《Sad Water Sailors (Horror-adventure)》Complicados
Advertisement
Wiliam and Ron were eating on deck, watching the sailors around them for any anomalies.
But luckily for both of them, the effects of the bar were really powerful and no one felt sad about yesterday... Or today.
"How bad are we?" Dima asked, as she enjoyed the food.
"We get out alive... We always get out alive" Ron replied forcefully.
"But today, how many did we lose?" Dima insisted again.
"We lost 8 guys, 6 confirmed suicides, 2 missing that probably went overboard" Wiliam said, quite upset at the amount of losses on this trip.
"Fortunately, they are not yet complicated numbers" Dima commented, trying to cheer Wiliam up a bit, he knew that the captain had not eaten the bar.
"One of the lost, if it's complicated" Wiliam commented, taking a drink from the bottle in his hand.
"We're not complicated, Wiliam, stop being silly..." Ron commented, somewhat annoyed.
"Losing the helmsman is a pain in the ass, but he doesn't kill us, you're just going to have to get out of the cabin and get to work"
"This ship only needs 10 people per shift to sail normally, at the moment we can still do more than one shift" Ron added, preventing Wiliam's depression from lowering the morale of the listening ears on deck any further.
"But there are no more men for a night watch, the cooks are cabin boys, and he won't see any more time to rest" Ron said in a louder voice, so that everyone could hear him indirectly
"From now on it will be work, eat and sleep, until we touch port"
"If the wind is in our favor, it's just another measly month of travel, if things go wrong or there's a storm, it's 2 very heavy months"
"But there is plenty of food and plenty of water, after losing so many people" he finished explaining to Dima, or rather, to everyone who listened for Dima.

"And the sirens...?" Dima asked somewhat nervously and in a lower voice.
"The situation with the sea beasts is already under control, yesterday we managed to get on the safe route again" Ron lied softly, using information from Lucas "...but we're going to put on a show when we finish eating to boost morale"
"In fact I require your help Dima, how Paulo died the second most religious you are, so you will lead the farewell ritual" Said the Captain.
"It will be an honor to guide the boys to alleviate their sorrows" Dima replied without hesitation.
"But only towards Tusha, I don't want the Pantheon in my ritual..." Add Dima
The captain just nodded without much concern, it didn't really matter if the human gods helped them by having a protégé of the Galleon on the ship.
"But why doesn't the initiate of the sea goddess do it?" Dima asked with some doubt.
"Deep down we're putting on a show, we don't want to offend anyone, doing something serious without need" Ron answered quickly without letting the captain speak.
Luckily, the new lookout swallowed his excuse.
Ron had no doubt that this boy was more related to the Galleon than to Tusha, but Lucas had to lie or he would be killed without hesitation, no sailor would save someone who idolizes sea beasts. Except for Ron, who had offended the god and wanted an apology from him.
The doubts had been there for a long time, but both he and the captain agreed to keep their mouths shut and continue with the trip, they couldn't offend the Galleon anymore and throwing their initiate overboard was really asking for shipwreck.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
