She's finally sea-worthy, Percy Jackson, and she cleaned up quite nicely, if I do say so myself. May I present the lovely Calypso?

That's Percy's ship?

It's beautiful! Wonderful job.

[rankyakukaku]

It is, I've just finished repairing it!

Thank you. I had a good base to work with.

[sanctus_memoria]

You must be very skilled!

Mm, it looks like it. Percy must be very happy!

[rankyakukaku]

Well, it may be boastful to say, but I did work at Water 7's Dock One for a number of years. They're the most skilled shipwrights, and I learned quite a bit from my time there.

He seems to be! I'm particularly pleased with the figurehead, and I hope it resembles his friend.

[edes_virag]

You did it all yourself?

[rankyakukaku]

Oh, I'm afraid I can't take credit for building her from scratch-I just fixed the canon holes that sunk her, repaired the water damage, and reinforced and updated a few things on the interior. She was already a lovely ship. The only thing I can really take credit for is the figurehead.

[edes_virag]

So you took a piece of work and turned it to art? Such talent, Kaku~

It really is beautiful.

[rankyakukaku]

Oh my. Your compliments are going to make me blush. Others could have done far better, I'm sure.

Thank you, Miss Elizaveta. She's a good ship.

ooc: Oh, Percy would definitely want her smiling. Hooray! :D

[sonoftheseadog]

...it's amazing, Kaku. Thank you so much. It's perfect.

ooc: smiling it is! :Db

[rankyakukaku]

You're welcome, Percy! I'm so pleased that you like it.

[sonoftheseadog]

She's really ready to set sail?

1/2

[rankyakukaku]

Yes, indeed! Any moment that you're ready, she's prepared to leap out of port!

[lu_dao_gu_niang]

Uwah, what a beautiful ship!

[rankyakukaku]

She rather is, isn't she? Thank you kindly, I'm proud to have restored her.

[lu_dao_gu_niang]

Your must really enjoy your work.

[rankyakukaku]

I do, actually! Building model ships was even my hobby, as a child.

[chameleongun]

Beautifully done.

[rankyakukaku]

Thank you. Any endeavor worth doing needs doing well, in my opinion.

[chameleongun]

Or else why bother, yes?

ooc: orz th-that icon...it's too cute...

[rankyakukaku]

Precisely! Some people may call it perfectionism, but I say it's just being thorough.
