[SCHOLAR OF THE CITY] All they can do is sit there. Waiting. Drowning. Smiling. Drowning. Smiling. Waiting.
<span class="mu-i">Is there anyone who would even cry for us? For our loss?</span>
"They're waiting for an offering." A look of pity crosses Adam's face. "I'm not sure what kind of offering but I doubt they're leaving until they get it."
A crowd of crewmates and sailors surrounds your group, staring down at the anomaly. Their mutters and murmurs only seems to cause the anomaly to stretch its many arms out even more, begging for something. Their smiles grow wider but you can tell how forced they are.
"It won't leave. Until we acknowledge it." Benedict takes a deep, shuddering breath. "I know. What it's like to feel pain. Like you. I am sorry."
One of the corpses looks up at Benedict. The two anomalies stare down at each other. A mutual understanding of what they are. What they feel.
"... ... JOIN?" One of the corpses croaks out.
"No. I am. Sorry. Not. Today."
What do you want to offer towards the mass of smiling corpses? Pick up to three. <span class="mu-b">The more you offer, the greater the reward.</span>
>[ASHLEY ALLY] Ashley looks down at the WHALEBONE GUITAR she got. "Mind helping me make a song for it?" (CHARM DC: 23, rolling 7d6. Pass and the anomaly will be appeased and will accept the song as an offering. Failure and you doubt the corpses will be too pleased.)
>[ADAM ALLY] Adam stares at the corpses below with pity. He clasps his hands together and begins to pray. (Consumes ADAM's RESTRAINT OVERFLOW.)
>[BENEDICT ALLY] Benedict quickly slices at his hand before letting the blood flow out into the water below. "Accept this." (-2 FLESH from BENEDICT)
>[UNSTABLE] Cry for it. Cry into the ocean. Let your tears flow. Let it all flow out. (-2 RESTRAINT FROM NICOLE.)
>[SCHOLAR OF THE CITY] It's customary to offer the dead one last drink or smoke. (Choose between 3 HIGH CLASS WHISKEY or your MARTLO CIGARETTES if you pick this.)
>You have some old mementos from another anomaly that's passed on. Toss them to the corpse. Perhaps they can take it as a sign to move on. (-PHILLIP and ACTRESS ID CARD, -REGRETFUL NECKLACE.)
>"Cry out for us. Tell us your stories. We shall listen." (All ALLIES must make a DC: 18 RESTRAINT check to avoid taking RESTRAINT damage. Regardless of failure or success, it will count as an offering.)
>Toss a coin into the water. A final payment for their services. (-1 GOLD DOUBLOON. You may offer 2 or 3 coins to boost the quality of your reward at the end.)
>[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] Record some footage of the corpses with MEMORIES OF A FORGOTTEN ERA, then show them the footage. (WILLPOWER DC: 31, rolling 8d6 with the help of Benedict. Pass and your offering will GREATLY please the corpses, increasing the quality of your final reward. Failure and it's likely there will be some nasty backfire between the PARADIGM and anomaly.)
>Don't offer it anything. Simply stare at the corpses and let them pass by. You don't recognize their faces.
>Write in.
