| naruto [guest]: yaay, another saga in the forum! |
| Radek: Jessica. Do stick around though! I didn't and it made me miserable and decreased my maximum intellectual potential as well as depriving me of excellent conversation and apple tarts. Which are quite delicious.) |
| Radek: Why is he on fire? Gaaaah! *stomps the tiny mechanical thing into shards* ... well, that was less inspiring then expected. I'll leave the engineering and brainwork to you from now on, ehehehe! (Sorry you feel that way |
| Radek: That's true; anyone who can be so stubborn and yet still follow his dreams- in a way, it's rather beautiful. And I wouldn't have realized that without this rather tattered and poorly scribbled map; the universe is indeed amazing. And speaking of... |
| Jessica [guest]: boo it's been so long since I've logged in that I have forgotten my username and password :(. I wish there were new updates! |
| Alice belladora: In any case, do show me your latest gadget! Why, is it supposed to be beeping and flashing and giving off smoke in that extraordinary manner? |
| Alice belladora: Well, you certainly can't fail to admire his utter pigheadedness not to realise his utter lack of talent in that area... |
| Radek: *Looks thoughtful before recognition dawns on his face* Hildebrand- that scoundrel! Although there's something charming about his terrible logistics... Maybe it's this marking here, which claims to tell us 'where we are'. |
| Alice belladora: Er, what? sorry, i didn't notice you hadn't gone! ah ha. Well, i'd be delighted for you to show me your, er.. what is that ugly bit of paper? |
| Alice belladora: *Smiles ruefully* i got it for the world's worst cartographer, a certain Mr Albert hildebrand. Still, at least it was cheap! The prices for good maps these days, well, you wouldn't believe! |
| Radek: Also, it should help my at times crippling inability to solve basic math problems. Did I just say that out loud? Well, it's true. I'd like to say it's in the place we met last time, but not quite. |
| Radek: *stuffs the map graciously in his pocket, turns to wander off, then blinks* Ah, and before I go, let me show you what I've built so far; I can at least do the courtesy of giving you a proper seat while you're guarding the premises! |
| Radek: It would be my pleasure! *salutes haphazardly with a glint in his eye* Even in this barren wasteland, I betcha I can find what we're looking for before we even need it! Er, wait- well, with this map, I can certainly find things quickly. |
| Alice belladora: Hmm. Well, it shall certainly need reinforcing. I'll need at least 15 planks of wood, some corrugated iron and an old tire. Do you thing you could possibly manage that? I'll stay and guard the premises! *hands him a crudely drawn map of the area.* |
| Radek: I did manage to finish up our temporary base of operations, however! And now that you've got your best hat and goggles on, I'm quite sure you'll get everything sorted out in no time! Perhaps I'll even figure out a way to help! |
| Radek: *stops constructing what is obviously the worlds worst house to look properly mortified* A month! What sort of insensitive, useless, and otherwise ineffective lout would leave someone hanging like that- *pausing, he turns a bright crimson* N-nevermind. |
| Alice belladora: *She follows Radek across the curiously barren wasteland that seems to have appeared, rummaging around in her pocket for her extra-protective adventuring goggles.* |
| Alice belladora: Well, that's just about the most awfully good news I've had for almost a week. Did you know, i was left hanging upside down beneath a ruffian-infested airship for almost a month! *gets up swiftly, pockets her teacup, and puts on her serious top hat.* |
| Radek: I do believe I can construct us a rudimentary base of operations, for us to discuss the past, the present, the future... and this baron character. But enough of that here- *motions to follow* |
| Radek: *cheerfully downs several of the burnt biscuits, oblivious to their texture before assuming a serious expression* I do apologize for not mentioning the stout, and also for not realizing we might need some shelter. And although I'm not Letic |
| Radek: Ah, chocolate digestives! Alice, you are a true marvel in excellent haberdashery. Even if they're burnt, they'll still be full of vim and vigor, and that's what counts! Or was that vinegar? One or the other- |
| Radek: Ah, well- *scratches the back of his head embarresedly* I had just fortified it with a little stout that I had pickpocketed off a passing ruffian who - for some reason!- refused to to help me out of airship debris and rubble. Served him right! |
| Alice belladora: i keep forgetting that she's at least 300 miles away! my, my, what did you put in this strawberry tea? it looks very suspicious. *Puts on her monacle and peers short-sightedly into the badly cracked china teacup.* |
| Alice belladora: we shouldn't discuss such things in present company. Even the walls have ears! and the badly polished wooden floorboards, no doubt! Leticia, lock all the doors, smash all the windows, and hammer large bits of wood against them! Oh, but of course... |
