[Congrats, you made clingy paper. That will probably kill us all.

Hm... Papey? No, that's stupid. Doom paper? ...A good name for it isn't coming to mind.]

Exactly my thoughts.

Sigmund stopped walking and jumped back, looking at the piece of paper:

-Aha! I knew it! Now, would you please listen to me? If you understand me, move in a circular fashion.

The piece of paper keeps on flaming and humming, and also starts moving up and down.

[Okay. Maybe it isn't actually sapient. Maybe it's just about to explode instead.

...Burning Paper? Humming stock? It's hard coming up with names for magical paper.]

"Dun' worries," Timothy quickly reassured the woman, inwardly quite embarrassed by getting such a reaction, "I's not wants a thing, not gonna hurts people." He tried his best to shrink himself down and act unthreatening, whilst still peering at her in curiosity.
He was used to getting a poor reception, but this seemed perhaps even worse than usual. He would get to the bottom of this! Clearly, these people need his help! Timothy began to practically itch with excitement at the idea of getting to be useful for once.
"...What'sa matters?"

>Quickly calm the woman down, reassuring her that I don't want anything, and even if I did I wouldn't be hurting people to get it.

>Then, seeing her strange demeanour, ask her just what's wrong. Offer to help solve her problems, whatever they may be!

Mark gets the heck away from the peace of Burning paper

You perform a daring leap away from the side of the ship, hoping to not get caught in a cataclysmic reality-warping event. You roll right up to the mast and hide behind it.

"Well, back where I got here from, there were a few ghosts, like us. I don't have any money on me, but maybe if you relocated over there, you could find some more customers. We could even put on a magic show to celebrate the opening."

"Do they have money?"



Right now, I'm waiting for Innsmothe to specify his travel turn before moving along with things. Skipping him a whole day would be a bit much.



In some kind of town...

Timothy tries to reassure the peasant woman, shrinking down humbly and harmlessly, a thing he is rather proficient at.

"Dun' worries, I's not wants a thing, not gonna hurts people," he says, but the woman is not visibly calmed.

"Shut up!"

Timothy, however, does not relent, as this woman clearly does not know the extent of his helpfulness.

"...What'sa matters?"

The woman does not immediately answer. Instead, she looks around, and notices a person approaching. Timothy wonders a moment what her problem might be, but then she turns back to him.

"Damn it. Didn't work. Listen, leave now! Go away!"

She begins to quickly walk away from Timothy, looking to be in quite a rush.

Timothy narrowed his eyes at the whole scene before him. Yes, something was clearly not right here.

>Do my best to turn invisible! Surely I should be getting the hang of that by now...

>Then: surreptitiously inspect the person approaching. Try and figure out why that woman would be afraid of them.
Try not to lose sight of her, though.

Get the hell away from that paper. Tell the Artiste about it, then go to the cargo hold

((Aww, I wanted it to be clingy paper!))

The paper begins to fly in your direction as you turn away from it. Uh oh.



In a town of some kind...

Timothy tries to become invisible! It's worked before, after all.

[Timothy's invisibility roll: 4]

And it works! Timothy becomes more translucent over a period of several seconds until you can't very well see him at all! He is invisible! And not blind, either. That's great! Now for some investigative work. Timothy looks at the person approaching - a man walking relaxedly, or at least that's what Timothy thinks. It might not be a man at all. It might be a woman. Or a giant spider dressed as a human being for some nefarious purpose. What he's trying to say is that he is unsure of who or what this man may actually be, and his motives are equally unknown. Perhaps this is what frightens the woman so? The unknowable nature of the thoughts of other people? The tragedy of being unable to share minds as easily as words? It might be, Timothy thinks.

Speaking of the woman, though, where'd she go? Timothy looks around, and notices her heading over to a nearby dark alley, her step having become more of an urgent run.
