| (That's some Amnesia shit, haha!) Brink snivels at her remark and pays attention carefully. "How do we get out of here when our "metal bird" is a hunk of junk? That's my question." He asks all pissy. -- Alan grabs his hand and continues walking. "I'm glad that you had someone to raise you in such a wonderful way. If not for Sparrow, you wouldn't be the kind and gentle young man that I admire." She smiles. "Do you think we are close?" |
MoLo28Jan 23, 2013 10:04 AM
| Nariel seems confused by his anger. "I...I guess you must fix it then?" Alexi gives Brink a sideways glance, then looks around carefully. "I don't think there's anything here we could use to fix the ship." "What would you require?" Nariel asks. "Perhaps I can point you in the right direction." Alexi starts listing off part names, but stops when Nariel shakes her head. "Right," she says. "You probably don't know what any of that is..." Alexi thinks for a moment. "There's a hole in our ship we need to patch, and we need some sturdy circular items and some shiny metals. Where can we get that?" Nariel thinks for a long moment. "There is a kind of vine that grows in the forest here that would work. As for the metal, you'd have to go into the desert to get that, but it's far too dangerous there." ----- Zaine almost blushes. "It's hard to say...I've never been in this desert before, so I don't really know." Zaine scans the area. "There's just a huge rock up ahead." He looks up. "And nothing...except a few birds in the sky." |
AnitoxJan 24, 2013 3:48 AM
| Brink returns her glance and continues to listen. "I hope the other two know that. Zaine being from the desert and all." -- Alan looks around. "Hmm. I'm sorry I'm not much help." |
MoLo28Jan 24, 2013 7:55 PM
| (Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBkwyaA2ScU ) --- "No kidding," Alexi says. "I'll try and contact them, get a fix on their position." She takes out a small circular object, about the size of a cracker, and pushes a few buttons. --- Zaine chuckles. "I wouldn't expect you to be. There's no desert on your planet, so it makes sense that you'd have no experience." |
AnitoxJan 25, 2013 4:26 AM
| "Has there ever been war on your planet Alan?" Zaine asks. |
AnitoxOct 7, 2012 3:09 AM
| "Good.We need to get to Kavarda a fast before the deal is off." Brink says impatiently. -- "You mean other than the ancient wars with Ea?" Alan says. (What was that?! Haha! I DONT WANNA F*** MEGAMAN! :p) |
MoLo28Jan 25, 2013 5:05 PM
| (That was lyrical genius and the best song ever. Lol.) --- Alexi swear under her breath. "Something's interfering with the CCD. I can get through to them, but they won't be able to hear me. The magnetic field or something must be throwing it off..." --- "Were your people directly involved in that though?" Zaine shook his head. "No, I meant between the people. No gods or goddess involved." |
AnitoxJan 26, 2013 3:58 AM
| (yeah, get out, haha) -- "Damn. Alright maybe we should change our plans and go find them and get out of here. Exploration, over!" Brink says with a "I'm finished" hand gesture. -- "Sure there has been conflict but no separation nor war. Though there has been talk." She looks to him curiously. "Why?" |
MoLo28Jan 26, 2013 3:00 PM
| Nariel nods. "I think that is best." "Yeah..." Alexi says. "Before we go..." "I cannot tell you what my mother meant." Nariel says. "I do not have the knowledge to decipher the meaning behind her words." Alexi looks at the big pod that houses Thandiel. "Let's go then." --- "I can tell." He nods. |
AnitoxJan 27, 2013 4:31 AM
| "Good. They shouldn't be too far." Brink replies. -- Alan still a bit fearful walks close by him. "How?" |
MoLo28Jan 28, 2013 12:06 PM
| Alexi and Brink start to make their way back towards the ship. She remains silent, lost in her own thoughts. ----- Zaine smiles weakly. "It's in how you react. Plus, I saw your planet." He sighs. "Fortune smiled upon your people. War is a terrible thing to be a part of." |
AnitoxJan 29, 2013 2:49 AM
| "I'm sorry if my anger embarrassed you." Brink sighs to break the silence. -- Alan sighs. "Do you remember war in your world?" |
MoLo28Jan 29, 2013 10:22 AM
| Alexi looks at him as they keep walking. "It's alright," she says distractedly. "Just control yourself a little better next time alright?" She says this half-heartedly. Silence. "Hey," Alexi says timidly. "What do you think Thandiel meant? About what she said. It's been bothering me..." ----- Zaine gives a harsh laugh. "Do I remember war? There was always war on my planet. It has been going on for as long as I can remember." The images from his dream come back to him as he thinks about Phanaphos, stopping his walk. "All I can remember is war and fighting. There's not much happiness in the memories I do have." |
AnitoxJan 30, 2013 4:02 AM
| "What, you mean about the dangers here?" He looks confused. -- "I am sorry to hear that." Alan says with a frown. |
MoLo28Jan 30, 2013 1:37 PM
| "Yeah. The dangers. Right. That's what I meant." Alexi stays silent, going back to her own thoughts. ----- Zaine shrugs. "It's alright." He smiles weakly. "It just makes the good memories all the more precious." |
AnitoxJan 30, 2013 2:24 PM
| Brink decides to keep quiet and leave her to her thoughts. -- Alan smiles with a glimmer in her eye that runs down her cheek. Suddenly her fear slips away from her. |
MoLo28Jan 31, 2013 10:55 AM
| After a while of walking silently, Alexi speaks. "What made you want to be in the military stud?" ----- Zaine pulls Alan closer to him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry." he says gently. |
AnitoxFeb 3, 2013 5:03 AM
| "My father and his father and so on were in the Military. It's in my blood." He smiles a half-smile. -- Alan smiles and wipes her tears away. "I'm just happy I got to be part of your memories." She gives a sad chuckle. |
MoLo28Feb 3, 2013 11:38 AM
| "Family tradition huh? Those are nice." Alexi thinks on that for a minute. "Didn't you want to do something else? Something less...I don't know, dangerous?" ------ Zaine brushes a tear off her cheek with his thumb. "I'm glad you are too." he says quietly. |
AnitoxFeb 4, 2013 4:13 AM
| "We-well yeah. It's kind of silly though. Heh." Brink ponders his predicament. -- Alan looks forward. "Uhm, where are we suppose to go again....?" |
MoLo28Feb 4, 2013 10:55 AM
| Alexi giggles at him. "Well stud, what did you want to do?" ----- Zaine follows her gaze. "I think it was this way...maybe?" He shrugs. "If we keep going forward in in the same direction, we'll get somewhere eventually." |
AnitoxFeb 5, 2013 3:04 AM
| Brink sighs. "To be honest, I always wanted to be an expeditionist. I wanted to explore uncharted planets and be caught up in adventure. But alas, I am just one of the military's dogs." He giggles a bit himself. -- "Okay, we better hurry!" Alan says as she follows. |
MoLo28Feb 5, 2013 12:51 PM
| (LOL! The irony!) "You should transfer to my field of work then." Alexi giggles again. "Hun, I think you're caught up in an adventure already, you just don't know it." ----- Zaine picks up the pace as they continue through the wasteland. |
AnitoxFeb 6, 2013 3:18 AM
| "Yeah, to be quite honest, I wouldn't mind not going back to Kavarda. But..." He sighs. "I'm just going to be this and I have to accept it." (Irony indeed lol) -- Alan follows. Keeping up very well. |
AnitoxFeb 6, 2013 12:24 PM
| Alexi looks at him out of the corner of her eye, watching his expression, as they walk. (He sounds defeated, or just worn out...) "I don't particularly like the way Kavarda is now. The people there have all changed, and the station has changed with them. They've turned it into s hideous place where geca is the only thing that matters." She shakes her head, then speaks with determination. "I can't just accept my position like you can. I'm going to change it. For the better." ----- Zaine thinks as he runs, taking in his surroundings. (I wonder if I could get a hunt in on this planet before we have to leave...I don't know anything about the local fauna though...) He smiles to himself. (Except that they are rather aggressive...) |
AnitoxFeb 6, 2013 12:31 PM
| "What do you want to do instead?" Brink asks. -- Alan still keeps up with him "Your really fast." she says a while panting a bit. |
MoLo28Feb 7, 2013 12:22 PM
| Alexi sighs. "It's complicated. Just know this: I am half doing what I've wanted to do, in a very roundabout way. There's just something I need to do first before I can really do it." ------ Zaine stops suddenly. A large shadow runs across the land. A quick glance upward shows it is from, what looks like a large bird. (I'm just gonna guess and say it's not friendly.) He looks at Alan. "Need a break?" |
AnitoxFeb 9, 2013 4:05 AM
| Brink nods in half-understanding. "Oh.." -- "I will take a break when I'm dead" She giggles. (Let's do this...) |
MoLo28Feb 9, 2013 12:52 PM
| "Sorry." Alexi says. "That was kind of cryptic, huh?" ----- Zaine looks up again. (If it's that big in the sky...then...) He closes one eye and does some measurements with his thumb. (That things is almost as big as the ship!) "Alan. Do what I do, and stay close." He goes into a low crouch, and starts moving slowly forward, stopping each time the shadow comes. |
AnitoxFeb 11, 2013 2:43 AM
| "Haha, no just a bit vague." Brink smiles feeling a bit better. -- Alan nods and follows him just as told. (Geez, that thing is...) |
MoLo28Feb 11, 2013 11:22 PM
| Alexi chuckles nervously. "Yeah, sorry about that." (Still can't can you Alexi?) She sighs. "We're almost back to the ship. Think Zaine and Alan went back yet, or are they still out exploring?" ----- Zaine stops behind a large rock. He motions for Alan to stay down, as he looks to the sky. (Where'd it--) The creatures wings create a whoosh, whoosh sound as it lands with a thump a mile from the rock Zaine and Alan are hiding behind. It's wings look like leather in the sun, its body covered in hard gray scales. Zaine notes that some of its scales are gone; torn out in battle. But it is the creature's head that draws his eye. The rest of it is a bird, but its head is that of a lion. It sniffs the air. Zaine sinks down, hidden from view. (What the hell is that? ... If it comes to a fight...) He glances at Alan, then nods to himself. |
AnitoxFeb 13, 2013 3:25 AM
| "I don't know. I guess we will find out." Brink shrugs. -- Alan looks in awe of the strange creature. (That is definitely not from Halloin..) |
MoLo28Feb 13, 2013 9:06 PM
| Alexi and Brink arrive back at the ship a few minutes later. Cyn and the rest of the crew have set up a perimeter around the ship, inside which is a pavilion camp. "Captain's back!" One of the crewman shouts as Alexi walks into the pavilion and to a table of crewmen. Cyn sits in the middle, pointing at a map laid out on the table. The map shows the immediate area around the crash site and what little they have explored. When she gets close, Cyn looks up in greeting. "How'd it go?" "We met some locals." Alexi says. She waves a hand and the other men at the table leave. "Some kind of humanoid plant species that live in pods. Brink'll tell ya about it. Zaine and Alan been back yet?" Cyn shakes his head. "Nope. Haven't heard from them on the coms either. There's something blocking the signal here." "Not just here. Out in the forest too." "Should we go search for them?" Cyn asks, though he is unconcerned. "In a minute. Let me look around the camp first." Alexi walks off leaving Cyn and Brink alone at the table. ----- The creature smells the air again, then turns its head towards the rock. Don't come over here. Zaine silently pleads in his head. The ground beneath them shakes a bit as the creature starts its short walk to the rock. (Of course.) The quiet sound of metal sliding across metal as Zaine unsheathes his onyx sword. He touches it to his forehead, then lowers the blade, ready for action. The creature stops in front of the rock, its breathing more quiet than Zaine would have thought. Zaine grips his sword a little tighter. (Just a bit more.) |
AnitoxFeb 14, 2013 7:30 AM
| "Charting out the area?" Brink looks over Cyns shoulder in hidden excitement. -- Alan almost grasps at her two pitchfork-like weapons. She tries steadying her breath as she does so. |
MoLo28Feb 16, 2013 8:17 PM
| Cyn shrugs. "Figured it be a good idea." He marks the newly drawn map and meaures a few distances before asking, "So, what were those plant things like? They tell you guys something?" ----- The creature's footsteps stop suddenly. (What--) Zaine's thoughts are cut off as the creature jumps and lands on the rock that they are hiding behind. It flaps its wings, the gusts of wind almost knocking Zaine backwards, and ascends into the sky with the rock in its claws. It flies for only a moment with the rock before flinging it across the sky. Zaine watches as the rock lands miles and miles away from where they are. The creature then starts to fly in a circle around them, like a vulture. (This is not good.) |
AnitoxFeb 17, 2013 5:04 AM
| "They had a leader that spoke through them and told us this place was very dangerous. So we should find Zane and Alan and try to vacate immediately." Brink replies. -- Alan looks at Zaine pleadingly "Uhm..?" |
MoLo28Feb 17, 2013 2:47 PM
| Cyn chuckles darkly. "Picked one hell of a planet to crash on then," he says mostly to himself. "How are we going to find them if we can't communicate with them? We could just send some people out the way they went, but they might just get lost or run into trouble themselves..." ----- Zaine watches it circle for a moment. He grabs Alan's hand and looks into her eyes. "We're going to run. But don't worry. I'll protect you." He takes one more look at the creature, then turns and starts running, pulling Alan behind him. The creature changes its flight pattern and follows them with ease. |
AnitoxFeb 22, 2013 5:04 AM
| "Yeah, me and Alexi already thought of that Pilot Nimrod." He rolls his eyes and walks away. -- Alan runs along side Zaine, gripping his hand tightly. "Z-Zaine!" |
MoLo28Feb 22, 2013 5:46 PM
| Cyn watches him walk off, angry. "Geez, what's his problem?" he mutters to himself. "I was just stating one of the freakin' options we have." He smiles then. ('Course I have no intention of looking for them. Nor do I particularly care.) "Cyn!" A crew member walk over with the Captain in tow. "The repairs are almost done, we just need a bit more time and materials." "Good," Cyn says. "Get on that then. And don't bother me unless there's a problem or it's finished." Alexi studies the map on the table with interest. "Good job Cyn. Everything seems to be in order." He nods. "At the rate we're going, we should be back up and running by tomorrow morning if we keep at it." "Alright then. Good." Pause. "It's too bad though..." Cyn shrugs. "We'll leave 'em something, don't worry. Gotta keep to the code after all." Alexi nods in approval. ----- Zaine imagines the creature smiling at them as they run, thinking about what it might be thinking of them. (Oh yes, look at how those tiny insects run! I think I'll just play with them for a while since I have nothing better to do with my li--) The creature leans into a dive, aiming straight in front of them. It lands with a harsh boom that shakes the ground, knocking Zaine off balance. It hovers over them, watching them. (If we move, we'll probably die. If we stay here, we'll probably die.) Now that its towering in front of them, Zaine gets a better look at the creature. Its feet are smooth, dull yellow, and end in talons that are practically as big as Zaine or Alan. The gray-brown scales that cover its body are easily as big as his hand, and appear to be very hard like stone. There are a few scales missing by its neck, and towards its underbelly, testaments stating it knows how to fight. Its wings are leathery and brown, making a faint swish shick sound as they fold. At certain spots, you can see the huge veins and bones when the light carries through the wings. Its lion head is covered in a dark brown-blue fur that ends in a point at its chest. On the crown of its head is an X-shaped scar. But it is the creature's big eyes that draw Zaine's attention. They watch him intently, curiously, as he stays there on the ground looking back. In its eyes, Zaine can see an immense wisdom, one that can only be gained through a long life. In its eyes, Zaine can see his own fear reflected back at him. It is what he does not see that keeps him to the ground. (This creature...He does not have a killing look in his eyes...) |
AnitoxFeb 23, 2013 4:14 AM
| Brink approaches "Captain, I believe we should go out and look for our two other companions." -- Alan immediately drops on the ground and lays her arm over her eyes. "Okay, I'm dead now, you can go away and eat other creatures. Have a good time." |
MoLo28Feb 24, 2013 10:40 PM
| Cyn smiles and walks away. Alexi watches him go for a second, then turns to Brink. "Right. As you said. But it'll be dangerous to be out on this planet at night." ----- Zaine stares into the creature's big eyes, transfixed. It bends down and sniffs him. Its breath like a light wind that sweeps through a valley, smells sweet. It glances at Alan, sniffs her, then returns to Zaine. "Alan." Zaine says quietly. "I don't think its going to attack us." |
AnitoxFeb 25, 2013 3:42 AM
| "Well, what's the plan then?" Brink asks. -- "It's because I'm "dead"." She whispers to Zaine. |
MoLo28Feb 28, 2013 4:00 PM
| "We can send out a few search parties in the direction they went," Alexi says. "If we don't find them by the time the ship repairs are complete..." She glances around at some of her men, who are pretending to have something to do but are really listening in on their conversation. "We'll leave without 'em." Some of the crew nod to this. ----- Zaine almost laughs, but stops himself. "No, I think its really not going to attack us." The creature watches both of them, listening to them speak. It lowers itself to the ground, making Zaine think of the chickens back home. Of course, they didn't have a lion's head, but still. |
AnitoxMar 1, 2013 3:31 AM
| "Are you f***ing kidding me? THE NEGOTIATION WILL NEVER WORK IF WE LEAVE THEIR HIGH PRIESTESS!!!" He yells. -- Alan lifts her arm slowly away from her face and looks puzzled. "W-Woah.." |
MoLo28Mar 1, 2013 5:23 PM
| Alexi shrugs. "It's not like we'd be leaving them completely stranded here," she says, her voice calm. "We'd leave them some supplies and one of the pods on the ship so they could catch up to us." She folds up the map on the table. "I wasn't planning on negotiations in the first place." ----- Zaine slowly moves into a crouch; the creature does not move so he cautiously stands. He takes a step back to look at the creature. It tilts its head to the side, watching him. "Well," Zaine says. "What do we do now? Even though it won't hurt us at the moment, I don't think it will just let us leave either..." The creature moves its head forward, directly above Alan, and sniffs the air. It shakes its head, like a dog would when wet, and turns its attention back to Zaine. |
AnitoxMar 6, 2013 3:19 AM
| "Your the ones who called me here." He shakes his head. "Fine. Whatever. I say we leave Cyn here." He walks away stubbornly. -- Alan giggles and holds her hand out to the creature. "You just wanna play hu?" She smiles now amused. |
MoLo28Mar 8, 2013 12:11 PM
| A few crew members walk over to the table, eager for orders. "Like I'd leave my second here." Alexi chuckles, amused by his frustration. "Perhaps we should leave him here, what do you think boys?" The gathered crew laugh at this, some nodding in agreement. ----- It sniffs her hand, the air brushing her hair back at it breaths out. (I still don't like this.) Zaine thinks to himself. The creature turns back to Zaine and nudges him with its nose, creating a wet spot on Zaine's shirt. He wipes off the front. (Gross...) |
AnitoxMar 9, 2013 4:38 AM
| Brink sighs. "What am I doing here?" -- Alan giggles again "He likes you!" |
MoLo28Mar 10, 2013 5:32 PM
| Alexi enters the ship to find Cyn "working" at on of the consoles on the bridge. "I see the games still work fine." He jumps at the sound of her voice, and quickly shuts it off. "You're pretty busy there aren't ya?" She comes over and leans against the chair he's sitting in. "Well," Cyn says. "I was busy." Silence. "Are we doing the right thing Cyn?" "What do you mean?" "I mean, do you think this would be what--" "I think we are." "Really? Lately, I'm just not sure." "Don't worry. Everything will work out fine if we just stick to the path we're on. We just gotta keep going and not look back." "I suppose." She sighs. "We should probably go look for them." Cyn nods. "I have an idea of where they are from us scouting the area, but it's not much." "They couldn't have gotten far. Unless they can fly or run amazingly fast." ----- Zaine gives her a doubtful look. "Right..." The creature stands up, towering over them, and lowers its right wing to the ground. (The heck is it--) After only a second, the creature pushes Zaine towards it with its other wing, carefully picks him up, and flings him up an backwards where he lands with a thump on the creature's back. It looks over its shoulder at him, then turns its head away when he stands up. "What the hell was that?!" The creature looks at Alan, shifting from foot to foot. It tilts its head in thought, then lowers its wing again. |
AnitoxMar 12, 2013 8:13 AM
| Brink is trying to get his ICD (Intergalactic Communication Device) to work but he has had no luck. "F***in' planet!" -- Alan nods in understanding. She immediately climbs up and sits with Zaine. |
