[The broadcast starts at an odd angle, the page filled mainly with Kairi's face, behind her a mast, a sail and a patch of blue sky.]
Ahoy there!
[She can't say anything else for a moment, stalled by a fit of giggles.]
Hello, it's Kairi, heh, Captain Kairi. I've claimed this ship as my flagship.
[The view whirls sickeningly, showing the lake,

Course she should know better; she likes Malkus which should have been a big flashing "KEEP YOUR DISTANCE" but Tammy isn't always as smart as she wishes she were.
When she spots him near the lake she heads over to join him, just managing to catch what he's said, and she initially wonders if he's talk to himself...except oh, there's his journal.]
Yo ho Doc.

Greetings, Miss Sable! What brings you out here? Happy to see you're still well.
[He turns his attention back out to the lake, trying to squint to keep his eye on the ship in the distance. Also to make certain no large tentacles shoot out of the water and cause trouble.]

[She moves to stand beside him and crosses her arms over her chest, tucking her own journal under one arm.]
That whole handcuff thing...were you okay through that?
[Because she didn't check her journal that day, and hasn't gone back to look through and see. She brings one hand up to rub at her temples.]

[He turns his head a bit, glancing at the area of her head that she's rubbing.]

[She glances back at the lake, squinting a bit....what's that out there?]
What brings you out here, anyway?

Ah, either way. Yes, the matter at hand.
[He extends his arm out, towards the lake.]
A young girl has managed to make her way onto a ship that was once... And still is, mine. Or well-... Jack's. But I'm part of its crew! I am trying to devise a strategy to get it back without disturbing the monsters that sleep beneath the waves...

[Tammy can feel it coming. Like cold clammy hands rubbing all over her aching brain, so she starts speaking quickly, as if it might help stop what's coming--not Malkus, no, not him--]
I might let you try that. I mean, it might help, and I gotta say I'm not sure I relish the idea of trusting a doctor this place would actually hire, you know? Maybe if she's the one that reattached your head or something, but I mean, they could try and slip me drugs or something and the next thing I know I'm missing a kidney and floating in icy bathwater--
[--it didn't work before so why would it now, please just let it slide, he didn't even say the right trigger words--]
You wish you could get the boat safely back to shore?
[Tammy wishes she could scream but it's no longer her mouth.]
Reply
[He's cut off by her sudden interruption. He responds with a bit of a laugh.]
Well yes! I do very much wish I could do so, safely. Unfortunately, unless I develop quite the fondness to water, I shall need to see if there is one more row boat in the shed there.
Reply
Ah, but what would you give to get it here safely and without having to get wet? Or a rowboat?
Reply
Oh, the question is what I wouldn't give! Unfortunately that might not happen without the intervention of one of the more magic-orientated residents of the keep...

Works for me.
[In the same moment that Tammy crumples to the ground--again, geez woman--the ship finds it's merry way to the shore near Malkus. Look! It's like magic.]
Reply
Oh, hello.
Reply
[He steps forward, staring down at Tammy with quite some concern then at the ship as it floats quickly to the shore!]
My word! Wh- How did you do this- eh... Whoever did this? Tammy? Miss Kairi? I was not aware that either of you were of the magic variety...

Nnngh.
[Yep, she's eloquent right now.]
S'me.

Kairi jumps out of the boat and into the shallows, playing at piracy forgotten.]
Are you okay?
Reply
[Malkus kneels down near Tammy, trying to observe her face for any symptoms of any known illnesses.]
I had no idea you were able to do such deeds, Miss Sable! You really ought to have given me some warning or made the consequences of your magical actions known.
[He's referring to these nosebleeds and apparent pain caused.]
