Travel to Cairo by steamboat
From Create Your Own Story
“Why if I might ask my good sir, have we stopped?” Although you chose your words politely your tone delivers a clear message of annoyance. With the new improvements in steam engine technology you were making record time, which is a good think since you have no love for the sea. Now you are at port in Kyrenia, without the decency of being told why.
The sailor responds only with gibberish so you move past him to the captain of the ship. When he tries to stop you, you give him a firm slap on the wrist which is enough to make him back up. The captain is a funny looking man with an weird mustache. He raises his head in acknowledgement of your presents and you tell him.
“Why if I might ask my good sir, have we stopped?”
The funny looking captain stutters on his response so badly that the words become impossible to make out. Before you can scold him for his mistake he realizes it himself and tries again. This time he leans in and whispers it in your ear. You give him an baffled but serious look.
“The diamond of the French theater?” You remark.
“Yes she’s here; traveling on my ship can you believe it!” He makes no attempt to hide his excitement but changes to a more apologetic tone as he continues. “She requested that we dock so that she might take a bath.”
“A bath? A bath! I don’t care if she’s the Tsarina of Russia she’s perfectly capable of taking a bath onboard the ship just like everybody else.” The captain blushes as he responds with a meekly “She was… very persuasive.”
You respond with a low moan of disappointment. If the diamond of the french theater Louise Remick is as beautiful as they say she is then the captain would turn this damn boat around to England if she so well pleased.
“Can you at least tell me where she went to have this bath?”
“Yes madam ill take you there right away.”
At the finest establishment in Kyrenia resides Louse Remick. Being in haste you had no time to admire the Mediterranean architecture that is so predominant in Kyrenia. The captain has lead you to a room specifically designed for baths it seems. You stand outside by the door and give the captain a stern look so that he goes away. You could either knock politely or charge right in, as long as this silly situation is resolved. Although teaching Louse a lesson in manners would be satisfactory.
