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!

A;
[ so. space bugs.

just when Lloyd thought he wouldn't be getting any action. he could hear the scurrying even before they properly entered the ship, and already had his swords out by the time the first batch of bugs pounced. he slices them down easily, moving hard and fast before any of them could get their claws on him for long.

it's a little strange, though. with his normal attacks he can slice them down easy, but with artes (particularly anything in the Demon Fang branch) he's having some difficulty landing the attacks. it's like the attacks are bouncing off and not doing any damage at all.

a bit of a hindrance, but it's not something that'll get Lloyd down, no sir. he is perfectly a-okay with brute force. ]

[ so that first wave was a thing, but now it's time to get back to the matter at hand. when he's not fighting any more of the space bugs or checking on people after the face, he'll be wandering the ship -- usually with at least one of three buddies by his side.

he's particularly keeping an eye out for anyone that seems to be in trouble, whether or not they're from the fleet, so if your character is in trouble then he'll be swooping into the rescue, regardless of your relationship to him. ]

[ Kaneis sure wishes Raine was here so they could have another healer to bring on these little expeditions. Wouldn't that be nice? ]

[But of course he's there, even if he's unhappily so. Being on this ship just seems like a bad idea to him, but unfortunately the others insisted and he was not cold hearted enough to reject there reasons. He really needs to work on this whole having morals thing.]


So...anyone have any thoughts on what creepy thing happened here?
idealistic: (【KRATOS】room for one more;)

[ god Kaneis quit being such a grump and be the healer you were meant to be (nottalking)

at this point, Lloyd's already trying to unravel what'd happened aboard this ship. the distress call had been sent out for a reason, and it wasn't in Lloyd's nature to ignore it (Dwarven Vow #2)-- hence why he not only set out to invesigate, but successfully dragged Kaneis with him. no need to work on the "having morals" thing when Lloyd is there to remind you of them.

he turns to Kaneis when he speaks up. ]


No clue. [ such useful. he looks around the ship, to see if any more of the bugs from earlier were around. ] You think the bugs have anything to do with it?
wilder: (❂ you're kidding right?)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-06-27 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean the killer bugs that are all over the ship and trying to kill us?

[a beat]

Nah, couldn't have anything to do with them.

[Sorry Lloyd you'll never stop his sass]

[ he wouldn't have it any other way ]

Y-you know what I mean!! [ JEEZ!!! ] There could've been something else before the bugs, right?!
wilder: (❂ secondhand embarrassment)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-06-27 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I...guess that could be so. We could always find an even bigger monster further in the ship...
idealistic: homework takes time (【COLETTE】gimme a moment;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-06-27 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's what I meant. Like a leader, or something like that. [ a pause ] Wonder what the bigger guys're like out here?

[ kaneis if you go down the gorey, scary path istg ]

[Lloyd you really should know better. His eyes practically light up at thinking about this]

Maybe it has six eyes. And a poisonous spit. Oh! And giant pinchers made out of blades.
idealistic: I'M NOT AN ARMREST OMG (【ZELOS】'zelos u little shit' round 2;)

[ BIG SIGH ] Aw, gimme a break! There's no way they could be anything like that!

[ ...right? ]
wilder: (❂ secondhand embarrassment)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-06-27 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Or maybe it has a mouth within a mouth....
idealistic: (【MANGA】oh god what;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-06-28 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ if Lloyd wasn't as traveled as he was, he probably wouldn't believe that. maybe. ]

--They can HAVE THAT?! [ nah he probably would ]
wilder: (❂ what I'm totally innocent)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-06-28 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha-

You wanna shout a little louder? I don't think you've alerted every bug on the ship yet.
idealistic: (【MANGA】(unsure)!!;)

[personal profile] idealistic 2015-06-29 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not like I'm trying to!

[ YOU STARTED IT. but okay, calming down for a bit, and... ]

...You really think they can have a mouth in a mouth? [ how would that even work how could they eat ]
