[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 7045831, member: 6855204"] [ooc] Ok, welcome to consequences for your actions![/ooc] For the majority of the group, the next day goes quickly. The food is edible. The beds aren't entirely uncomfortable. Korlin spends much of his time tuning and playing his lute while getting to know the others. He seems to be frustrated, trying to use the music to calm himself. He's cordial, and charming, but he definitely has something on his mind. When asked, he simply says he lost something. Merrilon goes off on Quenting the next morning, accusing him of going through her room. She refuses to talk to him from that point forward, threatening to call the ship's crew on him if he tries to talk to her. And then there's Mim. See, Mim was caught. The next morning, some of the crew came to his room, and threw him in the ship's brig. They didn't bother to search him, or his room, and told him they'd let him go when they got to the Academy, but if he somehow gets out of the brig, they're just going to toss him overboard and be done with it. Seems they didn't take to the pranks (and he didn't roll well enough on stealth and Sleight of Hand).
