[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8107003, member: 59816"] [b]Volunteers[/b] The prisoners who volunteered to help in the ship's offloading were assigned tasks and Kriv sent them out into the driving sleet under the watchful gaze of a dozen guards. Three of them manned the large wheel that would raise and lower the elevator car, while the others rode it down to the slippery, ice-coated docks, where they began to chip away that the slick surface with icebreakers. By the time the first crates had been hoisted over the ship's side, they were already cold and damp through the tattered greatcoats that had been provided. Prisoner 284, while directing a load onto a sledge with his hook, managed to palm a steel comb out of a crate with a broken seal, and slipped it into Prisoner 287's greatcoat. The move had been smooth as silk, but the second prisoner's reaction momentarily alerted a guard who stepped in to keep them apart. It was well known that the two had botched some sort of heist, and the guards expected the rougher one to murder the nobleman at any time. They had a bet going. But Kriv would not stand for it during a task such as this. [b]"Keep it going, you two!"[/b] barked the guard as prisoner 137 hauled the sledge away while beginning a well-known chant that had others joining in, keeping the work going. This made the guard nod, satisfied, as the work continued at a steady pace. [ooc]More to come.[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
