Update was going to be tonight, but I now have a massive headache and am in need of sleep in order to make a quality post. Everyone is going to get a 3 day extension on posts to account for the lateness. Computer trouble last night and then an abundance of French homework made today's schedule less than ideal. Post will be up in less than 12 hours.

The Port of Tortuga: April 4th, 1719 - 3:37 PM Local Time


Alisanne chuckled a bit, not returning Edgard's kiss. She merely remained still, allowing him to indulge himself in the moment, before her gaze swept around the Twelve Daggers. There were still a few members of the crew who drew breath, most of them huddling in corners and looking at Edgard with horror. They had already watched one man turn to ash today--this was just the next thing in a line of insane events. And with Édouard died, their loyalty was then to Edgard, the man who they seemed to believe to be responsible.

"Kill them all," Alisanne whispered, staring at the crew with dead eyes. "We have work to do."

For Sirena, it seems her luck has not held out. While there was no immediate sign of something wrong, a gnawing hungry is building within her. As soon as she becomes aware of it, it'll become unbearable. No food or water will satisfy it, but with each passing moment, Sirena becomes more and more hungry. It's as if a switch has flipped in her brain and as she steps amongst the bodies of the dead, they may not appear appetizing but...there's something about them. Almost as if entranced, Sirena will find herself drawn to the corpses, helpless to fight the hunger--a hunger that consuming blood can only fulfill.

Harlianne's eyes continue to have more and more of a distant look to them. If she's noticed Sirena's new cravings, she hasn't said anything. Instead, the Bellona captain walked to the edge of the ship shakily, gripping the edge tightly. Her knuckles turned white and Harlianne trembled, trying desperately to remember something. She drew her cutlass and turned to face Sirena.

"Who the bloody hell fire are yer? And wot the bleedin' divvy 'appened 'ere, then, eh?" Harlianne shouted, a mist appearing to cover her eyes. There was no more shakiness in her movements.

The Devil's Triangle: April 4th, 1719 - 3:32 PM Local Time


The cool water seems to rush up to meet you. It's an uncomfortable experience, passing through it. It's like the chill on a cold day, stuck inside of you. There's no warming yourself up until you drop through, ending in what appears to be a cavern of sorts. In the middle, two sleeping forms lie with their hands entwined. It becomes obvious immediately, somehow - they're not dead. They're alive. And they're here, on this island.

Find the flask.

That urge continues to drive you forward, your each and every action. It's not hard to find it. Behind the sleeping pair, a small vial calls to you. Isaac rushes towards it and reaches his hand out, excited to cease his prize. His fingers may contact with it as his body solidifies, becoming more and more real, more and more alive...

...until it begins to fall apart, piece by piece, bone by bone. There is no blood, strangely enough. A pile of bones surroundings the flask, but a moment later, they have turned to dust. And in another minute, even the dust no longer appears to be present.

"Only the living can touch the flask," Septima whispered, her dark eyes alive and curious. They then fell on the sleeping couple. "We need them."
@Taro your counter has hit day 9 and you are hereby removed from the RP.

#SomethingWickedThisWayComes


Virginia continued to carry out her analysis. Oddly enough, she found the very same organs the wolf missed within its stomach, though they were human. This in itself was interesting--the balance of probability was not that a wolf would consume the same organs it would later lack. A person must have done this intentionally, along with the placement of the note. Slowly, a profile was coming together. They knew the trained tongue, so they either were friendly with the tribes or had been trained themselves. But they were also patient and had a reason to hate the Crypts.

Of course, she knew that the wolf had been fed the organs. They had been partially digested, though that in itself gave Virginia an idea. Might she be able to make an approximation of a wolf's stomach to determine how long ago it had eaten the organs? It was a novel idea, though she would need to find some solution equivalent to a stomach's acid. It was a shame wolves were not more common in England. It would have been a great aid.

Miss Evers returned, only to be sent off by Virginia once more. She had been in the middle of removing the organs, before explaining to the maid that everyone on the property would need to be interviewed as to their whereabouts that morning. Miss Evers had returned by the time Virginia was removing her gloves and making her final notes, giving her a run down of everything she had learned. Peter had gotten up as normal, had breakfast, and then went to work. Alfred responded similarly, with James insisting that he had been playing Wake the Dead until his morning lessons.

"Is that all, my lady?" Miss Evers asked, eyeing Virginia's tattered gown. "Shall I see about cleaning that?"

"No, you shall not," Virginia responded coolly. "If these people mean to end us, then we shall kill them as well." There was little other analysis that she could think of performing. She merely had to now consider the facts she had learned and see if any clues might enlighten a suspect.

Maeve declined to take Calum's hand, hoisting herself into the carriage. It wasn't the most lady like action to take, but she didn't care too much at the moment. She was peeved, enough to the extent that she didn't wish to admit her curiosity about the parson's double life. Well, the fake parson. She honestly wasn't sure what to make of him anymore and she was certain she didn't care. He was a means to an end. "If oi 'av mislead yer, Father Blair, I'm sorry. but it doesn't matter ter me who yer are, as long as dis job gets done an' oi git what's mine."

She didn't bother looking at him, instead turning her head to gaze outside the window of the carriage. She supposed she shouldn't have been too surprised that a protestant, of all people, was causing such a reaction in her. And so what if he claimed he was a father as well? She didn't have any reason to trust a single word that came out of his mouth. He could've claimed to be the King of England at this point and she wouldn't have bothered to care. If anything, she would've just become more and more disappointed.

In herself, of course.
