open Sky Pirates (Adventure/Humor)

[Gray_Spectrum 7]

"It IS incredible!!" Said Lume, unable to contain her excitement.

 

"Listen to this, Cap'n... The graph in the engine room shows, on the lower-aft deck, a pair weird looking, blacked out spots on both sides of the ship. When I took a closer look... Oh boy, I can't be wrong on this! Sir, those are deactivated Mecha Turbine Tripods V7000!! They are turbo engines prototypes powered by an emerald shard core inside each of them, heavily concentrated with unicorn magic. If those things are set up correctly, banish me to the moon and call me Luna, they can break the speed of sound!!" She stopped for a few seconds and tried to regain her breath.

 

"You have no idea of how rare these are... Myself, I've never seen one of those in action, I thought they were still being tested... Captain, with those puppies downstairs, we can even outrun Cat-G aircrafts! ...Please, let me try to activate them... I beg you."

"the hay is a Meta Turbo Triforce V8?" he said thoroughly baffled by the explanation Lume gave looking more stupid that he usually does.

 

"Is it really that fast?" he asks in a hopeful tone, wide eyed and a big grin on his face getting slightly to close to Lume for either of there comfort 

[TheLineTrotter 100]

Vincent huffed as he watched the stallion walk away. Kin? KIn? Him? Bullshit.A pegasus, maybe, and that`s a big maybe, but a mud-pony? As if. He heard shouting and blinked, running off to where the mare named Lume worked, where he heard her voice. She spoke of a bunch of unicorn crap he didn`t fully unerstand: magic had never been his strong suit, even in study. Wasn`t the type of thing he himself read. Still, he understood what it meant: these crystals, which could be used as...'storage' for unicorn magic to be released later, would allow the airship to go crazy fast. He looked at the Captain "Sir, will all due respect, I suggest we don`t activate these. This ship might not be ble to handle that kind of speed. I Heck, WE probrably can`t hanle the speed of sound without facing physical damage, maybe even passing out." He sighed, forcing himself to remember rank. "Of course, it is your call in the end, Captain."

@, Gloom goes back to normal when he hears Star. "Hey Star Belly, you're up. I thought that you would be out a lot longer." Gloom always like Star, she reminded him of someone who he use to know. So he sometime treats her like a little sister. "And no, I ain't find that sly bastard yet." He rubs the top of her heard ."Look like you got a real knot on your melon."

[Duskrunner 22]

Pain unlike anything Duskrunner felt in his life before was assaulting him. He blinked, he grogged, he wiped his mouth and felt the mother of all kinks in his neck from sleeping upside down and strapped to a whale for a night. The he realized what the pain was: daylight.

He was frakin freezing. Staying all night under the cool stars in a balloon at hundred or thousands of heads above ground was NOT a wise thing to do.

Feebly he rummaged inside his vest, found a sugar candy, and popped it in his mouth. His belly growled anyway.

'Dangit. Those shipnappers... 'Shipnappers? Man, I AM sleep deprived. They hijacked a ship. At best they're privateers, at worst full on corsairs. Sabeteurs or enemy spies is possible though. All right. I can stay up here and freeze or starve and... oh boy."

 

His stomach really lurched and he realized he was thirsty as hell to.

"Ok, no choice."

 

As bad a position as he was he moved along the top of the whale until he was as close to the helm as he could get and then climbd down the rigging. As soon as he had visual to the helmsman he pulled out one of the rigging pegs he'd stuffed in his armbarnds and flung it at the wheel.

"Parly! I said parley!"

[Lume WMj 228]

"Is it really that fast?" he asks in a hopeful tone, wide eyed and a big grin on his face getting slightly to close to Lume for either of there comfort 

 

"It is, sir! We will become unstoppable with those engines on our side!" Lume turned away, thoughtful. "I just need some time to study them closely... Maybe if I connect them to the main engines, then the ship's stability woul--"

 

"Sir, will all due respect, I suggest we don`t activate these. This ship might not be able to handle that kind of speed. Heck, WE probably can`t handle the speed of sound without facing physical damage, maybe even passing out." He sighed, forcing himself to remember rank. "Of course, it is your call in the end, Captain."

 

Her out-loud thoughts were cut short by the griffon's interruption. She hadn't even notice him on the ship before, but she did soon recognize him as the navigator - the late. Unfortunately, because of his disagreement with activating the turbines, and because of all the excitement involved, the orange mare's first impressions of him had been anything but positive.

 

"Woah woah woah! Hold on a second, mate!" Lume lightly pushed Gray out of the way and fiercely stomped her way towards the griffon. " The Mecha Turbine Tripods were designed to adapt to any size of transport. It uses the magic contained in the emerald shards to adjust the gravity within a few meters around the engines in order to keep the aircraft from breaking. That's why I said it needs to be correctly set-up, by a professional such as moi!"

 

"Now tell me... What makes you think that you can just fly your way up to this ship and tell me what to do with my machinery?? Ha ha, well then, very nice to meet you, I'm the goddamn mechaninc of this crew! So do me a favor and mind your own freaking business, will ya?"

 

(( OOC: Sorry if that was way too harsh... But boy, did I have fun writing that! ;D ))

@,

Vincent raised an eyebrow as the mare yelled at him, listening to her rantings. Her explanation for how the ship wouldn`t break apart didn`t make total sense to Vincent, but he could tell what she meant. When she finally finished, Vincent looked at her with a fairly neutral expression, before bowing his head respectfully  "My apologies." he said simply. "I Admit, magic is not my area of expertise. I was simply attempting to offer my advice as much as I could. You are correct, however. I do not know how to run these machines, least of all as well as you. I shall trust that you know what you are doing." he said, ending the bow an tilting his head at the mare. It was how Griffin society could be, at time. You did you job, and trusted the others to do thiers. "I do not believe we have offically met.... Lume, was it?"

 

(nah, it was fine )

[Duskrunner 22]

Dusk blinked. Did the Helmsman miss him or did he fall asleep at the wheel.
"Hello? I'd like to talk to whoever the Captain is! is there anypony on board??"

Not sure if it was a good idea but with no other choice Dusk climbed off the rigging and got on deck. Idly he looked over the edge to see if they were over land or water.

Gray quickly intervened and became more serious than any of you have ever seen him. He did not feel like the same idiot of a captain you have all seen so far

 

"Lume for now until I feel the need to Redo my judgement on this It does not seem like a good idea.However..." 

 

He quickly became Cheerful and Child like again "I trust you!"

 

" I will let you commence working on it! On one condition of course" he said with wink "you will only run it at 2% efficiency until I Know the thing works properly"

 

After he said those last words he became overly exited and started jumping around, putting his arms around Lume and Vincent " We are going to go sooooo fast! HEHE!" 

 

"Hey i just remembered I was knocked out earlier We need to Find the guy who drugged me! Oh Pony Feathers! We need to find him!"

From anypony else, she would've hated being called Star Belly, because it made her sound fat, but she liked(as in most fond of) Gloom too much to care. " Crap. Well, I guess it would be a bad idea to hide here anyway. I'm gonna see if there is any cheese I can have for breakfast. See ya!"

 

( i wasnt sure what time it was so i guessed around dawn)

[Duskrunner 22]

"Oh dear."

Logic and common sense, and biology, finally took their course and Duskrunner made a straight beeline for the single most important room in the entire ship: the head.

He galloped at full speed, down into the main area, past an orange pony with a beret (didn't even see her technically), into the small wooden room with an etching of the moon and slammed the door shut.

[Gloomfury 243]

Gloom shrugs and heads off to look for that stowaway or Gray to see if he woke up yet. While on his ways though the hallways He passes the bathroom and the engine room. When he reaches the bridge, he find Gray up and at em. @@Gray_Spectrum, "Hey boss, seems like you're finally up."

[Lume WMj 228]

When she finally finished, Vincent looked at her with a fairly neutral expression, before bowing his head respectfully  "My apologies." he said simply. "I Admit, magic is not my area of expertise. I was simply attempting to offer my advice as much as I could. You are correct, however. I do not know how to run these machines, least of all as well as you. I shall trust that you know what you are doing."

 

Lume was, needless to say, greatly confused by the griffon's reaction to what she believed to be a threatening. After that sudden explosion, with name-callings and what not, she was deeply expecting to begin a fight, make a new enemy or something around these lines. But politeness was, indeed, a huge surprise.

 

"I do not believe we have offically met.... Lume, was it?"

 

"G-Greenpark... Lume Greenpark..." Still rather astonished and unable to reason properly, she just kept staring dumbfounded at the navigator in front of her. She wasn't sure what to think about his character now, much less about herself.

 

"Lume for now until I feel the need to Redo my judgement on this It does not seem like a good idea.However..." 

 

The mare immediately snapped out upon noticing the seriousness on the Captain's tone of voice. She was ready to receive the severe scolding she deserved. However...

 

He quickly became Cheerful and Child like again "I trust you!"

 

" I will let you commence working on it! On one condition of course" he said with wink "you will only run it at 2% efficiency until I Know the thing works properly"

 

After he said those last words he became overly exited and started jumping around, putting his arms around Lume and Vincent " We are going to go sooooo fast! HEHE!" 

"Hey i just remembered I was knocked out earlier We need to Find the guy who drugged me! Oh Pony Feathers! We need to find him!"

 

Lume blinked. Yet again, she was caught unaware by unexpected reactions. "Aye, sir..." She replied, those being the only words she was able to make up. Only then, when Gray mentioned it, she remembered that he had been drugged and left unconscious for a while.

 

Of all things, Lume could only laugh at the situation. A cheerful, warm laughter suddenly overtook the mare. It felt odd. It felt... happy.

[Cerise Hood 102]

Duskrunner zipped past Star Belle, almost making her drop her SASS ( Surprise Attack Supplies & Stuff), but she didn't really care. As she stepped into the kitchen, she noticed the blue-gray pegasus hiding in the shadows. I found him, she thought. I think it would be best if I pretended I didn't notice him, so I could get close to him without getting hurt. "Cheese, cheese, cheese..." Star Belle repeated, inching toward the pony. "Ah-ha!" She shouted, flinging her marbles toward him and in two seconds she threw the bedsheet and herself on top of him with a scream of delight.

[Moonlight Fire 20]

Moonlight let out a sigh as she was left alone in the kitchen, and began sifting through food. She was slightly tired from using some of her magic to heal Vincent, and decided food was probably the best way to regain her energy.

 

Suddenly, she heard chewing coming from a corner, and rolled her eyes to see Crimson. "Of course I'm left with you," she muttered at him.

[TheLineTrotter 100]

Vincent noticed the mare seemed surprised by her reaction, but didn`t feel the need to point it out to her: It could, potentially, just embarrass the mare. As the mare introduced herself, he nodded. "Vincent Stormwalker. I`d love to continue speaking, but I`m afraid I..." he blinked as the Captain spoke of the engines, giving a light sigh in relief "I appreciate you showing caution, Captain, now I must ask-" he blinked at the Captain spoke of ai intruder, suddenly bristleing, his stance changeing completely, his eyes glancing around the machinery as if suspecting an assassin behind every cog. "An intruder? Where was he? Was it a Pegasus? If so, he may have left the ship. Sir, why didn`t you tell me sooner?" he looked at the captain and took a breath. "sir, do you believe I should fly up to the Crow`s nest when we have an intruder on board? He may be a spy, or a guard that was on board! Besides, I need to know where we are going so I may plot our course."

[RAGESTAR 479]

crimson noticed moonlight giving him a wry look out of the corner of his eye as ate, but he took a long swig of his rum before responding to her comment, "I know, right? because im TOTALLY the worst pony you could be stuck with on this ship...no seriously, I really am the worst, after all, I would think you would find it a bit awkward that im dating your best friend..." said crimson before taking another swig of rum.

 

((quick question moonlight, is crimson still considered to be dating whiplash? or are we separating the timelines of the RPs? if so, ignore that last part...))

[Gray_Spectrum 7]

not wasting a second of time the Hat obsessed Captain Exclaimed "Ok here's my Plan Lume and Gloom need to get the rest of the crew together and meet here Vincent i need you to be an eye in the sky,  you ll need to take these"

 

Gray hands Vincent, Lume, And Gloom Ear pieces " these are long range Intercoms I came up with when I Was just another Thief. They work up to about 3 miles apart. Vincent i made yours a little differently, not only is yours designed for a Griffin it also has a radius of 5 miles.

 

We will be using these to communicate with each other while looking for the Stowaway. If you find him do not engage Simply inform the rest or the crew.

 

Lume and Gloom Give these extras to the other crew members as you find them!" Gray looked determined

 

"contact me when you find the others. To turn your com on and off just press the button on the side they are virtually invisible and you can't feel them while they are in your ears." Gray ran off to start looking for the Mysterious Stowaway before anypony/Griffin could say a word

 

Rushing through the ship Gray hears a noise from a nearby bathroom "Oi is somepony in there? Get out here now! Its an emergency!"

@,

 

((Let's just keep him dating Whiplash, I think it'll get more interesting that way.)

 

Moonlight gave him a glare as she found a sandwich. "I don't know what she see's in you. Well, you're both hard-headed numbskulls," she said, struggling not to keep a smirk off of her face.

[RAGESTAR 479]

crimson smirked and shrugged, "besides my devilishly good looks, uncanny fighting ability and irresistible charm? then I don't know either! but hay, whatever it is, it works and im good at it. but you are right, I really do have a hard skull, its kinda like stone sometimes...it sometimes makes it hard to swim" said crimson with a chuckle before finishing off the last of his rum, looking at the now empty flask with disappointment.

[Moonlight Fire 20]

@,

 

Moonlight rolled her eyes at Crimson with a soft chuckle, before taking a bite of her sandwich. She was personally outraged him and Whiplash were dating, but hay, she could deal with him. "Yeah, sure, whatever you say," the unicorn said. "Hmph, you drink too mu-" Moonlight let her sentence trail off as she heard the captain and some other ponies tallking on a different deck. It sounded urgent.

[Duskrunner 22]

Hiding in a bathroom is a bad idea. Hiding in an outhouse is worse. Doing so in a sealed airship for an extended period of time is the new definition of Tartaurus.
Dusk opened the door, holding a peg in each hand like clubs and faced a Gray pony with broken lense on his glasses and a hat with a hole in it.

"Take me to your leader." He barely got out.
Then his stomach rumbled.

[Lume WMj 228]

"Vincent Stormwalker. I`d love to continue speaking, but I`m afraid I..."

 

Lume was rather startled by Vincent's sudden change of attitude when Captain Gray mentioned the stowaway. Now that she thought about it, perhaps she wasn't giving the importance the crew's current situation deserved. After all, who was that bandit, and how and why did he drug Gray? If that continued, nopony could possibly know what would happen.

 

The mare decided to take it more serious from now on, as Captain Grey distributed earpieces and explained the plan. Even though she was way too tired to understand it, she caught something about getting the rest of the crew together and giving them the extra earpieces. Nevertheless, it was a mission.

 

@@Gloomfury

 

"So... Where do you wanna start looking?" She asked, now calmed down.

[Gloomfury 243]

@,  Gloom shrugs while still staring where Gray ran off to." I don't know, the kitchen I guess. Can't really think of anywhere else the others will be. Plus it's the only place to get cold booze, so I'm pretty sure we'll at least find Crim there. Maybe Moo as well." He starts heading out the door.

 "leader? That's me! well... kinda. Anyway have you seen a suspicious pony around?"

 

 paying no attention to the fact he was armed or that he wasn't part of the crew.

 

Then taking note of the rumbling in the ponies stomach Gray Inquired "You feeling ok? you need me to find our Medic for you? You don't seem to be fairing well." 

 

Grays concern for this pony was serious. Then stupidity once again falls upon the Captain He grabbed the Pony and used a metal alloy rope to tie him oh his back and yelled out " Don't worry friend I'll help you!" 

 

Then Gray Shouted at the top of his lungs while running To find moonlight "MEDIC! WHERE THE HAY ARE YOU?!" 

Edited September 17, 2013 by Gray_Spectrum

[Moonlight Fire 20]

Moonlight heard somebody shout for a medic, perhaps the captain, and poked her head out of the kitchen door. She couldn't be more surprised to see Gray running up to her with a pony strapped onto his back. "Dear Celestia, now what's happened?" she muttered, walking towards the pair.
