Naija listened as Slayer gave his rather eloquent explanation of why he was not a hero and it was not what she had expected. It was in a way very cryptic, avoiding specifics and leaving things up to her interpretation. Others might find it suspicious but Naijas odd life had lead her to a conclusion that such a manner of speech only reinforced. That Slayer was a god, who offered wisdom, guidance and power to others who then did what needed to be done while not getting directly involved in events themselves. More specifically it reminded her of how the dead civilizations had spoke of their gods in legends, grand tales recorded on walls and in archives of a people's great deeds done in the name of their god, rather than the sorry things she had put down and taken her powers from, mad shadows of their former selves barely living in the mausoleum of their children. At any rate she was now a little in awe of Slayer, even if he was small for a god.

At this moment their and all other conversations were interrupted by the thief. It was probably fortunate for them both, slayer would not have to lie to satisfy the whirlpool of curiosity that was Naija and she might have time to broaden her world view before their next conversation and avoid embarrassment. Naija just barely caught sight of the black streak as it sped away with Mario's Phozons and hat in its bag, alerted by Rosalina's call and the flying starfish she sent after the thief. She was struck with bemusement for a moment and then sprung to action when Luigi took off into the garden. She flapped into the air away Slayer to whom she offered a hasty goodbye, his earlier comment about all present being allies now quite ironic, as Guile shouted not to stop the soul snatcher, only to follow it. It was a shame, she was really looking forward to blasting things again and now she would have a nice target in her sights and with a flick of the wrist she could just… She resisted the urge, after all she might hit those friendly starfish while also disobeying orders. Part of her bemoaned the existence of friendlies and their getting in the way of some carnage. The rest of her was appalled at that part.

”I’ll shadow it from above then, see if I can spot where it’s headed”

Naija takes off into the air, flying high above the gardens and trying to keep an eye on where the Lumas and thief were, while also being high enough to easily pass over the wall if the chase lasted that long. She made an effort to point at the streak and Lumas whenever they where in sight in order to act as a second tracing component for the ground based pursuers while also shouting to the others any new developments to those below, essentially giving a running commentary to the chase.

day/time: day 1 - evening/night
Location: Kingdom of Erion - Outside the abandoned castle -> Tetris Castle - floor 49th Floor

Naija collects that other Napple before heading back to the castle.

Once there she spends the rest of the night after the debriefing being poked, prodded, questioned and examined by the science staff after she mentioned the incident with the wings. Somebody also told them about the slug thing and there was much running around, loud discussion and drawing on whiteboards, none of which Naija understood. The beds were nice though and someone was kind enough to give her sound protectors to block out the enthusiastic late night caffeine fueled theorizing while they kept her under observation to check if she was going to develop megalomania or start mutating/rotting.

Bastion: 2/2. linked ally: none

”And I would be Taric, Aspect of the Protector and the Shield of Valoran. It is pleasure to meet you both.”

They were informed that all currency was taken, though it would be easier to take gold than find out how much Jack’s currency was worth. Gold is a relatively straightforward if inflexible currency, being worth however much gold the coin contained, whereas Jacks was either exchangeable for an amount of gold in his nation or had an entirely abstract worth. Any way Taric had offered and gotten the info he asked for, so it would be rude to rescind his offer. He paid for whatever people wanted, took his drink and settled down at the one remaining empty table opposite the bar, the chair he sat in creaking under the weight of his jewel encrusted armor, imaging the others might join him.

They were joined at the bar by a young woman who had just arrived who was wearing a belly dancer ensemble and gold jewelry. It was a quite the eye-catching ensemble but what was even more striking was her incredibly long purple ponytail. While his hair was, in his opinion, quite splendid, it paled in comparison to the newcomers mystical locks.

Once the others orders and questions mostly taken care off Moxi turns her attention Shantae, her manner of talking is probably incredibly inappropriate when directed at a the girl, and she asked how she could help the half-genie hero. The blocky Steve turned to greet her as well while Taric spoke more with Jack.

Jack himself had what might be called a rugged aesthetic, a man who had seen may battles and survived what looked to be a number of varied injuries in the line of duty. It spoke of very dangerous city and a stalwart officer who could not be dissuaded from putting himself in the line of fire again and again till the town was safe. There was a beauty in such fierce determination, if Taric was correct in his assessment this was a man to be admired. The man himself spoke of a call from a cloud to come to the city to help deal with a crises, a virus of some sort.

” My world and this one contain some very strange things, so i don’t think it sounds mad. I would have thought a virus would be a thing for healers not warriors, so I wonder what kind of infection needs force of arms to contain.”

Perhaps this is what the protector had guided him to the city for, summoning heroes from other worlds certainly seemed like it was something of a last resort, something that threatened them all. Also if there was a funeral where said heros were staying then it seemed like it was a dangerous task as well. The city itself and the rest of the arcade had seemed relatively peaceful so either this was a hidden threat or it was some kind of plague that needed to be contained before it spread from one world to the others? Somebody certainly needed protecting, be it the heroes themselves or entire worlds and so Taric decided that he would see if he could find out more. After breakfast.

”As for why I am here, well, I think you have just given me my answer. Or part of it at least. Sometimes I wish the Protector was less cryptic in what a problem is before I arrived where i have been sent but I assume I was sent here by them to help deal with this virus you spoke of.”

Food was then brought by Susanne the waitress shortly after: 5 dozen eggs scrambled eggs, fried mushrooms and some toast for Taric.

”If that is why I am here I look forward to fighting alongside another defender of the innocent”

So... anyone with characters in the immediate area feel like working together on this (those who reasonably can, that is)? I was planning on introducing B-K by having them play at the reception just before the theft takes place, but from there, I'm open to suggestions.

(Mentions are based on hypothetical character proximity.)

@Etherean Fire

Naija is available for giving chase using her wings and can probably give somebody a ride using a towed chair/table/whatever. I suggest towing in case there's an ambush for whoever follows the closest behind thief, which would probably be her because I am assuming flying is fast. As for who gets the ride if anyone does it should probably be either Slayer who is closets, fox who has done it before or Luigi because this is the most impotent for them to get the Phozons/hat back. My vote is for Luigi for the dramatic confrontation with whatever master the thief serves would probably be the best for the narrative.

map attempt number 2. I apologies if I oversteps my bounds in adding stuff to the ship

My Hider

[ migration ]

The dwarf stepped out into the corridor alongside the elf ranger.

"I remember from my younger days while my people were ascending from the deep, the first advice to diggers for when they broke into some now cavern or tunnel was to not wonder off on your own because you wanted to look at the neat stuff you unearthed. Sticking together is, as you say, definitely a good Idea. I also appreciating the company."

He turned back to those in the room,

"we won’t go far and’ll make sure to stay insight of this door”

That he walked away from the door, which sealed itself tightly behind them and blocked out the subsequent noise of the smiths emergence and demands.

"now then let’s find out where these go”

The dwarf pulled out a blank piece of parchment, a quill and ink and began to draw a map as they explored.

To the right where a series of 3 doors at a dead end, to their left a long corridor that appeared to have doors some way down it and finally a door ahead of them that when opened lead to another long corridor at the end of which a soft thrumming noise could be heard.

"I hope this place has more to it than hallways”

It did indeed as the trio of doors at the end were inspected. The one at the end led to a cylinder like room which featured nothing but panel with lights on it that Andric intended to never go in again. The other two were more interesting and, more importantly, spacios. To the right was a room which contained an odd building inside sitting on 3 stilts with two massive bulky machines attached on the back. Past that there was another window out into the void. It was likely that if Kiana approached the house thing it would react in some manner.

The other room held on one side a large number of unknown item including but not limited to: what looked like suits of armor made of rubber and glass, shoos that looked like webbed feet, strange T shaped devices alongside tiny pickaxes, paintbrushes and shovels, a metal frame with a shovel on the end of metal poles, a box with a toothed blade attached, lots of small devices a little like the one that had spoken to them with some additions like antenna or dishes, a bunch of things that looked like thick wire nooses on sticks, small crossbows with ammunition that looked like it had liquid inside and an innumerable amount of other strange items.

The other side held various storage containers, cages and tanks made of metal and glass, all looking quite empty, alongside another metal frame, this one with a empty metal door frame with two prongs sticking out of it. There was a large door the lead behind the elevator and presumably into the room with the stilt house. Andric could not see the end of the room for all the shelves of strange things. Whoever ended up their researcher would probably have a wealth of information to gain from their wristband about all these tools of extraterrestrial exploration and sample collection.

"So what do you make of all this? Can't say I know what most of this stuff is” he asked his fellow explorer.

Andric was now regretting telling people they were not wandering off but as Kiana and he had both agreed, there was safety in numbers and it would be unwise to leave the others to worry about where the two of them had gone off to and perhaps going looking for them in completely the wrong direction. He walked back along to the pod room, finishing up his rough sketch and presumably arriving there after the situation with Victor had been somewhat resolved.

While Slayer walked away and then drifted up to where she was currently hovering and Naija considered the implications on the phrase “being looked down upon”, height had about the same meaning underwater as compass positions did on land, generally important only geographically. In the local situation there was nothing stopping you from swimming up to the level of the other as Slayer did now. Considering how awkward it had been to look up at everyone in her crouching position when she was land locked she supposed being higher than others was important, showing off how much you were beating gravity and lording it over others. In hindsight her flying over the various chairs and guest was might have been seen as rude and Naija blushed at her unintended offence. Or more specifically her cheeks glowed, a result of her energy blood.

”sorry about the height thing, I’ll try to stay eye level with people from now on”

That said she descended to the ground, hoping Slayer would follow so they could both hover at a more socially acceptable altitude. The man himself informed her that he was rather inflatable in this and all situations, as a Gentleman should be.

”I didn’t actually know those were things that gentleman did, I’ve never met one before. It was in just me then, there are so very few people in left in Aquaria, so I am not used to being around so many of them. I feel like since yesterday the universe is attempting to make up for lost time, yesterdays mission was already people than I had ever seen and now this… it’s a lot to take in. ”

Naija had yet to venture outside the castle walls, so the universe still had plenty of opportunities to one up itself in that department. Naija was finding the man rather likable, his vocabulary and manner of speaking were certainly interesting, his relaxed attitude rather soothing, though she wondered why he did not consider himself a hero? As for her to talk about herself, she considered for a moment.

”I am ” the power of the dead energy god urged her to say warrior, destroyer, killer, slaughter “an adventurer i suppose. When I was home I explored every nook and cranny of Aquaria, which is a sea by the way, no matter the danger and once the ceremony is done I intend to do the same here in Platform city. I also intend to do some cooking so we have some verse infused meals for the next mission, which would be better than growing healing items on location. I hope there's a lake or ocean nearby so I can go hunting for ingredients. If you're interested in abilities that I use when we are fighting together I have a bunch of forms, most of which I haven't got access to yet. This one for firing homing energy blasts, beast from for biting, eating and then using enemy's projectile attacks, nature for raising thorn barriers and launching myself using them, sun for blinding light and so on. I would also offer lifts as well but it looks like you got flying stuff covered with your chair there”

The two of them watched Varrock’s attempts of socializing with the newly appeared red furry person with some interest. He was certainly much more straightforward in his approach than she had been approaching someone and Slayers comments made the whole thing rather amusing to view.

A brief glance over the funeral now in the distance showed a small child even less appropriately dressed than Naija, though they had also brought offerings. Perhaps she should have done the same, though she had little of worth with on her person after her rapid departure from her imprisonment. There had been musical performances, perhaps she could have offered a song? A thought for later, for now she turned back to the slayer.

”So why do you not think your a Hero? You must have done some good to be trusted with this fight of ours, even if it might have been for selfish reasons like my achievements where.”
