Title: Anchorage Unknown
Character/s: Renne
Location: Portsmouth Harbour
Rating: G
Status: Open
There hadn't been much in London to explore aside from empty buildings.
Ghosts of themselves, really.
So he'd moved on and eventually found himself at a Portsmouth shipyard.
The boon of finding this place, as he carefully found out, was the vast number of empty ships still in dock. Moored to their places, those ships waited for crews that probably would never show up. This was a boon. This was also a drawback. If there had been one thing Renne had learned it was that you don't take light any ship. Ghost-ship, abandoned ship, any ship. It saddened him to crawl across silent, rotting decks and anytime he ran face-first into a mainmast or a mizzen, he felt like crying.
That was not however, logical.
The logical thing to do was to find a small enough, suitable vessel and take to the sea.
The problem was, when he eventually found such a vessel, Renne knew he couldn't take her out right off. He had to learn her first and not just how to handle this tiny little ketch.
It wasn't all that common, True-blind wannabe-sailors.
