[2011-01-22 15:56:16] <@Insomnia> Applegate Session 02 begins where we left off. Some flying bubble touched boarded the ship and took a shot at Pasuvaise's head. As the trigger is pulled however, we set back a moment and consider who everyone is, and what has happened: The last time we met, most of the group was at an airport. Flights were cancelled, and everyone was being hustled to leave the station until things were safe with a voucher. Maximilion and Pasuvaise--
[2011-01-22 15:57:18] <@Insomnia> however did not want their flight vouchers, so Maximilion just grabbed their goods from the baggage claim and everyone including Cafe met up on the ship with Ruy. They got to know the pirate ship, and the pirate Noa Akee Makina.
[2011-01-22 15:58:02] <@Insomnia> They were all led around the ship. Ruy is working in the engine room, and the rest are on deck. A flight capable bubble touched just landed and is shooting Pasuvaise.
[2011-01-22 15:58:18] <@Insomnia> Pasuvaise has a chance to try and actively defend.
[2011-01-22 15:59:51] * Pasuvaise attempts to duck to the side out of the way. Aiming at his head, so hard to hit, is the rationale.
[2011-01-22 16:01:37] <@Insomnia> The shot is so off, that Pasuvaise could have stood completely still and been safe. The Bubble touched curses loudly as the shot goes wide, completely missing the puppet. The party has a chance to act.
[2011-01-22 16:02:06] <@Insomnia> Party order: Maximillion, Cafe, Pasuvaise, Noa, (Ruy), Ship Boarder.
[2011-01-22 16:03:33] * +Maximilian_F fires his pistol from his high up perch, having kept it carefully trained on the Bubble touched as it approached.
[2011-01-22 16:04:33] * Cafe_Au_Lait paused on the first gunshot, but begins running to the deck on the second, a plate of tonight's dessert still in hand.
[2011-01-22 16:04:46] <Cafe_Au_Lait> (ah hit enter too soon)
[2011-01-22 16:07:48] * Pasuvaise bounds closer, eyeing the bubble dragon with a tilted head. "Now before we kill each other, may I ask just what you are trying to accomplish here?" [special counter]]\
[2011-01-22 16:07:49] <@Insomnia> Maximilian's shot is aimed properly and he shoots. The man is fast, but apparently, his quick movement was not as fast as Max's shooting. The target is shot in the left leg for 3 Damage.
[2011-01-22 16:08:39] <@Insomnia> Cafe runs out of the kitchen and into the lobby, running to the deck is an extensive action.
[2011-01-22 16:09:19] <@Insomnia> Pasuvaise does not attack, and instead staves off his action for if he is attacked.
[2011-01-22 16:10:19] <@Insomnia> Noa draws her strange segmented sword, and races towards the gunman. She is fairly slow for her movements, and the distance from the door to the man is greater, so she does not get to attack in this turn.
[2011-01-22 16:12:09] * Ruy on sensing the commotion, leaves the engine room and does a quick pass on the quarters heading to the deck, collecting who is where.
[2011-01-22 16:12:46] <@Insomnia> Ruy is the slowest little bugger, he makes it out of the engine room, and turns towards the stairs, but that's about as far as he gets.
[2011-01-22 16:14:31] <@Insomnia> The bubble touched growls angrily, and snaps his arm up towards Maximilian, and fires. His focus almost entirely at the cat, and the captain.
[2011-01-22 16:15:13] * +Maximilian_F [dodge]s back from the edge of the crow
[2011-01-22 16:15:20] * +Maximilian_F [dodge]s back from the edge of the crow's nest
[2011-01-22 16:16:16] <@Insomnia> The shot is dead on the cat, but his quick movement prevents him from getting shot. He can hear the shot whizzing past his ear.
[2011-01-22 16:18:32] <@Insomnia> Turn loop, Max's again.
[2011-01-22 16:20:45] * Ruy curses.
[2011-01-22 16:21:01] * +Maximilian_F curses under his breath, check his ear for a hole before turning and carefully leaping down from the far end of the crows nest towards the deck
[2011-01-22 16:26:30] <@Insomnia> Maximilian haphazardly leaps into the sail like a crazy person and slides down the fabric and pushes himself off before smacking into arm, and then he sloppily rolls off of the deck of the ship, landing on one foot and swaying before ending up back on both feet completely unhurt.
[2011-01-22 16:27:18] <@Insomnia> Cafe races up the stairs towards the door, almost on the deck. Next turn she opens the door and can act.
[2011-01-22 16:30:36] * Pasuvaise runs at the bubble dragon, charging electricity in his palm to smack him across the torso. [magic I suppose, with electroshock]
[2011-01-22 16:31:30] <@Insomnia> Pasuvaise races towards the bad guy, but he is not fast enough to get there this turn exactly.
[2011-01-22 16:34:27] <@Insomnia> Noa makes it close enough to the guy, slashing her 'sword' way earlier than you would expect. Her glove and hand sparks, and the blade segments and grows longer than you would expect even a spear. The chained together blade segments swooshing towards the assailant.
[2011-01-22 16:35:11] <@Insomnia> Despite how accurate the attack is, the guy drops down and rolls under the blade, avoiding the attack.
[2011-01-22 16:35:33] <@Insomnia> Ruy makes it up the stairs up into the lobby.
[2011-01-22 16:37:08] <@Insomnia> The assassin pops out a knife from one hand, it glimmers with enchantment and he jerks it towards Noa as her segmented sword is still arcing.
[2011-01-22 16:37:36] <@Insomnia> Critical Hit!
[2011-01-22 16:39:42] <@Insomnia> The pirate takes a stab to the right foot with the knife, she grimaces and takes 3 points of damage. Not even getting a chance to even try and defend herself.
[2011-01-22 16:39:54] <@Insomnia> Turn loop, Max starts.
[2011-01-22 16:42:28] * +Maximilian_F grins at his clumsy manuever, then takes his standard stance and fires another round at the invader with his knife at the ready should they come closer..
[2011-01-22 16:44:22] <@Insomnia> Maximilian raises his gun and knife back into battle ready after his expert acrobatic maneuver down the sail to the deck and all. Out goes the bullet, railing towards the assailant just after the foot stab.
[2011-01-22 16:44:28] <@Insomnia> Critical Hit!
[2011-01-22 16:46:41] <@Insomnia> Maximilian shoots the touched in the arm. The bullet carrying straight through as he barely holds on to his knife, dealing 6 damage as his blood spatters across the deck.
[2011-01-22 16:49:55] * Cafe_Au_Lait throws open the door to the deck, taking little stock of the situation she rushes towards the melee, getting ready to loose a plate of confectionaries onto the new face.
[2011-01-22 16:50:40] <@Insomnia> Cafe races towards the enemy, it will take another turn to get there, the real question is why she isn't in the kitchen.
[2011-01-22 16:54:22] * Pasuvaise bounds at the dragon, and drives his crackling open palm towards the dragon's chest.
[2011-01-22 16:56:27] <@Insomnia> Pasuvaise bounds towards the dragon and pauls the air violently, electricity zapping about and forward, but unfortunately, he's missed the bleeding gunman.
[2011-01-22 16:58:21] <@Insomnia> Noa's blade is still swirling about through the air, she almost seems to dance, her blade twirling around with her actions, she snaps it forward again, carrying the wild blade bits back towards him, although she does have a limp with her stabbed foot.
[2011-01-22 17:00:00] <@Insomnia> Despite the dead on blade whip, and favoring his injured arm, Noa's exotic weapon wooshes through the air once again as he sidesteps the attack.
[2011-01-22 17:00:17] <@Insomnia> Ruy almost makes it to the other stairs, huff huff.
[2011-01-22 17:02:54] <@Insomnia> He spins and shoots at Maximilian once more, moving towards the edge of the ship.
[2011-01-22 17:05:16] * +Maximilian_F [dodge]s with a quick step to the side, maintaining his careful battle pose
[2011-01-22 17:05:38] <@Insomnia> The quick kitty quicksteps and avoids the accurate gunshot.
[2011-01-22 17:05:50] <@Insomnia> Turn loop, Max's go.
[2011-01-22 17:08:54] * +Maximilian_F takes a couple slow steps closer then fires another shot, the cat baring his teeth and growling angrily at them "What do you want with us?"
[2011-01-22 17:09:58] <@Insomnia> Critical Dodge!
[2011-01-22 17:11:57] <@Insomnia> The bubble touched assassin type fellow gives a half run towards Max, and he drops down to the floor and slides across the floor under the gunshot, and throws his foot into Max's leg, sending him barreling straight into the floor as the guy ends up back to his feet. Max takes no damage, but has a severe penalty to actions except for Get Up next turn.
[2011-01-22 17:13:55] * Cafe_Au_Lait shouts "I think he's just hungry" at the top of her lungs as she brings the pie to bear on the intruder
[2011-01-22 17:17:28] <@Insomnia> Critical Failure.
[2011-01-22 17:18:34] <@Insomnia> Cafe reels back and hurls the pie. It goes about five feet and squishes onto the deck of the ship. Everyone else wonders what the hell she is doing.
[2011-01-22 17:18:54] <Cafe_Au_Lait> "aw shucks"
[2011-01-22 17:22:45] <@Insomnia> "Don't be so pie-us, Cafe!"
[2011-01-22 17:25:28] * Pasuvaise shows incredible ingenuity in trying exactly what he just failed to do, again! [magic, stun] this time, he swipes his arms wide towards the dragon. Might put him off balance, but worth it. [all out +4 accuracy]
[2011-01-22 17:25:55] <@Insomnia> Critical Hit.
[2011-01-22 17:29:25] <@Insomnia> Pasuvaise grabs ahold of the guy and electrocutes the hell out of him. Not only does this stun the guy, but it deals 12 damage. The stun seems unimportant however, when the guy collapes to the ground, bleeding out his mouth and his body smoking. Unconcious and probably dying.
[2011-01-22 17:29:38] <@Insomnia> Ruy makes it up the stairs and throws open the door.
[2011-01-22 17:29:46] <@Insomnia> Combat over.
[2011-01-22 17:29:51] <Pasuvaise> "..Oh dear. Perhaps I went too far."
[2011-01-22 17:30:20] <Ruy> I heard some fighting ..
[2011-01-22 17:30:29] <@Insomnia> Noa resets her sword and sheathes it.
[2011-01-22 17:30:45] <@Insomnia> "Good work everyone."
[2011-01-22 17:30:48] <Cafe_Au_Lait> "I wonder what he wanted..."
[2011-01-22 17:31:15] <Pasuvaise> "Perhaps we should restrain him, and stitch him up a bit?"
[2011-01-22 17:31:15] * Ruy hides his tail behind his leg.
[2011-01-22 17:31:45] * +Maximilian_F rubs his shin as he gets up, "Damn, nice Pasu. He looks messed up" He sheaths his knife but keeps his gun trained on him as he walks over to the toasted Bubble touched and experimentally taps it with his foot.
[2011-01-22 17:31:52] <Cafe_Au_Lait> "Mmm.."
[2011-01-22 17:32:20] * Pasuvaise sets about administering to the poor fellow's wounds.
[2011-01-22 17:32:24] <@Insomnia> Noa limps around with bloody foot to help Max up to his feet and looks at the dying guy.
[2011-01-22 17:32:41] <Pasuvaise> "Noa, would you happen to have a first aid kit on your ship?"
[2011-01-22 17:33:03] <@Insomnia> Pasuvaise cannot help the dying, he doesn't know how to manage the wounds.
[2011-01-22 17:33:27] * Cafe_Au_Lait notices the pie she ruined on the deck. "Oh gosh, I plum forgot. Dinner is ready!"
[2011-01-22 17:34:54] * +Maximilian_F sighs "Pasu, why don't you try to help the Bubble who didn't try to kill us?" He points towards Noa's injured foot.
[2011-01-22 17:35:07] * Ruy cannot hide his unease on sight of the defeated dragon.
[2011-01-22 17:35:24] <Pasuvaise> "Because she doesn't need it, of course."
[2011-01-22 17:36:02] <@Insomnia> "Why would I not need it, I got stabbed in the foot!"
[2011-01-22 17:37:12] * Pasuvaise speaks to Noa before addressing the dragon. "Ah, I suppose you would need it, then. Well, I can't do anything for this one, sorry mister, I'm afraid I just don't know how to stop you dying."
[2011-01-22 17:37:34] * Pasuvaise stands and goes to look at Noa's foot (if she'll let him of course)
[2011-01-22 17:37:46] <@Insomnia> "How's the engine doing, Ruy? Don't worry, it wasn't a big deal. It's about as bad as I stepped on a nail currently."
[2011-01-22 17:39:26] <@Insomnia> Pasuvaise spends a couple minutes working on Noa's foot. He heals 2 life, and cleans up the wound, and bandages her foot.
[2011-01-22 17:39:39] * +Maximilian_F notices Ruy's unease and shrugs "He flew up here and shot at us, not a word out of him either. Only way to handle it."
[2011-01-22 17:39:53] <Ruy> The engine's fine ..
[2011-01-22 17:40:08] <Cafe_Au_Lait> "Search his stuff i guess."
[2011-01-22 17:40:37] * Cafe_Au_Lait looks for something to clean the mess she just made
[2011-01-22 17:41:18] <@Insomnia> Cafe gets a mop and cleans up the deck slowly of the pie and blood.
[2011-01-22 17:41:29] * +Maximilian_F crouches and pats the Bubble Touched down, checking for anything useful that didn't get fried.
[2011-01-22 17:41:30] * Pasuvaise addresses Noa, looking at the dying dragon. "Does this happen often?"
[2011-01-22 17:41:43] <@Insomnia> "Thank you, Pasuvaise. And good work, Ruy."
[2011-01-22 17:41:57] <@Insomnia> "I can't say it happens often, no."
[2011-01-22 17:43:34] <Pasuvaise> "Strange. Have you a plan for dealing with the corpse?"
[2011-01-22 17:44:22] * Ruy straightens at the question.
[2011-01-22 17:44:44] <@Insomnia> Besides the Applesin Gun, and the Huang knife, the fellow's bulky and now broken armor, even the goggles are shattered, he is carrying papers.
[2011-01-22 17:46:04] <@Insomnia> Two of them, rolled up scrolls or posters.
[2011-01-22 17:46:44] <Cafe_Au_Lait> "ooh those look important"
[2011-01-22 17:47:30] * +Maximilian_F hands the rolled up papers to Noa and inspects the weapons "Ooo~, mind if I take these capn?" :3
[2011-01-22 17:48:29] <@Insomnia> "I don't use them, but maybe someone else does, I don't know there." The captain carefully unrolls the posters and laughs, turning them around for the rest to see.
[2011-01-22 17:49:40] <@Insomnia> They're Bounty posters, for MAX THE NASTY and THE PIRATE WITH NO-NAME. Each adorned with vicious mugshots of the two. Especially Maximilian's. Max is going for about 2,000 Rays, whilst Noa's mug is only about 800.
[2011-01-22 17:49:58] * +Maximilian_F whistles innocently
[2011-01-22 17:50:47] * Cafe_Au_Lait bursts into laughter "Boy howdy, a real couple'a outlaws we got here."
[2011-01-22 17:51:13] <@Insomnia> "Man what did you do, Maximilian?"
[2011-01-22 17:51:51] * +Maximilian_F takes the gun and knife for himself, putting them next to his original ones then checking the Bubble Touched again for any ammo for the gun. "Oh nothing that bad, just a life of crime and thievery..."
[2011-01-22 17:54:16] * Ruy scans the skies. "Hunters, is it ?"
[2011-01-22 17:55:41] <Pasuvaise> "I never took you for a  pirate, mister Max. Our current situation not withstanding."
[2011-01-22 17:56:22] <+Maximilian_F> "Oh I'm not a pirate... well I wasn't I guess I am now. I guess you could call me a cat burgalar"
[2011-01-22 17:56:28] * +Maximilian_F pauses for comedic effect
[2011-01-22 17:56:49] * Cafe_Au_Lait nods. "Looks like we'll be getting more visitors"
[2011-01-22 17:57:43] <Pasuvaise> "Perhaps a disguise of some sort is in order."
[2011-01-22 17:58:44] <Cafe_Au_Lait> "mmm.."
[2011-01-22 17:58:51] * Ruy on getting the joke, cringes slightly.
[2011-01-22 17:59:03] <Cafe_Au_Lait> "I dont think we'll be able to disguise an airship, hon."
[2011-01-22 18:00:22] <Ruy> Maybe we just might ..
[2011-01-22 18:01:21] <@Insomnia> "I bet the fellow saw us at the airport. We have more to worry about on the ground than we do in flight usually. Unless we go near the rainbow islands. Airships more common there."
[2011-01-22 18:02:46] <@Insomnia> Noa drops the posters unless someone wants them. She gets up to her feet.
[2011-01-22 18:03:06] <@Insomnia> "Well let's all eat. Hopefully Cafe didn't throw everything on the floor."
[2011-01-22 18:03:30] * +Maximilian_F shakes his head as his joke flops, "So what do we do with this guy? Just toss him over the edge?" He takes his own poster and pockets it, rather liking the slightly evil look
[2011-01-22 18:04:37] <Cafe_Au_Lait> "Might send a message to the other hunters. Might tell them to bring more next time.."
[2011-01-22 18:04:44] <@Insomnia> "I don't care, but he's going to shit himself soon so somebody do it quicker rather than later."
[2011-01-22 18:05:20] <+Maximilian_F> "Not it!"
[2011-01-22 18:05:31] * Ruy crosses his arms.
[2011-01-22 18:05:42] <Cafe_Au_Lait> "I'm already mopping"
[2011-01-22 18:05:46] * Pasuvaise walks to the corpse and picks it up.
[2011-01-22 18:06:45] * Pasuvaise looks around the ship, and down below, wondering at the possibilities.
[2011-01-22 18:07:23] <@Insomnia> "Throwing it overboard sounds good to me, maybe Ruy might want his broken equipment."
[2011-01-22 18:08:47] * Ruy is both unnerved and attracted to the idea. He approaches Pasu to inspect the body.
[2011-01-22 18:09:06] * Pasuvaise happily holds the body up to Ruy, so he can inspect it better.
[2011-01-22 18:09:07] <Ruy> ..
[2011-01-22 18:09:35] <@Insomnia> Critical Science!
[2011-01-22 18:09:46] <@Insomnia> Ruy can certainly make use of that gear.
[2011-01-22 18:10:20] * Pasuvaise nakedfies the dragon.
[2011-01-22 18:11:24] <@Insomnia> Ruy acquires broken steampunk armor and helmet. The equipment covers all but the hands if restored.
[2011-01-22 18:11:55] <@Insomnia> Pasuvaise is holding an almost naked dead guy with orange scales.
[2011-01-22 18:12:13] <Pasuvaise> "Is that all?"
[2011-01-22 18:12:20] <Pasuvaise> (and are we over water?)
[2011-01-22 18:12:35] <@Insomnia> If by water you mean desert, then yes.
[2011-01-22 18:12:37] * +Maximilian_F snickers "I wonder if this will make my bounty higher"
[2011-01-22 18:13:31] * Cafe_Au_Lait nods to the dead bubble "Depends on his reputation."
[2011-01-22 18:14:32] <@Insomnia> Noa puts her boot back on and begins strolling towards the mess hall.
[2011-01-22 18:15:24] * Cafe_Au_Lait hustles on down to prepare to serve everyone.
[2011-01-22 18:15:33] * +Maximilian_F sniffs and smiles wide "Oh right! Food's on!" He jogs over to the mess hall and checks out what Cafe whipped up
[2011-01-22 18:15:35] * Pasuvaise looks at the body for interesting parts.
[2011-01-22 18:16:40] * Pasuvaise drops the body off the side. "Farewell!"
[2011-01-22 18:16:58] * Ruy spends a little more time on the deck, holding the articles and watching Pasu. He turns and heads for the stairs
[2011-01-22 18:16:58] * Pasuvaise walks to the mess hall with everyone else.
[2011-01-22 18:18:07] <@Insomnia> Pasuvaise tosses the body off of the side to the soft noise of what an onlooker might compare to Fwiffo firing off a gun. Ruy stands there with all the parts for a while.
[2011-01-22 18:25:53] <@Insomnia> Everyone sits around the table, There are actually about Ten seats, Noa sits in the more elaborate captain's chair. There are four seats along either side, and one at the opposite end, which is the same as the other 8 normal chairs.
[2011-01-22 18:26:55] * +Maximilian_F takes a seat to Noa's left, rubbing his hands together and licking his lips hungrily.
[2011-01-22 18:27:53] * Pasuvaise sits down in one of the seats at the side,
[2011-01-22 18:28:49] * Ruy sits to Noa's right. Excited it was not taken.
[2011-01-22 18:31:39] <@Insomnia> Cafe serves everyone scant but delicious looking orders of pancakes with custom made buttery like syrup served over it already. The pantry and ingrediants were scant, but it all looked fluffy and delicious. Just enough for everyone to eat okay.
[2011-01-22 18:34:20] * +Maximilian_F thanks Cafe and digs in, the cat loving it since hadn't had a decent meal in ever
[2011-01-22 18:35:11] * Cafe_Au_Lait cant help but smile around large bites of pancake
[2011-01-22 18:36:43] * Ruy focuses on Max and Cafe, not yet taking a bit. The food and atmosphere is reasurring. He takes a second to unwind and begins eating.
[2011-01-22 18:39:01] <@Insomnia> Noa eats slowly, and kind of distant as she watchers her new crew.
[2011-01-22 18:39:35] <@Insomnia> Ruy eats in a manner completely unlike everyone else at the table. Using the proper utensils and sides and everything. Cutting and eating his food properly, and without a mess.
[2011-01-22 18:40:22] <@Insomnia> By that time however, Max is mowing the last of his food. Empty plate.
[2011-01-22 18:41:26] * +Maximilian_F licks it clean and smiles brightly
[2011-01-22 18:41:54] * Ruy forces a smile in max
[2011-01-22 18:42:12] * Pasuvaise eats slowly.
[2011-01-22 18:42:13] * Ruy in Max's direction.
[2011-01-22 18:44:46] <@Insomnia> "I thought you said you were an ok or poor cook, Cafe, you've definitely made something impressive. A pity we don't have much food, we're going to need to try and get groceries so you can cook more."
[2011-01-22 18:46:56] <Cafe_Au_Lait> " Aw shucks ma'am. I cook as well as the recipes my pappy taught me, other than that. Well I cook what i can find."
[2011-01-22 18:47:52] <Ruy> My compliments to the chef.
[2011-01-22 18:48:25] * Cafe_Au_Lait twirls her fork. "But if'n another uninvited guest shows up y'all hollar and i'll show you how i serve some hurt"
[2011-01-22 18:48:36] <@Insomnia> "Ruy you certainly eat like a gentleman."
[2011-01-22 18:49:04] <@Insomnia> "Are you a clown, Cafe, or is pie throwing not your usual method of attack."
[2011-01-22 18:49:10] * +Maximilian_F sets his plate down "Very nice Cafe, thank you for the meal" :3
[2011-01-22 18:49:24] <@Insomnia> "Who is doing the dishes?"
[2011-01-22 18:49:33] * Ruy holds back several inappropriate responses.
[2011-01-22 18:50:24] * Cafe_Au_Lait shovels her last bite of pancake into her mouth in lieu of a response to the crack, but raises her hand for the dishes
[2011-01-22 18:50:54] <Ruy> Habit from my youth ..
[2011-01-22 18:53:40] <@Insomnia> "Well I guess Cafe is the heart of the kitchen now. From what I can tell we're going to need to land soon. So Ruy you can work on your parts or work on the engine, it's up to you. I need Max and Pasuvaise topside as we prepare to land."
[2011-01-22 18:55:01] *** Starit quit ( )
[2011-01-22 18:56:37] * Pasuvaise nods and stands up, heading for the door.
[2011-01-22 18:56:41] <Ruy> I'll get to repairing parts, maybe in time for bringing with.
[2011-01-22 18:56:53] * Cafe_Au_Lait picks up the plates and goes to scrubs scrub scrub
[2011-01-22 18:58:15] <@Insomnia> "Then let's get to it. We arrive in Tulips city in about an hour. It's not the friendliest place to be either."
[2011-01-22 19:02:58] * +Maximilian_F follows Pasu, getting the ship ready for landing.
[2011-01-22 19:06:51] * Pasuvaise ship get ready for landing! Hopefully doing it right.
[2011-01-22 19:07:45] * Cafe_Au_Lait whistles something slow and somber while she works.
[2011-01-22 19:08:38] <@Insomnia> Noa gets up from her seat and prepares to leave the mess hall to go be a captain.
[2011-01-22 19:10:29] * Ruy leans towards Noa. "Bust that foot kicking ass ?"
