Abraham Rinks (Mar 1, 2011 11:57:57 PM)
(( ahh ok))
Abraham Rinks (Mar 1, 2011 11:59:26 PM)
* he watched as a few more people came and went as he set the large maul against the wall. he had the look of curiosity and wonderment on his face.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 1, 2011 11:59:43 PM)
(for bastian: The ship is tied into a berth at the docks, loosely though, some distance between her and the surface of those docks.. Azu and Octavian are visible on the deck, and the gangplank is up, meaning that aside from the ropes strung between ship and dock, there's no way aboard*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:00:48 AM)
(For Abraham and Bastian: A chimerical water dragon about the size of a tiger is resting on the docks but 'in front' of the Everbright.)
Abraham Rinks (Mar 2, 2011 12:02:11 AM)
** Abe walks over to the Dragon and looks at it like a bug in a box*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:02:41 AM)
Abe got a blinking face back, the tail of the creature flickering in aggitation.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 12:04:00 AM)
*Bastian was walking towards the dock, swordbelt and mask held slung back over his shoulder. His eyes were on the ship. His pace slowed as he drew closer.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:04:29 AM)
"Vistitor!" The dragon suddenly yelled, having a deep voice with a British accent.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:04:41 AM)
It sounded irritate.
Abraham Rinks (Mar 2, 2011 12:04:42 AM)
* he looks around and looks back at the Dragon then turns and walks away* this shit just gets weirder and weirder.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:04:45 AM)
irritated*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:06:04 AM)
Azu glanced up then at her dragon and the troll, squinting to try to see details better.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 12:06:16 AM)
*Octavian looks up, striding over to the rail to look down at the docks, tipping his hat back* Hello?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:06:42 AM)
And with Octavian's attention elsewhere Azu seats herself again, digging for pain medication.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:08:17 AM)
The water dragon was watching Bastian now, end of his tail flickering from time to time.
Abraham Rinks (Mar 2, 2011 12:08:31 AM)
* he looks to the boat and smiles and waves a bit* umm hi..
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 12:12:09 AM)
Can I help either of you? *As he spots the other fae coming closer, and called in a voice that clears the distance easily. One practiced over who knows how many hours calling orders to a crew*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:13:03 AM)
The eshuess takes some medicine before continuing to squint from her seat on her hammock.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 12:13:07 AM)
*Bastian almost didn't notice the dragon, eyes intent on the ship, but at the last moment he blinked, then bowed in greeting to the water dragon* Evenin'. *Then called up to Octavian* Hallo the ship! Quite a beauty you have there!
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:13:45 AM)
The dragon nodded politely to Bastian, glancing between the pair of people he didn't know well.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 12:15:12 AM)
Indeed she is, and I tell her so regularly. Might I have the name of the one I speak to?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 12:17:37 AM)
If mine eyes do not decieve me, I should best announce myself as Ludivikos. Do I address the captain of this fine vessel?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:18:14 AM)
Nameless snorted and laid his head back down. Azu was just watching.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 12:19:22 AM)
Indeed you do. Octavian Van Deraa, Captain of the good ship Everbright. Do you have buisness aboard?
Abraham Rinks (Mar 2, 2011 12:20:26 AM)
Umm Yes.. umm Calvin told me to come visit and check this place out.. get to know ....people.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 12:21:02 AM)
*He laughed good naturedly, about to answer... but he stops himself, to not interrupt Abraham.*
Abraham Rinks (Mar 2, 2011 12:22:51 AM)
*he blinks looking at him* Im sorta knew to all * he motions to everything around him.* this.. if ya get what i mean sir..
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:23:40 AM)
Azu seemed content to listen, hands folded in her lap, book forgotten for the time being.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 12:25:16 AM)
*He looks first over one shoulder, to check on Azu, then the other, calling out* Everbright! The plank please. *and, with the rattle of chain and the hum of ropes through pullies, the gangplank to the ship thumps to the dock to allow boarding of the ship* Welcome aboard, both of you then. I trust you'll both be on your best behavior, as I'm not in the mood to muck about throwing people into the water.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:26:59 AM)
"Ye will 'ave ta forgive de Captain, dere been some troubles about lately." She said politely to the men, offering a polite nod to them. "He means well. Ah be called Azu."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:27:49 AM)
The eshuess is wearing a long dress, sweater with long sleeves, and a scarf tied around her neck. Though there are still signs of -heavy- bruising along her jawline and on her arms if the sleeves slid up a little.
Abraham Rinks (Mar 2, 2011 12:30:36 AM)
* he smiles and nods* understood sir. Permission to come aboard?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 12:30:43 AM)
*Bastian bowed deeply, sweeping an arm to indicate Abraham may go before.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 12:31:47 AM)
Granted, granted. Come on now. Either of you thirsty? *Said as he moves to help Azu, as he plans on taking the gathering into the conference room*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:32:40 AM)
Azu blinked, surprised. Wincing some but accepting the help up. "Thank you Captain Van Deraa."
Abraham Rinks (Mar 2, 2011 12:34:46 AM)
(( gah!! i gotta go!! nuuuuu))
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:34:56 AM)

Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 12:50:34 AM)
*A point to the Captain, he thought to himself, watching the gent carry the lady. He followed.* New to town. Was just travelling the circuit, and was hoping to take in Mardi Gras. I couldn't help but notice the lovely vessel... It's been a while since I've been on board the like.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:51:31 AM)
Azu frowned after settling in a seat, but kept quiet, glancing toward the door.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 12:52:25 AM)
Everbright does stand out a bit, thanks in no small part to Azu's hard work of course. *said as he helps Azu into her seat, then motions Ludi to one of the empty ones * Red or white wine? And would you like a cigar?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:52:55 AM)
The poor injured eshu looked so confused.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 12:54:54 AM)
Never got the taste for smoke m'self, but if you're offering wine, I'll take whatever you plan to open for yourselves.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 12:58:16 AM)
*He pours out a glass of red for Ludi, sliding it to him..it's a decent, if inexpensive vintage. Table wine for someone who grew up drinking it. Azu gets a mug of tea from a kettle warming on a burner, and he himself gets a mug of the same, just with a splash of the red. The tea of the day is an organic chai* There you are. Forgive the prying, but I'm curious...do you plan on staying once Mardi Gras is over?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 12:58:55 AM)
She nodded politely to Octavian in silent thanks, picking up the tea to sip at it. "He's about ta ask ya if ye want to join his crew."
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:01:06 AM)
Well, I'd made no plans one way or the other. Figured I'd get to know the town a bit before I decided. *A glance at Azu* And the lady has brought up an idea that did cross my mind. Though truth be told, I usually don't leap aboard a ship unless I know I can stand the rest of her men.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:03:19 AM)
Azu stared at her tea a moment, then shook her head, winced lightly, and took another sip.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:03:34 AM)
*Azu gets a mock-angry glare, punctuated by his tongue being poked out at her for half a second* I was not going to ask him if he wanted to join. *a pause, then* I was going to mention that we're looking for crew. *and, snickering, he turns to Ludi* There is no 'rest of her men'. What skeleton crew I had deserted us. My only officer is a previous crewmember who heard about my troubles and rejoined.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:04:24 AM)
"Miss Serendipity is quite nice...if...engergetic."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:05:01 AM)
She smiled lightly at the teasing from Octavian. "Ah was jus' helpin ta keep things on topic."
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:06:25 AM)
Well, then if I'm currently addressin' the captain... tell me of yourself?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:06:50 AM)
Azu was glad Nameless was outside and sipped her tea, listening.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:11:30 AM)

Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:12:56 AM)
As I mentioned, Captain Octavian Van Deraa ap Dougal, at your service. Graduated third in my class from the United States Naval Academy. Of late, I was Executive officer of the Everbright under the command of Captain Fergus Kinath, also of House Dougal.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:15:50 AM)
Of late?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:16:44 AM)
Immediately prior to the Everbright's near destruction, the death of the captain, and my taking of the position. Of late.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:17:28 AM)
*He nodded* Sounds like trying times. I'll not pry.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:18:41 AM)
*He shrugs* You'll hear the story eventually, I'm sure. Suffice it to say we're limping along as best we can. Azu, myself and my XO have mostly repaired the Everbright. Now I just need sailors to crew her.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:20:00 AM)
Well, it's been some time, but I've been aboard an airship before... and though Ophelia will always be my first love, I'd like to think she'd want me to carry on.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:20:15 AM)
She tsked, apparently at herself. Muttering. "I wanted to finish the sanding in the lower deck." The eshuess off in her own thoughts.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:21:03 AM)
Ophelia? *he asks, curiously, before speaking to Azu* I'll make that part of your physical therepy.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:22:27 AM)
It took her a moment to realize she'd been spoken to and she smiled some to Octavian, but glanced back over to Bastain as her mind caught up the with conversation.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:23:19 AM)
*He smiled* A while back... when I first came into the Dreaming... I was friends with a crew who took me aboard. The captain was a Nocker going by Clanky Jack. Ophelia was a heartbreaker... she took us to task, made us try our best to keep hold of her. But she was ours, and we loved her.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:26:39 AM)
Ahh. *he says, thoughtfull, peering into his tea as if going through his memory.* So you've got some experience then...what did you do aboard this ship?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:29:07 AM)
*He chuckled* Ran to and fro, asking how high when the Captain said "jump," running ropes and rigging. I'll not claim to be a master sailor, but I put my back into it and if you hear me complain of the work you can cut my rum ration. *He grinned. Then he looked thoughtful.* Had my share of scraps, so if you're ever in hostile waters, know that I have the ship's welfare in mind afore my own.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:32:26 AM)
The eshuess dug a small notebook w/pencil from a dress pocket and started sketching something with one hand, still holding the tea in the other. Not wanting to interrupt ship business.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:34:23 AM)
Interesting. Well, regardless of wether you sign on or not, you're welcome to a hammock and two squares a day. We've got the space, and Everbright prefers being around people.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:36:01 AM)
"Be good to 'ave more people about." Azu nodded, still sketching.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:37:17 AM)
Well, I'd say... if you think you've a place for me, I'd be happy to sign up. *He grinned* As long as there could be adventure in our futures.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:39:56 AM)
We've got nothing -but- places, sailor! *said with a grin* I'm going to be writing up a new contract and crew oath over the next few weeks, so you've got 'til that's done to make your final decision.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:40:34 AM)
She frowns vaguely and changes her page to a new one, starting to sketch again.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:41:07 AM)
.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:41:36 AM)
I appreciate it. *He raised his glass* Here's to a star to sail her by.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:43:26 AM)
Azu would pause to raise her tea, it seemed appropriate.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:43:59 AM)
*He lifts his own mug, speaking softly* All we ever really need
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:44:28 AM)
"Silly people...needing stars to find your way." She teased, sipping her tea.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:47:01 AM)
Not these days, Shit. I got GPS.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:47:48 AM)
"Well, I'll get where I'm meant ta be."
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:48:34 AM)
*He sipped the wine, nodding appreciatively*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:49:50 AM)
She frowned at her latest sketch and turned the page again.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:50:35 AM)
Anyway. *said with a grin* Everbright, store guest profile. *then, to Ludi* Introduce yourself to my ship then, so she doesn't decide you're a pirate, and keelhaul you some night.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:51:34 AM)
She finished her tea, setting the cup down, and tapped the page with the pencil thoughtfully.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:52:00 AM)
"Oh...was anything left of yer costume Captain Van Deraa?"
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:52:19 AM)
*He laughed* Ludivikos, pleased to make your acquaintance, good ship Everbright.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 1:54:34 AM)
*Octavian answers Azu with a grin* Some of it, yes. It's in a box in my quarters, waiting for your pilferage. *For Ludi, a retro-looking terminal in the wall flickers to light, and a soft feminine voice issues forth from a grille under the terminal* Guest profile stored, Captain. Welcome aboard, Guest Ludivikos
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:55:25 AM)
She smiled at that and nodded.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 1:58:21 AM)
The pleasure is mine. *He glanced between the Captain and the lady* I'm not interrupting, am I?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 1:58:45 AM)
She shook her head negatively - right away. "No Mister Ludivikos...forgive me...I'm restless as of late."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:02:05 AM)
She winced a little after the emphatic shake of her head. "I'm been a bit trapped the last few days. Miss Serendipity seems intent on never letting me do more than sit in bed and read."
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 2:02:55 AM)
Why is that, if I may be so bold as to ask?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:03:55 AM)
*he lights himself another cigar, seeming somewhere between pleased and distracted, the look in his eyes distant again as Ludi and Azu speak*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:04:14 AM)
She didn't frown, but the smile went away. "I was attacked recently, I'm still recovering. Miss Serendipity and Captain Van Deraa were kind enough to take me in during the process."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:05:14 AM)
.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 2:05:19 AM)
*His aire of general contentment and quiet happiness vanished as if a switch had been thrown* My condolences. I am glad to see, then, that you are alive.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:06:47 AM)
The dreaming protects miss Azu. Specifically in the form of a mischevious and irritable sometimes-dragon.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:07:10 AM)
"Thank you Mister Ludivikos, my friend outside saved me from worse injury or death." Nodding towards Octavian's comment. "But I will heal."
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 2:09:50 AM)
Ah-hah.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:10:51 AM)
She smiled softly, but looked troubled. "I'm more concerned with more people getting hurt or killed if the problems not resolved somehow."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:10:56 AM)
In fact, it might be good if we warned you of the danger.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:11:05 AM)
She nodded.

Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:13:31 AM)
On the docks nearest Everbright sits a chimerical dragon made completely of water.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 2:13:53 AM)
Really?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:13:56 AM)
*the everbright is docked in her usual spot, though loosely so there's a good stretch of water between her and the dock*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:15:36 AM)
"South Park?" The Eshuess looked confused.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:15:59 AM)
I'll show you the episode later. *said with a waggle of his metal arm, and a grin*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:16:17 AM)
She nodded a little, looking unsure but not pressing.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:17:48 AM)
Antoine - Nameless is on the docks again today.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 2:17:56 AM)
Coming up towards the docks, Hunter stares out over the water and many of the other vessels about. A rucksack draped over her left shoulder, jeans and hoodie having definitely seen better days, her green hair provides stark contrast to anyone else who might be out at this hour. Starting to make her way through the docks as though she belongs and perish the thought of anyone telling her she doesn't.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:20:20 AM)
The dragon drew up it's eyes, watching the cap quietly, body swirling gently when he moved. If she got closer his deep voice would cut through the night again. "Visitors!" Azu would smile somewhat. "I knew that'd be a good job for him."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:21:01 AM)
Either way...the leader of these kids is a redcap, who seems intent on causing havok. *he turns to peer out the windows of the conference room, to see who the visitors are*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:21:24 AM)
Nameless himself hadn't bothered to get up, lazy dragon apparently.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 2:22:43 AM)
Not seeming to pay the fact that shes been spotted much heed, Hunter walks along one of the piers, stopping and staring out over the water towards the Everbright. "You really think a bit of water would put a pack of brats off? Is that it?"
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 2:23:07 AM)
*Tilting his head at the sound of shouting.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:23:13 AM)
The dragon yawned. "I hope they come, I'd like to drown a few."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:23:21 AM)
(Spoken by the dragon)
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:24:51 AM)
*Octavian murmers* 'Scuse me *and rises to pad out onto the deck, calling down* They dug moats around castles for a reason. Come to visit?
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 2:26:15 AM)
"No, I walked my ass all the way over here just to look at your boat and piss over the side about how a bit of water scares nobody. Well, until theres a water hag but thats a whole 'nother story ain't it?"
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 2:28:01 AM)
*wheeling the all new Big Ass Cooler, and stopping by the alleyway to drop off a rather substantial chunk of leftovers and whatnot from work. Hopefully the boss won't kill him. After that, pushing the pushcart and leaving the dragon a small bowl of gumbo and hot sauce...finally making his way toward the boat*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:28:25 AM)
*he glances over his shoulder, and Everbright drops the gangplank so Hunter can come aboard* Come on then. Wine and tea on in the conference room.

Nameless perked at the food, nodding his thanks to the boggan and lapping.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 2:30:17 AM)
"The cook arrives ..." Moving her way over the plank and giving a nod towards the boggan as he approaches before gazing over each of the occupants consideringly. Paying Bastian a touch more mind, she doesn't know him.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 2:31:21 AM)
*Bastian raised his glass in greeting to the lady just come aboard, then drained it in one last gulp.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:31:37 AM)
Azu nodded politely to Hunter, smiling to Antoine and offering a friendly wave, before wincing lightly and pulling her arm back down.
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 2:31:51 AM)
*tiny wave to Azu* 'Allo the boat?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:32:30 AM)
*oct just waves to Antoine* Come on up, Master Chef. Wine's out and tea's on in the conference room.
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 2:34:24 AM)
Oooh, okay. Is there conferecin'?
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 2:34:52 AM)
*heaving the cooler behind him, and breaking out in a light sweat*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:35:17 AM)
Just relaxing, Master Chef. *he moves, snagging the handle of the cooler to help pull it aboard* Talking current events
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:35:55 AM)
Azu carefully rose to get herself some more tea. "Would you like more wine Mister Ludivikos? Would you like wine or tea Mister Antoine, Miss Hunter?" Raising her voice to be heard.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 2:36:22 AM)
Hunter just gives an upnod to the greeting by Bastian, moving to slowly take a step here, a step there to try to take as much of the boat in as possible, part of her hoping it doesn't move around too much. Trying to think of the last time she was on one ... if she had ever been on one. "Wine? Well... beggers can't be choosers."
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 2:36:59 AM)
I t'ink...it might be good if I just sit a second. Thanks Cha Cap'n.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 2:37:13 AM)
Far be it from me to turn down hospitality. Especially when 'tis of the liquid variety. *He chuckled*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:38:54 AM)
She'd refill Bastians glass, then get Hunter a glass of the same. After that she refills whatever Octavian had before finally getting her own refill of tea and carefully sitting down again. Nameless was happily lapping outside, perhaps more bubbly in appearance than before.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:39:38 AM)
*Chimerically, the ship doesn't move much at all, as she's stabilized by her various flight mechanisms. Octavian motions Antoine towards the conference room...which is just as it sounds, a room with a table surrounded, at the back of the ship, the only open door on the deck currently. He takes the cooler totally now, murmering * Go sit, get some wine. I'll drag this beast over.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:41:50 AM)
"I doubt it, but you haven't had any trouble with the children have you Miss Hunter?"
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 2:42:55 AM)
Looking down at the glass, she sniffs at it curiously before taking a respectable gulp, swirling it in her mouth, savoring it thoughtfully before a gulp. "Children know better than come to an asylum and try to say hi to its spook. I've heard they're about though, some poor bastard talked about them throwing stones at his roof all night..." A bemused grin, teeth glinting in the light.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 2:42:56 AM)
*His attention returned to Hunter. He sipped his wine. This could be interesting.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:43:51 AM)
She nodded at that. "I'm glad, if you hear word of where they generally haunt could you let us know? We're trying to help them."
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 2:45:09 AM)
*grabbing a little wine* Some of it's for Azu...she hungry.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:45:52 AM)
Azu blushed some at the reminder of her odd hunger, sipping her tea.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:47:01 AM)
*Octavian rejoins the others after securing Antoine's cooler, grabbing up his mug and topping up his own tea* Everbright spent a half hour complaining that she didn't have cannons anymore. She wanted to...what was it...'give the spoiled scamps a taste of chan-shot'
Bastian Campbell (Mar 2, 2011 2:47:10 AM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 24.93.141.242)
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 2:47:55 AM)
"Help the kids or ... help the oldies?" Tilting her head and looking thoughtfully back at her wine. "This ain't actually bad. Maybe I am finally developing new tastes. Who knows." Pausing as Octavian talks about the ship shes on as being sentient and looking down questioningly.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:49:00 AM)
"Chan-shot?" Another of those 'huh what?' expressions. Then distractedly to Hunter. "The kids...I just wish whatever's happened to them it wouldn't have gotten so bad that it came to what it has. If we can help them then perhaps things can be resolved without further injuries or any casualties."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:50:58 AM)
*he nods* Exactly so, Azu. I'm trying to figure out a way to get them help, without it being obvious the help is from us.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 2:52:12 AM)
A pause and then shrugging. "Heard rumor that one of the more active ones of them might be a cap. I think I might see about paying them a visit. No matter how old I am, staying a child at heart. For which I count my blessin's."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:52:48 AM)
"Yes a young Rashaan."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:54:11 AM)
Shit yeah. kid's one of the most nihilistic fucks I've ever met. And not in a good way, in a 'burn it all down just to spite the other fucker, even if it totally fucks me over' kinda way.
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 2:54:40 AM)
*listening quietly*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:55:34 AM)
Azu glanced toward the food, and as Octavian had taken over talking went to find herself some and help serve those that were around the table. Slow, but she'd get there.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 2:56:51 AM)
"Sounds like me before I found out I was a cap... some things never really do change." An amused smirk and she hefts her backpack off her shoulders and puts it at her feet with a thud. Finishing off her wine already and looking thoughtful. "Might be able to help, might not."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 2:57:30 AM)
Anything that solves this without anyone dying is fine in my book. Thanks for trying.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 2:58:04 AM)
She nodded in agreement. "Jes."
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 2:59:26 AM)
*quietly* The...the fox looking one. We might be able to get him to come over.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:00:15 AM)
"Red and White." She nodded. "Though I'm still concerned what might happen to them if Miss 9 Fingers catches up to them. You know the tales of sluagh."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:00:16 AM)
...Isn't one of our resident pooka a fox? *asked as he peers at the others*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:00:34 AM)
"I think so Captain Van Deraa."
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:00:36 AM)
"Ain't nothing to hurt for trying.... might appreciate one of her own a little more. Who knows." Waving her glass around a touch. "Any more of that wine?"
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 3:01:25 AM)
There's one that's a coyote. She loves her some strawberries.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:01:48 AM)
*Octavian leans way back in his chair, reaching out his arm...a little surge of glamour and the wine bottle in the cabinet jumps out, and into his hand. He rolls it over to Hunter* I'm thinking if we get the older fox to talk to the younger, he might listen a little better.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:03:40 AM)
"I'm not sure, they might resent that as more getting another grown up to talk to them. Though I suppose it wouldn't really change things as they stand." She finished getting food for people and sat down with her own, eating politely.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:05:01 AM)
A shrug from Hunter. "Fuck, I'm probably all old enough now to be your mother, but that ain't gonna stop me from trying to talk to some Rashaan and try to do some good, maybe make their efforts ... a little more selective at least."
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 3:05:12 AM)
I think he'd listen at least as long as we had something to offer that he ain't gettin' now.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:06:24 AM)
Which is kind of why I'd prefer to get the muggle authorities involved in this first. Get food to them, maybe get some of the non-fae into foster care..which , while shitty, is better then where they are now.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:07:40 AM)
She nodded in agreement there. "I wonder if Mister Bezerker would be willing to help with that. He seemed...very angry last we spoke with him."
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 3:07:54 AM)
How do we know they ain't already got moms and dads lookin' for 'em?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:08:29 AM)
They might. Which is something else the muggles would be able to handle more efficiently then we would.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:08:48 AM)
"I sure as hell didn't want no authorities or parents telling me what to do when I was there age. Sure as hell most of them won't want that crap either, thats what they're rebelling against."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:09:56 AM)
Regardless of wether they want it, it's best for them. Note, I'm not speaking of the fae children, just the mortals.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:10:14 AM)
"What they want, and what they need to keep themselves from getting killed are different things." Azu said, glancing from Octavian to Hunter. "What we want isn't always best for us."
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:11:50 AM)
"Yeah, but you try seperating them. You'll end up with bruises and sore as Azu is right now." Smirking. "Or worse. Just cause they're kids doesn't mean we shouldn't respect them."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:12:45 AM)
"I'm well aware Miss Hunter, but we can't let them get themselves killed either." Quietly.
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 3:13:27 AM)
*chews on his cheek for a few moments before staying quiet*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:13:54 AM)
Seperating them is easy. *said with confidence* In fact, if they show up here again, that'll actually make things much simpler.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:15:55 AM)
Eyeing Octavian she pours herself the wine and then leaves the bottle seated near one of her feet. It seems shes thinking of quite what to say before a quick shake of her head and another swift gulp of her beverage.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:17:01 AM)
Azu considered the sidhe as well, curious what he was plotting.
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 3:17:17 AM)
What if they bring their head honcho widdem?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:17:50 AM)
*he shrugs. explaining* As much as I -hate- exerting my will over others, I am quite capable of it...and I'd much rather a group of kids hate me but live to grow up then like me and never see tomorrow.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:18:31 AM)
She nodded at that. "Logical I suppose."
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:21:01 AM)
Hunter just gulps the last of her wine back before moving to idly kick the bottle back Octavian's way. "And you wonder why they hate grown ups."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:24:58 AM)
No, actually, I don't wonder. It's easy to see why. That doesn't change the fact it's or -duty- to protect them. They are still children.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:25:49 AM)
"And by forcing them to do what you want ... you're protecting them?" A snort. "No, you're just making yourself as bad as the people you want to protect them from. Thats gotta be a last fucken resort."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:25:50 AM)
"They're upsetting the balance." Azu commented with a shrug, like it explained part of her reasoning.
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 3:25:52 AM)
Mebbe...try something else first? I mean....what I saw of those kids the other night...they scared, and they hungry. Their current boss may not be so nice, and...y'know.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:26:55 AM)
*he turns to Antoine* I plan on it. My first idea is to try to get a muggle charity to get food and clothes to them.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:28:37 AM)
"The balance if you ain't noticed already is fucken piss poor. The city is in a shit of a state and if there wasn't something about the big easy I'd have left before a pooka could lie - fuck the balance, there ain't none."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:29:45 AM)
Azu frowned slightly. "Jes, de balance be off, thus why it be mah duty to do what ah can ta return it ta a even level."
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:32:05 AM)
Hunter pauses as Azu suddenly slips into a more pronounced accent, gazing at her consideringly before smirking. "Considered that maybe the kids are trying to get rid of some of the authority about here and help it be more even too?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:33:01 AM)
Even if that's true...and I admit it might be...they're doing it the wrong way.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:33:46 AM)
She shook her head. "What dey be doin, it still be de dark ways o things...it bring no balance to de light if dings be done wit more blood."
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:35:38 AM)
A smirk at that and Hunter just shakes her head. "I'm a red cap, you think I give a shit about whether its dark or light.... or if it involves blood? So long as it gets the job fucken done."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:36:51 AM)
"It not a matter o yer responsibility Miss Hunter, it a matter o mine."
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:38:35 AM)
A glint of amusement in her eyes, looking at Azu for a time. "Before you yourself decide a little blood ain't so bad? Eh?" Laughing and shrugging.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:40:21 AM)
"A little is sadly a part o de balance. My personal feelin' on it dun matter, darkness is needed as well as light. Ah jus do what ah can to keep the balance in it's place."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:41:06 AM)
*octavian lights a cigar, puffing a moment* If it takes blood, I'll shed gallons. But I won't like it much. So, I'm trying to solve this issue without it. That's all. Balance brings itself about.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:42:03 AM)
She sighed lightly, then just sipped her tea, not sure how to explain.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:43:20 AM)
"And who decides what balance is? You do? That seems rather ..." A shake of her head and she shorts, moving to turn and walk away from them both to look out over the water. As though shes doing her best to not piss off those shes come to visit, as close as she'll come to stopping herself from going too far.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 3:45:09 AM)
(This user has entered The Everbright) (IP = 79.209.85.188)
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:45:15 AM)
"De Loa do, de elders. Ah follow de customs that 'ave been lain down fer generations. It be a bit complicated to discuss in one sittin' but ah be glad ta explain in more detail ye ever care ta come an visit."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:45:47 AM)
Ask me, shit balances itself. Dark gets to big for it's britches, it falls hard and light comes up. Same happens if light gets all bloated and bigheaded.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 3:46:03 AM)
*surfaces after doing her usual rings around the ship to check for observers, sliding over to the hull to touch it and whisper her request for a ladder*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:47:59 AM)
"Ah prefer not to get involved most times...but some dings are too much fer me ta do nuttin' wit Miss Hunter. We already suffered cause de loa got angry when de balance been disturbed. Ah jus wanna keep it from happenin' again."
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 3:48:25 AM)
*veeeeerrrrrrry quiet when the loas get invoked.*
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:48:44 AM)
Hunter is looking out over the water, nearly empty glass of wine in hand, taking a gulp of the last of its contents and then putting the glass down before she does something with it she might regret later. "Shit don't balance itself out. One way or another ... its still fucken shit. And Azu ... make your mind up about which fucken accent you're gonna talk in eh?"
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:49:18 AM)
That just earned Hunter a confused expression, and the eshu sipped her tea.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:51:51 AM)
*Everbright lowers a ladder for Savi, of course, without needing to be ordered to*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:53:51 AM)
Azu shakes her head and stays quiet, choosing not to argue.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 3:53:55 AM)
*she dips under to get speed and launch herself, catching hold of the ladder as momentum carries her to thump agaisnt the hull..but at least she doesn't have quite so far to haul herself up*
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 3:53:56 AM)
*chews his cheek again* I think...mebbe, like, we should do somethin' that don't involve, uh, child services? I mean...people c'n get lost in the bowels of guvmint.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 3:56:22 AM)
*hoists her long tail up and over the ship's railing to sit on the ledge there* Hallo.. *smiling lightly to those she can see*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 3:58:01 AM)
*Octavian rises automatically, padding outside to offer Savi a ride* hey, fishgirl. Whats' going on?
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 3:58:41 AM)
Hunter gives Saviitas a nod, trying to remember whether amidst their antics the other time she'd even been given a name. Trying to cool her temper down and looking out over the docks to do so.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:59:05 AM)
Nameless is laying over on the docks again today.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 3:59:33 AM)
Azu's finished her meal, and is sketching in her notebook again now that the conversation seems to have died.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 3:59:43 AM)
I don't know, I just got here.. *she whispers conspiratorialy to Octavian* Help me out with the answer so I don't look dumb? *sea blue eyes glittering*
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:00:54 AM)
*waves to Hunter* Hallo Hunter, crawdad pots doing well for you?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:01:15 AM)
Saviitas got a polite nod from the Eshu when she noticed the mermaid.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:01:55 AM)
*he offers his hands to Savi* Come on, I'll carry you inside. There's tea!
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:02:24 AM)
"I ain't been since last time, figured with all the food I had the last time... the river'd be need a bit o' time to breed me some replacements." Turning about and leaning against the side of the boat as she talks.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:03:54 AM)
*nods back to Azu with a soft smile before reaching to hold Octavian's shoulders and make herself easier to carry* Well.. I might move the pot, Hunter.. but it's likely your catch will be smaller..yes. *laughing a bit*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:05:40 AM)
She got herself distracted with her sketching, biting her lip and staring, tapping the pencil on her lip.
Antoine Bourque (Mar 2, 2011 4:06:20 AM)
Cha fish! I...uhm..I gotta go...((read: player is seeing double. Sleeeepy))
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:06:28 AM)
((Night Antoine!))
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:06:30 AM)
(g'night :) )

(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 24.8.112.48)
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:06:55 AM)
*she waves her fingers to the departing boggan, but doesn't let go of the sidhe carrying her until she's set down*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:07:19 AM)
*He carries her into the conference room, settling her into one of the comfy chairs there, and then getting her a mug of warm tea* There you are, dear.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:07:52 AM)
Sketch...pause, erase...stare...repeat.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:08:00 AM)
"Probably a good idea to move the pot anyways, looks like I've got competition for food in that there water..." Giving Saviitas an amused smirk and still a little uncertain how a gal suddenly develops fins.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:09:00 AM)
Thank you, that's more than sweet. *tucks the end of her tail to one side of the chair's legs to clear the path of anyone trying to move about, accepting the tea in both hands to try a sip*
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:09:44 AM)
*to Hunter* I tend to run into folks down near the docks there, so I visit fairly often.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:13:18 AM)
*the tea is organic chai. clove and cinnamon and delicious. Octiavian sits back down, getting that distant look in his eyes again as his mind wanders*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:14:01 AM)
Azu was distracted herself...pausing to consider on occassion but busily sketching.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:15:13 AM)
"I don't make too much of being here or the water in general, just go from place to place as is needed without any really preferance to any. Ah can see why you might have a preference to the docks though." Winking her way.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:15:13 AM)
*sniffs appreciatively, the flattish nose seeming to protrude a more for just a moment as she gets a noseful* This smells different.. what is it? *sipping more, as if to prove "different" wasn't a complaint*
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:16:16 AM)
*she laughs* Yes.. well I am always the visitor, never the visitee.. *to Hunter*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:18:44 AM)
She scowled at her paper then, and sighed, turning the page and putting it down. Picking back up her tea, looking troubled.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:20:23 AM)
Chai. It means tea, so it's tea tea. Don't ask. It's got cloves and cinnamon and other stuff, but it's based on black tea. *he kind of babbles a little her e...tea is something he likes*
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:21:35 AM)
Shaking her head, she moves to follow them, depositing her wine glass somewhere. "I would offer you to be a visitor to my home but its not near any water, so I guess thats not likely to happen."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:21:36 AM)
That got her to smile lightly. "The tea tea is enjoyable Captain Van Deraa, thank you."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:23:13 AM)
Cloves and cinnamon.. *sniffing again and nodding* I like the spices. Mostly I've just had leaves and flowers in my teacup. *wide pupil-less eyes lifting toward Hunter again* It would certainly be more difficult. I would have to get to know you a bit better perhaps. I don't like to be so far away.. it gives my head fits of indigestion.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:24:34 AM)
"Your head ... fits of indigestion ..." Pausing and then not saying more as though the red cap is trying to figure that one out.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:24:49 AM)
"If there's a path without mundane eyes, Nameless could help carry you Miss Saviitas. I think he likes you...though its hard to tell with him most of the time."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:25:32 AM)
*Octavian snickers at that, then adds* Or You could both just hang out here. Everbright likes the company.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:26:20 AM)
"There are exceptions." She mutters to Octavian's snicker, taking a drink.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:27:33 AM)
"I don't mean to claim this as my home. I'm sure Everbright wouldn't enjoy me ... and my painting the town red." A bemused smirk.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:27:48 AM)
Nameless is very kind, but it's mnore to do with me not liking the distance..than any doubt I could be transported that far. I've seen the cars and treks rolling along the dock.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:28:33 AM)
Azu nodded at that. "It is logical Miss Saviitas, but if you ever need us please feel free to ask."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:28:37 AM)
Everbright is my first real visitor in some time. *laughing* She's stayed longer than I'd hoped.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:29:04 AM)
*nods to Azu* Thank you Azu.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:30:31 AM)
"When I'm feeling a bit better I could swim with you as well sometime. I'm sure there are nice places in the ocean here no one else would really know about."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:30:33 AM)
Everbright's entirely used to Redcaps. She's had more then one on her crew.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:31:17 AM)
There was a winged lady who'd asked that as well.. *looking to Azu* I haven't seen her since she asked, I suppose she changed her mind.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:31:22 AM)
"Not quite what I meant." Smirking and gazing down over Saviitas' for a while before musing something out loud. "Perhaps a bath tub."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:31:56 AM)
"Well, I'm fairly good in the water...though I couldn't really until my injuries have healed."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:33:24 AM)
...Maybe I'll build a submarine. *he muses, half to himself* Or ...hrm...
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:33:48 AM)
*to Hunter* That is the water..without anything the water represents to me. I would still be somewhat confined. This.. *gesturing back the way Octavian had brought her from* Is even a little outside my comfort. But I am trying.. and I think I can trust the Captain this far..at least. *winking the sidhe's direction with laughter in her gaze*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:34:41 AM)
Azu glanced to Octavian, grinning a bit, perhaps having a similiar thought.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:34:44 AM)
I have known Calvin and Gordy for 6 years.. and I still panic when they carry me past the front room of Rooks. *a sheepish look* It is hard for me.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:34:46 AM)
What? Yes, of course you can trust me this far. Especially 'cause I can fling you to the water from here, if there's danger
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:35:04 AM)
*a laugh for Octavian* As can I. *which..is really more the point*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:35:32 AM)
Exactly...and it's not like you'd be hurt if somebody sunk Everbright.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:36:18 AM)
Azu muttered something in a foreign language. (Ewe on the off chance anyone has it)
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:36:27 AM)
"Other than the fact that somebody had ... sunk the Everbright." Smirking and then nodding Savi's way. "Well, suppose it just means if I want to get ta know you more I have to take the appropriate steps."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:37:16 AM)
((Nope!)) *she chuckles and places a hand over her heart* I would be Crushed, were that to happen. I like her as well as she seems to approve of me.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:37:49 AM)
She's been sunk before, and survived. Granted, that was before...
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:37:57 AM)
*nods to Hunter* Indeed, but I beg some measure of patience, be warned.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:39:21 AM)
And she may take comfort in the knowing that so long as she is near these waters..no piece of her could ever truly be lost. I can find anything, in my own domain.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:39:25 AM)
"I'd protect Everbright best I could." Azu commented softly, though she was looking at her tea. "I think Nameless would as well."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:39:32 AM)
*looking back to Octavian at the last*
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:40:01 AM)
"I have far ... more patience than you might expect. For a cap that is, expect me to rip people a new one same as anyone else... t' be expected really."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:41:37 AM)
*laughs, taking another drink from her cup before answering Hunter* Really, anything more would be out of the question.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:42:04 AM)
*he blinks a bit, focusing his eyes again* I keep her shielded now. It'd take a lot to sink her, so I'm not too worried.But thank you, Savi, Thank you Azu. YOu guys remind me not everyone sucks. Even you. *said with an absent motion to Hunter. His tone is teasing, of course*
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:44:40 AM)
I should think sitting on your craft surrounded by beautiful women would do that well enough without the kind words. *chuckling, teasing the Captain lightly*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:45:05 AM)
"Not everyone." She commented, it was hard to tell if she was joking or not, she was setting down her empty tea and eyeing her sketch pad as if it was treacherous.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:45:05 AM)
"Fuck. I clearly haven't been trying enough." A bemused smirk and then looking off into the distance, as though her minds taken her momentarily elsewhere.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:45:27 AM)
*he blinks, glances at his guests as if suddenly realizing he -is- surrounded by hot chicks* Well, shit.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:45:49 AM)
What on earth are you so angry about on your own book, Azu?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:46:32 AM)
"Something I'm working on...it's just never quite working out the way I want it to."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:46:45 AM)
May I see?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:48:19 AM)
Azu nodded after a moment of thought, passing over the notepad.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:49:15 AM)
*she sets her tea on her scaley lap to look at the book curiously*
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:50:25 AM)
Gazing at Octavian, Hunter just smiles in bemusement, as if daring him to look at her as a "hot chick."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:53:02 AM)
Yeah...*his gaze is appreciative, though not really lecherous. He's far too disciplined for -that-...but he definitely checks each woman out. Hunter included*
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:53:08 AM)
*turns the book sideways, trying to make sense of the pictures* So.. you just don't like the finished pieces..or you're losing too much strength the smaller the pieces get?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:54:06 AM)
"I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a good positioning so all the plates will fit without being too heavy." She commented sipping her tea.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:54:53 AM)
"I have a few design ideas but the weight is still throwing me off."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:55:03 AM)
*she shakes her head, the schematics beyond her more instinctual understanding* Maybe..use something other than metal?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:55:05 AM)
Lemme see *he interjects, looking over*
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:55:27 AM)
Hunter just watches his looks from one person to the next and when she notices him doing it to her too, theres a raise of an eyebrow and then a telling grin. Not looking to be intimidating but probably being so anyway. "Guess I should consider that a compliment..." Despite looking younger than the others in the room.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:55:51 AM)
*a side note, to hunter* Yes, you should.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 4:56:13 AM)
"Well, I don't know too much of chimerical possibilities for designs, I was planning to ask Mister Melvin as he's been helping me with Chimerical Alchemy." She nodded to Savi in such a way she didn't mind if the mermaid passed the notebook to Octavian.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:56:42 AM)
*offers the sketchbook toward the sidhe*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 4:56:58 AM)
*he reaches out to snag it, then peers at it*
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 4:58:48 AM)
Just letting the three pass the book between themselves, Hunter doesnt intrude upon them, instead she moves for the bottle of wine and actually lifts it up to work upon finishing it off. No point leaving it to waste after all.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 4:59:40 AM)
*picks up her tea to finish it off as well, setting the cup aside* Mm.. all warm in my middle.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 5:00:23 AM)
*He peers for a moment, thinks for another moment, then pulls out his own sketchpad, scribbling something onto a page, then tearing out the page and sticking it into Azu's notebook before sliding it back to her*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:00:43 AM)
She takes her notebook back and looks at it.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:01:36 AM)
She nodded thoughtfully.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:01:48 AM)
"Still a problem with weight."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:02:47 AM)
There are a few things in the Deeps that have heavy scales.. if you can convince them to part with a few.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 5:03:22 AM)
Nah, cause the groves take a lot of weight off. The other option is cut-away filigree.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:03:27 AM)
"Possibly." She nodded in appeciation to Savi, jotting a few things down.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:03:30 AM)
Shells too.. but they're not so tough.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 5:03:51 AM)
The key, as Savi realizes, is the material.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:04:52 AM)
*smiles, pleased she hit upon the issue more by luck than skill.. but still!*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:05:17 AM)
"Yes, that what I was saying before you took the book Captain. That I was hoping to ask Melvin for suggestions on materials. Seems logical to find out the best possibilities before we go out for supplies."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 5:05:59 AM)
That's the issue with the Dream though...it doesn't follow rules like that. You have to find materials, then decide what to use it for. Usually.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:06:30 AM)
She grinned. "Captain Van Deraa...I always eventually find what I'm after."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 5:07:21 AM)
...I know. So fix it in your head, and we'll find it.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 5:07:25 AM)
Listening to them all, Hunter quirks an eyebrow after wiping her lips clean with her sleeve. Looking askance for a moment before deciding shes got about as much as she needs from the discussion - making something and needing something unusual to do it....
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:08:13 AM)
She chuckled some and nodded. "Thus why I still need to ask. Thank you for the suggestions on design though."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:09:31 AM)
Who is this shield for? *curiously*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 5:09:51 AM)
I like my design. *he muses, rising and stretching his metal arm* I might make myself one, learn to fight sword and board.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:10:21 AM)
"Myself Miss Saviitas. It seems wise after what happened to be able to defend myself better."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:10:40 AM)
Ahh..
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:11:10 AM)
"Would you like something similiar? I can try to find extra supplies?"
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:11:23 AM)
"I need the practice as well."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:11:36 AM)
No thank you. I don't carry anything heavy at all.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:11:53 AM)
Kind to offer though.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:12:29 AM)
"Well, I'm going to try to make it as light as possible." Azu said. "But as you like."
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 5:13:33 AM)
"A shield?" Smirking in amusement. "Good as long as you're charging up to them, whack them across the jaw with it ... and then proceed to make them swallow it." Hunter seeming to have a different quality in mind for shields...
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:14:14 AM)
*she reaches to her side where a small blue purselike thing is, fishing her arms deep inside the little bag..well-past where they should have come out the other side in all fairness*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:14:29 AM)
"I'd prefer to throw things at them from a distance and keep it for personal defence." Staring at Hunters description in a shocked way.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 5:14:48 AM)
Well ladies, I have work to get done. If you'll excuse me, I'm going below decks. Feel free to stay. If you want to stay the night, ask Everbright for a pathlight to an empty bunk, and she'll lead you to one...just follow the blue lights
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:16:14 AM)
She stood up politely when Octavian moved to leave, wincing a bit but otherwise making it up all right for the quickness. "Good evening Captain Van Deraa."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:16:17 AM)
I have..enough trouble with the metal I have to tote around until I can meet with my friend to sell them.. *retrieving a handful of rings, watches, necklaces.. all in a tumbled heap* Oh.. Good night Octavian. *waving the gold at him*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:17:23 AM)
She smiled at Saviitas heap of things. Sitting back down after Octavian walked away.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 5:17:34 AM)
*He shakes his head* If you want to, we can store your haul in Everbright's safe. Just let me know. Anyway, be safe, all of you. *as he moves towards the door that leads belowdecks* (night all! have fun)
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 5:17:39 AM)
"Evening Octopus." Nodding to him, though the term seeming to be more a nickname than anything of malice. "At least you know you'll be protected tonight."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:17:44 AM)
(laters)
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 2, 2011 5:18:11 AM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 174.101.116.91)
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:19:26 AM)
She considered the sketch he'd given her, nodding somewhat.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:19:40 AM)
*she drops the handful of jewelry back into her reticule..then searches around in it* Um.. I have.. No. I don't have any scales of the sort I meant. I'll see if I can get one to show your friend Melvin.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:20:39 AM)
She smiled lightly to the mermaid. "Thank you Miss Saviitas, it's appreciated."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:23:05 AM)
Of course.. Not saying it will happen, but I'll look for discarded ones.
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 5:23:27 AM)
"Haven't seen Melvin in a while... pity, despite him being a fucken horrible attempt at being a ladies man, he wasn't all bad. First person I'd shown my place for years..."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:24:24 AM)
"The thought is still kind of you. I figure we might be able to find something on our trip for supplies as well." Then canting her head at Hunter. "I believe he's been busy with his store. At least when I go for lessons he seems so."
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 5:25:49 AM)
A shrug. "Well then maybe it wasn't just that he got more freaked out about the place than I'd thought. Good."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:27:10 AM)
"Melvin is a bit...distracted sometimes. But I believe he's a bit fearless sometimes. At least one would think so inviting me into his home to work with chimerical alchemy." Thoughtful, as if remembering something.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:28:40 AM)
Or he lives in a small explosion-proof box..?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:32:20 AM)
She blushed. "Well, he's watched me pretty closely, the only thing I set on fire was the rag near the stove. But I got him a new one."
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 5:32:51 AM)
"Fire ... and alchemy. Yeah, I can see that going down well. I think I'm glad suddenly I live on the other side of town..."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:35:19 AM)
"I've mostly gotten down now what not to mix for immediately volitale reactions."
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:38:17 AM)
*she laughs* I hope that was lesson one?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:38:52 AM)
She shook her head. "No, but I guess that's what one gets from a nocker and a eshu making things." Grinning some.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:39:40 AM)
The most interesting path to disastrous success?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:40:20 AM)
"But still success, with interesting stories along the way."
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 5:41:14 AM)
"And burnt eyebrows ... I imagine." Smirking and polishing off the last of the wine bottle before putting it off to one side.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:41:41 AM)
"I haven't lost them...yet at least. Luck I suppose."
Hunter Smyth (Mar 2, 2011 5:45:31 AM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 222.154.6.16)
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:45:57 AM)
Azu.. I don't suppose Nameless would be so kind as to take me back to the rail?
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:46:08 AM)
((Hunter's Java crashed))
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:49:15 AM)
((But I ..have RL and forums to attend to. lol So I need to run for a while. Hunter's player says they're faceswapping.))
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:49:24 AM)
"Let me get him Miss Saviitas." (ah okies) She'd get up carefully and a moment later the Mermaid could hear the girl yelling. "Hey, could you come and help miss Saviitas back to the side of the ship." Then after another moment the water dragon came padding inside.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:49:38 AM)
(Okies well catch you later then, Nameless would help and such.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:50:03 AM)
*she smiles to the dragon, arranging the reticule around hr waist again and reaching to embrace the dragon so he can carry her out* Thank you Nameless, you're really too kind to me.
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:50:21 AM)
((Thanks hon! Later!))
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:50:23 AM)
"Naw, mermaid, water dragon, logical miss."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 2, 2011 5:50:27 AM)
(later *Waves*)
Saviitas (Mar 2, 2011 5:50:44 AM)
*kisses the dragon's snout before slipping away into the waves below*
