So! Uh. Hi, everyone.

Question for the masses.

[Bennett fidgets a bit with his communicator, fingers audibly shuffling up the side and back down.]

If, if I haven't met you yet, my name's Bennett Marrow. I was a professor and researcher, back home. I-- I had a little bit of a second job, too.

[Evasive, but he's getting to it.]

Um, my question is kinda... multi-part, bear with me here.

So, we've-- we've been here for a little while, some of us longer than others, and, uh. I'm, I'm always looking for ways to understand the world around me. Aaaaand, uh, obviously, there's-- there's a lot to understand here. So, if anybody has any information about the nature of the Black Tide, or-- or, the previous ship that I've heard about, the MS Elegante-- could you please contact me? I would love to interview anyone who would care to step forward so we all have a log of information about our, uh, houseboat. Boat-home. This will not be confidential and I will be happy to share it with anyone who needs it at any time.

Also, on the, uh, confidential side of things. I, uh-- I know there are some other nonhuman and supernaturally-inclined beings-slash-people on this boat. If you need any help-- if you need anything, please let me know, okay? I'm-- I'm never going to tell anyone, but I know how-- h-how terrible it feels to try and find the help you need all alone. I'm, I'm a werewolf myself. I, I ran into a few of you last weekend.

I used to run a network for the supernatural crowd so I could bring help to anyone who needed it. I might not have all the tools I used to, but I know I can build that network here again.

[He sighs and runs his hand through his hair, fiddling with the communicator again.]

This-- this got kinda long. Sorry, everyone. Anyway. Um, I'd normally tell you to meet me at my room if you didn't want to talk over the network, but, uh, it's-- it's flooded entirely right now, so I'm, uh-- you can find me in the back corner of the shopping area. I've made a little, uh, cave.

Hit me up if you need anything. This is, is, B-bennett Marrow, signing off.

[Hound knows better than to openly offer information about the Black Tide over the comms - Rowe's watchful eye is ever-present over the network, and if not hers then her little watchdog Sam's; always looking out for the ingrates. He was just dropping by to tell Bennett that he should be more grateful, is all.

The blonde pokes his head into the shopping centre and keeps his thumbs hooked in his belt loops. Places like this made him nervous for Reasons, and he did frequent shoulder-checks to put himself at ease. He stayed as much in the middle of the area as he could as well, high visibility in all directions. Better safe than sorry, and boy, had he been made sorry before...

It didn't take long to find Bennett Marrow's little man cave nest, and close to the den of this self-proclaimed werewolf he was put on edge. The guy didn't sound so tough, but he was probably super jacked. Werewolf professor and researcher? Researcher of what? Supernatural creatures? Hound reckoned that you should have to be some behemoth of a man to qualify for anything in that field.

Doing another shoulder check, he spotted some lanky, gawky nerd floating around the place.

Hound squinted at the guy, leaning on some shelving.]

You admit to being a werewolf?

[Geralt kills werewolves.

He doesn't look the slightest bit amused.]

[Do you have no sense of self-preservation? Geez.]

Pretty sure that the only thing that keeps supernatural beings alive is the whole element of mystery thing.

Based on my extensive research of pop culture.

But let me know how this whole "out and proud werewolf" thing works.

[Have a pretty red head, Bennett... save for that scar from temple to chin on the right side of her face, but she doesn't ever hide it so don't let it bug you!]

I'm Talia. I was on the MS Elegante for several years and would be more than happy to share with you anything I might know. I was not nearly so involved in much of the intrigue, but I've no need to hide anything.

[She offers a smile.]

I'm also an empath. [In case you missed her big announcement about a week ago to that fact.]

[Well, hello there Bennett! Have yet another warm smiling face looking at you from the communicator.]

Hi, Bennett... I'm Alex. I just got here and unfortunately don't know anything about this place or the other one you mentioned... First time I've ever been magically whisked away onto a boat, actually.

But, about the other bit... [His flirtatious smile eases, but the one that remains looks happy and there is an undeniable quality of relief in his tone.] I'm a Wereleopard... It's a bit of a relief to find out there's someone else on board. [Someone that would understand the 'furry' side of life and that wasn't afraid to talk about it.]

[Lily has been avoiding Bennett because, y'know, she ate him on the Golden Shore, but... She can't avoid him forever.]

I know lots about the MS Elegante. I lived there for a looong time.

[Two years is long when at the time you'd only been conscious for four.]

And I'm human. Totally human. Like... entirely.

[Nick is quite certain everything else Ben had just said was very important and when he's had a chance to calm down, he will go back through this post a little more carefully. For now though, his brain's zeroed in on "I'm a werewolf."]

That was you?!

[This is so terribly embarrassing.]

Well, I'll gladly tell you what I can about the Elegante. If you'd like to do this face-to-face, I have a pad of paper I carry around I can write on.

Ah, what's a 'werewolf'?
