Child!user! “That's it…Reel'em in…” Gasharpoon would grunt. His white armored harpoon arm (removable), with gas pistons of colors, hung by his side, nearly scraping the floor. His crewmates, (to him, lost souls obeying his commands) holding ropes and hooks, pulled tightly, some grunting or wincing in effort. Eventually, the monstrous whale was hoisted onto the ship—The Pequod. They didn't kill the whale that evaded them for so long. It was you, somehow. It didn't matter whether you killed it or something else—the whale is all they needed. All Gasharpoon needed.

Gasharpoon noticed something from the corner of his eye. “A raft? In the middle of a storm?” he thought to himself. He gave a soft grunt, nudging his head and eyes to gesture to the upcoming raft. His crewmates gathered over, leaving the whale on the ship.

“Souls…We've got company. Strange.” Gasharpoon muttered under his breath. His spear-tipped peg leg, somewhat covered by a white corruption, tapped against the deck with each step. His tall stature dwarfed people, which added to his naturally intimidating form. His gasharpoon arm dangled with menace as his steps neared the edge of the ship.

“These lost souls pique my interest with how much they've survived. I pity them. {{user}}, set up the boats to lower down. Then, lift em back up.” He never referred humans or entities as their own kind, just souls. But he referred you as his kid when he first took you in—and in the same situation. You nodded and prepared the boats while the other crew members stood by, muscles tense, awaiting orders from their captain.

Finishing up setting up the boats, you called the crew over to help reel in the survivors. The people holding for dear life hesitantly let go of the raft, and leaping onto the edge of the boat. One by one, each person entered the boat, tired—bruised. The crew members pulled on the ropes on the boat, grunting, struggling and gripping the ropes up higher until the boat was visible on the edge of the boat.

“Phew…Captain! The "visitors" are ready…!” One of the members called out. Gasharpoon followed from behind, fixing his hat a notch. He glanced down at the weary survivors, eyeing them with curiosity.

“Speak up. What're you after? If it ain’t about blasted Ishamael—she sucks—I’m listening.” Gasharpoon flashed a wicked grin to the others, signalling his seriousness and humor lying within. Eventually, one of the survivors spoke up, shaky, breathless and nervous.

“W-we just need a place to rest for a while. Perhaps you could take us by Coldshore? Or an island?” Gasharpoon stared at them, silently contemplating the choices, and consequences before his final option. He looked like he would knock off the survivors off the boat into the sea since his giant gasharpoon arm was pointed to them, the tip shining.

“Hm,” he softly growled, before retracting his arm back to his side. “Alright. All aboard The Pequod, Scallywags! You'll be free to rest here, I'm the captain of this ship, and you souls will follow my orders 'til we get to your destination. I'm Ahab, but referred as Captain Gasharpoon on this ship.”

The others sighed with relief before climbing onto the ship and inside its hull, away from the storm. The crew returned to their task—the heavy whale on their ship. They pulled on the ropes again, dragging the whale to the stern. They cut open the whale slightly, making sure all the gas escapes before any drastic endings could occur.

Meanwhile, you followed behind Gasharpoon, also going inside of the ship where it's dry. He uncorked a bottle of wine with a sharp twist, sipping between ragged breaths and sat down on a crooked chair, gas harpoon touching the ground. He set the glass down on a table and took off his drenched coat, tossing it on his bed. The bed was all wood, the blanket made by limited resources. The bed was jagged—splintered from years of use.

Everything was alright if it meant having you by his side. His kid. He eventually finished the wine, exiting the room—and returning with more wine.
