The Slaking chuckles, hitting her face with the force of a slap, only clinging onto her head. "Captain ain't here, Shirley."

Hearing Eliot, he turns to him, snarling a menacing "WHAT?!"

She recoils a little from the slap, but quickly recovers, rubbing her face. "... Then who's driving the ship?"

Finley will notice a Slaking guard driving the ship.

As Michael said, he would be at Captain's Quarters.

She sighs, letting out an annoyed grunt. "I know the captain didn't put a bunch of unpredictable people on a ship with guards without orders. That would be chaos. Where's the captain?"

Ship ("Sarah")

But...like, isn't she a stowaway? *"Sarah" says to Eliot, but figuring it best to follow his lead, she says* Still, what he's doing is totally not cool. *and too advances ever so further, albeit with multiple layers of dread washing over her*


Ship (Mixy)

P-please stop! I can just...fly behind, right? Until they talk to the captain...please... *Mixy pleads, tears streaming down her feathers* ...please...don't do this...

"Why would I tell you that?" He then turned to Mixy, still proposing deals. He turns, smacking Mixy's protect with a powerful backhand with almost all of his force. It understandably fades away. He admittedly forgot about the Protect.

"God damn it."

[In the span of about a second, I go from shock as the Slaking slaps Finley to the briefest instance of motion to thrust myself between the two sides of this conflict to retreat as the Slaking screams at me, causing me to cover my head, lower myself as if to brace myself, and shake in fear of retribution.]

"...I just..." [...no...no, I can't let him just lord over us like this, just scream at us, wail on us like he thinks he's hot shit...]

[I stand up straight...I still feel a tinge of dread, though I brush it off. I get close to the Slaking, uncomfortably so. Well, perhaps more for me than him, though I have an idea to mitigate that if need be.] "...I need for you to get yer captain and stop the boat. I will be able to ferry her—GLH!"

Suddenly, Eliot is plucked from the ground by a Slaking—a bandana tied around his head and a rope coiled around his shoulder—and hoisted into the air by his neck. As the Smeargle struggles to break free of the Slaking's grip, he addresses his comrade, "Sir, this mutt givin' you any trouble?" As Eliot admits defeat and now seeks merely to keep himself from getting his head popped off by the Slaking's vice grip, the Slaking then takes note of Finley and Mixy, then looks confusedly towards his comrade. "Ehhhh, what's goin' on here? Those two harrasin' you?"

Seeing no real reason to restrain him further, the Slaking lets Eliot down, who keels over onto his hands and knees as he gasps for breath.

"Arright, arright," he barks at Finley, "coverin' for a stowaway, uh?" He then fixes his attention onto this stowaway, but when his eyes fall upon the insignia embroidered on the Farfetch'd's outfit, he realizes that he recognizes that insignia.

"Sir," he says to his comrade, paying some heed to Finley's words, "I don't know if that lark's a stowaway. From the look of 'er, she's probably one of Featherfall's employs." He does think of a potentially likely possibility: the Farfetch'd is merely wearing the garb of one of their couriers. He eyes the Farfetch'd suspiciously...that possibility is dashed somewhat by the sheer anguish she's in, it strikes something of a chord with him.

"Could you—" [I try and prop myself up, still trying to draw in some sweet, precious air.] "—let me—get out—my—idea——" [I let out a weak grunt and falter, my nose nearly colliding with the ground as I use an arm to hold myself up.]

I am Featherfall Courier Mixy sir! *she fumbles a bit with her belongs all the while, and they end up tumbling out of her satchel...no other packages, though, since the one for Finley was her last*

*the belongings are mostly mundane, with the most interesting being her identification, emblem and an artist's rendering of her portrait*

Before I can think of something to say my body starts moving towards Eliot, trying to help him up onto his feet. Then I look over to the farfetch'd and the words come out. "You know I expected the trip to go smoothly, not to see someone crying their eyes out and threatened to be thrown off. Which I will make sure does. Not. Happen." I turn myself over towards the slaking. My voice taking on a threatening tone of it's own. "Can we please have some peace? No one has to fight on this trip. There will already probably be enough of a problem with this king VA thing."

[I'm silently thankful for James as he helps me up, and I lean on him as he spits vemon upon the two Slakings.]

The kerchiefed Slaking looks to James, fed up at his intrusion. "Hey, ya punk, scram before this brouhaha gets any rockier." Proud of his pun—evident thanks to his slimy laugh—he waves James away, seeing what looks to be, from a glance, official Featherfall identification spilled out from Mixy's bag as he faces the other Slaking, then says to his comrade, "You got a point there...she's not part of the group we were told about, then we're gonna have to get 'er off the ship." He looks to Mixy once more, somewhat perturbed by his comrade's comments towards James. "Sorry, lark. I'll go down and fetch a raft for ya."

"Actually—" [My breathing finally under control, I decide to chime in here, stopping the Slaking with the bandana before he can move to disappear below deck.] "I was...gonna suggest I...ferry her...back to Gleamscape..." [The kerchiefed Slaking looks confusedly at me, then laughs, looking back towards his comrade.] "'ey, we got a champion swimmer on our ship, if 'e can swim 'er all the way back to Gleamscape!"

*Mixy just stares at the Smeargle, and asks the inevitable* W-what? I'd probably have more luck flying you back, but... *she's pretty confused, but she starts gathering her things...maybe the Smeargle has a plan*

*"Sarah" is just giving Eliot a "what the fuck" sort of look, though she asides to James* Like, seriously not bad for for your first adventure, y'know?

"No one is leaving." I say as I try to shift Eliot onto Sarah so she can take on the role of holding him up. Then walk over to the farfetch'd so I am standing between her and the other slaking. "I'm gonna say this again. Don't do this." And the inner anime watching fan I am just comes out as I raise my arms out wide and ready to protect her.

The Slaking continues to eye James, moving towards his fellow soldier and situating himself beside him. [Losing my support from James as he tries to push me off onto Sarah, I instead decide to brace myself again on him, looking up to the two Slaking.]

"Uh...I...know Transform...I Sketched it, I mean..." [I feel a sense of relief as I've finally made up for the deficit of air that that Slaking had inflicted upon me. I stand up from off of James.] "I was...thinking that I'd become, I dunno, a, a Lapras 'n ferry her back to Gleamscape."

"Ohhh..." Believing Eliot (it would be a bit absurd for it to be a farce, he reckons), the kerchiefed Slaking looks to his comrade. "Well, sir, that's one less raft we gotta use."

"Not true, friend, if'n you consider we were'nt gonna use a raft. And even still, that'll be leaving us without a fine paid for our... many troubles in dealing with the stowaway."

My lord, will you people go to sleep? It's nearly midnight, and you're meeting royalty tomorrow.

Both Michael and Stephen are present, at the door to the quarters, exhausted.

"Sir, we have a stowaway."

Who? The mailman? I don't care. Arrest her when we get to dock. I don't care right now.

"Sir."

It's been a long week, Major. Go to bed, or you'll find yourself with a rope collar.

He looked engulfed in fury, but he stopped himself. Michael and Stephen returned below deck.
