Lack of posts, obviously you need something so do shout and I'll write what you need.

Ask and you shall recieve.

Well to that, I understand that you represent the powers that be.

So, where does this crazy train go?

Simple enough map on the front pick one of the yellow dots and give it a vague meaning, then push the train in whatever direction and I'll get it where it's going either by sheer luck, prompting, or boredly taking over and forcing it wherever. (Before anyone smirks the last one is in no way innuendo)

Edit: last post was on the 24th I'll call death on this if it stays inactive for two weeks past this date.

Are we going to cont this?

 

[Masika]

Spoiler: OOC

I would really like to. But it seems like I'm the only one that checks it all the time. I'm stuck in a barrel and kinda can't do much at the moment. For the most part, it's up to us to keep the story rolling and not badrider. We're out in the ocean, someone can decide where we're going and then take a stroll in the storage room and find Rayai. We can go from there. I'm on nearly everyday.

Yeah..I would have thought that the DM would say where we will be going. Anyways I guess I'll will found you by just wondering around.

Tig grew bored sitting there as he was "alone" where he was sitting. He got up and decided to explore the back. As he look at their supplies, the ones that aren't nail down to keep safe, he open and look in. While looking his heavy boots would be heard as he open the barrel and look in. Seeing a woman inside and wonder why and who she was.

"Who are you?" He asked as he look down at her.

 

[NeoAC]

Ryan came running down the halls, a bag of devices in his hand. He spotted the man from earlier.

"Hey, man!" he called out. "I found those PDA things the guy was talking about." He pulled one out of the bag. "They look pretty nice and stuff."

He made his way to the barrel and looked in, wondering what had caught the man's attention. When he saw the girl hiding inside, he returned to a familiar state. Confusion.

"Who's that?" he asked.

Alright as long as others are on board I'll hi-jack characters to keep this moving

Roscoe O'Malony -ignoring what everyone had just said- after careful contemplation,
"make a heading for the north most landing point"

And so it began....

 

[Masika]

Rayai had been caught. She didn't know what she could do at this moment. Two men had found her after numerous people had walked into the storage room. "Alright, I guess there's only one way to work my way into getting them to allow me to stay." Rayai managed to pull a full thought out of her mind as she was trying to think of all the possibilities for options that she had.

"My name's Rayai Colton. I am a scientist working in the Botanical division. Who, if I may inquire, are you fellows?" Rayai had stood up, however she was still significant shorter than the men and had to look up at the two maitaining eye contact with both the whole time.

 

[Outcast107]

Tig look at the woman, wondering how she got here and what will happen to her now.

"My name is Tig Smith." He said as he spoke though his mask. His voice having a robitic sound to it as he help the woman out.

 

[ae86gamer]

Aeryn walked back and forth on the train. Tampering with her music machine. Walking towards the back she saw Tig talking into what seemed like an empty barrel. Walking towards Tig she made her way to the entry of the door.

"Hello Tig I..."

She saw the woman in the barrel. Surprising her and scaring her Aeryn lifted up the music machine and pressed it to her chest in fear.

"Who are you?"

 

[Masika]

"My name is Rayai Colton. I am a botanist." She spoke clearly and confidently after she finished stepping out of the barrel.

Her hair was a little damp and her clothes were wrinkled, but Rayai extended her hand to be polite. While sitting cramped in the barrel, the only sounds Rayai had really heard were those of undistinct voices and foot steps. It was unbeknowst to Rayai that there was another female on board the ship.

 

[ae86gamer]

Aeryn jumped back a bit when Rayai extended her hand. Aeryn looked at it for a few minutes and then shook it, her music machine in her other hand.

"Uhhh...Hello, my name is Aeryn Lamar. Nice to see you. You must've been the one emanating the bright colors that I...."

Aeryn realized she had said too much. Shaking her head a smile crossed her face.
"Its very nice to meet you Rayai."

 

[Masika]

"It's nice to meet you too." Rayai took note of the machine in Aeryn's hand and then looked the woman in the eyes. "May I ask what that machine is?"

 

[Outcast107]

Tig look at her and said "How did you sneak on board in the first place?" He didn't care that she did, he was just wondering how she did it. He took Rayai hand and shook also. Unable to feel her skin since he wore gloves around his hands.

"Before I reply to that question, may I ask that I remain in the mission crew until the return trip to Voluspa?" Rayai switched and looked right into Tig's eyes. She needed to ensure that her personal mission wouldn't be jepoardized.

 

[ae86gamer]

Aeryn stood still as Rayai and Tig spoke. She answered Rayai's question.
"Its a music machine."

Almost dropping her machine she caught it and it turned on. Playing the soothing music. Aeryn didn't look at anyone but instead tried to switch the machine off.

"I'm very sorry...I'll turn it off."

 

[Outcast107]

"..I promise not to tell, but I can not say for the others."He nod his head to the other two people. He wonder why she was looking at him that way. Most people try to avoid looking into his mask eye sockets.

 

[NeoAC]

Ryan stated, "I'm not gonna say anything. Name's Ryan, by the way. Here, have a thingy." He tossed on of the PDAs to Rayai. "Everyone have a thingy!" He gave a PDA to Tig and Aeryn. He then looked out the window, the shore was starting to pull away from them. "Hey, anyone else notice that we're actually moving now? If you're a stowaway Rayai, I think you've pretty much gotten away with it."

 

[Crowghast]

Roscoe gave the screen a bow, and turned it off. Donning the suit and helmet to his side, he reflected on what he had been told...

Roscoe felt... what was it? Of all the things said to him, all that he was told, none of them softened the conflict in his mind. He still didn't understand them. This harrowing feeling, like he was about to vomit his brains, what was it? Was it the now obvious fact he was [i\]not going home[/i] for a [i\]long time[/i]? No.

They had betrayed him.

He hated them for it, like [i\]never[/i] before. Literally. Had he ever a thought of treason? A single imagining of bettering [i\]anyone[/i] besides his leader's gains?

[i\]Years[/i] of nodding his head in acceptance, [i\]years[/i] of good work and jobs well done, [i\]years[/i] of looking away, turning the cheek, of borderline sycophancy and subservience. [b\][i\]Years.[/i][/b]

And the only reward he wanted, and got, was a meal, a bed, peace of mind, and his precious trinkets.

He looked, to the passing spectator, like a very life-like, and very angry statue. He was stock still, and fuming.

He saw the others drawing attention to a barrel.

Calming himself, before his newfound anger got a hold of him, he walked to them.

The walk calmed him... why had be been so angry?

He felt like it was a trifle silly, looking back on it now... no.

The helmet! He cast the thing from him in a sudden shock. Wringing his hands, as though it would have given him a sort of vile, festering, plague. They were using it to monitor him, it had detected mild emotional responses and was redirecting his thoughts.

He started to cringe upon looking at it. Turning quickly, making himself look more regal (Like an officer should look...) he continued walking.

"What..." He began quietly... and then he paused... he hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time, he should choose his words carefully...

"As newly appointed Senior Officer of this crew, I take it upon myself to know my crew. As such, I will have all occurences reported to me."

Pretty good start, a little too quiet though, he'd work on that... gazing slightly to the barrel, he recognized... someone he didn't recognize.

"Who is this?"

 

[Masika]

"Thank you." Rayai smiled at Tig.

Ryan tossed the PDA at her, in her attemtp to catch the device, she nearly fell over. In the minor commotion, she failed to catch the machine and it dropped to the floor a few feet away. "Thank you, too, Ryan. I'll just pick that up."

As she reached for the PDA, Roscoe walked into the storage room. "Who's this?" He asked.

Quickly, Rayai stood up. "I am Rayai Colton, one of the few botanists of Voluspa. It's nice to meet you." Again, she reached out her hand to shake his, with the hopes of being proper despite(sp) her appearances.
