Airship Rising Dawn - The Canteen

Angelus | Cadolbolg | Puce | Ton Ton

Angelus looked around, and then whispered back at Puce, [small]"If what that bard says is true, then... Apparently, Furiae has been brought back as a human. However, she lies in Inuart's hands. Naturally, Caim is confused about what to do. On one hand, he wants to rescue his sister, but at the other, we have to deal with Tomoya; as he threatens the fate of this very world... His want to prioritize isn't working very well..."[/small]

After saying this, David's order cut through the air, and Angelus sighed, and gave her food one last savored bite before cleaning up and getting ready to go; Ton Ton and Cadolbolg following behind her.

[hr]
Airship Rising Dawn - Network:
A.I. Vermilion | Dmitri

Dimitri looked at the simulation with curiosity, and found it to be... Not lacking at all. To go into detail about what the Butler AI saw would be crude even in summary, save for the fact that it caused the AI to turn about as red as his companion's glow. With a hand covering a mouth, Dimitri could only squeek as he continued watching the simulation in question, and stammer, [color=3897E0]

Code:

"M-m-m-m-ms Vermilion! This is so.. So! I can't put my finger on the right word... Why are you showing me this?! I-"

[/color]

Whatever he had to say was lost, as they were lost in another stream of mumbled words and embarrassed facial expressions.

Caim, Melethia

Caim laughed, shaking his head as he did so,

Code:

"You've no idea kid..."

Now, as nice of a distraction as practicing and cleaning various pieces of weaponry and armor was, that reverie was quickly cut away when David's annoucment went out, and the mute's face slipped back into his battle ready expression,

Code:

"...So much for that. Well, keep practicing with that kid, you might be able to figure something out."

He wandered over to his armor, inspected it and gave the girl a satisfied nod before setting to re-equipping himself. After doing so, he waited quietly for the child to follow after him to the bridge...

Jenny | Teri

Teri shook her head as they walked, [color=0E59E4]

Code:

"You couldn't have known. You barely even know who I am."

[/color]

The Gardevior felt a wave of several different emotions wash over her after the Cleric said that; a mixture between reassurance, melancholy, want, longing, and... Guilt? Why would this girl feel guilty? Whatever it was, Jenny could already tell that the girl had thrown up several walls in her own mind, as if she was afraid that Jenny was going to attempt another probe any second. It was a little saddening to see such distrust against her, but Jenny took this as a quirk from what the Cleric said earlier. Anyone else would do the same after such an experience. Despite this, her new acquaintance maintained a friendly demeanor with Jenny, something she could also see was genuine, so Jenny did not feel a need to focus so much on the negative when it came to this new person.

Caim, Melethia

She put the blades back in the pouch and went right by the man's side, following him to the bridge cheerfully. Even though there wasn't much of a way for her to do that attack, she had seen a man that toook care of his weapons quite well. If only he did the same with his armor...

"So, we're gonna go on that next step, Mister Kensai?" The odd name could easily draw a raised eyebrow from a good number of people.

Tajuh | Rugal

He nodded before bringing up another valid point. "Think about this. Dark Tomoya knows we're on our way, and he knows we've got a large incentive to infiltrate. If I were him, I'd make the entry seem difficult, but have the real attack force further in when the Rising Dawn crew starts spreading their forces out. Also keep in mind the relatively unusual appearance of some of our crew. They won't be able to head in. No, for that plan, we'd need someone that looks completely ordinary, like David West. His inability to hold his tongue will prove troublesome, but you know as well as I do that you work with what you have."

Kalastryn · Feb 5, 2013

Diablo1099 said:
"Attention all crew members, West here, due to a....uh..."Breakdown" in communications, The Rising Dawn not allowed within DC Airspace. As a result, we'll have to land outside the city and work our way in on foot. Prepare for landing, West out.

fucking midget asshole..."

hearing the intercom blare less than 5 minutes after she got to sleep, Kalastryn gets out of bed with a few grunts in protest. "Sheesh, I've heard of the phrase "never a dull moment" but this is ridiculous!" she says as she looks in the mirror as she passes it, trying out a recently learned invisibility spell... to great effect. she started wandering the halls of the airship and came past Tajuh's quarters hearing the last bit of Rugal and Tajuh's discussion, she walks inside the room and dispels her invisibility and appearing before the two before saying.

"Well I admit stealth is stealth, but how about we move from the more traditional methods to total invisibility?" she says with an almost mischievous grin. "With me around, you could just say the word and vanish from sight! You'd still have to be quiet though, it makes people blind to you, not deaf... still, if we take our time and move silently, we should be able to infiltrate with both minimal combat, and detection period."
... It wasn't a miraculous gate storming tactic... but it would get them through the area in one piece... Rugal had to admit it was a good offer.

bluecrimson · Feb 5, 2013

Rugal, Kalastryn, Tajuh

Tajuh turned to the Tiefling. "Your plan has merits, but there are a few things I need to know before implementing this into the plans. One, duration of the spell. Two, nature of the invisibility. Three, the sound issue. Four, the issue of closed doors and opening them under surveillance." This could be a valuable tool, but he wanted to know the nature of what he was dealing with.

Kalastryn · Feb 5, 2013

bluecrimson said:

"Very specific aren't you Tajuh? Well, the answers to such questions are... complex. The invisibility itself makes you invisible to normal sight and recordings and hides clothing, weaponry ETC. I could guarantee maybe an hour for a small group, half that for maybe 20 people... but I intend to follow close by and refresh the spell as necessary. As for the sound issue, it won't hide sound, but it won't magnify the volume at all either, so just move as you normally would if you were trying to avoid notice, so step lightly and keep your mouth shut. As for the issue of opening and closing the doors, I'd disable cameras before opening doors, and as for any armed guards, we may have to get a little creative. Actually, I could raise their body temperature until they collapse from heat exhaustion. It would be a slower process than incinerating them, but much less noisy and... lethal... to people who are just doing their jobs." she says, seeming to have more morals than the average tiefling does. "Other than that, this plan has enough merits to be worth the risk don't you think?"

It was pretty well thought out, but after all that explaining, she finally asks "If you spot any flaws, speak now, better we sort out the issues here rather than on the ground right?"

Sgt_Jakeman214 · Feb 5, 2013

Jake made his way to the bridge when the announcement went off. He wouldn't be departing the ship this time, he would stay aboard and direct fire and sortie in his fighter if need be. As far as he was concerned, destroying Tomoya was his objective, not saving the city. They could only distract the bastard Dark Angel and that was the city's only real hope of safety.

Reaching the bridge, he approached the main console row and the captain's seat. By the captain's seat, he noticed the full user manual of the ship sitting there, from long ago when Rugal had demanded it. He grabbed the mammoth tome and set in down upon the planning bench. Figuring that as the ship was designed by the Author Orinon and refined by Puce, the manual should be at least easy to read...

The index page was 50 pages long.

"Fuck. Well, it doesn't look too much different from the cockpit of the Hercules... Nor the bridge of a normal ship. Puce really modernized the old girl..."

Jake moved from station to station, slowly getting a feel for the ship's controls, little things standing out. Like how he would need a AI to do everything or a Bridge crew of 5 at the least, Pilot/Helmsman, Navigator, Communications, Gunner, Engineer and the Captain himself.

Caim, Melethia

The swordsman's confusion was readily apparent when Melethia referred to him by 'Master Kensei',

Code:

"Caim. My name is Caim. As for the 'next step' that you're talking about, if it's to do with that thing I tried to teach you with the swords, I'm afraid that's going to have to wait till we get back on ship. From the sound of things, we're going down to this DC place because the nation we're going into doesn't really trust us. Not the first time it's happened, but it's irritating anyways. But, with the way I've seen you handle the dummies, I don't think there's anything you really need to worry your head over."

bluecrimson · Feb 5, 2013

Rugal, Tajuh, Kalastryn

He cleared his throat. "There is one issue with this: You are the only member of the crew as far as I know that can do this. This is not to disparage your skills at all when I say that I can't implement this fully, but the fact that there is no way to back this up means that we're forced into one group for this. You're taken down and there's a whole group that may be in a very nasty position. I can not sanely advise that path for a plan because of that major flaw."

Rugal scowled at the second in command, more so for pointing out the flaw than any real anger at the man. "However, keep it in reserve. It's still a very useful tool, and its prudent use could be a tide turner. Just be warned that some systems detect body heat, so keep that in mind should you have to use that spell."Caim, Melethia

Melethia nods. "Okay, Mister Caim! I dunno if it's how your blades are made, but we'll find that out when we get back from beating the hell outta those kinslayers. I'll try ta keep pace with ya, but that stuff in there was really amazing!" She looked at him in admiration. Sure, he couldn't speak all too well, but he didn't need to with the way he handled his blades both in and out of a fight.

bluerocker · Feb 5, 2013

Caim, Melethia

Upon hearing the lavish praise, the warrior allowed himself a moment of indulgence, and allowed the child's awe to color him amused. A dark grin took over for a moment, but Caim's cocky smirk faded quickly when he saw the way Melethia looked at him. Forcing himself to look ahead towards the bridge; his tone becoming flat as his PDA spoke for him, he said,

Code:

"What matters is surviving out there. Everything we do with these blades, is to make sure our enemies don't do the same to us."

The shift in mood was painfully obvious, even to the child. Then again, Caim was always one to wear his heart on his sleeve.

bluecrimson · Feb 5, 2013

Caim, Melethia

She sees the shift in the man's attitude and looked at him with concern. "Mister Caim, what did I say? Did I make you mad?" She kept looking at him, hoping for an answer.

"I wasn't saying your weapons were bad... what was it that I said?"

Kyre | Mark

The Anti-Mage turned to Mark and gave him a disapproving look. Her green eyes flickered in the light, regardless of how consistent the illumination actually was. Then Kyre forced herself to smile innocently, the way that hurt both her heart and soul. "Hello friend Mark," she said softly, as if her throat was hurt. Which by all means it might have been, the girl was quite dehydrated. However, her posture and radiant skin seemed to prove that point silly.

Kyre turned away from Mark after acknowledging him and stared longingly at Kurumu. Why was it that the one thing she wanted could not be plucked, even when it was so close in reach? That thought, longing, lust, and avaraice tainted her thoughts and feelings. Kyre forced another few words out of her mouth without concealing her clear annoyance at the presence of the ethereal being, "Is there something I can do for you, Mark?"

bluecrimson · Feb 5, 2013

Rugal, Tajuh, Kalastryn

After the alert sounded, he grabbed a few sets of attack plans and made his way to the bridge with Kalastryn and Rugal.

Airship Rising Dawn - The Canteen
Devon | Ella

Devon shook his head. "Don't let anyone tell me any different, huh? Ella, you're more than just some succubus. If you want to talk about it, there was that period of time after we got out of hell where you could have done whatever it is that Succubi do to me. Yet you didn't. If nothing else, Ella, you have to promise me that you'll come back."

Slindis

After she managed to repair her outfit, Slindis made her way to the bridge in the outfit. Anyone there would find it unusual that she wasn't wearing armor at all considering what she usually wore.

Code:

"Ms. Vermilion, I think the last thing you'd need to worry about would be my interests straying... You are a perfect companion in every possible iteration I can think of; except for when you test my birth home for cracks in security. Then you are terrifying!"

[/color]

He gave a bashful smile at his terrible joke, and continued, edging himself a little closer to Vermilion, [color=3897E0]

Code:

"Now, before I have to leave... And forgive me if this is [u]far[/u] too forward, but perhaps you could show me again that, erm, protocol you were trying to share with me a moment ago? It did not seem entirely unpleasant in nature..."

[/color]

Caim | Melethia

As the two edged closer and closer to the bridge, Caim kept a stone face, despite Melethia's attempts to 'calm him down'. The swordsman only shook his head,

Code:

"I already told you. I'm not angry at you. Now please, drop this..."

Airship Rising Dawn - The Bridge

Aftan | Akane | Gabrielle | Jake
"And when did I say I was worthless there? I know I am a skills based person, and I have the wrong skillset to be on the ground fulltime. I have the option to provide support to our heavy hitters from here. I think that's a better use of me than trying to kill down there, when I have the least experience not counting Teri, and she's had a lot more training than I."

Jake didn't get angry, in fact he said all that even as he returned to reading the manual. Skim reading it he was make decent headway, though it was a lot to take in at once.

Airship Rising Dawn - The Bridge
Angelus | Cadobolg | Kurumu | Puce | Ton Ton

"Are you okay, Angie?"

Angelus looked about for a moment, and then shook her head slowly, her arms clutching her sides as she spoke, "I will be frank with you Kurumu. A pact, especially when your pact partner becomes someone you care for as more than in the 'if I die, you do as well' sense, is exceptionally intense when your pact partner is experiencing a particularly strong emotion."

There was a small shudder from the dragon, but she continued, "My words cannot properly convey the depth of what plagues Caim's heart at this very moment. Instead of anger or hatred, which is normal for him, I feel fear and loss claw at his thoughts. He does not know what to do, where to go, what step to take. But that is not the worse of it. No, with her being alive again; the strongest thing that tears at him is the guilt. The regret of not showing her he cared for her life; the sorrow of not being able to prevent her suicide; and the contrition of having to kill her a second time when she was reborn."

Her head shook again, her hands balling at the fabric of her sleeves, "All these things sound so simple with words, but to actually feel them.... It is suffocating and there is nothing I can do to soften the blow! I was instrument in this; and gods knows I want to just take him, fly straight to wherever she is and whisk her from Inuart's grasp! But, alas, we cannot! We know not where she is; and no ideas as to what is happening to her right at this moment! I know just as little as to where to proceed as he does! I-.... I want to make this better. I want to so badly, but I do not know where to begin."

At the end of her rant, the red-eyed woman looked to the floor, looking just as deflated as her partner did moments ago. Speaking of the devil himself, the little group could see Caim and Melethia walking in from another corridor, the man in question having a steely looking to his eyes as he approached the bridge.

[hr]

Jenny | Teri

When Teri and Jenny approached the bridge, Teri could see out of the corner of her eyes a towering flash of red; and felt anger grip her heart. Pulling out her tablet, she called very calmly, using her mental link to the Tablet, [color=0E59E4]"Dimitri. I need you for something..."[/color]

Airship Rising Dawn - Network:
A.I. Vermilion | Dmitri

As the wonderful sensation of a kiss took its natural ending path, Dimitri opened his eyes again; happily processing the moment that had just passed between the two. Staring straight into the eyes of his counterpart, Dimitri cupped the side of Vermilion's face with the greatest of care, almost as if she were to break if he did anything else.

However, as expected, the moment could not last forever, as Dimitri could already see his Mistress' summons appear.

[color=3897E0]

Code:

"Duty calls, Demeter. I shall return as soon as I reasonably can...."

[/color]

A reluctant hand left it's resting place as the Butler found himself back in his portable apparatus. Looking upwards to the feed, he could already see the emotions snaking their way into his Mistress' heart, and gave a small sigh,

[color=3897E0]

Code:

"Yes, Madam?"

[/color]

[color=0E59E4]"I need your help in writing and delivering a letter..."[/color]

The AI couldn't help but balk that he had been summoned away for such a task; especially given what he had himself embroiled in a moment ago, [color=3897E0]

Code:

"A letter?! You need my assistance in word processing?"

[/color]

[color=0E59E4]"Hardly, Dimitri. What I need your aid in lies in some technical issues..."[/color]

The Butler lit up at this point, and wondered what exactly it was that his Mistress desired....

Airship Rising Dawn - The Bridge

Slindis

She went over to her student wearing the same outfit she had been wearing when she was in her student's mind and walked over to Teri. [color=c20000]"I assume you've gotten the rest that you need?"[/color]

Caim | Melethia

She shook her head. "Mister Caim, why do ya keep lying? Somethin's bothering ya, and anyone can see it. Why are ya hiding it, then?" The kid didn't seem to want to drop the subject despite hints to stop.

Devon

He had held the embrace for a good amount of time before Ella flew off, leaving him to walk to the bridge mainly by himself. "Ella, just have some faith in me. It's all I really ask, and I've just got a good feeling about you."

Tajuh | Rugal | Kalastryn

He looked at the large group of people as he entered and cleared his throat. "Good to see that you're all here. Now, let's begin talking about how we're going to defy this deathtrap that's been set."

Diablo1099_v1legacy · Feb 5, 2013

Rugal

Rugal listened keenly to Kalastryn's idea of pure invisibility, While Tajuh had brought up some good points that prevented his judgement from having her go ahead fully with the plan.
"Mmmm...as appealing as the idea is, I'll have to go with Tajuh on this one. Still, keep a spell ready whenever you can. At the very least, it'd be a useful getaway tactic. As for you idea of making guards pass out, I'll keep that in mind but get the go ahead from one of the more senior members first, Don't want someone to end up discovering a knocked out body and then raise the alarm. I mean, Heat Stroke in January?"

Jenny

Jenny was confused by the VAST range of emotions flowing though Teri, especially as she typed up some kind of message on her tablet.
Still, she knew not to press where she wasn't invited.
"Still, I feel compelled to apologize. Now then, best find the others. If Tomoya intends to make DC anything like New York then there is no time to waste." He said as the pair went to regroup with the others.

David
[HEADING=2]Ship be landing now![/HEADING]

As the drew got ready to move out, David watched as the AI's put down the ship a few miles outside the city, will out of range of Gen. Pint's AA guns.

"Attention everyone, we have landed, time to move out!" He said over the intercom before grabbing his M500 handgun and went to get off the ship.

"Yes! I look forward to seeing your support on the battlefield. We should get going now."

"Yep. Good Hunting girls. Come home safe and sound." Jake said, giving Akane a hug, Gabrielle a pat on the sleeping head and after a moment of hesitation, a quick hug for Aftan.
"Keep her safe please" he whispered before letting go quickly.

He turned and walked back to the main console, standing behind it. "G'day Miss Vermillion. The question is not what you can do to help me, but what I can do to help you run this ship. We are the support, I'll follow your lead and try to lesson your workload."

A.I. Vermilion | Jake
Jake sat in the Captain's chair, Vermillion bringing up the ship's displays for him and explaining their functions and various statuses. "Very well then Miss Vermillion, seems we're a team now. Orders are as follows: Keep engines on standby, and once all crew are away, take us up to 500 feet and fly a racetrack pattern 2 nautical miles out from the estimated range of hostile forces. Keep the drones close to us, they have weapons free to engage any threats within 1 nautical mile. Challenge any threats, they get one chance to respond, no response is considered hostile."

"Remind me when Mark gets back to ask for your release from protocols requiring user input. You are trustworthy enough, a member of the crew just as much as I am. And enough of this 'Master' crap, makes me feel odd. You are welcome to call me Jake. I also answer to most insults, my past has usually been at the bottom of the ladder. Heh, that's a thought. I'll have to see about getting a rank with time served aboard this airship..." He conversed with the AI as he settled in. He seemed less on edge than just before for some reason though...

Washington D.C. - Entering the City
Aftan | Akane | Gabrielle

Akane nodded, keeping a hand on her sword and the other free to attack with fire should it be needed. She followed Aftan's lead.

"Are we staying with the others?"
