After nearly two weeks of continual travel, the Riposte finally heaves to a stop only a few hundred feet from the featureless black wall of the crystal shell. Melville happens to be on the helm, so Chick is provided a Create Portal scroll by Captain Threadvine. Before she casts it however, the Captain tells Ashheart to "extinguish the ship". Ashheart blows one low and one high note, a signal everyone aboard knows to mean to immediately extinguish all flames and flame sources. Slick is already in the galley, presumably shutting things down there. Bill and Royce can be seen on the stern, quickly lighting and smoking a final cigarette. Other members of the crew begin to canvas their immediate area for any lanterns or other fire sources. Threadvine and Ashheart also assist in the effort and Threadvine makes sure to mention to everyone to be on the lookout once the portal is opened. That is when we are most likely to run into other ships as anyone running a Locate Portal will be immediately drawn to the area.
[[OOC: Are any of you doing anything of note in preparing to pass into the Flow? Melville is currently on the helm, but the ship is at a stand still at the moment, so he can get up and move around if needed.]]
