Maid Zeppelin 3

[03:08] <04[GM]Cerise> Morning. The weather has cleared  a little, but it looks like it'll be coming  down again sometime soon. Only a mountain range stands between the blimp and its destination.
06[03:11] * %Patricia yawns, poking Mikhail next to her in a haze of sleepiness.
06[03:14] * [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh pilots unceasingly, allowing the narrative to go back to Patty.
06[03:14] * [Pyg]Mikhail mumbles gibberish at being poked and rolls on his side.
[03:15] <09%Patricia> 14Mik... hey, Mikhail...
06[03:15] * %Patricia pulls herself closer, whispering in his ear.
[03:16] <09%Patricia> 14I got an idea... let's sleep in...
06[03:16] * [Pyg]Mikhail seems to have been stirred awake but doesn't open his eyes.
[03:16] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> In...where...?
[03:17] <09%Patricia> 14In bed, dummy.
06[03:17] * %Patricia slides herself off, giving some space.
[03:18] <09%Patricia> I'm not feeling too good... I'm gonna try to sleep it off for now.
[03:21] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> Not feeling good?
06[03:22] * [Pyg]Mikhail seems to have been woken up by this. He sits up and puts a hand on Patricia's forehead.
[03:22] <09%Patricia> mmmnnno.
06[03:23] * %Patricia is a little warm.
06[03:24] * [Pyg]Mikhail puts his free hand on his own forehead.
[03:24] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> Ahh, that's no good.
06[03:26] * [Pyg]Mikhail is now wide awake out of concern. He gets up out of bed, lifting Patricia's head up and sliding another pillow under then pulling the sheets up to her neck.
[03:26] <09%Patricia> 14ack... hey, cut it out, I'm not dying or anything.
[03:30] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> Your health hasn't been the best and I'm not taking any chances, so just relax.
06[03:30] * [Pyg]Mikhail stands for a moment wondering what to do.
[03:30] <09%Patricia> I get like this pretty often... it's just a bother, that's all. It'll probably clear up before lunch.
06[03:33] * [Pyg]Mikhail can't hear her as he thinks. He finally looks like he came to a decision.
[03:33] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> Okay, so...uh...just relax, I'll be back, I promise!
06[03:33] * [Pyg]Mikhail heads out of his room, down the hall, and toward the bridge.
[03:38] <04[GM]Cerise> Mikhail arrives at the bridge where a  quiet Marrakesh continues to steer the ship.
[03:40] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> Ah! Finally someone who's awake!
06[03:40] * [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh looks over.
[03:51] <[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh> GREETING: Good morning, Master Mikoyan. Have you slept well?
[03:54] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> Yeah, but Patchy's come down with a little fever, think you can help me get some treatment ready? You know soup and some medicinal tea and all that?
06[03:59] * [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh |Secondary crewman Patricia James in reduced condition 4MEDICINAL PROTOCOLS NOT FOUND |
[04:00] <[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh> REPLY: ...I will consult the chef and ask what he suggests. I am not programmed for minor remedial aid, unfortunately.
[04:03] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> Should I be concerned about that?
[04:06] <[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh> ASSURANCE: Not at all, Master. If you would like me to devote extra cycles of my down time to learning basic care and maintenance of the human condition, I will do so. I have encountered such situations before when the knowledge would have been useful.
[04:08] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> Yeah, I guess that would be a good idea. You're one of the few onboard that doesn't succumb to sickness.
06[04:09] * [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh nods.
[04:09] <[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh> ACKNOWLEDGMENT: By your word, Master Mikoyan, it shall be done.
[04:11] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> Uh, how close are we to the next city? I might as well ask since I'm here.
[04:17] <[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh> POSITION: We are seventy-nine miles from Lionsgate City, Master Mikoyan. Do you wish to set down there?
[04:17] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> Please do.
[04:17] <04[Pyg]Mikhail> How much time til we get there?
[04:22] <[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh> ESTIMATION: Approximately seventeen minutes, plus fifteen to thirty more for docking procedures. It is a fairly busy port.
[04:31] <04[GM]Cerise> So, Patricia's still sick. Will her darling master help her get better? We'll see next time!
00[04:32] * Marysleep tackles Cerise. Again.
[04:32] <04Pygmalion> Ah! A sleeping torpedo!
00[04:34] <02Marysleep> I'mmm not sllep...
[04:36] <04[GM]Cerise> Yes you are.

@@LATER

[23:59]	<[GM]Aleksandra>	The Iolanta begins docking procedure upon arriving at Lionsgate City. The master hangs around the bridge overseeing the landing.
[00:00]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	REPORT: Decelerating to 10 kilometers per hour. Releasing mooring lines.
[00:01]	* [huh]Milia	sits on a table, kicking her feet idly.
[00:01]	* [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh	flicks a few metal switches and holds the wheel steadily.
[00:02]	* Patricia	remains in bed.
[00:07]	* [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh	eases the throttle down slowly, bringing the Iolanta to a halt in its docking cradle as dock workers scramble and scurry, lashing down the craft securely.
[00:07]	<[huh]Milia>	Such diligent little men~
[00:07]	* [huh]Milia	watches them go to and fro.
[00:08]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"Were you paying attention to the docking procedure, Milia?"
[00:09]	<[huh]Milia>	You mean what Mary was doing?
[00:09]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"Uhh, yes."
[00:09]	<[huh]Milia>	Sort of. Whas I supposed to?
[00:10]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"I think you ought to, since you're, you know, supposed to be learning to steer this ship someday."
[00:11]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	lets out a sigh.
[00:11]	<[huh]Milia>	Oh, riight.
[00:11]	* [huh]Milia	bumps herself on the head with a fist.
[00:11]	<[huh]Milia>	I'll pay attention better next time, Mikey.
[00:16]	<[huh]Milia>	Is that fine?
[00:16]	<[huh]Milia>	I mean, I think I got most of it, though...
[00:16]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"Well, you two better get ready to disembark."
[00:16]	<[huh]Milia>	Righty~
[00:17]	* [huh]Milia	pads off to get some things.
[00:18]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	UPDATE: The craft is docked and secured, Master Mikoyan.
[00:19]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"Very good, you should go get ready to disembark with Milia to get Patchy's medicine."
[00:25]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"I'll...uh...get a list together of what Patchy needs."
[00:25]	* [huh]Milia	reappears a few minutes later.
[00:25]	<[huh]Milia>	Ready when you are~
[00:29]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	UPDATE: We are waiting for Master Mikoyan to return with a list of Miss James' required items and medicines. If you have anything you have forgotten to procure for an outing, now would be a fortunate time to remember them.
[00:29]	* Patricia	throws a blanket around herself and begins wandering around, barefoot.
[00:29]	<[huh]Milia>	I've forgotten nothing~
[00:32]	* Patricia	looks for Mikhail and the others. Wasn't he... doing... something?
[00:34]	<[GM]Aleksandra>	Milia and Marrakesh notice someone shuffling about.
[00:35]	<[huh]Milia>	Oh? Patty!
[00:35]	* Patricia	shuffles about.
[00:35]	* [huh]Milia	waves.
[00:35]	* Patricia	squints. She's forgotten her glasses.
[00:35]	<[huh]Milia>	We've landed.
[00:36]	<Patricia>	Ah...
[00:36]	* Patricia	tips back.
[00:37]	<Patricia>	Yes, it seems we have. Where's Mikhail?
[00:37]	<[huh]Milia>	He's making a list of the things we need to get.
[00:37]	<[huh]Milia>	Dunno where.
[00:38]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	...
[00:38]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	QUERY: Was he not with you, Miss James?
[00:39]	<Patricia>	He was not.
[00:41]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	INSTRUCTION: Please wait here while I fetch him.
[00:41]	* [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh	pauses slightly, and notes Patricia's lack of glassiness
[00:42]	* Patricia	isn't lacking 'glassiness' at all, but is indeed missing her eyeglasses.
[00:44]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	SECONDARY QUERY: While locating the master, shall I retrieve your glasses as well, Miss James?
[00:44]	<Patricia>	Ah, yes, please.
[00:44]	* [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh	nods, and sets off.
[00:45]	* [huh]Milia	turns to Patricia after a bit of silence.
[00:45]	<[huh]Milia>	Felling okay?
[00:46]	<Patricia>	I feel fine.
[00:46]	* Patricia	coughs.
[00:46]	<[huh]Milia>	Don't sound fine.
[00:47]	<Patricia>	Sounds can be deceiving.
[00:47]	* Patricia	finds a place to sit.
[00:47]	<[huh]Milia>	I see~
[00:50]	* [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh	searches for the Master.
[00:50]	<[GM]Aleksandra>	Marrakesh runs into the master in the hallway, he's holding a piece of paper.
[00:52]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"O-oh, Marrakesh..."
[00:53]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	REPLY: Yes, master?
[00:53]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"Were you looking for me?"
[00:56]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	RESPONSE: Yes, master.
[00:56]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"Ah, yes, well, here you go."
[00:57]	* [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh	accepts the sheet of paper.
[00:57]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Thank you, Master Mikoyan. Will you be coming with us?
[00:58]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"W-with...you...? You mean...outside?"
[01:07]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"N...no. I'd, um, rather not..."
[01:17]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	QUERY: I see. Would you prefer the finances and spending be left to Miss Gantzholm? I would highly advise against such an action.
[01:20]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	's face screws up. It almost looks like he's willing to risk his money just so he can stay indoors.
[01:25]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	scratches his head in mild irritation.
[01:25]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	SUGGESTION: ...If you insist on continuing to isolate yourself from the world, I will take over finances.
[01:26]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	PROPOSAL: Is this acceptable?
[01:26]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"H-hey, you can't do that...I'm the master here!"
[01:27]	* [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh	blinks once.
[01:28]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"Gah! Fine! Fine, I'll go!"
[01:29]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	CLARIFICATION: I was referring to this being for the duration of this outing, Master Mikoyan. However, your acquiescence is no doubt highly appreciated by all the crew and will certainly be a morale booster. You have chosen ...wisely.
[01:30]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	heaves a sigh.
[01:30]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"I'll get my coat."
[01:31]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	NOTIFICATION: Excellent. Misses Gantzholm and James are on the bridge, preparing to disembark. I must first retrieve Miss James' glasses, and then I shall return.
[01:34]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"If it's her glasses, they're probably in my room."
[01:44]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	RESPONSE: Are they? I shall look there, then.
[01:36]	* Patricia	has since returned to her room to get her things herself. She gets dressed, donning her lucky PJ pin, but can't seem to find her glasses...
[01:44]	<[GM]Aleksandra>	Everyone gets their preparations done and gather together in the bridge.
[01:46]	<[huh]Milia>	Took ya long enough~
[01:49]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"Yeah, well..."
[01:49]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	makes sure his hat is properly on his head and hiding his face.
[01:51]	* Patricia	clears her throat and sneaks her hand into Mikhail's.
[01:51]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"A-are you sure you want to go out? You should stay home and rest!"
[01:52]	<Patricia>	I'll be fine.
[01:53]	* [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh	pulls a lever, activating the loading ramp, and opening the hatch to the cargo hold.
[01:54]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	flinches at the feel of the outside air rushing in. It's chilly.
[01:55]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	turns to Patricia again.
[01:55]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"You really sure you want to go outside with the weather like this?"
[01:56]	<Patricia>	Positive.
[01:57]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	sighs as his last attempt to stay indoors gets shot down.
[01:57]	* Patricia	leans in on Mikhail a little closer.
[01:58]	<[huh]Milia>	Wait, is Mikey coming with us?
[01:58]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	STATUS: The temperature outside is 18 degrees celsius. Humidity is well within tolerable levels. The weather is partially cloudy with a chance of thunderstorms in the later evening. The time is currently 2:17 pm.
[01:58]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	almost groans out his answer.
[01:58]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"Yes, Milia, I'm going outside."
[01:59]	* [Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh	smiles ever so slightly. It disappears very quickly.
[01:59]	<[huh]Milia>	Really?
[01:59]	* [huh]Milia	's eyes shine.
[02:03]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	nods slowly.
[02:06]	<[huh]Milia>	Ah, it's a special occasion, then!
[02:06]	<[huh]Milia>	We'll have to show Mikey around!
[02:09]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"A-around...?"
[02:10]	<Patricia>	Hmm.
[02:11]	<Patricia>	Excuse me, Marrakesh? Would you happen to know of any tourist destinations or special places to see in Lionsgate?
[02:13]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	REPLY: I know of some, yes. Would you like to visit them, Miss James?
[02:13]	<[huh]Milia>	Oh, oh, that would be great!
[02:14]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"But her fever..."
[02:15]	<[huh]Milia>	Right...
[02:15]	* Patricia	clears her throat loudly again.
[02:15]	<Patricia>	Yes, indeed, I would.
[02:17]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	QUERY: Then we shall visit them if time permits. ...On that note, Master Mikoyan, how long do you expect our stay to last?
[02:19]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"As...soon as the rest get the maintenance and fueling done, I'd say. And as soon as we get that medicine too..."
[02:19]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	rubs his head. Why do women always make things longer than they should be?
[02:20]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"We made a stop pretty recently so...maybe just 2 days."
[02:21]	<[Atai]NineOClock_to_Marrakesh>	COMMENTARY:More than enough time for business and pleasure alike, then. This will make matters go more smoothly.
[02:25]	<Patricia>	Come on, Mikhail. Who knows, you might just accidentally have some fun.
[02:26]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"I don't know about that."
[02:26]	* [pyGM]Mikhail	shudders from the chill.
[02:27]	* Patricia	sighs, and smiles at Mikhail.
[02:28]	<Patricia>	I got a prediction for you.
[02:33]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"What would that be?"
[02:34]	<Patricia>	Hmmm...
[02:37]	<Patricia>	On second thought, I think it would be better if you were to wait and see.
[02:38]	* Patricia	teases, rubbing her elbow into Mikhail's side.
[02:38]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"Leading me on as usu--Oh!"
[02:39]	<[huh]Milia>	So, are we going?
[02:40]	* [huh]Milia	is impatient.
[02:41]	<Patricia>	Yes.
[02:41]	* Patricia	takes the first step...
[02:42]	<[pyGM]Mikhail>	"Yeah, yeah, we're going..."
[02:47]	<[GM]Aleksandra>	And so a tour of Lionsgate City begins, with a hermit master and sickly maid in tow. See you next time!
