Chapter Text
Taco sat at the edge of the boat, her legs dangling off through the spaces in between the railings. There wasn’t much to do other than talk to other people and wait for land to be spotted, and she wasn’t all that interested in talking to other people, so here she was. Every second felt like forever, but as soon as an hour had passed it felt like the blink of an eye. Strange.
She stood up to look for something to do, although hoping not to bump into anyone. Or interact with anyone for that matter. (Which was pretty much impossible on the crowded boat.)
Sliding her hand along the railing, she stepped down the stairs to head below deck, where the heat of sun wouldn’t feel quite so intense.
Suddenly the boat rocked violently, and she tensed before she lost her grip on the railings, tumbling down the short, yet painful, flight of stairs. She felt a sharp pain in her head (shell?), wincing in pain as she felt buzzing grow louder in her head; inky darkness taking over her vision as she fell unconscious.
