Inside, the ghost captain's quarters were modest. An 'oil portrait' of a ship at sea hung on one wall, and a large window overlooked the endless ocean. The ghost captain himself sat by the window, his translucent form glowing faintly as he gazed out at the waves with an air of melancholy.
Hearing Leonard enter, the captain turned slowly, his expression neutral.
"I'm here to sign up," Leonard said simply.
The captain nodded and opened a drawer, pulling out a rolled piece of 'parchment' and a 'feathered pen'. He placed them on the table.
"This is Master Merlin's test paper. Answer the questions, and I'll take them to him for evaluation."
Leonard sat down, unrolling the parchment. Under the warm light of the kerosene lamp, he scanned the questions.
