"Yer pretty talky for an abomination. Considered taking up speech and debate? Might scare the other bastard into agreeing with you."
Donovan says this, realizes he forgot his pants, and runs back down to get them.

Allan stands up, with a perplexed expression as he watches the stranger zip out of the engine room. Just as the door slides shut, he hears the captain's voice filter down from above. "Aye, cap'n." he says quietly, and strolls over to the other side of the room. He steps towards the controls, an arcane construction of bells, whistles, gauges, levers, buttons, and brass, all set into the side of the main engine body. He starts pumping one lever with his left hand while flicking a few switches with the other. Just as he was about to throw the throttle back, the stranger bursts in, and both he and the engine lurch.

"Crimeny, lad, you're runnin' 'round fas'er than a hare!" he says. He looks him over and then says, "Lad, why don' ya 'elp me 'ere and go make sure th' boiler tempurachur ain't goin' over two hun'red, eh? The valves are o'er there." He points to another set of controls on the other side of the room.

The ancient one follows donovan all the way down in fury he yells "you call ME an abomination YOUR the fake surgeon YOUR idiot who forgot his pants YOU ARE THE LACK WITTED SPAWN OF A **** A GOAT AND A DOG". The ancient one bursts into the crew quarters grabs one of his throwing knives and pins the sleeve of donovan's shirt to the wall he walks up to him plucks the knife out of the wall presses it to his throat and says "NEVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN" before withdrawing the knife and going to the top deck.

The ancient one runs to the valves and watches them with practiced ease occasionally twitching and slapping himself he is writing with a strange sharpened metal stick in a book with pages made of burnished copper he snaps the book shut and the engines roar even louder pushing the ship faster he goes back to watching the valves

The first mate taps the last of his spent tobacco out in the hallways as he followed his Captain to the deck, gently placing the pipe into his shirt pocket he climbed to the top of the stairs and went out to the balcony where the Captain was already shouting orders gun in hand. He took up a place beside his Captain, arms behind his back, looking over the crew; before quickly hopping down to the deck via a ladder placed up against the balconies railing. "PUT YER' BACKS INTO TO ET' LADS!", he shouted over the mechanical of noise of the machines.

Allan returns to his work, throwing the throttle to full and opening the valves to the boiler and turbines. The engine roars in response, or maybe it was in response to whatever the stranger was doing on the other side of the engine, but Allan wasn't paying attention to him. The engine room is filled with the giddy sounds of moving forward. "Oh, arn't you feelin' frisky today?" Allan says to the engine, having taken notice of its sudden burst of energy.

The reflection of the dim lights to the black, deep, and continually unnerving ocean sparked a deep interest and a deep fear. Looking into the water out of curiosity was an interesting experience. There was always the wonder of 'what's down there?', and as you thought that, there was always a good chance something unknown, undiscovered was looking right back at you.

Jolie walked down from the banister and into the bridge where she controlled the ship for some time before they passed rocky waters and into a safer stretch of sea. From there she perused the edges of the ship watching the water whisky by, and she'd drop in to see how everyone was holding up. Busy as always, and very good for business. Jolie stood proudly on the bow of the ship looking onward. The bright lights to her back, her shadow spread out onto the sea.

Her eyes picked up the unsettled water ahead. Bubbling water, followed by a few short wakes.

"We need a gunner!" Jolie yelled loudly over the sound of washing water and the cracking down on engines. "Engineers, pick it up we've got a new obstacle to get around! Where's that gunner!?" Jolie ran back to the bridge and right to the wheel. "First Mate, you're wanted!"

Sam for that was his name when he heard there was a problem and that the engine needed to go faster he emphatically wrote a line in his book. The engine roared and started going much much faster than before he then ran as fast as he could to the crew quarters and grabbed his knives and a stone shard he had been working on and even though he hadn't been called ran to the front deck and asked "whats the problem captain"

Allan hears the call of the captain, and throws the throttle back to full. "Full steam a'ead!" he shouts. The engine suddenly starts to chug and rumble faster than he'd ever seen it before, and steam sprays through a pipe fitting near the ceiling. "Woh ther'!" he shouts, and pushes the throttle back. "Dam' thing's runnin' so fast, it'll tear itself apart..." he mutters to himself. He watches the stranger, who he still didn't know the name of, dash from his station and out of the room. "Bloody- Gagh..." he runs over to the now unoccupied station and adjusts a few valves, and then runs back over to his. He keeps hopping from station to station every minute or so, keeping the engine going as fast as he felt was safe.

Donovan, having re acquired his pantaloons, stands next to the railing, staring into the sea romantically.
"So, where are we going now? I hope its someplace sunny, not like the time we ended up in the goddam arctic."

"Sam! There you are, I need you to plot a new course." Jolie threw the map into his hands. "We're going to have to go around the Binchet Rocks on starboard side." She paused to flip a few switches and strongly change direction of the boat. "We've got something up ahead." The window of the bridge was fogging up as she stared intently at the sea, then, Don caught her eye as he just stood there. "What the... Donvan! Get your ass in cover there's something out there in the water! No, better yet, get your ass to the Gunner's station! If that thing comes out of the water I want you to pelt it!" Jolie yelled the whole time, steering. The bubbling water sent waves the knocked Jolie slightly.

"AYE FREAKING AYE"
Donovan sprints into the turret, falls in clumsily, and readies himself for whatever the captain saw.

The First Mate even in his old age was still quite the agile one, he hopped from his post and pulled a measly flintlock out right next to the gunner; maybe it was for some false sense of security, or maybe it was to put Donovan out of his misery when he inevitably takes a hit. Thomas waits patiently for ~~Furaotic to describe what the fuck it is~~ for whatever the beast could be to pop up from the murky depths.

Jolie drew the lights from the usual position to face the troubled water, now bursting and rumbling. Something shot from the water, then another, and another. Jolie's shaking finger trained onto what was coming out from the depths; Long, purple tendrils flapped about above the water. At first it was only a few, but then multiple and in bunches shot from the water until it was nearly a wall of wriggling, sharp tentacles that moved around in the air and the water feeling for its prey.

The source of the terror slowly merged from the depths, and with it came the thick smell of sulfur from the erupting water. Waves smacked into the ship as a giant form, gyrating and morphing inside of a cocoon of tentacles. Water coming off the monstrosity crashed below and with the water revealed the full form, and one giant blinking eye straight center of it. The yellow pupil, which alone was larger than the boat, frantically moved around un til it focused on the ship. The tendrils in the air hissed back like snakes, large cobras the size of missiles ready to tear down the ship.

Jolie's eyes widened, bigger than she could've ever imagined. Just what was it? The larger horrors lurked away from this close to shore... Especially ones the size of a large cave stalactite.

(I'll be controlling this Enemy for the battle.)

Sam watched the monster come out of the sea and glared perfectly still into its eye "i believe this cretin and I are acquainted if we killed it we would gain much renown and much gold" before running to his map and equipment and replotting the course. he hoped the captain would ask for advice on how to kill the thing (HINT HINT i want to help kill the thing).

Utterly Mad
