so, um, .....

Ahh, indeed, the Song of Solomon... truly a... p-passionate text. If I had one still, I'm quite sure it would set my heart all a-flutter, heh! ...Not in a sinful way, mind you, just in the general sense.

Ah, but in any case... I do hope that you have been well. If ever you need protection from those errant souls, I am ever ready to come to your defense, my friend.

As for your other hobbies... The ferry is quite spacious; if there is anything you would like to do, you need only let me know, and I will do my best to make any necessary accommodations.

'Tis the least I can do for a friend who has shown me such selfless generosity and kindness.

[WHAT'S WRONG WITH FIGHTING? WE DUEL FOR FUN SOMETIMES.]

People are sent to Hell for committing sins; depending on which sin, they are sent to different layers. ...The fish appearing out of thin air is a genuine mystery, though. That... that implies they are... produced here, somehow. ...perhaps fish are evil... A-Ah. I believed I may have seen Size 2 fish; I do not wish to get your hopes up, for it may have just been a particularly impressive Size 1. I was on the deck, as usual... quite far out from any land, I believe. I have been to the cabin, indeed. Why do you ask, friend?

[LMAO]

[DO YOU THINK THE LEVIATHAN WAS A SIZE 2 FISH?

OR WOULD THAT BE A SIZE 3.]

[...]

[I'M GOING TO HAVE TO BORROW YOUR BOAT FOR FISHING. I HAVE TO SEE.]

[OH.]

[I'VE BEEN LIVING THERE. IF YOU EVER WANTED TO GO FISHING? OR SOMETHING.]

[I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T TALK TO PEOPLE MUCH]

#reblogs #sanguinedescent

I once heard that the Leviathan is merely a particularly big Size 1... but I find that hard to believe. I mean... surely that must be at least a Size 2.

If not, then... the Size 2 must be larger than even my wildest dreams.

...Ah! But before I get lost in thought...

Feel free to use the boat as and when you wish. It is no trouble.

It would be my pleasure to go fishing with you one day... We might even get lucky and see that Size 2.

...Or at least a really big Size 1.

Three coins? How generous. Thank you.

Well, if I am to decide the topic...

I would ask what brings you here upon the Ocean Styx today. It is unusual to see a newcomer these days.

[I WOULDN'T SAY IM NEW, BUT I USUALLY STOP BY TO WATCH THE WAVES AND REST.]

[MAYBE EVEN CHIT CHAT, IF ONE WISHES TO INTERACT IN ANY WAY.]

[BUT I MAKE SURE TO BRING PLENTY OF COINS FOR PAYMENT, REGARDLESS OF IF I NEED PASSAGE OR A PLACE TO REST...ESPECIALLY WITH HOW HECTIC HELL CAN BE.]

Ah, this I understand.

Hell is a... busy place, to say the least. It can often be difficult to find a moment of respite.

...Feel free to stop by the ferry any time you are in need of safety during your rest.

Chit chat and company are also rare things in Hell. They are always truly welcome.

[I APPRECIATE IT, TRULY. I WILL BE SURE TO BRING COINS WITH ME EACH TIME FOR YOU, AS WELL.]

[YOU ARE GOOD COMPANY AND A WONDERFUL PERSON, REMEMBER THAT ABOUT YOURSELF. DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE..]

[BUT YES, CHIT CHAT AND COMPANY IS INDEED RARE IN HELL, BUT THAT'S ALSO WHAT IVE BEEN USED TO BEFORE I ARRIVED HERE..Y'KNOW, BEFORE HUMANITY FELL IN A SENSE.]

I...

I am genuinely touched. Thank you, friend.

Your willingness to say such a thing, to spend time with an old lost soul like me... It speaks volumes about your own character, as well.

So remember that very thing about yourself, too: you are also good company and a wonderful person.

...I am sorry that you have been used to a lack of conversation and company. I can relate.

We shall remedy this together!

I have a great deal of free time on my hands since the fall... so I am always here to talk.

[I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN USED TO CONVERSATION, DUE TO BEING A GUARD FOR HUMANS BEFORE HUMANITY FELL, WEIRDLY ENOUGH.]

[IT FEELS STRANGE TO HAVE TO AVOID CONVERSING CAUSE IT JUST...GIVES AN UNEASY AND UNNECESSARY TENSION WITHIN AN AREA, I GUESS?]

[NOT SURE IF THAT MAKES SENSE, BUT OH WELL.]

[BUT YES, WE CAN INDEED REMEDY THE LACK OF CONVERSATION WITH ONE ANOTHER! SPEAKING OF, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU ARE CURIOUS ABOUT? EITHER ABOUT ME OR WHAT IVE SEEN OR ENCOUNTERED?]

[MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK MORE ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR EXPERIENCES AS WELL?]

Oh! Oh, yes, that makes sense. Being a guard, I imagine you were around others a lot... It makes sense that you would be used to talking.

...Actually, there is much I am curious about. I suppose I will start with, ah... how are you finding Hell?

I can remember how the world was, long ago. It's quite different down here.

I know another machine, who feeds on blood... Is it the same for you? If so, are you finding enough fuel?

...As for me, well... I am merely a ferryman. I had a name once, but it is not an important one.

My days mainly consist of sailing the ferry, occasionally defending my position, and making art when I find the time.

[AGAIN, HELL IS HECTIC, BUT THERE ARE MANY..SIMILARITIES THAT IVE NOTICED, BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO ELABORATE.]

[AS FOR FINDING FUEL, I AM SIMILAR WHEN IT COMES TO NEEDING BLOOD. I FIGHT AND KILL WHEN I NEED TO, BUT I TRY TO AVOID VIOLENCE? IM NEUTRAL ON THE IDEA OF IT, I AM STILL A GUARDIAN IN A SENSE OF THE WORD..I WOULD FEEL BAD IF ALL I DID WAS KILL, EVEN IF IT PROVIDED FUEL; THOUGH ITS MORE DIFFICULT TO ABSORB IN A WAY.]

[BUT YES, I DO NEED BLOOD FOR FUEL, SO I DO WHAT I CAN TO REPLENISH..THOUGH I HAVE A BAD TENDENCY TO FORGET TO DO SO.]

[THOUGH, I WOULD GO AFTER THE FISH, AS ITS EASY FUEL; BUT I MYSELF..UHM — FEAR THE RAGING WATERS.]

You forget to replenish...?

Ah... I understand. It is easy to be caught up in other things and forget to take care of one's self.

...If you fear the waters, friend, might I offer some assistance?

I spend practically all of my time aboard this vessel, with the water all around...

And I have found fishing to be a good way to pass the time.

If you would like, I would be happy to share any fish I might happen to catch.

...Ah— no coins necessary for this, of course. I am not seeking payment.

#reblogs #crimson-warbot #|| 100% valid!

The Ferryman reaches out a bony hand to accept the coins. If he could smile, he would... He appreciates the thoughtfulness behind the gesture.

No thanks necessary, friend. Hell certainly lives up to its reputation at times, certainly in my opinion at least...

So if I can do this to make your experience better, I am happy to do so.

Besides... I, too, am grateful for the good conversation.

Do you... Do you remember when, heaven was in chaos? And they had to form a council to decree the will of god and give other angels tasks? That was around the time of the Sisyphean insurrection. I'm really sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but that was because big daddy in the sky went missing.

...

......

I see.

I do not claim to understand this. I cannot claim to know how to feel about it, either.

I will... simply pray for the best.

Thank you, friend.

Ah... good! I am glad to hear that you will not be running out. Indeed, there does seem to be a vast supply of fish down here. They ought to nourish you in a pinch. ...I've often wondered why there are so many fish down in Hell, but... I shall not question God's will.

[FISH ARE EVIL]

[DO YOU EVER FISH?]

[HAVE YOU SEEN A SIZE 2 FISH?]

Fish are... evil? That... well, it would explain why there are so many of them down here, actually.

Ahh, the fabled Size 2. I could have sworn I saw one once, but... I have never seen it since, so perhaps I was merely being hopeful.

I have never been so lucky as to catch one, though...

[IDK I FORGOT WHY PEOPLE GO TO HELL OTHER THAN DYING BUT THE FISH ARE LIMITLESS AND OTHER THAN REAPPEARING IF YOU CATCH THEM WITH A ROD IT PRODUCES A NEW FISH OUT OF THIN AIR. WATER. THIN WATER]

[SO A LOT OF FISH HAVE GONE TO HELL. UNLESS FISH ORIGINATE IN HELL AND END UP IN THE EARTH WHEN THEY DIE HERE. THAT'D BE WILD]

[YOU'VE SEEN SIZE 2 FISH?]

[I HAVE TO SEE]

[WHERE]

[HAVE YOU EVER GONE TO THE CABIN?]
