((Um, pretty sure that's the job of the navigator/lookout, but i dunno))

(Well what if you were lost in the air with no sense of direction, and the compass isn't being helpful?)

((if they're doing their job correctly, they wouldn't be lost, and there's always other ways of navigation. you do realize that pirates of ye olden days used multiple methods of navigation, correct? like the sky?))

(We cant use the sky because we're in the sky)

(uh. Yes, we can? The ship is not literally flying in the stars, and that's what a lot of sailors and navigators used to use and sometimes still do. We can still use the fucking sky)

(My bad, Im just trying for my character to be more than a hot chick who drinks and make her somewhat useful)

(M'kay. So the idea for an addition to the navigational system is great, that's not what we're going "???" about. The thing that we're going "???" about is that your invention literally destroys a massive part of Carsyn's job, and a good part of Andre's as well. A navigational supplement, like a secondary device possibly to help in the case of thick clouds or fog would be great, esp. if it was something that could specifically help Carsyn. But the device you settled on is one: too advanced for the time period and two: renders Circe's character pretty much useless)

(I fixed it to where its now a 1800s verison of a fog light)

(Much better, thank you)

The cook's gaze stayed staring at Andre listening intently before looking around the area then the controls. Rael chuckled along giving a little nod. "Such a role comes with a great responsibility and a specific set of skills, I suppose.", he smiled,"You, my dearie, are doing a marvelous job though, even if you're on autopilot." Using his right hand, he gently rubbed Andre's back before giving a light pat.

In the corner of his eye, he noticed someone else. His eyes weren't the best even in certain lighting. Rael placed a foot back to turn and get a better look. "Oh hey Carsyn.", he gleamed before inquiring,"Is something wrong, sweetheart?"

Andre smiled a bit. "Thanks, Rael. But hey, I couldn't do this without an excellent cook." he glanced up, eyes landing on Carsyn. "Did you see anything, or are we in the clear still?" he raised his eyebrows for a moment before having to return his attentions to the panelling, to the controls before him.

Carsyn smiled at Rael and offered a small flick of her fingers in greeting. Once Andre turned towards her, she inched further into the room and skirted around the cook, trying to leave as little water in the men's way as possible. She waited until Andre could see her again before quickly flashing a thumbs up, indicating an all-clear for now. It was like a dance between them, with their corresponding jobs. The thrum of the ship around her in this room and the meticulous way Andre moved around almost soothed her. The sounds—they weren't the booming of thunder.

Andre nodded a little bit, returning the thumbs-up and flicking a few of the controls. "Go dry off before you catch a cold, Carsyn." he said. Not firmly, just in a gentle manner. More of a suggestion than an order. "We don't want you getting sick, now."

At that reminder, Carsyn's cheeks colored a rosy pink, and she ducked away to find a means to dry off to do just that. She searched around the room and finally found a discarded and relatively clean towel, then used it to scrub the water from her hair and clothes. Once she was dry enough to not be in danger of catching a cold, as Andre had so kindly warned her against, she hung it up and came back over to pat the man's head in thanks.

Andre smiled up at her at the head pat, then went back to his work. He used the compass and map to ensure they were still going in the right direction, still headed just for the port that the captain had intended for them to go to.

Allison heard something off. It wasnt very bad, but it still needed to be fixed. She went over to fix it.She fixed it really quickly.

Jax carefully climbed down the mast, with a few near-death experiences. She sprinted into the control room, soaked to the bone.
"Anybody have a towel? I gotta dry off, or I might catch cold, and that can sometimes lead to a fever. Fevers aren't good."

(honestly idk what to do with my character rn lol)

(Same)

"Oh, well an excellent cook needs excellent people to cook for.", the cook added. He glanced back at Carsyn giving her smile and slight head bow. Carefully, he took a few steps back making sure that he did not get in her way.

Rael just stood still in the spot he was in; he wasn't sure if Carsyn or someone else would come over. He didn't want to be a bother or in the way. Staying silent, he listened to the storm outside before running footsteps came closer to the control room. Seeing Jax completely drenched was sort of a surprise, although the cook wasn't sure who to expect. His hand went to his pocket where the pink rag was, but then he remembered that it's covered in sweat. Rael nodded,"Fevers aren't good at all, although Rainy would help with that. There's a few towels in the kitchen if you want to use one."

Rainy wandered from her post back onto the main deck, but quickly withdrew because of the storm. She instead headed for the control room, knowing that most if not all of the crew would have gathered there once the rain began to fall. She decided to stop in the kitchen first and make a few mugs of hot chocolate and coffee, hoping to lift their spirits a little. She hoped Rael didn't mind her rummaging in his kitchen.

She made it to the control deck and held out the tray with the mugs on it. "Coffee and hot chocolate, anyone? Don't let the storms get you down!"

Andre blinked as Jax and Rainy joined them. "Well, I suppose that's true." he said in response to Rael. To Rainy, he said, "A coffee would be lovely, thanks." he reached out when Rainy came close enough, taking a mug of coffee and blowing on it to cool it down.
