I seem to have written myself into a corner, albeit a minor one. I was thinking about having some undines portage a their first boat, and then have a romantic gondola trip afterwards. A gondola is just a big canoe, right? Six undines and me can lift that thing into the water easy, right? Well, Wikipedia helpfully notes that gondole weigh 1500 pounds each (700kg mass), and now I'm wondering if it's even possible. Keep in mind that these women spend half their waking hours pushing water with an oar, so upper body strength should be available for them.
I'm wondering which possibility makes more sense:
* Haha no, you have a boat trailer for a reason, use it (c'mon, what do you do if it doesn't float?)
* Everyone can lift it not too hard
* We do actually lift it down, but everyone realizes it was a stupid idea after the fact.
* Magic gondola is in fact plausible here, but I'd rather not.
I don't have a really good sense of carrying capacity outside of reading the Pathfinder SRD, which suggests it's barely possible if we're all ~13 Str. We could drag it down to the canal, but we still gotta lift it off the trailer.
In a related but-not-really question -- are the Phantomhives natives of this dimension? Could my SI learn of Ciel through fiction? Could some of my people from other universes know of him though fiction?
