[relance]

[Julia is sitting on her bunk in her cabin, and she's got a sketch pad on her lap. The sketchpad however is far less important that the skeletal severed arm that's resting around her neck like a bone scarf. There is no way that it should still be connected, let alone moving when Julia speaks, but hey, that's what it's doing.]

Alright assholes, let's make this short and sweet. I'm Julia. Just Julia. Not Jules, Julie or any other stupid nickname that you can come up with. Just Julia. This is Handy.

[The severed arm of Stonewall Jackson waves his bony fingers in greeting.]

Look, it's really fucking dumb that we couldn't figure out who was missing last month because we had no idea who the hell is even on the ship. Let's make this really fucking easy: say who you are, where your cabin is and who your partner is. That way if someone goes wandering off or gets kidnapped or whatever, we at least know what you fucking look like if we're sending out the search party.

[Well, that seems unquestionably an invitation! Which means Julia's going to get some affectionate chin scratches and pets. Not too many, Murmur wouldn't want to stay his welcome, but she is awfully petable!]

[relance]

[Julia’s eyes half close and she lets out a contented huff before she pulls away and shifts back into her normal self. ]

[albatrossomen]

[With the petting session clearly over Murmur moved back and stood, in another faint whoosh of wind his wings vanished again to wherever it is he keeps them hidden.]

It would seem Navi has collected some powerful allies for this trip.

[Shifters were always nice to have on hand.]

[relance]

[Julia shifts back too, and she’s naked for a second before she pulls on the oversized black t-shirt and the leggings that she had on. It’s a small thing but she’s really glad that she’s managed to figure out how to do this without ripping up her stuff anymore. ]

Kinda makes you wonder what she’s expecting us facing then.

[albatrossomen]

[Either Murmur didn't notice or simply didn't care, probably the latter. For what reason did angels have to be delicate about such things? It probably is nice to not have to replace her wardrobe every time she turns into a wolf, however.]

I do not believe Navi has any decision in the process, of course that isn't to say there is no purpose to all of this.

[Only that he doesn't think Navi has anything command over it.]

[relance]

Well that’s moderately terrorizing.

[Julia doesn’t sound terrorized, instead she sounds incredibly amused and shrugs. ]

[albatrossomen]

[He echoed her amusement.]

Wise. Whenever Fate may be playing its hand, you may be assured those caught within the threads are in for some significant... inconvenience.

[That's one way to put it.]

[relance]

Excellent. Nothing like a bit of karmatic pain in the assness, I think.

[albatrossomen]

Of course! How else would you know you were doing something for the greater good if it wasn't extremely unpleasant?

[Is he kidding? It's hard to say with how monotone he is. But there might be the faintest hint of a smirk.

He might not be kidding, but it may still be an attempt at a joke.]

[relance]

Well in my experience someone will just talk about it incessantly.

[Julia is definitely only half kidding. /small>]

[albatrossomen]

[That does get something of a quiet chuckle out of him.]

Which is worse, the prattling self-righteous, or the monologuing evil mastermind?

[Science needs to know.]

[relance]

Self righteous. At least a monologuing villain is fucking useful when they tell you their plans.

[A beat as Julia remembers Harry.]

Unless of course someone mouths off and stops them.

[albatrossomen]

You know, you have a point with that.

[Yes, he doesn't disagree.]

It sounds like there's a story to that?

[If she felt like sharing, since they didn't have much better to do right now anyway.]

[relance]

Sure is. Isn't there a story with everything?

[albatrossomen]

There always is. I would be interested in hearing yours, should you feel up to sharing.

[If not that was fine too, Murmur's not one to push when he doesn't need to.]

[relance]

Maybe at some point.

[albatrossomen]

[He huffs something of an amused sound. Alright, he gets it.]

Well, should you be feeling bored and conversational you know where to find me.

[It's not like they're going anywhere soon.]
