Day 201 [event post]

Who: Zahi and everyone who wants to go hunt down the cure
Open: Open
When: 201- onwards
Where: the monument, and then out on the Skyway
What: People in the Bastion are falling sick, and Zahi knows where a cure can be found. Unfortunately, it won't be easy to get to.
Format: action
Warnings: none

[On Day 201, after several people have fallen ill, another meeting is called. This time, however, it is not Nathaniel who has called for everyone. It's Zahi.]

Okay, I know everyone's been worried about the people in the hospital, and it looks like our fears weren't unfounded: some of the people who went on that last trip, they caught something.

I've been watching the symptoms, and I think I know what this is. A long time ago, back before Zayna was born, there was a terrible illness that claimed the lives of many Ura. Everyone who fell sick here, they had the same symptoms as those who caught the disease before.

On the plus side, this means that it can be cured. I know of a clinic, way out in the Terminals, where there should be some medicine stocked. Not only can we cure the sick, but we can give another kind of medicine to those who aren't sick yet, so they won't catch it at all.

The downside is that it's gonna take a while to get there. It'll be at least two days there, and possibly more to track down exactly where the clinic is, and then the same amount of time back. We're looking at a four-day minimum, which means we won't be much help to those who are sick right now. They'll either be dead or getting better by the time we get back.

Then there's the fact that it's really dangerous out there. Zayna and I were out on the Terminals before we came here, and let's just say that there's a reason we went looking for somewhere safer to stay.

If you'd rather stay here, I can understand that. The Bastion is an amazing place, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone here managed to save everyone. But I'm not a fan of putting all my eggs in one basket, so I figured it's worth a shot to go and try to get some of the medicine.

What do you guys think?

[Well, that was one way to be woken up, ranking just below the Calamity in terms of jarring. It was only a few minutes before Raile was standing before the dragon, his carbine and hammer strapped firmly to his back.]

Y'called?

I'm assuming its important.

[ Because its Paar.

Anyone looking closely might tell that it isn't the sun on her glasses that's making the shine, but a bit of lightning. Someone hasn't been very calm lately.

[Colin, meanwhile, has long since run to the Monument to start setting up cure synthesis. Dragon and burd will be briefing you now!]

[There's no answer until all three are finally gathered together. Tris' comment earns a nod.]

The cure has been found- Tobias has brought it to us. Yet as he left, the others were under attack.

[Short and sweet, to the point. Paar nods to Tris.]

Is it easier for you to summon storms, or use what is already at your disposal? The former, I would wish for you to ride upon me with Tobias. The latter- [His head turns to Raile.] Then it is your eyes I would wish to have with me. The two who are left may use the horse the Festival left for us.

Tell me quickly now- we take flight once Tobias returns. You will have to gather up whatever you need in haste.

Its easier for me to use mine. If there's one out there, I have to gain control of it.

[ She thinks for a moment longer, and implications - There usually isn't that much weather up on the skyway. ]

If one is just forming, I can add wind and take control that way. Its usually how I catch them.

Jus' tell me where t'go. I can ride t'skyway well enough t'drop in where I'm needed.

[Between his time here before and what he'd learn working for the Marshals, he knew how to fly the skys with the best of them. Landings...were a little tricker, but hey, he could get to the place quick enough and it wasn't like he didn't know the outlying areas around here well.]

[personal profile] wayofvoice 2014-06-30 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Then we fly together once more, Strunjud. One day it will be in kinder circumstances.

[Zayna is given a nod- go do what you have to do. They won't leave without her. Raile is spoken to next.]

We go together.

[His tone hints that he will hear no arguments on this.]

Yer the Marshal here. Jus' tell me when yer ready t'go and I'll glide next t'ya.

[It would be a little more turbulent riding the winds next to Paar's flapping wings, but so long as he minded his placement and kept his ears focused, he'd do just fine.]

Some day.

[ Tris inspects her skirts, then sets to organizing her braids a little while they wait. Some thicker ones are getting tucked down by her ears instead of up in their net. ]

[... So that's where it went. Tobias allows himself a brief moment of amusement at it, but once he's dropped the shards off with Colin he wheels back and lands in front of the gathered group. Hawk faces don't betray anything, and hawk body language is sufficiently different from human body language that he's not worried they'll see how tired he is.]

[He can sleep when this is over. Right now he has to fly. Once Zayna gets back, he stares at each of them in turn before he 'speaks'.]


<Here's the situation. There's some homes underground at the Terminals, near the clinic. While Zahi took one group to look inside the clinic, another group was scouting the area. We found a home that was booby-trapped and tried to disarm it, but it didn't go so well. Ahime was injured in the blast, and I tried to get her to stay still but it took a bit for her hearing to get back.>

[He ruffles his feathers a bit before continuing.]

<Someone started shooting at us, but they couldn't understand us. I went to get Zahi to send him back to the others, since I think they were Ura, too. I figured he'd be our best bet. But they found the cure and I had to fly it back, so I didn't see how it resolved. I think they should have been able to make it out, but I don't know who else got hurt. It took me a while to fly back, so I'm not sure how fast we can make it, but we should probably leave as soon as we can.>

[He pauses for a moment to stretch out his wings.]

<That's what happened and that's the plan. Any objections? Anyone need to use the bathroom? We're not going to be stopping on this road trip.>

That was supposed to be a long trip. You need to eat something - or get something you can eat on the way.

[ Tris may have only raised a starling, but birds. He can sleep later, yes, but some food now. ]

Lokkoraav, rest your wings. [Paarthurnax lowers his long neck, chin spikes brushing against hte ground.] Ride with Tris and I as our guide.

[The Tazal Terminals. A place Raile had been hoping he would never have to visit again, for all the horrible memories it brought up. His face visibly darkened and his lips pursed into a solid straight line, but he showed no signs of backing down. People's lives were at stake and if he needed to bring down the fury of his hammer once more...that's just how it had to be.]

I'll be over by t'skyway. Once y'take off, I'll be close behind.

[Raile raised a hand to the dragon and parted company. He wanted to be alone for this one, it was almost a requirement at this current moment. His face might have been steeled, but his heart wasn't yet walled off again and he could feel conflict stirring beneath the bricks and mortar.]
notachickenhawk: (hawkward)

[personal profile] notachickenhawk 2014-07-03 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Wait what. What is this concern for him. Tobias stares at Tris and then Paarthurnax, before he sags a little. Fine. He flutters up onto Paarthurnax's head, gripping one of the spikes near the top.]

<I can find something on the way. We need to head out now, we can't waste time.>
stormsinbraids: (Excuse yourself.)

[personal profile] stormsinbraids 2014-07-03 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tris scowls at the hawk, tugging a braid once or twice, before she sighs, dusts off some accumulated sparks like they were dirt, and climbs up on Paar as well. ]

I'll save any wind for the ride back, if we have any who need more urgent a flight.

[Paar carefully shifts, raising up his neck to make sure that both Tris and Tobias are settled. With that certain...]

[Hello, welcome aboard Giant Motherfucking Dragon Airlines, this is your Captain speaking. We are now taking off. Please make sure you are properly strapped in and all electronic devices are turned off.]
notachickenhawk: (bird: free)

[personal profile] notachickenhawk 2014-07-05 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Dragon Airlines is so much better than American Airlines. More room, too. Tobias adjusts his grip as they take off. He's tired so he's not doing much besides pointing the way to the others as they go.]
