@Baklava I'm good to go.

Mass Effect: Borealis

Alright, executive order time.

Just to keep things smooth and try to make all this chaos make sense, we're going to keep the cliff observation rescue separate from the ground camp team. The cliff rescue will focus on Serena and Hazan with the dropship, whereas the people on the ground will be breaking out via truck/ running gunfight.

I got totally confused when I saw that Hellis had Drono calling for air support he probably had no idea was really in the air and people going with it, so I figured there was something going on I'd missed OOC.

So let's just axe that and keep the teams separate and assume, for simplicity's sake, the AA guns are manned and extremely dangerous.

Yup, attack already happened. Backing out now would be like punching someone and pretending it didn't happen by closing your eyes.

@gcold

Sounds just like my trips to the grocery store checkout.

I wasn't sure if any collabs were making progress. Should I chip in for the Serena and Haze rescue?

Mass Effect: Borealis

What even is this. :[

Oh, if we've a choice not to Talos Vult, then let them eat each other up. I just figured it was a given thanks to the vote.

@Peik

Hey now, you and Poo both voted for Talos Vult vs. Shaft being all, "Naw".

For the record, I took the meme as a vote.

Mass Effect: Borealis

Since we're all working on collabs at the moment we should probably figure out posting order.

Morty and I are working to get to the Yolac and subsequently pick up Tonka, Drono and Kasy.

Fallen, Hellis, DJ and Zombie are running another collab covering Haze and Serena's rescue, air support and all that jazz.

While Fallen and Rtron are having a after rescue collab back on the Borealis.

The AA Guns will give us some trouble with escape, I threw in a small edge however when Dex was hacking the communications network. She tagged the Kite and Borealis with confusing duplicate serial numbers matching ships the smuggler's own. On scanners it would be difficult to discern which is which but anybody with eyes could tell the Borealis isn't theirs.

@DearTrickster

Good work being more GM-y than I have been lately. Have a deputy star!

I'll try and get a post up tonight, but it may have to wait until tomorrow - I'm heading home for my birthday, so I'll be on the train for a while. And then, hopefully alcohol and takeaway. XD

@MiddleEarthRoze

Happy lap around the sun day!

This was certainly an experience that had nothing in memory to act as a baseline comparison to. At first, the little Skullkid girl, a race Lev had no real prior experience with as he saw no appeal in exploring some dark and mysterious forest that was infamous for getting lost in that Skullkids called home, approached his lantern, tapping upon it with her own lantern, and informing the still-invisible Poe that he was “spooky.”

No fear, just a childish observation that completely undercut the menacing aura that he liked to maintain when dealing with most mortals. If it weren’t so unexpected, it would have been rather irritating. Instead, the situation became somewhat novel, especially since the Skullkid was a creature that like Deku-kind, was rather prone to being inflammable, and Poes were rather famous for starting fires. It was kind of their thing.

Lev’s attention turned to the gateway as more people filed in. Another Skullkid, of all things, and another dark-garbed figure that if one were to profile, would be the kind of individual that was responsible for half the missing children on Lon Lon Milk cartons based on appearance alone, two men roughly the same age and looked similar enough to be cousins. The more serious of the two was a Shiekah, who in annoyingly typical Shiekah fashion, was reserved, wore concealing clothing, and probably were overly serious to the point one could not take them seriously in the slightest. It didn’t help that Shiekah had some shady history going on, including being closely tied in with the Shadow Temple at the back of the very graveyard they occupied, as well as some indistinct business with that well where all sorts of grisly legends existed. The young man in the graveyard probably thought he was saving the royal family or something by being here.

Another baffling pairing came into the yard, a young Gerudo girl and the biggest hulk of a Hylian Lev had ever seen; it was almost impossible to believe if he weren’t looking right at it. The girl with him was probably his adoptive daughter, and she was certainly acting appropriately considering the odd assortments of things residing in the graveyard at that moment. The man was both confident and courteous in speech, a larger than life figure who specifically told his daughter to say hi to the ghosts. So, he knew a Poe when he saw it. It made sense, the guy was old and presumably well-travelled, but still, it was strange that he was being so cordial about it. It was rather strange, but Lev suddenly had stirrings, suddenly sizing the man up. What if they were all being gathered here for an adventure? Would he make a good protagonist? Of course, no one would want to read about an old man who was reaching cane-walking years, perhaps he’d scale him down to a rather dashing 30s, make his hair golden…

Oh, right. The Skullkid.

Since the charade was up, Lev spun in a theatrical flourish, a trail of flame emitting from his lantern, before materializing his form for all to see. Looking down at the Skullkid with pale blue eyes that dominated the black void that was his ‘face’, Lev cackled. ”Oh, I’m the spooky one? That is delightful coming from the living embodiment of a horror fairy tale that parents tell their children to keep them from wandering off on their own. I am but a humble spirit; you’re a twisted little girl that was consumed by a creepy forest that swallows souls and spits out monsters. That’s terrific.” the Poe said cheerfully, floating up a bit to survey the people gathered around.

”So, am I wrong in assuming that we’re all here because a voice in our minds told us to come? Which one of you is responsible?” with an extended flick of a finger towards the dark-cloaked figure that the Skullkid harassed initially, Lev snapped his fingers. ”It bet it was the creepy guy in the brown brooding over there. This better not be a pyramid scheme or selling timeshares.”
