Fortunately he is not quite quick enough and she is able to float away. Grumpus sits down in his lava pool and grumps some more as the spirits fly off to see about the mortals! <br/><br/>Happy spirits float and fly about looking to see what they can learn! Out into the storm to see the ship they go!</em></span></span><br/><br/><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/4pMiQWV.jpg)</div><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><em>There are indeed many creatures on this ship! They resemble the Spirit of Blossoms, or the Reaper if she had been more than bones. Just as Bubble reminds you that the Reaper told you, they walk on two legs, they wear clothes and hats, and they are speaking and shouting frantically! They are trying to fix their sails, to bail the water out of their ship, to do all they can to stay afloat! <br/><br/>As happy spirits investigate they realize something. The mortals cannot see them! Or hear them! In fact it does not seem that happy spirits can interact directly with the mortals in any way! <br/><br/>Cor realizes he is too far away from the earth out here in the water to summon much land, and the best he can do is probably bring up a few bits of earth that will not hold more than a few mortals! <br/><br/>Time is running out! If spirits do nothing, the mortals will likely all drown! <br/><br/>What do you wish to do?</em></span></span><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Thus far only Bubble has actually stated an intention, which will be resolved along with any other actions taken in the next Storyteller post! Please choose to help or hinder and describe how you are doing so! =)
