18th metal . spam . duration of flood

[ Zane keeps to the deck as much as possible. (It doesn't occur to him to use the CES, unless someone points it out.)

He balances on the railing easily, as naturally as if he was standing on solid ground. Darts along it, trying to see the bottom of the endless well of stars, if there is one. Maybe he tosses a coin out into the emptiness and Pushes it down, trying to see if it ever stops.

Otherwise, he'll be on top of the greenhouse, climbing things, staying as high as he can.

When he's belowdecks, he similarly tries to stick to open rooms and high places. Between them, he moves quickly, with the awareness of someone who is ready for attack.

He also steals bits of metal, wherever he can. Cutlery, coins. Whatever he can find. ]

[Lilith has been haunting the deck as well; she can't decide if this, her beautiful new room or the CES are her favourite place. It hadn't occurred to her to balance on the railings till she sees Zane do it, and she's immediately ashamed. That's no way for an adventuress to behave.

So she considers it for a moment, tucks Panda safely into the belt strung with pouches she found in her room, and clambers up to follow along behind Zane.

It's tricky, but she's agile and fearless, and while she doesn't move with the boy's ease, she's doing pretty well. She doesn't speak till she sees him throw a coin.]

That's going to give someone a shock when it lands on their head.

[ That she climbs up raises her estimation in his eyes. The people who are afraid of the rail, afraid of the chasm, he doesn't find as worth noticing. ] Are there people down there?

[ He can't hear anything, or see anything, even when he has tin on. ]
