MEMORY 1 ☠ video
[What greets the feed is a pair of frowning blue eyes and the sounds of buttons being hit on the console, along with the mutterings of a Welsh-accented voice.]
Is this blasted device going to function...? Might be a kick or two will sort it out--
[Thankfully, before he resorts to that, the man realises he's done something correctly and the feed is displaying. He draws back, revealing a tanned, weather-beaten and scarred face, and a nose that looks like it's been mashed in at least once, all framed by a mess of blond hair. The man seems cheery enough, at least, despite his potentially fierce appearance.] Ah-- Ahoy, lads and ladies. Seems I'm a new addition to this little turtle-backed voyage. Name's Edward.
[He almost considered giving a false name, but really, who would recognise him in this place? And even if they did, they'd pose no threat to him, alone and without allies here. In any case...]
This wouldn't be the first time I've been whisked away by some Emperor or another, but I've little reason to bend the knee to this one. [He smiles, mirthlessly.] To business, then. I'd be much obliged if one of you charming bunch could introduce yourselves, and tell me where the best place is to knock back a drink.
[Priorities. So in order.]

I'm no carpenter or shipbuilder, if that's what you're asking, but I can fix up a ship that needs doing. How much are you offering to "probably" pay me?
[He might be able to guess from Edward's tone of voice that probably isn't good enough. If he doesn't benefit from this, no deal.]
video;
Take a look at what needs doing and toss me a price? I'm not picky.

That seems a fair arrangement. Where's this boat of yours, then?
video;
Got a dry-dock set up for it, inland. A friend of mine can carry it once it's done, no problems there.
When're you free?
