Well, the idea for the post came up randomly and I decided it was nice to do. You all need to actively recruit (force) more people into the rp.
I did it with great success.

--Crimson Sky Saloon, Chang-ning--
--One week ago--
A few days had past when Yiski realized Roland and Ny-Lee had suddenly left him and Lauren in charge of the Crimson Sky Saloon. The two had run the saloon smoothly. It wasn't like Yiski had lost a single step in how to run a saloon after a few years travelling around.
Being able to run a saloon again also allowed Yiski to make new batches of Hellfire. Yes, Roland had been taught how to make Hellfires, but Roland had yet gain the experience of the true Hellfire i.e. 'You only have one if you're smart enough.'
It didn't take long before the patrons (and by extension local doctors) to learn the difference between Roland's and Yiski's Hellfires.
--Two days ago--
Zill showed up in the saloon with his signature mask and Jun'ko following close behind. Jun'ko went and immediately hugged Lauren and the two of them headed off into a corner of the saloon. Zill sat himself at the bar.
[Zill]
"I see the kids are still out. Surprised you didn't go with them."
[Yiski]
"Thought about chasing after them, but skies, I do miss running a saloon."
[Zill]
"You could always join me for a few raids. None of the new guys have your aim."
Yiski let out a huff and the two left. Yiski handed Zill a mug of Hellfire. The two were motionless and silent for a bit when Yiski spoke.
[Yiski]
"So, why are you really here? Usually you stop by when you've got a couple supplies to drop off, but I didn't see anything with you. Don't tell me the mighty Zill couldn't get a successful raid?!"
Zill snorted when hearing Yiski's last sentence made in an overly dramatic tone.
[Zill]
"Feh, you wish. But you're right. I don't usually come in without anything to show. The thing is.... I need a favor. I need..."
Yiski then put his hand up.
[Yiski]
"Wait! Let me guess."
Yiski put his right hand up to his chin and his left hand underneath his right arm. Moments went by and Zill started to get a bit impatient.
[Zill]
"Yiski, I don't have time for your bull...."
[Yiski]
"You want new weapons."
Zill was surprised. Not because it was what he wanted. Actually, it was the farthest thing from his mind.
[Zill]
"Actually, I needed... you know what... nevermind. I do want a new weapon."
[Yiski]
"Just one? I did say weapons. As in more than one. Well, more like two."
Zill stared at Yiski. If there was one thing Zill didn't miss, it would probably be Yiski's ability to annoy him. Yiski felt some underlying spite from Zill and laughed and yelled over to Lauren.
[Yiski]
"You good watching the place a bit love? I'm gonna show Zill something."
[Lauren]
"Really? I mean.... is it ready for use?"
[Yiski]
"No clue, but I figured Zill can give is a good testing."
Lauren sighed with caused both Jun'ko and Zill to express (at least obviously from Jun'ko) some concern. Before Zill had a chance to inquire further, Yiski headed towards the front and Zill was quick to follow.
[Zill]
"Where we headed?"
[Yiski]
"Out."
Yiski hailed a carriage and got in with Zill, sighing.
--Outside of Chang-ning--
An hour had past and Zill noticed they were outside the city limits. The carriage had stopped and the two got out. Zill wasn't surprised in the least that there was nothing around them.
[Yiski]
"Come on. We gotta make the rest of the way on foot."
Ten minutes later, Zill was about ready to kill Yiski. The two had been walking for what Zill believed to be in no particular direction. Zill's impatience started getting to him.
[Zill]
If I kill him here, then nobody would know where to find the body. And it's not like I can't live out in the canyons for the rest of my life.
Just as Zill reached down for his handcannon, Yiski stopped. Zill looked around and found a small, relatively fortified building.
[Zill]
"This is?"
[Yiski]
"A place I retreat to when I'm bored."
As the two got closer to the building, Zill got a whiff of steel and gunpowder. It gave Zill a slight chill down his spine. Yiski plus secluded building plus gunpowder equals fun times.
Yiski unlocked the door and the two entered. Immediately, Zill noticed three things. First, the inside was modeled exactly like the armory back in Anvala. Second, he noticed two guns or at least he thought one of them did.
One gun look fairly bulky with a short barrel. The housing curved back toward the controls. Next to it, Zill noticed some fairly large rockets.
The not-looking-like-a-gun looked more like a launcher of sorts. Around the base of the launcher, Zill saw a few mines with balloons attached.
The third thing Zill noticed was the wide grin on Yiski's face.
[Zill]
"The hell are those?!"
[Yiski]
"Well, the don't have a name yet."
[Zill]
"What do they do?"
[Yiski]
"Fun things."
[Zill]
... ... ...
[Yiski]
"I think it's better to show you the fun."
*Cue montage of Yiski and Zill going crazy with the hades and mine launcher.*
After thirty minutes (and numerous smoldering targets) later, Zill simply looked over to Yiski.
[Zill]
"Bored, huh?"
[Yiski]
"Yup."
[Zill]
"How soon before I can take these?"
[Yiski]
"How about now?"
Zill laughed to himself. Yiski needed to be bored more often.

World / Re: How do GOIO ships land?!
« on: October 23, 2013, 11:26:40 am »
I would assume docks are extremely large (mostly to accommodate for galleons). Of course, large docks would only be possible in large cities with heavy trade or military installations. For small towns and cities, Smollet's pic would probably be the best thing they have.
As far as 'landing', I'd have to guess the balloons on all ships would still be active to prevent any touching (which then means the docks are positioned probably a couple hundred feet higher than the ground level of a city).
Of course, keeping the balloon active would require the crew to throw down a lot of lines to keep the ship from drifting either naturally or when a heavy storm comes rolling through. Even then, dock workers would have to regularly check all the docked ships' balloons to ensure there are no leaks causing the ships to 'sink'.

Fact: RethBurn is an Englishman.
Fact: RethBurn is pretty much any nationality you want him to be, as long as it pisses him off.
Shut your damn mouth, I'm Danish!
Fact: RethBurn is angry he's an Englishman and lying about being Dutch.
