Blaise nods, "Then, if the captain agrees, I think it's time to move. What if we split up to cover some more ground? As far as I can tell, we have three immediate tasks that we can pursue. Some of us can go speak with Van Djik and try to get him to spill his secrets before the disease takes him. Others can pursue the resources to copy that book. Perhaps there is a priest or similar who has some magic for sale that can quicken the process. The last thing we need is to keep recruiting crew and start delegating the smaller tasks ahead of us."
"I know we haven't known each other long, but I had an encounter with a loa sometime ago that left me with a gift. I do not get sick. I can walk through a plague ship without fear. If Van Djik is truly suffering from Yellow Fever, then I can speak with him without risk. If his disease is connected to that djab, then I wouldn't mind having someone with more insight into those spirits to help."
"That's the extent of my recommendations, captain. We'll follow your orders."
[sblock=OOC]
Just to speed things along, I propose we split up briefly. Essentially, each group should shoot for one scene (speak with Van Djik, deal with the book, and keep recruiting). My guess is that each scene might lead to other branches (Van Djik may want something before talking for example). IC, we can agree on meeting up at a set time to go towards whatever the next big goal is together. Thoughts?[/sblock]
