"Then we shall provide so that we may be provided for."
He waddles forward a few feet and then stops. He spreads his wings, shudders, and leans forward so that his beak is held out flat and is almost touching the deck. He opens his baggy mouth wide, and it seems to pool with liquid shadow. Then a skeletal hand reaches out and grasps the edge of the bill. Another arm comes forth and an ethereal head rises up from the birds maw.
A dead man clambers out of the Pelican and onto the deck. Small bits of flesh cling to incorporeal bones and tattered rags hang from a skeletal frame. A pained expression is frozen across the drowned spirits face and its mouth is locked open in a gasp for air. It staggers towards you a few steps and then stops. A muffled voice speaks almost as if it was coming from under water, "You... offer salvation?"
The Chef smiles. "Of course. I offer you a second chance at life. Not unlife, but an entirely new life where you can work a fulfilling job, eat pleasant food, learn new skills, meet new people, go exciting places, and be appreciated for your service. And none of it will be in hell, which is a major upside." He places a hand on the spirit's "shoulder." "How does that sound to you?"
The hollow gaze of the dead man looks up at you and the drowned voice speaks again, "Sounds just like what the captains said to get me on their ships. I ended up drowning."
*I can't help but imagine this whole interaction from the spirit's perspective. It must be so surreal.*
*Yeah. I doubt he thought this is what would be happening to him after death. Your chef would be terrifying to see in the afterlife with his rubber mask and all.*
*A bunch of pelicans are trading the souls of the damned to a powerful sea cambion in trade for gourmet meals. Normal stuff, normal stuff.*
*Ah. Makes sense.*

No cost too great. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void.
I think we should just skip Gibber. Are Parzival and Nothic still here?
*Not sure if Nothic is even playing, but I think it’s fine cause we’re gonna do multiple rounds.*

Orion had earlier handed out 50 chips to every player. He taps the table, indicating the ante. After the players ante up, it’s Flynn’s turn to place his bet. Sergei will have to match him and can raise it, pass the turn, or fold. Same with Thervan to Sergei.*

Auguste looks faintly sympathetic. "If you don't like what I offer you, you can back out whenever you need to. You'll never even have to see the water if you don't want to. There is a massive, sprawling interior that needs work done here and there. Do you like cooking? Machines? Magic? Whatever your specialty, there is a place for you whenever you need it. Of course, if hell sounds like the safer option, I have no power to keep you here against your will."

I am Z, a silent architect weaving tales from the shadows.
Embrace the riddles, savor the essence, for in this narrative, I am the storyteller, the detective, the dreamer, the zephyr of tales untold.
In each verse, discover a journey where reality and dreams entwine, a dance of words that whispers the unsaid.
In the symphony of confusion, I simply remain, Z
