Background

The following accounts can be traced to a single leather-bound journal originally found in a locked wooden chest alongside a sextant-like device of indeterminate origin and a shell that matches no known species of mollusc. The chest was located in a storage room in the Legscraper’s lower levels that was described as “smelling faintly of the sea”. Subsequent attempts to locate and navigate to said room have been unsuccessful thus far. The journal details the exploits of the crew of a large sailing vessel, The Tokyo Adrift, descriptions of which are largely consistent with mid-17th century galleons.

With The Tokyo Adrift

Jess was a temporary hire for the crew of the Tokyo Adrift. A deft hand with the rigging and sails of large vessels such as the Adrift, she worked in exchange for safe passage aboard the ship. Despite attempts from the journal’s writer to pry into her history, she was notoriously tight-lipped about her employment prior to joining the crew. She vehemently denied claims of her passing resemblance to a famous corsair from the Golden Era of piracy on the Immateria Seas.

Jess was also able to assist the Adrift in long distance communication through a flock of messenger pigeons, each of which was trained to return to a different port on the Immateria Sea. She was also well versed in semaphore signalling, allowing the Adrift to communicate with other ships from a distance. This often necessitated sharing the crow’s nest with Grollis Zephyr to allow the flag signals to be seen from a greater distance. Jess’ pigeons appear to have had an on and off rivalry with first mate Lance Serotonin’s parrots, however she did take over the responsibility of caring for the parrots when Lance [REDACTED] under deep scrutiny and was unable to care for them any longer. Similarly, the pigeons enjoyed roosting in Lotus Mango’s palm fronds and would compete for the space with the parrots.
