Kat and Liv? I was thinking about literally bumping into each other. She is free for a bit, until the Bainis starts, as she is part of the delegation of the Cult of Ladra. What do you think?

Real life decided to kick me while I am down. As such I can't start a post till this evening. With your permission Selks, can I incorporate aspects of the trip to Cuan through Selkie lands?

Feel free to - and if you need longer due to real life, do not worry. If you post tomorrow, you post tomorrow. RL is more important.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them!

Aboard the Diamantine Heart, en route to Selkie territory
0054 NVT

Domingo couldn't sleep; he had been working on a personal project while underway. When he told his father that he was coming to the Free Lands for vacation, Antonio suggested he join the crew of the Diamantine Heart; since the success of Samuel's trip onboard the lead yacht, it had been tradition for yachts of the Indomitable Spirit-class to set sail for Selkie shores to assess their seaworthiness across long distances prior to delivery. In fact, after the Unbreakable Mind made her trip the previous year, Victoria Shipyards opened a branch in the Free Lands for precisely this reason; the Diamantine Heart would be the third yacht to visit the Free Lands since then, after the Spirit of Iron and the Adamantine Soul.

Domingo was among five passengers sailing to the Free Lands; the other four were employees headed to the Selkie Branch to assist with operations. As he made his way to the deck, he saw two of the employees having a snack and some soda on the observation deck--wine was out of the question this close to Selkie waters, it seemed to him, and he was told that he would drop off by the port before the Heart made the short trip to the Selkie Branch. Overall, he expected the trip to come by without incident.


Please excuse the double post, but NVI, could you please review Rule 8 again? Thank you.
Also, if you want Victoria Shipyards to have a branch in the Free Lands, I would recommend Traverse or Wembury. Silverport is already a bit over-saturated with shipyards. We'll have to iron out the details one of these days.

We're on a trip to the lake today, so I might not be able to get a post up until the end of the day. I still need to think about what to post anyway, though.

I have a first post up. It probably isn't very good, but I thought I should get something started on the first day. Tomorrow when I'm more awake I might smooth it out and add a little dialogue between my characters.

Gladly accepted - welcome aboard, Minroz! The swords are fine.
By the way, were the two of them along for the Ride that was Operation Spartacus?

Erm no. Actually, these two belonged to the different Minrozian army divisions who did not participated in Operation Spartacus. To be more specific, Sun Lianhua is a commander of the Plain Red Banner of the Eight-Banners with Yi Tieguang as her 2IC and field commander.
