(Moon 12, Morning, Aftdeck) Yup, Totally Doomed [Open]

[Yoritomo Choukichi]

Don't even need the fog to see how cursed this voyage is. Captain who doesn't want cats on board. Enough priests to do every job they're needed for, and plenty of spares for healing and funerals. Crewmembers who don't know how to swim. Ferrets instead of cats. Captain who doesn't want cats on board. Crazy bitch gunso who likes to tempt fate. Sailing right into the sea of shadows. Lack of proper respect for the good fortune brought to a ship by good cats.

Determined not to be devoured by the evil spirits that surely reside in the Sea of Shadows, or be attacked by any of the other inumerable horrors that reside there, Choukichi is making every effort he can to appease the heavens and rid the ship of its tremendous ill fortune. He is dressed only in simple cotton pants, revealing arms, chest and back covered by an array of wards against malicious spirits and bad fortune, and prayers to and images of Suitengu and Osano-Wo tatooed all over his body. He kneels on the deck in prayer surrounded by a small ring of wooden ofuda tied together by thick twine bearing similar symbols to those tatooed on his body.
