On board the Opportunity (for Soaked Meat)
-
On board the ship known fully as, 'The Opportunity for Soaked Meat' the violet haired elven beauty, Juniper Amalith, was seen bringing many pots on board. Below decks, she unpacked the many samples of 'Juniper's Orchid' her captain and crewmates had helped her collect from the swamps east of town. Named by Juniper, it was as species of orchid Juniper had discovered years ago in the swamps, and found no mention of anywhere else. They are no longer than her own finer with tiny, colorful blossoms, and water-loving., being found mostly along stream side or swampy pools.
The orchids Juniper pots on board are mostly pink or red with a handful or white and one blue, and once potted she leaves them around he crew's and captain's quarters to bring a tiny splash of color to the spartan ship interior.

Juniper had been feeling nauseous the past couple days, and thought nothing of it. The nausea did grow worse each day, until it began to feel all too familiar to her. To confirm her suspicions, she went to see the Selunite. clergy at the Lighthouse Temple. Suspicions confirmed, she returned tot he Opportunity, and in the Captain's Quarters, she left one of the twins' old baby booties on the Captain's pillows.

Recently, the scent of cooked food is felt around the ship. Errands seems to run back and forth between the market and the ship, delivering various ingredients. At times, a table appears on the dock where different dishes is offered to the less fortunate.
How come? Rumors speak of a new chef. Rumors speak of this new chef testing different recipees. Rumors say that this new chef only accepts perfect results. As such, the chef would rather give, what the chef thinks is failed dishes, to the homeless and the hungry than wasting the food by throwing it away.
Either way, whatever is true, the Opportunity is experiencing a culinary voyage.

The milkcow Siegfried has found itself a welcoming home aboard The Opportunity. Plenty of lichen to eat above deck, a water resistant blanket covered in tons of sawdust and hay to lay on in the
fully functional brigmakeshift pen below deck. A Kingfisher Green bandana has been tied around their sturdy neck to distinguish them from other dock beeves. The ship's Swabby, Valisha, painstakingly picks up, cleans up, and washes after the cow and even talks to them even when she isn't drunk. She even regularly walks Seigfried and has slowly become more confident in harvesting milk into jugs to be chilled until needed. Ropes are put up in areas Siegfried might find theirself in danger of falling into the fridge Icelace, and is welcome to roam about to lick lichen to their heart's content within the confines of Opportunity.

After a curious encounter with a strange gnomish bard out on the Great Dale amongst a seemingly endless stream of medusas and grimlocks, Juniper returned to the ship some time later. She brought on board a gift from the gnomish bard after impressing him with her version of a folk song she sings to keep ear worm melodies out of her head. Her gift, a silent songbird in a small cage, seemingly malnourished and lacking a few feathers. On board she set about cleaning up his iron cage, and feeding him bits of toast and dried fish.
It was here on the Opportunity she would keep her new birdie friend because, she didn't want her cat, Mojo the Cat back at her family camp in the old Romani Pass, to think her birdie friend was a kitty treat. The poor songbird was dubbed, Tweetie.
