MORNING FIVE
It was the cabin boy who awoke everyone the next morning, with a grim look on his face. It was clear to the others that the tragedy had not halted with the death of the cannibal, and when everyone had assembled on deck, it was clear who wasn't there immediately.
First Mate Chandrasekhar was the only one missing, and the mess in his room left behind a sure sign of a struggle. His Cutlass was left ownerless on the floor, and his corpse had clearly been dragged overboard judging by the blood trails.
Spoiler :
Everyone was paranoid after this, but it was the Diplomat who spoke up. "So which one of you can sail this thing?"
A new captain would need to be voted on. Meanwhile, the navigator's room bore a Compass that would need a new owner as well.
It is now MORNING FIVE

I would like the compass, to steer us all towards port, instead of just a few people escaping in the row boat
The Cutlass can go the the bodyguard BananaLee, he could do with another weapon.

Well I think the answer to my own question is obvious-- the sailor can sail this ship. I am sure that none other than myself would be his choice as assistant navigator. I could care less about the cutlass. As for accusations....well, the bodyguard brought up a good point, even if it did interrupt my sleep. Diamondeye
Sidenote: Should captain votes be a different color since this way they'll be identical to support votes?

Eric the helmsman adjusted the wheel some and heaved a sigh.
He'd been keeping to himself, and the worry that he wouldn't make it back to shore had been clawing at him, and he spent much time at the wheel making sure they weren't straying from the course. Now...he was starting to relax, and he went and got some food and then went up on deck to watch the waves, his haggard eyes reflective. He pared a piece of fruit with a long knife, watching the waves and the clouds.

"I have nuthin' against Methos as Cap'n, but I'd like ter know what BananaLee the Bodyguard thinks aboot me to disturb th' diplomat in 'is sleep and have 'im accuse me?"
The wench sends BananaLee a furious gaze, mumbling under her breath, "You ain't gonna get no nightly visits from me, that's fer sure," before turning her attention to the items at hand:
"I think th' Helmsman can take th' compass, fine. But this poor girl needs somethin' to defend 'erself with, seein' as how at least two of th' men on board are threatenin' me. Ah Want th' Cap'n's cutlass."

The sailor hangs over the reeling staring at the horizon. His thoughts were with the captain and first mate, he knew both of them would have done everything in their power to get this ship and crew safely to shore. He had tremendous respect for them. It was clear that some on this ship don't want this ship to reach it's destination, others wouldn't hesitate to take the first possibility to abandon ship. As captain it would be a hard and dangerous job. But the sailor shared the confidence and courage of those before him. He turned to the crew and passengers.
"Chandrasekhar will be greatly missed. He wanted nothing more than to capture the traitors on board and get this ship safely home. I share this conviction with him. When you elect me as your captain I will do everything in my power to get this ship and her passengers to shore safe. I feel that out of the remaining crew, I am the most experienced and most suited for this job. I will take leadership over the ship and its crew, the Diplomat will assist me and take care of the passengers we have."
(OOC: I also got a compass today in the mail, from Montreal
A sign perhaps?

Aye.
Nictel is qualified to steer us home and the diplomat deserves the compass.

OOC: Obviously a statement that convinced CC to vote for me. Care to elaborate, in public or private as you see fit?
The merchant's wife speaks up. "I'm happy enough for the sailor Nictel to become the new captain, but I would like the helmsman to have the compass to better aid his job. Likewise, I want my husband's bodyguard to have the cutlass.
"Why is Diamondeye accusing poor BananaLee? Is she trying to hide something?"

"'Scuse me now? BananaLee started 'tis. And I ain't hidin' nuthin' from nobody. In fact, I 'lready told him 'bout myself. He's the one who needs ter explain. He's the one who's tryin' ter hide somethin'."

I'm fine with Diplomat CCRunner getting the compass, and Sailor Nictel to become captain.
((We could just lynch your character))
That was all I said, why don't you ask him yourself. Have I voted against you yet? Psh
