Time is wasting; confront someone about the delay.

From Create Your Own Story

You approach a deck and “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.

The sailor responds only with gibberish you think is Arabic, 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 sweaty short man with an black curled mustache. He raises his head in acknowledgement of your presence, taking a quick account of your body first.

“Captain, may I ask why we 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. So that is who this mysterious celebrity passenger has been.

“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 stop...ah...to bathe I believe.”

“Bathe? Bathe! Why in God's name do you have to stop the boat for this?” The captain blushes as he responds with a meekly “I don't believe it frugal of me to question passengers when they are as...influential as Miss Remick.” You know the hidden meaning behind his words; she's rich and obnoxiously so.

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.

"Maybe you are not so inclined Captain but I have no such limitations..." You turn your back on him and head towards the mysterious cabin that has caused so much scruiteny amongst the passengers.

You stand before the door and consider how to approach such a person. You've found much in your experiance to suggest most of these rich society types are often frustrating and self-absorbed idiots and not worth dealing with, but this actress is hindering your job, and maybe worth teaching a lesson to...
