"Well, they said they'd get me a ship. Maybe this is all there is" She sighs

"It.. what?"

"Who got you this?"

"Didn't I tell you? Oh... not sure I did." And Siv relates the story of Seana, Colton, and herself helping free 8 trolls

"Oh."

"I mean, maybe it's magic?" She kenns the bottle.

"Not easy to deliver a whole damn ship."

She kenns it, an blinks for a moemnt "Wow that's.. it's ..bright"

A grin.

"I bet something happens if I Pop this open!" SHe reaches for the cork

"Um.. Siv? Do we wanna do this right here?"

A stop, and she lowers her head, "We do not tell father or mother of this near 'sailing ship in our living area' moment"

"Lips are sealed!"

"Thank you. Twice over in fact. Once for the call to sense.. the other for the lip sealing."

"I'm taking this to the lake. Care to come with?"

"Sure! I wanna see if this works!"

"In case it doesn't fly, I thought the lake best" They get into her car, and Siv drives VERY Carefully. Killing people is one thing, but endangering the ship? Never

"Ohhhh, yeah."

"If it doesn't fly, will it be stuck on the lake?"

"...Does that make it a boat?"

"oh you do that on purpose" at the B word

GRIN.

"If it doesn't fly I

..well I'm sure it will have something that makes it useful"

They pull up to the lake.. and Siv takes a deep breath going towards the water. Fortunatley most of the crowds are light tonight so it's not hard to find a spot relatively secluded and out of sight.

"Maybe it can go back IN the bottle."

"Then, like... SWOOSH, pop it out when you need it?"

"I'm hoping"

"Shrinky-boat."

"It's not the size of the ship, it's the motion of the ocean" She pops the cork and.. there's a woosh!

and like a genie in a bottle.. only instead of turning into mist, it becomes spray... and when it hits the lake it turns into a glorious full sized ship with fluttering sails and fine carving of a whale with a horn lifting from it.

"A Narwhal! That's a Narwhal!" Siv grins at the carving! "And it's plenty big so there!"

"Oh, it's pretty! Can we go on?"

"Yeah, let's " She grabs her cousin "Permision to come aboard Granted" HOP SCOTCH and.. they land.

As soon as Siv hits the the ships deck, a note flutters from the sails and drops in her hand.

"Ha! Shit, I need to learn wayfare..."

"Ha, you want to learn everything" A smile though "hey, says here... "A blush "Says here that in thanks for all I've done this ship has been graciously crafted by many and paid for largely by the ice River Lodge trolls and Baron Snowmantle and.. others? Others? Who the heck are the others? And.. oh..." She clears her throat "I am Captain Siv Waveborne, by right of gratitude I do claim thee and I in turn will be your captain. I name ye Narwhal"

"Boats need names." Agreeably.

"SHip..shiiiiip.. Argh." She looks at the note, "Apparently this is supposed to take us to far away bodies of water if I but name them..let's test it out shall we? Cant' wait for this baby to take off." She clears her throat "To the Atlantic, off the Jersey Coast"

"Oh, it jumps!"

"Well, I was hoping it woudl actually ... " And the Narhwal PLUNGES into the water .. the two girls feel it tilt, and then something akin to a great beast sucking in air... and down under water they go!

For a moment, they are submerged, but within a bubble of air!

"COOL."

"Jesus fucking christ" A chimerical fish says as it nearly gets slammed by the diving vessel.

There's a burst of more bubbles and... a rising feeling

Dagmar leans over the edge, watching with a broad grin.

And the ship BREACHES, no other word for it, like the whale of its name sake, and settles ... into the ocean... and not far away "Is that Atlantic City?" Siv pulls out a telescope "It is!"

"Sure?"

"Hey, you think this could go to a sea in the Dreaming?"

She hands over the telescope "See for yourself"
