“I see. I have really no problems with the Empire at the moment, although an Empire isn’t the most effective system of government.”
“Aye. I’ve followed them all my life without questioning their strategies, and I’ve begun to realize, well . . . they don’t care about me. None of my crew did. They didn’t respect me for who I was, they were just scared of my mother.” Nathan looks upset. “I’m starting to wonder if they left me behind on purpose. I hadn’t considered it before, but my time on this ship has opened my eyes.”
“Well if they did leave you behind on purpose, they made a grave mistake.”

My name’s Gradius, this is my second account :P I love Hollow Knight and I have been on ddb for a while. Come rp with me anytime! It is my purpose. My title that was given to me by Drummer is…SPIRIT OF THE WEST, GUARDIAN OF THE HOLLOWS.
No cost too great. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void.
A lone tear trails down Nathan’s greasy face. In spite of his grizzled appearance, Sergei realizes he’s actually quite young — perhaps in his early twenties. “But . . . what if they were right?”
Nathan shakes his crab-claw in disgust. “This loathsome appendage has rendered me useless in most every job. I’m lousy with numbers and can’t even row. All I can do is draw, speak languages, and fight — and only one of those abilities will ever aid me when I escape this wretched cruise. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life being examined by Spider Guild scientists and UMC spies. I want a normal life.”

“Her name was Octavia, but we all called her Viva. Viva the Whale-eyed, Viva the Reaper, Viva the Nightmare. She began as a whaler, but soon became much more. Caused more strife than any soul I’ve met, and I’ve spoken to the Queen face-to-face.”

“Heh. That’s what our enemies called her. I just called her Mum, same as you.”
Nathan leans back. “We’ve gotten a bit off-topic, though. I’m worried that I’ll never be of use to the Empire, and I’m starting to wonder if they deserve my help anyways. We’ve certainly brought order to the world, but it hasn’t come without its costs.”

*Starting to wonder how Cairn even got converted to the rebellion side*
”Oh…I’m not really sure what advice to give about that. In my own belief, I think if the Empire succeeds but at a large cost, it’s hardly worth it. All Empires eventually fall.”

Nathan smiles. “Thanks for listening to my complaints, Sergei. Your thoughts have been most helpful. I won’t say I’m against the Empire, but perhaps I’d be better served by striking out on my own. Maybe I do have some worth beyond my false title.”

A tall plasmoid walks into the Whalebone Inn, stooping its head underneath the doorframe. It walks up to the bar and says the bartender, "Got any rooms?"
The eight-armed creature nods. He reaches under the counter, his handsome mask deforming against the bar as it does so. When he rises back up, he holds a small key. "Suite 13, my good sir." He holds it out with his long, long arms. "Comes with the voyage."
"Thank you." The plasmoid reaches an also noticeably long arm and grabs the key. "This sure is an interesting boat."
"It's the most technologically and magically advanced ship on this Mocking Earth, my good sir. I'm glad we've grasped your interest."
"Most technologically and magically? Dang. That would make sense according to the rumors I've heard about this place. Apparently there's a hug bottomless pit below decks filled with all sorts of random things."

I heard life is what passes when you're too busy living.
"Just grateful to be living. How about yourself?" The plasmoid takes a seat on a stool as he says this.
He grins, "Couldn't have put it better myself! I've got breath in my lungs, strength in my bones, and whiskey in my belly. Ain't life grand?"
"That it is. I'm Mikkel. What's your name?
“I’m Benji, Benji Brasswood.” He studies you, “Do you dance Mikkel? Do you swing?”
"I've seen other people swinging and I think I could if I tried, but considering my shape and the fact no one ever wants to dance with me I don't. I'm not grieved about it though."
