[So, shortly after the latest shuffle, Opal is making an effort to find the rest of the crew members to bring something up with them.]

So, uh. I just checked, and apparently our captain is gone? Which sucks, but it brings me to an important point, which is that I want it.

[This can, naturally, in no way go wrong.]

[Oh, look, Crowley is even vaguely looking in her direction from his chair. Such effort. ]

As a former captain of the great and glorious SS Shitbucket, I say go for it. I mean, if you've got your little heart set on trying to captain this future derelict horror movie setting, you might as well.

I mean, so far from my perspective it's required zero actual leadership, and I get a bigger room. Seems like a win-win situation to me.

And a bigger bed, that's an important one. Of course, it's pretty cushy until an actual threat happens to the ship. [He makes gun-fingers. Ptshoo. ] And then suddenly you're responsible to make sure no one dies horribly.

And then I'll have the authority to tell someone else to help handle it.

[RIP Pathstone.]

Never have I ever been more grateful for my immortality.

It's probably fine. I'm predicting a very small chance of imminent doom.

True, we haven't really had any doom for quite some time now.

Yeah, exactly.

[She pauses for a moment.]

Okay, now let's stop talking about this immediately before we jinx it.

[He flashes her a sharp-toothed grin, followed by a rather jaunty salute. ]

Aye, Captain Opal!

[Of course he's going to be a little shit over this, but of course. ]

Don't make me use my ill advised authority to make your life more obnoxious than it already is.

Oh, I would heartily love to see you try, but I wouldn't want you to put your back out or anything.

Pretty sure I'm safe from that. I'm not old and frail like some people I could mention.

[He sniffs, examining his fingernails. ]

You shouldn't talk about Nightingale behind her back, it's rude.

Better hope she doesn't hear you, or you are absolutely getting set on fire. Fair warning.

That's fine, I'm not flammable at all.

Never doubt her ability to make it work somehow, man.

True, she is freakishly determined when she wants to be.

Sleep with one eye open, and all that.

Can never be too careful.

Is that a challenge? That sounds like a challenge.

[where did she even come from]

[It's creepy, Nightingale. Super creepy. ]

I'm sure you'll take it as one regardless.

[:(]

Not at all. I do have other spells to practice.

There you go, then. Much more important things to do than try and set a demon on fire.

[should she clarify what she meant

probably not]

Most important thing right now is to make sure Natalie gets the captain position, really.

Can't argue with that. I don't think anyone here is planning to beat her to the post, there. I have no interest in it, and I doubt Felix does, either.
