Funerals had a clear purpose: to end terrestrial attachments and transition the dead into a celestial state. It was by definition the end of the mourning period. Therefore, the end of the funeral signaled nothing more than a return to work. Ryu watched the crew slowly return to duty, shrugging off ...

Shorter post, but wide open for you to dictate the ceremony.

Jun-Spong was pleased to see Xiaoren. His anxiety had grown, an irrational reaction to a somewhat positive event that he had been a part of numerous times. Of course, he would leave what needed to be done to Xiaoren as the ship's elder and Jīnwū as the captain, but he had his part to play as well ...

Morning brought no peace. Much was to be done, too much, and Jun-seong was growing a deep headache, an aftershock of the previous day's trauma. His side stung as well, but physical pain was not what Ryu was afraid of. The funeral for his fallen brethren would be today. Ryu rolled more than stood ...

"Yes, captain," Ryu said with a fierce salute, quite sincere this time. "May our seas be as peaceful." And so Jun-seong parted from Jīnwū's quarters and once more went to Xiaoren. The elder was as busy as ever, tending to a nasty gash down Xī Ho's lower leg.

"Ah, Jun-seong. I would ask if you have ...

Crows peck his eyes out, Jīnwū was right. Scanning the floor, brow furled in contemplation, Ryu spoke softly, "I have overstepped my bounds. But before you dismiss me or lay whatever appropriate punishment upon me, allow me to tell a tale. When I was a young boy, Wei Gang could easily have had me ...

Ryu was seething. This upstart had the gall to treat him like a child; Wei Gang would never look down his nose (and there was plenty of nose to look down) at any sailor, much less his Jun-Seong. Ryu gritted his teeth and repressed himself, but calming himself had never been his strong suit. "I was ...

Jun-seong was rather startled upon running into the captain. He had been solely focusing on Gang's staff and neglected the fact that he was trespassing in his superior's private quarters. "Captain, uh. You see, you were with Xiaoren and he moves at a tortoise's pace and I didn't expect you to be ...

Ryu saluted once more and turned, jogging back up to the deck and deftly maneuvering up to the poop deck and settling himself on the railing where he would be able to easily survey the main deck. Ryu already had a list of perished crewmates in the back of his mind, constantly returning to the ...

I've discussed it with him and I'm fine with it.

Porter was naughty tonight. He threw a tantrum.
