[The audio feed catches the sound of waves and it is clear he is on the top deck.]

There is a reason no one travels by boat anymore. If the maiyu attacks us out here, don't ask me to help. I'm not helping.

[And that's final.]

A. What's a maiyu?

And b., on a scale of one to shit-your-pants, does it rate above or below a kraken?

[...What? Everyone has heard of maiyu. Girlie did you hit your head?]

...You do not know what a maiyu is? [Let's hone in on that, because he's never heard of a kraken and doesn't want his ignorance criticized. Hypocritical Odin strikes again.]

No, this is a pop quiz. Surprise! Hope you have your number two pencil.

[Hello sarcasm, her oldest and dearest friend.]

The harbingers of the apocalypse? What rock have you been living under?

The one called "reality." I'm going to guess you're not too familiar with it, so I can draw you a map. Help you find it. You should join us sometime.

You know, whenever. No rush.

Reality. [Scoff] Your reality sounds so much nicer than mine if you are ignorant of the maiyu.

Funny you should mention that, you just missed an attack.

If you are still floating, what attacked you was not a maiyu.

That's because we were stationed at an island for a few days due to repairs. Although, you have me curious about this 'maiyu'.

You are not getting it, my friend. There would be nothing left to repair.

[Exasperated sigh.]

Maiyu are creatures that come from the sea. They are harbingers of the apocalypse.

[Don't mind him as he chuckles a bit.]

Sounds like fun.

I'm uncertain as to what a maiyu is... [Talia tilts her head curiously, and if Odin is at all familiar with the setup of the ship yet, she's appears to be in the library.] But I can agree that being on board a vessel such as this has its downsides.

[You would totally help, Odin.]

[Second person today. Man, these people must have been living under a rock or something.]

This is impossible. Why have the maiyu not attacked?

[What sorcery are you using B| also yes, he would help. But let him have his denial, Talia. It's all he has left in the world.]

[She doesn't need empathy to pick both confusion and frustration out of that tone, mister!! She closes the book she'd been reading, setting it aside as she focuses her attention wholly upon the unfamiliar face.]

You are no longer in your homeland, friend... I doubt your maiyu can be found in this place. [Her expression and tone hold apology and sorrow.] You are here as a guest of Captain Rowe.

[Silence. Then. Laughter. oh god.]

Oh, that is funny. Thank you. I needed a laugh today.

[A beat and then Talia sighs, lips quirking in a not smile.]

Would that I could take credit for such a jest as that... [Only she doesn't sound amused. Not at all. Wait until you get the punchline, Odin... We'll see if you're still laughing.]

As an empath, I would be happy to prove to you just a slice of the truth this place has to offer. [Yes, she could make any emotion seem real, but she'd never had to and really the truth was weirder than any lie she could manage.] I would prove it to you any way within my ability... better you realize it now then later.
