<> <> < (ARGH, have to AFK a sec) <> <> ( Unfortunately the Satalshe happen to be 200 ft. tall and one of them steps on us. ) <> <> (Bloody Vikings.) <> ( Slythin pirates? ) * Demetreia clutches the hull and looks out at the big wide water thing. Sea. Ocean. Whatever. (Grr. Sleythin. ) <> * Vera stands by the railing and smokes a Sleythien equivalent of a cigarette.. * Ian is up on deck, staring out to sea and tapping on the rail. * Rochelle is near Demetreia. She's looking out to the ocean, too. Not too surprising, as there's no 'net. Damn Sleythins. * Demetreia looks like she still hasn't quite decided whether or not to be afraid of the ocean yet, even after all of this time. <> * Fitzroy sits somewheres in the boat and twiddles both sets of thumbs. He doesn't have much to do w/o a computer. (We're so bored in this wacky prehistoric world.) * Leopoldo is doing the ocean looking thing. <> * Katherine has, uh, been sailing. She hasn't seemed that interested in the ocean, but, well, what else is there to do? She's not up top at the moment either. * Demetreia stares at the things that are making with the eating and being eaten and the whoa, dude. <> [Land!] <> * Rochelle looks over at the mountain. Ooooh. * Demetreia starts and stares. Eeep, land = battle. * Katherine wanders up from belowdecks and stretches her arms/legs as she wanders over to Roch/Deme/(others?) "Uhf, finally here, huh?" * Rochelle shrugs. "Guess so." I...I suppose? * Leopoldo looks. "... Land." * Rochelle grabs that ellipsis and beats Leo with it. Maybe not. * Ian sighs. "Ah, so much for relaxation." * Fitzroy becomes a bit more fidgety. * Demetreia becomes quite a bit more nervous. * Vera smokes. * Katherine smiles a little. Hopefully Sleythin-her doesn't look like she wants to eat a cow. "Well, the upside of that is that once this is over, if the dumbest genius in existance is right, might just get us out of this body jumping crap." * Leopoldo is beat down with holy Ellipsness... not really. (Sorry. Was had sort of a plumbing disaster.) I really hope so. (Ack.( I hope so, too...because at this rate, he's getting sent on it next. (Yeek.) (Eep. @_@) (And, I can't find a plunger or drain snake anywhere, so it's now a note taped to a door.) ( Seconded. ) * Threnody has been meditating, monk-like. Good thing you can't see him as a Sleythin either, because it must look awfully creepy. (Threnody hovers a foot off the boat.) (Om.) (Unfortunately, he doesn't move with the boat.) (THERE'S THAT COMMERCIAL AGAIN) * Katherine looks off at the land. "I'm more worried about the purple glow than any sleythin with a popgun." <> * Leopoldo nods. * Threnody opens one eye. "Purple glow?" * Rochelle blinks at Kat. (... it was purple, right, my memory's not total crap?) (It was.) (What was glowing? Who am I?) (Okay, yeah. Great Sleythin Hero mentioned that the enemy people were using some sort of magic purple glow weapon thing.) (Oh, that's right, you pinged out.) (And now I have to remember the Sleythin hero's name.) (Chezar'carl'ke) ( Sleythy the Sleythin. ) (...cheesecake.) * Katherine glances over at Thren then back at group. "Yeah. Chezarlke mentioned some sort of purple glow that the Satalshe were using, remember? Weird purple glows lead to the extradimensional aliens." ( Or proton cannons. ) (If they're proton cannons, I'm worried about the Sleythin again.) * Demetreia shivers. * Threnody closes the eye he opened. "I don't know that's a safe leap of logic to make. We'll see, I suppose." Yeah... * Katherine frowns and looks back to the mountains. "Well, if it's something less dangerous, I'll be in a good mood." * Ian sighs, and stares out over the railing. And if not... well, it had to happen eventually. *slightly feral smile* Piece of cake. * Vera smokes. Check it out. <> ( Grinning in anger? O.o ) (That's how Sleythin expressions work. c.c;) * Leopoldo is, well, yeah. Himself. * Fitzroy fidgets, "Let's hope we can find the source of this purple crap quickly. I'm not looking forward to this battle." * Rochelle wanders over to get her gun. Watch out. She's got one. (Sleythin don't smile like humans, they bare their teeth more like chimpanzees. It's an anger display.) * Ian stands up and stretches, then grabs his gear. * Katherine goes to pick up her gun and satchel as well. (FF okay?) (Yes.) (Sure.) (Sure thing.) <> <> (Satalshe the FLAME thrower!) <> * Threnody frowns as he watches, not carrying a gun but in fact carrying a bloody huge version of Ivy's snake sword, really. "That's... odd." (Satalshe is really a big robot who will get up out of the ground any second now and start shooting purple laz0rs!) * Ian frowns. "Very." Like any of this isn't? * Katherine clutches her gun and mutters to herself. * Demetreia clutches her gun wrong-way 'round and just looks scared. * Threnody narrows his eyes, trying to get a better look. "I'm not exactly versed in military tactics... but this feels like an ambush to me." * Rochelle looks over them. * Ian nods. "Something's not right." ( Don't worry, I have a counter tactic ) * Fitzroy nods "They seem to be ready for us, at least." Yeah... ( We'll burn their supply depot! ) (Brilliant!) (With a sneak attack!) ( Don't tell me, you're going to...damn it. ) ( Yes, well, don't expect Deme to dance like flowers around anyone. :P ) <> (Ah. "Satalshe" must be the Sleythin term for "Sun Quan".) ...eep. (Ha.) (*snrk*) < (+>>) (Don't be silly, Cham. You make shields with Blacksmithing, not Leatherworking.) * Katherine sighs and waits. <> (Yet.) (Shhh.) * Vera stops with the smokin' <> <> * Threnody watches, saying, in an almost sulky tone, "I don't want to do this." We've got to get this over with... Awww, crap. <> It's almost over, anyway. * Rochelle goes with her group when they go! (Lalala, must find some way to do this without killing anybody...) * Leopoldo goes with his group when it's go time! * Ian does likewise! * Katherine glances over at Roch, then advances as the gun crews do as well. <> * Fitzroy gets going! * Vera also does the group-going-with... thing. * Demetreia follows everyone. * Leopoldo is STRONG! WHOO! * Threnody goes and doesn't look at all happy about it, though that might also be the immense freaking sword he's lugging around. <> * Rochelle splashes! And swims? She goes with the flow. The Sleythin flow. * Ian swims! * Demetreia copies people, hoping to achieve flotation. * Leopoldo goes withthe flow. You down with that, yo? * Vera swims too, as best she can with four arms. * Fitzroy pipes up, "We should go after one of the purple ones. They seem to be leaders anyway." (Don't eat the green ones. They're not ripe yet.) <> * Threnody is just *frowny*. "Something isn't right here." <> (Are we close enough to _shoot_ at any purples?) Other than the warping? (Unless you did some training with the guns, how the hell would you know?) ( You mean smiley, apparently. ) ( Wow, I hate my lag. ) * Demetreia is shaking like a big four-legged leaf. "Y-Yeah, I-I'd say so." * Leopoldo really doesn't seem too happy with what's going on around. Fighting's never been something he's liked. * Katherine raises her gun towards the purple thing. "Well, here's to hoping." * Demetreia tonguelficks. "Yes." * Ian has already prepared his gun, and begins aiming as well. "Here goes..." * Leopoldo raises his gun. "Yeah, let's hope this works..." * Katherine starts walking... and fires! * Ian fires on the Sleythinjesus. (What? It has a halo, for crying out loud.) * Demetreia gulps and raises her gun, noticing at the last second tht everyone else's is positioned the right way, and quickly turns it right-way 'round. But doesn't fire yet. * Rochelle preps her gun. She doesn't fire just yet. * Vera readies her weapon. <> (Yay! Homeward bound! Or kinda homeward.) (Dunnomeward.) ( Mars opens a giant mouth full of pointy teeth and eats you! ) <> * Rochelle looks around, then checks her reflection first chance she gets. * Vera blinks a few times and looks down at her hands. * Leopoldo rubs his head and checks out his hands. * Ian leans heavily against the wall, and stares at the surroundings. <> * Demetreia sits up in mild shock, still shaking a little. ( Er. Doesn't sit up, then. ) * Katherine blinks a few times and reaches her hands up to check her ears as she looks to catch a reflection, and then looks to see a Vernon. (GET HIM.) * Threnody just sits there, blinking. "...that was it? All she had to do was fire at a single Sleythin?" (KILL HIM!) * Fitzroy is a bit suprised. "huh? Mars?" <> * Ian smiles a smile that would be calm, if it weren't twitching all over the map. "Ah, Vernon." * Katherine gets an angry look in her eyes and says in a loud angry tone, "You look like shit, Vernon." <> * Rochelle watches him pass out. "I might feel bad shooting him now." Only a little, Roch. Only a little. * Rochelle shrugs. Geeze, about damn time. * Katherine snorts and looks around again. "So, is it Ron or Ronnie here?" * Demetreia just makes a little meeping noise. * Fitzroy pats himself down looking for his comp and plugs in when he finds it. * Demetreia 's meeping noise still manages to sound like a system error beep. Old habits are hard to break. * Fitzroy hmms, "From what I can tell so far, this seems to be the right place." The info on my computer looks right, at least. <> * Vera rubs her eyes. "Good." * Katherine sighs and rubs her face before saying at Ronnie. "So, lover, what's the final 'disappeared from existance' total?" * Threnody breathes out and flops backward onto the... whatever they appeared on. Yeah, how many months of my life have you wasted altogether? <> "Six months, two weeks, one day, ten hours and twelve minutes." She looks rather guilty.>> * Demetreia goes all creepy-eyed again. o_o ... Well, fuck. ...we're going to need some time to get caught up, here. Wonder if I still have my job. * Katherine swallows before chuckling slightly, weakly. "Well, tell I didn't age too much and it won't be a total loss." * Threnody says, without sitting up, "Worse things have happened." Not to me. <> "You'll get your catching up, and your time. Come on, we've got food waiting." * Rochelle nods. She follows along, because food. * Ian sighs, and follows. "Thanks." * Fitzroy follows, "Food is good.. I don't even want to think about my inbox." * Vera follows. * Demetreia remains creepy-eyed. o_o ( You have 4952 new messages! ) Yeah... I could us-. Deme, coming? * Rochelle walks back, grabs Deme by the arm, and pulls her along if she comes with. ( Sadly, 4800 is spam ;_; ) (Would you guys be okay with a cut here? It latens and I'm not sure I can remain too coherent.) * Katherine chuckles as they drag Deme along, then looks over at Thren lying back and runs her hand through her hair. "You comin' too, Thren?" (Sure. ^_^) * Threnody stretches, gets up, and follows. (Yeah.) ( Sure ) (Okay, I'm fine.) * Leopoldo goes off to get FOOD. LIZARD EET. * Demetreia is dragged along (she's heavier than she looks). <>
