HELLO TURTLELINGS.

Remember a few months ago, when James was like, "We should build a boat," and people mocked him, as they generally do?

Well guess what, unlike his previous attempts to totally be helpful and in charge, this one is TOTALLY HAPPENING. We're building a boat, guys!

Okay, no, seriously. What it looks like is this: I got mod approval to spend the next 3-4 months with James scavenging wood from the wreckage the satellite made, and from anywhere else he can find it, and building a sea-worthy vessel. This is an open project; anyone who wants to is welcome to join in.

Why are we building a boat? Well, because as recent events have made obvious, everyone on the turtle is dependent on the turtle. Should the turtle go under, everyone is kind of screwed. Thus, it makes sense to have a boat.

Now, obviously, this first boat won't be big enough to save everyone. The immediate danger has passed, and that would be a gigantic undertaking. At some point, James imagines a ship large enough to rescue all the foreigners and maybe the Kedan, too. Or even his own fleet. But for now, this boat is more a "proof of concept" boat than an actual Ark. Of course, once it exists, that opens the door to potential exploration and also potential commandeering, which, ngl, I'm pretty psyched about.

So how about it, who wants to build a boat? IC post to this effect to follow!

I think Westley would make a fine construction lad for the boat! He wouldn't dream of utilizing his insider knowledge for any, let us say, commandeering that may or may not occur at future points*! He can offer hard work and creepily accurate insider knowledge of the assorted parts of a period ship. (What, you didn't want hidden smuggling areas for rum and plunder?)

Seriously, he would enjoy working on it. But would proooobably disguise himself with a bandana and a false accent. As you do.


*potential commandeering hilarity only with OOC permission of course, since I'm not nearly the dastardly scoundrel Dread Pirate Westley is! :D

Oh my god. ILU.



Bart can unintentionally help with this. He build whatever hidey-holes Westley needs. Just make it sound like it has an official real purpose. He can have it done before Norrington can figure out that it's a secret compartment/passage/whatever.

Arthur is so in on this. He's never actually built a boat but he knows a lot about boats (and all sorts of Atlantean construction methods and waterproofing methods that could be applied to a ship possibly) and he likes boats a lot. :V

This kid is on offer, as he's good with building stuff. But he might speed the process up too much and annoy Norrington.

LMFAO wow, Norrington, you went for it yourself after all!

Javert's currently in a bad spot but he'll probably drop a note at some point. And possibly encourage toward duplicating the ship several times to get a fleet big enough to hold the entire turtle. :|

Wally here'd be helpful with the construction. He's very good with his hands, a quick worker, and he has a decent amount of mechanical/physics knowledge for his age.

Lex miiiiight help, but that will be later when he sees something actually in action and if he ever stops thinking the boat is going to sink and just kill them all. For now, he'll be poking his head in sometimes because it's interesting!
