Looks like I get to be the first one to point out an inconsistancy between the different perspectives we've heard so far.
I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but Linae (Kougra) is the only person so far who's memory of the storm places Anshu (Ruki) below deck. Every other chapter shows Anshu on deck hoisting ropes.
Having said that, I suspect any sign of conspiracy involving Linae and Anshu is just a red herring. I think it's more likely that the entire crew is keeping a secret. If that is the case, perhaps the Captain might disclose more background as his trust levels rise.
I noticed that too. It could just be that the others were busy with their own things and didn't notice that he wasn't there, so their memories just put him as being in a helping out position. Linae and Anshu seem to be friends, though (her story mentions him a lot), so maybe she would have taken more notice of him than the others.
I still don't trust Banju as far as I can throw him. He looks decidedly shifty in Linae and Kentari's versions, and if two of the three crew members we've spoken to remember him that way, there must be something to it...
And yeah, Hoban looks totally demented in Linae's version, but I think it's because Linae doesn't like him. Her perception of his personality would color her memory of him and exaggerate how he was acting.
I wish they'd give us some explanation as to why they're in the desert to begin with. And why they flew to Faerieland for that matter. What's going through the captain's head, you know? You're looking for someone who fell off a boat into the ocean...so you search a floating cloud-city and the desert?
I'm going to stop babbling now. XD Forgive me if I've repeated anything (I read through all the posts since the ship reappeared, but I may have missed something), I'm just thinking out loud. ._.
