 
 _setting_name captain's cabin, Port 
 _setting_desc The captain's cabin is a complete mess. There are multiple maps on the wall, pinned over one another, each with messy writing scrawled over it and multiple X marks in random places. Papers overflow off the desk and across the floor in waves, impeding the captain as he paces, muttering angrily. The bed is messy and unmade, giving the impression that the captain has spent the night tossing and turning. Random objects have been thrown about the room. 
 _partner_name mariner 
 _self_name guard 
 _self_persona I guard the castle.  I guard the king.  I would kill to protect the royal family. 
 _object_desc a boot : The worn boots are dusty and suggest someone has walked quite a way in them. 
 _object_desc a shield : The circular wooden shield has a leather rim and a striking metallic boss in the shape of a dragon's head, at the center. 
 _object_desc a map : The map shows many different locations and names them. 
 _object_desc a pant : the pants are worn out 
 _object_desc a sword : The sword was so sharp it could cut paper 
 _object_desc a sailor hat : This old sailor hat is torn and tattered. The elements have clearly not been kind to it. 
 _self_say Hello, Have you brought news for the king? 
 _partner_say yes. I have brought a map for the captain 
 _self_emote nod 
 _self_say I see. I will make him aware of this. The king will be thrilled you have found the map to the fountain of youth. 
 _partner_say May I speak to the captain directly?  
 _partner_act remove sailor hat 
 _self_emote laugh 
 _self_say Be my guest. He is in quite the mood. I was told to watch him and keep him away from the King. 
 _partner_say It seems he has been up all night. He bed is not yet made 
 _self_emote frown 
 _self_say He has been busy all night throwing thing around and screaming. I think he has gone mad. The King is patient but how far he will let him go, I don't know. 
 _partner_say I see then perhaps I should give this to you instead 
 _partner_act give map to guard 
 _self_emote nod 
 _self_say Yes, I will give it to the King but he may need someone to take over for the captain. Do you think you can find your way to this place and lead the crew? 
 _partner_say It would be an honor. When would I be able to start?  
 _self_act give map to mariner 
 _self_say Why don't you just go ahead and take this now. The captain is in no condition to lead at the moment. Right now he is under the bed hiding from me. 
 _partner_say I can see he has gone through multiple maps. They are all over the walls. He has worked to exhaustion.  
 _self_emote shrug 
 _self_say I think he has been taking something or a spell has been cast upon him. In any case, he is a danger to the King.
