A man dressed in a dark, black cloak was making his way towards the docks, it obscured most of his features. The cloak has seen better days as it was threadbare, and deeply stained by several unidentifiable substances of unknown origins, the bottom of it was caked in muck, and dirt. The cloak was stitched together out bits, and bobs of cloth, what ever made up the original cloak was gone long ago. The only other features that could be made out other the cloak was a pair of tightly laced army boots that were caked with year upon years of mud, and a large fur hat that hid most of his facial features. If one was to pay close attention they would notice some bulges in his cloak that could possibly be weapons. The only facial features that could be seen was stubble bordering on the edge of a beard, and a glimpse of yellowed teeth, slightly chipped. He walked aboard the ship, and handed the captain some coins. "I'm sure you can find room on your ship for a poor beggar." The man said in a gravely voice as he coughed into his cloak as took a seat near a crate, and brought out a flask. Took a sip, and stared deeply into the bottle

"Not hugely excited, are we?", Timea asked in a light-hearted manner, having a second mouth grow on her sternum, so she could continue shining the light on Sibylla. As she spoke, however, the beam became less steady, flickering more. "Oh well. Your snake friends seem to like it, at least."
After saying this, Timea was quiet for a moment, then said, "Oh, and a grogon is what people like you are called where I'm from."

Presently
Seeing the girl seemed to be afraid of you, Timea raised her arms, and squirted water over her forearms, washing the blood from the shark off of them. She then took a slow step closer to the girl, and lowered herself to one knee to lessen the drastic height difference between herself and the girl.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you", she said, continuing to speak in a soft voice. "You can tell me what's the matter."
Aqua approached the hooded man who just boarded the ship, but kept a safe distance in case he tried to suddenly strike at her. "I don't know you, and you don't look like one of the crew."
Once everyone who was coming was on board, the ship would begin sailing out of the city. The completely still water would be moved slightly by the ship, but otherwise would be as calm as usual. During the journey, the sailors would largely be occupied by steering and controlling the ship.
The girl would move back a little bit further until she felt comfortable with the distance gap, her arms close to her body. She didn't seem to mind or notice Timea's bloody arms, although Timea might see her look up at the water squirting. It would take a brief time for the girl to muster the courage to respond to the strange woman, but she eventually did. "E-everything is. I don't know where I am, what I am, where- everyone- went-." She started to reply, but near the end she started getting upset again and nearly began crying again but managed to keep it in. It was worth noting that when she said 'What I am' she lifted her sandy hands up towards Timea with her palms also pointing in Timea's direction.
"It's about time!" Topaz exclaimed as the ship set sail.
Aqua didn't respond to the cloaked man, but seemed satisfied with his answer as she walked to the front of the ship and began scanning the horizon.

You sit near the railing of the ship, thinking back on the fight you witnessed with some jealousy. You're painfully aware that a few months ago you could have done the same, or maybe even better. But now, you're not sure if you could even fight for a few minutes without collapsing. Suddenly the weight of your prosthetic feels unbearable, and you decide to remove it. You roll up the sleeve and set to work unmaking the many straps. Soon enough, the metal and leather that replaces your lower arm falls to the deck with a clang. You sigh, happy to be rid of the burden.
Robin looked at Shara as she took off the hook, averting his eyes from the stump. "Are you alright?" he asked.
Nirvana laid herself out on the deck again, simply waiting for the call to action. She seemed extremely relaxed.

Zephyra was in her own little world, casting a look toward Shara's prosthetic as it clattered to the ground. She seemed interested, but kept from saying more as she looked away.

Hearing the girl stating she didn't know what she was, Timea looked on a bit puzzled, needing to go over the sentence in her head to make sure she hadn't misheard coming to the conclusion she understood correctly when she saw how the girl was looking at her sandy hands.
"You've been transported to another world, everyone you know is still back home", Timea stated after a moment of thinking what words to use, needing a bit of time with her having a more difficult time focusing. She then scooted closer to the girl, and said, "I'm in the same situation as you, and I'm trying to find my way back home. I could try to help you get back home, while I'm at it?" Soon after her suggestion, Timea leaned closer to the girl a little, looking to her featureless eyes. "How about it, hmm?"
At her small hmm, Timea extended her left hand towards the girl, leaving it to her to get closer, if she wanted.

[color=0066cc]"I'm alright, just needed to get it off for a while."[/color] - You say, massaging and flexing your stump. Now that it is out in the open, it's clear to see your arm was cut clean off a little more than a decimetre below the elbow. You look over towards Cybil, then say to Robin. [color=0066cc]"A few months ago, I could do stuff like that too. I got so good at avoiding that I could avoid being seen, though it was very taxing on the mind."[/color] You get pulled from your reminiscing by Jane, and you turn to reply; [color=0066cc]"I got cocky. Fought somebody very dangerous, and got my arm crushed for my trouble."[/color]
