"IT IN MY OTHER PANTS!"

[aceofeagles]

(Isaac) "sigh...." walks down to the pump. Looks at carn "...." kicks the pump..it sputters back to life "just needed a gentle touch."

[Carn]

(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."

[aceofeagles]

(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....

[Carn]

(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."

[Koali]

"So, uh, what do we do? Do we use me as a parachute?"

[Carn]

(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

[Koali]

"Well, that's one of us taken care of... Any ideas, Spades?"

[Carn]

(Cheshire) from Cole's mobula "SOMEONE GET ME OFF THIS THING!!!"

[aceofeagles]

(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..."

[Koali]

"...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 thread.)

[Carn]

(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.

[Koali]

(I can see the movie poster already. Alister Carn: Drunken Badass)

[Carn]

(I love it.)

[Koali]

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."
