Does anyone here happen to know anything about the sea? I was born far inland. Oceans are unfamiliar to me.

[ OOC: this is bariyan's incredibly subtle attempt to lure in people who can help him out on making this United Earth trip happen! and anyone else who wants to come along B) ]

Oh yeah, I can totally build ships! And heck yeah am I interested! I only spent the last eight months of my life working on mine before I got here. I'm dying. [Okay, not really, but he missed his ship and doing things so he was doing what he could to keep himself busy.]

Whatever's fine, don't mind not getting a ton. Besides, we're getting paid to be here, you know? Not like I need a ton of money. [And he was also used to living on the run, so he almost felt like royalty here.]

[ HEH. Leo's enthusiasm is almost contagious. ]

All right. I will see what I can do for you in terms of compensation, then.

I don't think you'll be required to build an entire ship. I've found one, it just might be in need of repairs. I can take you to see it.

[You get him going on machines and he can't help but be enthusiastic.]

Oh, sweet! That's almost even better. Yeah, I totally got this! What sort of work done do you want, though? Weapons, canons, traps....we talking that sort of thing?

[stonefaith]

No, we just need it to float. Sail. [ DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT BOATS DO. ]

Though I won't object if you think those things are necessary.

[morsecodes]

I can do floating.

Haha, well it'd be necessary in my book. Not sure in yours, though. Whatever you want me to do, though, dude.

[stonefaith]

I will see then. [ Or more likely, ask for Roslyn's opinion instead, since she probably knows more than he does.... ] But getting it through the water will be the first priority.

I'll contact you in a few days then. May I know your name?

[morsecodes]

Sounds like a plan! I'm Valdez. Leo Valdez. [He's laughing, because he thinks he's so clever with his James Bond joke.] Just lemme know when you need me, bro, and I'll be there!

[stonefaith]

[ Unfortunately CLEVER JAMES BOND JOKES are totally lost on this guy. Keep trying, though!! ]

I'm Bariyan. And I will. Thank you for agreeing to help.

No problem! Building things is my thing. Just glad to help.
