Caleb looks up at the mans voice that was saying it as Matilda. He laughed, 'Oh boy! If Arthur only could see dis!' his smile fades and is replaced by a thoughtful look. 'Hold on, am I still a man?' he began to feel his chest, then frowned.
'How's tings Matilda H?'

Matilda laughs as well when he says that “well fancy seeing you here in this dream world. I can imagine Arthur's face if he saw his girlfriend as a man with his best friend"
Her face changes to something more serious “Well apart from being in a weird dream like world and being in a different body. I'm pretty good if a little confused at what has happened”

Lili-- Well she had been keeping to herself and far away from the waters edge. She hated this, she hated being secluded to the boat and the water and....WHen the boat stopped rocking and the feeling of falling had gone Lili crept out from wherever it was on the boat she seemed to be hiding in, leather pouch in hand as she come over to the conversations end realizing that Dmitry was no longer in the body he once was. Had he disappered like Dristan had....
Just great....She thought to herself. At least there were still a few people she knew. She walked up near Jillian and Mattie watching the new comer with Curious eyes. Her eyes scan the group, eyes fixated onthe water for just a few moments and then back to the group.
"So people keep changing...We should be careful about this" She says softly. "Any of us could 'change' in an instant. Its happened twice now..."

Caleb watched the man Matilda as she spoke with a barely contained laugh in his throat. 'Sorry Matilda, It's very funny. Your a man but your not.'
'So what can I do to help?'

Mattie chuckled and shook her head. "Currently we are waiting to make port. I'm not sure what else there is to do." she looks to Lili and smiles.
"Do you think they are okay?" worry in her voice as she asks her cousin about the two.
"Who has the coin that summoned the spirit?"

“Don't apologize at all for laughing it is pretty funny the whole me in the body of a man” Matilda says back to him also trying not to laugh.
“I'm also apparently good at keeping Alicia relaxed so I've been concerned with her. As for anything else that needs doing as Mattie has said I really don't know” she says as she turns to check on Alicia.

Jillian gave Liliana a reassuring smile, glad that the girl was still herself and had not been too shook up by the boat shaking about. She still felt a little drained by whatever had summoned Babylon here and hoped there would be time to rest a little once they reached port. Considering the cities they had encountered and heard about so far, she did not have high hopes about Oxuhann though.
"Yea, I've had some thoughts on that.." she whispered, so as to not attract the 'newcomers' attention. "It looked like Pr- Your cousin willed himself awake, in the same manner that some of you have willed items about and Jeremy apparated. He did not switch bodies either, so this change is different. Do you think he might have woke Dimitry himself to help look after the two of you, not realising that Dimitry had been called here in his stead?" she pondered, it was the best explanation she could think of.
She still had Babylon's coin in her hand and held it up for Mattie to see that it was intact and whole, giving the girl a bright smile.

After the commotion of the spirit had passed, and her ethereal body had been displaced into the air. Jeremy had found himself at a loss. He had found a few exerpts relating to the cities along the pathof the river but he had yet to understand their true meaning or indeed how they could be of use. Seeing a change in Dimitrys personality would have caused an alarm to Jeremy If it hadn't been for the fact he had just seen a spirit of immense proportions, by this point he had started to assume anything was possible.
The sudden chaos when Alice put on the necklace however caused Jeremy tolook around for rope, but by the time he had found some to his own satisfaction Alice had been saved and her personality recovered slightly.
The seeing of two souls who knew eachother (that of Caleb and Mattie) caused a small feeling of joy to develop inside of Jeremy. And when the two went off about what had been happening recently he realised this really was becoming an adventure, much like the stories and fables he so often read in the books of his study. Before that feeling bore deeply into his mind Jeremy was snapped out by the fact this Caleb knew Matilda aswell! Well he thought to himself I must introduce myself to such a character aswell. But first, seeing that Caleb, and the Matildas where dancing down memory lane, Jeremy walkedtowards Jillian and Liliana. "Hello you two. You both ok? This boat ride hasn't been the most smooth has it?" He says hoping to ease the situation, a clear head allows for a clarity of thought he always told himself. " I have found a few passages about some of the cities and settlements that we are to pass. Do you mind if I show you and then you can shed light on what you think?"

Below the deck the crew thanks for the help with the cargo, they don't seem as bothered as they should be and explain that they always sleep on the vessel. She is more than welcome to take a nap in any of the hanging hammocks below deck if she is tired (which btw no one has felt hungry or tired in 2 days).
Alicia above deck seems much more calm, "Thank you, it means a lot to me to get to Bethmoora. It's the Emperor and his minions, they are around every turn and every time I travel with someone towards Bethmoora and wake up... well, when I get back they just aren't here anymore, ever. I never see them again."

Mattie's body was still sore as she stood up and tried to stretch out herself. Caleb went talking to Harrow and Jeremy went off to Jillian and Lili. Mattie looked around for Terra.
She felt bad for slapping her...him and wondered where he had gotten to. She tied her pouch of broken coins to her waist and went in search of him.
She found him below deck around some crew. "Hey Terra. Can we talk?" she asked with a slight blush to her face.

The captain shouts some commands to sailors who start hoisting sails quickly, the ship picks up pace and he says to the group, making sure those below would have a chance to hear him. "If I were you, I'd get below deck. NOW. We're coming to a section of the river patrolled heavily by the Emperor."
It's safe to assume the Captain was listening in to everything happening on his ship, he motions quickly for everyone to get below deck. Alicia doesn't need a second warning, she wiggles free and flees down below.
Off on the horizon is the outline of ports and citadels; the ship is not heading towards them but past them at a junction in the river. It is quite clear that there is Military type individuals patrolling the banks both in vessels and on the land. "That be the Poltiades, and far off there, it be the Citadel of the Emperor." The captain says as he scans the horizon, still ushering dreamers below deck.

"Poltiades? Interesting...." Jeremy says as he heads below deck. As he says that he sees a tiny red beam of light graze Alicia as she darts below deck. "Oh bloody hell! What is that?" he asks the Captain. "it looks like it is coming from all over the place, from where the patrols are!" This time Jeremy looks to the captain. "That isnt a good sign is it?" he says with a hint of worry in his voice.
Poltiades Jeremy says to himself I wonder if my book has anything of use about such a city. As everyone heads into the bowels of the ship Jeremy subconsciously ticks them off as they enter as he is very reluctant to leave anyone behind.

"Aye, it isn't a good thing. These patrols have been harassing our ships for awhile now. The emperors eyes are everywhere. If ye really bothered by it, get everyone below and stay under there until we pass by the Emperors Citadel. Don't give them a reason to come poking around the ship." He orders the crew to move the boat faster, clearly wanting to be quite too fast for a patrol vessels inspection.
"These bastards aren't getting my cargo again, they can pay or feck off."

As he descends into the ship Jeremy has a feeling niggling at the back of his mind. As if something akin to the those red beams has crossed his mind before. He sat down to think describing the shape to himself to hopefully spark some imagination. ..... they shine like cats eyes. Thats something. I havent seen anything else that shines like them.....but i have seen something that resembles a cats eye.He says to himself. " Ummm guys" He says tentatively. " Can i look at an amulet i think i may be on to something." He asks almost excitedly.

Mattie popped her head out to see what was going on. She heard the Captain speak about the emperor and her eyes grew wide at what she saw. She glanced up towards the group. A red beam hitting Alicia before she is gone and below deck. Mattie was quite nervous.
She turned back and looked at Terra/Kiami not waiting for an answer she grabbed him by the arm and ushered him below to make sure they were hidden safely with the rest of their group. When Jeremy ask's his question Mattie whispers out "what amulets?" she lifts an eyebrow. "You mean the necklaces? Like the one that sent Alicia mad and turned to ash around her neck?"
She turns looking for Alicia. She left Kiami/Terra hidden with the group. "Alicia?" she calls out in a hushed whisper.
(Ooc-as player for Kiami is at DragonCon this weekend, I have her permisson to move the PC around as needed to keep her/him safe.)

Alicia is there, but she's made herself comfortable in one of the hanging hammocks tied to the lower decks poles. "I don't know why it did that. But I know I want to avoid the emperor if he IS killing dreamers."

Harrow smiles at Caleb before making her way to try and find Alicia and make sure she's okay. Matilda has the impression that something else could push her over the edge.
Once she's found Alicia she moves closer before saying "I know you're scared about The Emperor and going to Bethmora if he's there. But try and relax me and the others, we're here to stop this"

Alicia nods, "I'm going to take a nap." She tugs a blanket over herself and closes her eyes.
OOC: I'm off till sunday BST, Liz should hopefully still have the stats for the necklace and what they do. If not, just keep talking amongst each other till I can get back.

Jillian had not needed persuasion to follow everyone else below deck, once down there she looks to Jeremy. "I'm as alright as anyone can be considering, well.. everything." she laughed. "I have honestly no idea where we are now since Babylon carried us away. I don't recall seeing Poltiades or Poltrades on the maps. All I know right now is I do not this Emperor to find us."

Hearing Jermey ask for an amulet. She walks over to him and passes the necklace to him, assuming that this was what he meant when he asked for a amulet. "Really hope you're on to something, because all I know is that one turned to dust" she says to Jermey.
She then watches Alicia go to sleep . Worried that she could be in danger "Why do I want to keep her safe?" Harrow asks as she watches her a little bit longer.

Studying the amulet that Matilda handed him, he returns it back to her hands with a curious smile. "As I thought. The red beams and the amulets are similar in a quality of resemblance to something back home. A cats eye. You see the gem of the amulet? It is similar to a cats eye in shape. And the beams. " with this Jeremy points to the door which leads to the deck. "The beams shine like a cats eye. Now whether thats coincidental or it means something I dont know. But it could be, that the two are related somehow." He says with excitment spicing his voice.
Turning his body around so he faces eveyone in the room he states to the group. "The book talks of several cities or towns that I feel reside on our route, tho I am suspicious whether thats the case as this world isnt like our. But the statements certainly stand out. The book speaks of the cities of Nombros, Poltarnees, Andelsprutz, Zaccarath, Bethmoora and ofcourse the cave of hypnos. Do you think any of these will help? I can show you all the articles in question if you like? " he says holding the book in one hand and gesturing towards it with the other.

Jillian listened carefully to the explanation about the amulets, not entirely sure she understood all that was said or what was meant. The talk of the book and the cities intrigued her however. "Poltarnees is on the map, but by an ocean rather than the river Yann, I don't recall seeing those others you mentioned. It makes me think that the map is not too helpful, at least in the general sense. What does the book say of Oxuhann?" she asked, "It is close to Bethmoora on the map and the captain originally said it was the boats final stop."

The book simply states that it is a trade port, a rather good size city on the edge of the desert.

Matilda also listens to what Jermey says about the necklaces. Harrow still seems a little bit confused about it all. This is the part where she feels useless. She makes her way back up to deck in the hope that she would feel more useful once at land.

Matilda hears the captain speak and telling her to head back down below deck. "My apologies Captain" as she went back to find a quiet spot. She didn't want to disturb those who were of use as she finds herself starting to fall asleep. "Maybe Alicia had the right idea" Matilda says before falling asleep.

Caleb as still really trying to figure this all out and failing badly. For now he would just tag along with Matilda. Arthur would kill him if anything happened to her while he was with her. He sat on a bench while the two women, one man? 'Feck dis is confusing!'

Seeing everyone scattered around the ship. Either lost in thought, in confusion of a collaboration of the two Jeremy begins to dwell upon his realisation with the amulets. Speaking out loud "Perhaps those beams are from similar devices, jewels such as those found on the amulet? Or maybe they are seeking the amulets themselves." Slight awe laces through his voice. "A counterpart of eachother. Puzzle pieces. Good vs evil. Etc. Perhaps .. perhaps if that's the case, they are searching for the amulets because they are valuable or a threat. If thats the case, im afraid..." and he turns to the Captain "we may have inadvertently put you and your crew in danger. Has the patrol ever stopped you before? Or taken anything from the ship? " he asks with an investigative tone.
Looking through his book once again he exclaims "It appears we have a map of Bethmoora" and he takes it from the book to show everyone.
