You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it enjoy the view.

Re: In Deep Darkness, a Monstrous Glow (Sabbo)
OoC: Heh... sorry that I hadn't posted yet; I had no idea it was up yet.
BiC: "Hmm... so the void can be used for travel between places anywhere, huh..." Tera had been experimenting, and after figuring out what seemed to be most of it, the void no longer seemed so weird. Figuring that there must've been a reason for the Dome to exit to the port town, Tera returned, but with nothing as a lead, she just walked the streets.
In her aimless walking, Tera had found herself at the town's port. Although the salty air was refreshing, Tera's mind was preoccupied with the conversation she was overhearing.
"What do you mean it's full? I paid a good five-hundred jumi to get on this boat!" An athletic man without a shirt yelled.
"I mean exactly that: it's full. And if you don't like it then you take it up with the captain," a tall man in striped clothes said.
"Fine then, bring him out he-"
"Her. But I can't; she's busy."
"Then you can't stop me getting on," the shirtless man said as he walked up the gangway.
Tera, knowing that such an action was unfair and likely illegal, decided to stop the man by jumping through the fresh salty air from the pier to the boat, standing in front of him.
"But I can." Before the man could react, Tera already had her staff out and swinging.
"Wh-?" The man got knocked into the water below.
When Tera returned to the pier, the tall man was very grateful. "Young miss, thank you so much; that man has been bothering our crew for some time. If there's anything I can do for you, you only need to ask."
Tera looked at the man, glanced at the town, and then at the ship. "I want to go on this ship."
The man paused for a moment. "I- I'm sorry, but you know I can't do that."
"Oh, don't worry, I won't get in the way; I'll even sleep on top if there's no room below."
"Sorry, but we've got a number of people sleeping on the deck too. Not to mention the fact that crew members need room to move around at night as well as during the day."
"The deck? No, I meant even higher. You see that top bit of the boat? I'll be up there. Oh, and I'll be getting on whether you like it or not."
"Ugh... I guess. Just clear it with the captain first. Tell her Nethal paid for you."
Taking this in, Tera boarded and a couple of hours after Tera had gotten the okay, the ship left the port, and the air still smelled fresh.
OoC: For the people who are unaware, this takes place in Tera's continuity shortly after she first talked with Raven in the Dome.
And sorry for this thing being both short and mostly dialogue; I'm in a creative slump at the moment. :|
