CD1, track 4, scene 3
Back on Gloria, they’re sighting land again: they’re almost back in England!
Lol, Rufus is really using that whip to keep the crew in line! Meanwhile, Jeoffrey is being lax about discipline onboard, forcing Nigel and Rufus keeps the heat up on people to do their jobs. XD
But, Jeoffrey knows how to make an impression and orders everyone to change into their best clothes for their landing in Plymouth, making sure to be an impressive sight for the towns people that will greet them.
We now go into a bit of 16th Century male clothings-discourse, though nothing close to the focus that was in the books (which I’m perfectly fine with ^^') then talking about what will happen once they make landfall. Of course, Kaito wonders where he’ll be staying. At Drake’s place? Jeoffrey thinks his work-in-progress house building site will do, but Kaito disagrees, though, at least there is promise of Joan’s food.
before 6:20-ish?
Also, there is talk about something about a fine for wearing certain clothes? And Jeoffrey paying to wear as flashy clothes as he likes? I might have misunderstood this completely though. ^^;
Well, we learn quite a bit about Jeoffrey’s life philosophy here, as he explains why he wants to wear flashy clothes and long hair. ^>^
Jeoffrey also pinpoints Kaito’s personality from his first impression, and narrows down on the mystery around him, his secrets - which puts Kaito on the defenses immediately.
I wonder how many people they got to help out with the scenes of them landing in town? I guess, they can have people redo roles to create a crowd effect? Dunno tbh.
We also, learn a bit about Drake’s drum and it’s meaning. It doesn’t sound very mysterious here, unlike the spooky feels from CD 1. Instead, it’s a communications tool used from talking across ships for example.
Well, all is not going to plan though. As soon as they put down their anchor, Thomas Ward makes his way over to Gloria and boards, wanting to formally invite Kaito to London. There is no getting away this time! Walsingham is clearly having ideas about Kaito. And there is no way for Jeoffrey to refuse right out, not when the invitation is from Queen Elizabeth herself!
The reason for Ward waiting for Gloria, is the captain that fled with his ship and had a loose tongue about the events, including about Kaito. >:C
Kaito is clearly terrified, but there is nothing but to prepare for departure, to meet the Queen of England, at Whitehall Palace. At least, he’s got both Jeoffrey and Nigel that are set to protect hime at all cost!
