Week 2, the morning after the summoning

[keepcalmcookon]

[Exasperation. And anger at the stupidity he's about ready to mention:]

A group of idiots just managed to summon the Genius of the Entire Atlantic Ocean, whom promptly escaped their attempts to contain him and possessed their leader. The Crown Prince and the Princess were also both present--and the genius is amenable to not murdering everyone. Even deciding to bide his time to decide which one of them he may decide to support in their fight for the throne.

Even though he seems amenable enough, he can surround you with water and drown you where you stand, so don't try his considerable patience by being a prat.

Some of us seem to have a fondness for hornet nests and sticks.

[razorblade_empress]

[There is the equivalent of a sigh from Yukino's end of the conversation.]

Yeah.

[keepcalmcookon]

He'll likely drown those that can be, I suspect.

[razorblade_empress]

Probably.

[Those that have to breathe, anyway goddammit, Bismuth]

Not really a way I'd want to go, even if it is temporary.

[keepcalmcookon]

Indeed. I've heard that drowning is one of the worst ways to go.

[razorblade_empress]

I really don't want to find out firsthand.

[keepcalmcookon]

Nor do I. And I hope none of the other travelers attempt to find out, either.

[razorblade_empress]

[Alas, that ship is leaving the harbor right now.]

Yeah, me too.

[keepcalmcookon]

[Bon Voyage!]

Likely, the hope is in vain, but one can always hold out for a miracle.

[razorblade_empress]

I guess.

[She's not counting on it.]

[keepcalmcookon]

[Nor is he.]

My name is Ignis Scientia, by the way.

[razorblade_empress]

Yukino Mayuzumi. Good to meet you.

[keepcalmcookon]

And you as well... even if the circumstances are poor.

[razorblade_empress]

Thanks.
