"So that's our noisemaker" Nathan raised an eyebrow

"I don't see any sign of Tsukiko, guess she didn't cross this thing." Danny noted. "So what's the plan? Do we take this thing, or just run?"

"I'm not sure we could lose it if we ran. At best, we could try to scare it off."

"How?"

"Like this" Nathan gathered power in his left hand and held it there for a few seconds, letting it build. Once he felt that it was sufficient, he punched the ground in front of him, creating a small crater as well as shaking the surroundings.

"Jeez! You did all that with just a punch! That's scary!" Danny jumped at the sight of the aftermath.

"It was either that or fire, and I don't want to burn this whole place down."

"Fair enough."

Kamina

The sudden attack caught Kamina off guard. As a part Flying Type, the smart thing to do when someone was charging at you with Rollout was to sidestep it (or whatever the equivalent was for those without legs). Kamina being Kamina, opted for a slightly different approach "Flame Charge!" rush straight at it like a madman. Kamina and the Graveler crashed into each other with a furious *crash!* and the Graveler was knocked out of it's Rollout. Kamina didn't get out unscathed though, if his labored breathing and constant wince was anything to go by "Yeah! Take that...you...rock thing!"

Before either of them could respond to Erica, the roar cut them off. "Please tell me your compass isn't pointing in the direction" Nathan almost pleaded to Danny.

"My compass is pointing in that direction."

"Dammit! Well, at least we have an idea how far away she is" Nathan took off like a bullet in the direction of the roar after he had finished talking.

"Hey, wait! Geez, how can he move that fast?" Dumping the water out of his dish (while making sure to save the hair), he put it away while turning to face Erica "he is right though; we need to move now"

@lavulman I don't know, I haven't played it.

"Any idea what caused the engines to fail like that?" Nathan asked Danny out of the blue

"I'm an alchemist Nathan, not an engineer" He reminded his companion

"You still most likely know more about that stuff then I do"

"Eh, there is a little bit of overlap. Although without seeing the damage for myself, my best guess would have to be sabotage."

"You think someone broke the engines intentionally?"

"No, that's just my best guess. I can't think of anything else that could have caused them to fail that someone wouldn't have caught. Now granted, I'm sure there is an explanation that makes sense that isn't 'someone did it on purpose' but I don't know what it is."

"Really? I thought you said that engineering and alchemy had a little overlap?"

"That's mostly around fuel. Turns out that alchemy is good at making the stuff that powers ships like that."

"I see."

With their conversation at an end, the two fell back into silence.

Kamina

'Looks like this will take longer then I thought. Normally I'd be excited about the adventure getting extended...except, there are people suffering right now' Kamina turned his head to the village as he thought that last part. "I really hope your brother isn't under the same insanity as you. Fighting him might take too long, and I don't want to leave these poor people like this any longer then we have to. Unless this ice puts them all to sleep, then that makes me feel better. Because that way, it's less like a prison, and more like an unwanted nap. I've never been frozen alive before, so I don't have any idea which it would be. Does anyone else know?"

Ancients of Elan - Legend of Arc-en-Ciel (The RP is now open, sorry for the long wait.)

"I keep telling you; this isn't my fault. There was an engine problem, and I was nowhere near the engine. You were with me, you should know that."

"Doesn't matter; you said it."

"Wow, you're really convinced that you can tempt fate, aren't you?"

"You're a scientist-"

"Alchemist."

"-so you should be able to understand that when one event occurs after a different event enough times, then it becomes safe to assume that the later causes the former."

"That still doesn't account for the 'how'. That's pretty important too. Besides, how many times could you-"

"Eleven."

"Sorry?"

"I've seen people say something like 'what could possible go wrong', only for things to go horrible wrong eleven times. Not counting just now."

"You...kept count?"

"It'd be hard not to. The things I saw tend to stick with a person for life."

"Wow. You sound like a grizzled old war vet, you know."

"Huh, I think that came out wrong then. What I meant is that during those times, insanity and utter frustration that I haven't been able to forget."

"Well that's less dark. Still, you really need to tell me some of your stories; the giant spider one you mentioned a few hours ago sounds exciting."

"Trust me; it wasn't. It just left me with an instinct to burn any spiders on sight."

"Still sounds fun."

Two boys made their way through through a dense forest. One of them had black hair, and the other's was red. "You're positive that thing can lead us to Tsukiko right?" the black haired one asked, as he looked at a small petri dish in the other boy's hands. It was filled with water and had a single strand of hair pushed against the side. Coincidentally, in the same direction they were walking.

"Nathan, just chill man. Cobbling together a compass to find someone is easy if you have a lock of their hair." The one with red hair replied

"Yeah...about that; why do you have a lock of her hair?"

"Why else; for this very scenario."

"Okay, but how did you get it?"

"It was stuck to her clothes, I picked it off, and decided it could be useful."

"I'm suddenly a lot less comfortable being alone in a forest with you Danny."

Kamina

Poor Celes, for her to have so much fear in her heart over Spruce's condition that she would leave the mission early. It was clear that Spruce just wore himself out. Kamina was no stranger to working oneself into a state of unconsciousness, and while it wasn't pleasant, it also wasn't dangerous to your health (at least he assumed, since his health seemed to be fine). Before she teleported away, Kamina gave her a simple nod of acknowledgement. In the seconds that proceeded Celes' departure, a thought occurred to him 'wait a second... I'm riding on someone. Huh, I can see why people like using me as transportation now.'

Is it strange that a good chunk of the fun in this RP (for me) comes from making new dream sequences for Tini?

Kamina

They did it...they won. "Ha...well that was a tough fight. Even Spruce wore himself out to the bone with that last attack" Moving over to where his fallen teammate was, he scooped him up with his tail, and gently placed him on his head. "Calm down Celes" he said to his panicking teammate "considering the fact that he only fell unconscious after his own attack, I'd say he's just exhausted. All he needs is some rest, and he should be just fine." He then turned to Reshiram "and as for you; I'm glad to see that our efforts to violently beat the insanity out of you worked. The reason we came here was to ask you to thaw out a village that's completely coated in ice, even the people living there. I think it was your brother?" Kamina made a mental note to thank the blue Snivy later. Right now, he had to convince Reshiram to help them before he had a relapse.

Tini

"Ahhh...today was a great day. We got to uncrazy some people, explore a cave, Eralion evolved, and even reunite two long lost lovers. They even gave us a berry for it. I still can't believe we get paid to do this. I love my life, but sometimes I love it even more then normal" Tini monologued as he settled in for the night "I hope that tomorrow is just as great as today was" And as he slowly drifted off to sleep, he once more entered the world of dreams...

When Tini came too, he found himself on a crowded street corner. The whole place was filled with medical personnel, as well as members of law enforcement. At the center of it all, was a ring of yellow tape, and in the middle of that, was two young children on the ground. Pie covering their bodies as they lay down twitching

"A double Pieing" Said a Throh to his side

"Not only that, but both them had a entire can of whipped cream unloaded into their mouths" added a Sawk who was standing besides the Throh

"What kind of sick nut job does this to a couple of kids?"

"You and I know the answer to that all to well, old friend"

"Yeah...we do. Fudge! We've fought for so long to clean this kind of filth from the streets, and it's still not gone! Will Magical Sparkle Rainbow Valley City ever be free of this curse!?"

"Who knows. But I do know this; if it wasn't for the work of us and others like us, these streets would be a heck of a lot darker"

"I suppose that's true. Anyway, this creep's not going to catch himself, let's get a closer look at the crime scene. You coming Special Best Friend Prosecutor?"

"Right behind you" Tini answered
