Hello, Mister Vane. I'm Bucky Barnes, your warden for the month of November. If you have any questions, problems, or would just like to chat let me know. Either through our comm devices or I'm on Level 1, cabin 7.
[ Vane plays the recording over a few times, listening to the words. by now he has gotten sceptical about the whole warden thing, given that his last one had gotten demoted. That being said there was something he wanted that this guy might be able to get him. ]
No need to be so formal. Just Vane works. Rhys, my last warden, was in the process of getting me a job but it seems like he was unable to do so. Maybe that is something you could help with.
I think it was something with maintenance. I talked to Quentin and helped him out a bit. Then again I think maybe I don't know enough about the things running this ship. It is very different than the sailships I am used to.
And yes. With sails and everything. Well, that is how we got around in those days, not any of this electricity and all that. I was teaching Ben navigation after Quentin's skill thing. Do you want to learn as well?
Yeah, why not. It is really nice and both isn't so hard and is at the same time. The basics are not very hard, that more about understanding what ropes connect to what, but the details are harder. The bits that are about understanding how close to the wind you can go, how much sail to let out all of that is... well it takes understanding and when you get that, well it is freeing.
No. And it can be freeing as fuck. At least it was for me. Are you more interested in the physical work of sailing or the more ... well navigation, reading the weather, stuff like that?
Alright. Let's start with sailing since I find it easier to teach. It is stuff like figuring out what rope goes where and stuff like that. Most ships have the same basic layout there and it is important to know that when a captain says to take in the fore stay you know what rope to pull.
