Personification Life - IC Part IV

[Tiltjuice]

I hummed. "One vodka straight up for Lidev, one tankard of JP-5 jet fuel for the mysterious stranger in the corner, and one Sprite for Gio." I couldn't help smiling at Gio's cheeriness.

Cuisine's neat floating serving tray flew about, dispensing the drinks.

[Swith Witherward]

Monique sat down and put her hands on the wheel. "Is this just like driving a bus?" she asked Fortu, "because it might be better if you actually did it first so I know what to do."

"Yes, I kept the controls the same. Except the wibbly lever controls altitude." Fortu explained.

Monique promptly stood up. "Wibbly levers put it in the jet pack category. Nothing flies like a raptor." She smiled and offered him the seat.

[Giovenith]

I hummed. "One vodka straight up for Lidev, one tankard of JP-5 jet fuel for the mysterious stranger in the corner, and one Sprite for Gio." I couldn't help smiling at Gio's cheeriness.

Cuisine's neat floating serving tray flew about, dispensing the drinks.

"Yaaaaaaay!" Giovenith clapped her hands in delight.

[Monfrox]

Lidev took the shot of Vodka and downed it in about 2 seconds. "Another." She said, pausing to let the shiver flow trough her body for a brief moment.

[Torsiedelle]

Torii took a seat next to Lidev, getting comfy.

"I think I'll stay here with you, dear."

[Germanic Templars]

"Too bad for them that all the prey can do is run. They run till they tire them self or until they die." *He again said unknowingly. He shook his head and followed Swith into the kitchen, and pulled himself a chair.*

"The boy needs more clarity on his path, and convert him if you want. Sad. He reminds me of some of the fellows I fought with during the crusades."

Swith set a cup of coffee in front of Thriller and reflected on his words. "Maybe it's all they know how to do? It's the only defense they know? It's worked before, so they do it over and over. They're too spooked to do anything else, maybe." She sat down in the chair. "Perhaps they just need to learn that not every person in the woods is out to take them down."

"I... um... can make toast. Or split pea soup. I... don't know how to cook," she admitted. "NVE stopped teaching me once Gretta came along."

--

Naomi snorted at the others' scorn towards the fanatic. "He's just firm in his convictions," she muttered and walked away.

"It's okay, I can't cook that well either. And NVE..." *he paused for a bit and took a sip of his black coffee*..I swear he use to be better than this, but when she came along, he changed for the worse. Still he's happy... even if it's at the expense of others."

[Tiltjuice]

I poured a whiskey for myself and turned to the others. "So, what else is out there? I don't imagine you guys live here year-round, do you?" I shivered. "I hope not, anyway. It's too cold!"

The tray slid neatly under another vodka shot and lifted it over to Lidev.

OOC - Heading out for lunch soon.

[Monfrox]

Torii took a seat next to Lidev, getting comfy.

"I think I'll stay here with you, dear."

Lidev smiled and kissed her cheek. "Thanks, love." She said.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Yes, I kept the controls the same. Except the wibbly lever controls altitude." Fortu explained.

Monique promptly stood up. "Wibbly levers put it in the jet pack category. Nothing flies like a raptor." She smiled and offered him the seat.

"Are you sure?" Fortu said sitting down. He turned the key and the engine hummed to life and gave off a green glow.

[Swith Witherward]

"It's okay, I can't cook that well either. And NVE..." *he paused for a bit and took a sip of his black coffee*..I swear he use to be better than this, but when she came along, he changed for the worse. Still he's happy... even if it's at the expense of others."

"Oh, I'm glad you said that. I thought maybe I was the only one who thought that regarding Gretta's arrival. He is very happy, though. More power to them."

Swith rummaged around the fridge and brought out pork and salad. "It's not breakfast, but it's good," she said. "When does Aleki return?"

--

"Yes!" Monique squealed and drummed on the back of Fortu's seat. "Do you hear that? That's all you, Handsome!" She sat down in a seat and encouraged him to make the bus move.

[Monfrox]

I poured a whiskey for myself and turned to the others. "So, what else is out there? I don't imagine you guys live here year-round, do you?" I shivered. "I hope not, anyway. It's too cold!"

The tray slid neatly under another vodka shot and lifted it over to Lidev.

OOC - Heading out for lunch soon.

"We have an apartment at in a city somewhere in Japan that is our original home." Lidev replied, downing the second shot. "Another."

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Yes!" Monique squealed and drummed on the back of Fortu's seat. "Do you hear that? That's all you, Handsome!" She sat down in a seat and encouraged him to make the bus move.

He stepped on the accelerator, pushing the bus forward slowly. He then pulled the wibbly lever and the bus hovered above the ground and glided forward. "It works! I can't believe it actually works!" Fortu said cheerfully.

[Germanic Templars]

Swith rummaged around the fridge and brought out pork and salad. "It's not breakfast, but it's good," she said. "When does Aleki return?"

"I thank you for the food."*He took some of the salad and pork and took bites out of each* "Alexi? Hell if I know. Now regarding to the couple, as much as I would like to kill them, they haven't really done any significant for me to intervene and rip their spines out. True, they gave me a live bomb that exploded upon opening for Christmas, but still." *he took another bite from his food and a sip from his coffee*

[Torsiedelle]

Torii continued to sip at her drink, suppressing a belch.

"Vodka, eh? It's good for getting wasted."

[Swith Witherward]

He stepped on the accelerator, pushing the bus forward slowly. He then pulled the wibbly lever and the bus hovered above the ground and glided forward. "It works! I can't believe it actually works!" Fortu said cheerfully.

Monique poked her head out of the window. "Fortu, we're off the ground! I mean really off the ground. You genius! I knew you could make this work!"

She leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Hit it!"

--

"I love NVE too much to rip his spine out. Gretta is skirting my patience," Swith admitted, "But they haven't really done anything too heinous yet... that I'm aware of. Except for the live bomb. No re-gifting that."

She leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Hit it!"

Fortu floored the accelerator. The bus sped up and rose into the sky as he checked the radiation levels. "Thank you Monique for believing in me." He said and headed in the general direction of the mainland.

[Germanic Templars]

"I love NVE too much to rip his spine out. Gretta is skirting my patience," Swith admitted, "But they haven't really done anything too heinous yet... that I'm aware of. Except for the live bomb. No re-gifting that."

"I hear ya on that. Still I guess that makes the score Thriller 2 or 3, Raptors 0... They've been trying to make me look dumb or do such things like that, and they are failing. Hard. However, can't let my arrogance blind me, for all I know i'm just nipping the tip of the iceberg. Oh sorry about that, just rambling on about nothing."

[Monfrox]

Torii continued to sip at her drink, suppressing a belch.

"Vodka, eh? It's good for getting wasted."

"Unless you have a grip on your liquor." Lidev replied.

[Torsiedelle]

Torii continued to sip at her drink, suppressing a belch.

"Vodka, eh? It's good for getting wasted."

"Unless you have a grip on your liquor." Lidev replied.

Torii frowned, then shot a grin.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

She chuckled a bit.

[Swith Witherward]

Fortu floored the accelerator. The bus sped up and rose into the sky as he checked the radiation levels. "Thank you Monique for believing in me." He said and headed in the general direction of the mainland.

"You're someone worth believing in," she assured Fortu. "And now that we know this works, we should rip out all these bottom level seats and make it into something useful." She sat back on the bench seat and watched a group of pelicans pass underneath them.

--

"Thriller, NVE has something you don't... he's mentally unhinged and blindly insane. He once tried to kill his own conscious. That's how Naomi sprung into being. Now I don't even know if Arthur VanDelay is even alive in that head of his." She frowned and sipped her coffee. "I miss him. Arthur was my dearest friend, second only to Bran."



OOC: I'll need to head to bed soon. I have to get up very early tomorrow.

[Monfrox]

"Unless you have a grip on your liquor." Lidev replied.

Torii frowned, then shot a grin.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

She chuckled a bit.

"I don't get drunk that easily. My liver is fairly resilient too. Hence the reason why I drink full bottles to get drunk, instead of shot glasses. If I'm gonna get drunk, I'm not going to waste time about it." She said back.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

Fortu floored the accelerator. The bus sped up and rose into the sky as he checked the radiation levels. "Thank you Monique for believing in me." He said and headed in the general direction of the mainland.

"You're someone worth believing in," she assured Fortu. "And now that we know this works, we should rip out all these bottom level seats and make it into something useful." She sat back on the bench seat and watched a group of pelicans pass underneath them.

The bus cilmbed high into the night. "We could pay for it with tommorows winnings, assuming the Microwave-lockpick works." Fortu said.

[Germanic Templars]

OOC: I'll need to head to bed soon. I have to get up very early tomorrow.

"I'm sure we all do." *he finished up eating his food and drinking his coffee. He got up and placed his dishes into the sink, he then turned towards the door. On his way out he gave Swith a kiss on the cheek* "Back to the lab again, i'll see ya sometime later. If i'm not busy." *With that, he walked out the door and back to his workshop*

-Workshop-

"Is it alive?" "Sapphire, dear, we need to kick start it again. Go and flip the switch again." *Sapphire sighed and walked back over to the switch and flipped it down again.* "Just a little more power!" "I'm giving all that we can use!" "Well divert more power then!" "Screw you, Mai, I actually like to prevent myself being shocked to shit!"

[Swith Witherward]

The bus cilmbed high into the night. "We could pay for it with tommorows winnings, assuming the Microwave-lockpick works." Fortu said.

"It'll work. The bus works. If it doesn't work, we'll grab as much cash as we can and make a run for it," she laughed. "At least we can write the casino tab off as "research".

--

Swith returned Thriller's kiss. "You're welcome to return any time," she smiled, understanding his need to work.

She walked into the lagoon, threw her sarong over a chair and swam to the door at the very bottom.


OOC: Goodnight!

[The BranRiech]

"Now there are six steps in the Scientific method. The First is Observation." Gretta said and put on her labcoat. "You see that it rains in the desert, yet there is no water." NVE said. "Next is Questioning." Gretta said. "You want to know where the water comes from and where it goes." NVE said. "Time for a hypothesis, where do you think it comes from?" Gretta asked.

"All of the Cactuses?" Rachelle asked curiously, reading that Cacti had some water in them.

--

Rylli was swimming around near the beach looking for something to do, she was waiting for Bran and Rachelle to come back from Rachelle's lesson.

OOC: See 'Ya Swith!
