It started with nine. Too big to be allowed, they chopped off two and we floundered into this sea, one by one. A different sea, the water is black. And then we drifted here, onetwothreefourfiveSIXSEVENEIGHT.
They carried one too far away testing1212.

...You alright there, kid?

[truthreader]

I'm counting. Mental arithmetic - too cold for a calculator.

[harmonixed]

...Right. And why are you counting?

[truthreader]

Important to keep track of a crew. We're expecting.

Would you like an extra coat?

[truthreader]

Been frozen before. I can be still till it melts.

[charmingthief]

I think you should take a coat then. They look like this.

[truthreader]

I've touchedseendreamt coats before. Didn't care for the mothballs. Don't you need it yourself?

I can't pretend to know just what you mean, but I certainly do agree about the weather. I'm having a difficult time of it myself.

[truthreader]

Deities seek difficulty, it's in their nature. Not opposite by any means, but still they attract.

But it's not usually like this - there will be warm before the week is out, and we'll all wish for frostbite.

Playin' with numbers again, are ya. Wei, no goin' outside in this gorram blizzard! Go pick on your brother or something if you're bored.

...What's coming? What do you see?

[truthreader]

Freezing ain't that cold. There's a numbness to it. And better to pick on Jayne.

No use in a Captain when he's missing crew. I heard one.
