Wip I won't manage to finish today for what I imagine Floyd Matharu saw that final voyage with Salesa in MAG 141
(the creature is a reference picture and only the island is somewhat rendered, plus I didn't draw the sudden lightning storm he describes yet so it's very unfinished but I wanted to make it in time for @a-mag-a-day )
i really didn’t wanna go through this again but a friend of mine just got into TMA and they are halfway through s2 already and im feeling PUMPED. MOTIVATED. so let’s do this.
let’s begin!
Statement of Floyd Matharu regarding his time aboard the ship Dorian
People listed:
Jon Archivist
Basira Hussain
Floyd Matharu (statement giver, worked in the Dorian)
Mikaele Salesa (artifact and antiques seller)
Captain Gaultier (worked for Salesa in the Dorian)
Other notes:
being on the other side of the chair in regards to people starting the show is amazing. also, my friend’s notes are even wilder and more thorough than mine, so like i feel i need to keep this up and not slack off. let’s see how these two stop the end of the world, again.
so they’re on their way to norway, by boat. and the tape recorder as always is just recording by its own volition. OH ONE OF SALESA’S SHIPHANDS.
SO HE JUST?? COMPELLED A MAN JUST BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WOULD HAVE WORTHWHILE INFORMATION? i am not too sure if i like this at all. like obviously yes i want to know more and that is an opportunity, not only for us to learn more about salesa and other stuff but also about everything that’s going on w jon and basira at that moment, but it feels... wrong.
wait, last voyage that killed whom?? Jesús or Salesa?? okay. we’ll find out soon enough i guess. lots of names that i don’t really wanna jot down right now but i promise ill keep them in my personal notes.
so some kind of spiral manifestation attacked this man. out of a rug. it seems like a life of dealing with artefacts has worn down salesa. so he’s retiring, but he’s gonna make a deal. why do i have the feeling this deal is not going to be good at all?
also, holy shit good severance pay, eat your heart out Magnus Institute, i bet they don’t even got dental. so they’re stealing... something from some rich person on a private island. almost makes me think of the lukas family, a far-off unconnected island belonging to rich people, that contains a cursed artefact?
a broken camera, okay. we won’t be seeing that again ever im sure. also something dark and huge underneath the water moving towards you is LEGITIMATELY terrifying and would be a real fear of mine.
rip salesa, rip the captain, and rip the remaining sanity of the crew members. i wonder who they delivered the camera to, and who/what betrayed them.
oh jon rolling all the nat 20s in persuasion. EXTREMELY spooky. i can’t help but feel both very horrified at this extreme abuse of powers, and yet also.. proud of him? in a way? for coming onto his own as an archivist. like it’s awesome! but it is tragic.
basira is RIGHTFULLY pissed off. jon sounds so... matter of fact. and calm. it scares me. like instead of doing a very bad thing he was justified in doing (or at least that he believes was justified), he is acting like nothing is even out of place. im so sorry about the nightmares dude.
oh playing the gertrude card, very nice of you jon. but he has a point, basira could have stopped him. but we all wanted to know and were willing to sacrifice the peace of mind of this poor man (when i say i mean the listener but also the narrative itself).
