[i]Just this quick stop before we set off...I do need to replenish basic supplies for the medical bay before we go. Just because I can heal doesn't mean I should unless it's absolutely needed. Anything that can work without personal interference should be first. Now, let's see, what were we missing in the cabinets...pretty much anything I might need.[/i]

Lanestol started running through a mental checklist on what he needed to pick up while the Stone-Turner docked for repairs on Vlana. He tried playing this whole interplanar travel thing off and to keep his cool, though being off of Krasnolar and around salespeople who sought him rather than the other way around was quite a disorienting experience. He had only read about these sorts of markets from one book he exchanged with a neighborhood keeper in exchange for some of his personal research on the extent of clover's usefulness as a potions ingredient. Getting lost in a good book was quite common on Krasnolar, though being in the moment was something no book could ever have prepared him for or simulated.

This reflected in some rather poor negotiation skills. He ran out of funds before he could pick up everything he thought to pick up. What he bought would have to do and his power could supplement the rest. For now, he didn't want to be the reason for the Stone-Turner's delay. He hurried back to board and set up his supplies in the medical bay before joining the rest of the crew outside as the airship's engines revved up. The spectacle of what seemed like space and time taking on physical form and flowing around them had yet to stop amazing him. Nothing in the books he encountered had ever mentioned this form of interplanar travel, and how much less would they have been able to capture the moment.

Upon warning to brace, Lanestol knelt down, bracing his staff against a rail to keep his body relatively motionless. Once it stopped feeling like he was being forced by the ship's acceleration, he stood and observed the space around the ship. Many fantastic colors from flares, fusions and other phenomena also filled their views around them. The lookout appeared unaffected until using his implement to magnify the source of the brilliance - the last star in the universe.

"That thing is huge!" he could hear the lookout cry.

Didn't take a lookout to see that. The star was only massive and the planet they were traveling to was just in the right orbit path so it didn't go hurtling inward.
