Panel 1 [Ezra steps up to his mother, hugging her with one arm while laying a hand while Lizzie springs up in front of them both. His mother is smiling slightly, but also looking a bit upset.]

What can I do?
MA:
Table, please.
LIZZIE:
I'll help!!
Panel 2 [Ezra walking towards the table with a slight smile as Lizzie gets up to follow him, relinquishing her potatoes. Her mother calls her back to the hearth]
MA:
Ah ah. I need you over here. That potato's half peeled.
Panel 3 [Lizzie sulks back over to her potato peeling stool]
Panel 4 [Same shot only now she’s sat down and gloomily peeling potatoes again]

I don't think the soup needs potatoes, Ma.

Going to Weather is a 3 Act nautical ghost story set on a New England whaleship. Updates in batches monthly.
1843. New Bedford is the city lighting the world, with its wealth drawn bleeding from the ocean depths. Whale oil lamplight glazes domestic life and spermaceti candles burn long at the tables of the rich. Their warm glow belies the brutal work that set them there.
From the chaotic harbor bristling with ship masts, a cobbled-together crew boards the whaleship Valor bound for the Pacific. Among them is Lawrence Manner, a landsman hoping to shed his onshore life, and Ezra Carter, a second mate striving for a captaincy in a nation that has few other options for him.
The ship’s master—Barzillai Waite—has built a reputation of great success, returning time and time again with thousands of barrels of oil in the Valor’s hold. But the Captain’s lucky image is dogged by a tale that he was once the sole survivor of a wreck at sea. The Valor, now on her fourth voyage, somehow feels older than she should. And out on the isolated stretch of ocean, as the tryworks smoke and bubble, an unseen and unwelcome passenger begins to make itself felt.
