THE FREEZE - Chapter 2: Life on the Cruel Sea - Episode 3

Hungry, and angry at their mistreatment at the hands of Sanza and the other fishermen, (Captain) and the others are in low spirits. Then, Jin suggests that if they catch their own food, it should be OK to eat it, and the party agrees. Then, as they clean, they begin stealthily fishing.

---

After saving Lancelot and Vane, (Captain) and the others hardly catch their breath when the other fishermen return.

Salty Fisherman: Oi! What're you idling about for? You need to clean off the deck of all this mess! Can't ya do anything yer told?

Lancelot: Wait, (Captain) and the others were just helping Vane and I…

Salty Fisherman: Oh? Anyone who caused this mess can clean it up! Now shut up and get to work!

Joel: …Understood. Though, where are the cleaning implements?

Salty Fisherman: If you need something look fer it yerself! I don't wanna hear another word from your mouths!

Joel: …He seemed very angry. Did I do something to upset him?

Ippatsu: the atmosphere on the ship does seem a little strained…

Soriz: Well, nothing we can do but look for cleaning stuff, I guess.

Vyrn: That's true, let's go (Captain)!

Jin: Hmm, nothing over here. Do you think they'll have a cleaning cupboard or something.

Vane: If they use these things a lot, they might not put them away properly… might we have overlooked something?

Lyria: …Oh! I've found something! These are mops for scrubbing decks, right?

Eugen: Ah! Good work, Lyria! We'd better get to work then.

(Captain) and the others begin scrubbing the deck with the mops Lyria found.

Vane: Bleurgh, I had hoped moving about might make me feel a little better…

Lancelot: Are you still struggling, Vane? Maybe you just need to stay on the boat a little longer.

Joel: Everyone tends to react to the effects of seasickness differently… they do all tend to get used to eventually, but…

Vane: I hope I get used to it soon… Do you think this would be good place to do so?

Eugen: Yeah, we might want to get some sawdust or something, just in case…

Salty Fisherman: Hey! What're you doin' now?

Agielba: What… we're cleaning the deck, like you said.

Salty Fisherman: You blitherin', useless land lubbers! Those are the mops for the cabins!

Salty Fisherman: Blast me britches, they're filthy! Using these in the cabins will just make 'em reek o' seawater.

Lyria: I-I'm sorry… this was my mistake… please don't punish the others!

Salty Fisherman: Shut yer trap! You green hands are all responsible for one another! Cap'n's orders!

Lyria: Oh no… I'm sorry, everyone… this is all my fault…

Vyrn: This isn't your fault, Lyria! They never told us we weren't to use those mops!

Soriz: Yeah he's right, don't get so down on yourself!

Lyria: …OK. Thank you everyone.

Ippatsu: Phew… times like this I could really go for a bowl of ramen…

Soriz: Ach, don't even talk about food. I'm so hungry, are we really going to have to go without meals today?

Jin: …I wouldn't say that.

Eugen: Hmm? What do you mean by that, Jin?

Jin: They didn't say anything about getting our own food, let's go fishing!

Joel: …Ah, that's right, we could do that.

Soriz: Hahaha! I'm not sure what we'll be able to catch in this damn cold, but we are surrounded by ocean.

Jin: We should look for something we could use for fishing while we look for more cleaning stuff.

Agielba: Good thinking, then we can fish while we clean.

Lancelot: Haha! We'll be able to do it in secret, like wayward schoolchildren playing a prank.

Vyrn: All right! Sounds like a plan! Let's get to it!

Agreeing with Jin's proposal, (Captain) and the crew begin secretly fishing.

Though they do not have bait, soon the rod begins dipping…

Fish: (splish splash)

Jin: Whoa, it's quite a big one. Will this be okay?

Soriz: Don't know if it'll feed everyone… Us grown-ups had better figure out a way to eat it!
