  1. "I'm not one for singing either, sorry, novella. I have a story or two of my own to tell, if we all just want to exchange stories." Gearbox said, looking over at Plauge's mask. He wondered if any of his stories would include anything behind that mask. He thought about his own goggles, hiding his own mark which he wouldn't talk about either. Perhaps he'd single him later to ask, but he assumed that he'd know the answer.
  2. The end of portal 2, when the turrets are singing to you. Just thinking about everything you've gone through with GLADoS and she just kicks you out. Walking Dead, And Kingdoms hearts 358/2 days.
  3. Gearbox looked up from his log he was writing on to so everypony at the fire. He smiled when he realized they couldn't see him. If he was more of a playful or social person he'd scare one of them, but gearbox was typically anti-social, yet found this trip kept bringing him into more and more social situations. He wasn't sure if he like that, but as he tried to work again he found he couldn't focus. He eventually gave up, deciding to walk over to the fire. "At least im not the only one who can't sleep." He said, finding a place to sit down.
  4. "Very well. Ill go to sleep for now then. I may stay up for a bit." Gearbox walked back to his scrolls and shifted among them, pulling out a quill and marking the pages, then took a fresh paper out and began to copy parts of the original ship schematics. It would be long work, but it'll take a while.
  5. "I feel i must mention one problem, captain." Gearbox awkwardly approached her. "But if this ship is going to work, we will need to...Well," He paused. "I can make adjustments to make this ship move without engines, but we still need sails, and rope. We could get some from the ship, but its miles underwater now. We wouldn't breathe or withstand the pressure."
  6. @, "Thanks. I need all the friends i can get in this world." He rolled open one of the bigger scrolls, one that had a mark. "This is a plan for....Well, as simply as possible, a flying ship. Not a modern ship, those are far too heavy. An older ship, like a pirate one. It uses the tech of hot air balloons and steam engines to move."
  7. @,@@harmonyplus, Gearbox paused for a moment before smiling. "Yes... I know what they are, its the small details that escape me, important as they are. If you could mess with my memories..." Gearbox paused before turning to Compass. "You are right, but i do have...." He licked his lips. "I must ask that what i show you now will not leave this island, both of you. I've spent far to much time on it to leave it with someone else."
  8. @ Gearbox frowned, looking off to the side. "I don't know. I don't remember the last time i flew." He rubbed one of his wings with his hoof. "I don't even know if these work." Gearbox walked around the log to the other side, so he'd be directly facing Selune. "Unfortunately they'd only work for pegasi as of now. Maybe in the future all will fly, but for now..." He looked back at his Brass wings. "Even i might not."
  9. @ "I had copies. Only some of them. I guess i overestimated our chances of not crashing and brought originals." Gearbox shifted his scrolls around. "Miscellaneous things. One is an engine. One is a ship thing. One is the wings on my back. Bet you were wondering about that?"
  10. Gearbox jumped a bit at selune. He didnt hear her coming, and he had spaced out, thinking about those scrolls.... "Its, uh... Some of my inventions. The ones i saved, anyway." He looked over the scrolls one last time before he sighed. " I had so many....Who knows how many years i lost in those few minutes. I dont suppose you'd understand?"
  11. Gearbox found an overturned log of some sort, and found it was flat enough to act as a table. He layed out his bag and pulled a few papers from it. "Engine, wings, box, ship. The big stuffs here." He comforted himself, trying to ignore the fact he saved so little, compared to the trunk full he came on the ship with.
  12. "Where ever we are, its not any island that we would have mapped out." Gearbox walked around, getting a look of the area. "I've been around, and i've certainly never seen anything like this...place. This is about as wild as it gets. As far as i ca tell, i see no signs of pony life. We might be the first ones."
  13. "Im good with a hammer." Gearbox said, dropping his hooves onto the sand. "If we can get some logs, i have a hammer and nails to keep something together." He reached his head back and opened his pouch, grabbing a hammer in his mouth. "I dont suppose anyone's got an axe?"
  14. "Land ho, everyone. We'll be on the island whiten a few minutes." Gearbox smiled, happy he would be on stable land soon, the rickety sway of the sea never failed to upset his stomach. With some alone time, he might be able to see exactly what he scavenged. It was a good thing that pegasus survived as well, now he would have a way to test his wings, hopefully before he actually needed them.
  15. "You've written books, you say?" Gearbox said, turning his head towards novella for a secound, before facing his head forward to row again. "I've been writing a book as well, on my inventions and such...But i've never been good with words." He turned his eyes on her, but his goggles hid most of his facial expressions, leaving his emotion a blank. "You know what i mean?"
  16. As Gearbox looked ahead, he clicked something on the side of his goggles and a small glass came down over it. "We should reach there pretty fast, the currents on our side, we got 4 rowing...i'd say in about 20 minutes." He clicked the button again, retracting the glass scope. He looked over at novella. "You got a story too?"
  17. Gearbox looked between wheatley and selune. "I've visited cloudsdale before, i helped make some of there machines. But there's never enough pegasi to completely control the weather, and they wouldn't keep watch over the sea. Sometimes they just push hard weather into it."
  18. "Gearbox is the name. I was born in manehatten but i moved around a lot, so i never really had a home. Through a...Unfortunate series of events, i lost my parents and wings, and was led into a life of inventing. I went on this journey to hopefully discover some new materials, after i lost most of mine and my money. And yes, this certainly is an interesting trip..."
  19. Gearbox smiled at compass. "Not like we can deny the captain's wish to help, can we?" He handed her his oar, and picked up the last one, sitting next to him. "Perhaps now that things have calmed a bit, i realize none of us know each others names,. at least some of us. Anyone care to introduce themself?"
  20. Gearbox kept his head down, thinking about his wings. "I having done any live tests yet, but...It's possible that it'll be work." He turned to Compass. "But if you saw some land, then i guess i wont find out yet." He said, clearly avoiding Wheatley's question about his wings.
  21. As gearbox picked up an oar to help rowing, he looked over at wheatley. "I think i saw some land up north, but were to low now to know, if Kyznetsov could fly up..." He barely finished muttering between his teeth and the oar when he remembered that he was out. Gearbox gulped as he thought of an idea. "Unless..." He looked at the brass of his wings as he nervously gulped again.
  22. Gearbox, looking through his bag, realized how little he saved and sighed again. He looked over at everyone offering to row. He thought about his weakness wouldn't help much, but they need any they can get. "You...guys need an extra hoof?" He said nervously, hoping he actually could help them row.
  23. Gearbox looked over the sinking ship, hanging his front hooves of the boat, mourning silently to himself, about the lives lost and his tools lost. He looked into his bag to see what he managed to grab. He saw his usual hammer and tongs and such, and thought about how long it would take to get to shore, but he was just glad he was alive.
  24. Gearbox fell down from the balcony above, being thrown by the water. He managed to get swept along, almost flyign past the life boat, but managing to grab onto a rail and slowly drag himself over to the boat, trying to pull himself in. "A little help please?"
  25. Gearbox was thrown against the wall as he was hit by the water. He frantically waved his hooves towards the door, his wings thankfully still working, swishing him forwards toward the door, where he found other ponies panicking. He sees the captain, and began swimming towards her. "Captain! Where are the lifeboats?"
