Abnegation

To Eden

                  -The princess watches as the paladins finally relax upon reaching Neptune...-

She notices them walking and laughing together as if they were family! Lora smiles happily until they reached Neptune's-gates! "Alright, it's time!" Jade explains. Lancelot agrees "Yeah, let's go! We hafta search every inch of this place ta find th' guy.", Percival frowns "Yes... The king tried learning more about him, but it seems as if his business isn't exactly... famous... at least as much as it used to be: there's little to no details on where he lives now...". 

In the Sea-city: the group notices ships and huge-salvage-cranes pulling up junk form the bottom of the ocean. Ship-parts and bottles can be seen more than anything else when one looks at the pollution, Lancelot thought out-loud as they stare at the sight "Ah... I see the Govn'a started that garbage shit already...". Jade replies "Yeah... she might be the only ruler who is, too...", Lora sighs upon hearing the captain somewhat mumble this... Jade then looks up from her cell "Alright, I texted Olimpia and she says Craig usually stays in the castle-town around the café... He hardly actually leaves the area apparently, so we'd SHOULD find him easily...", "Then let's hurry..." Gawain excitedly says. Percival sighs "You WOULD  be excited for that...".. Lancelot laughs "Don't make funna him, I'm hungry as shit, too!", Jade laughs too as they head to the palace...

In the Castle-town: they look around the area, as Jade checks her cell again... "He's due East... at least, that's where the café is..." she informs... They walk through a collection of shopping-malls and real-estate until they see a single-building with a wrap-around porch which overlooks the ocean... They casually step up on it, and catch the attention of a few customers, until... Jade lies her eyes on Craig! "There he is!" she says in a excited tone, yet only loud enough to reach the civilians near them: this causes many to leave, assuming a arrest was going on...  The paladins then home in on Craig... "Excuse me... Mr Shawn?" the captain asks...

"Craig Shawn stands at 5'6-170'70, and is slouched over his beer... He, similar to Blackbeard: has a rotund-body that shakes and jiggles with every movement, it's covered in a old-looking t-shirt and blue-overalls... His long, blond hair covers the back of his neck and comes over his eyebrows in his front. His eyebrows themselves cover his eyes from their bushiness, the drunk's mumbling sounds like his originally has a deep, slightly gravelly voice, with a positive tone... but now it's slurred and very sad sounding..."

The pilot turns toward her "Huuuuuh... Wazzit, lady??", Jade steps back from the smell emitting from him: the other captains unconsciously make a wall around Lora as they watch the drunk drift and back and forth... "Um, Craig? We need your help..." Jade says loudly: still trying to communicate with the man. Craig cackled "Whaaaat, do you want... some lovin'?? Heheheh...", she sighs then explains "This is important for Hyperborea itself: we need you to make a plane that can take off near a specific area...". Craig smiles "A plane??? I ain't... no pl....sshhh... I..." he replied, Jade sighs "We're not getting anywhere with him: he's smashed to hell...", Percival glared "I can sober him up, captain..." he suggested. She sighed as she replies "No... your way of sobering him up, would probably make him hate us... we're trying to do this peacfully, remember?", she then prepares to turn "Let's see if we can find another free pilot: we don't NEED Craig...". They suddenly hear a small, yet upset voice! "Dad! How could you!??"...
