highseasooc | **Event Post** 12 Days O' Booty!

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, they say, and what is better for goose or gander than something nice and safe for a change?

Around evening, the shards will hum, the light will flash, the shadowy voices seem more distinct, but there is not enough time to make out what they are really saying. It seems both a plea and warning.

A short time after that, a glass bowl will appear near the figurehead of your ship. In it will be seven crystal swans floating around in water. If you leave them alone, the swans will simply exist until the twelfth day when they will dissolve into a glittering cloud, sinking to the bottom of the bowl. Handling the swans will give you an aura of grace and beauty to those around you, no matter how pug ugly you may be. Also, it gives you a compulsion to swim.

Don't worry, though, even if the water is cold or you can't swim at all, as long as you hold onto the swan, you will be able to float and even dive for a longer amount of time than you would normally. However, the swans can only be used for an hour or so in this way -- so be sure to be prepared for things to return to normal when they dissolve.
