A cry for help

[a distress call has been tracked across the void, finally leading back to the source. a hulking crippled ship, teeming with hostile alien life, now lies before you.

what do you do? do you dive in or hang back? are you here to learn, play, build, or observe?

however you choose to proceed, your audience is out there somewhere, watching.]



ooc: here is a good ol' themed mingle to get you all started! and don't feel limited by the prompts and what they describe--they're just there as idea-starters, so feel free to go anywhere and do anything.

have fun!

[Isabela quickly darts ahead of Hawke to take care of any of their bloodthirsty friends Aveline doesn't get to first.]

Does Donnic always use your title, Guard Captain? Your bedroom activities are starting to sound much more exciting than I give them credit for.

[She pauses then to pry her dagger from a particularly stubborn exoskeleton, luckily the last alive of their current attackers.]

You know, I don't think anyone did tell them. There don't seem to be nearly enough to go around.

That's not the same and you know it. He does call me Guard Captain when we're on duty.

[... actually, ouch. She wishes he was here. Everything would still be stupid but she'd at least have him to go home to. But nope, now is the time to focus on shooting things. And not accidentally shooting Isabela (she would never do that).]

I'm not going to complain about not having enough. If we have to go through this ship and exterminate every one of these things, then that's what we'll do.

[ He's just ...going to let Aveline take that first one, although of course there is an interested lol going on from the eyes up.

Meanwhile, being all cossetted by defensive spells and everything he's suffered no real consequences via terrible mageing, and would like to remind everyone in addition to magic he does have one of them big ol' KATHOOM guns. Of course, he's not using it, but never mind that.
]

Well, it's bound to change in the next five minutes now that you've said that.

[ He hunkers down next to one of the magnificently perforated corpses and ...you know, yanks off a leg so he can take it back to Beverly. Yay!!

That accomplished, for a given value of uh, accomplishment, onward! In typical RPG terms, YOU COME TO A FORK IN THE PASSAGE. CHOOSE (L) FOR LEFT OR (R) FOR RIGHT.

Where are you going? How should Hawke know? Does he look like the leader of this merry band of misfits?

Eww.

[This is his inspired response to said yanking off of body parts, as he pointedly circles his way around the plethora of buggy corpses that have been left in their wake.

Also he thinks Aveline is lying about said bedroom activities, but actually is not inclined to make a bad joke about it at this immediate point in time (that is to say: now that she's just gotten finished blasting a bunch of creepy crawly bug things in the face). He's filing it away, though. For a rainy day.]


If we could avoid doing the whole extermination of the ship thing, I'd appreciate it. I've got plans this afternoon.

[He does not. He peers into the gloom of each passageway, one after the other, and turns back to the others with an equally as inspired shrug. They're both dim and come complete with unsettling scratchy noises, he wasn't going to get much out of that anyway.]

So, which is it? Ominous Hallway A, or Ominous Hallway B? I have a sneaking suspicion we'll meet more of our new friends regardless.

WOW HELLO I AM SORRY.

[Isabela listens carefully, considering each option. Eventually (less than a minute later) she points a dagger down Ominous Hallway A.]

It sounds like there might be a few more down that way, although if we really want to make this ship safe for the poor, hapless souls who aren't as well armed as us I think we should do both,

[She genuinely wants to help. She doesn't just want to kill things. Really.]
