Send a Raven

Four ways to reach us. Ravens preferred. Gulls accepted if it’s urgent.

The Harbor ☠ Send a Raven

Four approved methods, in descending order of romance.

By Raven The fleet’s own. Fastest and most dignified. Do not write in red ink; ravens consider it rude and have opinions.
By Gull Our carrier gull, Envelope. Do not feed him forms. He loses them in the current. The current is not his fault.
By Bottle Any message in a corked bottle thrown at the fleet within 200 yards counts as sent. The 200 yards is a suggestion.
By Lantern Three short flashes at dusk means "hello." Five means "the coffee is gone" and is urgent.

The Fixed Route

Find Us on the Chart

The fleet’s route, as drawn by Dr. Quill. The islands are real. The route is, in places, a promise.

By raven: one tide. Messages are read aloud at the evening meal, which is the college’s only real broadcast network.

By gull: whenever Envelope feels it. Envelope has carried 1,204 messages and lost 3. The 3 were all from people named Gary.

By bottle: one tide, plus the walk back to shore for you. We keep the bottles. They become art. You’re welcome.

By the form above: the fastest. The Quartermaster reads it on a brass tablet, which is also the only screen on the island.

— Night Watch, keeping the light

The fleet is patient. Your doubloons will not be. Enlist while the wind is good.
