Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:11:00 AM)
*The ship, moored at a dock as it is, is rather obviously battered and beaten. The mundane Baltimore Clipper ship is missing spars, the sails, even though they're stowed, are obviously tattered. One of the masts is cracked down the middle. The chimerical ship is even more battered. Huge clawmarks marr her sides and decks. Massive burn scars show here and there on her wood and metal exterior. The whole ship seems...sad somehow. Like a whipped puppy almost, cringing and cowering*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:13:35 AM)
*Octavian leads the couple aboard, stopping to settle an affectionate hand onto one half splintered railing along the edge of the deck* Welcome aboard, both of you.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:15:21 AM)
*her eyes were as big as saucers when she sees the ship*Whoa *she didnt step on board just yet*What happened to her*said with a saddness in her voice,choosing then to step on board,lightly touching the railing with her hand*

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:17:14 AM)
*whisper and nez followed regarding the ship with keene interest* how rather amazing.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:17:25 AM)
We were attacked, in the Deep. *his voice drifts towards sadness, deep as only Sidhe seem to feel* Dragons, not huge ones...but there were hundreds.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:20:34 AM)
*slight nod of her head,as she offered him a smile*Do not worry she is still beautiful,and she will be back to her former glory sooner than expected Iam certain*sad as she walked around even if the ship was beaten and batter she still found it beautiful,lightly touching the wood*do not worry,you will return to normal*speaking to the ship*

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:24:39 AM)
*shrugs* i think the ship is pretty now. *he comments*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:25:54 AM)
*glances over her shoulder,smiling at Nez*Course you would...

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:26:02 AM)
*inclines his head* yes.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:26:08 AM)
*He smiles a tight, sad smile* Thank you, both of you. I don't doubt the Everbright will regain her former glory. The loss of my crew...and her previous Captain...is what haunts me now. And the fact the survivors abandoned her once we limped to port, calling her cursed. She is -not- cursed.

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:26:27 AM)
i am sure she is not.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:26:56 AM)
*he laughs, the sound borderline bitter* I'm...not so sure myself anymore, after learning what we landed in.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:27:06 AM)
Why did they say she was cursed?

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:27:11 AM)
Do I dare ask?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:29:17 AM)
We lost twenty of her crew, out of thirty five. And the captain. Her props are bent, her cogitor scorched by dragonsfire. Not one of her cannon survived. To top it all off....when we dropped out of the Deep, we dropped into a storm that did almost as bad to her Clipper mask.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:31:50 AM)
*she cringed at hearing that*Oh,ouch*stopped walking around finally turned to look at Oct and Nez*so that makes you captain now,yes? And how do you find a crew for a ship such as this? And Im sure there are plenty of people that can help you fix her right up..

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:34:13 AM)
*looking around* I think i will skulk around a bit.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:34:48 AM)
Well...She chose me herself to lead the survivors. One only Captains the Everbright with her permission.,,,and I don't know. It'll be easy enough finding mortal history buffs to dress up and offer tours...so we can at least keep her suffused with the wonder of children and dreams of the age of sail...insurance will cover repairs of her mortal mask...*then, to Nezzar* Be careful. parts of her are fragile, and other parts are dangerously unstable.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:36:18 AM)
I gathered the part about the mundane issues,I meant the other aspect of it..I would offer to help but I have no knowledge of such things,sorry..

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:36:32 AM)
Wait,what do you mean her premission?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:37:53 AM)
She's sentient. *he says, smiling that sad smile stil* Even now. She was damaged...lost much of her memory..but she is still herself. Mostly.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:38:35 AM)
*she gave him a curious loook*Sentient? What is that?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:38:58 AM)
..Have you ever watched a science fiction movie where the space ship had a computer that talked?

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:39:09 AM)
*nods*Yes

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:39:33 AM)
*He nods, patting the railing again* So does she.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:39:46 AM)
Oh,so the samething in a sense?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:40:22 AM)
The same thing almost exactly. Once I get more of the repairs done, I'll introduce you.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:41:12 AM)
*nods with a smile*I can not wait,and to be honest that is extremely cool*slight chuckle*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:41:38 AM)
It's even cooler to see, trust me. Well...if you have a thing for gears at least.

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:42:04 AM)
I'll be alright.. i'm a bendy.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:42:47 AM)
Bendys still get splinters *he says, grinning over at Nez, seeming more cheerful now* And sharp things still cut.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:43:12 AM)
Im afraid I dont,sorry...But,still cant wait*small smile,walks over to the railing lightly touching it taking care to be gentle as she looked at the water*When you get her fixed,I so want you to take her out with me on it of course*chuckles*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:43:43 AM)
Been,awhile since I was on a boat to be honest,course this is a different kind of boat but still*shrugs8

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:44:03 AM)
that makes it an adventure

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:44:19 AM)
*glances at Nez*What you think,Nez..Think Toothless would like it as well?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:44:22 AM)
Once i get her Shadowfield repaired, I'll take you flying. That's significantly cooler then sailing.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:44:42 AM)
*she whipped around*Flying,seriously!

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:44:59 AM)
She -is- an airship. *he says with a smirk*

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:45:21 AM)
*looks at faith like shes retarded*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:45:27 AM)
Oh,well forgive me for not knowing...Mister smarty britches..*chuckles*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:45:45 AM)
Shut up Nez*catching his look*

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:45:59 AM)
*puts his hand over his mouth*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:46:16 AM)
*grins at him,shaking her head*Yeah,thats what I thought.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:46:38 AM)
She could fly now...but it's -very- dangerous to be seen like that. Like falling to your death dangerous. She had an invisibility generator that bypassed that....but it was damaged. Along with her Dreamgate generator.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:47:56 AM)
*canting her head to the side,as she looked at Oct*Invisibilty genertator,Dreamgate generator?

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:47:57 AM)
Seriously?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:48:56 AM)
Seriously. We burned out the Dreamgate making the jump back....my jury rigging was as temporary as I thought it would be...but it was better then being trapped in the Deep.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:49:47 AM)
*she sighed soflty*Okay pretend,I dont now what a Dreamgate generator is..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:50:14 AM)
It opens a portal to the dreaming. The Shadowfield is the thing that makes her invisible.

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:50:22 AM)
*he's run his hand over the railing and wold whisper to it* your still pretty.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:51:03 AM)
*nods*Oh,okay..Sorry,Im learning all this as I go...

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:52:10 AM)
*The ship is still quiet....but seems to be cheered somewhat just by having guests on her deck. Especially respectful guests such as these. Octavian smiles a bit* The key, really, is understanding that the rules don't usually apply. Go with your gut, your imagination. If something sounds like it means something...that's probably what it means.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:53:59 AM)
*slight nod of her head*Yeah,well what I think things mean trust me thats not what they mean*chuckles a bit*So,can you give us a tour of her,besides the deck we stand on*smiling*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:55:27 AM)
*He ponders a moment* The gundeck is absolutely trashed...I could take you up to the bridge, I suppose. Down to the quarters. I think I have a bottle of wine we could have.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 1:56:42 AM)
Im not forcing you to,just asking is all*slight shrug,lightly pats the railing*Show off what you've got isnt that right*yes she was talking to the ship*

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:56:44 AM)
* whisper flys around and starts to pick up parts of the ship, putting the peices in neat rows on the deck*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 1:58:46 AM)
*he watches the chimera (bat?), seeming rather moved by the critter's efforts. A smile creeps onto his features* Alright. I'll take you guys up to the conference room. View from up there is pretty nice. Coming? *he asks Nez and the creature*

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 1:58:52 AM)
(yes)

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 2:02:13 AM)
*nez seemed to be cncentrating, mubling and gesturing, objects too large for the bat to move started to move across the deck and falling in place with the other sorted objects*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:02:13 AM)
*he motions for them to follow, tromping up to a short set of stairs and in through a door, lighting a cigarette as he goes*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:02:43 AM)
*though, once in the door, he stops to watch the action out on the deck, smiling a bit*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:03:44 AM)
*she followed Oct but made sure Nez was following as well*He's a nice guy even if he looks all creepy*soft chuckle*

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 2:04:38 AM)
*nez didnt seem concerned about the tour, he was into what he was doing.. go go go gimix*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:05:37 AM)
I know better then to judge on appearance *he says, softly, rubbing metal fingers over one heavily scarred cheek. The room behind him is something like a small conference room, with seats around a table, navigation gear, maps and the like* Have a seat miss. I'm sure your friend will join us when he's done making my ship smile.

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 2:08:25 AM)
*nez would be out on the deck and when that was done he would follow whisper around, the two of them moving about, he was not quick casting so as to not use up glamour.*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:10:17 AM)
*she smiled at him,as she stepped through the door*Yes,well most dont seem to know that,and some dont seem to care*shrugs a bit,she watched his fingers move over his cheek*Oh,wow no one has ever called me miss..Faith is just fine thank you*smiling up at him,as she glanced around looking at hte odd navigation stuff but didnt ask at least not now anyway*At least she is happy..

Nezzar Lorkin (Jan 10, 2011 2:12:57 AM)

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:15:48 AM)
You are still here though,you still believe in her that should make her happy,not completely Im sure.

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:17:17 AM)
She is my responsibility. I take that very, very seriously. I will not leave her to rot. Call it an obligation to tradition. The captain goes down with the ship.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:22:28 AM)
*that made her smile a bit*Good tradition to uphold actually..I do not think for one second you would do such a thing to be honest,you dont really seem like the type..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:25:12 AM)
It's not so noble as it sounds. *he says, settling into a seat after digging a bottle of wine out of a cabinet, motioning with it to offer her a glass* I don't really have anything else.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:26:26 AM)
*she takes a seat as well,gives a slight shake of her head at his offer*No,thank you....Honestly,it is not matter what you think or say*shrugs*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:29:03 AM)
*he snickers, pouring himself wine and sipping it, glancing over to one wall* How new do you mean when you said you're new to this? *asked as he rises and pads over to something that looks like an old tv mounted in the wall*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:31:23 AM)
*hearing him say that made her frown and sigh a bit*So knew that Toothless aka Albel is my mentor,cause according to him "I dont know shit" *making the quotes with her fingers,as she watched him get up and walk over to a tv on the wall* Why? If Im being a pain I can just go?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:33:01 AM)
*he shakes his head a bit* No, just wondering. Are you learning all you need? *he flips open a panel on the tv, and starts fiddling with the gears and stuff inside*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:34:22 AM)
*she gives him a curious look*In a sense yes,but I honestly would like to know more about our Kith,cause I do not know awhole lot...And Toothless cant really help me with that*curiosity getting the better of her*What are you doing?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:35:54 AM)
*he gives the panel a solid thwack with his metal hand, and the screen glows softly. A moment later he flicks the panel closed, and asks* Everbright? Can you hear me? *then, to Faith* Trying to get this com panel fixed

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:37:53 AM)
Well dont smack it sheesh*frowns at him,then smiles when she hears him talk to the ship*Very cool...If you can hear him dont answer cause he just smacked you*soft chuckle*bad captain bad*said in a teasing manner*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:39:07 AM)
You're not familiar with Nocker construction, are you? *asked playfully, as a very soft, painfully sad sounding but beautifully pitched voice comes through the panel* Yes...captain.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:41:09 AM)
No,Im sorry,but I bet Melvin could help you out with that,or um I believe Eloise is a Nocker as well..*she instantly shut up when she heard the ship talk to him*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:44:34 AM)
*He looks...relieved..at the voice. Pausing, smiling, he says* Everbright, how are you feeling? *then, to Faith* No, no...I was explaining...Nocker tech is...well, I'm sure you'll learn. Sometimes you -have- to whack it. *After another long pause, the voice answers* Cognitive functions impared, estimate fifty-seven percent functionality. Hull damage sensors offline...thank you for coming home, captain. I do not...like...being alone in this...place.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:46:39 AM)
*she just nods her head as she listens to the ship talk him,not wishing to interrupt*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:47:28 AM)
*the screen flickers, and the voice drifts out again. Octavian is quiet* Hello, guest. I am Everbright.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:49:00 AM)
*she smiled*Hello,Iam Faith nice to meet you..And contrary to how you feel,you are still very beautiful..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:52:25 AM)
*another flicker* Thank you, miss Faith. It is kind of you to...say so. *a pause, then* Attempt to store guest recognition failed, captain. *Octavian frowns a bit, replies* I'll repair that before I sleep tonight, Everbright. Transfer guest recognition data to non-volitile backup memory for now. *and the screen flickers what might be an acknowlegement*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:54:40 AM)
*she gave Oct and the screen curious looks,before she said anything* Poor thing is sick,I wish I could help*said with a sadness to her voice*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:55:39 AM)
Fortunately...that I can fix myself. The damage to her cognitive machinery. It's the carpentry and such that's beyond me.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:57:04 AM)
Well,at least you can fix that...The other stuff Im sure there are people that can fix that as well*slight nod*didnt Melvin say he could fix her cannons?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:57:44 AM)
Oh...her cannon are far beyond fixing. I'll need to commission new ones...and I have no idea how I'll find the dross to pay for that.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 2:58:48 AM)
*she was silent a moment as she remembered Toothless talking about dross*Um,you have to pay in that? But,I thought that was like for indivudual people to have,not something you kept and paid with?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 2:59:10 AM)
Do you know what dross is, dear?

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 3:00:27 AM)
Well,sort of*rolled her eyes'*I really hate being stupid its totally annoying..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 3:02:11 AM)
Not stupid, Faith. inexperienced. Dross is solidified glamour. Balefires generate it, if untapped, and sometimes it forms in other places of strong emotion. It's used as currency among us because it has actual value for us, we can feed chimera with it, use it for our spells.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 3:04:03 AM)
Yeah,well that too is getting on my nerves to say the least*smirks,then sighs*Yeah,I remember him telling me its solid glamour and could be put into certain items,but the other*slight pause*I did not know the value part of it...

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 3:06:43 AM)
It's got value for the same reasons Gold has value. It's beautiful, and useful. It can be used to forge chimera, by Nockers mostly...and to fuel our magics and the like. But, like gold, it's value is judged more by usefulness to the parties then a fixed value. For the cannons, for example, I'd likely have to cover the amount of glamour expended in their forging as well as profit for the forger.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 3:13:45 AM)
*slight nod of her head*Oh,okay that makes sense then...And Im guessing that is alot to cover,yes?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 3:29:55 AM)
*He nods a bit, sipping his wine, taking a drag on his smoke* I know I'd charge something like twenty thee or twenty five measures of dross for a cannon like what I need.And that's with about fourty percent profit.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 3:31:50 AM)
Okay that sounds like a lot....And why is it all the male's in this town smoke seriously*slight shake of her head*Im not complianing about you,just merely saying..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 3:34:26 AM)
It's been a rough month *he says, tone lighter then it had been* I quit in college, started again when everything went down. I'll probably quit again if everything settles down. *a pause, then* Yeah, that's a lot. Considering I've got twelve to replace...

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 3:38:44 AM)
It's alright *he says with a laugh* And if you're willing to work, I'm willing to teach.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 3:42:25 AM)
Yeah,Im willing to work long as I dont get to dirty..Yeah,its a girl thing okay its a me thing but anyway...Long as it wont interfer with my real job when I find one that is*heavy sigh* Oh and if start to ramble to much just tell me to shut up...Oh,yeah and becareful around here its not exactly safe if you can find a different dock to well dock at it,might cost you more but it will be safer..And I dont mean from people like us either I mean from the you know normal kind*slight chuckle*Mundane,yeah thats what there called....Sheesh so many fancy words...

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 3:44:43 AM)
I'm not worried about anything mundane. I'll bring up the plank and they'll not be able to get aboard. And you could work for me. I need tour guides. If you think you could handle being dressed up like a sailor and walking kids through Everbright's clipper mask.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 3:47:01 AM)
Really?*smiling at him*I can do that long as the outfit isnt a short skirt Im good,you know the cheerleader type so not wearing that crap period...But,I dont know a darn thing about the boat,its a boat and it floats on water...Oh,look those are masts the long stick things..*laughs*Yup the extent of my knowledge....What the heck is a clipper mask?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 3:49:46 AM)
The mask is what I call the ship mortals see when they look at Everbright. It's a Baltimore Clipper, a kind of ship that was used in the eighteen hundreds. They were smallish, fast ships used for small but valuable cargoes and as speedy privateers. *A pause, then* Oh, no, you'd be dressed like a man. Or a boy, more likely, for you. I'd give you a script to follow, and answers for the usual questions too.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 3:53:16 AM)
Oh,that yeah okay got ya*suddenly feeling like a complete idiot* A boy*she about chocked on her words*Your kidding right,I have boobs and so do not look like a guy,boy or whatever*frowning a bit,then smiles*Could I give the outfit a girlie spin if thats okay? And good on the script till I have it memorized,you sure she wont mind though? Everbright that is? I dont want to intrude..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 3:55:48 AM)
Everbright enjoys the feeling of wonder the tours give people. Especially kids. It's how we feed her. *a pause as he flicks a glance over her, chuckling* Relax. We've had plenty of girls with bigger 'boobs' then you dressed as cabin boys and powder runners. The dads and old man history buffs -love- the chance to check girls out like that. All in fun.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 3:58:17 AM)
*nods her head*Oh,okay cool then *smiles then the smile fades as she looks down at her boobs*Hey *looking at him* you know what nevermind *chuckles a bit* And I bet they do,anyway Im game for the job when can I start?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 3:59:20 AM)
It'll be a bit before we get the Clipper fixed up enough to be safe. A week or two maybe. The damage to the Mask isn't as extensive.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:01:28 AM)
*nods*Okay,I can handle that..Maybe I can help fix stuff in the mean time..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:02:29 AM)
*he nods* Alright. Solid. Once we've got things settled down here, and I've had contractors out, i'll get the mortal paperwork settled.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:03:54 AM)
*smiles*Sweet,sounds like a plan..Oh,um do you have a piece of paper so I can write my number down?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:04:26 AM)
*he nods, fishing a notepad out of one of the drawers nearby and sliding it over to her, along with a pencil* Sure thing

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:06:18 AM)
*takes the offered not pad and pen,scribbles down her name and number handing them back to him*I respond to text's better..but if you call I will answer if I can..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:07:05 AM)
Text's are fine...I'm old fashioned so I'll likely send a text to arrange a face to face meeting rather then to communicate on it's own.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:08:21 AM)
*smiles*That works too...

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:09:03 AM)
Alright...anything else I need to worry about that i haven't been warned about?

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:10:14 AM)
Oh,your asking the wrong person about that..Sorry,Toothless or Nez be the ones to talk to about that...Oh wait or were you meaning about me?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:10:53 AM)
About you is fine..but even if you're new, I'd bet you hear things.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:12:09 AM)
Only what I have told you,oh and remember Toothless said to watch out for what did he call them*pausing* Chimera's? I think thats what he called them...Other than that,honestly I dont know..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:15:48 AM)
*he rubs at his cheek, metal fingers clicking and whirring* Yeah...I get this feeling I'm not going to sleep much. Everbright will wake me...but I'll probably sit up most of the night anyway.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:18:04 AM)
*watching him*Dont take this wrong okay,but do you need me to look at that bandage,you keep messing with it...I hate to agree with you on the sleeping part but,yeah you probably wont...*glances at his hand for some reason she didnt think to ask before*And once again not to sound rude but,how dows your hand work exactly? And can I touch it,okay that sounded gross but really wasnt suppose to be..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:19:17 AM)
*he slides towards her so she can peer at his arm or the bandage at her whim* It's a treasure. It runs on magical steam.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:22:55 AM)
*she looks at his arm first,not touching it at first either,then with both hands she moved a bit so she could* thats actually pretty cool*smiling as she glances up at him* does it hurt? *she was being gentle as she touched his hand moving his fingers,she was like a someone who had discovered something knew* neat *said softly*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:24:43 AM)
I designed it, made the metal. Our mechanic hard-forged it and enchanted it with it's magic. *a pause, then* When I'm out in the Real world...the arm hurts pretty constantly. But the more into the Dream I am, the less it hurts.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:27:31 AM)
Im impressed,how long did it take to make?*she lifted his arm up just a touch,then gentle lowered it*What happened? And can you still feel things with it like touch and stuff? Why does it hurt in the real world? *as she finally stop touching his arm,giving it back to him so to speak*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:29:47 AM)
A while. It was kinda like my final exam to graduate from my apprenticeship. Yeah, I can still feel with it..kinda. And as for what happened... *he shrugs* There was an accident a long time ago. My whole arm and part of my side is like my face. *absently motioning to the scars there...he sounds kinda embarrased, actually, more then anything else*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:32:50 AM)
How is that a final exam? And at least you can still feel with it even if not all the way*smiling at him*Yeah well some chicks dig scars didnt they ever tell you that*chuckling a bit*And dont be embrassed sheesh,its who you are *shrugs,as she stands up*Now then let me check this for you,I dont know a whole lot but I can do the basic stuff,so dont get mad if I hurt you cause I will just get mad right back at you*smiling a bit*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:33:40 AM)
(what kind of bandage is it?)

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:34:27 AM)
*he sits patiently as she looks him over, neither flinching away nore moving much at all. Under the bandage, which is pretty much gause and medical tape, is a pretty well healed wound, pretty much just scab and reddish skin now. *

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:39:58 AM)
*she carefully takes off the bandage,setting it on the table*You should let this air out,it will heal faster..Um,do you have like neosporin or something like that or can we even use stuff like that?*she did press around the wound trying to be gentle though cause the skin was red to see if anything came out,cause red usually meant infection at least it used to anyway*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:41:12 AM)
*It's clean, well healed..looks like the bandage was just irritating the skin, really.* Alright, miss Faith. And...no. I don't think. We cleaned out the first aid kits pretty well.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:45:44 AM)
Leave that off*points to the bandage*And dont call me Miss sheesh*smirks*.Oh,well I will pick you up some stuff tomorrow,so you can refill them*picking up the bandage*Where is the trash can?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:47:40 AM)
*he motions to a smallish trash can in the corner...even it is scorched* You deserve a modicum of respect, simply for your blood. It's never healthy to -expect- people will treat you as they should..but when they do, you should accept it gracefully.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:51:41 AM)
*she walked over to the trash can tossing the bandage in*Honestly,from what I have heard from all the others here *as she walked back to her seat retaking it*our kind as it were dont deserve the respect that is so called for..Respect is earned not given,no matter what one's blood says about you*slight shrug*..And I dont expect people to treat me anyway,never have...and i dont call you sir or mister*smiling at him*I should though your older than me my daddy would throttle me if he could hear me now*biting her bottom lip*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 4:52:14 AM)
At least I think your older than me?

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 4:55:23 AM)
Twenty....three. Not counting time in the Deep. *a pause, then* Regardless of how the locals are, you are still a noble. It's important to act like it, even if it's only for your self.I don't mean being bossy or expecting proper treatment...I mean keeping your word, sticking to your principles, and trying to do the right thing. I mean...*he sighs* Feel free to ignore me, I'm kinda traditional on that point. When I'm on the Everbright, I expect a little more, mind, but that's more from my mundane training then any birthright.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 5:00:02 AM)
Yep,your older*hearing him say that made her sigh softly*Um,I do keep my word and stick to my principals thank you very much*slight frown*and I do try to do the right thing,but honestly I have been trying to learn how to be what Iam first..*heavy sigh*Its okay,its how you are nothing wrong with that..Im not going to be someone Im not,just cause Im suppose to be a noble..If what Toothless said was correct the Nobles abonded the city,not very noble was it? Im thinking not,and tell me why is that Nobles look down on everyone else,they are no better*she pauses for a second*Im going to go,before I apparently say to much..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 5:03:15 AM)
Relax...you'll know if you get me mad. *he rises to see her off the ship however* And I agree with you on that point. If they really did leave the city to drown..well...I can't work up a lot of compassion for their fates. Part of our birthright is -service-, something far too many of us forget. The Indians called it 'Radjhadharma' The duty or destiny of kings.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 5:07:23 AM)
*she offered him a smile*Well that is good to know,remind me to not be around when your mad*smiling up at him* You know what I would like to do,I would like to show everyone that Nobles are not all they think,that we are not all like the others.That is what I would like to do,but I doubt I will ever get the chance*slight shrug*Its a nice thought though..It seems people forget alot these days,or just dont care..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 5:09:28 AM)
If you were to ask for my advice *he says, offering her his arm like..well..like some out-of-the-past nobleman* I'd tell you to simply live your life as you feel a noble should. Don't expect anyone to notice...but I would say -someone- will notice. Most importantly never betray yourself or your core principles.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 5:13:42 AM)
*she smiled at him and slipped her arm around his laying her other hand on his fore arm,obviously used to such things*And I shall listen to your words of wisdom Sir,let us hope someone eventually notice's if I live that long*smiling up at him once again*Trust in that I shall not betry myself or my principles,I happen to like the way Iam even if others do not..*giving his arm a gentle pat*If you need funds to fix Everbright let me know,at least I can help fix the mask part of her not sure about the other,Im sorry..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 5:15:41 AM)
*he escorts her slowly towards the ramp down to the dock* Insurance should cover those repairs...but I'll keep that in mind. I might find a Nocker willing to work for cash. Some will. Now, if you ever have a question, just ask me. I'll answer as well as I can...do you want me to call a cab for you?

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 5:17:20 AM)
*slight nod of her head,as she let him lead her off the boat*That is good..If you do let me know,I will help if I can.I will and thank you*small smile*No,silly I drove*points to the yellow VW bug*like totally a chick car isnt?*chuckling a bit*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 5:18:17 AM)
*he walks her right to the car, of course* I..can see it as that, sure. I'll probably be out tomorrow, should I look for you?

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 5:20:03 AM)
*she takes her keys out,of her pocket pressing the the key fob unlocking the car,as she sllipped her arm out of his*It is *smiles* If you want to sure,Im usually at Rooks..Oh,wait tomorrow I might be out and about trying to find a place to live,so calling me might be easier..

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 5:21:07 AM)
I'll do that if I don't see you. *He steps back a bit, then adds* If you need a place to stay, I have a cabin free, not to mention crew quarters.

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 5:23:05 AM)
*smiling up at him*Thank you,but Im rooming with Toothless at the moment..Scary guy but actually very nice*soft chuckle,opens the door to the bug gets in adjusting so her wings laid flat which was still uncomfortable,puts her seat belt on,looking up at him*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 5:23:46 AM)
Dreaming protect, miss Faith *he says with a bit of a bow, before turning and heading back towards the Everbright*

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 5:24:33 AM)
*she smiled at him,when he walked away she shut the door,started the car and drove off in the direction of the not so nice part of town*

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 10, 2011 5:24:44 AM)
(night! thanks for the scene)

Faith King (Jan 10, 2011 5:24:52 AM)
(ditto =-) night)
