It doesn't regenerate? Interesting... I wonder what part of the Eterna manages that? The ghosts, the Captain, or our souls? If it's the latter, we may want to campaign for more care around the ship...
I wonder if the bridge was actually ever destroyed in Jenny's pursuits. After all, it isn't a standard physical location. Friday and the Captain both say living things cannot enter it, but I think what they mean is that creatures with souls cannot enter. Maybe there's a sigil somewhere that would allow us access... still, I don't know if I want to begin messing with things that I don't understand. Generally, I'm all for it, but in this particular case, it puts more than my own life at risk.
I suppose I could always ask...
Ah. The name is familiar, but no, I didn't meet him. I assume that he's one of the ones who's disappeared, then? What did he say to Jenny to placate her?
It does make one wonder, doesn't it? In a situation where our souls are apparently already being worked upon constantly, perhaps it's all a bit moot anyhow...but then again, I suppose any small measure to not accelerate our collective demise ought to be considered all the same...
That's another interesting question, though, about the bridge. Well, this strays into matters rather beyond my own expertise, but if what you say about the nature of the bridge is true...actually, that doesn't at all surprise me. I suppose this would imply the bridge is an "intangible" sort of space in the same way the captain is selectively intangible to incoming attacks of the physical sort, yes? It would explain how even sinking the entire ship in a storm would do little to actually disrupt anything--if the actual essential components of this 'astral chamber' are generally stored in...a different plane, of some sort?
Hm, if such a sigil did exist...you're not wrong, going in there blind would probably be the worst course of action. Ought to at least have a rough idea what to expect, lest you either destroy yourself or...yes, even worse: inadvertently destroy something actually fundamental to the workings of this vessel, while we're all still on it. ...I wonder if the captain's ever actually invited any soul-having person inside that bridge before? Assuming it's a place he could make habitable for brief periods, if he were so inclined. I'm not sure if Miss Jenny ever had such a privilege even during that blackjack game...
[Something to ask her the next time she returns, perhaps? Or...well, right--]
You do seem to have something of a strong track record of asking questions and actually garnering interesting answers from the captain, true! You might want to write this down, then. Or add it to your list, if you've already made one. You know, of things to ask the captain the next time you pay a friendly visit to the bridge door.
[Since you two seem to hang out! So frequently of late!! Not that there's anything too judgmental about it on Jade's end (yet), considering just how much useful information Skulduggery's ventures with the captain have yielded so far. But...it sure does seem to be kind of a thing they have going?? But anyway.]
Where Flynn is concerned...yes, that is so. He was present during the camping excursion, but afterwards he could no longer be found, in similar fashion to others who have disappeared here. [At least through text, Jade's sigh to himself as he writes this out about here goes unheard. Even several weeks later it's still an unhappy thing, irrelevant as such semantics might be to this conversation; he'd have been inclined to declare Flynn something of a friend, in the time they'd gotten to know each other. But...that's still beside the point, all the same.] From what I recall of what he reported after the fact, he appealed to her pursuit of her brothers--that sinking the ship would produce no newer of a result than all the last times she'd tried. He also promised to her that we would all collectively try our best, to help her free their souls from this ship.
Flynn also mentioned she has been forgetting more and more about her siblings, however, even despite the strength of the goal that keeps bringing her back here. Between the influence of the captain's power over this place, and likely also the impact of crossing realities as she does. She told Flynn she'd be searching anew for any other entities that might be willing to aid us, when she departed, as she still fully intends to return for her brothers someday...we ought to prepare for such an occasion, but I do wonder what state Miss Jenny will be in the next time around. Negotiating with her again may be more difficult, between this and the fact that Flynn is no longer here. We'll have to uphold his promise to her in his place. Jenny's devotion to her brothers may very well be the only thing keeping her from becoming a being even more similar to the captain, as you fear...
I don't think he'd want people tracking mud through his astral chamber. Or... emotions, or whatever we supposedly leak that makes us so reprehensible.
My entire life is littered with "track records" with maniacs, as they are unfortunately a dime a dozen where I'm from. I'm a detective who specializes in magical doomsday events and maniacal sorcerers with delusions of grandeur. The Captain really had no idea what he was doing when he swept me out of the timeline. His mistake! 💀
There's a man you'll likely run into at some point, short, graying hair, one of the pirates. His name is Izzy Hands. I gave your name to him because he's interested in learning more about Jenny and the possibility of helping her find her brothers. Even if Flynn can't be the one to extend the olive branch again, we'll have someone else.
Of course, if she's descended into a similar madness as the Captain has, we'll have more than our share of work cut out for us. All the more reason to see if the effects can't be reversed -- not just for our sakes, but now Jenny as well.
And the Captain. But something tells him that trying to include their captor in the list of people to save won't go over well with... well, anybody. A bit of a private goal, then...]
