A Rock and a Hard Place/Dialogues

Outside the palace of Graecita, at daytime...

* + Protestors (pissed): Down with Medusa. Down with Medusa. Down with Medusa!
	+ Soldiers (Tyrese; serious): Everyone, please stand back. We don’t want to hurt you, so please don’t make u-
	+ Protestors (furious): We shall not step down! Not until our voices are heard, Medusa have attacked our people and must pay the price!
	+ Protestors (angry): Down with Medusa! Down with Medusa! DOWN WITH MEDUSA!

Inside the palace...

* + Medusa (worried): Ssssssssss....
	+ Stheno (sympathetic): Medusa, are you scared?
	+ Medusa (panicking): S-scared? How can I not be scared?! They came to KILL me!
	+ Medusa (crying): I thought coming to Graecita would make me safe, but I was wrong! No matter where I go, people always come to hunt me down!
	+ Stheno (warm smile): Shhhh... Don’t cry, everything will be okay. I’m sure of it...
	+ Euryale (pissed): Yeah! You need to keep a brave face! You can let your crying face the last thing these assassins would see!
	+ Stheno (shocked): Euryale! We can’t kill them!
	+ Euryale (confused): Why not? What makes any different from every motherfucker we fought?
	+ Stheno (pissed): To begin with, we are at our friends’ kingdom! If we do anything to their people, we’d bring nothing but shame to them! We can’t do that to them after they’ve be so kind to let us stay!
	+ Euryale (pissed): But-
	+ Medusa (worried): Stheno... Is right. We should try our best to avoid a fight. I just hope they get evicted as quick as possible...

While the gorgons are worrying about the mob, Leonora is watching from her balcony...

* + Leonora (frustrated): When are these protestors going to stop shoutings?! It’s been nearly half an hour!
	+ Norah (laughing): What?! Are they scaring you?
	+ Leonora (pissed): N-no. But they are annoying me! What are they even protesting about?!
	+ Kaleb (serious): Well, you won’t have to worry about them! I ordered Shirley to pack a carriage for you, you’re staying at the military base until this whole issue is sorted out!
	+ Norah (confused): You’re escorting Leonora out?! Why? She’s not even the target!
	+ Leonora (confused): Huh?
	+ Kaleb (pissed): You don’t know that! Some conspirators may be taking advantage of this situations and its better for us to take precautions in case someone is after Lea!
	+ Leonora (crossing her arms): Kaleb. I’m not going anywhere!
	+ Kaleb (holding his head): Ugh... Don’t act like that now! You saw how huge the crowd was! We’ve got no other choice!
	+ Leonora (serious): Kaleb, you told me once that, before we take action we should always look for peace. Maybe if I spoke with the protestors, I could convince them to back away!
	+ Kaleb (pissed): You were eight-years-old and I was ten when I said that to you! This is the real world! You can just give a speech and expect everyone to become friends at the end! Wake up!
	+ Leonora (eye rolling): Go tell Shirley to unpack my carriage. I’m not going to flee until I give it a try!
	+ Kaleb (covering his face): 'sigh' What did I do to deserve such stubborn sisters?
	+ Norah (serious): I’m coming with you! If anyone tries to hurt you, I’ll be there to protect you!
	+ Leonora (proud): Thank you, Norah. I knew I could always count on you.

Leonora and Norah head outside the palace where the protestors continued shouting...

* + Leonora (dizzy): Ugh...
	+ Norah (concerned): Lea, are you ill?!
	+ Leonora (frustated): No, but these protesters are giving me a fucking headache!
	+ Norah (pissed): Everyone, SILENCE! Th queen would like to talk!
	+ Protestors (silent): ....
	+ Guards (bowing): Your Grace!
	+ Leonora (neutral): Thank you, you can rise...
	+ Leonora (furious): Now can someone tell, WHAT THE FUCK are you all going here?!
	+ Protestors (sniggering): Hehehe...
	+ Leonora (confusing; whispering): What are they laughing at?
	+ Norah (shrugging her shoulders): Who knows? Just pretend to be unbothered and don’t let them get to you...
	+ Protestors (Protestor 1; crossing his arms): It seems like you are ignorant toward your kingdom’s matters, can’t say we are surprised...
	+ Protestors (Protestor 1; pissed): But to give you an answer, we came here to kill Medusa!
	+ Protestors (Protestor 2; angry): That serpent murdered many of our friends and family members! And if the palace is not willing to protect their people, we’re bringing it down with her!
	+ Leonora (shocked): They cane here to kill Medusa?! Norah, did you know that?!
	+ Norah (awkward grin): I did... But Kaleb warned me not to tell you anything...
	+ Leonora (rolling her eyes): Of course he would! He can’t trust me on anything! Why did he even make me the queen? Ugh...
	+ Leonora (sympathetic): My people, we hear you and I’m sorry for what happened to your loved ones. But slaying Medusa won’t bring them back...
	+ Leonora (serious): We have took her in the palace, to protect YOU from her, to protect you from sharing the same fate your friends have gotten! If you attack the palace, you are not avenging them but you’re only putting your life in danger!
	+ Leonora (sympathetic): So please, don’t do anything foolish and back awa-
	+ Protestors (Protestor 1; furious): Ha! You think you’re gonna buy that crap? You DON’T CARE about your people! Save your pities and DOWN WITH MEDUSA!
	+ Protestors: DOWN WITH MEDUSA!
	+ Leonora (shocked): What?! Who said I don’t care about you, of course I d-
	+ Norah (sweating): Lea, I think you talked for long enough. We need to get in the palace before things get violen-

Someone throws a rock which barely missed the queen...

* + Leonora (pissed): HEY! Who threw that?!
	+ Soldiers (Captain; pissed): Alright, THAT’S ENOUGH! Move away!

While the protest was going, Dimitrios is searching for a way to get in the palace...

* + Dimitrios (grinning): Great! No guards around!
	+ Dimitrios (impatient): Now I need to find a way inside the palace! There has to be some secret passages, but where do I g-
	+ Gina (shocked): Dimitrios!
	+ Dimitrios (startled): Ah! Gina! What the hell are you doing here?!
	+ Gina (curious): I saw you sneaking out of the estate and decided to follow you. I wanted to ask you the same question...
	+ Gina (serious): You came here to fight Medusa, did you?
	+ Dimitrios (nervous grin): Ah, Gina.... You know me-
	+ Gina (shocked): But Dimitrios, you promised!
	+ Dimitrios (eye rolling): I only did so for Cedrick to get off my tail!
	+ Dimitrios (pissed): I won’t let that reptilian get away with what she’s done to our sisters!
	+ Gina (panicking): But she’ll kill you!
	+ Dimitrios (serious): At least I’d die putting up a fight! Now get the hell out of my way!
	+ Gina (begging): Dimitrios, please...

As the two are arguing, the protest is still going...

* + Protestors: Down with Medusa! Down with Medusa!
	+ Soldiers (Captain; serious): Your Grace, I think it would be best you stay inside, someone may try to attack you again...
	+ Norah (serious): Caps’ got a point! You were lucky that stone did not hit you, next time they may use something worse like a-

Norah notices an arrow heading towards the queen...

* + Norah (shocked): Lea, WATCH OUT!
	+ Leonora (confused): Huh-

Norah draws the sword and blocks the arrow before it hits the queen...

* + Protestors (shocked): ....
	+ Soldiers (shocked): ...
	+ Norah (relieved): Phew... Lea, are you OK?
	+ Leonora (shocked): Was that.... AN ARROW?!

Gina and Dimitrios witnessed what happened...

* + Gina (shocked): Someone tried to kill the queen! Did you see that?!
	+ Dimitrios (shocked): Y-yeah... And if my calculations are correct, the arrow came from our direction!
	+ Gina (panicking): Dimitrios, LOOK! I see someone holding a bow over there! They’re getting away!
	+ Dimitrios (serious): Not when I’m around! HEY YOU!
	+ Vivian (sweating): ....

The assassin tries to get away, but Dimitrios catches up to them and pins them to the group...

* + Dimitrios (grinning): Ha! Gotcha!
	+ Vivian (resisting): Let. Me. Go!
	+ Dimitrios (smirking): Fat chance! I’m taking you to the palace, hopefully they’ve got a reward for me for catching you...

Meanwhile, the queen was panicking...

* + Leonora (panicking): S-someone... tried... TO KILL ME!
	+ Norah (nervous grin): Lea, don’t panic... You’re safe now...
	+ Kaleb (shocked): Lea! I was told about what happened! Are you hurt?!
	+ Leonora (holding her head): N-no... Norah saved me just in time....
	+ Kaleb (pissed): Get inside the palace, NOW!

Norah and the queen obey Kaleb...

* + Kaleb (angry): So you want blood, huh? I’ll give it to you! Soldiers, ATTACK!
	+ Soldiers (Captain; shocked): But Sir Willoughby, these are our people!
	+ Kaleb (furious): I don’t give a fuck who they are! They tried to kill your queen, these ate TRAITORS!
	+ Soldiers (Tyrese; excited): You’ve heard the big guy! ATTACK!

The soldiers then go and attack the protestors, who run away screaming to their homes...

At the *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge*, Mia is laying next to Zachary on the ship’s floor....

* + Mia and Zachary (Zachary; putting his arms protectively on Mia): ....
	+ Natalie (worried): Mia! Zachary! Please, wake up!
	+ Mia and Zachary (Mia; dizzy): Huh.... Who’s here... Zachary?
	+ Mia and Zachary (Zachary; yawning): What?

The two realize the awkward position they were in...

* + Mia and Zachary (both shocked): AH!!!
	+ Natalie (happy): You’re alive!

Natalie pulls the two into a hug...

* + Natalie, Mia and Zachary (Natalie; happy tears): For a second I thought I lost you! I’m so happy you are alive!
	+ Natalie, Mia and Zachary (Mia; awkward grin): Ok, we get it. Now can you stop? You’re squeezing us!
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): Oh.... I’m sorry.. I just got excited...
	+ Zachary (chuckling): Well... We’re glad you’re safe too....
	+ Zachary (curious): But what about the others? Are Mary and Maverick awake too?
	+ Natalie (sweating): I tried to wake up Mary but she’s still deep asleep and Maverick... He did regain his consciousness... kind of...
	+ Zachary (confused): What do you mea-
	+ Maverick (dizzy; spinning around the ship pole): Ah- YES! Don’t stop! I like it when you do this! 'moan'
	+ Zachary (sweating): Maybe I shouldn’t have asked...
	+ Mia (worried): What about our friends inside the ship itself?! Did you check on them?!
	+ Natalie (blushing): Not yet-
	+ Mia (concerned): Oh no! I hope they weren’t hurt, Zach we need to go see if they made it!

Zachary and Mia rush inside the ship to look for their friends...

* + Mia (worried): Where did they all go?!
	+ Zachary (appeasing): There’s no way they got out of the ship, just take a deep breath and then we can go find the-
	+ Hasuro (fierce; holding a ranner): 'battle scream'

Hasuro hits Zach with a rammer...

* + Zachary (holding his head): Woah! Chill out!
	+ Hasuro (shocked): Oh shit! It’s you!
	+ Mia (shocked): Hasuro! Is everyone here okay?!
	+ Alex (awkward grin): Yep... We’re all fine...
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; relieved): Mia, thank god! We thought you guys have died!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; concerned): Where’s Rick? Is he safe too?
	+ Zachary (covering his face): Rick is alright... Except he has a concussion...
	+ Hasuro (sympathetic): Awww my poor poor Mickey-
	+ Charybdis: *gurgles*

The Charybdis’ stomach gurgles...

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; panicking): AHHHH!!! What is that?!
	+ Hasuro (sweating): Seriously! We’ve been hearing that sound for hours, where is it coming from?!
	+ Zachary (serious): Charybdis.
	+ Hasuro (confused): Chary what?!
	+ Alex (thinking): Charybdis. It’s a dangerous sea creature from Ancient Greek tails. It resides somewhere off the cost of Sicily where it waits for ships to pass so it could swallow it...
	+ Alex (shocked): But does that mean we are-
	+ Zachary (covering his face): Yeah, we are inside the sea creature’s stomach...
	+ Alex (sweating): Damn...
	+ Ophelia (panicking): Oh my god, oh my hod, oh my god, OH MY GOD!
	+ Yoyo (appeasing): Ophelia, please.... Take it easy, I’m sure we’ll find a way ou-
	+ Ophelia (dizzy): I think I’m going to fain-
	+ Ophelia (fainting): ...
	+ Yoyo (covering her face): Great... She passed ou-
	+ Natalie’s voice: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
	+ Yoyo (shocked): Is that Natalie screaming?!
	+ Zachary (worried): Shit! She must be in trouble! Everyone to the main deck!

The whole crew rush to the main deck...

* + Natalie (panicking): AHHHHHHHH!!!!!
	+ Pirates (Jorge; awkward grin): We’re not here to hurt you, just listen to u-
	+ Mia (shocked): Fuck! Those are Anne’s crewmen, they came to steal our ship!
	+ Zachary (serious): Not on my watch!

Zachary raises the water around the ship with his powers, ready to fight the pirates!

* + Zachary (frowning; water pillars around him): ...
	+ Pirates (Agwé; panicking): AHH!! DON’T! We came here in peace!
	+ Mia (serious): Yeah, sure. Zach, yank them put of the ship...

Before Zach could kick them out, Mary wakes up...

* + Mary (rubbing her eyes): Eh... Blimey! Who the hell was screaming?!
	+ Natalie (shocked): OH MY GODS, Mary you’re alive!
	+ Mary (confused): Of course I’m alive, why should I be dea-
	+ Mary (angry): Shiver me timbers! What are THEY doing here?!
	+ Pirates (Rags; shocked): Yo, Mary! We’re so glad you’re here, you need to help us! Those scallawags were about to throw us out!
	+ Mary (pissed): After what you’ve done last time you were there, as they should!
	+ Pirates (Jorge; begging): But we promise we don’t want a fight! We only need a place to stay until we get our ship back!
	+ Mary (confused): Get your ship back? What happened to *The William* and where the fuck is Anney?

A rabbit appears...

* + Anne (panicking): *squeaks*
	+ Pirates (panicking): AHHH!
	+ Natalie (puppy eyes): Awwww what an adorable little bunny! How did you get her?!

Natalie carries the bunny...

* + Pirates (Agwé; nervous): Don’t touch it!
	+ Natalie (cuddling Anne): Whyyyyyyyyyy? It’s just a rabbi-

The rabbit bites her...

* + Natalie (startled): Ah!!!
	+ Anne (defensive): *squeaks*
	+ Natalie (shocked): It bit me!
	+ Pirates (Rags; serious): That’s cos’ Anne doesn’t like hugs!
	+ Mary (shocked): Ann/
	+ Mary (chuckling): You old son of a biscuit eater! What happened to you?
	+ Anne (annoyed): *squeaks*
	+ Pirates (Rags; serious): It was the Vikings! We had a battle with them and they brought a sorceress who turned our captain into a rodent!
	+ Pirates (Sinbad; shocked): That sorceress also took our ship!
	+ Mia (laughing): Good for her! Anne, looks a lot better like that!
	+ Anne (furious): *squeaks*
	+ Hasuro (eye rolling): Yeah, but we can’t keep her like that forever... Especially when we’ve got to deal with those bums!
	+ Pirates (Sinbad; offended): Hey! Who’re you calling a bum?
	+ Mia (disgusted): Yeah, no.... They’re not staying here... We’ve got to do something about it....
	+ Natalie (smiling): Maybe if we talked with the viking, they would turn Anne back and return her ship!
	+ Zachary (serious): Are you crazy?! Do you have an idea what vikings are?! They’ll kill you if you come to their ship!
	+ Mia (serious): I’m coming with you, Nat!
	+ Zachary (shocked): Mia-
	+ Mia (annoyed): Jesus Christ, Zachary! You’re starting to sound like Ophelia, you know that?!
	+ Zachary (covering his face): *sigh* I’m sorry... But the vikings are known to be very aggressive, if you don’t watch your bac-
	+ Mia (confident): We’ll be careful! Natalie, lets go!

Mia mounts Natalie’s back and they start searching for the viking ship...

* + Natalie (thinking): Mia, do you think this is the vikings’ ship? It looks really familiar....
	+ Mia (confident): It’s got to be! Nat, take us to it!

Natalie and Mia go abroad the ship...

* + Mia (relieved): Phew... It looks like no one’s in the main deck...
	+ Mia (serious): Now we need to go in the ship and look for the chief!
	+ Natalie (smiling): Maybe that woman near the dragonhead could tell us where we could find him!
	+ Mia (awkward grin): We could go ask her... Hopefully we don’t freak her out...

## Chapter 1

* Investigate the viking ship (Victim identified: Freja)
	+ Natalie (shocked): Mia, that lady is not moving! I think she might be dead!
	+ Natalie (disgusted): Look at her head! Someone clearly beat her to death, this was murder!
	+ Natalie (sweating): Do you think the vikings are responsible for this? If so, Zach wasn’t kidding when he said they’re ruthless-
	+ Rune (serious): Aye! What are you doing in my ship? Have you come to rob u-

Rune notices the corpse...

* + Rune (shocked): FREJA!
	+ Natalie (shocked): Freja? Is that the woman’s name? Do you know her?
	+ Rune (pissed): I do! And you two are coming to my cabin, right now!
	+ Natalie (sweating): Oh dear...
* Prove your innocence to Rune (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the viking ship)
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): Sir, if this is about the woman, we promise you that we didn-
	+ Rune (pissed): SILENCE! You are not to talk until I say so!
	+ Natalie (sweating): Y-yessir! W-why did you bring us here?
	+ Rune (crossing his arms): First, I’d like to know what you are doing in my ship! You don’t look like you’re from here!
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): We came here because we wanted to speak with your chief...
	+ Rune (pissed): You’re at luck. My name’s Rune, Chief of Grimsdalr and that woman at the dragonhead, that’s my sister!
	+ Natalie (panicking): Oh dear... I know how that looks like, but we swear! We had nothing to do with her death! We found her like that!
	+ Rune (furious): Then it must be those damn pirates! They must’ve killed her as payback for taking their ship! Well, I’ll show what happens to those you hurt my family!
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): Sir... I don’t think you should jump to conclusions this quickly, anyone could’ve killed your sister, it could even be someone from your own tribe...
	+ Natalie (blushing): Before you fight with the pirates again, maybe you should give us a chance to figure who killed your sister. To avoid any further bloodshed...
	+ Rune (pissed): Fine, but only because Jane warned us not to fight! But if you don’t bring me Freja’s assassin by supper, I’ll battle it out with the pirates!

At the main deck...

* + Natalie (thinking): The chief mentioned a woman by the name of “Jane”. Who do you think she is? And what type of importance does she have? Do you think we should ask to talk with her?
	+ Natalie (curious): You found another ship around?! Why do I feel like I’ve seen it befor-
	+ Natalie (shocked): Oh! No wonder why I found the viking ship familiar! These are the same vikings who attacked the ship Madelina was boarding!
	+ Natalie (excited): And that must be the ship itself! Quick! We need to go and rescue Mads!
* Investigate *The Pedersen* (Pre-request: Prove your innocence to Rune)
	+ Natalie (worried): Mia, there’s no signs for Madelina! Where did she go?!
	+ Natalie (covering her face): You’re right, maybe we should focus on the murder first and then we can go looking for her...
	+ Natalie (curious): You found something here?! A hat?
	+ Natalie (shocked): I know that hat! It belongs to one of the pirates who captured me! I think his name was George?
	+ Natalie (serious): I guess I was close enough. Considering that the ship now belongs to the vikings and that we found his hat here, we must go speak with Jorge-
	+ Wes (smirking): *whistles* No one told me they’ve invited two hot babes over to the ship! How’re you doing, miladies?
	+ Natalie (startled): WHO ARE YOU?!
	+ Wes (grinning): Chill out! I’m not gonna eat you, but I’ve got to say... That ass looks juicy!
	+ Natalie (blushing): Thank you... I guess?
	+ Wes (smoking): You two seem nice, why don’t we talk a bit? I’d like to get to know each other. Name’s Wes by the way...
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): It’s nice to meet you Wes, and sure we can have a talk with you!
	+ Natalie (sweating): I don’t know about you Mia, but that man is scaring me, I just hope the conversation will be quick...
* Chat with Wes (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate *The Pedersen*)
	+ Natalie (hopeful): You’re a passenger here, right? Did you happen to know our friend Madelina?!
	+ Wes (crossing his arms): Is she that Latina with the large mommy milkers?
	+ Natalie (confused): Mommy... milkers... I guess so?
	+ Wes (rubbing his face; bitter): Yeah, I know her and we didn’t exactly hit it off...
	+ Wes (grinning): And if you were hoping to talk with her, the vikings have taken her in as their little plaything...
	+ Natalie (shocked): Oh dear! Poor Madelina! I pray that the vikings haven’t hurt her!
	+ Wes (smirking): Anyway, ‘nuff talking about. Do you like playing video games? If so, why don’t we go to the TV-room and play strip FIFA? I would like to show you my joystick!
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): That’s a nice offer, but... um... We’re kind of busy at the moment. We’re looking through the murder of a Viking woman called Freja...
	+ Wes (remembering): Freja? Oh yeah! I know that chick too!
	+ Natalie (shocked): You do?!
	+ Wes (grinning): Not exactly, we’ve only spoken once but if you ask me, I feel like she’s got the hots for me!
	+ Natalie (curious): Oh.... What were you talking about?
	+ Wes (innocent smirk): Nothing exciting, just *Marvel* movies, she was interested in the *Thor* movies in particular...
	+ Natalie (confused): Why would a norse woman from hundreds of years ago be interested in such modern concepts?
	+ Wes (shrugging his shoulders): Dunno? Maybe she was just curious about what this generation likes?
	+ Wes (grinning): Anyway, once you’re done being busy. Why don’t we see each other again? I assure you I know how to keep my ladies satisfied...
	+ Natalie (uncomfortable): Mia, lets just go...
* Question Jorge on how his hat ended up at the yacht (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate *The Pedersen*)
	+ Jorge (thinking): Hey... Aren’t you... I mean, you look a lot like the mermaid we’ve seen a dew weeks ago!
	+ Natalie (serious): And you look exactly like the two pirates who me by their nets and tried to stuff me!
	+ Jorge (scratching his head): Yeah.... Sorry about that, but I was just following Anney’s orders and she can get real dangerous when someone disobeys her, savvy?
	+ Natalie (covering her face): I suppose that I made it, it’s better to leave this to the past...
	+ Natalie (curious): Anyway, we found your hat inside the yacht and we’d like to ask you what you were doing there?
	+ Jorge (awkward grin): You remember when we told you the vikings stole our ship? We weren’t exactly frank with you, since they didn’t exactly start the fight....
	+ Jorge (scratching his head): While Anney was navigating the area, she spotted two ships she wanted to loot and sent half of us to the white boat and the other half to the viking ship...
	+ Jorge (sweating): And... We ended up alarming the vikings and the whole battle broke out. I think I dropped my hat while fleeing...
	+ Natalie (confused): So you initiated the rivalry and now you come to us for help?!
	+ Jorge (awkward grin): Come on, we’re pirates! You didn’t seriously think we’re innocent in all this, did you?
	+ Natalie (thinking): We don’t feel like arguing, so we just want to tell you that we found a dead body inside the viking ship, it belongs to a woman called Freja...
	+ Jorge (confused): My condolences for her, but who is she exactly? Are we supposed to know her?
	+ Natalie (blushing): She is the sister of the Viking chief, and he seems to believe one of you Have killed her...
	+ Jorge (pissed): That is a lie! None of us have tried step foot into their ship!
	+ Jorge (serious): And it’s a golden rule in the pirate law that while, yes, we are allowed to kill outsiders, we are not to hurt the women and children!
	+ Jorge (pissed): It’s clear the vikings are pinning this on us, just to have a reason to attack is again!
* Autopsy victim’s body (Killer attribute: The killer drinks mead; Killer attribute: The killer uses soap)
	+ Hasuro (shocked): Whoever attacked your victim must’ve been really desperate to have her dead! She was beaten so hard one of eyes had detached from its sockets!
	+ Natalie (disgusted): Oh dear, this is horrifying! Did you... Find something against the killer?
	+ Hasuro (grinning): They were quite sloppy when committing the murder, so yeah, they did leave out some clues...
	+ Hasuro (serious): First, while examining her wounds I found traces of animal fat and ash, and these were known ingredients used in soap creation back at the Viking era!
	+ Hasuro (shocked): But that’s not just it! After the killer beat up your victim, she poured alcohol all over her face, to make sure she dies of the pain!
	+ Hasuro (glad): And luckily, I managed to identify the alcohol as mead, otherwise known as honey wine!
	+ Natalie (serious): So the killer drinks mead? Well, once we catch them they’ll sure get a bittersweet end!

Later....

* + Natalie (covering her face): Mia, we’re half an hour into the murder and so far we found two attributes against the killer, but none of our suspects seem to fit them...
	+ Natalie (blushing): The only person who seems to be affected by the Freja’s murder is her brother, Rune and if we don’t find out who killed her, he threatens to attack the pirates!
	+ Natalie (wary): We’ve spoken to one of them, Jorge and he claims that they are innocent of her assassination, but can we really take his word for it?
	+ Natalie (holding her head): And then we have that man, Wes, and gods did he make me feel uncomfortable! If Ophelia had been with us, his attitude toward us would sure escalate into a fight-
	+ Mary (drawing her sword): Take one more step inside the side and I’ll send you to Davy Jones’ locker!
	+ Zachary (curious): Mary, what’s going on here?!
	+ Mary (pissed): Those vikings come abroad our ship! They want to take us captives!
	+ Vikings (Viking 1; serious): I think you’re getting the wrong idea here! We didn’t come to captures you, we came to escort you to Jane Foster!
	+ Vikings (Viking 2; serious): She’s heard that new victims fell into the sea creature’s trap and she would like to see you!

## Chapter 2

* + Natalie (covering her face): Mia, we’re half an hour into the murder and so far we found two attributes against the killer, but none of our suspects seem to fit them...
	+ Natalie (blushing): The only person who seems to be affected by the Freja’s murder is her brother, Rune and if we don’t find out who killed her, he threatens to attack the pirates!
	+ Natalie (wary): We’ve spoken to one of them, Jorge and he claims that they are innocent of her assassination, but can we really take his word for it?

	+ Vikings (Viking 1; serious): I think you’re getting the wrong idea here! We didn’t come to captures you, we came to escort you to Jane Foster!
	+ Vikings (Viking 2; serious): She’s heard that new victims fell into the sea creature’s trap and she would like to see you!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; confused): Jane.... Foster?
	+ Alex (shrugging his shoulders): Correct if I’m wrong, but isn’t that a comic book character?
	+ Hasuro (awkward grin): No no, you’re right. She’s Thor Ragnarok’s girlfriend from the *Thor* movies. I know that because I watched them several, totally not for Johan Schnee’s hot bod...
	+ Zachary (confused): Are we hearing you correctly, we are meeting JANE FOSTER?
	+ Vikings (Viking 1; impatient): Yes, is something up with that?
	+ Zachary (blushing): No, its just, Jane is... Ugh... Forget it, guys what do you say?
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; crossing her arms): I mean.... We know the movies are heavily influenced by Norse Mythology, and since Greek Mythology is real... I don’t see a reason we should doubt them...
	+ Zachary (serious): Alright, fine. Take us to Jane!

The *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge* crew get taken to *The William*....

* + Hasuro (confused): Isn’t that, Anne Bonny’s ship? I remember it looking like that!
	+ Alex and Zachary (Zachary; serious): It is! The pirates mentioned that the vikings took over it and their sorceress adopted it as their den!
	+ Natalie (shocked): Mia, Jane Foster must be the tribe’s witch!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; worried): W-witch...? This is not good...

A scrawny kid with a mop of brown hair then comes out of the door....

* + Chet (nervous): Ladies and gentlemen... I present you *Jane Foster, Mistress of Thor, Holder of Mjolnir and The Greatest Sorceress of Asgard*...

The vikings kneel...

* + Vikings (kneeling): ...
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; curious): Guys, doesn’t that boy look familiar to you?
	+ Natalie (shocked): He does actually, I think that’s-
	+ Vikings (Viking 1; glaring): Pssst... What do you think you’re doing? KNEEL!
	+ Natalie (blushing): Oh- sorry...

The team kneel, but then magic dust fill the floor and it makes the vikings stand up...

* + Vikings (shocked; Viking 2): Ah! What’s going on?!

The vikings then start singing and bellydancing...

* + Vikings (sing and singing): Was it her face that invaded your mind? The kind isn't that hard to find. She lets you think that you found her first. That's how she works, her sick and twisted gypsy curse...
	+ Vikings: She can swallow knives, she can swallow lives. Golden black stare, but the night of your demise....
	+ Hasuro (chuckling): What happened to them?
	+ Alex and Zachary (Alex; serious): Mind controlling spell. The witch has taken over their bodies!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; horrified): That’s twisted!
	+ Hasuro (happy): Hey! At least we get a good show out of it!

The vikings continue their choreography...

* + Vikings (singing and dancing): The gypsy woman! Can't go, can't go with her. Can't go, can't go with her. Can't go, can't go with her. The gypsy woman!

The vikings stop dancing....

* + Vikings (tired): *Breathing heavily*

A girl then comes out of a door...

* + Madelina (flattered): Thank you! Thank you! I’m so stunning, charming, gorgeous and such an amazing woman, thank you! MWA!
	+ Alex and Zachary (Zachary; shocked): Holy. Shit.

Madelina gives Chet her arms and together they go down the stairs...

* + Madelina and Chet (Chet; whispering): Was that show... Really necessary?
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; innocent smirk): What? Isn’t a girl allowed to have fun?
	+ Madelina and Chet (Chet; giggling): You know, you’re really taking advantage of the situation. I can’t imagine what they’ll do to us if they knew our secret...
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; eye rolling): Ugh... Whatever! I wonder who Rune arranged me to mee-
	+ Natalie (shocked): Madelina!
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; shocked): Huh?

Madelina notices who is at front of her and she was too stunned to speak...

* + Madelina and Chet (Madelina; speechless): ...
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; sweating): Actually... After thinking about, I think I want to stay inside the shi-
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; pissed): Oh no, you’re coming with us!

Ophelia grabs Madelina by her braid...

* + Madelina (wincing): Ow! My hair! Let. Me. Go!
	+ Chet (shocked): Jane!
	+ Vikings (Viking 3; pissed): Hey! Get your hands off her you pes-

But Zachary simply uses his water-bending ability to push the vikings away and they took Madelina into their ship...

* Confront Madelina for running away (1 star)
	+ Madelina (pissed): Gee, finally! You nearly ripped out my extensions, do you know how much these costed?!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; pissed): What the hell you doing with the vikings?! Do you an idea how worried we were for you?!
	+ Hasuro (relieved): Exactly! When Natalie told us the vikings invaded the yacht, we feared the worst! We thought you may have died!
	+ Alex and Zachary (Zachary; pissed): What were you even thinking?! Jumping into another ship with no plan at all?! The gods know what could’ve happened to you?!
	+ Madelina (eye rolling): Well... I appreciate your “concern”, but don’t pretend you give a fuck about my well-being! After all, I’m just a “charity case” to you!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; concerned): Madelina... Is there something you want to talk to us about...
	+ Madelina (furious): I HEARD WHAT YOU TOLD ANNE THAT NIGHT!
	+ Madelina (crossing her arms): Here, I said it! Now you don’t have to hide your disdain for me!
	+ Natalie (confused): What did they say to Anne?
	+ Hasuro (awkward grin): Madelina... I think you took what we said way out of context...
	+ Yoyo (sympathetic): Yeah, we didn’t mean anything we said about you, it’s just... Anne got mad over the fight she had with you, and threatened Mary to discipline her crew...
	+ Yoyo (covering her face): We had to no choice but to dissociate you from our team or else Anne would’ve scrapped the deal...
	+ Yoyo (sympathetic): I’m sorry if anything we said somehow affected you...
	+ Madelina (hopeful): Does that mean... I’m a part of the crew?
	+ Hasuro (thinking): Well... You did kill Lykaon, help the girlies fight Orion... And put an end to Circe’s curse... So we may as well accept you in the team...
	+ Madelina (happy): YIPPEE!

Madelina jumps into the sofa, comfortably...

* + Madelina (comfortable): *sigh* How good it is to be back home....
	+ Zachary (curious): So.... About the vikings?
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): Oh! They were cool! I mean, yeah... They did want to rape me at first, but we ended up hitting it off!
	+ Madelina (smiling): I also met that cool nurse, her name is Gertrude, and she taught me some words in norse! Her daughter is also very swee-
	+ Zachary (uninterested): What I mean is.... Why are they calling you Jane Foster?
	+ Madelina (innocent smirk): Oh this... It’s a bit of a long story but....

Madelina explains everything....

* + Zachary (shocked): But that’s hubris!
	+ Madelina (interested): Hubris? Oooooooo that sounds Arabic! Is it some kind of dip, like hummus?
	+ Zachary (pissed): No! It means acting like you are equal to or more powerful than the gods! Do you know the severity of what you’ve done? What happens to those who claims divinity?
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): Well... Technically, I didn’t claim to be a goddess, I just told everyone that a god is a boyfriend...
	+ Madelina (shrugging her shoulders): Also, it was Chet who got me into this! I was just playing along to whatever he told the vikings about me!

Suddenly Chet enters the ship...

* + Chet (concerned): Madelina! Are you oka-

Everyone in the ship glares at him...

* + Zachary (frowning): ...
	+ Chet (sweating): Why is everyone looking at me?
	+ Natalie (nervous grin): I’m sure the gods won’t mind what Madelina did, they’ll probably understand she was in desperate measures...
	+ Natalie (serious): Anyway, we have other things to worry about, like finding out who killed the viking chief’s sister!
	+ Madelina (shocked): Freja is DEAD?!
	+ Natalie (sympathetic): She is. Did you befriend her?
	+ Madelina (eye rolling): Ewwww no! But I did talk to her, a few times. The last time I saw her though was yesterday, she had come to *The William* to talk with me...
	+ Natalie (curious): What were you two talking about?
	+ Madelina (covering her face): Well... She-
	+ Chet (serious): She came to the ship because her brother forced her to apologize for the way she acted toward Madelina, that’s it! Nothing else...
	+ Madelina (confused): Yeah...
	+ Chet (nervous grin): Would you mind telling me how close you are on finding the killer?
	+ Zachary (wary): What’s that got to do with you?
	+ Chet (sweating): I... I just want to know...
	+ Natalie (thinking): We’ve just started and so far, all what we know is that the killer uses soap and they drink mead as well...
	+ Madelina (smiling): Mead! That’s the drink I was served while having lunch with the chief!
	+ Natalie (shocked): The chief drinks mead? Does he use soap too?!
	+ Madelina (shrugging her shoulders): How would I know? I didn’t see him shower!
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): However he does stink... REALLY badly!
	+ Natalie (blushing): What about you?
	+ Madelina (offended): Of course I do! Do I look musty to yo-
	+ Madelina (shocked): Wait a minute... You don’t think I killed Freja?!
	+ Natalie (sweating): Of course not! We just wanted to be sure...
	+ Madelina (smiling): Good. But I won’t blame you if you did, since I DID think about killing her!
	+ Natalie (shocked): Y-you... did?!
	+ Madelina (innocent smirk): Just kidding...
	+ Natalie (nervous laugh): Oh... Haha!

Once they’re done talking with Madelina...

* + Natalie (smiling): Since Freja came to visit Madelina at Anne Bonny’s ship, why don’t we give it a look! Maybe we’ll find something there against our killer!
* Investigate *The William* (Pre-request: Confront Madelina for running away)
	+ Natalie (cutious): Mia, I don’t see anything inside the ship, what about you?
	+ Natalie (thinking): Maybe if we look close-

Natalie slips on a bar of soap....

* + Natalie (startled): Ah!

But luckily, she falls on her bottom instead of her back...

* + Natalie (wincing with pain): Ow... My fanny...
	+ Natalie (getting up): What’s that I slipped over? A bar of soap?! Who left that behind?
	+ Natalie (shocked): You’re right! There are rune inscriptions on the soap! Do you think thats a message from the killer? We do know that they use soap!
	+ Natalie (serious): We need to take it to Yoyo! Maybe she could tell us what this i-
	+ Gertrude (shocked): I saw you falling! Are you alright?!
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): I am fine, but thank you for caring...
	+ Gertrude (hand on hips): I’m a nurse, it’s my job to care for others. People really need to be careful where they put their stuff, you could have gotten injured!
	+ Natalie (shocked): Nurse?! Wait! You must be Gertrude! The lady Mad- I mean Jane told us about!
	+ Natalie (serious): Miss Gertrude, we need to talk with you!
* Talk to Gertrude (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate *The William*)
	+ Gertrude (wiping her sweat): Whatever you have to say for me, please make it brief. I have a lot of work to do and some clothes that could use a good scrub with soap...
	+ Natalie (curious): We promise we won’t keep you busy, but we believe you heard about Freja’s death...
	+ Gertrude (covering her face): Yes... Very unfortunate news, I feel nothing but pity for the chief...
	+ Natalie (curious): Well, we were wondering what output do your tribe have on her? We wanted to ask the chief but we thought since he was her brother, he would have a biased description on her.
	+ Gertrude (blushing): To be genuine with you, Freja wasn’t really a popular member of the tribe. She was known to very loud, and grumpy most of the time with little to no sense of humor...
	+ Gertrude (thinking): The men would tease her for her and she would react hostile toward the jokes. And the woman do try to get along with her, but she shuts us off and acts envious when good things happen for us...
	+ Gertrude (sympathetic): But aside from that, she was an honorable, god-fearing woman and I can’t imagine how anyone would kill her.
* Send bar of soap to Yoyo (Killer attribute: The killer speaks norse)
	+ Yoyo (pushing her chests; worried): Natalie, Mia... Do you think if I lose weight... I may end up loosing my breasts too?
	+ Natalie (blushing): Huh?!
	+ Yoyo (awkward grin): Oh! Sorry! I just realized how out of the blue this sounds...
	+ Yoyo (blushing): Anyway, forget my question! I looked into the text on the soap and it turned out to be letters from the Norse alphabets...
	+ Yoyo (smiling): Of course, I don’t know how to talk Norse. But Mary was studied the language and she believes she could identify it!
	+ Mary (serious): The message Ip showed me was a death threat! And it reads “By the head of the dragon, your body shall lay, with a broken skull and blood dripping into the wood”. Does that image look familiar to you?
	+ Natalie (shocked): Yes! That’s exactly how we found the victim’s body, that message was written by the killer!
	+ Natalie (curious): Did you manage to find any clues?
	+ Yoyo (serious): Unfortunately I didn’t, however at least we know that whoever murdered your victim, they must know how to speak Norse!
	+ Natalie (happy): So that makes her brother and the nurse suspect, thank you for your help, Yoyo and Mary!

At the yacht...

* + Natalie (blushing): Mia, I don’t want to believe Madelina is responsible for the murder, but didn’t she mention that Gertrude was teaching her norse?
	+ Natalie (smiling): Since we are at the yacht, why don’t we look around it again?
	+ Natalie (innocent smirk): One of our suspects did mention she was fascinated by the Thor movies, maybe we’ll find clues at the playroom!
* Investigate the playroom
	+ Natalie (curious): What is that box? A cooler? What exactly is it for?
	+ Natalie (amazed): Keeping drinks cold?! That sounds fascinating!
	+ Natalie (innocent smirk): You think we should look through it? I mean... I won’t mind trying out one of the drink-
	+ Natalie (blushing): Oh yes! I didn’t forget... We’re in a murder investigation... Did you find anything else?
	+ Natalie (thinking): A torn picture? I wonder what it’s of... Maybe we should restore it...
* Restore torn picture (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the playroom)
	+ Natalie (shocked): OH MY GOD! It’s... It’s... A D-

Back to Natalie...

* + Natalie (shocked): -K!!!
	+ Natalie (covering her face): AH!!! Get it off me!
	+ Natalie (slowly opening her eyes): There’s... a message on it? Can I see it, without the.. you know... of course...
	+ Natalie (covering her face): *sigh* It’s in rune alphabets, I can’t read it...
	+ Natalie (confident): I think its better we send it to Yoyo, maybe she could tell us who took that picture too!
* Send the nudes to Yoyo (Pre-request: Restore torn picture)

Back to Yoyo...

* + Yoyo (awkward grin): -ks! I had Mary translate the text on the picture and it said “I’ve been thinking about you” and it was addressed for your victim!
	+ Natalie (shocked): So we were right to pick it up! Did the man who took the picture write his name on the message?!
	+ Yoyo (crossing her arms): No... But judging by the content of the message, whoever took the picture must be perverted but daring, and must have a really BIG ego to confiscate what little he had down south...
	+ Yoyo (grosses out): And judging by the fact there is pubes in the picture, I doubt he shaves often and must be very scruffy-looking...
	+ Natalie (crossing her arms): We know a scruffy-looking man, who is also VERY perverted! It’s Wes O’Sullivan, he must’ve been the one who sent Freja this picture!
	+ Natalie (serious): It seems like he was a lot closer to her than we thought. At least now we know we can speak norae, and yes, we need to interrogate him again!
* Confront Wes for sending nudes to Freja (1 star; Pre-request: Send the nudes to Yoyo)
	+ Wes (grinning): The boys told me that you’ve come to the playroom, I knew I’d you have into my arms! Ready to see my joystic-
	+ Natalie (serious): We already know how it looks, we found the photos you have sent to Freja Grimsdalr!
	+ Wes (smirking): Why the long face? Are you feeling... jealous?
	+ Natalie (crossing her arms): No, but you didn’t mention that you and the victim were together?
	+ Wes (grinning): We weren’t together, but J could feel the spark when talking with her, and I’ve always had a thing for Viking women so I decided to give her a surprise...
	+ Natalie (hand on hip): And I assume she didn’t lead it by the way she ripped it off?
	+ Wes (awkward grin): Well... You can’t blame for trying to shoot my shot!
	+ Natalie (crossing her arms): Well, I hope that teaches you that just because a girl is talking to you, that doesn’t mean she wants to sleep with you. Mia, lets g-

	+ Eva (singing): Disaster! Disaster! Oh Oh Oh! Oh Oh Oh-

Back to Wes...

* + Wes (sweating): -k looks a bit small in it, and I just want to clarify that I wasn’t exactly hard on the picture and its usually A LOT bigger than that!
	+ Wes (awkward grin): You get what I’m saying?
	+ Natalie (uncomfortable): Yeah, yeah...
	+ Wes (winking): So you and me? In bed, tonight?
	+ Natalie (impatient): That’s it! I’m out of here!
	+ Wes (shocked): Wai-
	+ Wes (pissed): Damn it!
* Search cooler (1 star; Investigate the playroom)
	+ Natalie (thinking): Beyond all the glass bottle, this canteen really stands out...
	+ Natalie (happy): It looks like it belongs to the vikings, and look there are rune inscriptions on the leather straps!
	+ Natalie (smiling): We have to take it to Hasuro!
* Send the canteen to Hasuro (Pre-request: Search cooler)
	+ Hasuro (serious): Mia and Natalie, I had Mary look at the runes on the leather straps, and she confirmed that it was your victim name in norse alphabets!
	+ Natalie (smiling): So that canteen is hers! Did you find anything else interesting through it?
	+ Hasuro (shocked): Yeah, I noticed how the canteen still had water inside it and when I examined it, it turned out it was poisoned!
	+ Natalie (shocked): POISONED?! So that means someone attempted to kill the victim before her murder?!
	+ Hasuro (blushing): And it’s not just any poison, it’s the same substance used to poison Mary back at Sarpedon!
	+ Natalie (curious): Zachary told me about the story, wasn’t it Jorge and Agwé who poisoned her?!
	+ Natalie (serious): And Jorge is a suspect in Freja’s murder, do you think he’s the one who spiked her drink, Mia? Lets go confront him!
* Confront Jorge for trying to poison Freja (1 star; Pre-request: Send the canteen to Hasuro)
	+ Natalie (serious): It looks like old habits don’t die out. Jorge, we know you tried to poison Freja the same way you did to our campaign!
	+ Jorge (sweating): Blimey! I know this does make me seem fishy, but I swear this is the only time I tried to kill Freja! I promise that I haven’t stepped foot at the vikings’ den to rough her up!
	+ Natalie (confused): Why would you even want to kill her?! What have she done to you?!
	+ Jorge (panicking): She was going to expose my homosexuality to everyone!
	+ Jorge (covering his face): Last night, me and Agwé got drunk with mead, and it everything look fuzzy that we didn’t see Freja around...
	+ Jorge (shocked): So thinking we’re alone, we kissed and then this is when we noticed Freja, who was throwing rude remarks at us in Norse!
	+ Natalie (curious): You know how to speak Norse?
	+ Jorge (scratching his head): Aye! I used to export soap from Scandinavia to Britannia back when I was younger!
	+ Jorge (panicking): But my point is, I couldn’t let Freja expose my sins to everyone, so I poisoned her canteen, hoping she’ll die before she opens her mouth!
	+ Natalie (serious): We hope this really is the only attempt you made in taking the victim’s life, because if we find out you killed her, your whole crew will pay the price!

Later...

* + Natalie (thinking): So far, the only person who fits all our attributes is Jorge, but I think we should wait before we make an arrest so quickly...
	+ Natalie (crossing her arms): Gertrude did warn us that the victim wasn’t a very likable person and judging by her reaction toward Jorge and Agwé kissing I can see why...
	+ Natalie (covering her face): However, she does come from a less open-minded time period, so maybe we should give her the benefit of the doub-

Suddenly, Natalie and Mia hear the sound of horns...

* + Natalie (shocked): Mia, did you hear that! It sounds like a horn!
	+ Natalie (sweating): But doesn’t a horn mean.... A war is coming...
	+ Natalie (panicking): Oh dear! Don’t tell me the vikings are battling it out with the pirates?! We have to stop them!

## Chapter 3

* + Natalie (thinking): So far, the only person who fits all our attributes is Jorge, but I think we should wait before we make an arrest so quickly...
	+ Natalie (crossing her arms): Gertrude did warn us that the victim wasn’t a very likable person and judging by her reaction toward Jorge and Agwé kissing I can see why...
	+ Natalie (covering her face): However, she does come from a less open-minded time period, so maybe we should give her the benefit of the doub-

Suddenly, Natalie and Mia hear the sound of horns...

* + Natalie (shocked): Mia, did you hear that! It sounds like a horn!
	+ Natalie (sweating): But doesn’t a horn mean.... A war is coming...
	+ Natalie (panicking): Oh dear! Don’t tell me the vikings are battling it out with the pirates?! We have to stop them!

Natalie and Mia quickly head into the battlefield to stop the fight...

* + Jorge and Agwé (Agwé; panicking): This is the first time we’ve come to battle without a captain! How are we going to fight?!
	+ Rags (self-assured): That ain’t a problem, because from now on, consider me your new captain!
	+ Jorge and Agwé (Jorge; annoyed): HEY! Why do you get to be the captain?!
	+ Rags (pissed): Because I’ve been in the sea longer than any of you, and deserve this position the most! Any disagreements?!
	+ Sinbad (eye rolling): Hurray for you! Now what are we going to do, genius? You’re the captain after all, you should tell us from where we should attack!
	+ Rags (sweating): Uh...
	+ Natalie (shocked): EVERYONE! Drop your weapon!
	+ Vikings (Rune; angry): Stay out of this, ladies! Your time has passed already, I will make these bastards pay for what they did to my sister!
	+ Natalie (sweating): But we’re getting closer to finding her killer, please give us a chanc-
	+ Vikings (Rune; battlecry): ROAR!!!
	+ Pirates (panicking): AHHH!!!

The vikings try to attack, but Madelina stands in the way...

* + Madelina (shocked): Rune, STOP!!!
	+ Vikings (Rune; serious): Jane! What do you think you are doing there?! Can’t you see that we’re at a battle?!
	+ Madelina (pissed): I can see that clearly, and I’m here to put an end to it!
	+ Vikings (Rune; pissed): But these swindlers must pay for my sister’s death! They deserve to have a lick of my axe!
	+ Madelina (hand on hip): You don’t even know if they killed her! At least give Natalie and Mia a chance to find the REAL culprit!
	+ Vikings (Rune; crossing his arms): Fine, it’s extend their deadline! But I am getting impatient and if I don’t have her killer soon, our battle with the pirates shall continue!

The vikings get back in their ship...

* + Natalie (relieved): This was close, thank you Madelina...
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): No problem, but can you find the killer faster? Rune is a patient man but I don’t think I can control him for too long...
	+ Natalie (smiling): Sure, and Mia I think we should pay *The William* another visit!
* Investigate the gunning room
	+ Natalie (thinking): This piece of wood seems to have something carved on it, but I can’y make it out. Maybe we should recover it...
	+ Natalie (curious): And what is broken glass doing in the gunning room, and what exactly was it before it broke?
	+ Natalie (smiling): I think it would be a good idea to fix it too!
* Restore broken medicine bottle (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the gunning room)
	+ Natalie (shocked): So that was a bottle of medicine! Why would anyone break that?
	+ Natalie (thinking): Mia, we do know there’s a nurse who lives among the vikings, do you think she know who did that?
	+ Natalie (serious): We have to go ask her!
* Ask Gertrude who broke the medicine bottle (1 star; Pre-request: Restore broken medicine bottle)
	+ Valkyrie (smiling): Hey there! Is there any way we could help you?
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): Hi... We’re for the nurse, is she here?
	+ Valkyrie (smirking): Oh! You mean my mother? She’s having a sip of mead, she’ll be here in a momen-
	+ Gertrude (stern): Valkyrie! How many times did I want you not to speak with strangers?
	+ Gertrude (curious): I’m sorry about my daughter, in what way do you want me to aid you?
	+ Natalie (blushing): Well... We were looking around the pirate ship and we found this medicine bottle. It was broken and we wondered if anything happened inside...
	+ Gertrude (crossing her arms): That would be Freja... She broke the bottle in a fit of rage...
	+ Natalie (curious): Rage? What made get so angry?
	+ Gertrude (holding her head): Freja is... Very old-fashioned. She believes everything should be healed by nature and had no faith when it comes to alchemy...
	+ Gertrude (covering her face): We had clashed multiple times over the treatments I performed, and even went as far as accusing me of being a witch once!
	+ Gertrude (crossing her arms): However, she still came to me today this morning over a cough she’s gotten, and I decided to give her a bottle of medicine I found among the pirates’ possessions...
	+ Gertrude (shocked): But when I put it on her hand, she smashed it into the ground and accused me of trying to hex her! And threatened to report me to her brother for sorcery!
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): I can’t picture how much trouble you’d have gotten if she did what she said...
	+ Gertrude (covering her face): Even if she did so, it wouldn’t have damaged my credibility since even the chief knows how crazy his sister can get.
* Recover faded rune inscriptions (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the gunning room)
	+ Natalie (happy): Amazing job, Mia! Now lets send the letter to Mary so she could translate it to us!
* Send the letter to Mary (Pre-request: Recover faded rune inscriptions)
	+ Natalie (curious): Mary, were you able to translate the letter?
	+ Mary (smirking): Aye! It’s from a man by the name of “Rune”!
	+ Natalie (shocked): That’s the name of the victim’s brother! What did it say?!
	+ Mary (thinking): The letter was talking about your victim’s behavior, and her brother seems to be warning her to treat others with more respect and... You get what he’s trying to say...
	+ Natalie (shocked): Mia, we were informed that the victim wasn’t the nicest person, but we both assumed that the chief was oblivious to this!
	+ Natalie (serious): But it seems like he too had issues with her, we must go talk to him about this!
* Question Rune about his thoughts on his sister’s attitude (1 star; Pre-request: Send the letter to Mary)
	+ Rune (touching the tip of his axe): I haven’t killed anyone with my axe for a really long time and I’m looking forward to putting it in use, so you better be quick at bringing my sister’s assassin...
	+ Natalie (sweating): We have not found them yet, but we are close! We just came here to talk to you!
	+ Natalie (curious): We found this letter and we were wondering what problems you had with your sister’s behavior?
	+ Rune (covering his face): *sigh* This.... I wish I had sent that at another time, any time but today...
	+ Rune (crossing his arms): I’m sure you’ve heard the tribe’s opinions on my sister, so I don’t believe I need to explain why I decided to scold her...
	+ Natalie (confused): We did, but we would love to know why did you choose to wait until today to hold her accountable for her attitude?
	+ Rune (pissed): Because I was getting fed up by the way she’s acting toward Jane Foster!
	+ Rune (crossing his arms): I’ll be honest, I did doubt Jane’s story at first just like Freja, however I chose to play along with it just for the slight possibility that it COULD BE real, as I didn’t want to be guilty of blasphemy...
	+ Rune (covering his face): But Freja was taking it way too personal, and was too confrontational. She would pick apart the story and would take any opportunity to call her a fraud...
	+ Rune (pissed): Even after Jane had displayed her witchcraft, Freja still kept insulting her and I knew I had to put down my foot or she could risk putting the tribe on danger!

Outside the chief’s cabin...

* + Natalie (shocked): So Freja suspected that Madelina was deceiving them?! Madelina never told us these details of her relationship with her!
	+ Natalie (serious): We must go to her and get her to tell EVERYTHING to us!
* Ask Madelina how Freja suspected her lies (1 star; Pre-request: Question Rune about his thoughts on his sister’s attitude)
	+ Natalie (serious): Madelina, we were just done talking with the viking chief, and now we want to know the exact nature of your relationship with Freja?
	+ Madelina (confused): I told you, I didn’t like her, how much more honest do you expect me to be?
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): We know that and we’re glad that you didn’t hide your dislike for her, but... You didn’t tell us that she suspected your cover...
	+ Madelina (blushing): ....
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): Okayyyyyyyyyyyy.... I guess maybe I did not tell you anything...
	+ Madelina (covering her face): And... It’s worse than this. She didn’t just suspect, SHE KNEW! She even found out my real name!
	+ Natalie (shocked): Seriously?! HOW?!
	+ Madelina (panicking): Someone told her! I don’t know who exactly, but its one of the boys in the yacht!
	+ Madelina (shocked): They told her about Jane Foster too, how she is a fictional character and after learning that, she confronted me at *The William* and gave me 24-hours, if I don’t come clean then she will expose her identity as well!
	+ Madelina (pissed): I didn’t kill her, but of she spoke a word of what was told to her, the vikings would’ve had my head, so I’m glad someone killed her before she could rat me out!

Later...
Natalie (sweating): Mia, it does look like our victim made quite A LOT of enemies, Madelina especially!

* + Natalie (shocked): Do you think Madelina may have killed her to preserve her secret? I sure hope not, we wouldn’t be able to save her out of this!
	+ Natalie (serious): I think we should take one last look at the viking ship and see if the killer left anything that gives away their trail!
* Investigate dragonhead
	+ Natalie (smiling): Mmmmm.... Fish....
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): What? I’m hungry... We haven’t eaten for a day!
	+ Natalie (innocent smirk): But you don’t know! Maybe we could find something by searching the bucket, and no- I’m not saying that as an excuse just to the fish, hehe...
	+ Natalie (curious): You found something else? What is it?
	+ Natalie (shocked): A BLOODY ROCK?! That must be what the killer used to beat Freja!
	+ Natalie (thinking): There seems to be hairs covering it, do you think we should collect them and see where they come from?
	+ Natalie (happy): Mia, I feel like we’re getting closer to finding the killer!
* Examine rock (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate dragonhead)
	+ Natalie (smiling): Mia, now that we’ve got the hairs lets have Hasuro identify what they are!
* Send hair sample to Hasuro (Killer attribute: The killer wears fur)
	+ Hasuro (innocent smirk): Natalie, what are your thoughts about wearing fur?
	+ Natalie (sympathetic): I think the idea of skinning cute and fluffy animals for clothes is sadistic and I can’t imagine how someone could be so cruel to do this in the name of fashion!
	+ Hasuro (smug): Sorry, but don’t you ,like, eat fish everyday?
	+ Natalie (blushing): Y-yes but... Fish are different, also you’re talking about fun animals, who wears fish scales?!
	+ Natalie (curious): I’m assuming the sample we gave you is fur?
	+ Hasuro (confident): Yes, and since your victim didn’t wear any fur clothing items on her, I’m sure it must have come from your killer!
	+ Natalie (smiling): That is good to know, Mia lets add that!
* Search bucket of fish (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the dragonhead)
	+ Natalie (swallowing fish): Mmmmm....
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): Sorry.... I couldn’t resist myself... D-did you find something?
	+ Natalie (curious): An eye? I’m pretty sure this must be from the fis-
	+ Natalie (shocked): WAIT! That’s a human eye! Ahhhh!
	+ Natalie (sweating): Hasuro did say the victim was missing an eye, this must’ve come from her...
	+ Natalie (serious): Quick! We have to take this to Hasuro!
* Send the eye to Hasuro (Killer attribute: The killer has blue eyes)
	+ Hasuro (disgusted): You know... After the Graeae thing, I thought the sight of a detached eye would not bother me anymore, but I still feel really grossed out....
	+ Hasuro (cringing): I mean... The eye was literally squeezed out from the force and-
	+ Natalie (disgusted): Hasuro, please, neither of us want to know. Just tell us what you found from analyzing it...
	+ Hasuro (thinking): If you say so. While the eye is wet from the liquid inside the victim’s sockets, I did find a couple traces of your victim’s sweat...
	+ Hasuro (smiling): And I was able to determine that, like your victim, they have blue eyes!
	+ Natalie (glad): Thank you, Hasuro. Mia, le ta make a note on this!

Later...

* + Natalie (worried): Mia, the viking chief may attack the pirates at any second, we have to go arrest the killer immediately before a battle begins!
* Arrest the killer (1 star; Killer arrested: Gertrude)
	+ Natalie (shocked): Gertrude?! You’re the one that killed Freja? But you seemed pretty... sweet...
	+ Gertrude (shocked): Me?! I think you may have gotten the wrong person! I’m a nurse, my job is to heal people not to hurt them!
	+ Natalie (confused): I guess you make a point... But, you also need to make sure you’re pretty clear? We found traces of your soap on the victim’s body...
	+ Gertrude (blushing): Freja is known to be very hygienic, how would you know that this didn’t come from herself?
	+ Natalie (serious): Because Freja wasn’t wearing a fur during her death, we found hair samples from your fur coat on the rock you used to beat her!
	+ Gertrude (sweating): Fur is very fashionable in our tribe for both men and women, it could have come from anyone else-
	+ Natalie (curious): Except, blue eyes are very rare and you have spilled your mead all of over Freja’s body. Gertrude, we know its you so just tell us why did you kill her?
	+ Gertrude (panicking): She gave me no other choice! I had to do it to save Madelina!
	+ Gertrude (covering her mouth): ...
	+ Natalie (shocked): Madelina?! You know her secret?!
	+ Gertrude (shocked): You know it too?!
	+ Natalie (blushing): Of course we do! We’re her friends!
	+ Gertrude (relieved): Phew... So you understand why I did it then...
	+ Natalie (confused): Wait... I don’t understand, how do you know about Madelina? Did she tell you?!
	+ Gertrude (covering her face): Not exactly, I found out myself by eavesdropping on her and Freja. And this is where I learned everything...
	+ Gertrude (shocked): Someone from Madelina’s ship told Freja all about who she really is and she used this to blackmail Madelina. Either she exposes herself or Freja will uncover her identity herself!
	+ Gertrude (worried): I knew that regardless of what Madelina chooses, it would will lead to the same outcome: Her death. So tried to talk sense into Freja and begged her to stay quiet!
	+ Gertrude (covering her face): But Freja refused to remain silent, so I did what I had to do keep Madelina’s secrets from coming to light...
	+ Natalie (sympathetic): Gertrude, we appreciate you having Madelina’s back, but we promised Rune to bring Freja’s killer to him, I’m afraid we have no choice but to turn you in...

At the chief’s cabin...

* + Natalie (serious): Chief Rune, we have good news for you, we have found your sister’s murderer and its not other than your tribe’s nurse!
	+ Rune (shocked): Gertrude?! You killed Freja! How could you do that?!
	+ Rune (furious): You better have a good explanation for what you’ve done!
	+ Gertrude (serious): I have come here to receive my punishment, not answer your questions and I intend to keep my motive to the grave.
	+ Rune (pissed): So you want to play it the hard way, huh? Fine, I’ll have my men lock you up in the dungeons!
	+ Rune (serious): You have an hour for you to reveal your motive and if I don’t receive, I will gather an audience to watch me chop your head!
	+ Gertrude (brave): You can threaten me as much as you’d like, but as I told you, you’ll get no answers from me!

Outside the ship...

* + Natalie (sad): Mia, I feel bad your turning Gertrude over, do you think we made the right choice?
	+ Natalie (covering her face): I know it was either that or an innocent person would get killed instead, but she only did it to protect Madelina!
	+ Natalie (sympathetic): I can’t imagine how much guilt Madelina would have if she learned what is about to happen to Gertrude...

## Under The Sea (4/6)

Natalie and Mia returned to the ship to eat with their friends...

* + Hasuro (eating): Sooo... What are we going to do now?
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; confused): What do you mean?
	+ Hasuro (shrugging his shoulders): What I mean is... How are we going to get out of here? We’re not just going to stay here forever... right?
	+ Natalie (shocked): Oh dear! I forgot we were still in Charybdis’ stomach! We need to find a way out, our food sources will only last us a week and then-
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; worried): We’ll die?
	+ Zachary (appeasing): Woah, everyone! Chill out! No one’s gonna die!
	+ Zachary (hopeful): Alex has spoken to me earlier today and he says he’s got a plan to get us out of here and he’ll tell me everything after lunch!
	+ Zachary (serious): Mia, we may need a bit of your help, so Alex would like to talk to you to-
	+ Madelina (shocked): GUYS!
	+ Natalie (smiling): Madelina, are you hungry? We were just having lunch, would you like som-
	+ Madelina (serious): I need to speak to you and Mia, NOW!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; curious): I wonder what is bothering her?
	+ Zachary (thinking): Mia, I think you should go and check on Madelina, talking to Alex can wait for later...
* See what’s bothering Madelina (1 star)
	+ Natalie (shocked): Madelina, what’s wrong?!
	+ Madelina (panicking): Gertrude! Where is she?!
	+ Natalie (sympathetic): So you heard about it...
	+ Madelina (pissed): What did Rune do to her? What did he say?! TELL ME!
	+ Natalie (regretful): She is alive, for now, but Chief Rune set her up to be executed in an hour...
	+ Madelina (crying): No! This is all my fault! I should’ve have lied, Gertrude shouldn’t be the one to die!
	+ Madelina (panicking): I-I need to go talk to him! I can’t let him kill her! I have to come clean!
	+ Natalie (shocked): Madelina, WAIT! You’ll get yourself in trouble!
	+ Madelina (pissed): I DON’T CARE! This isn’t right, I can’t let Gertrude die to keep my secrets safe!
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): But isn’t there another way? You don’t have to out yourself, you could... You could use your influence to grant Gertrude immunity!
	+ Madelina (covering her face): You don’t get it! I can’t do that!
	+ Madelina (sad): The Vikings are still doubting my story... Maybe I could give them some simple orders, but I can’t go beyond that and pardon the woman who killed the chief’s sister...
	+ Madelina (panicking): I need to prove to them I am indeed *Worthy*!
	+ Natalie (confused): Worthy for what?
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): Oh- I forgot... You probably don’t know what *Marvel* is, but....
	+ Madelina (thinking): If you watched the *Thor* movies, you would be familiar with his hammer, Mjolnir....
	+ Madelina (serious): This hammer exists in Norse Mythology as well, and it allows only a few people to hold it. These people are considered *Worthy*...
	+ Madelina (blushing): Chet showed Rune the DVD cover for *Thor: Love and Thunder*, which showed a picture of “Jane Foster” carrying the hammer, which is why he decided to spare me, believing I am *Worthy*...
	+ Madelina (covering her face): But because I couldn’t summon the hammer, he’s doubting the authenticity of the poster...
	+ Natalie (smiling): Mia, are you thinking what I’m thinking? Lets go!
	+ Madelina (shocked): Wait! Where are you going?!
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): Oh! Mia and I have an idea on how to save Gertrude! We won’t be gone for long, we promise!
	+ Madelina (serious): I’ll wait for you, but if Rune gathers everyone for Gertrude’s execution, I will tell him the whole truth about myself, so be quick!
	+ Natalie (serious): Alright Mia, if we want to craft the hammer, we have to know how it looks first!
	+ Natalie (smiling): Madelina said that Chet showed the viking chief a movie poster that had the hammer, we could use that as a reference!
	+ Natalie (thinking): But where could find it...?
	+ Natalie (confident): You’re right, we should probably check the yacht!
* Investigate the playroom (Pre-request: See what’s bothering Madelina)
	+ Natalie (grossed out): I really hoped that after the murder, we wouldn’t have to enter this room again, like how did it get so messy and stinky?
	+ Natalie (thinking): So these are what you’d call DVDs? Do you think the one we’re looking for is inside this set?
	+ Natalie (smiling): Then lets dive in!
* Search DVD set (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the playroom)
	+ Natalie (happy): Mia, I think we found the DVD we were looking for! And look this hammer the valkyrie is holding must be Mjolnir!
	+ Natalie (blushing): And wow... She does look like Madelina, no wonder the vikings fell for this...
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): Anyway, we should probably stop standing here and get to crafting the hammer as quick as possible!
	+ Natalie (curious): Do you think Maverick woke from his concussion? Maybe we should get him to create the hammer! He’s the expect in this field after all!
* Send the DVD cover to Maverick (Pre-request: Search DVD set)
	+ Natalie (sweet smile): Maverick, how is your head feeling?
	+ Maverick (eye rolling): Still feeling a bit nauseous, but eh... I’m fine... I’m more bothered by those bandages!
	+ Maverick (blushing): I hope I didn’t say anything embarrassing during my concussion...
	+ Natalie (awkward grin): Oh... um... Not at all!
	+ Maverick (wary): Hmmm....
	+ Natalie (innocent smirk): Sooooooo.... um... Is the hammer complete? It’s looking really great!
	+ Maverick (grinning): Heh.. Thanks... Just addin’ a little final touches and I’ll be done!
	+ Natalie (excited): I can’t wait to show Madelina this hammer!
	+ Maverick (smirking): Actually... I was thinking about not telling Madelina. I’ve got a way better plan...
	+ Natalie (shocked): Huh?! Why is there wires?! Maverick, what are you up to?
	+ Maverick (winking): Lets just say, Imma give the vikings a show they’ll forget!
* Listen to Alex’s plan to leave Charybdis (1 star)
	+ Zachary (curious): Alright, Alex! Mia and I are here, so what’s the plan?
	+ Alex (serious): I’ll get to the point, but first, since the plan may sound ridiculous I’d like to point out that while, yes, Charybdis is a sea monster, she is still a living being!
	+ Alex (awkward grin): I mean, she may be large but she still breathes, eats and experiences the same the bodily processes we go through!
	+ Zachary (crossing his arms): Are we supposed to relate to her at this sense?
	+ Alex (serious): I’m getting to the point, believe me, just listen!
	+ Zachary (covering his face): Just tell us the plan, no need to complicate things...
	+ Alex (shrugging his shoulders): I was thinking... If we want to leave Charybdis, we just need to make her throw up!
	+ Zachary (confused): Make her throw up? And how are we going to do this? Feed her something gross?! In case you don’t notice, we’re literally in her stomach!
	+ Alex (curious): I know, but answer my question. If I punched you really HARD on your stomach, what would you do? How would your body react to the hit?
	+ Zachary (shrugging his shoulder): I’d probably... Throw up?
	+ Alex (serious): Exactly my point! If we want Charybdis to throw up, we have to beat up her stomach and to our luck, we are inside it!
	+ Zachary (shocked): This makes way more sense to me, but still... We’re like crickets to her, do you think we’ll the power to give her a stomachache?
	+ Alex (confident): No, but our cannons do! If we fire enough at her, we will give her into pain to force her into vomiting!
	+ Zachary (glad): Now THAT sounds like a plan! Lets me go fill the cannons!

Zachary goes to the barrels to get the gunpowder, but soon grows furious...

* + Zachary (furious): FUCK!
	+ Alex (curious): Zach, need any help there?-

Zachary smashes the barrel into the ground, revealing no gunpowder inside...

* + Zachary (frustrated): Fuck, fuck, FUCK! I must’ve used up all our gunpowder when firing at the mermen! What are we going to do now?!
	+ Alex (awkward grin): Zach, calm down... I’m sure there’s another solution....
	+ Alex (blushing): Isn’t there... Another pirate ship around here?
	+ Zachary (shocked): *The Williams*! Mia, do you think they’ll let us use their gunpowder?!
	+ Zachary (serious): I know they’ve got their issues with us, but I’m sure their just as desperate for freedom!
	+ Zachary (hopeful): Lets see if their gunner would lend us any of their gunpowder!
* Ask Cordaro if you could burrow his gunpowder (1 star; Listen to Alex’s plan to leave Charybdis)
	+ Zachary (awkward grin): Cordaro! Is see your crew finally let you go out!
	+ Cordaro and Lola (Cordaro; serious): Aye! And Lola and I are still angry at ye for snitchin’ on us!
	+ Cordaro and Lola (Lola; pissed): Ooh ooh Aah Aah!
	+ Zachary (sweating): Yeah... Sorry about that...
	+ Zachary (awkward grin): But hey! The past is on the past and maybe we could start over on a new leaf!
	+ Zachary (sweating): Especially since... We are kind of in need for a favor...
	+ Cordaro and Lola (Cordaro; crossing his arms): Even if I wanted to ye, I can’t do nothin’ without Anney’s blessings...
	+ Zachary (curious): Even if it meant getting us out of here?
	+ Cordaro and Lola (Cordaro; excited): Alright, maybe I could make a few exceptions, what do ye want help wit-
	+ Charydis: *gurgling*
	+ Cordaro and Lola (Lola; squeezing Cordaro’s face; terrified): OOH OOH AAH AAH!
	+ Cordaro and Lola (Cordaro; getting Lola off his face): Lola, it’s okay, it’s just a gurgle! Argh! Tell me quickly, what do ye want from me?!
	+ Zachary (serious): We want some of your ship’s gunpowder!
	+ Cordaro and Lola (Cordaro; sweating): Oh man... Can’t help ye with that, the ship’s ran out of gunpowder!
	+ Zachary (shocked): WHAT?!
	+ Cordaro and Lola (Cordaro; awkward grin): I was planning to buy some from Clew Bay, but sadly the crew ain’t got money to cover the cost...
	+ Cordaro and Lola (Cordaro; smiling): BUT! You know what we’ve got? Cannon balls! The aim may not be as good, but otherwise its still the same thing!
	+ Zachary (curious): Cannon balls may do the job, where do we find them?
	+ Cordaro (awkward grin): We keep em’ at that box over there, in case we faced danger and run out with gunpowder. Unfortunately, I forgot the code for the lock...
	+ Zachary (confident): That’s not a problem! I’m sure Mia could unlock it! Thank for telling us. Mia, lets go!
* Investigate the gunning room (Pre-request: Ask Cordaro if you could burrow his gunpowder)
	+ Zachary (thinking): This must be the box Cordaro was pointing it and as he said... There’s a lock...
	+ Zachary (confident): Luckily, its one of those old locks so we could easily open it through lock-picking!
* Unlock box of cannon balls (1 star; Investigate the gunning room)
	+ Zachary (shocked): Wow! These are a lot of cannons! Enough for both *The William* and our ship to fire at Charybdis!
	+ Zachary (nervous grin): We should probably go and warn everyone to stay inside their ships before we shoot... We don’t want anyone to get hurt while we open fire...

**You are now experiencing the story in third-person view**
An hour passed since Gertrude’s arrest and Chief Rune gathered everyone to the main deck to witness her execution...

* + Rune (serious): I have brought you all here to bear witness the execution of Gertrude!
	+ Rune (pissed): She was found guilty for the murder of my sister, Freja Grimsdalr and as punishment for her crimes, I shall cut her head! Any last words?
	+ Gertrude (brave): I have no words to say, I accept my punishmen-
	+ Valkyrie (shocked): MOTHER, NO!

Valkyrie rushes to her mother...

* + Rune (serious): I thought I told you to keep the child away?
	+ Viking (sweating): We tried, but when she heard her mother was getting beheaded, she panicked and fought her way through...
	+ Gertrude (sympathetic): Valkyrie... You have to go back in... You shouldn’t be watchin-
	+ Valkyrie (fighting tears): NO! I won’t let them kill you, I won’t-
	+ Female Viking (sympathetic): Child... You shouldn’t be here, please, let me take you-
	+ Valkyrie (furious): NO! Get away from me!

Valkyrie gets restrained by the female vikings...

* + Valkyrie and the female vikings (Valkyrie; screaming; getting restrained): MOTHER!!!

The rest of people at Charybdis gather around the ship...

* + Natalie (shocked): Oh dear, they’re executing Gertrude!
	+ Mia (sweating): What’s taking Maverick so long, he’s supposed to come here with the hammer...
	+ Rune (neutral): Gertrude... This is your last chance to tell me... What made you kill Freja?
	+ Gertrude (silent): ...
	+ Rune (covering his face): *sigh* It seems like you’re giving me no other choice...

Rune raises his axe...

* + Natalie (panicking): Noooooooooooooooo!
	+ Madelina (pissed): RUNE! Stop it!

Rune drops his axe...

* + Rune (confused): Jane?
	+ Madelina (sad): Rune... You can’t kill Gertrude, this whole thing... It’s a misunderstanding, she didn’t kill Freja!
	+ Chet (nervous): Mad- I mean.. Jane! You don’t have yo do this, there has to be another wa-
	+ Madelina (pissed): No! This is the only way, I’m done playing that game!
	+ Madelina (serious): It was me, I am the one you are looking for, I killed Freja!
	+ Vikings (shocked): ...
	+ Gertrude (shocked): Jane... You shouldn’t hav-
	+ Rune (confused): Wait! I don’t understand? YOU killed Freja, but Gertude-
	+ Madelina (sad): Gertrude was covering up for me, she saw me kill Freja and knew I’d be dead if any of you found out, so she took the blame for me...
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; shocked): Did Madelina actually...
	+ Natalie (panicking): Of course she didn’t! She’s covering up for Gertrude!
	+ Mia (pissed): That stupid... ugh... I have to stop her before she gets herself killed!
* Stop Madelina from getting herself killed (1 star)

Mia runs into the ship...

* + Madelina (sad): And one more thing... I-
	+ Mia (pissed): Jane, I think we all heard enough, stop talking!
	+ Mia (serious): Chief Rune, do not believe a word that comes out of this girl’s mouth! She’s trying to cover up for Gertrude!
	+ Mia (serious): Natalie and I have focused really hard on your sister’s murder investigation, and all the evidence points to Gertrude, She IS the killer!
	+ Madelina (panicking): No, she’s not! I was the one who killed Freja, you caught the wrong person! Rune, you have to believe me!
	+ Mia (gritting her teeth): Jane...
	+ Rune (holding his head): This... This whole ordeal is giving me a headache...
	+ Rune (crossing her arms): Jane, lets say that Gertrude is innocent and you killed Freja, can you provide me a reason on why you did it?
	+ Madelina (serious): Because she found out the whole truth about me! I am not *Worthy*, nor am I Thor’s mistress! “Jane Foster” isn’t even my real name!
	+ Mia (forced smile): This is getting ridiculous, if all these things you said about yourself is untrue, then can you explain the photo where you’re CLEARLY holding Mjolnir?

Mia turns to Madelina...

* + Mia (whispering): Madelina, what do you think you’re doing?
	+ Madelina (whispering): What does it look like? I’m saving Gertrude!
	+ Mia (whispering): Well, you’re not doing a good job, so shut up!

Madelina turns to the crowd...

* + Madelina (sweating): I can explain, that woman in the cover, she isn-
	+ Rune (frustrated): ENOUGH!
	+ Rune (holding his head): Jane, or... Whatever you call yourself... I’ll deal with you later...
	+ Rune (serious): Whether Gertrude actually killed Freja or not, she was still involved and as punishment for her involvement, I sentence her to DEATH!
	+ Valkyrie (crying): MOTHER!
	+ Madelina (panicking): NOOOOO!!!

But before Rune swings his axe, the vikings hear the sound of a shock...

* + Vikings (Viking 1; shocked): Chief Rune!
	+ Rune (eye rolling): What is it now?
	+ Vikings (Viking 2; curious): Do you hear that sound?

The sounds appears again...

* + Rune (curious): Huh... Where’s that coming from?
	+ Vikings (Viking 3; shocked): Chief! Look!

The viking points at a hammer...

* + Rune (shocked): Is that.... MJOLNIR?!
	+ Madelina (shocked): But... But... It’s real?!
	+ Mia (relieved): Phew... Finally...
	+ Vikings (Viking 3; excited): Get out of my way! I saw it first!

The viking heads toward the hammer...

* + Viking 3 (smiling): Here.... Come to daddy-

The viking holds the hammer and gets electrocuted...

* + Viking 3 (electrocuted): AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

The viking lets go of the hammer...

* + Viking 3 (fainting): ....
	+ Vikings (shocked): ...
	+ Vikings (Viking 1; excited): It’s my turn! It’s my-

The vikings try carrying the hammer, one by one, but end up getting electrocuted...

* + Vikings 2 (electrocuted): Argh! I can... I can... ugh...

The viking gives up and lets go...

* + Mia (shocked): But how is that... How’s that happening?!

Mia looks for Maverick through the crowd...

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; holding a remote; innocent smirk): *whistling*
	+ Mia (chuckling): Maverick, you sonuvabitch!
	+ Rune (serious): Everyone, move away!
	+ Rune (serious): The myths say Mjolnir can only be held by those who he deems worthy...
	+ Rune (smirking; lubricating his hands): And what’s more worthy, than the chief of a viking tribe, huh?

Rune holds the hammer which starts electrocuting him...

* + Rune (electrocuted): I... Can... DO IT! Argh!

Steam starts coming out of him....

* + Madelina (shocked): Rune, you have to let go! Its going to kill you!
	+ Rune (resisting): No! I know that I’m worthy, I have to resist harder-

Eventually he lets go and falls to the ground...

* + Rune (breathing heavily): *sigh*
	+ Madelina (worried): Rune, are you okay?!
	+ Rune (cracking his neck): Yeah... I’m fine...

Madelina catches Chet about to touch the hammer...

* + Madelina (stern): Chet! Don’t. You. Dare!
	+ Chet (awkward grin): What? At least I should get a try?
	+ Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; shouting): Hey! Why shouldn’t Jane try lifting the hammer?
	+ Madelina (shocked): WHAT?!
	+ Horny Viking (grinning): What’s stopping you? After all its your hammer, right?
	+ Madelina (sweating): I-
	+ Madelina (holding her head): Fine...

Madelina goes and lifts the hammer, and surprisingly she doesn’t get electrocuted....

* + Madelina (sweating; lifting the hammer): Ugh....

Eventually she manages to carry it...

* + Madelina (awkward grin): It’s a little heavy... but....
	+ Madelina (surprised): Hey! I didn’t get fried!
	+ Female Vikings: OH MY GODS!
	+ Vikings (Viking 2; shocked): She IS worthy!

All the vikings start bowing...

* + Female vikings (bowing): ...
	+ Vikings (bowing): ...
	+ Madelina (flattered): Well well... I’m liking that new kind of attention...
	+ Rune (bowing): Your highness... We are so so sorry for ever questioning your divinity. Please forgive us... We will anything you ask us for... But please have mercy on us...
	+ Madelina (naughty smirk): Anything? Hmmmm....
	+ Madelina (serious): Good, then I want Gertrude to be pardoned!
	+ Rune (shocked): WHAT?!
	+ Valkyrie (happy): YES!!!
	+ Gertrude (relieved): Phew...
	+ Rune (pissed): NO! I-I can’t do that! I can’t let her live, she killed my sister!
	+ Madelina (sympathetic): I know, and I am sorry you had go through that but... Killing Gertrude won’t bring Freja back and the last thing I want is two people dying today...
	+ Viking 1 (sympathetic): Chief... I think you have to let it go....
	+ Rune (angry): You’re taking her side?! That nurse killed my sister!
	+ Viking 1 (nervous grin): Yes... but... the hammer... You know the powers its got, you don’t want to anger her....
	+ Rune (holding his anger): .....
	+ Rune (pissed): Fine.... Gertrude, I pardon you for all your crimes....
	+ Gertrude (relieved): Thank you, sir... You are so merciful....
	+ Valkyrie (tears of happiness): MOTHER!

Valkyrie gives her mother a hug...

* + Gertrude and Valkyrie (hugging): ....
	+ Madelina (relieved): Phew...

Suddenly Valkyrie hugs Madelina too...

* + Madelina and Valkyrie (Madelina; shocked): Ah!
	+ Madelina and Valkyrie (Valkyrie; hugging Maddlina; crying): Thank you so much, Jane... For saving my mother....

Madelina gives a warm smile and hugs Valkyrie back...

* + Madelina and Valkyrie (warm smile): Please... Call me Maddie...
	+ Zachary (serious): Now that we saved the nurse, it is time for us to leave! EVERYONE, get in your ships, this is going to be one hell of a ride!

Everyone listens to Zachary and rushes inside their ships...

At the gunning room of *The Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge*...
Zachary (lifting a cannon ball): Maverick! Help me fill up the cannons!

* + Maverick (lifting a cannon ball): These balls... Are so heavy... Couldn’t we have used gunpowder instea-
	+ Madelina (worried): Guys, have we seen Mehitabel?
	+ Zachary (wiping his sweat): You mean Mehtab?
	+ Madelina (confused): Mehtab....? Is that a nickname you’ve to her?
	+ Zachary (sweating): Oh... So Chet hasn’t told you...
	+ Madelina (curious): Told me what?
	+ Maverick (grinning): Ha! Should we tell her?-
	+ Mehtab (fierce): MEOWWWWWWWW!!!
	+ Anne (panicking): *squeaks*

Mehtab spots Madelina and jumps into her arms to rub into her...

* + Madelina and Mehtab (Madelina; laughing): Hey! Stop it! I see you’ve made yourself a new friend!
	+ Mary (serious): Anney! I was wondering where you went! Come back here you rat!
	+ Anne (offended): *squeaks*
	+ Madelina (giggling): Oh! I was wondering why that rabbit was familiar! I see you’ve gotten used to your new look, Anne Bunny, haha!
	+ Anne (pissed): *squeaks*
	+ Mary (smirking): Wait a moment... Did you make her like this?
	+ Madelina (innocent smirk): I have no idea what you are talking about...
	+ Maverick (smirking): Really Mads?
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): Okay.... Maybe I put a little spell on her... hehe...
	+ Mary (grinning): I’ve got to admit... It’s amusing seeing Anne like that...
	+ Anne (holding her anger): ...
	+ Mary (hand on hip): But I’m afraid you have to turn her back...
	+ Anne (agreeing): *squeaks*
	+ Madelina (puppy eyes): Why? She’s less annoying like that...
	+ Anne (pissed): *squeaks*
	+ Madelina (eye rolling): Ok fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine, I’ll return you to how you were.... ugh....

Madelina pulls out Holly...

* + Madelina and Holly (Madelina; waving Holly): REVERTE LAPIFORS!

Anne turns back to human...

* + Anne (shocked): AH!!!
	+ Anne (holding her anger): You... YOU!
	+ Madelina (eye rolling): You can thank me later...
	+ Anne (angry): ARGH!!!

Anne was about to attack Madelina, put Mary puts her arms around her...

* + Mary and Anne (Mary; winking): Nice to have you back, old pal!
	+ Mary and Anne (Anne; holding her anger): I can’t say for certain that I feel the same way...
	+ Mary and Anne (Mary; innocent smirk): Whatever you’ve got to say, your crew is waiting at their ship, they are DYING to see you again!
	+ Mary and Anne (Anne; pissed): Oh! I’ve got a lesson to teach those fools!

Anne leaves the ship and heads inside *The William*...

* + Zachary (trying to see): Has she entered her ship?
	+ Mary (thinking): Looks like it...
	+ Zachary (getting the powder off his hands): Good, cause we’re just done loading reloading the cannons...
	+ Mary (serious): Alright then, SHOOT!
	+ Zachary (glad): You ready, Maverick?
	+ Maverick (exciting): I’m born ready!
* Shoot Charybdis’ stomach (1 star)

The ships start firing their cannons at the walls of Charybdis’ stomach, which starts to gurgle....

* + Charybdis: *gurgles*
	+ Ophelia (panicking): AHHH!!!! EARTHQUAKE!!!!
	+ Mia (eye rolling): No, you idiot! That’s not an earthquake, its the sea monster’s stomach!
	+ Alex (happy): Yeah! We’re finally getting out of here!

Suddenly a strong water pressure pushes the ship up....

* + Ophelia (shocked): AHHHH!!!!!
	+ Yoyo (shocked): AHHHHH!!!!
	+ Hasuro (screaming): AHHHHH!!!!
	+ Mia (happy): FREEDOM!

All the ships end up getting out of the Charybdis....

* + Charybdis (sick): Blob blob....
	+ Zachary (happy): We made it! We made it!
	+ Pirates (celebrating): HURRAY!
	+ Ophelia (panicking): WE’RE GOING TO FALL!
	+ Alex (sweating): Shit... I haven’t thought about that part of the plan...

But before they could fall something catches us...

* + Ophelia (docking): We’re going to die... We’re...
	+ Ophelia (confused): Huh?
	+ Yoyo (relieved): It looks like something caught us...
	+ Hasuro (confused): Yes... But the question is, what or I should I say who?
	+ Mary (blushing): Hearties... I think we’ve got a problem... Look...

The crew looks outside...

* + Skylla (pissed): Who dares cross my path!
	+ Pirates (panicking): AHHHH!!!!
	+ Ophelia (panicking): AHHH!!!!
	+ Zachary (appeasing): Everyone, calm down! There is nothing to worry about!
	+ Zachary (serious): I will handle this. I know Skylla and I’m sure that she is not going to hurt us...
* Make peace with Skylla (1 star; Pre-request: Shoot Charybdis’ stomach)

Skylla checks the windows of the *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge*...

* + Skylla (frowning): Who’s there?
	+ Zachary (forced smile): Hi....
	+ Skylla (happy): Why Zachary! Long time no see, you’ve grown quite a lot since I last saw you!
	+ Zachary (awkward grin): And you look like you haven’t aged a day...
	+ Skylla (smirking): Aren’t you such a sweetheart, as always... I presume these are your friends?
	+ Zachary (sweating): Yeah... And we were wondering if you could let us pass... I mean... All the ships...
	+ Skylla (cute frown): I could.... But my snakes are feeling rather hungry today....
	+ Skylla’s setpenys (drooling): Ssssssssssssss...
	+ Zachary (blushing): Oh...
	+ Skylla (smirking): But I guess they’ll have to starve that time. You are free to go...
	+ Skylla’s serpents (disappointed): Sssss.....

Skylla lets the ships go away....

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; relieved): Phew... That was close...
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; awkward grin): Yeah, I mean have you seen those snakes?! I wouldn’t want to get eaten by the-
	+ Mia (eye rolling): Yeah, you would rather have a Viking chop off your head!
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; laughing): Well... Duh! One is slow and painful, while the other is fast and painless! If I had to choose between those two, I’d definitely go for the beheading, haha!
	+ Mia (holding her anger): So this is all a joke to you? Ha?
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; holding her head): Mia, this isn’t the tim-
	+ Mia (pissed): You were ONE STEP away from fucking up our entire plan, and you think it is funny?
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; nervous grin): Have I missed something? Because I really have NO IDEA what I’ve done wrong...
	+ Mia (eye rolling): Of course you don’t... Why should I be surprised...
	+ Mia (angry): I’m talking about the way you acted back at the Viking ship! We told you we had a plan to save Gertrude, yet here you were, trying to play hero and you nearly sabotaged everything! You’re lucky those Vikings weren’t any smarter, or else you and your friend would’ve been screwed!
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; crossing her arms): Well.... I’m SORRY I got on the way, but that wouldn’t have happened if at least one of you bothered sharing the plan with me!
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; eye rolling): But noooooooooo! All what you and Natalie told me is that you guys have a plan. You didn’t tell me what it was and for all I know, you already tried it and failed! And I already warned that I would expose myself if your plan didn’t work out!
	+ Zachary (sweating): Girls, I think we should save that for another time. We just got out of Charybdis and we all need some peac-
	+ Mia (pissed): Except our plan worked out! What were you even thinking, trying to risk your life like that? Are you seriously that <insert r-slur>ed or is that your pathetic attempt of trying to seem heroic?!
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; pissed): So I’m crazy? How? Because I was trying to save my friend? And don’t you dare mock me for trying to “play hero” because we both know darn well you would’ve done the same if you were in my shoes and that was your friend about to lose her head!
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; serious): Also, like I said, if any of you had treated me like an ACTUAL member in the team and told me about your plan beforehand, instead of waiting until the last minute, then MAYBE I wouldn’t have acted so stupidly!
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; holding her anger): And you know, Mia? I tried to bottle up my feelings for long, but I’m honestly SO done with you! I tried to be nice to you, I wanted to be your friend but it’s pretty clear you’ve got something against me...
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; pissed): I don’t know what it is that makes you hate me so much, but all I know is that I’ve had about enough and I’m not going to stand there and let you treat me like this!
	+ Mia (grinning): So what are you going to do then? Run away again?
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; holding her anger): ...
	+ Mia (shrugging his shoulders): Then go! Nobody wants you here, you think we care?
	+ Mia (eye rolling): You added absolutely nothing to the team! We only let you in because you had nowhere else I say. Dare I say, you were nothing but a burden!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; shocked): MIA!
	+ Madelina and Chet (Chet; sympathetic): Maddie... I think we have to g-
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; furious; taking off her shoe): NO! I am NOT running away that time! I’m going to do what I should have done the day I decided to escape!

Without a warning, Madelina throws her shoe at Mia’s head...

* + Mia (startled; getting hit by the show): AHHH!!
	+ Madelina (furious): Take that you bitch!

Madelina then jumps at Mia and starts beating the shit out of her...

* + Madelina (pissed; boxing): Argh!
	+ Mia (trying to block Madelina’s punches): Ahhh!!!

Madelina continues beating Mia...

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; excited): HOLY SHIT! Shit went from 0 to 100 real fast!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; panicking): We need to take them away from each other quickly!
	+ Zachary (shocked): Madelina, ENOUGH!

Zachary restrains Madelina...

* + Madelina (twitching): Get. Your. Hands. OFF ME!
	+ Zachary (appeasing): Madelina, please.... Just take a moment to calm down and think about what you’re doing!

Madelina relaxes and then notices Mia...

* + Mia (injured): Ow...
	+ Madelina (shocked): OH MY GOD!

Immediate guilt rushes into Madelina and she runs into one of the cabins...

* + Chet (shocked): Madelina, wait!
	+ Mia (shocked): S-she... She attacked me! She actually attacked me!
	+ Zachary (sympathetic): We know... We saw everything... It’s okay, she’s gone now...
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; crossing her arms): Well... Hopefully that’ll teach you twice before talking shit about others...
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; frowning): Ophelia....
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; shrugging her shoulders): What? I’m just saying what everyone else has one mind! It was about time Madelina would snap!

Inside Madelina’s cabin...

* + Chet (concerned): Madelina...
	+ Madelina (panicking): Oh Chet... What have I done?! What has gotten into me?!
	+ Chet (warm smile): Nothing. You’re fine... Everything is fine, you just have to calm down....

Chet puts his arms around Madelina’s waist from behind and starts kissing her neck to relieve her...

* + Madelina and Chet (Madelina; in denial): I just can’t believe that... I beat her up...
	+ Madelina and Chet (Chet; serious): And you did the right thing. The way Mia was treating you... It was unacceptable and she got what she’s been asking for, for weeks...
	+ Madelina and Chet (Madelina; accepting): I beat her... I beat up Mia...

A smile comes into Madelina’s face and she turns to Chet...

* + Madelina and Chet (Madelina; laughing): I actually beat up Mia!
	+ Madelina and Chet (Chet; nervous grin): Yeah... Now can you stop laughing? You’re kind of scaring m-

Madelina kisses Chet...

* + Madelina and Chet (kissing): ...

They fall into the bed and fuck.

At Graecita, the queen is seen taking a bath...

* + Leonora (hugging her knees; traumatized): ....
	+ Marionette (concerned): Your Grace... I heard about your... assassination attempt...
	+ Leonora (serious): News really do travel fast in such a small city...
	+ Marionette (sympathetic): You must feel very traumatized right now. But take it from someone who survives many assassinations: Things will eventually get bette-
	+ Leonora (frustrates): Marionette, please! I do not want to talk about this right now! I just want to forget it happened!
	+ Marionette (sweating): I’m sorry...

Outside the bathroom, Norah is playing with her pet lioness...

* + Norah (smiling; holding a jewelry box): Atalanta, look at what I’ve brought for you!
	+ Atalanta (unhappy): Roar...
	+ Norah (concerned): Is something up? You’ve been acting very dull lately and you haven’t eaten for days!
	+ Atalanta (sad): ...

Suddenly, Shirley barges in the room...

* + Leonora (startled): Ah! Doesn’t anyone here know how to knock?!
	+ Shirley (blushing): I’m... I’m so sorry your Grace!
	+ Leonora (curious; wearing a towel): Oh... Shirley... It’s just you. What brings you here?
	+ Shirley (smiling): Your attacker! They’ve been caught!
	+ Norah (pissed): About time! Let me go teach that bastard a lesso-
	+ Leonora (determined): Norah, DON’T! I want to see them first!
	+ Leonora (serious): Shirley, dress me!
	+ Shirley (bowing): As you say, your Grace...

After Shirley dresses her up, Leonora rushes to the throne room...

* + Norah (concerned): Lea, you sure that’s a good idea? What if they try to kill you again?
	+ Leonora (smirking): If that happens, I would be lucky to have Graecita’s number one bodyguard with me.
	+ Norah (blushing; grinning): Heh... Thanks...

The queen and Norah make it to the throne room...

* + Dimitrios (bowing): Your Grace... I’ve brought to you the person who tried to assassinate you this afternoon...
	+ Leonora (serious): Thank you, Mr Moustaki. I’ll make sure you are awarded for your service, you may leave the palace now...

Dimitrios leaves the palace, leaving the queen and Norah with an assassin...

* + Norah (drawing her sword): As for YOU! You’ve got a lot of explaining to do!
	+ Vivian (startled): Ah!
	+ Leonora (serious): Norah, put your sword away! I don’t want this to escalate into violence!
	+ Leonora (curious): So I take it that you’re my assassin, may I know your identity? I don’t believe I’ve seen you before...
	+ Vivian (serious): My name is Vivian Astley and I go by he/him pronouns today, but I’m fine with they/them too.
	+ Leonora (thinking): You go by he/him pronouns... today?
	+ Norah (whispering): Lea, the person is probably gender-fluid. They identify as male at certain days and female in others. If you want to play it safe, just use they/them pronouns to avoid misgendering them in the future...
	+ Norah (frowning): Of course, if there will be any future for them...
	+ Leonora (curious): So Vivian... What do you do for a living? Do you even have a job?
	+ Vivian (crossing their arms): I have aspirations of being a theatrical actor and playwriter, but for now, I remain unemployed...
	+ Leonora (confused): You seem to be a person with really great ambitions, so I wonder... Why would you throw your life away and try to kill me? Your queen!
	+ Vivian (furious): Because I am not going to be a pawn inside your dystopian reality! I won’t let you or anyone dictate my life and who I aspire to be!
	+ Vivian (pissed): Your ruling has divided this city based on their ancestry! People are the city are being judged for who their relates to instead of who they are as a person, and you forced them to take career paths they don’t want based on who their parents are!
	+ Vivian (serious): You have put all your demigods into boxes! Children of Demeter are forced to take on farming and children of Hephaestus are made to be mechanics!
	+ Vivian (pissed): And then there’s people like me, with no godly parents and no career opportunities, except for low-income jobs that nobody wants!
	+ Vivian (furious): You know that I tried to join the House of Apollo, and also I had great skills when it comes to theatrical acting, I was turned on, and you know why? Because I had no relations to Apollo, so I was considered unqualified while less skilled actors like that blond asian was welcomed in!
	+ Vivian (pissed): I knew that it was about time a change should come to this city, so while everyone was rioting to have Medusa killed, I decided to take this opportunity to bring an end to your reign!
	+ Norah (serious): I guess this is my call for an execution. Your Grace, just give me your orders and I will-
	+ Leonora (covering her face): Mx Astley, you are free to go now...
	+ Vivian (shocked): What?!
	+ Norah (shockes): Leon- I mean your Grace, are you sure?
	+ Leonora (serious): I’ve made up my decision and I choose to spare Mx Astley. But if they try to kill me again, I won’t show as much mercy. Now leave before I change my mind!

Vivian immediately leaves the palace out of fear...

* + Norah (blushing): Lea... This was really thoughtful of you, but... Do you think it was a good idea to let them go... After what they’ve done?
	+ Leonora (serious): Well... We’ll have to find out, later..
	+ Leonora (determined): Right now, there are some changes that need to be done!
