Day 311: Not!Event

[bastionpc]

Who: Zahi + anyone else who wants to talk to him (plus other NPCs if you want to talk to them)
Open: Open
When: Day 311
Where: Near the distillery, during lunchtime.
What: FIELD TRIP
Format: action
Warnings: none

[On a day just like any other day, Zahi is struck with an idea. It is an idea he hopes will help cheer some of the people here up a bit.]

Say...most of you didn't get to see the terminals, right? We go through there all the time to take supplies to that camp of Ura, and by now the monsters are really thinned out. Since it's safer, we should take a trip out there, so people who can't normally go out on the Skyway can see it!

[Well. At least he is thinking of planning first, that helps right?]

((OOC: If a trip is agreed upon, it won't be happening in this post. This is an IC interest check for such a trip. It's also a good spot to express any thoughts or concerns over said trip.

The other NPCs are around too, so if you want to talk to one specifically, put their name in the header of your comment. Otherwise you get Zahi.))

Comments

[notachickenhawk]

[Tobias flutters down, looking up at Zahi.]

<I'm in.>

[bastionpc]

[Best burdbuddy]

I figured you would be, and I won't say no to a pair of eyes in the sky.

[notachickenhawk]

[Obviously.]

<I've been wanting to see it anyway. And someone's gotta watch our backs.>

[bastionpc]

Hopefully this time we can go without people shooting at us.

[He says that with a laugh.]

[notachickenhawk]

<That'd be nice. Not that I don't like the occasional excitement, but it's hard to sightsee while dodging bullets.>

[Or laser beams, but... yeah.]

[darkshooter]

[A couple of those terms don't get immediate recognition, but Shooter's fairly certain she understands the message. An expedition out to a place not normally visited, with the claim that it is not especially dangerous.]

[...why not? She enjoys the Bastion, sure enough, but she'd rather not become too restless...]




[The classic nod.]

[bastionpc]

Ah, a lady of few words!

[Zahi hasn't met Shooter yet, but she seems agreeable enough, so he will be friendly.]

If you're not one for danger, then don't worry. Even if the possibility of danger is very low, we'll still take some trained fighters with us, just in case.

[darkshooter]

[Excuse me, what? I am a fighter--]

[...let it pass. It is likely he meant no offense.]

[darkshooter]

I am a fighter.

I will defend you.

[bastionpc]

[Oho, so she is a fighter! Zahi just smiles at that.]

Aaah, well then! That would be a benefit, if you're up to it. Gods know we can always use fighters around here.

[freedom_engineer]

That could be interesting. I probably should go pay another visit to the camp out there and see how the condensers are performing for them.

[Colin considers this.]

I'm also going to be making another trip to the observatory in a day or two. Heavens and Hells, I'm traveling a lot it seems.

Anything out there you think I'd like?

[He grins over at Zahi.]

[bastionpc]

Mmm, not sure, that wasn't quite the area I tromped around in. Nate would know more about the observatory wouldn't he?

[freedom_engineer]

Oh, no no, I already know a lot of what's out in the observatory. I meant the terminals. I haven't wanted to bother the Ura, so my trips to their camp have been quick, no diversion affairs, and I've gone only where they wanted me to.

My observatory comment was just because of how many long trips I've been planning to take.

[bastionpc]

Aaah, I get it now.

Well, the terminals are actually a bit colder than they used to be. I expect there'll be snow there before too long. Somehow it ended up 'higher' in the Skyway. So preparin' for cold would be a good idea.

[unwrittenformula]

The... Terminals?

[N wasn't much for traveling, often being in the Bastion with several young Pokemon to care for and not much in the way of skills outside of that. He only heard things second hand most of the time when it came to whatever trips were taken out to the Skyway.

Zahi just happened to catch him in a moment when he was walking about with Zoroark and Darumaka, the later in his arms as her short legs made longer walks difficult.]

I don't travel out there much at all, actually.

[bastionpc]

Yeah, a lot of people here don't, which is why I was thinkin' that a trip might be nice. The Bastion is big, but bein' stuck here for months can give anyone cabin fever.

[unwrittenformula]

It would be... interesting. Are you sure it would be safe, though?

[bastionpc]

As safe as any trip to the Skyway would be. Since we've been going that way to see the Ura camp, the monsters have all thinned out, making it a lot safer. It's not perfectly safe, so we'd need fighters just in case, but it wouldn't be as dangerous as a core hunt or anything.

[fuckthemancers]

[Sorry, what was that? Zulf can't respond because he's smiling so wide it might actually be impossible for his mouth to form any words right now.]

[Give him a moment.]

[bastionpc]

I'll take that smile as a 'yes' then.

[fuckthemancers]

Of course!

[Zulf finally snaps out of it, but he's still beaming.]

I've been trying to plan a trip out there for ages, but with so much happening... I've constantly had to push any idea of it happening back!

[bastionpc]

Well, now we can make a plan for it, though it'll be a little bit from now. Still gotta get ready for everything and such.

[blackblooded]

I'll go. [Crona helps sometimes, with carrying and guarding supplies.]

I can protect people, if you want that.

[bastionpc]

Perfect! Though hopefully you won't have to, I think the monsters are learnin' their lesson about messin' with us.

[blackblooded]

I hope so. It's... we shouldn't have to hurt them just to stay safe.
