Morning, Merch 2 Gravday. //
For two days and three nights has the celebration lasted.
[OOC] ORN: oh yeah. those bastards that made orn sad..
The meteor defense system seems to be keeping the biggest of the rocks from falling, though there are occasional small meteors.
The Refuge army - with contributions from all the other freed lands - has been organizing and training to take down the aliens, commonly referred to as Yeti.
Cassandra_Lionheart walks around the celebration, flashing a smile here and there, butknows something is on her mind.
But there remains one major problem: the walls guarding the poles. Apparently, they were originally erected to contain the melting ice caps - after the world had already experienced major flooding. Now, they keep the Yeti safe, and are apparently maintained from within.
A small strike force will be needed to take down the walls. There is no question who that strike force will be composed of.
But, until the party is ready, there is temporary rest and relaxation. Pak, for example, seems to have been taken into close personal custody by Fyl, who took a couple of vacation days.
[OOC] WC GM: And what is everyone else doing?
Riia has spent the time watching the skies and mourning for Luna's Viera crew
ORN mostly been pondering their failure while reading through more library database, taking a few chunks of mountainsburg once in a while
[OOC] ORN: pouting and eating, in other words
[OOC] Riia: Though the Viera who remained on Luna were true members of "the servant race."
Riia rouses out of her funk enough to go visit Kupostein.
Cassandra_Lionheart finally finds the Regent and goes to sit next to her.
Kupostein looks up as Riia enters his lab. "Ahh, good timing! I vas just about to test ze prototype!"
ORN spends some time on the edge of the volcannon where at least things are glassy and tasty
Hector sighs. "That was some fight, eh, Sakha?"
Regent is having breakfast just now, and looks up at Cassandra. "Hello, friend. Care to join me?" She gestures to a spot at the table.
Riia eyes the prototype.
Cassandra_Lionheart nods and smiles "Sure thing, Regent. I am a bit hungry this morning."
Sakha is keeping up with her research
The prototype is an inverted-carrot-shaped piece of metal with fins on the bottom.
Ahiru tries to learn some new tricks.
Riia points at it, then half-cups one hand in the other, sliding the inner hand up and out rocket-style; she looks curiously at Kupostein.
[OOC] Hector: Carrot-missiles is some kind of running gag for this game.
[OOC] ORN: … o.o somehow I don't think that's what riia's imagery is looking like right now ^^;
[OOC] Ahiru: same
Cassandra_Lionheart grabs a big plate of food, and sit next to the Regent.
[OOC] Riia: You are both preverts
[OOC] ORN: says the bunnygirl with the jackoff handmotion
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: lol
[OOC] Saiai-neko: I'm back.
[OOC] Hector: I'm a pervert? I was just pointing out that we seem to run into carrot-missiles a lot.
[OOC] Riia: Hector: not you. Nova and Terra.
[OOC] Riia: But nothing new about that.
Kupostein shrugs. "Zis should easily be able to take you to…ze clouds!" He smiles brightly.
Riia grins emptily.
Felicia spends some of her time conversing with old friends, but mostly checking on everyone else, periodically.
Riia takes a closer look at the prototype.
[OOC] Riia: Rocket, yes? Clearly not that powerful, but it is just a prototype.
[OOC] Riia: Unless Kupostein is pulling a 'Techschool' and his rocket is a lot more powerful than he thinks.
Sakha looks up from her notes and hms. "Did you say something?"
While it is a prototype, a cursory glance seems to indicate that this is as powerful as it was designed for.
[OOC] ORN: no, no. he's pulling a techschool. it'll take us to the cloud regions. IF it doesn't blow up. Which is perfect for getting to chapter si… oh wait ;p
[OOC] Riia: Clouds?
Hector rubs his forehead. "Yeah. Just…tryin' to start a converstaion."
Cassandra_Lionheart digs into her plate and smiles "So how have you been?"
Sakha: "About…?"
[OOC] WC GM: ORN's got it.
Riia tilts her head at Kupostein….
Riia starts to gesture, then pulls out her sign.
Hector: "About, uh…" He looks up. "Well, y'know, anything. Anyway, I said that was a hell of a fight we just had, y'know, with Aerie."
Regent: "Busy. But we'll have that army ready when you blaze the way for us."
Riia signs: "How far should get before landing?"
Kupostein: "Landing…? Landing…hmm. Interestink question!"
Sakha: "We got through it allright though."
Cassandra_Lionheart nods, and continues to dig into her plate of food "We will do our best to get you through!"
[OOC] Riia: "Vunce the rocket goes up/who cares where zey come down!/That's not my department!"/Says Werhner von Braun
Hector: "S'pose so, but I have a feelin' it's not gonna be gettin' any easier."
[OOC] ORN: indeed ;p
Sakha: "We just get stronger though. I still think I could have taken those robots in the tunnels back then."
Hector laughs.
Hector: "I think we all thought that, at least for a while."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Regent. So much has happened since I started this journey with my friends here."
Kupostein: "I could design a safe landink system, I suppose."
Sakha blushes. "Well I still believe it."
Fyl wanders up to Felicia, with Pak in tow. "General Felicia, sir!"
[OOC] ORN: poor, anorexic, exhausted, dehydrated looking pak? ;p
Pak @.@
Hector: "Nowadays, there's not much to go back 'n smash into submission, just for revenge. It'd be nice, wouldn't ya say?"
Riia considers, frowns, and shakes her head.
[OOC] WC GM: Well, tired, possibly.
Riia signs: "No time. How far can get?"
Felicia waves, with a smile. "Hey Fyl. …ah, General?"
Fyl is, notably, carrying Pak.
[OOC] Hector: Felicia got FUCKING PROMOTED?
[OOC] Riia: General Solo, have you picked your team yet?
Pak myuu. ~_~
Fyl: "You hadn't heard? We've been weeding out the, ah, command chain that supported King in killing anyone who wandered too far."
Pak does indeed look tired. "Mnnn. Where we goin'."
Fyl: "Those who were left, wanted to make sure one of their own was represented on the mission. That would be you."
Fyl: "Congratulations on your promition, General. I'd salute, but…" She nods to Pak, who is taking up both her arms.
Felicia rubs her head. "Ah, no, I had'nt. Been sort of of busy with things…" She pats Pak on the head. "…and it seems you've been as well."
Cassandra_Lionheart looks down at the ring "Yeah..so much has changed." then gets noticibily red in the face
Regent nods, listening to Cassandra.
Fyl bluuushes. "Ah…sorry, I guess I was supposed to tell you earlier, but I, err, got distracted."
Pak mrrs and peeks an eye at Felicia.
Pak: "Hiiii."
Kupostein: "Zis should get you to ze clouds. Or it should be able to get you over ze wallz."
Hector sits down. "Anyway, y'wanna go do somethin'? We've got some free time, and we haven't had much of a chance to do anythin' besides fighting around."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Like..My feelings for Eric. I really love him. Not some crush I had on him when I was younger, but the real thing."
Sakha: "Well I could check to see if there's anything worth buying at the shops these days…
Riia nods
Riia signs: "With some parts I can get us safely down."
Felicia giggles a bit. "It's understandable."
[OOC] Riia: And at the required level of awesome.
Riia tilts her head and signs: "You mind if I do some scrounging in here?"
Kupostein: "No, no, help yourzelf~!"
Hector: "Ah, a shopping trip? That wouldn't be a bad idea."
Riia looks around the labs for parts to use in a set of parachutes…
Pak smiles happily at Felicia before yawwwning. "So we're goin' in a rocket? Where're we going with it?"
Regent: "Ah? I'd heard you two were getting closer. Maybe you can get together and restore your family name."
[OOC] ORN: trailerparks of gloreh
Regent: "Your mother snapping like that…it's been a bit of a black mark. I don't hold it against you, and I don't think most others do, but."
[OOC] Hector: The only thing that can save the Lionheart family is incest. Wow, that's…ew.
[OOC] ORN: ew, but hilarious.
Cassandra_Lionheart nods and blushes "Don't tell the others..but I think we might have all ready." *smiles*
Regent smiles. "I'll not tell. But that's not what I meant."
Riia finds bits and parts of all kinds. The best material for parachutes looks like it had been intended as clothing for some oversized humanoid…thing.
Cassandra_Lionheart looks at Regent and smiles "Please tell me what you think?"
Sakha stands from the table and puts away her notes. "Then lets go."
Regent: "I think…you will have to prove yourself through acts of honor and nobility. Eric as well."
Felicia: "Ahh, I havn't been keeping up with things amidst the festivities, but more than likely we'll be taking care of those walls. Or something." She waves dismissively. "It'll work itself out somehow."
[OOC] ORN: I think she's doing the nobility part right now
Hector nods and gets up.
Fyl cuddles Pak a little more. "You're going to the Yetis~. You're going to open the way for us to follow."
Cassandra_Lionheart nods "Your right. I am sure if we see this to the end, we will restore the name to its former glory."
Sakha: "Anyone else want to go shopping?
Pak: "Oh, okay."
Pak streeetches. "Mmm, shopping?"
Fyl sets Pak down. "I…really should get back to my post now. You go and get them, okay?"
Pak: "…Kay."
Pak nods. :x
Pak: "Oh, yeah!@"
Pak: "Hey, hey, I found out that I'm full of dead magic!"
Ahiru finishes her veggies and hops up. "A new Ribbon would be nice…"
Pak :x!
Fyl: "Eh?"
Felicia: "It's… complicated."
Pak: "Yeah, my magical powers are based off things that the yetis stole after blowing up planets."
Pak: "So!"
Fyl: "…"
Pak points at Fyl's midsection.
Pak: "You might end up having some kinda crazy alien babby!"
Fyl O_Os.
Cassandra Lionheart: "I got to stop eating like this…I have had to adjust my armor 2 times in the past couple of weeks."
Pak: "I figured it was best to warn you."
Pak nods and crosses arms.
Fyl: "A-alien? I just wanted to have yours!"
Pak: "Well, it's mine."
Fyl: "Er!" She blushes.
Pak: "But… I don't really know what'll happen… n.n;"
Pak: "Ah, did that actually work yet? Or do we have to do it more when I come back? @_@"
Regent: "Both times in the breastplate, right? I heard about that."
Cassandra_Lionheart nods "Yeah."
Fyl smiiiles. "We'll be doing it more."
Pak: "n.n; Ahh…"
Felicia blushes. "Er, you'll probably be fine."
Pak: "Alright! I… I don't actually know if you'll have some weird kid or not. It'll probably be okay…"
Pak blushes. He seems a bit embarrassed~
[OOC] Hector: Yup. More bumper than a body shop.
[OOC] Hector: oh, crap. I need a band-aid. brb.
Fyl: "Well…we'll see when we see. I've really got to get back to my post now. Later." She bows to Felicia, kisses Pak on the lips, and runs off.
Pak nodnod-eep~
Pak yaaaawns once she leaves, stretching again.
Ahiru gathers at Sakha. "Anyone gonna come with us?"
Pak: "I'll come look, anyway!"
Felicia: "Sure."
Pak drifts towards Ahiru and Sakha.
[OOC] Hector: Oh, shit. I can't find them.
[OOC] Ahiru: Use a kleenex or toilet paper to stop the bleeding then
[OOC] WC GM: Use a paper towel or kleenex, then.
[OOC] Hector: Oh, there they are.
[OOC] Hector: I put them in the bathroom.
Cassandra Lionheart: "I mean I know I am still growing up, and I just had my birthday."
Hector steathily hooks his hand around Sakha's waist.
The merchants are all open, of course - those that have not closed up shop to become part of the army themselves, at least. Even the Mignons have relocated to the capital.
Pak ooh! Mignons~
Pak: "We should go see if they met up with their third!"
Sakha: "… What do you think you're doing?" She glares.
Hector: "Oh, uh…I figured you wouldn't mind. Thought after all we've been through, you'd at least be okay with it."
ORN sits, legs hanging off the edge, assimilating more volcannon and reading on alternative modes of non-planetbound-transportation
Sakha blushes.
Pak looks around curiously.
Sakha: "We're here to do some shopping, so lets shop… Pak wants to see the Mignons so we go there first I guess."
ORN does not find much material, other than Luna itself. It seems Luna was a desparation move, for the Yeti to escape their dying world.
[OOC] Riia: Whoa, it's Amatsu
Hector: "Works for me."
[OOC] Amatsu: Took this long to set up my emergency power systems. Power got knocked out a few hours ago.
[OOC] Riia: Ah.
ORN muses…
Sakha glances around the Mignon's store.
Pak peeks in with Sakha.
Cassandra Lionheart: "But anyways, I don't know what to think of that Regent."
Hector quirks an eyebrow up, remembering the last time he was here.
[OOC] Sakha: Okay, Dancer's Tunic is on my shopping list, Sakha's gonna be made uber cute here
Hector: "…thought the pink and the cute was gonna kill me."
A familiar mithra is at the front. "Welcome to our store - oh, it's you."
Regent: "Don't think of it. You have other things to worry about right now."
Eric_Lionheart hmms, wandering around. One last chance at rest and relaxation for awhile it would seem.
Riia ponders faster ways to get out of Yeti airspace…
Sakha: "We've been out of town for a while and wanted to get some new equipment…"
Cassandra_Lionheart nods "We must save our world."
Mithra: "Then you've come to the right place."
Pak: "Ah… Hi! :2"
Ahiru looks in and finds a very cute metal vest and skirt that's all sparkly. She picks it up.
A voice comes from the back. "Say it like we practiced, Noir, nyo!"
Pak finds a cool hat |3
The mithra - Noir, apparently - sighs with a put-upon expression. "Welcome-to-our-store-nyo."
[OOC] Riia: Yay sound!
Felicia blinks.
Pak looks over at Noir.
Pak headtilts.
Sakha: "Something the matter?"
[OOC] Pak: So does this make Noir Puchiko? :x
Noir twitches. "The Mignons…they say the thing I lack…I need to be 'cute', nyo."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Anyways, Regent." *gets up and hugs her* "I must get my family sword fixed again. Lets talk again after all this."
Regent hugs back. "Indeed."
Pak: "…"
Pak giggles.
Pak: "That's kinda cute too, though…"
Cassandra_Lionheart smiles, and grabs her backpack with the sword in it and rushes to find the party.
Pak: "Is that why you're selling stuff like this?"
Pak holds up a Cat Hood.
Mignon Rose breezes in from the back. "She's a difficult student, nyo. But she's a hard worker, and I'm sure she'll someday be worthy to become our fourth sister, nyo!"
Pak: "…"
Pak counts on fingers.
Pak: "…Wait what?"
MignonRose: "You're still trying to find our third, right, nyo?"
Cassandra_Lionheart looks around for the party..
Cassandra soon finds them near the front of the Mignons' new shop.
Pak: "…Isn't… she the third?"
Pak points at Noir.
[OOC] Riia: ….whoa.
MignonRose: "Nope nyo. She's still learning nyo. There is another nyo."
Felicia: "…"
Cassandra_Lionheart waves to everybody "Oh the Mignons! I need you for something!"
Pak @_@;
Pak: "W-where's the fourth, then?"
[OOC] Riia: Either the Third is a Viera - vaguely possible if some survived on the moon - or she's a freaking YETI.
[OOC] ORN: well at least if its a yeti we kill it ^^;
[OOC] ORN: but gawds, ew ^^;
[OOC] Riia: Haha
[OOC] WC GM: Not quite either of those.
[OOC] Pak: Well, Blanc would fit the current theme.
[OOC] Pak: Purple, Pink, Black, and White.
[OOC] WC GM: A Yeti is white - but, she's not currently a Yeti. :3
[OOC] Pak: Mrr.
[OOC] WC GM: Or a Viera.
[OOC] Sakha: Ronso?
[OOC] Felicia: Moogle? >_>
[OOC] WC GM: You'll find out in due time.
[OOC] Felicia: YOU FIEND
[OOC] WC GM: TBH, you've already met her.
[OOC] ORN: ah, was worried it might be a cadet unit ^^:
[OOC] Riia: Wait. The last Mignon… is BUNNYGIRL?
[OOC] Riia: …just kidding.
[OOC] ORN: that would make the last mingon dead ;p
[OOC] Riia: Unless she's not.
[OOC] ORN: haha, you screwed up, lost a piece of bonus content?
[OOC] ORN: like not waiting for shadow. anyways let's keep going
[OOC] WC GM: Bunnygirl is Viera, no? I said not currently Viera.
Cassandra Lionheart: "A fourth one?" *drops her jaw* "So now how am I going to get the sword fixed?"
Sakha looks around the store.
Pak puts a cat-hood on.
Hector unhooks himself from Sakha and checks out the merchandise.
Pak has 4 cat ears. :x
MignonRose: "You need a sword fixed nyo? We can do that nyo!"
Pak: "…I'll just get this other thing."
Ahiru picks out a strong yet Delicate Ribbon too.
Pak buys a platina shield and a tiger mask. Also picks up a Gladius at a different store.
MignonRose: "It'll take some time, though, nyo. Leave it here - you're off to the Yeti, no, nyo? We'll have it ready before you return nyo!"
Cassandra Lionheart: "YOu can? Thank you!" *hands over the broken Lionheart Sword to them*
Ahiru thinks it's perfect for a Lady.
Felicia looks into getting a new sword…
[OOC] WC GM: As in Lady's Ribbon, the weapon, not Ribbon the Artifact, right?
[OOC] Ahiru: Yes
Hector picks up a pair of Alert Gloves. They look surprisingly normal, probably made by Noir before she was corrupted.
Sakha sees a cute yet functional outfit with a top and skirt and some nice thigh-high boots with it. ((Dancer's Tunic))
They apparently were, at least judging by how Noir positively beams at Hector's selection.
Pak looks over at Sakha. "o.o"
Pak: "Ah… what's that you're looking at?"
Sakha also finds a nice bangle that inspires her to be calm as well ((Serene Bangle))
Cassandra_Lionheart sees Eric and walks over to him "Hey sleepy head, you finally woke up." then kisses him.
Eric_Lionheart nods a bit. "Indeed."
[OOC] Hector: Hm. Gundarium or Jet Black Whip.
[OOC] ORN: will just place some orders later since I'm one level from everything ^^;;;;
[OOC] Hector: Jet Black is 3 Avail off, which is, what, 4-5 levels away.
[OOC] WC GM: That assumes you'll be in resupply range later.
Ahiru finds a sparkly-shiny hat to boot.
[OOC] WC GM: 3 Avail = 2-3 levels, actually.
[OOC] Riia: Yeah, alas the portable converter melteded.
[OOC] ORN: well not much choice; not in avail range right now ^^:
[OOC] Pak: but you can't actually buy items early to equip later.
Ahiru also finds some lightweight sparkly metal gloves too
Pak pokes Sakha. "What's that dress? :o"
[OOC] Hector: Hm. Do the Mignons actually stock weaponry?
Sakha: "Eh? It's a dancer's outfit, but it's cute and functional and I can sense a bit of enchantment in it too."
[OOC] WC GM: Not much. Their specialty is armor.
[OOC] Hector: I guess I'll go across the street, then.
Pak: "I see. :X"
Pak >/‘`/``/>
Pak runs off with hector to go weapon shopping. T_T;
Hector: "Heh, you have an idea, too?"
Pak: "I wanna knife!"
Hector pats Pak on the head. "I figured an armament upgrade was in order today."
Sakha: "We’re buying a lot today and we'll be sure to find your soulmate, so can we get a discount ladies?"
Sakha rolled up 1d100: 68 (68)
Felicia doesnt see much in the way of weaponry, and her armor was fine. She shrugs, and strolls off in Hector's direction.
Hector starts looking through the recently-open chain whips section of the Fortune's Market weapon store.
[OOC] Sakha: Pass by 32
ORN gonna eat half the required material for the one thing he can buy (seperate traderoll since I ain't with'em)
ORN rolled 1d100 and got 59 ( Total: 59 ) **
[OOC] ORN: just pass by 21
Hector stumbles upon a whip made of what looks like white silver, with an orange-and-white handguard and a blue-and-white handle.
[OOC] Hector: Gundarium whip. :E
MignonRose: "For you, ten percent off nyo! We still have our own costs, but you wearing our wares is marketing enough nyo!"
Hector: "I believe…I found one."
Sakha: "Thank you so much."
Hector purchases it posthaste!
[OOC] WC GM: 5% discount for ORN.
Sakha wanders across the street to check for a new wand.
Hector sells his Shell Ring as well.
Cassandra_Lionheart smiles and shakes the Mignon's hands
Hector turns around after finishing his business, and sees Sakha in her new outfit, and is very obviously impressed.
Sakha alights on a nice wand with magical enhancement on it and beams. She goes to the counter and tries to flirt up a deal.
Sakha rolled up 1d100: 38 (38)**
[OOC] Sakha: pass 62
Sakha manages to score a 10% discount here as well. It seems this merchant did not already personally know the party.
Once the shopping is done, the party is summoned to the castle.
Pak grins. Has a good knife.
ORN is more "carried" than "summoned", at least at first.
ORN glares at whatever's trying THAT?
Riia arrives with a slew of parachutes in tow
A set of dwarves tries to carry ORN - or herd him to the castle. They do not speak much.
ORN: "…"
ORN: "Explain yourselves"
[OOC] Pak: brb. Food suddenly spawned
DwarfLeader: "Ye are te stop munchin' on our mines an' come to th' castle. Regent wants yer services."
Cassandra_Lionheart walks with the group.
ORN: "… 'ye' could simply have asked. This Unit was kind enough to consume primarily volcannon despite the untimely destruction of the great meal…"
ORN stands and jumps off the edge to head over
The dwarves nod and grunt to themselves as ORN begins moving.
Once the party is assembled, Regent reads from a sheet of paper. "'Welcome great heroes bla bla bla…'" And promptly tosses the prepared speech aside.
Regent smiles warmly. "I'll spare you the rest. It would've gone on for half an hour before it got to the good stuff."
Hector puts his arm around Sakha, this time, her shoulder.
Regent: "You know what's going on. Someone has to take down the walls so we can take out the Yeti before they do something about Luna blowing up. You're the most qualified of anyone in the world."
Regent: "As I speak, Kupostein's rocket is being transported through the tunnels to a ship in the northern seas. You'll be joining it. From there, it will take you right up to the walls. The rocket *should* get you over. I understand Riia has been working on a way to get you down safely?"
Riia nods.
Riia pulls out a backpack made of steel; pushing a button on it causes a pair of helicopter blades to telescope out of it.
ORN: "…"
ORN stares at the thing
[OOC] Riia: And the blades will autorotate and keep the wearer from splattering.
[OOC] Hector: OH THANK GHOD.
[OOC] Hector: Armor Gain is back in DWG2.
Riia thumbs up at the group.
Regent: "Once you're there, we won't be able to help you much further, though we can try to send over a few supplies. We've worked out how the radio works, so we can at least share information…although, some of the moogle records indicate the Yeti may have a counter for that, so be careful."
Cassandra_Lionheart nods
ORN: "What is the current situation there?"
Regent: "Unknown."
Regent: "We…honestly don't have much information. We're just guessing, from some old records and legends, that the north pole may be the place to start."
ORN: "There were defenses in place against aerial invasion earlier. These may still remain. A slow descent is not recommended, Riia."
Riia nods
ORN: "This Unit suggests high velocity impact prior to your invention's initiation"
Riia points at the helicopter and pulls out her sign: "Will slow impact - but won't have much effect till near ground."
ORN shakes head and points at Eric
ORN: "This Unit shall take care of the impact part. However, shielding would be appreciated for the matter."
Eric Lionheart: "Not sure how much protection I can offer from a impact like that, however."
ORN: "Not from the impact. The defenses."
ORN: "This Unit will generate an additional overlay. However shielding is required to delay its detonation."
Pak: "It's possible the falling factory could have taken out most of the air-defenses."
Pak: "We can't count on that, though."
ORN nods at Pak
Regent: "We don't know what defenses the Yeti have, but it seems they had a talent for engineering creatures to do their work."
Pak: "Yup!"
ORN: "They may also have rebuilt or repaired some in the meantime."
Regent: "Looking through records from Planetfall, and form the others' records of that time - the dragons that harassed the mithra seem to be one example."
Regent: "Those dragons slipped from the Yetis' grasp and drifted out to sea, drowned - which is how Mer was able to take control of them."
Pak: "…huh!"
Regent: "There are probably more of them, and stronger, with the Yeti."
Felicia: "Hm."
Pak: "…So we get to kill Dragons? >:3"
Pak: "Interesting~"
Eric Lionheart: "Sounds difficult."
Regent: "So. Make your way to the ship when you're ready. It won't leave without you. And, good luck~."
Pak excitedly nods and heads to ship.
ORN nods and walks off
Cassandra Lionheart: "Hmm..I need to get some provisions guys."
Hector has, by now, taken his arm off of Sakha. He thinks it's probably not a good idea to be walking around town looking like that.
[OOC] Hector: I'm heading downstairs to get something to eat. brb and such.
Pak: "Ship ship ship~"
Pak: "Ship trip~"
The ship is on the far side of Mountainsburg - which, by now, seems to have officially incorporated the mithran village that tunneled into it.
Riia heads to the ship as well.
The ship is small, save for its cargo. Indeed, the crew is but one person.
Cassandra_Lionheart thinks as she runs back into town "I do need some things."
[OOC] Riia: RM?
RandomMerchant: "Ah, you're here. …wait, where's Cassandra?"
[OOC] Riia: Yup.
Cassandra_Lionheart yells "DOH! He is on the ship all ready. I'm going to look like a fool!"
Cassandra_Lionheart sprints back towards the ship.
ORN nods at RM
Pak: "…uh. :o"
ORN: "And this is the.. contraption?"
Pak: "Thought it was gonna be a full ship, but okay!"
Cassandra_Lionheart makes it back to the ship, and is a bit flustered.
Felicia looks the ship over.
The ship seems like a mithran cargo vessel - one of the smaller ships of the pirate fleet, perhaps one of the few survivors.
[OOC] Hector: I'm in the middle of eating so don't expect me to talk much.
Of course, the Refuge flag now flies from its mast.
Cassandra Lionheart: "Sorry Random.."
Pak hm!
Pak: "This kinda looks like…"
The rocket stands next to the main mast, as Random unfurls the sail.
Pak looks around the bedroom areas, curiously.
RandomMerchant: "No problem. Let's be on our way!"
Cassandra_Lionheart nods
ORN takes a much closer look at it. What with it being worthy of about as much trust as what made it
There are cots strung up for the party - apparently makeshift quarters.
It looks like the rocket will function for a few seconds - all it needs to. After that it will be out of explosives or any other ability to function, save on inertia.
[OOC] ORN: and the frame?
Pak flops into one. <3
Pak hm.
Pak hops out of bed. Looks around and then pokes Felicia.
The rocket frame is basic metal, sturdy enough to hold together for its brief flight.
ORN will try and reinforce just in case. at worst it'll hit harder where it lands
Pak: "I still don't know how to swim. c_c"
Felicia: "…"
Felicia: "Well you can, just… not normally."
Pak: "…Oh, yeah."
Pak: "I'm just randomly worried that we'll rocket over the wall and land in water or something like that. ~_~"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Get some Alcohol for Pak, just in case."
[OOC] ORN: at the north pole?
Pak: "Hm."
RandomMerchant: "He needs some liquid courage? Just a bit…"
Random rummages through his bag, then offers up a small vial of amber liquid.
Pak: "Not right this second! n.n;"
Eric_Lionheart hmms.
Pak takes it anyway. "thanks, though. I apparently can only swim while drunk. »"
RandomMerchant: "Alright. Be careful when you drink it - it's potent."
Cassandra Lionheart: "What DOES NOT Random have?"
ORN: "luna"
Pak: "Got it."
Random looks at Cassandra. "Infinite stamina. Why do you think I volunteered to take you to the wall?"
Eric Lionheart: "I'm sure we can find a big enough object for you to eat ORN, that isn't about to doom us all."
Cassandra_Lionheart looks to Random and laughs "Regent can't be THAT bad!"
ORN looks at Cassie before answering Eric
Felicia: "Eh. We'll find time for you to learn eventually. Until then, I'll just make sure you don't drown anywhere…"
ORN: "It seems rather unlikely he would have such an issue if regent were incompetant would it not?"
Random chuckles nervously. "I wouldn't call her bad…exactly…"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Just..not satified?"
[OOC] WC GM: Wrapup requested because one of the players is almost out of battery power…
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Less requested, more fact stating. >.>
Random blushes and chuckles a bit more.
Hector: "Yo, Cassandra, geez, cut it out."
Cassandra Lionheart: "WhaT?"
Hector: "He's got a man's pride, so leave 'im alone."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Okay. Goodness..Must still be good in the bed though."
ORN: "? A man's Pride?"
The trip takes about a day. Dawn sees the wall in sight - coasting up to it takes about an hour more, during which time Random rigs the rocket.
Hector: "Don't worry 'bout it, Orn. You're not even a man in the first place, though ya do appeal to the ladies."
Eric_Lionheart tries to figure out in his mind how a rock that regularlly wishes to commit genocide is appealing.
ORN: "It is difficult to resist This Unit's visual appeal"
[OOC] ORN: girls like shinies eric ;p
Pak: "@_@"
Pak: "Infinite stamina…"
Pak suddenly looks tired.
ORN nods
Felicia: "…You should probably sleep, if you haven't, Pak."
Pak: "O-oh, yeah @_@"
Pak: "Fyl just sorta dragged me over to you, I only got a short nap…"
Pak streeetch.
Pak: "Kay, I'll go nap~ Don't crash the boat!"
Pak heads back to beds. flop. zzz
Eric Lionheart: "Maybe a moment or two of rest is a good idea."
Hector already slept most of the trip.
Cassandra_Lionheart sits guard and smiles.
ORN: "This single-use contraption requires slight improvements to ensure survival of its own launch anyways."
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: brb
Riia watches ORN's modifications to ensure that he doensn't accidentally disable the device.
It is difficult to entirely disable the rocket. Rear end goes boom - at a mostly controlled rate.
ORN just solidifying the frame without affecting the mass
That function is hard to disable without deliberately preventing it.
[OOC] Riia: Yeah, but you could deflect the blast and send the whole thing spinning into the ocean.
[OOC] ORN: that's just spin-stablising, yeeeeaah ;p
[OOC] Hector: Spinzaku-ing leads to victory.
[OOC] ORN: guessing its logend? ^^:
With the last of the preparations complete, the rocket is ready for its brief trip. //
RandomMerchant: "All aboard~."
