[After getting his bearings and some basic understanding on what the bloody hell is going on, Cid will wander around the ship, a bit fascinated and interested in how it's constructed and works. It's different yet similar from the ships of his world, and if he's going to be here and be part of a crew—either of his own or someone else's—then better to learn what he can while he has the chance.
1. Communications room.Especially when he finds his way to the communications room.]
Bloody fascinating... How did they make all this?
[Anyone else want to speak tech geek to him? Here's your chance. But at some point he starts asking a bit too many questions and may have. Touched things he shouldn't have—so he's being pushed out the door.]
Sorry, mate, didn't mean to push that button— What if we just talk it over a few—
[SLAM.]
...Pints. [An awkward rub of his chin.] I'll try again later.
[He's anything if persistent.
2. Helping hand. Now left to roam around more, should he come across or hear someone in distress from being stuck somewhere, he'll be quick to run over. Well he can't just leave them now that he knows they're there, now can he?]
Hold on, I'm coming. Got yourself in a bit of a mess, eh?
[Now whether he can do this nicely or will have to put some heave ho and cause some, uh, damage, eeeh that will depending on the actual situation.]
⚡ at the tavern
[After getting all his original belongings including one of his own thin cigars, Cid will have ventured around town to explore and learn more about this place. It's still a lot for him to wrap around his head, let alone even believe, but he's going with it for now. And kicking back and enjoying the tavern is at least something he's very familiar with.
1. Enjoying a drink. He's found a table for himself, but as all taverns go, strangers are welcome to join in on the bench as he munches on some bread from the small meal he ordered. He'll give anyone a friendly greeting as he watches everyone else around until...]
...Here we go.
[2. Tavern brawl. Some fine gents appear kicking up a fuss about that treasure map and as expected, a rowdy fight starts. Cid will duck his head and pick up his mug to avoid one crashing right into the table.]
Well, now this is a fine welcome!
[And he would have let it all alone if some drunk didn't start wildly swinging their fist in his direction, forcing him to jerk back out of the way and slam his foot against their leg to send them over. Which of course has turned the attention on him. Whoops. Taking one last swig of his ale, he tosses the mug onto the fallen one's back because, well, all the tables were knocked over and he looked he could do.]
Right, let's get on with it then.
[...Well it wouldn't hurt to knock a few of these ruffians down, right? Right??? Maybe they could use a little "shock" therapy—]
⚡ sirens serenade
[Thinking his "knack" for lightning might help in dealing with these sirens, Cid will set off with others to help with the captured sailors. At the rocks and investigating the ship, he can't help but look grim about it.]
Poor sods. This is why you don't go chasing after mysterious voices.
[Totally not referencing someone. Totally.
In any case, he'll grab whoever addle minded victim he can find, either using the potion or the rope, whichever is easier. And if there are any sirens trying to lure someone with their sweet voice—]
Not today!
[—Cid will run in to either cut it down with his swords or fire off a quick bolt of lightning to strike it down.]
