driftfleet | 008 - dragon dragon rock the dragon

Who: Clay Terran and Everyone
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Vanquish cargo hold
When: Early morning of 9/11

[He's honestly not sure if the fighting up on Solrius is done or not, but that doesn't really matter. When the feed turns on, Clay's in the cargo hold of the Vanquish, where there are about two crates on a trolley and ready to go. It's not apparent what's in them, but that's what he's going to address.]

Hey everyone. By now, I'm sure a lot of you now about what's going on with the planet Solrius. There's a man and a dragon [Sorey and Mikleo], and they're tearing the civilization up there apart. I saw it myself a few days ago; a lot of the trees are gone, the earth itself took a big hit, and a good chunk of people there are homeless now. They destroyed a lot in those past few days... and they're part of the fleet.

I know we don't have much longer here, but I don't want to leave a planet in shambles after they offered their home to us. [He tilts the comm to give the crates the center view.] I don't have a lot of credits, but I tried to buy what I could to help. There's some blankets and water, first-aid kits, food, some new clothing, and cleaning supplies.

[It helps that he got a pretty hefty paycheck just for being marginally involved in this whole thing, though the thought of that made him feel awful. Hence, using all of it to buy what he could to help.]

But this isn't nearly enough to help them. I'm going to be heading up there tonight, but if any of you want to drop off anything that could help, I'm in the cargo bay of the Vanquish. I've attached a list to the bottom of this of the things we need, and if there's anything else that can be added, just let me know. If you just want to give credits, I'll go out and buy some more supplies for this.

- blankets and pillows
- clothes of all sizes
- bottled water
- non-perishable food
- first-aid kits
- cleaning supplies
- towels
- personal care items
- buckets
- construction supplies
- baby supplies
- toiletries
- silverware, paper plates and cups
- dolls and toys

I'd really appreciate anything you can do to help.

[Plus, this... kind of takes his mind off of what he learned just a few days ago, his fate back at home. So while the distraction is emotionally (and financially) taxing, it's still a welcome one.]

Clay - I can use my magic to duplicate things, other than the food. I probably could, but I don't want to risk it here just in case.

You can do that?

[Holy shit he learns the most awesome things about his crew every day]

Alphonse is coming with me. Could you come too? Would the planet itself be a good place to risk it? [It's big and wide open, after all.]

As long as I have something I can make more of it. I can transfigure things into other things, too, but I can't do that to food. It's against the way magic works.

[ But... Clay probably doesn't need a run down on Transfiguarional Law right now. ]

I can do it anywhere, so I'll come with you. All you had to do was ask.

Thank you.

[His crew is definitely coming together, and it really warms his heart to see. It's the first really good thing he's seen in a while, not counting Apollo's arrival.]

There's some other supplies on the list that I couldn't get, and we'll definitely need more food and water in that case. But other than that... You guys are the best.

Well, I can summon water, at least.

[ And she says it with a wry smile, looking a little sheepish. ]

I just want to help. You don't have to thank me for that.

Still, though! I've got the best friends. And the best crew.

[HE'S SO PROUD OF THEM. Though he does have to warn her:]

But honestly, I'm not sure if the fighting's done up there. I haven't gotten any word back yet, so we'll need to be careful while we're up there.

I think we all try our best.

[ And she says it with a fondness she can't hide. ]

I've handled dragons before, I'm not too afraid - and I can apparate us away if we need it.

[He smiles in return, and it really does meet his eyes for the first time in the past couple of days.]

Apparate - that's like teleporting, right?

A little bit like that, yes. It just has to be somewhere I can visualise properly or things can go wrong.

That shouldn't be a problem! I'll be bringing the ship itself; by tonight, I don't think there's going to be enough room in the shuttles for the supplies we're bringing.

[Well. He hopes, at least.]

We shouldn't have any issues, then. Oh!

[ Hermione perks up, beaming. ]

I can bring some of my potions for people, if they need them.

Hey, yeah, that's a great idea! I didn't see any hurt people myself, but I know they definitely need them.

[A man and his dragon, ruined cities and villages - it'd be unrealistic to think that people got out of it without getting hurt.]

It's better to be safe and careful. I learned that in the Drabwurld.

[ And she can go around repairing things if she needs to - another perk of her magic. ]
