he's probably fine.

Who: Mikleo
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Huntress!
When: Now, basically

[You know what's great about being a seraph? Never getting sick. You know what's not great about being a seraph? Having zero frame of reference for what being sick is like when you experience it for the first time. And after a month of quietly enduring and/or ignoring it, despite being a water elemental trapped on a planet full of poisonous water, it's finally caught up to him.

It doesn't help that this realization comes hand in hand with the fact that he's been upgraded to captain, apparently, which is as nonsensical a decision as he's ever heard from the Atroma. The one perk - besides the sudden lack of malevolence on the Huntress due to Greed's departure - means that he now has a big bed to curl up and be miserable in.]

I have a few questions.

is there some sort of guide for captain's duties? for those who lack experience.

also:

how do you tell whether you are dying or just sick

[...Those questions should probably have had a completely different priority, but whatever. He's too sick to be bothered.

He makes an attempt at sending this out as an anonymous communication, but he's a bit too light-headed and bleary-eyed to pull it off, so it probably doesn't work too well. He still doesn't show up on camera, so there is that.]

If... you're not opposed, there is one thing. Embarrassing as it is for a water seraph to ask, I could use more water.

[bythewaves]

[ A quick smile ]

I would not offer if I did not mean it. Of course - would it be safe enough from the ship's kitchen?

[nerdeology]

I hate to say it, but the ship's water is the safest I can get right now. At least it's clean.

[bythewaves]

Then I will be back shortly.

[ And off he goes, to return with a jug ]

There now - I wish I had some lemon, perhaps, to squeeze into it, but at the least, as you say, it is clean.

[nerdeology]

No, this is fine. Thank you.

[Mikleo helps himself, chugging down an entire glass and a half before he speaks again.]

I'm sorry... I've been rude, I never gave you my name. It's Mikleo.

[bythewaves]

Ah! [ Maglor blinks and a wry smile quirks his lips ] That is true - well met, Mikleo - unless you would prefer Captain?

[nerdeology]

[Ugh.]

I really do not.

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor huffs softly in amusement ]

Just Mikleo then, I will remember. Will you be well enough until we leave?

[nerdeology]

I'm not going to be very pleasant to be around, but I'll manage. I won't let myself die that easily.

[Contrary to the initial entry that prompted all of this. Just ignore all that.]

[bythewaves]

[ So young! Maglor suppresses the urge to reach over and ruffle insubstantial hair ]

I am glad to hear that! If you need anything - feel free to call for me. Tis unlikely I am going to be doing much beyond exploring at any rate.

[nerdeology]

[Don't even think about it, buster.]

There isn't much to see, anyway. Thank you, though, I'll remember.

[For all his misery, he is sincere about this. One should never discount new allies.]

[bythewaves]

[ Aye aye captain~ ]

For you, perhaps not! But this is all new to me. Either way - I will leave you to your rest, Mikleo.

[nerdeology]

Much appreciated. Good luck, if you venture out.

[He'll be content to stay the heck out of that mess, thanks.]

[bythewaves]

Thank you, Mikleo. I will let you know of anything that I think you might enjoy.
