Has anyone here ever built a seaworthy ship before?

And, supposing that nobody has, would anyone be interested in trying?

A ship, hmm? How daring!

[the_alice]

Why do you think so?

[mustbemad]

Is it not?

I despise the water- so it's daring.

[the_alice]

Oh, of course. Cats. Can you swim, though?

Can't work with your hands, girl?

[the_alice]

I could, but a ship built by inexperienced hands isn't likely to get very far, is it?

[misterblackbird]

I don't know that anyone's ever built a ship here before, but there were some pirates--and I do mean that--who had a ship here. Why they didn't use it to sail away, I don't know. Unless, of course, it means that they couldn't.

Still, that was a ship that arrived with them, as I understand it. Building a ship is another matter.

[the_alice]

That's....more or less what I had imagined. Perhaps every time they reach a certain point it looped backward, or perhaps it simply stops the way the barrier does somewhere above our sky.

Still, building another might be worth the effort, however much time it takes.

[misterblackbird]

That seems quite possible, given what I've seen of this place. It seems a shame, given how very much sea there is around us.

[the_alice]

Almost wasteful, even, not to try for oneself that is, if one can.

[elegantcontract]

I suppose there's something you intend to do with this ship?

[the_alice]

Even if there is no escape, I should like to go farther out than mere swimming would afford me. So far it sounds as though no one here knows what is out there, much less what could be.

[elegantcontract]

That's quite the noble endeavor. I regret to say I have to experience with ships, but it does sound fascinating.

SAILING AWAY?

[the_alice]

Sailing somewhere. Hopefully. Though...not any time soon I suppose.
