Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

The guards salute you as you pass, and everything else is as you ordered it.
At least there are no troubles here...

 

Once I reach the courtyard, I fly over to the Airship Docks.

 

Abigail puts out her hair, instead hovering slightly with her boots to provide light. She picks up the comb of seashells and starts coming her hair, "So you were in a wooden body at one point, big whoop, no need to wet yourself over it." Abigail says.

OOC: Well...

Katie half resembles a fountain, spitting out water at the sight of Rineth in surprise.

"Stephanie's having trouble with Thirteen at the moment, so you should probably wait a bit." Artemis says.

"You'd be pretty mean to take advantage of her emotionally vulnerable state." I add.

 

"It was a nightmare. I couldn't feel anything. I felt...lifeless, like I was just a random rock that nobody cared about. At least as a flower I could feel things."

 

Retract statement about no troubles.
There are twice the guards and watchmen, and it's clear to see that there's five missing airships.

"Ah, then I guess I'll hold off on asking how 'wake up Ihra to heal me' got translated to 'put me out of my misery' in the fight against Nyre I'd died."

 

I land near one of the guards.
"Get me the supervisor! I want an explanation from him immediately!" I say, clearly frustrated.
OOC: Damn, Rineth is really funny as of late.

 

"Oh please, we all know you're just a husk incapable of feeling any kind of joy." Abigail says, combing her hair. The low light coming from her feet really brings out her features.

"What? I don't remember anything like that." Artemis asks, confused.

"Are you saying Stephanie killed you? If you have a problem with Stephanie, you have a problem with me. The wee lass is innocent." I say, my voice changing accent.

Artemis laughs slightly.

 

OOC: Are you seriously trying to get my character to fall in love with Abigail? Cause that's sort of the vibe I'm getting off of this.
"As if. " DH replies sarcastically.

 

"Uuuh, y-yes sir!"
They run off, and in a moment, a nervous looking supervisor returns with the guard.
"Sir, all we know is that they're gone. They just vanish mid-flight; in the middle of day, no less! No warning, no trace!"

"I'm saying the last thing I remember feeling is the limbs of Stephanie's golem on my spine coming in contact with my scales, my neck shattering, and then everything went black. I don't have a problem with her, but I'm legitimately confused. I could've sworn I yelled at you guys to wake Ihra up to heal the holes burned into me."

 

"Where is the full report?! Have you no regard for protocol?! Get that report ready up, pronto! I want to know their time of departure, estimated time of arrival, crewmembers, captains, load, destination and time of last contact!"

 

"Again, Eras is hiding something about her. And probably yes."

OOC: Pokémon, right? Beedrill and Emolga (I think it was that thing? Either that or Pachirisu)?
---
"That looks interesting... haven't seen anything like those two. They're also smaller than most monsters I've seen."
---
This is an interesting experience, I think.

 

"That's the crazier thing! All that info? Gone! Anyone who knew it? Gone! Time of last contact? Gone!"

And suddenly giant dragon.
"Anna, we won't hurt you, promi- What just...?"

 

Anna says, "You have a giant dragon? That's interesting.

 

I lift him up into the air without touching him, and then put him back on the ground. "I want tighter security around here and Maximus Industria. These airships are completely vital to the Perniciosan society. I want no more airships lost, understood? I also want a full shakedown of all staff, guards, and lookouts here in the docks. Interrogate anyone harboring suspicious activities."

 

"I... Don't know, actually. The whole group is a bit unique."

A small, snowy-colored dragonling runs up to Anna and sniffs at her.
"Avis! Girl, where are you- oh? I don't think we've met. Are you with Ihra?"

________________________________

"Sir, we already did that. Interrogations of everyone. Torture. Full inventory check. Record of personal belongings. Redoubled the guards three times. Asked for sightings from other regions. Something beyond me is at play here. I promise we're doing everything we can to keep what operations we still have running."

 

"This calls for drastic measures. Dismissed."
I then fly off to where the Chief of the Army is.

 

They bow to you as you fly off.

...
Upon arrival, the Chief looks at you, flustered.
"Pardon the assumption, but is this about the airships?"

 

"You could say I am, though I haven't even said a word to her yet."
She kneels down next to Avis to stroke her.

 

Avis purrs, nuzzling Anna's knee.
"Oh... What about that man with you?"

The draconian and Reed exchange brief words in another language.

 

"He's... uhh... I haven't really asked anyone's name yet. I only know some people's names because I examined them earlier."

"Can't remember your name right now... but I've seen you before. I'm Daras."
