Little update, but better than it's been the past few months at least!

TRANSCRIPT:
Panel 1 [Barzillai and Adelaide walk past the seawall, churches, trees, and mountains in the distance.]
ADELAIDE:
And I’m glad to be here, especially now that we’re in this beautiful place. I don’t think I’ve ever been anywhere so lovely.
Panel 2 [The pair of them wander down to the beach. Adelaide looks over her shoulder at Barzillai.]
ADELAIDE:
Pity it’s only for a short time.
Panel 3 [Shot of Barzillai, looking a bit fatigued]
BARZILLAI:
There’s a reason I didn’t let the others disembark. Faial is a siren. Many would find it a good place to make a home rather than face down more years at sea.
Panel 4 [Adelaide pauses, laughing and kneeling down in the sand, pulling Barzillai’s arm to join her.]
ADELAIDE:
Come, watch the sunset with me. The sea looks lovelier when you view it from land.
Panel 5 [Barzillai caves with a smile, sitting heavily next to her and laying the bag of letters beside him].

Going to Weather

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.
Content Warnings:
• Animal cruelty / animal death (whaling)
• Blood and gore (human & animal)
• Violence (shipboard, creature, and supernatural)
