You have to use your charming skills to get that brandy ;)

@The Grey Warden

Well, either way I hope he has high charisma...hehee.

<Snipped quote by The Grey Warden>

Hey couldja get a couple bottles of Turian brandy? For, um, reasons.

@DJAtomika

I think Vellios has some if you ask him sweetly or get Dex to flirt with him....

Also this is the best ooc. The best.

@DJAtomika

And hell yeah, agree.

Mass Effect: Borealis

One that DID hear it was Drono. Becouse being in the inners, the vibrations travelling trough metal is heard that much more x.x

@Hellis

He's the ME of Deadpool, he'll walk it off. At least it's not a bullet in the face. xD

<Snipped quote by Hellis>

He can yell at her for making him deaf later. She'll give him mechs to hear.

@Rtron

Vellios would smirk and ask him why he was feeling up the ship most likely.

<Snipped quote by Rtron>

It was a pretty fantastic moment though a good beat to hit. On the same note the shit ship isn't that big so Tanya's music isn't loud enough to be heard up at the bridge but an explosion, albeit, smothered behind a shield would def be a thing. Sound could especially travel in an open space like the hanger.

Everyone is gettin' warmed up writing wise. rubs my wee little hands

@DearTrickster

At least Serena will be well known among the crew now.

Mass Effect: Borealis

<Snipped quote by DearTrickster>

Listen to her. She is wise. BRACE FOR IMPACT. BRACE FOR IMPAAAA- We'll be fine, I'm sure.

Also, Serena's droid wasn't that big of an explosion. She's not packing her droids with C4 for suicide drones (Yet...) And unless the ship has a far shoddier hull than anyone thought, it shouldn't be shaking the entire ship...or heard by the entire crew. :p

YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE. CALM DOWN. THE SHIP IS RUINED, BUT NOT BECAUSE OF SERENA'S ACTIONS. LOVE HER.

@Rtron

B-B-BUT...It's more fun that way and even an explosion can be heard everywhere. :p At least!

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

<Snipped quote by EthTenshi>

It was still pretty cool. Though we now have a slight problem. T-T

@Demonic Angel

*pats Angel on head* You knew what would happen...

Mass Effect: Borealis

The entire point is to kill of the "supposed only reason". Player agency should be to build the crew around their shared miss fortune.

@Hellis

True, but some PCs might have trouble doing that. For example, while Vellios doesn't give a damn either way as he's leashed to Serena... the human might not want to stick around. Hence, where she goes.. so does Vellios.

Anyway, I'm hoping with my idea, namely the Batarian smuggler, that might at least give our PCs some form of continual work and reason for being together for the time being. That, with some luck, should help solve a few issues and give us something to toy around with until Dervish and Hellis smacks us fully steam with the plot!

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Lyamis (Naga), Catacomb

Lyamis watched in sheer awe as, from nowhere, Ssarak seemed to rush forward. His shield up and sword ready, the illusion looked on first glance appeared identical until the male Naga’s eyes narrowed and focused on details. However, the malice Naga didn’t know and immediately her head jerked to the side. Her torso swayed as she turned about face, ignoring him, and hissed at the materialized creature nearest her. Instinct overruled common intelligence when her tail lashed outward, her tail whipped at the target in hopes to knock the creature off balance before she attacked. Naturally the doppelganger darted slightly to the side then teased the Naga a bit causing her to slither off toward the new threat and Grey.

In the background, Baulder was howling and bellowing through the catacombs. His arms hacking and slicing when another student came to his aid, trying to pull him back with caution. The other students seem to be struggle despite the roar stunning a few of the ridge hounds, a fact the Naga took complete advantage of and quickly cut as many as they could down. Their tails quickly slamming the corpses away to prevent them from piling up nearby, even taking a few careless hounds out in the process. Those near Grey abruptly stopped when Ssarak entered their heads. their eyes shifted and sought the source, unfamiliar with psychomancy, while feeling the tension in their forms creep in from the newness.

Lyamis’ thoughts reflexed their fear through gentle words toward whom he believed was the source, his body language and stance a visible clue that they need not be frightened.When mention of his wounded Naga came into his thoughts, his hand jerked out and caught the tossed run easily in one movement. A visual display followed shortly causing him to nod in understanding. Interesting, through unusual. We usually bind wounds and let our own heal, but not now.

The male’s eyes shifted to the wounded Naga. His figured started to glide forward and jerk to the leaning female’s side, her skin pale and sweating, to gesture for her to retreat. The Naga hissed in resistance at his dominance causing Lyamis to press his advantage. His tail twitched and his body raised, gaining in height over the much older huntress showing obvious tension between the two. Matriarch's aged eyes sense then slapped her tail upon the ground’s hard surface. The sound echoed causing both to pause, still in their posture while she spoke. “Enough. Niryall, fall back, swallow your pride.”

The huntress hung her head as she allowed Lyamis’ arms, in grudging fashion, to pull her back to the inner circle. His hand pressed the Rune to her side while a tingling sensation began to stitch her flesh, veins, and more together. Amaryllis’ mind projected a message for Ssarak to catch if he was willing, one of warning and authority. Tell youth Lyam, as you should address him-for a Naga’s full name is only best for those who have earned them- that he and I will need to talk after this fight is over. Slowly, the other Naga started to tighten their circle, eliminating the gaps despite their growing exhaustion.

Ellys, Lyn’s hunt

The Naga thrashed and jerked, the vines cutting into her flesh with each movement. She was snared in frustration, pure venomous hatred pouring and distracting her while she managed to only free her hand. Her fingers tearing at the vines fruitlessly until something solid whistled through the air. A sharp, terrible pain erupted from her chest causing her to feel warmth seeping from her body. Her blood started to soak into the soil as numbness settled in. It spreaded from her fingertips to her hand, her arm and finally the rest of her body leaving an icy chill to run along her spine.

When Keri reached her, her eyes were already hazing into Malice. No longer having the self preservation instinct, Eyllis’ figure started to rip herself free just as the vines started to lose their strength. Her neck was exposed enough for Keri’s fangs to slip in then penetrate, filling her mouth with the oxygen enriched blood. Naturally, in instinctive reaction rather than intelligence, Ellyis’ head whipped to the side in order to plunge her fangs into the Vampire’s exposed artery. Thankfully, the girl had moved fast enough. The vampire a blur while she darted away and disappeared into Althalus’ direction, leaving Summer, Meirin, and Leith to deal with a very frightening creature: a Malice Naga.

The vines snapped free just moments after Leith went for the axe wielder.

What once had been Ellys swayed drunkenly, her head hung down and arrow sticking out of her chest. Blood staining her chest as she wobbled eerily in place, her tail slithering towards the nearest student: Summer. Through none of the students knew exactly what a Malice Naga was or how dangerous, they would be able to note something was dead wrong since the long end of the shaft would be sticking out of her back just where her heart should be. If Summer didn’t move, Eyllis’ tail would lash out at her legs then coil immediately, crushing any bones within her grip. Mangled would be a pleasant way to describe the pain and torture when it came to being squeezed by a Naga.

Depending on the situation, he might be able to trade with Tia. There's only so much crap she'll put up with.

On a side note, @Dervish, I hope have something planned for the immediate future. This is a personal thing, but killing off the only reason this eclectic group of misfits came together before the story even starts is not the best way to start things. They do need a reason to stick around, and for the time being, I think most of our characters don't have that beyond idle curiosity.

@Thundercrash

I do get a twitching suspicion that the Salarian's death might've been less accidental and more...planned. If you get my drift?

Mass Effect: Borealis

@Fallenreaper There's probably something kicking around to use, like maybe some duct tape~

@DearTrickster

Still, you can only duct tape so often before that's all it is. I don't think the FLT drive will be able to handle that or the engine. Though Vellios might suggest Varren intestines for make shift tubing for the chemicals... which is why he's not an engineer full time. :p

When you get all these techies together it feels like mad science y'know?

@DearTrickster

With all these techies... this ship better be in better shape afterwards then when they got it. Though even the best techs can't do squat without parts and materials, can't really wield air right?
