More sailor beans.

Well, Logo eventually becomes one. He's gotta leave the mercs behind first.

Why a 16yo is running amok with mercs in the first place, idk. Shouldnt he be in algebra class or smthn?

Also plz. Let Alex rest. He's so tired from holding the crew's braincell 25% of the time (he shares it with James, Ryo, and Waffles).

And I love Russ to death, his character arc is amazing, but damn he's an asshole at first.

I’m trying not to say dressed to kill.

Haunted by your own exceptionalism you prepare another sacrifice to yourself—it’s not the size of offering at stake but its scope, like how the difference between ornamental cabbage and rent-week cabbage is one of hot water. I, too, know how to preen without adornment: straight gaze, chin up, tongue the afternoon light just enough to ripple it. It’s a matter of position, not praise.

Now, I swallow my own tongue for touch.

Some ocs that work on the fictional cargo ship the Caroline.

Some are pure.

Some (Thatcher) are grumps.

Some are unhinged.

All will need copious amounts of therapy when I’m done with them.

I open too for the season, the sea waiting for its daily bread outside these shapes, a craving. I have bought my rot to its edges, a bitter mouth my mouth, the month unending, the end only undone.
