Emerald tries to impress Ruby by telling her how the cannon works. He mentions that it’s swabbed at first to make sure no errant sparks or dirt are in the way, and then it’s packed with gunpowder, the cannonball, and then a little more powder just to make sure it’s kept in place. It’s then magicked forward by a unicorn or kicked into place. After that it’s aimed and the flintlock mechanism is pulled, causing the powder to ignite and shoot the cannonball.
Ruby seems enraptured by this story, and repeats, “…Think we’ll see them fire the cannons?”
Emerald and Ruby then make their way over to the other door and open it. Here it is much more busy, with plenty of sailors moving up and down the stairs. Other than the stairs, there is another door. The pair enter it and see many beds as well as a small stool and desk, as well as a second door off to the side. Though the beds are little more than plain white sheets and straw pillows, each one has the effects and items of it’s owner, whether that be a picture, a bag, a smoking pipe, or perhaps a weapon or corked bottle of booze.
Emerald and Ruby check the other door, and it appears to open to a storage room for luggage and personal effects.
Emerald and Ruby leave this room and head down the stairs, being careful not to get in any sailors way as they work. Immediately upon coming down the stairs Emerald can see into a large storage hold that is being loaded with boxes. The other exits here lead to another bedroom as well as a barred room containing a dusty blanket. Perhaps a brig?
On the opposite side of the storage Emerald can see what appears to be a stove. What an odd placement for a kitchen, but I guess that means the chef is close to his food supplies.
