( the weird head-tilt-shoulder-shrug combo she makes in response to "cursed ship" is all the affirmation clarke initially offers. because it's complicated, right? the halls are well painted masterpieces of an old world by her standards, and the entire ship is bedecked with luxurious amenities (shops, laundry machines, endless supplies of food, on demand showers and free flowing drinking water, constantly restocking medicines, clothes that weren't spun out of hard-won leather or 100 year old hand me downs, etc — swimming pools, casinos, and bars are also new to her but less marveled at) she'd never seen before walking past them. but they are still asked, practically commanded, to suffer and die on a semi-regular basis in order to keep the lights on.

and this has been happening for far longer than either her or jason's existence on the serena eterna. decades at least. centuries... who knew? )

I think the only way to cleanse it would be to completely obliterate it from reality. But every time it's sunk, it's come back.

( the more sorceresses the better tho, and maybe next time they could try just blowing it up. )

So — want a tour?
