[Action]
[The Seas were Sinbad’s natural environment – when they were behaving normally. However, due to recent events, they were rolling and bucking like mad, making the two passengers on the ship heading towards Union’s port deeply regret their decision to go seawards – He’s not sure about Morgiana, but he’s almost certain he’s going to be feeling it the next day.

After checking for the Umpteenth time that Morgiana hadn’t been thrown overboard by the last swell he sprang up as the docks go within jumping distance. He waves to anyone that might be out watching the seas as he turns back to the young woman]

Ah! Morgiana, We’re almost there! So that Warp Band you got is gonna work now?

[Video]

[Sinbad clears his throat lightly before he starts speaking - he’ll really have to make this first impression count]

People of Union! We’ve come hearing that you are in trouble, and we’ve arrived to render assistance! I am Sinbad - Merchant and Adventurer and I believe some of you already know my companion Morgiana from her previous time here.

[He lets Morgiana take control of her warp band]

...Anyways! We travelled a long ways since we heard that someone was causing unnatural distortions in the region’s weather, and obviously we couldn’t let that happen. Now then - where can we go to see the King of this City -

[At the point Morgiana’s voice can be heard from off screen.]

Union doesn’t have a king. It’s a republic.

[Then Sinbad glances off screen, speaking quietly, but his voice can still be heard by those with good hearing]

It is? Really? Not many city-states are...

[She shifts the view around so it shows her face instead of Sinbad’s.]

It is as he says. I heard rumors that things were going wrong here, so I talked him into heading back north with me to see if we could help.

Sinbad is…mostly trustworthy, I’d say.

Mostly?

[He can be heard off-Camera]

My sincere apologies for my false assumption on how this city functions, but as I had said before, I am more than happy to help wherever I can, and I do have other business I would like to conduct once all is well.

I...don't actually know. They had been around for a while by the time I arrived there, at least.

[Morgiana fiddled with the controls on the warp band, trying to get a good signal, but they were still pretty far out. All she was getting was static..]

It must really help with getting news around quickly when it is working. So you just press these buttons like so...?

[He peers closer, the Dratini wrapped around his chest popped it's head up, and lets out a small sigh as static appears]

Huh? Guess we're not close enough then?

No wait, I think...

[She fiddled with the dial and for a second the static gave way to the sound of voices, but then faded out again.]

Well. We're close. Give it a few minutes.

[He grins, pumping his fist while Badr let out a surprised sound at voices as he stands up, running to the bow. Sinbad jumps at once point - an odd move until the ship pitched at the same time]

Alright! Wow... now that we're closer - it's really tall. I think that building's almost as big as those salt pillars in the Mineral ruins.

[She hopped up to the front of the ship herself to see.

Sure enough, there it was. Home.]

The towers of Union are far taller than those were.

Really?!

[He leans on the edge, before glancing back with a cheeky grin]

I do hope they're far more sturdy then those were.

[Morgiana takes a moment to shake off flashbacks of running across cracking ground while pillars collapse all around her.]

They'd...they'd have to be. People live in them.

[And given how Badr shuddered, the poor little dragon probably had the same memory]

Seriously? They do? I can't imagine how much a climb it'd be for people living at the top of them - all those flights of stairs...

They have elevators...

[Suddenly, a squawk of static from the warp band hanging from her hand. She checked on it a bit more closely.]

Ah! I think we're getting a signal now!

Ah! Fantastic!

[He hovers close, trying to see the screen]

[There's another drift of static, a disconnected bit of someone saying "More like three quarters..." before fading out, then the signal stabilizes and the light by the camera turns red, showing that it is ready to start recording. Morgiana pointed it at Sinbad.]

Say when, and I'll start broadcasting.

[He nods, and moves carefully back - mindful of the way the boat's moving until she signal he's in the frame.

Sinbad gave her a thumbs up]

Let's get started!

[And then all the video threads happened.]
