16th Wave

[tentacruelest]

So it would appear that your Capt. William Bush is not the lazy, rotten imbecile he'd have yeh believe. When push comes to shove, he gets his job done. I'm done with the damned Barge for good. Hang the lot of yeh, I don't care. As far as I'm concerned, you all deserve each other.

An' the next one of yeh who wants to mention tentacles to my face, I warn yeh that aye; I have regained the strength enough to kill a man in one blow.

I'll see this ship out to the end of the month and be on my way at earliest convenience.


[Private to Sylvanas]

My lady, I didnae expect this to be so soon. I won't trouble you for forgiveness. Ask anything of me and it will be done.

[Private to Dean]

Winchester. I expect you're purring like a cat right now.

[exnihilo]

No, I'm not.

Where will you go?

[private]

[tentacruelest]

Back home. Back to the sea.

[private]

[exnihilo]

[A breath in, a breath out, sobering a little.]

I used to love the sea.

[It's the only she knows about who she was before. They only thing she's ever remembered. She sounds wistful, melancholy.]

[private]

[tentacruelest]

Aye. There's nowhere else I belong, no place I'd rather be. It's home.

[private]

[exnihilo]

I'm glad you get to go home, then.

[A smile tilts her wistfulness; she doesn't have any home she can remember, but she's glad for him.]

[private]

[tentacruelest]

I'm....I ain't glad, I don't particularly like home. But I'm satisfied t'be doing the job that needs doing.

[private]

[exnihilo]

[She wants that.]

How do you know what jobs need doing?

[private]

[tentacruelest]

It be the same job I did for a decade an' ignored for a century. Job description hasn't changed.

[private]

[exnihilo]

How did you come to it?

[private]

[tentacruelest]

I was asked to do it. By th' goddess of the sea.

[private]

[exnihilo]

It's weird. To think of a god asking.

[private]

[tentacruelest]

It didnae matter. I would have done anything for her.
