Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:00:58 AM)
Got tea and juice...and some wine, I think? *said as he moves towards the cabinet where the tea and wine are stored*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:01:25 AM)
"I've been meaning to restock things." She frowned a bit. "I got distracted."
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:01:35 AM)
Tea might be good. *he nods.* How you doing Azu, healing up?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:02:36 AM)
Azu looked a lot better today compared to jsut a few before actually, pieces of the bruising on her arms were actually normal skin tone. Though her chest was still wrapped under her shirt and she still moved slowly. "Slowly but surely."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:02:42 AM)
*he waggles a hand* My job til I find a cook. *he settles back into his seat after pouring tea for Arion and handing it to the other man*
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:03:56 AM)
*He takes the tea and gives Octavian a salute with it.* What you need a cook for?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:04:08 AM)
"I haven't seen Mister Darby again, but last I knew he was still looking for you about that position." Azu commented. "But while I'm staying here it's the least I can do to get small things."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:06:43 AM)
*He pats the table* I'm still working on a crew. Azu tells me there's a cook looking for me though...so that's one check off my list.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:07:50 AM)
Ahh yeah crew, sounds exciting. Adventure on the high seas. *He laughs a bit*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:09:00 AM)
High seas and Deep dreaming both.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:09:28 AM)
"Well, both are enticing enough, I'm surprised you haven't gotten more volunteers to be honest with you."
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:10:04 AM)
What are you needing anyway. I could keep my ears open for who you might be looking for.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:11:20 AM)
Azu sipped at her tea, distracted it seems at the talk of adventuring. Mind elsewhere.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:11:30 AM)
I might have a cook, so there's that. I need sailors, mostly. I'll need a gunner's mate once I build cannon for her. A surgeon would be good.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:13:47 AM)
Hmm...*he taps his chin as he sits there.* Well if you go out soon let me know, I think my brother and I can help a bit and I might know someone who could work as a doctor if I can talk her into it.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:14:54 AM)
We're going out very soon, actually.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:15:18 AM)
Oh really? *he looked towards Octavian.* When is soon?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:15:28 AM)
She muttered something in a foreign tongue, which sounded a bit different from the ones Octavian usually hears her muttering in. And was still eyeing her tea otherwise, thoughtful.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:15:37 AM)
*he glances to Azu* She's the sponser of the trip.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:16:02 AM)
*A look over Azu and he smiles to her.* Oh...what you going out for?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:17:36 AM)
"Hmm? Oh Friday. For some metals and the like..." She commented, then frowned at Octavian's comment. "I thought we talked about it"
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:18:09 AM)
*He smirks a bit* What, you don't want credit?
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:19:29 AM)
*he glances between them as they talk and he chuckles a bit.* Did I hit a nerve...and I'd love to come and see how a real ship runs. Never done that before, and it sounds fun.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:19:48 AM)
She laughed then teased. "I think you just don't want blame if it goes poorly." Sticking her tongue out at him. "I've researched a bit more on the Timeless Market...and i believe either Nameless or Everbright should be able to find the rath to it."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:21:01 AM)
I'll take blame if shit goes south, even if you're the sponsor. *and, to Arion* You're welcome to come. I'm still writing the contract and oath of service, so until I've got that written, there's no obligation to stay if you want to help out.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:22:21 AM)
Well I think I should see how it goes before pen hit the paper. Might not be able to live with each other. *he laughs a bit more and finishes his tea.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:22:30 AM)
"I haven't been there in a long time...but I remember it really well." She commented thoughtfully, a bit distant again. "If it's anything like it was when I was there we should be able to find all manner of things for sale or trade."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:23:46 AM)
*he nods a bit* I trust Everbright...though I have to admit her memory was damaged...still is to some extent...so we can only hope she still remembers the location.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:24:19 AM)
What happened to your lovely ship? *he pats the side of the ship as he looks to Octavian.*

(This user has moved to OOC Room) (IP = 75.172.244.184)
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:24:40 AM)
"Well, only water like chimera can find the rath at all. So hopefully if she cannot then perhaps Nameless can."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:25:16 AM)
You haven't heard that story? *asked of Arion, then to Azu* I'll get to work on hr navigational cogitor tonight.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:25:58 AM)
Can't say that I have and if I have then I don't remember. *He chuckles.* I've been told I have a very bad memory.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:27:04 AM)
"I might be able to help." Perhaps a bit excited about working some.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:27:56 AM)
Quick summary then. We were attacked in the Deep Dream by a flock of dragons. Yes, a flock. Most were about the size of a large dog, but there was one bigger then Everbright herself. They came out of a storm, boarded us in the confusion...killed half my crew, and they seemed to know exactly what parts of Everbright to damage to knock us out of the sky.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:28:56 AM)
Got our cannons, her cogitor banks. Captain got ate whole. We dropped out of the Dream and into a storm...so her mortal mask got just as fucked up. Took us months to limp into port...here... *and, to Azu* Sure.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:29:56 AM)
She patted Everbright lightly as Octavian recanted the story and offered a bright smile at the 'sure'.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:30:07 AM)
Your ship flies? *he seems amazed at that.* Dragons wow....that sounds well horrible that you lost so many....I'm not good with wood, Im more of a blacksmith or I would offer to help.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:31:53 AM)
We're after metal to make armor for her hull. I'll need help for that. And, for the record, having a ship's blacksmith would mean I didn't have to pretend to be a blacksmith and carpenter and captain all at once.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:32:27 AM)
"I thought I was ship's carpenter." She chuckled returning to her tea.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:32:57 AM)
*he laughs and nods.* I had no idea a blacksmith would be needed on a ship, but yeah I need to keep up with my skill or I might just get rusty.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:33:40 AM)
She seemed to consider asking about blacksmithing, but glancing at her frail form decided against that one.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:34:34 AM)
I thought you didn't want to be crew? *asked of Azu, teasing, then to Arion* On a normal sailing ship, no. But Everbright is a steam powered airship. Everything from the props *pointing up at the chimerical propellors* to the steam feed system is metal.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:35:32 AM)
*Scratches his head as he seemed to notice all of it for the first time.* yeah I can see that. Sure I'll help where I can, I'm no Nocker mind you.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:35:35 AM)
"I think I'm more of a contractor." She chuckled, then listened to the descirption, looking around.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:36:28 AM)
Good description there Azu. *said with a nod and a grin before shifting his gaze back to Arion* That's cool. I'll take any help I can get, and offer wine and beer and pizza in return.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:37:00 AM)
Well can't pass up free pizza. *He grins.* I do love to eat.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:38:04 AM)
She chuckled and got up to refill glasses. Getting Octavians first, then Arions, before anything for herself.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:39:27 AM)
So mind if I tag along Friday? I think for sure my brother can come not sure about his girlfriend, but I'm pretty sure shes a healer....*he looks up as he tries to remember it.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:40:04 AM)
Thanks Azu. *said with his usual grin as he stretches out in his chair* yeah. The more the merrier. Everbright's normal crew is between twenty and thirty, so we've got plenty of room.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:40:25 AM)
cool, cool, when we thinking of leaving?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:41:30 AM)
She nodded politely, retaking her chair. "In the evening. A bit easier I think for Everbright to Vanish as less people will be out or able to see." (Time should be on the forums)
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:41:53 AM)
*nods* Sounds like a great plan.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:41:58 AM)
...Yeah...I'm having a shit-ton of trouble getting her cloak fixed.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:42:29 AM)
Maybe someone can call in a fog bank. *he gives a shrug*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:43:31 AM)
The ocean is -huge-. It'll only take us a litte bit to get out of sight. Depending on where the trod starts.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:44:14 AM)
"Well...not that I'll probably be able to do much, but I'm always interested in giving a look at things now that I've learned a bit more. I wouldn't mind trying to help." Oh, this eshu was much too excited by the thought of picking at mechanics, maybe she had nocker blood somewhere?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:46:18 AM)
There's a -lot- of damage down there.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:47:31 AM)
"All the more reason to use extra hands yes?"
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:49:49 AM)
*he nods and finishes the tea.* Well...I hope to see you both again soon, but I have to head off.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:50:08 AM)
Maybe. Everbright gets really sensative about people down there though. *and, to Arion* The Dreaming protects, duder.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:50:15 AM)
She smiled at Arion and nodded. "Dreaming protect Mister Arion."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:51:04 AM)
"Well, if the Everbright would rather I wasn't then I understand." Just like that, she nodded in acceptance of the reasoning.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:51:38 AM)
*He offers them both a wave as he heads off.* Night to you both and dreaming keep you safe.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:52:48 AM)
I still want your help though...so I'll probably set you up on the gundeck and have you work with the clockworks I bring out.
Arion Floca (Mar 10, 2011 12:52:55 AM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 75.182.105.242)
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:54:27 AM)
"Sure, I can't say I'll be fast at all but I'm defintely interested."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:54:50 AM)
I'm more concerned with perfection then speed.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:55:23 AM)
She nodded. "I'd rather get it right, or there's not much point in doing it."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:58:23 AM)
Exactly. Sounding more and more like Dougal.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 12:58:49 AM)
(afk a moment to get the kiddo a sandwich)
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 12:59:01 AM)
(kk)
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:00:33 AM)
(back)
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:00:58 AM)
(whee!)
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:01:00 AM)
She blushed a bit. "I'm not sure about that, seems logical to just think so."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:01:53 AM)
To a real Maker, yes it does.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:02:45 AM)
She shook her head and commented. "Perhaps I just have a good teacher."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:03:23 AM)
I'd like to meet this teacher. *he says with a nod and totally straight face*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:04:04 AM)
"I'm not sure you could handle it...he's got a bit of a big head sometimes." Sipping her tea, smiling a bit.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:05:27 AM)
Oh. Better I don't then, yeah. I'd hate to get into a fistfight with some dude.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:06:19 AM)
"Probably best, he has a mean right hook best I can guess."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:06:42 AM)
Interesting. *he says with a nod over the top of his teacup*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:07:07 AM)
She chuckled and shook her head.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:07:29 AM)
I'm incourigable, I know. *said with a snicker*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:08:01 AM)
"Yes, you even steal my words now. Very ungentleman like."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:08:50 AM)
Word theft is acceptable.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:10:01 AM)
"I'll have to look up other things that mean incorrigable." She commented. "I figure between the lanauages I know and the ones I'm studying I could get a few dozen."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:11:17 AM)
just drop in and out of the different languages.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:12:41 AM)
"I suppose there is that." She smiled still. "Speaking of which, did you wish to learn any of the languages I know, you've been a bit distant about things lately."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:14:03 AM)
...I've been distant?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:15:16 AM)
"Well, you're always a little bit so. Seems more so lately...but it could just be me I suppose. I figured you were angry at me still after the incident at Carnival."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:15:55 AM)
...No. I don't usually stay angry. It's not worth the energy. I've been...distracted, maybe, with planning.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:16:35 AM)
She nodded at that explination. "Well, the offer remains if you want to learn any of the languages I know. I can't really help much with the ones I'm still learning but I do have a lot of books on them as well."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:18:24 AM)
Once I've got less on my plate, I think. *he muses*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:18:55 AM)
"Pondering something in particular?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:19:40 AM)
Not really, no. Just the general oddities.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:19:57 AM)
"Well there are lots of those lately."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:21:56 AM)
Exactly. I'm trying to puzzle it out...and I suck at puzzles.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:22:40 AM)
"That reminds me...about Dee...she wears a eyepatch most of the time over her left eye (I think it's the left one) but it's been replaced by some chimerical or treasure device that lets her see things a few moments before they happen."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:23:06 AM)
*he grins a bit*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:23:21 AM)
She frowned. "How is that good?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:26:40 AM)
Do you have -any- idea how cliche that is, and how easy to exploit?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:27:32 AM)
"No and no." She looked confused. "She's suppose to have been rediculously powerful before she got it. According to Calvin she's worse now."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:30:12 AM)
I'm not worried. Well, not about a direct confrontation at least. If it comes to that, which I pray it doesn't.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:31:29 AM)
She nodded, perhaps a little concerned. "I hope not as well...but if they're kidnapping and torturing childlings. I'm not just willing to sit by and do nothing."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:31:55 AM)
She sounded angry by the end of that statement, pieces of her accent showing more readily.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:32:49 AM)
Obviiously. But I still don't think open conflict is the way to go about this.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:36:45 AM)
"No. Ah hope it dun come ta that...but depend on what Gordy tells us." She frowned and sighed, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, it just makes me so angry.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:38:18 AM)
It would infuriate me if I let it. If I didn't keep a tight reign on my emotions, I'd likely walk in their front door, weilding my anger like a weapon, and end up throwing myself onto a pyre of stupidity and righteous rage.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:40:33 AM)
"If I thought it would help more make a difference you'd have to beat me there." Her tea wasn't finished but she got up to get refills anyway, seeming to just want to be moving.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:42:33 AM)
more-or*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:43:01 AM)
*he rubs at his face, muttering* I'll add this to my plotting.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:45:48 AM)
She gets his refill first as usual, topping things off more before getting her own. Staying standing, looking out the window toward the city. "They'll probably figure out it was Mister Scott, Miss Rhys, and myself...we were careful but we were the only people from our area of the city that were there, the rest were all pretty loyal to Roy and Dee."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:47:07 AM)
It's not amatter of probably, Azu. It's a matter of asking a door, or the chair he was strapped to, or the floor...the carpet. Thr drapes. The chandelier.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:48:44 AM)
She nodded. "Yes, well, I shouldn't keep staying here. I don't want to put the Everbright or Miss Serendipity or you in danger when they come seeking retribution. I'm well enough now that I can get about easier on my own anyway."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:51:12 AM)
That's up to you. Just know that I probably won't resist if they come for you. Nor will I lie to them if they ask about where you've gone...so...
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:54:21 AM)
She was perhaps a bit surprised at that. "I'm not certain they would ask in a polite manner but you have to do what you must. Though with that in mind, I'll have to think about it."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:55:53 AM)
The eshuess glanced out the window again, seeming troubled more at the situation in general than anything.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 1:55:58 AM)
I'm in no position to resist, Azu. Doing so would do far more damage then i'm willing to inflict upon this battered city.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 1:59:25 AM)
"You have to do as you must Octavian. But with that in mind, I can't tell you anything I have in mind."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 2:02:33 AM)
That was exactly why I told you.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 2:05:09 AM)
She was staring out the window quietly still, seeming more disappointed than surprised now. She shook her head and went to washing out her cup.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 2:09:31 AM)
*he watches her for a moment, then shrugs and lights a cigar*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 2:12:04 AM)
She finished up and dried her hands off. "Dreaming Protect Captain Van Deraa. I imagine I'll see you on Friday." She headed out of the room, patting the Everbright's rail fondly and asking for her to lower the gangplank.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 10, 2011 2:15:12 AM)
*The plank is dropped, of course. Oct just watches her go, frowning absently*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 10, 2011 2:15:39 AM)
She nudges Nameless first and off she goes with him, the dragon perking and listening to whatever she had to say.
