Aftermath

Creak!

Sounds of different things buckling and creaking rang out. A ship that had sustained lots of damage drifted across the sea. The deck was filled with splintered wood and the two masts showed signs of extensive damage. The white and blue pain job also showed signs of peeling.

On the ship the sun shone through a broken glass window illuminating the face of a young man with blue wavy hair.

His face twitched and his eyes fluttered for a second.

" Oughhh" he groaned awake. He pushed his body up against the slightly moist floor. His vision was a bit hazy but he managed to get himself back on his ass and look around.

Sleeping soundly in other places around the room were Belle , Will and Apathy. He looked around himself and saw that the place was a complete mess. Navigation charts , books and regular ship supplies were all damaged or needed to be replaced.

He pushed himself up against the dashboard behind him and wobbled outside. With each step he felt the wood splintering across the bottom of his shoes. They were also in relatively bad condition so he made a note to get a new pair once they reached a new island.

" Oh- Oh shit- I don't know where we are" Davie rubbed his head for a few seconds but then let it go. He didn't feel like thinking about this too much.

He walked up to both masts and rubbed his hands against them.

" This will cost me so much money...."

Davie then looked over to the front of the ship. He laughed at how the umbrella and sun lounges remained unharmed in this whole debacle.

" Hey Davie...Did we pack any food?"

Davie's eyebrow twitched for a second. He thought about it for a few seconds and then came to a realization. He turned around to the person in question.

" Will...so your telling me that for the 4th time we left an island without any food?" Will looked at Davie with puppy dog eyes.

Davie sighed and asked Will how he was feeling. He saw that Will had a few scrapes and bruises and wanted to make sure that he was ok.

" Im good , 'Mr Captain' " Will looked at Davie with a smug face.

Davie looked at him and raised his eyebrows. " My ship , Im the Captain now. You can just be our Family head like in those gangster stories"

Will looked at Davie confused. Davie sighed.

" Im the Captain of my ship. Your like our head of state like a King. The king gives orders and we fulfill them. But the king can't survive without his Vassals to help him run the kingdom. You need more than one pair of hands to build an empire. "

Will finally nodded whereas a voice rang out from behind him.

" Wow Davie finally growing a pair. It seems like it was just yesterday you were below my heels wishing you were able to return to the peace and quiet of tht musty dock"

Davie gave an awkward laugh before running away into the cabin to figure out where they were.

Will turned to Apathy and let out a sad sigh.

"Apathy You are in charge of making sure we are good all necessities. Especially FOOD!"

Apathy nodded was surprised at Will's assertiveness. Will then turned to Belle who had gotten up soon after and said.

" Belle You are responsible for monitoring any kind of deals we make with others. I have a feeling were gonna need some insurance pretty soon. "

Before Belle could respond a plank of wood attached to the mast feel down and impaled the ground a few cm away from Will. He didnt even flinch but you could see that he wasn't expecting it. Belle agreed to Will's terms and conditions.

" Finally once we've figured out where we are. We need to find a good shipwright to fix this ship. And Apathy since you have nothing to do at the moment figure out what Rafael was talking about with that Domain stuff"

She nodded but the something peaked her intrest.

" So Will, what will you do?"

Will looked at her and gave a mischievous smile.

" Im gonna go....FISHING"

Both Apathy and Belle fell to the floor in shock.

" Im joking *stomach noises* partially...Im gonna do some cleaning of the deck and our rooms. Apathy im sorry but your room is not gonna be cleaned. "

Apathy looked surprised and said. "Why not?"

" Those dolls have eyes" Will said with a frightened expression.

"...All dolls have eyes..." Apathy responded plainly.

A long silence ensued...
