Finley frowns. So...they weren't employees on the boat. Worse still, the short woman mentioned the whole 'waking up randomly on a ship' thing. Finley hadn't put much thought into why that had happened, but now their theory was leaning more towards some weird kidnapping attempt. Well...at least the two knew the captain, and apparently had a plan to escape. 

And they got their names. Finley nodded, tugging nervously at the hem of their sweater. Something about this duo was...kinda intimidating. Maybe it was Caelea's bright white hair...or the sheer size of Hagan. Regardless the two were an intense pair. Finley looked down at the deck, finding their shoes easier to look at. Eventually they spoke up, their voice still wavering, not wanting to seem rude. 

[color=LightSteelBlue]"Nice to meet you, I'm Finley."[/color]

They blinked a moment, feeling a blip in their aura radar. Finley turned around, slowly and cautiously, but immediately eased up when they noticed who it was. They raised one hand in greeting, their other arm still wrapped around their stomach, a weak attempt to keep from shivering. Finley almost smiled as they called back to their friend. 

[color=LightSteelBlue]"H...Hi Trent! It's good to see-"[/color]

Finley didn't get to finish their sentence as [i]something[/i] crashed against the ship, sending a shockwave of force through the boat. Finley immediately lost their balance, falling to the deck and skidding to the railing as the ship violently swayed. 

As they slammed against the railing Finley [i]flickered[/i] a moment, vanishing and reappearing for a few seconds as their abstraction activated instinctually. After a moment of panic Finley stabilized, visible, gasping for a moment as they tried to regain their lost breath. Their eyes flickered between the people gathered around the lifeboats, and the sky. 

Was...something attacking the boat? They didn't exactly feel qualified to seek out what it was, especially if it was big enough to shake a giant boat. 

[quote=Hagan]"... The fuck was that?"[/quote]
He took the words right out of their mouth. They continued to gasp a moment, the shock of slamming into the railing making them dizzy. 

[color=LightSteelBlue]"Is...is everyone...okay?"[/color]
