The Ferry - Gambino The Gambino ferry service consists of several boats or ships carrying passengers, and sometimes their vehicles, on scheduled services. Ferries have also been used to transport raw materials and goods. Ferries form a part of the public transport systems of Gambino and Barton, allowing direct transit between points at a cost much lower than bridges or tunnels.

"Gotcha, I'm going to hop on the ferry and see if I can see anything on my ride. I'll end up at Barton town, so when I get there we can meet up or I can head off to somewhere else." Said Jacknife into his radio.
He shook the hand of the ferry captain and paid his fee before climbing aboard.
He climbed up to the upper cabin so he could get a good view of everything and took out his binocluars.

"I got nothing here either." He said as the ferry pulled up to the docks in barton.
"I'm going to head over and find you guys. What say we meet at the fountain?"

Alexiel led the horse onto the ferry and just in time as the ferryman made a call for any last boarders.

Charles waited in line with two other cars as they were shuffled onto the ferry. Once in place, he stepped out of the car, the doors instantly locking behind him. With that he made his way to the top of the ferry to get a view of the scenery.

Alexiel could have gone up for a better view, but that would have required her to leave her horse and she wasn't about to do that. She had seen that movie The Ring and what had happened to the horse on the ferry...

"Tally ho!"
It came from the side of the ferry. If one was too look over they would see a walrus the size of a tank weaing a top hat.
"Oh humpty, isn't this a splendid way to travel." The walrus said.
The antropomorphic Egg wearing a crown riding said walrus didn't respond.

An egg riding a walrus. Bloody hell. Where had those two come from? Alexiel couldn't help but smile. Was this part of the Chaos? If so, she found it somewhat amusing. "Greetings your majesty!" Alexiel called to the crowned egg.

The egg, having only two cute eyes, could not articulate a sound. Instead, he waved. At least it was polite.
"Cheerio friend!" The gargauntuan walrus bellowed, "A beautiful day for a boat ride no doubt? I'm certian my compatriot Mr. Dumpty is enjoying his walrus ride."
There was a laugh that sounded slightly like bells.
"I myself am Mr. Blubberworth, scholar and traveler." He would have bowed if he wasn't swimming, "What brings you out on the water this day?"

The ocean wind felt nice, reminding Charles of his first trip on a ferry. That was when everything began, when Charles became the Chauffeur, when the Ponpiki Gosho became part of his life.
He took a deep breath, letting the salty air fill his lungs.
"Sir," said a man in uniform. He was one of the ferry's employees."It seems a passenger didn't have their sea legs and has vomited on your car. Rest assured that Hansen, our best cabin boy, is working diligently to clean most of it off. We apologize for any inconvenience."
Charles let out the air he had sucked in. "This is going to be one long ******** boat ride."

"I'm heading to the beach, in search of a friend of mine, a young girl by the name of Sejai." What a pleasant walrus and while Humpty could apparently not speak, he seemed just as pleasant.

"Oh the beach!" The Walrus beamed, "We should go to the beach Humpty. It would be an ever pleasant distraction. Oh no! Where is my mind, we have to make our apointment first. Blast, maybe after Humpty."
The egg said nothing, and barely moved... Yet some how you could tell it agreed.
"Anyway." He went back to talking to the woman on the boat, "The beach is a marvelous place to meet a friend. I'm sure you think so."

"Indeed. It's been a long time since I've been to the beach. But if may ask, where are you two fine gentlemen off to?" Alexiel felt like she was in Wonderland... talking to a Walrus and Humpty Dumpty...

"We have to have tea with the most dreadful spirit you would ever meet," The walrus made some sort of sound walruses make when they're displeased, "The second half of his scehduel is completly off. We have to set him straight before he ups and quits the job."
Humpty, looking slighty impatient, poked the walrus.
"Ah hah, good point Mr. Dumpty," How did the walrus know what the egg meant anyway, "We should take the next turn off, it's quikcer for us. I hope you enjoy your beach trip."
"Hold on Humpty!" The tank full of blubber said to it's compainon, "Here we go! Coo coo ka chu!"
And with that strange cry, the Walrus made a dive under the water.
Gambino was on the horision, it wouldn't be long before the ferry arived anyway.

"Oh dear..." That dreadful spirit sounded... well... dreadful. As the two went off to their meeting, Alexiel waved goodbye, turning her attention back to the direction the ferry was going in.
