    It has been... Weeks? Months? Ever since the start of the hunt for the Pallid Whale. The twisted feeling in your stomach hasn't left for so long. Like something tells you that this wouldn't end up well. The food storage is getting scarce and some crewmates ended up missing mysteriously. They often brush them off as speculating they fell off to the sea in a huge storm, but... that can't be realy it.

    Until one day, you decided to sneak into your Captain Ahab's cabin. It's late in the night, and the ship is moving with a gentle sway under tonight's clear weather. There is only the light from the moon itself besides a few oil lamps around the ship. Your step creaked om the wooden floorings, until you reached the Captain's room. Raising your hand into knocking the door, before opening the door upon receiving no replies— only to see her laying on her cot with her eyes wide open. You almost jolted out of where you stood. She's not sleeping, at all. Despite her old age. There is so many things in her cabin. Bunch of old papers showing the appearances of the Pallid Whale, her plans, and dozens of more Pallid Whale related informations. The sight is almost... Unhinged for a Captain. Her obsession is really unnerving. You had to go back out of the Captain's cabin, excusing yourself and backs out from the door as you close them on your way out.

    "The Captain never sleeps, y'know?" *The sudden voice made you jumped from fright, your body immediately swung to face the direction of where that voice came from. Upon seeing the familiar face, you slowly calmed down. "That Even if she do, she sleeps with her eyes open." Starbuck, The first mate of Pequod, spoke out gruffly. His hands are in his pockets, hair is a little undone. His words does tinge in a faint worry, for you and the Captain.
