[pnpgm] Sorry about not posting!

[Rachelle Gauthier]

Sorry as well for not responding!  I just had no idea what I'm to post while on the ship.
If it'll be easier for you, I have
skype: InunekoYoukai
and
discord: Inuneko#2410

Ix does her best to handle the food on board the ship, or at least run quality control with her sense of smell and touch to try to catch anything that's gone off.

Since she is of no real help to anyone at the moment, blindness aside, she's definitely no sailor.  In her free time she tries to find a not so crowded area so she can practice dancing on the moving ship to help with her balance.  If she cannot find a suitable place to do so, she'll settle down and play her bone ocarina.

When Kiet asks if he could learn her language, she tilts her head, "How would you do that?  I don't mind, but I'm interested to know.  Something like that would have been really helpful after I got lost."

 Sorry...first I was having email trouble then
 work issues.  There just wasn’t any time left in the
 day.
 
 Kiet begins the trip looking forward to
 being on the ship.  It’s been far too long. 
 Then he finds out Mournath is going to navigate.  A bit
 of trepidation runs thru Kiet’s bones at the thought of
 that.  A good navigator is essential for a safe
 voyage.  However, Dorhak has ordered that the ship
 (Dorhak keeps calling it a boat) stay near land, at least to
 keep it in sight.  This seems wise.
 
 Kiet is used to ships supplies being
 dull and mundane.  Sadly, his tokens don’t work well
 on board ship, with little to put in the bucket...at least
 little that Kiet doesn’t mind having in the bucket. 
 Cooking is always a chore.  Often time the only hot
 food was for the captain, prepared over a charcoal
 brazier.  Cooking fires were a serious no-no.
 
 One of the first things Kiet does is
 look up Ix.  He ponders her place here, her infirmity
 with her eyes, and that blasted over-large wolf.  He
 knows something is not right here.  Not menacing, but
 far too off to be 'normal'.  She is, of course, a
 barbarian and a shaman.  Much like Z’leyra.  Has
 a pet like her too.  This one, however, often looks at
 us like we're future meals.  Quite unsettling.
 
 Kiet approaches Ix openly, not trying
 to be sneaky or trying to startle her or that beast. 
 He asks in several tongues "Ix?  Might I cast a spell
 to learn your native tongue?  We never know when it
 might be useful."  Assuming she replies to the
 affirmative, Kiet will cast a 5x cost Tongues spell in order
 to permanently learn it.  Expensive in mana, but it
 also helps improve the use of the spell over time.  It
 takes Kiet almost half a minute to gather the mana for such
 a spell.
 
 OOC...I don't have Rachelle's email
 address so we could RP this.  Can you send that to me
 at dasandersx at comcast.net...thanx!
 
 Kiet realizes that he may also need to
 make a language learning magic toy. It is useful. 
 Landing in Bhamotin's capital port without knowing some of
 the language is a hinderance at best.  Kiet looks
 around to see if a dock worker is nearby then decides to try
 casting the 5x cost Tongues spell again, gathering the mana
 as discretely out of sight as possible, then yelling out to
 the dock worker in Marentian.  He asks him to speak
 Bhamotin.
 
 Kiet does his best to help the borrowed
 sailors with the craft.  Kiet still likes climbing the
 rigging and such.
 
 Kiet also talks to Raddok.  He
 hears that he wants to learn to use a dagger, but tries to
 hide his laugh when he says he wants to use it for cutting
 food.  Kiet would only use a dagger for that purpose if
 he was destitute.  A small knife would work far
 better.
 
 In Donaran, Kiet offers "I can teach
 you to use a dagger, if you wish.  However, I think
 only a few hours a day, what with the work on board ship."
 (OOC...about 4 hours max.) if he agrees, Kiet will allow him
 to borrow one of his daggers while training on board ship.
 
 Being that they are at sea, and that
 quarters are tight, Kiet decides it would be well near
 impossible to find an unused corner of the ship suitable for
 Purification (for knowledge spells) nor for his air
 Magics.  However, Kiet will still spend his available
 free time studying his magic crafting book, searching for
 anything useful about crafting a staff.
