WHO WANTS TO GO ON A FIELD TRIP????

[stonefaith]

'CAUSE I GOT SOMETHIN LIKE A PLOT FOR YOU

Bariyan and Osprey/checksum are in the process of planning a trip into the United Earth, but unfortunately for them, they currently have no way of getting across the water. It's feasible that they might find a slightly serviceable boat somewhere on Exsilium, but even then they've still got problems:

1. it'll probably have to be fixed up at least a little bit
   
2. who here knows anything about ships?
   Answer: NOT THESE TWO

So! If you've got a character who could help out (either with Boat Problems, or if they've got any alternative way of getting a couple people across the Channel), hit us up C:

Or actually if you just want to throw your character into this trip in general, feel free to chime in and we can work something out B) Though ICly they might want to keep the numbers reasonably small to avoid getting noticed by either the Initiative or the Government HEH......

You know in the movies when people like

Hitch rides on a dolphin's back?

[stonefaith]

oh my god

feferi BABY........

[ex_fintastic398]

You know you want to

[stonefaith]

I'm trying to imagine this and help all I can see is Bariyan's dignity dying the most ungraceful death

LAUGHS

[ex_fintastic398]

I'm not seeing the problem here...

[stonefaith]

neither am I so STAND BY, MISS FEFERI, WE MAY BE IN NEED OF YOUR AID B')

There is Mag'rateth, potentially!

...he would be kind of awkward to ride, though, what with wings and tail making up most of his size. Body size-wise he's somewhere between a wolf and a tiger.

He could potentially help with making and propelling a boat or something like that, if he got drawn into things and it was a short enough distance, since he can pretty much shape solid stone like clay.

Alternately he could end up following along whatever happens like a creepy fire-breathing albatross, since he can make long-range flights very casually.

[stonefaith]

Distance-wise it might be short enough, since I think we could just have them go across the Strait of Dover? :> So yes, Mag's help there would be super

And by all means ooh yes!! I WANNA FIREBREATH ALBATROSS ALONG FOR THE RIDE though if he does come, he'd probably have to stop being Firebreath Albatross once they hit the United Earth and go undercover :'(

[noble_sin]

Bawwwww on the latter part.

I mean... squeak, squeak. Icon related.

[stonefaith]

OH GOOD PERFECT awwww look at you mag you're so TINY NOW

[noble_sin]

He can also be a little dinosaur!

Dinosaurs are cool.

[stonefaith]

oh god don't turn into a little dinosaur without warning though okay, zombieman here will just freak

DRAGONS: OK
SMALL DINOSAURS: HOLY CRAP

[noble_sin]

What about imitating people? 'Cause he can do that too. :D

[stonefaith]

I think Bariyan would actually scream like a little girl
OKAY MAYBE NOT BUT HE WOULD BE EVEN MORE FREAKED, YES, THIS IS TRUE
go back to being a little dinosaur he liked that better

[uncalled_for]

Fiona wants to gooooo. But she knows nothing of boats. :|;;;

[stonefaith]

HEH THAT'S OKAY she can just join the "What Are Boats We Just Don't Know???" party over here. THE COOLEST PARTY, OBVIOUSLY B)

[checksum]

Boats are for people who don't get their planet rendered unsafe for habitation by insane post-Singularity AIs.

[stonefaith]

ie, for UNCOOL PEOPLE :'| who are not invited to our land/space/Mars-dwellin' parties!!!!!!

[noble_sin]

Cool people don't need boats, they just download into waterproof novacrabs and walk across.

[stonefaith]

I missed the word "into" for a bit there and now I'm just imagining people strapping those things to their feet and walking across this is a good mental image yes perfect

[noble_sin]

You wouldn't download a car, why would you download a novacrab

[checksum]

Because you've got a vat and want to grow your own?

[stonefaith]

excuse me I would too download a car
i would download a novacrab
i would download a novacar
you don't know me you don't know my LIFE!!!!!!!!

[checksum]

Download ALL THE DATA!!!!

[checksum]

Or uplifted cetacean sleeves, if they just want a swim.

[boughtabookstore]

Should they find a boat, Ros does know how a pretty fair amount about boats.
having been in the navy
and all that

anyways yup! so if she happened to hear about them needing help with boats she'd definitely be willing to give them help there in exchange for coming along because INVESTIGATORY STUFF

[stonefaith]

Oooh yes BARIYAN WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ROS ALONG B) PERFECT

In terms of coordinating all this stuff ICly I'll probably have Bariyan make an awkward network post at some point, so Ros can hop in then!

[boughtabookstore]

a voice of reason /sob

awesome! I will make sure to hit that up. :D

[morsecodes]

/late but

hey, if you need a boat, Leo is totally your guy! He could fix up one no problem, and probably make it like ten times more awesome! B)

[stonefaith]

NAW NOT LATE AT ALL B) but yes sweet!! his help would be AWESOME actually yes *O*

[morsecodes]

okay, great!!! He's mentioned on the network before about building stuff for people, but he's also been remodeling a lot of training stuff in the training hall. Of course there are other ways for them to get on contact, or if you're planning a post about it. IDK. WHATEVER WORKS.

But yeah. He had just finished building an epic war ship before he was brought here, so this is totally right up his alley.

[stonefaith]

OH SWEET *O* i'd be completely willing to do a "bariyan stumbles into leo remodeling stuff" log if you'd like, but otherwise since there's a couple other characters here who're interested i think he'll also make a general network post anyway B)

[morsecodes]

just tagged your post, but I'm thinking about throwing up a log with Leo tinkering anyway~ it's something I've been meaning to do for a while. xD

[stonefaith]

HEH SWEET OH GOOD

I WILL DEFINITELY THROW BARIYAN INTO THAT LOG SOON ANYWAY B) prepare to have to deal with a really confused but impressed zombie thing

[morsecodes]

OKAY AWESOME!!! oh sweet zombie thing. At least he's not a ghost. leo doesn't like ghosts.

[school_of_mod]

WHY DIDN'T I SEE THIS BEFORE, SOB what is my life

ANYWAY

Mod is an inventor, and he seems to have been granted his own lab/storage area. If you can convince him and present him with idea, I'm sure he could fix up that boat of yours or make another one.

[stonefaith]

NP MAN HEH HEH and yes I am all for this!! Though I'm not sure if Bariyan here can ICly convince Mod, all he's really got is "because it'd be gr8 if you helped thx" :'C Though he's also pretty much willing to give up his stipend, if Mod would be swayed by that at all....

IN ANY CASE feel free to throw Mod this way AND WE CAN SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT I GUESS B)
