[Action]

[LUCETI, HO FARE THEE ON THE HIGH SEAS TODAY? Because Melaka the Sailor is having a grand ol time. Aboard her mighty ship she is bound to islands and countries unknown in search of fame and fortune to make a good name for herself now that she has discovered that this is the true route to making your dreams happen! And she is doing this-!

...Well in actuality with her piercings back in place (and a few new bits of jewelry on her over the course of the day, such as silver bracelets and such) she is in a wagon which she is "sailing" all through town, going to various "islands" (houses) and "lands unknown" (buildings and shops) or "countries" (community buildings) to go exploring and looking for her fame and fortune. She might encounter numerous monsters or challenges or the like along the way, but it sure promises to be a fantastic adventure.

Why don't you guys get involved? ...Or question why she's standing on a wagon with an oar pushing it on the ground to go around town if you want to not be sucked into the tale. Both work. Just know she is armed just in case]

Oh, I know. Believe me. At least the fame, if not always the fortune. Are you lookin' to hire on any hands?

Would but- not sure I got the fortune to pay 'em yet.

What if you plied 'em with expectations and rum? They might work for free, like, expecting big rewards in the end.

That to say you'd work for that, Captain? I like advances.

I think "work" is far too strong a word for what I'd be willing to do for you, but, aye---that's the general idea.

Deal, let's grab that sail.

[And she steers - with the oar - to head towards the item shop. Yes, do doubt she can find one there]

[And for the second time she gets this look, but Jack follows along gamely.]

It shall have to be a mighty big sail to carry this vessel, methinks.

Yeah, have to be. This girl's pretty robust.

I'm thinking a large tablecloth will probably do it. And a broomstick.

Dunno, would the tablecloth keep 'er steady?

Steady enough, I'll wager. [For a wagon being steered by a completely delusional girl, that is.] Wait here; I'll fetch you the supplies.

[It wouldn't take long to dash into the shop and locate a tablecloth and a broomstick and possibly LOTS of duct tape.]

[But-! She wanted to adventure too :C Oh well, crew is supposed to do stuff for the captain, right? It only is fitting, putting it like that!]

[Well no one was keeping you out there, Melaka. If you're captain you don't take orders from crew, and if you're crew you don't take on command. Eventually the man reappears with the necessities.]

Going to have to rig this up, aren't we.

That's tape- right? [And she'll take the tape now, as well as the broom. she actually gets off the "ship" to do this, trying to set it in place at the base of the wagon]

Sticky stuff. Works wonders! Does anything! [Jack actually stands back so he can see how she sorts this out.]

[...Hm.

Well then. She'll just get to jabbing the broom handle into the wagon and wrapping the tape around]

[This strategy makes a lot of sense, actually.]

And where shall you mount the cannons?

Prob on the sides, right? Maybe 'round the edges.

Aye, possibly that'd work. They're just heavy things, are cannons; wouldn't want to see your vessel keel over.

[...] Sure we can find some light or small cannons.

Might have more luck with a trebuchet, actually: less chance of you exploding in flames. Need a hand?

[The tape is set and she thinks the broom is in place so she shakes her head.

But then she lets go of the boom's handle, causing it to topple over a bit]

...Guess so.

You hold it steady, I'll tape?

[Jack climbs up to see what he can do.]

[Nods. okay, she holds it steady.]

Maybe we oughta wrap it 'round the bottom?

Good thinking, lass.

[Jack will do his best to secure it while she holds it. It's not going to be perfect, and it might not take much to knock it over, but it's not so bad by the time he finishes.]

There. That's actually quite shipshape, that is!
