Hello everyone i made this thread to rp and shtuff. fun shall be had but please dont break the fourth wall and dont be op and a hotshot the scene is a group of private eyes have teamed up to make a HQ where they fight crime in a steampunk fashion. without further ado..let us begin.
Isaac Spades was in his office Sleeping off his migraine from his last case...oh that dame sure did slap him hard...more then most dames do..well atleast he could finally "KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK"....sleep....no rest for the weary it seemed.
(Spades):"GAAAAAH...who is iiiit?!?!?"
-
(spades office looks sorta like this)
(https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTeYryat6Lkl7NokylaHzOQhlXoQ1ibAsvEjgEAX9sFazb-LcAJcA)
(without the tv and the laptop)
-
(Koali): "The door to the office opened to reveal a small (about 8 inches tall!) pink ball-like fellow, with a handsome face and strong features... Ah, sorry, was I monologuing again? The name's Koali."
-
(Isaac)"upon seeing the pink fellow and the pink fellow seeing him they both make a fanfiction about each other.....OK Let's stop monologing. The names private eye Isaac spades. Whats your story?" Takes out two glasses and apple cider and pours it for his guest and himself.
-
I noticed the strangest thing when I walked into my office that morning. There was a man at my desk claiming to be a private eye... He looked like something straight out of a noir film. Unless... What if this wasn't my office? What if I'd walked into the wrong building again?
(Koali): "What are you doing in my office?"
-
(Spades)suddenly realizing.... oh shit this isn't my office and this guy looks straight outta one of those anime shows."the real question is..how do you know this is a office?"
-
(Koali): "This isn't my office."
-
(Isaac)"then if this isn't our office.......then who's is i-"
(?): "ITS MINE YOU MINDLESS DOLTS" Isaac jumped at the voice. The door slammed right open almost hitting koali. The man was a heavy set man dressed in a suit with a bowler hat. His overalls barely fit him threatening to snap at a momenst notice his hair was almost about gone and he has a face that told you somebody was going to die."You poor excuses for private eyes fowled up another case!!!" He said in a very angry tone.
Isaac suddenly remembered..... this was his boss and koali was another private eye here at the HQ. They've been working here for more then 4 years . Solving and fighting crime.....but he couldn't remember what case he screwed up on...all he remembered was that he woke up here.
(Isaac) "I'm sorry boss me and Koali...we um.... we were cleaning." Getting up from the chair you start wiping of the dust from your bosses table "see?" Isaac then also remembers that he had one phenomenal power. He had telepathy..isaac tells to koali telepathicly everything about his memorys.
(You may have one power in this rp... But please don't God mode your power.)
-
A loud snoring can be heard from somewhere in the rafters, then a large man falls down. Hitting the floor he immediately jumps up brandishing a sawed off shotgun
(??) his words somewhat slurred, and smelling outright of alcohol, the man begins shouting "Whossat? Weream I? Oh, bossman?" looking at a portrait of a stuffy looking military officer, likely a Admiral "Don worry sir!" begins to hiccup "Them bastages are gone! I plugged 'em meself!"
The group stares at the alcoholic, wondering where he came from, and what he's talking about.
-
One power, you say? Hmmm... On one hand, invulnerability. On the other, unlimited internal storage. Or... I could just have the power of being a Kirby. Which is all of the above.
-
(Just be you koali :p )
Isaac (a tad bit startled) looks at the slightly drunk man that fell from the rafters....it's carn...
(Boss) "carn....what have I told you about being drunk on the job....." the man said calmly... But aggravated taking deep breaths from his nose almost ready to blow.
-
(I like to think that we're all monologuing out loud like in some noir movie, except that everyone can hear it, not just the audience.)
(Koali): "The man was far more than slightly drunk. It looked like some bartender'd played the accordion on his bar tab with a pair of brass knuckles. I couldn't help but ask... 'What the !@#$% were you doing up in the rafters?!'"
-
(Carn) sobers up enough to realize his surroundings "Wait. This ishn't the barracks on the Dreadnaught." belches then bonks himself on the head, then cracks his back "You get used to sleeping in hammocks or on girders when your on a ship that size lads."
(My power is that of every semi old 80s action movie hero. Meaning a) I always have booze b) I never run out of ammo c) I am always a drunk badass and most importantly d) I'm allowed to be the crotchety guy with flashbacks.)
-
(Isaac) "....How in hades did you Get up there in the first place mate?"
(Also that's a sweet power. :3)
-
(Carn) takes a swig from his flask "No bloody idea. Muscle memory maybe? The Dreadnaught had A LOT of rafters. And it didn't matter if you were a gunner. You climbed 'em and fixed whatever flackin thing was broke."
(As a side effect of this power, I am excused of grammar and spelling corrections for being an old drunk. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
-
(Sneaky sneaky)
-
(Boss) "SILLLEEEEEEENNNNCE!!!!" The room echoes from his roar....he looks at koali,isaac,and carn.."you...are...this close..from being fired...."
Turns to isaac"do you know what you did you FOOL!"
(Isaac) "nope"he says with a stupid look on his face.
(boss)he takes in a deep breath aaaand "YOU AND YOUR IDIOTIC CREW OF HALFWITS ALLOWED A GANG OF THIEVES TO RUN OFF WITH ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND IN PRICELESS JEWELES FROM THE FJORF BARONIES MUESEUM YOU NUMBSKULL." Spit flys from his mouth. "YOU IMBECILES HAVE FIVE DAYS ....FIVE DAYS TO FIND THOSE JEWELS AND GET THEM BACK!!!"...his voice becomes quiet "or else...I swear to GOD you all will..SUFFER!!!" He plops himself down in the chair..."now then....GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!!!"
(Isaac,carn,koali)"YESSIR! " carn slams into the wall. Isaac grabs carn and pushes him out the door.loamier now on his back. The door closes behind him."....what now...." they stand in the foyer of the HQ
-
(Carn) a note and a small cloth bag fall out of Carn's pocket while on the other side of the door "Huh?" scoops it up, in the bag, is one off the jewels stolen "Well now." looking at the note and seeing its sealed with lipstick, he opens it "Some rats prefer shinier cheese than most, yet they are still rats. And cats hate rats. Come alone to where the kitty sleeps, if you want to know more. C." stares at the note "Lads, I do believe I have a date tonight."
-
(Isaac)"c?...hmm..make that a triple date...me and koali will stake out the area while you do your...."charm""
Takes the yellow jewel.... "why in Hades sakes would this be in your bag?"
-
(Carn) "I'm assuming C. slipped it in there. I'm beginning to wish I could remember what happened last night, more than usual. Though I know the place being referred to. And your NOT following me. I've got good instincts for this kind of thing. Go and snoop around the docks. Usually something around there worth checking." tipping his hat, he walks out and to the meeting place
-
(Isaac)".....are we gonna go after him like dolts koali or should I break out the whiskey.... "
-
Walking out the door, he pops one of his patented emergency sobriety pills. Then he turns into the city, to a saloon below street level, called The Cat's Cradle. Entering, he see's a tall blonde woman in the corner booth, and takes a seat facing her.
(Carn) "Cheshire. It's been awhile." pulls out the note "Still using that lipstick I see."
(Cheshire) licks her lips "I know you miss the taste."
(Carn) slides his ex the note "Now then, are you why I can't remember a single thing from last night?"
(Cheshire) smirks "That's just like you, always right to the chase. You never want to play first." seeing his expression she sighs "Yes I spiked your drink last night. A simple drug to wipe your memory of the previous hour or so. Beyond that, you can blame the alcohol."
(Carn) mutters some swears under his breath "So then, whats your stake in this?"
(Cheshire) "You know perfectly well what it is. I'll not let my grandmother's jewels be put on the black market."
(Carn) "Then how did you get the one you slipped me last night?"
(Cheshire) smiles "You remember why they call me Cheshire."
(Carn) "Is this going to end up as a"Is thieving from thieves really a crime?" discussion?"
(Cheshire) "Possibly. To be blunt Carn, because I know you prefer it to be brutally blunt, one of those gems in particular is special. It acts as a sort of key. Supposedly to a vault in Lord's Leap."
(Carn) sighing he replies "Just how far down the rabbit hole does this go?"
(Cheshire) sighs "I have no idea."
-
Meanwhile.....
Isaac and koali hear the whole conversation via a planted bug on carn "lords leap eh..."
-
(Cheshire) "I do hope your friends heard that." plucks the bug off Carn, then crushes it "Because they won't be hearing more."
(Carn) looks at the bug "I don't think they ever learned what back off meant." hears a rattling from behind a large potted plant
(Cheshire) raises her eyebrow "I said come alone, so I suppose they looked for a loophole. But a plant? Really?"
(Carn) pulls a blackjack from his boot and tosses it at the plant, then wooden club shattering it, spilling dirt onto the floor "Well now, he's not with me." the man who was behind the plant, a short scraggly one, bolts for the door
(Cheshire) pulls a stiletto knife from her sleeve, and throws it at the man, pinning his hand to the door frame just before he got out "I recognize him." saunters over and kicks the man in the balls "He's one of the thieves!"
(Carn) retrieves his blackjack, then uses it to knock the man out "Well then, you care to join us Cheshire? I'll be taking him to the office, and its likely they'd either bug me, or follow me again." begins to tie the man up
(Cheshire) begins to walk backwards into the shadows "I'll find you if I need to."
(Carn) finishing securing the thief, he lugs him over his shoulder and heads back to the office, mostly thinking of the words and physical punishment he will deliver upon his "friends" for once again, being too nosy and not respecting his privacy, but also muttering to himself about his ex "Always like playing chess against a grand master with her. So much bait and switch, cloak and dagger, gah she drives me up the wall."
-
(Koali): "What? Isaac, you never told me you put a bug on Carn. And now he's gonna kill BOTH of us!"
-
(Isaac)"oh cmon koali im sure he'll understand."
Isaacs mind....
(Isaac) sees carn come through doors and then a VERY graphic scene plays out.
Reality....
(Isaac)"on second thought......ill just look busy and when he comes through the door ill jump out the window..I need to study this jewel for clues... " Isaac pockets the jewel and heads to his lab.
-
(Carn) walks into the front room of the office and hogties the prisoner to a support beam, but not before removing and pocketing the stiletto Cheshire put through his hand. Seeing Koali sleeping in his chair, Carn passes him over, deeming him not near as likely as Spades to plant a bug on him. Hearing a commotion on street level, he sees Spades try to stealthily bolt, so he once again fishes out his blackjack and throws it at Spades in the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. 2 minutes later Spades is in his chair, with Carn towering above him, playing with the stiletto blade. He doesn't need to look at the blade, he knows every millimeter of it, after all, he did forge it all those years ago.
-
(Isaac) wakes up...."ow...my heaaad...wha- " ...sees carn. "....hi carn... hehe... that bug was funny eh...."
-
(Carn) "You know Isaac, as a pi........I thought you would have learned the importance of privacy, and subtlety. Especially when it comes to your allies." runs his thumb along the blade, a trickles of blood flowing down "Strike one Spades. Don't interfere in my private affairs again. Trust me to do my job. Remember, my specialty lies in digging in places where most people won't tread, where most don't even know about. Better for you not to know as well." puts the stiletto into a pocket then goes over to start rectifying his current state, that is sober
-
(Isaac)....."Nice acting...did the anglean army also teach you How to do ballet." Isaac gets up from his chair. "Fine. I'll stay out of your affairs....But only because your conversations are boring as hell... oh I put that bug on you last week.....ill be in the library studying this jewel." Isaac walks up a set of stairs into the library.
-
(Carn) begins to drink the potent liquid from his ever present, and ever full hip flask "That wasn't an act. Next time you bug me, I'm torching your clothes. Surprised you don't want to know more about her. She IS the daughter of the Baron who's jewels were stolen after all." takes a deep swig and begins to think out loud "If boss is the brains, Spades the heart, Koali the adrenal gland, and me as the muscle, I need to find out who is the liver. They need to work out more." drinks some more
-
"How am I the adrenal glands? I thought I'd be the liver, because I can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'."
-
(Carn) slipping once more into drunkenness, Carn retorts "Because your always bouncing around and never seem to be calm." sways over to Koali "But! If you are the liver!" pours Koali a cup of his brew from his never ending flask "Then you need to workout more." tips the glass into Koali's mouth, the liquid instantly making him drunk and wishing that Carn drank paint thinner and not the crime against nature, and livers, that he keeps in his flask
-
(Isaac) walks down from the library "boss the brains... carn I believe he's the fat here" spades looks at the jewel "hmm...this I's one of the jewels that was at the museum....I estimate it's worth at about..." counts in his head. "Oh a small two billion."
-
(Carn) "Fat eh?" unbuttons his shirt to reveal abdominal and pectoral muscles that would make a gorilla jealous, then buttons his shirt back up "What fat? And your wrong about that jewel. I know that one. An heirloom jewel, referred as the Sun Rose. Cheshire used to tell me about it all the bloody time. It's not QUITE that much, perhaps 50 million. Thieves probably didn't know it was worth that much, considering she was able to get her hands on it."
(alcoholic badass, no matter how much he drinks, he is ripped)
-
(Isaac)"not you carn... the boss.... and please...don't do that again...ever....oh and thanks for telling me about the jewel. I usually just throw around ridiculous numbers until somebody corrects me. :P"
"So..."takes out a bone saw. "How "delicate" would you like me to talk to our..."guest" to retrieve some..info."
-
(Carn) looks at the man unconscious "According to Cheshire, he is one of the thieves. She put this," pulls out the stiletto "through his hand, and 20 paces. However, I'm willing to start with a more, pleasant approach. Cheshire never tells the whole truth. And she may have told an outright lie. So, I'm going to be diplomatic on this one, when he wakes up." goes over pulling out a strip of clean cloth and pours some of his flask's contents over the wound then bandages it, the man immediately screams and begins jerking around, nearly breaking his bonds "Oh hush ya ninny. Best disinfectant ever." takes a swig, the man slumps back into unconsciousness "I'll deal with him myself Spades. Leave the jewel if you please."
-
(Isaac)places jewel on the mahogany table."alright...hmm...she said something about a vault in lords leap...I remember my father told me something about that when I was learning about the baronies and theyre regions...he said that there was so much unimaginable wealth there it would make king solomon look like a poor man...hmm. im going to go down toward lords leap. I have a friend there that can give me some help." Goes to his room.

He goes into his wardrobe for his black and white warroom suit with a large raven Symbol on it. He then retrieves his rapier and his dart gun...and his captains hat with a small metal spade...it was his fathers.
You walk back to the foyer.

(Isaac)"anybody want to join?"
(The speakers and TVs in the picture are a figment of your imagination.....)
-
(Carn) "No, I'll deal with this guy. Cheshire might try and contact me again, and as she already knows this place, better to just stay here." drinks from his flask, then see Spades sadly sober and an empty glass, he then pours Spades a glass and puts it in his hands "Come on! For your health!" the fumes coming of the glass are stronger than paint thinner, and the glass appears to be slowly dissolving
-
(Isaac)Isaac knows that refusing a drink is down right ungentlemanly.... and being weak...you take the drink down with one swig...isaac talks in a whisper. "Thank...you...." isaac walks out the door to the goldfish. A slit appears in his mouth and he vomits into a nearby alley..."note...to...self....no...acohol.. "
-
(Carn) grins, unknowing of the fact that he is the only one who enjoys the drink, or can even safely digest it "A wonderful way to start a journey off!"
-
(I meant a slit in my mask appears and then I throw up.)
-
I had no idea what brand of napalm Carn had just poured down my throat, but boy, did it hurt.
(Koali): "Whazza... Carn... Whazzat you drinkimlrf? 'S gross... How... How you-*hic*-how d'you drink that all... Duh... How d'you drink that all the ti-*hic*-time?"
I was irked by the fact that I couldn't manage to tell him to shut up and quit being such a stereotypical action hero.
-
(Carn) "Huh? Watcha talkin about? This shtuff is delicious! Ya want somore?"
-
(Isaac) Isaac was walking to his pride and joy....The Orion he built this goldfish by scratch...it was in some tough battles...and Isaac thought it was his child. "How yah doing today orion. "
It would be a shame if anyth- *BOOM* ...the blast sent Isaac flying and into a window where a store was...."ow....." he got up to see his ship had been obliterated.... "......." Isaac stared in awe... his ship...the Orion...was gone....
-
(Carn) in his drunken state, it takes a moment for Carn to register the explosion "Oh boy!" moving with surprising coordination for one in his state, he rushes to the docks "Hey Shpade, wasn't there a sip here?"
-
(Isaac) "....." in shock...."m...m...m...my...ship...."
-
It amused me that things were happening, but we were too royally drunk to do anything about it.
-
Carn dragged isaac.now in a catatonic state. to a sofa and layed him down.meanwhile in isaacs head "I coulda died....if i didnt stopped to drink carns drink..i would be dead right about now...who in gods name wants me dead..."isaac then fell asleep exausted from the stress and shock. carn slept on a chait and koail became a rock and slept...
-----END OF DAY 1------
-
---START OF DAY 2---.
isaac finally got up to a still sleeping carn and koali....he hoped to God that the boss wouldn't notice the ship...and he also needed to get to lords leap fast....But first He had to wake up these guys."hmm"..you go in your cabinet and get some smelling salts. you put it to carns nose...."wake up..."
-
(Carn) The fumes of the smelling salts have zero effect on Carn, due to the potency of the fumes of his usual drink. However, he is hungry and his stomach audibly growls about as loud as a bear, and thus he comes awake. "Get those away from me. You know they don't do a flipping thing to me." drinks from his flask "Now if you will excuse me, I need to find a chicken to eat." get up and streches, then goes down to the larder to find sustenance
-
We hadn't had a proper breakfast in a while, so I'd gone downstairs to fix something up.
(Koali): "Morning, Carn. Gimme a minute and I'll whip something up."
-
(Carn) Turns around with the remains of a rotisserie chicken in his hand, and the leg bone in his mouth. Spitting it out he says "I'm good, had a bit of chicken." begins to drink from his flask, then proffers it to Koali "You want a morning pick me up?"
-
(Isaac) I need to upgrade my formula on these salts then...sigh.... carn I built that ship by hand...from every splinter in my finger to every fine detail on the paint design... it was a beautiful ship...and then....gone..."...looks outside to see the smoldering remains of his ship...*wimper*...."whoever did this is going to be in Alot of pain.....carn... where's the prisoner.. " hides a pair of pliers
-
(Carn) "Hold it. My prisoner, my interrogation. And I'm going to start humanely. However, its possible Cheshire may know something about this. Grab something to eat, I'll see what the guy knows." goes down to the cellar, where the prisoner is. this is the nice room, he has a bed, fresh, albeit dusty sheets, and a bucket. he's also not in restraints
(?) "Look man, I don't know who you guys are, just let me out of here!"
(Carn) tosses the man some jerky "Just want to talk a bit. Why were you eavesdropping on me the other day?"
(?) picks up the jerky and nibbles on it tentatively "I was hired by some guys at the docks to trail the woman and eavesdrop on her."
(Carn) "Whats your name? And who hired you?"
(?) "My name is Greg, I'm just a dockworker. But I sometimes run errands for other people, to make some extra money you know?"
(Carn) "I know, now answer my question."
(Greg) "I don't know who they were. They gave me a picture of her, told me where she would be at, and what to do. I didn't know she'd be armed, I thought they were just some dopes who had a thing for her, she is a looker."
(Carn) a vein begins beating in Carn's temple "What. Did. They. Look. Like."
(Greg) sensing the large man in front of him is losing his patience, he begins to provide as a best a description he can "Uhh one was tall, almost as tall as you, but really skinny. He didn't talk to me at all, just whispered in the other guy's ear. That guy," looks Carn up and down "Was about as big as you, minus a few inches. They paid good money up front. I don't ask questions. Can I go now?"
(Carn) "Not just yet. The woman said she saw you before, with the others."
(Greg) "They took me to a warehouse, maybe it was there? Here," grabs a grimy piece of paper out of his pocket "that has the address on it."
(Carn) takes the paper "Thanks, one of our men will bring you something more to eat later."
(Greg) "But,"
(Carn) "Goodbye for now, Greg." leaves the room and going back upstairs, relays the information to Spades, handing him the paper "The guy is just a squeem they hired to tail Cheshire. He doesn't know much. Koali, in a bit go and bring him some food and water. You can bonk him on the head if he tries to escape."
-
(Isaac)"hmm.....guess the docks then....whoever stole the jewels and blew up my ship....is still there...I may have a plan... "
-
(Carn) cracks his knuckles "Want backup?"
-
(Koali): "Good food or bad food? Like what kind of quality are we talking here?"
-
(Carn) "Like a 2 start restaurant. Nothing fancy, but not trash either. He's just a chump trying to make ends meet with some extra work."
-
(Isaac)"actually... Yes...it's simple... we release our prisoner and ill use my telepathy to make him go to our thief. Then when he finds our thief. carn will go to his exact location and make a transaction with our thief 50,000 for the jewel. Then we'll meet up at the transaction area...that's where my man and koali comes in. My man will take his mobula and surprise our enemy then while the thiefs suprised. Koali (since he is fast) will tie up our thieves and voila. We have our man"
-
(Carn) ".........Your forgetting a few things. 1 there's at least two thieves, 2 we don't know what ship or ships they have, 3 they stole more than a few jewels, and by going up to them like that, it would tip them off, and 4 my gut is telling me things are deeper then they seem. Cheshire has always been on the grey area of the law at best, and she's always coveted those jewels and its likely she won't inherit them as she is the youngest. She may be working with them, it wouldn't surprise me. I'd much rather just go there, as we have the address. I can unmoor my old galleon. It's still loaded with a double heavy flak, and hades broadside. Koali and Spades, you guys can blow the wall with some tactical explosives, and they get to say hello to two heavy flaks, and a hades pointed directly at them."
-
(Koali): "That's gotta be the longest it's ever taken me to fix up a plate of bacon and eggs. Anyway, Greg, here you go."
-
(Isaac)"Good idea carn But we need him alive."
-
(Carn) "THEM, not him. There are multiple targets here. Anyways, I can get some old friends on board, if you give a day or so. I'll ring up some old friends." takes a swig "I should mention that I'm part of a secret group if I'm going to bring them in on it. Throughout human history, there has always been at least one of us."
-
(Koali): "And what do I do?"
-
(Carn) "I told you already, you and Spades blast the wall open with carefully placed charges. Anyways give me a bit, I'll get the rest of the Dbs on the horn."
-
(Koali): "On a scale from 1 to 10, how carefully?"
-
(Carn) "We want to remove one wall, without damaging the interior, killing anyone, or bringing the entire building down. So from 1 to 10, 11."
-
(Isaac) "I shall start work on the explosives. They must be calibrated to the right concentration of explosive chemicals to only affect blah blah blah" goes on for two hours about explosives...... "and that's that... "
-
(Koali): "Or we could just use a can of Loch powder."
-
While Spades was rattling on about calibrating explosives, something Carn already knows about, he sent word out to some old friends. There is a loud banging on the door.
(Carn) "Ah, quicker then I thought. Must've been in town." going over and opening the door, Carn welcomes in a man whose physique rivals Carn's though he has black hair and a bushy beard, whereas Carn is semi blonde and clean shaven, the man is also roughly 60 years old"Alexi! Been a while you cantankerous old fart! Hows the Guild?"
(Alexi) taking a swig from his own hip flask, the fumes of which are terrifyingly similar to Carn's he replies "Boring. Not much work beyond blasting some Arashi every few weeks. Was in town when I got your message. You said something about Cheshire, and heavy flak guns, and that's enough for me boyo. Anyone else show yet?"
(Carn) "No, your the first so far. Shim is probably at a brothel, knowing him."
(Alexi) "Age before stupidity I suppose." belches
-
(Koali): "Seriously? At a brothel? He's probably drunk, too. Gimme a minute, I'll get my stilts."
-
(Carn) "........"
(Alexi) forms a somewhat stern expression, that lasts all of two seconds before he bursts out laughing "Of course he's drunk! Who do you think we are boyo?"
-
*Returns in an exoskeleton like the one in the ghost ship thread.*
(Koali): "It's fine if he's drunk, but he needs to be here, not in a brothel. You guys can go there AFTER the mission."
-
(Carn) "Hey, WE never said we were going there. But I suppose I'll need to fetch him."
(Alexi) looks back and forth "Haven't you told them who we are Carn?" takes a deep drink from his flask
-
(Koali): "He's said a bit, but not everything."
-
Another man, this one in his early 20s, with red hair, a lipstick smudge on his face, and smelling of perfume stumbles in.
(Alexi) goes over and whacks the man in the back of the head "SHIM! Quite going to those places! You don't want to catch what most of those girls have!"
(Shim) grins with the stupidly pleased, then takes a swig from his flask, again a highly potent mixture "I'm here ain't I Alexi? What does it matter if I enjoy myself a little first?"
(Alexi) "Why you little,"
(Carn) "Cool it you two, you can have your usual spat after the mission."
(Shim) "What IS this mission exactly?"
(Carn) "Some thieves are trying to access the Lord's Leap Vault. And I think Cheshire is working with them."
(Alexi) "The flaking,"
(Shim) "Hell! I never trusted her Carn. No trustworthy woman has lipstick that sticky!"
(Carn) "Well you would know all about lipstick Shim."
-
(Izzat a reference to that PM?)
(Koali): "Whatever. I'll go pack up some supplies."
-
(Carn Alexi and Shim) "DON'T FORGET THE BOOZE!"
(Alexi) "Well it has been awhile since all of us were in the same place."
(Shim) "Very true."
(Carn) "They don't stand a chance against our order."
-
(Isaac) as carn talked to his pals he started making the explosives...one false move and boom...."steady now isaac ol boy....steady." holding a flask containing literal death." There...done....alright carn all done." The bomb had a wind up mechanism to 30 seconds and was spherhical in shape. " this should blow up that wall...we might wanna be a couple feet away though...."
All of a sudden a mobula docks. A strange man with a mask over his mouth started walking up to the door of the hq. "Ah that must be him."
The man walks through the door. He waves to isaac.
(Isaac) does sign language to his friend. SIGN:"Sup Cole been a long time."
(Cole) gives spades a thumbs up.
(Isaac) talks to carn "this is cole. Hes one of the top pilots for the fjord baronies airforce. Hes mute however.
(Cole) waves hi to carn
(Isaac) SIGNS: "so is the mobula ready to go?"
(Cole) Thumbs up
(Isaac)"great we'll be getting Ready soon"

(Carn) "........I don't know sign language. And when did we agree on a mubula? I believe the plan was to TACTICALLY blow the wall, introducing them to the business end of two heavy flaks and a hades, courtesy of my galleon." see the bomb "Dude, TACTICAL explosives!" rummages in his desk pulling out a block of plastic explosives "LIKE THIS! Easy to make, and easy to use. Slap a couple of these on the wall, hook up the detonator, some primer cord, move back a bit, then detonate. We want them ALIVE, and the contents of the building UNHARMED. You blow that thing, and there's a good chance that the jewels will be damaged. Which will mean we don't get paid!"
(Alexi) "NOBODY IS CURIOUS ABOUT WHO WE ARE?!"
(Come on guys, throw Alexi a bone. He's an old man who enjoys telling stories.)
-
*Throws a literal chicken bone at Alexi's head.*
"Either shut up or start talking."
-
(Isaac) one: if things get hairy we use the mobula as backup. Two:I built this bomb for 3 hours..... I caculated trajectory, dome of influence, velocity and I added a adorable sound when it blows up...."
-
(Carn) "YOU DON'T KNOW THE BUILDING!"
(Alexi) Picks up the chicken bone, and begins gnawing the remaining meat off of it, while in between bites telling his tale. "We are The Order of Drunken Badasses. Throughout human histroy, in every generation, there has been at least one Drunken Badass. Our abilities, are that we are always in prime physical condition, and can always fight. Case in point," pulls out a veritable hand canon "We never run out of ammo. We also never run out of our own special booze." Alexi, Carn, and Shim all show their flasks and take a swig.
(Shim) "But we still like other booze too." eyes the bottle of whiskey on a nearby table
(Alexi) "In any event, one of us is a handful, all three of us,"
(Shim) "Mayhem at its finest." grabs the whiskey and takes a swig "Meh, not very strong, but it tastes okay." keeps drinking
-
(Sectoidor) "This isn't my planet".
-
(isaac) stares at the sectoidor.........."who the *%*$& are you?"
-
"Dang right this ain't your planet!"
Koali stomped his way to the Martian and lifted him up off the ground.
"And I'd advise you to smarten up and stick to what we know before I send you home."
-
(Carn Alex and Shim) look from their flaks, to the new......thing, and then at each other
(Shim) "Are we THAT drunk already?"
(Carn) sniffs his brew "Not unless someone spiked our flasks."
The three drunks began a ridiculous debate on booze, hallucinogenics, philosophy, and what the perfect woman looks like. Well, that last bit was mostly Shim.
-
"What the perfect woman looks like?!"
Koali opted for a mechanical facepalm.
-
(Shim) "Well you see she-"
(Alexi) Slaps Shim in the back of the head hard enough, that it creates an echo. "GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!"
(Shim) sulks in the corner drinking from his flask
(Carn) "He can never think with his brain. Not entirely." looks to Koali "I suggest you don't encourage him. Otherwise, you'll be wishing you could erase your memories." gets a haunted look as he recalls Shims "Opinions" on the perfect woman
-
"Well, I prefer a smart woman, with a good personality, and hopefully a good hugger to boot... What? It's not all about looks, y'know."
-
(Cole): facepalm
(Isaac)"Can we please get this show on the road..."
-
"On the road? I thought we were flying?"
:D
-
(Carn) "Quick amendment, Koali, I don't trust you to tactically explode anything. Spades, I don't trust that bomb. You don't know the target, so you guys fly on either the Galleon or the Mobula. Shim will pilot my Galleon."
-
"That's understandable."
-
(Sectoidor) "Well excuse me, isn't his a xenophobic crowd. I come in peace, I swear."
-
(Isaac) "for the integrity of this establishment and my sanity. please state your buisness. this is a private eye headquarters not your walk in and chat bar."
-
(Alexi) sips from his flask "But you DO keep booze here right?"
(Carn) "I do. There's flasks and bottles of whiskey and rum all over here."
(Shim) pulls out of flask of whiskey from behind a bookshelf "Well, at least you have emergency rations."
-
(Sectoidor, I suggest you keep the Martian thing under wraps, at least for a while.)
"Wha? Wait... Carn, just how much booze do you keep here?"
-
(Carn) thinks for a moment "Uhh lets see. About a month's supply of each. Well, the amount I could drink in a month."
(Alexi) "At least half a years worth for your average liver. Only that much Carn? Didn't I teach you anything?"
(Carn) "Budget. And I have to share this place. And make sure they don't skim my booze." grabs a half empty bottle of rum from behind a painting on the wall, and guzzles it
-
"Hah, as if I'd drink your booze!"
-
(Carn) shakes his flask "You seemed to enjoy the cup the other day." takes a swig "But this stuff is far better than what I've hidden around here. That stuff is just emergency booze, normal levels."
-
"If my memory serves me correctly..."
I had no idea what brand of napalm Carn had just poured down my throat, but boy, did it hurt.
(Koali): "Whazza... Carn... Whazzat you drinkimlrf? 'S gross... How... How you-*hic*-how d'you drink that all... Duh... How d'you drink that all the ti-*hic*-time?"
I was irked by the fact that I couldn't manage to tell him to shut up and quit being such a stereotypical action hero.
"I did NOT enjoy it. Next time you do that I'm sticking an icicle in your ear."
-
(Carn) looks confusingly from Koali to his flask "How do you NOT like this stuff?'
(Alexi) drinks from his flask, then belches "Some people have to sense of quality."
-
"It's probably one of the few things on this mortal coil that can kill me!"
-
(Isaac) suddenly Isaac is sick of this shit and throws the premade bomb at the UFO.
(Bomb)"QUACK" *BOOM*
(Isaac)it blows up the UFO compleatly and all of it's invincible bullshit force field's cause eff that. "ahem...now that i have your COMPLETE attention. Can we please get this Show in the air. "
-
Three three Drunken Badasses are also getting annoyed and sick of this. So they combine their skills, and quickly make a rocket and shoot it at the mothership. It should be noted that the rocket contained booze from all three of their flasks. The resulting explosion was a spectacular, mulch-colored affair.
(Carn) "Agreed."
(Megabear, if you want to RP in a thread, you have to obey the rules. Next step will likely be your character being killed off. This is a lore-friendly thread. Aliens are not GOI lore friendly.)
-
(Koali): "Bravo! Vous l'avez déplumé! Félicitations! Heu... Hum. Sorry. Pardon my French."
-
(Isaac)"....whered you learn... yaknow what never mind." Signs back to cole "cmon Cole Let's get the yeager running before anything else happens... "
(Cole) nods his head and walks out with spades to the mobula
-
(After this cluster**** I've forgotten our mission.)
-
Meanwhile.......
(Boss talking to somebody on the weird calling device. ): "Yeah... Yes I know....DO YOU THINK I'M A BLITHERING BUFOON... Yes why do you.... Yes...hmm...sigh.... alright.. bye..."
-
(Carn) hears the Boss upstairs "He doesn't sound happy. I mean he sounds less happy than usual."
-
Everyone decided to continue on the next day. Carn and a couple of his friends slept on some couches and koali slept in the rafters. Isaac and Cole slept in the mobula.
END OF DAY TWO.
-
START OF DAY THREE....
Isaac woke up first and started to make cofee for everyone. Isaac gets his airhorn from long koalis closet and then yells right into it "WAKE.UP."
-
"Zzzzlrmf... Snrfl... Zzz..."
-
The three drunks are in some kind of daze, possibly a temporary hallucinogenic coma. All attempts to bring them out fail.
(I'm out of town for most of this week, and won't be able to post. Consider them unconscious with some bizarre story to tell when they wake up.)
-
(Isaac):"koali.... carn and the others aren't waking up....koali?... "
-
"Zzzz... Huh? What?"
-
Not part of any of these threads but Megabear, you are being very disrespectful of others and their threads.
-
(I removed his posts if he comes back please just report it and we'll deal with it.)
-
A post has been removed for its content. Let's all keep everything civil and within the Standards (http://gunsoficarus.com/community-standards/).
Cheers.
-
(Spades)plays chess with Cole while he waits for carn and Co to wake up.
-
(Whoa, haven't been on for a little while. I feel like a guy whose nation went to war while he was on vacation in France.)
Koali saw Isaac and Cole playing chess and leaned over Isaac's shoulder (on the mech stilts, mind you) to suggest a move.
"You should move your rook up five spaces and cut off his king's escape route. Maybe it'll distract him from the two-turn checkmate he could execute by doing this."
He then proceeded to demonstrate.
(Yes, Spades, I'm picking a fight. For the plot!)
-
(Cole) looks surprise by the new strategy
(Isaac)"so I was wondering koali... should we wait for carn or go?."
-
"We should probably wait, he seems to be the only one who knows what he's doing."
-
(Isaac)"carn...knowing what hes doing...in what dimension?"
-
The three drunks shoot up and land on their feet, Alexi ans Shim with a wild look in their eyes, and pawing for their weapons. Carn however, waltzes right up to Spades and proclaims "Well whose plan are we using?"
(I'm back! You miss me?)
-
(Isaac) "well I suppose yours since my bomb sorta.....exploded.....cmon Cole lets get the mobula ready.. "
(Cole) looks at the chess board...
(Yes)
-
Alexi and Shim are still slightly frazzled.
(Alexi) "What just happened?"
-
(Spades)"there was explosions.......that's all you need to know."
-
(Carn) "I believe he is referring to why the three of us had.........some odd dreams, just now."
(Shim) begins to shake "Evil ponies.............laughing penguins.................fungus........."
(Carn) looks at Shim, then back to Spades "Yeah, you DO NOT want to know what we just went through."
(Alexi) "I swear I can still feel the nibbling.........."
-
"Do tell, I love a good story."
-
(Carn) "To retain this semblance of sanity you see before you, I've suppressed the memories until a time when I can thoroughly examine them."
Shim and Alexi are babbling incoherently in the corner, the group occasionally hears certain remarks such as "Pink foot" and "Demonic candy".
-
"What in the world are they going on about?"
-
(Carn) "I don't know how long its actually been, but we've just been in a shared hallucination that felt like it lasted half a year. It was not a pleasant place."
-
(Spades)uses telepathy to probe carns mind.....he wishes he never seen what he just saw...
-
"That bad, huh?"
-
(Carn) "Would you kindly keep your mind out of mine? You have no idea how gross that feels when you do that. Like a tentacle of sandpaper coated in snot, probing and wrapping, gah!"
-
"Do you mind if I write that down? It's for someone else."
-
(Carn) "Uhhhhhh, I don't want to know."
(Alexi) "WHEN ARE E GOING TO BLOW SOMETHING UP?!?!"
-
"Iunno."
-
(Isaac) runs outside and boards the mobula... looks at everyone. "Well? Are yah comin? "
-
(Carn) grabs the explosives he'll need, along with his monstrous assault rifle. "Shim, you know where A Ton Of Bricks is, lead Alexi and Koali there. Alexi slap him in the head when he starts gawking."
(Alexi) "My pleasure."
Carn bolts off to the warehouse to set his explosives, Shim jogs off down to where an old Galleon rests, Alexi following with Koali perched upon his shoulder.
-
(Yay, shoulder perch!)
-
(Isaac) "ok Cole Let's....wait what are we supposed to do?..."
(Cole)*facepalm *
-
Carn sets the explosives and waits with the detonator. Shim brings around Carn's galleon, A ton Of Bricks, and positions it so Alexi and Koali have an easy arc with the Heavy Flaks. As Koali has tiny legs, Alexi straps bricks to his feet so he can properly man the Heavy Flak. Shim also readies the hades.
On the radio Carn says "Isaac, where are you and that mobula pilot of yours? We're all ready to blow the place."
-
(Carn, I have my stilts.)
-
(Alexi is an old drunk. Give him a break.)
-
(Isaac)"Yeah were here." The mobula floats around the warehouse. "Im gonna do some recon." Jumps off the mobula and lands on the warehouse. Probes the building for guards... "we got about seven guys know there...theyre armed with some High powered assault rifles... watch it...." zips up to the mobula
-
(Carn) sniffs "Cheshire is in there too. I can smell her perfume. Standby on guns. Detonating in 3....2....1," several explosions detonate in sync, removing the wall and revealing the team of thieves.........and their leader Cheshire
(Cheshire) "Well now, the old drunk actually figured it out. GET THEM YOU IDIOTS!" her guards begin firing, despite the extreme firepower pointed at them
-
"Do I shoot at Cheshire?"
-
"No! Don't use heavy weapons! If we damage the goods, then we are SO fired. Cheshire is MINE!" As the thieves have not noticed that Carn is on the ground, they don't see him as he begins to sneak up behind them.
-
Press B to mark the target!
"Ready to fire!"
-
(Shim) "I'm not pressing any bee! I hate getting stung! Just grab a rifle and get going!"
(Carn) Carn has turned off his radio to better sneak up on Cheshire
-
(Isaac) "Cole fire the stunners. "
(Cole) "does a thumbs up."
(Isaac) "carn find cover and close your eyes im gonna stun these thugs."
-
(Isaac) "carn?... carn.... CAAAAAARN. "
(HAD TO XD )
-
(haha no problem man. its to cliche not to do.)
(Carn) pops up less then 20 feet behind Cheshire "Time to go Cheshire. The jig is up."
(Cheshire) turns around................and its a blonde wig on a mannequin
(Carn) "Oh fu"
(Cheshire) puts her blade right on Carn's jugular vein "Language my dear."
-
"GAAAAAH!!!!"
Koali grabs the megaphone.
"YO! CARN! PERMISSION TO BEND REALITY?"
-
The heavens open and a horrifying image appears before Koali. The giant angry face of Gunhild. "NO YOU IDIOT! Don't make me cross realities!"
(Alexi) sees Koali staring up into the sky with a terrified, yet awed look in his face. Sadly, only Koali is experiencing this hallucination, so Alexi remarks. "Somebody find out what he had to drink. I could use something like that."
-
"Wha? OH JEEZ IT'S GUNHILD, SHE'S GONNA KILL ME, OH NO, THIS AIN'T GOOD, CAAAAAAAAARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
-
(Cheshire) "What is that pink thing yammering about?" presses her knife further, a trickle of blood running down Carn's neck
Meanwhile
(Gunhild) "NOW GET YOUR BUTT IN GEAR, AND GO SAVE THAT DRUNK VERSION OF CARN! AND DON'T THINK ABOUT BENDING REALITY AGAIN OR I WILL EAT YOU!"
(Alexi) sees the panicking Koali "On second thought, I don't what whatever he had."
(Shim) "Good call. Now get your hairy old butt down there and help out Carn! I've gotta park this tub!"
Alexi grabs a rifle and vaults over, firing upon the enemy
-
Koali hitches a ride on a Flak shell, catching it before it hits and holding it in a threatening manner.
"Cheshire, if you don't agree to play nice, we're all dying here and now."
-
(Isaac) "Cole...release the stunners.."
(Cole) nods.
The stunners fall out from the mobula and into the warehouse blinding everybody. You jump from the ship and creep behind cheshire and shoot her with a sleeping dart. "That's for my ship you wrench. "
-
(Cheshire) as she falls, the knife blade digs dangerously deep into Carn's neck
(Carn) as he loses consciousness in a pool of his own blood he gurgles "I told you, I had her." a loch grenade rolls out of his left hand, detonation in 3 seconds
-
(Isaac) isaac grabs the grenade and put it in koalies mouth ..."COLE GET US OUTTA HERE." a couple of zip lines come down from the mobula and Isaac grabs on to one of them and ties carn and the rest with the zip lines. The lines pull the crew and Cheshire onto the ship safely.
-
(Cole) Cole gets off of the helm and starts adressing the wound on carns neck.
-
(Cheshire) becomes conscious long enough to say "Won't matter, the poison is in him now." she slips back unconscious with a chuckle
-
(Isaac) you look at carn......"one thing left to do then.." you go into a deep mind probe and grab carns conscious out of his body....
(Cole) ....Cole looks at spades...SIGNS: "He's dead.... "
-
(Alexi) shouting over the radio "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!?! GIVE HIM HIS BOOZE! HIS HIP FLASK YOU DOLTS! THAT WILL STOP ANY POISON!"
-
(Isaac) replaces carns conscious and gets his flask and pours it into his mouth.... "cmon buddy.... "
-
(Carn) raises his head, gives a bloody grin and a thumbs up, then begins to snore
-
Koali burps up some smoke.
"Spades, you idiot! Do you realize that you stunned me and shoved a Loch grenade in my mouth while I was holding a Flak shell?! We could have died! Or at least you, Carn, and Cheshire could have."
-
(Isaac) "I took my chances if I didn't put that grenade in your mouth we would be dead...due to your invunlnerability it would blow up safely inside you." Goes over to Cheshire and ties her up. "Sorry about the conscious thing carn...had to make sure it was safe. "
-
(Carn) is snoring louder than a galleon engine
(Alexi) "Give him a few hours, he should be fine."
-
"What? I can't hear you."
-
(Alexi) "JUST LET HIM SLEEP!!"
-
(Alexi) "JU... EEP!!"
"Just sleep? Ok then."
Koali dozes off.
-
(Shim) "How does a creature with no visible ears, lose it's hearing?"
(Carn) snores, then passes gas
-
(Carn) is snoring louder than a galleon engine
-
(Cheshire) starts choking on the fumes of Carn's personal wind
(Carn) begins to brew up even more wind
(Alexi) over the radio "If any of you value your sense of smell, I suggest you get out of there quick. He's about to purge." slips on a gas mask
(Shim) does the same thing, and moves the galleon back a few hundred feet
-
(Isaac) already has mask on. Puts carn in a airtight bubble and keeps him in the cargo bay.
(Cole) puts koali on his head
(Isaac) *facepalm *
-
(Carn) a purple cloud begins to fill the bubble
(Alexi) "Uhh he's going to need to breathe you know. It would be a shame to save him from bleeding out and poison, only to suffocate."
-
(Isaac)"sigh..... " goes down into cargo bay and carves a hole out from the bubble. Then positions the hole into a porthole letting the gas out...
-
The purple cloud rises out of the porthole.
(Alexi) "COVER YOUR EYES!" Once he sees they have all done so, Alexi shoots and incendiary round from the hades, igniting the purple cloud into a ball of fire that lingers for half a minute. When it is gone, there is nothing left but a snoring Carn, and the faint scent of rotten rutabagas.
(Shim) "I hate purple purges. They're always so weird."
-
"Eurgh... What was that?"
-
(Alexi) "Our booze has many properties. Among them, being able to purge poisons. Purple means it was a particularly rare and nasty poison. There is also green, orange, and blue purges."
-
(Isaac) "hmmm..." puts some of the gas inside a bubble like helmet and seals it. Walks up to Cheshire... "where's the jewels... "
-
(Cheshire) "Oh? The mean old detective can't puzzle that out?"
(Carn) manages to crawl back to the top deck, a large fresh scar on his neck, in a quiet and gravely voice he says "Let me." grabbing Cheshire by the collar of her shirt, he drags her down to the cargo bay, the smell still clinging to the walls.........
(Shim) "Ok well he's pissed."
(Alexi) "How about you check the warehouse first? Plenty of crates there. Let Carn do his thing."
A new smell, this one horribly familiar, the smell of Carn's booze.
(Shim) "Oh hell, he's going to force her to drink that!"
-
"Oh man, it was bad enough for me, and I'm indestructible!"
-
(Isaac) "i think ive already figured it out...gentlemen.......were gonna take a trip to lords leap..." takes the jewel that he snagged when cheshire fell asleep. "heh"
-
(Isaac) everyone decided to get some rest and slept on there way to lords leap. Isaac restrained cheshire and sat in front of her....he wasn't going to let her get away...
----END OF DAY 3-----
-
-----START OF DAY 4-----
(Isaac) in the cargo bay isaac was keeping a close and tired watch on cheshire. You hear her starting to wake up.."morning sunshine...would you like a inflight meal." Isaac grabs some rations and realizes shes tied up..."oh...i forgot...so anyway..... i need some questions to some answers.... no not like who stole the jewles or who are you working for ecetera ecetera ..no i wanna know.." stands up and positions his rapier at her throat. "who.blew.up.my.ship."
-
(Carn) is silently watching up in the rafters, due to his recent neck wound, he isn't speaking much currently
(Cheshire) "How should I know? Explosives aren't my style," looks up at Carn and bats her eyes 'Right honey?" she begins to cackle "Poison is my preference in case you never noticed. So much more discreet. Explosions are to flashy, they draw to much attention for my line of work. Tactical explosives are acceptable to get into a building, but I never use any other explosives."
-
"It's not impossible for you to coerce someone into doing it, though."
-
(Cheshire) yawns with a large sleepy smile, characteristic of her namesake "Why do you think I did it? I just wanted my family's jewels."
(Carn) a hoarse chuckle can be heard from the rafters, calling down Carn says "You never could stand that your fat sister would inherit them before you."
(Cheshire) hisses "That old cow has no sense of beauty."
-
(isaac) "i didnt say you did it...i want to know who did it..." walks around her..."theres two people i despise...murderers and people who have zero honour.....two out of two so far for you..." stops and sheathes rapier "theres one of two ways this can go down...one you tell me all you know...or two i probe deeply into your mind and make your subconcious think that your ugly for the rest of your life"
-
(Cole) decided to fly in reverse.
-
(Wut?)
-
(Isaac) "well that happened..."
-
(Carn) a hoarse, horrifying chuckling begins to emanate from Carn "That's actually the most serious threat I think anyone has ever used on her."
(Cheshire) with a considerably paler face she goes on "Why do you think I know anything about your ship? I only know some old Goldfish blew up for unknown reasons a few days ago. I swear!"
(Carn) leaps down, landing next to Spades. He motions him to follow, guiding him over to the corner. "She's telling the truth. Believe me on this, I've only seen her tell the whole truth once before. The day she dumped me, and the first time she tried to kill me. She doesn't know anything about your ship."
-
(Isaac) "I guess your right...Sigh..we still need to know where those jewels are and What's in that vault at lords leap...any suggestions?"
-
"Should we swap her lipstick with a different color?"
-
(Carn) "While I was out," taps the new scar on his neck "Did anyone even bother to check the warehouse?"
-
(Isaac) ..."koali... you've earned your pay for the whole month " tosses koali a coin worth 100
Goes up to the deck and finds cheshires purse. Goes back down...looks at cheshire....goes over to porthole and puts cheshires family jewel inside there. "So...wanna talk?"
-
(Carn) "DID NOBODY CHECK THE FLIPPING WAREHOUSE?!?!" begins to clutch his throat and cough
(Cheshire) gives a deadpan stare "I know for a fact, that your contract states if any of the jewels are lost, or damaged, then you won't see a penny. Also that one isn't real. Its a glass copy."
(Carn) grabs the stone and gives it a close look, then shatters it under his boot "Glass."
-
(Isaac) "my contract also states I find the jewels by ANY means possible. " looks at the glass shatters... "oh well...."
-
(Isaac)"and no carn we haven't yet But I believe your friends are there."
-
(Shim) through the radio "Holy cow! That's a lot of jewels!"
(Carn) "I'm thinking they found them."
-
(Isaac) looks at cheshire "why in...God's name would you put priceless jewels in a warehouse sticking out like a sore thumb?"
-
(Cheshire) "In case you didn't notice, my employees were not that bright. That was one of the MANY things I was discussing with them when you decided to come in."
-
(Isaac)"well that solves the jewel problem....." goes up yo deck and tells Cole to head toward hq. Picks up a much and radios in to hq. "Boss it's me Isaac. We found the jewels were coming back with them.
(Boss) static.background noise. "You did.... ok well are ALL the jewels there in the warehouse? "
(Isaac) "Yes Boss there all there alexie and shim just found them...."
(Boss) "ah good you did a excellent job spades. You shall be rewarded SPLENDIFEROUSLY "
(Isaac) "OK bye Boss...oh wait I have one question...."
(Boss)"Yes..what..."
(Isaac)"How did you know they were in a warehouse? "
(Boss)"....."
(Isaac) "boss?...." puts down the mic..."Huh...no response... "
All of a sudden a rocket hits the starboard side of the mobula
(Isaac) gets blasted to the side "GAH!!!! "
-
(Cheshire) smiles as Spades comes back in "Sooooooo, I see you talked to my boyfriend."
(Carn) "Spades..........I call dibs on killing him."
-
(Isaac) holding his side "gaahahaaa... that guys your boy friend?!?!" Gets rocked again by another rocket "gluh..COLE WHAT'S GOING ON "
(Cole) comes down the steps Half way....SIGNS: "2 mobulas and 3 squids incoming!!!"
(isaac) "koali get on the guns,carn call for-" another rocket hits and isaac falls over."..backup..." gets up..runs to man the gatling.
-
(Carn) goes to the back of the ship "SHIM! ALEXI! GET YOUR DRUNK ASSES OVER HERE NOW!"
(Shim) muttering to himself as he preps the Galleon "How the hell is he so LOUD?" Alexi just shrugs
(Carn) going to the front of the ship "YOU WANT SOME YOU FART OLD FART?" begins to make rude and obscene gestures "WELL COME GET SOME!!!" starts firing a hades
(Cheshire) just shrugs "What can I say, fat man has money."
-
(Isaac) aims the Gatling at the squid coming in and shreds there balloons apart..... it veers off course and slams into the ground. "...lucky shot i suppose...carn they wont kill us as long as shes on board...she did say fat boy was her boy friend...." a barrage of hawacha hits the engines and slows it down "they may board get ready.." unsheathes rapier and loads revolver.
-
(Carn) continues to unload the Hades, managing to rip through and cause sever damage to one of the mobulas, then a lucky banshee shot destroys the cannon. "GRRAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" unhooks his axe in his right hand, and his shotgun in his left "BRING IT YE FAT BASTARD!!"
-
Two squids latch onto the minimal and some ugly mugs start coming abourd.
(Isaac)"shit..carn you take the right ill take the left!" Isaac thrust his blades into one of the men and unloads two bullets into the skull of a thug hitting two other mugs. Then removed the rapier from the dead thug and thrusts his blade into the knee of a mug running right at him with a flare gun and shoots him through the skull. "CARN HOW YAH HOLDING?"
-
(Carn) has forgotten the shotgun fires bullets and has instead been using it to bludgeon heads, to the point where it snaps in two "JUST PEACHY!"
(Alexi) looks through his spyglass
(Carn) kicks the remaining guy over the edge, then, he drinks from his flask an amount that is about half a liter "AAAAARRRRRRHHHHHHHHH!!!!" jumps over to the squid and begins to hack at them with his axe, while beating them with his flask
(Alexi) puts down his spyglass "Shim."
(Shim) "What?"
(Alexi) "Carn's gone into the Drunken Berserker."
(Shim) "Seriously? Wonder what's gotten him so riled up?"
(Alexi) "I have no idea, but he just downed about half a liter from his flask."
(Shim) "Oh boy." aims the galleon for one of the squids
-
(Isaac) "cole...lets do it."
(Cole) puts his thumb up and grabs his mace and rifle.
(Isaac & cole) both of them get on the ship as a bunch of thugs run after them. Isaac skewers two thugs and pushes them over the starboard railing. Cole wacks three mugs on the head with his mace and switches to his rifle as he headshots the captain of the ship.
Isaac kills the remaning crew and cuts the harpoon line from the squid isaac and cole jumps back on board to go help carn.
-
(Carn) is busy swearing and laughing, taken by the berserker rage granted him by his ancestors. At this point he is drenched in blood, most of it not his, and repeatedly clobbering the captain of one of the squids with his flask.
-
(Isaac) "....you ok buddy?" Walks slowly to him and stops halfway
(Cole) holds onto mace with two hands and shivers...
-
(Shim) rams a squid which was about to make a run on the ship, practically tearing it in two
(Alexi) radios over to Spades "Never. Steal an Angleans girlfriend, even an ex. Even an ex they hate."
-
(Isaac)"right ill just let him cooloff "
-
(Alexi) "Better idea is find the guy who induced this state, and point Carn in his general direction. Then grab some snacks."
-
Isaac and Co slept on there way back to the hq...the only one who didn't sleep was Isaac as he kept a watch on Cheshire and everything else...
-
Koali pops back into existence.
"What did I--"
He looks around.
"What the !@#$%?"
-
---NIGHT TIME MODE----
(Isaac) Isaac explains to loamier what happened and How they have to go after the Boss "he obviously wanted to either. A:he wanted to grab cheshire and kill all of us or B:he wanted to kill Cheshire and take the jewels.. " looks at cheshire "I believe your boy friend double crossed all of us"
-
(Cheshire) "Oh he's putty in my hands. Completely unsubtle putty, apparently."
(Carn) is silently brooding in the lookout position
-
(Isaac)"I think that "putty" doesnt care about "kitty" anymore...and i have proof" gets a tranciever head phone and puts it in cheshires ear."i put a listening bug on fat boy...listen to this for yourself." clicks a panel button and the audio starts.
(Boss talking to himself)"GRAAH...THOSE THUGS FOR HIRE CANT DO ONE THING RIGHT" sounds of objects being pushed off the table...the boss is huffing and puffing..and pacing....he then starts to laugh."hahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA...those idiots dont realize i still have an ace up my sleeve hehehehe they think i care about that TRAMP..HA shes a dime a dozen i can get off the street....all i needed her was to steal those jewels and drug those private DOLTS with amnesiacs and make them believe I'M there boss HOHOHOHAHAHA.. they think they can just waltz back in here?...well let them...I challenge them to come.. it'll be the worse mistakes those SONOFABI- " Isaac cuts out turns recording
(Isaac) "putty eh?...." paces in the cargo bay.."also why do all the bad guys talk to themselves about there plan?"
-
(Cheshire) "Ohohohoho, Carn kill him slowly please."
(Carn) cracks his knuckles, at about 10 decibels louder than normal
-
(Isaac)"the thing is I'm worried about getting back to hq... that "Boss" could have activated the security systems at the hq...im starting to remember now...the real boss sent us on a mission to guard the jewels... and then..I forgot what happens then...But we were drugged with amnesiacs and used like a bunch of toys.."
-
---NIGHT TIME MODE----
(Isaac) Isaac explains to loamier what happened and How they have to go after the Boss "he obviously wanted to either. A:he wanted to grab cheshire and kill all of us or B:he wanted to kill Cheshire and take the jewels.. " looks at cheshire "I believe your boy friend double crossed all of us"
(I ment to say koali But my phone "auto-feked " it up )
-
(Isaac)"cheshire ill make you a deal " Isaac paces around... "you get us through the hq security systems and we'll help you with the vault in lords leap...." isaac takes out a small cigarette as a slit opens from his mask. Isaac puts the cigarette in his mouth But realize that his lighter was destroyed in the attack. "Sigh...just another thing to kill that bastard over.... "
-
Koali pulls out a small lighter decorated with a pair of brass lion heads and lights Spades' cigarette.
"Even though I don't smoke, this is still a nice thing to have around."
-
(isaac) "meh..i havent smoked since after that shipment of illegal very powerful explosives were shipped to a group called the orange roses and i was a young officer of the fjord investigative force and i went under cover at that time" blows some smoke out..."that was 2 years ago...while were flying to the hq.... i might as well recall the situation..ah yes.."
-----4 years ago-----
(Thug #1) "aight den mates tonight ery one ov you bloody buggers are gunna be rich toonite"
(Thug #2) "WE ARE GUNNA BE DAH MOST RICHEST FILTHY BASTARDS THIS WORLD HAS EVAH SEEN HA HAAA"
(Thug #3) "we have so many sentries even the idiots in the police force couldnt stop us)
(Thug #1) "are you fukin kiddin me those weak spined barones wont git there fine wine n dine clothes dirty"
(isaac) "yup"
of course nobody really cared for the greenhorn in the corner the baronies made a sort of a list of "naughty" things i did from murder to thievery to make me look like a regular run of the mill thug including sob story and everything..however one thug got to smart and...
(Thug #3) "ey...greenhorn..whats your name"
(Isaac) "...edward.."
(Thug #3) "well "edward"..since your a newbie here we need to initiate you"
(Thug #2) has a stupid smirk on his face "oh this will be fun hehe"
(Thug #3) "in order for you to be...fully part of the family..you need to be initiated"
(Isaac)"oh..and um..how is that.."
(Thug #3) "A good ol drinkin game"
(Isaac) says to himself "fu...Sounds good"
they called over the bar tender and they ordered i believe was 30 shots of some very awful liqour..the big guy got a head start but then i caught up..however at the 25th drink..i started to..feel my inards come up..."
(Thug #3) "whats wrong greeny...i thought angleans were good drinkers"
(Isaac) "oh no..im fine..*gurk*"
he then took advantage of me being dazed to look me straight in through the eye holes of my mask
(Thug #3) "HES A NOT A BLOODY ANGLEAN..HES A BARON."
(Isaac) "yeah and your no *GURK* PRINCESS" a slit from my mask opened up and i..."*BARF*"
he was of course stunned and i took out my revolver to shoot him and make the others lead me to the explosives...after that the rest of the force swarm in and took out the rest of the gang...i caught the leader and interrogated him for info on the where he got the explosives yada yada yada we found the master mind blah blah blah...
-----Present day-----
(isaac) "and thats why i dont drink no more.."
-
(Carn) "Honestly, you should have had me do that." crack his neck "But back to business, I uhhhh "added" some new traps to the system awhile ago............"
-
(Isaac)"that was 4 years ago mate.... But uhh... what exactly do you mean by..."traps"...."
(Cole) grabs some tools to fix something...
-
(Carn) "Uhhh memory is a touch fuzzy, I was completely hosed when I installed it. But I do remember flying buzz saws and flamethrowers."
-
(Isaac)"well.. fack... hmmm a direct assault on the hq would be suicidal...." grabs a lay out of the hq "however...there is a way in...a service and maintenance team comes in Tomorrow to fix some plumbing....alexi and shim can disguise as the maitenece men... then while theyre distracting fat boy.. Carn you should plant some explosives on fat boys ship...it's a mobula like ours... cheshire you'll sneak into the bosses office and find some documents on where our Boss is at....cole and koali will stay on the ship to provide us back up...ill go with cheshire and provide backup just in case...." folds up layout "any questions?"
-
(Carn) "I do remember installing a safety measure. I've uhh, been meaning to tell you about it. There's about 10 kilos of syntax under your desk Isaac. And I'm the only one who knows the frequency."
-
(Isaac)"....so your saying...I've had plastic explosives under my...and you could...." FAINTS.
-
(Carn) "Well look at it this way, we can park this tub a kilometer away and watch the fireworks. With all the booze I've stored up in there, not to mention the extra ammo, and kerosene, and all the other explosives, it'll be a nice show."
-
(Isaac) gets up from the floor... "we can't...we gotta get the files on the whereabouts of our original Boss....I.. I owe her one..." rubs head...
-
(Carn) "I honestly can't remember the old boss. But I'm sure he'd keep those in his ship. Or at least a copy." begins to try and recall the deathtraps and gizmos he installed "I think I put a canister of mustard gas in the vents................"
-
(Isaac) "her...carn.... her..and why would the Boss have onto on where She's being held..."
(Cole) walks in covered in black soot
(Isaac) signs: how's the engines?
(Cole) signs:awful.
-
(Carn) "Because he may want directions written down. He doesn't give the impression of being good at remembering where to go."
-
(EFF YOU AUTO CORRECT >:C...also carn the boss is a female x3)
(Isaac) "sigh...well we need to get those documents first before we make fireworks outta anything...now carn can you try to remember where the boss would keep documents like that on the ship.."
-
(Carn) "I remember seeing a safe in his quarters.........He got kinda twitchy and changed the subject when I asked what was in it."
-
(Carn, I notice you said you placed several kilos of "syntax" under Spades' desk. I'm pretty sure you meant Semtex; "syntax" means "the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language.")
A blackened silhouette walks in, puffing steam.
(?): "Any idea how we can fix up these engines?"
-
(HE'S PLACED GOOD GRAMMAR UNDER MY DESK? GOOD GOD SAVE US ALL.)
(Isaac) grabs his revolver quickly and aims it at the figure "HALT. Who are you."
(Isaac grabs a weapon faster than snake grabs a box.)
-
(?): "Jeez, don't you recognize me? Someone hand me a towel."
-
(Isaac) throws a towel at the figure keeping his aim on him.
-
(?) wipes himself off.
(Koali): "There, now do you recognize me? Now point that thing somewhere else. And go get me a chunk of coal while you're at it."
-
(YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT I MEANT. Pardon me if I I've never actually seen it spelled out. Also why would a snake grab a box?)
(Carn) "Uhhh I don't think our pilot would like me getting a chunk of him for you."
-
(Isaac) "sorry koali got me paranoid there..." holsters the revolver stylishly. Gives koali a chunk of coal.
(Also im reffering to solid snakes from mgs.)
-
(Koali): "I... What? Cole is made of coal? ...Oh. Haha. Thanks, Spades."
-
(I see what u did dere carn ;3 .)
(Cole) rolls his eyes
-
(Oh, yeah use a capital S next time thank you, otherwise it just sounds like you mean a serpent. And I couldn't resist, wordplay was to good to pass up.)
(Carn) "Oh you meant coal coal, not Cole."
-
In Koali's mind...
(Carn) "Oh you meant Cole Cole, not coal."
(Koali): "...What?"
-
(Carn) "Coal as in the black burnable rock, not Cole our mute pilot."
-
(Koali): "Ah, yes, I see. Carn, could you put this lump of lignite into the combustion chamber of my stilts?"
-
(Carn) ".........Your stilts are back at HQ....."
-
(Isaac & cole) *facepalm *
-
---start of day----
(Isaac) "alright guys....remember the plan. Alex...shim you guys hijack the maintenance crew and disguise as them.....Cheshire.. you and me will sneak into fat boys office and find anything document related to the whereabouts of our boss....koali... cole... you guys stay here on the mobula....if anybody wants out..or has any other opinions please voice them now."
-
(Cheshire) "I never agreed to this."
(Carn) "Honestly, just let me use the mustard gas in the vents. Then we go in with gas masks. We can use the basement tunnel. Uhh did I forget to mention I did that?"
-
(isaac) "..you do.....so i made this presentation of our detailed plan for nothing..." has a pointer in his hand pointing to various points on the hqs layouts...rips the presentation apart "siiiiiiigh.....well if you can lets use the mustard gas..."
----hq---
(fat boi) tapping his finger on the desk..."hmmm....i wonder what theyre up too..." gets up from his chair and waddles over to the main entrance of the hq. a thug is guardian the door
(Thug) "Any problems boss"
(fat boi) "no none at all...just getting some fresh air" exits the entrance and proceeds to walk to his mobula
----meanwhile----
(isaac) "hmmm"
-
(Carn) "In any event, Alexi and Shim are holed up keeping an eye on the jewels."
-
(Isaac) turns to cheshire "so cheshire whats up with this.."vault"...in lords leap anyway"
-
(Cheshire) "Just an old wives tale. Something to get the oafs to work for me. I have absolutely no clue if it is real or not."
-
(Carn, my silhouette was puffing steam. That steam was from my stilts.)
"Can I just remind everyone that I'm NOT a gas mask? Sure, I can be used as one to protect from Carn's purges, but really... That was embarrassing."
-
(Isaac) "I sorta suspected you were lying....so you used that story to make carn not suspect you...then add that so Called spy that was spying on you to make you like even more innocent..... I admit it was a good plan to making you look innocent.... But you forgot one minor detail... " takes a note from his pocket... "this is the note you left on the jewel ..." points to the lipstick... "I seen this lipstick on fat boys shot glasses... so I compared it and ran some tests... the results were 100% the same...so It was obvious...you had something to do with fat boy. ... " throws his cigarette through a porthole.
-
(Cheshire) "I already admitted I was trying to play him."
-
(Isaac) "in any case I think your wrong about the vault being a tale. My father was a goldfish captain for the kings air armada....my father was sent on a expedition to a 200 foot waterfall off the northern outskirts of lords leap..his notes claimed that as he was scouting out the waterfall he swore he could see a entrance to a cave... " paces around "now that lead may be obscure.... But it could be the vault entrance..... oh were here carn ready the gas"
-
(Cheshire) "I never said it didn't exist, I just said I didn't know."
(Carn) "Everybody put on their masks first. I'm triggering more than the mustard gas. I added auto-targeting poison darts as well, so we're gonna need to give it a few minutes."
-
(Isaac) switches to gas and poison mode on his mask. "Ready. "
(Cole) switches mouth mask for a gas mask.... puts thumbs up.
---meanwhile ----
(Fat boi) gets on mobula and gets out quietly.
-
(Carn) hooks on his sand devil mask "3...2...1..." he presses the button, the crew can see a murky cloud emanating from HQ. Carn sees something through the cloud "Does that look like a mobula to anyone?"
-
(FAT BOI MUTHAF*%%$R) Flys straight through the cloud and delivers a volley of incendiary rockets.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA"
(Isaac) "ITS HI-" gets knocked out by the blast
(Cole) struggles as the blows from the hwacha hit the mobula.. the mobula starts to descend...fast.
(Fat boi) gets some altitude to come in for another round. "TIME TO FINISH THIS CHARADE."
-
(Uhhh hwatcha on a mobula? Want to rephrase that buddy?)
-
(Woops....uuuuh... incendiary rockets?)
-
(Lets just go with 3 banshees.)
(Carn) "Showtime." takes a deep swig, then boards Fat boy's mobula "LET'S GO TUBBY!"
-
Koali, meanwhile, seized the opportunity to be uselessly confused, running around in very panicked circles.
"WHATDOIDO?! WHATDOIDO?! WHATDOIDO??!!"
-
(Carn) As his entry onto the mobula has not been noticed in the noise an confusion, he takes this opportunity to simultaneously eliminate one of the engineers, and disable the banshee he was firing. He begins to creep up to the helm.....
-
(Sorry for the delay)
(Thug) rushes up to fat boi at the helm "B-BOSS T-THE ENEMY HE HE HES HERE WHAT SHOULD WE DO?!?!"
(Fat boi) chuckles "hmhmhmhm let him come....and...prepare it..."
(Thug) "you dont mean....it..."
(Fat boi) "YOU HEARD ME YOU IMBECILE DO IT NOW!!!!" He screamed.
(Thug) "YES BOSS." Runs inside a room
---meanwhile----
(Isaac) blood seeps along the side of his mask "a..a..ahhh..." starts to regain concsious and sits up..sees koali running around. Grabs him "koali...do you have incindenary rounds for revolvers....cause we may have a issue...."
-
(Carn) Sees that he has been spotted, and goes in for a bull rush. Fat boy manages to dodge the axe's first blow and the helm is destroyed, locking the ship at full throttle in a decent. Pulling his axe out of the wreckage, Carn turns around. "So, we're moving at over 100 miles per hour, and are in a somewhat steep decent. Any last words before I hang you over the side by your own intestines?"
-
(Fat boi) "oh no...But you may have some last words. " all of a sudden fat boi quickly gets out a device that looks like a trigger for plastic explosives. "When I press this button..... about 40 pounds of red death will blow this ship to bloody hell " starts to laugh maniacly. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA GOOD BYE FOOL " ...BANG
a shot is heard hitting a portion of the hull..... a loud BOOM is heard from the cargo hull.. Isaac is seen hurdling toward the deck and rolling all the way to the helm crashing into fat boi. He gets up and aims at fat boi "smile you sonofa-" isaac pulls back the trigger and a incindenary round hits fat bois head burning the insides of his body until hes nothing but a dead heap. The trigger for the red death clatters to the ground.."well...one problem solved...." looks at the ground rapidly approaching..."please tell me you have a plan..."
-
Koali ties his feet to the railing and inflates like a balloon, slowing the Mobula's descent...
Slightly.
The landing would be non-lethal, but would most likely put a damper on the team's adventures for a while.
-
(Carn) "I TOLD YOU, LET ME KILL HIM!" swearing violently, Carn quickly descends to the balloon pump, dispatching any crew along the way. Arriving there, he proceeds to jury-rig it so their decent is slowed
-
(Isaac) grabs the helm and stears it away from the poisonous cloud of fumes coming from the hq...mumbles "I guess ill just take that as a thanks for saving your bloody life..."
-
(Uh, Carn broke the helm.)
-
(Yeah........It took a boarding axe to the face.......That thing is scrap)
-
"Spades, I don't know what you're doing, but pretending there's still a helm on this ship isn't exactly going to help us very much!"
-
(Carn) The swearing down below intensifies, to the point where a dumpster would blush. However, the ship's decent is severely slowed, now only at roughly 45 mph, instead of over 100.
-
(Oh.... woops... )
(Isaac) becomes self aware and realizes wtf he's doing.. instead gets his radio and talks to cole. "COLE IF YOU CAN HEAR ME RENDEVOUS THE MOBULA WITH THE MOBULA WERE ON AND SHOOT SOME HARPOON LINES AND SLOW US DOWN" ....nothing comes over the radio besides a small tap. "That must means he heard..oh wait." The mobula appears next to the other mobula. Cole shoots a couple harpoons and tugs the mobula to slow it down."phew."
-
(Radiation? That's a pretty poisonous typo.)
A even more profane string of swears come from below, along with a large blast of smoke.
"THE DAMN THING BLEW UP!"
The balloon pump is now completely destroyed, sending the ship into a steep decent.
-
(Isaac) "don't worry coles mobulas got us in tow... I think cole can handle it."
----meanwhile----
(Cole) realizes he needs something to drink and leaves the helm....
-
"CARN! FIND A SPANNER!"
-
Intermingled between the swearing, Carn calls up to Koali.
"IT'S LODGED IN THE BLOODY PUMP! THAT'S WHY IT BLEW UP! AND I DON'T THINK A SPANNER CAN MEND RIPPED TUBING AND BLASTED METAL!"
-
(Carn, remember the universe we're in. Spanners can fix anything.)
"I'M SURE IT CAN! ARE YOU HITTING IT AT THE RIGHT ANGLE?!"
-
(Oh I know, but he's equiped as a gunner!)
"I TOLD YOU, IT GOT STUCK IN IT!"
-
"THEN USE A PIPE WRENCH!!! IT WON'T BE AS FAST, BUT IT'LL WORK!!!"
-
"IT IN MY OTHER PANTS!"
-
(Isaac) "sigh...." walks down to the pump. Looks at carn "...." kicks the pump..it sputters back to life "just needed a gentle touch."
-
(I'm trying to create suspense, and a dramatic crash landing Spades!)
The pump regains life for roughly five seconds, then finally dies, the pipes and tubes connected to it, severing beyond repair.
"Gentle, riiggghhhht."
-
(Isaac) "well..shite......welp we have a couple pounds of red death on board,a faulty pump,a fast descent rate...."stands up and lights a ciggerete "we are fu-" the pump lets put another bang....
-
(Dude, why do you keep bringing up the red death? It's been gone a long time.)
"The Red Death?"
Carn goes over to the canisters.
"This is just A LOT of pepper spray, fatty got ripped off."
-
"So, uh, what do we do? Do we use me as a parachute?"
-
(Carn) grabs a strange looking back pack, then jumps pulling the cord on the parachute "TRY THIS! ANYWAYS KOALI, YOUR INDESTRUCTIBLE!!" his voice slowly fades as the distance increases
-
"Well, that's one of us taken care of... Any ideas, Spades?"
-
(Cheshire) from Cole's mobula "SOMEONE GET ME OFF THIS THING!!!"
-
(isaac) "i have one idea....we climb the harpoon ropes that cole shot at this mobula." points to the harpoons sucken into the hull... "its risky but our only chance...if we crash that pepper sprays gonna do alot of damage to us...we could climb the harpoon lines and get onto coles ship..."
-
"...Nah."
Using the stilts to augment his strength, Koali grabbed Spades and threw him up onto Cole's Mobula, then cut the harpoon cables linking the two ships together. Fat Man's Mobula iwas still speeding to the ground, but Koali was hidden in the cloud of steam generated by the stilts' power assist. As he fell he couldn't help but wonder out loud...
"How the heck is this thing still upright?"
As if on cue, Fat Man's Mobula promptly flipped over, the balloon canvas billowing out like a parachute.
(Reference to this (https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,5878.msg102225.html#msg102225) thread.)
-
(Carn) Lands, cuts off his chute, then walks into the bar in front of him so he may be returned to his favorite state. That is, completely drunk.
-
(I can see the movie poster already. Alister Carn: Drunken Badass)
-
(I love it.)
-
The Kirby woke up under Fat Man's capsized Mobula.
"Limb check... Yep, stilts still intact. Good thing I built this gear to last. Now... How do I get out from under here? Let's see... I could reinflate the balloon..."
Koali managed to wiggle around enough to align a steam vent on the stilts with a hole in the hull, filling the starboard bladder with steam and generating just enough lift to decrease the weight that he would have to lift.
"Now... Let's use that power assist again."
Gathering excess steam pressure, he lifted the Mobula enough to escape from under it.
"The real question is how that even worked."
-
(isaac spades) isaac lands on the mobula and tells cole to park near the wreckage of fat man's mobula. ISAAC runs up to koali "you ok?!"
-
(Cheshire) "Well now, would one of you handsome men, PLEASE UNTIE ME ALREADY!!"
(Carn) draining a bottle of something that is supposed to be whiskey, but may in fact be paint thinner
-
(Isaac) "nope. Were taking you into the police and clearing our name at that museum. So be a good little girl and Don't interupt.....I smell peppers...." sees the red fumes coming from the fat man's mobula.
-
(Cheshire) sniffs the air "Chaladonian Dragon Peppers to be exact. Fat boy was a moron, but he had money. And I had to many peppers."
-
Koali adjusted the various steam conduits on his stilts.
"Not entirely sure what we do now, but..."
