(1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>It leads to a hallway, with numbered doors. At the end of the hallway is a sign that says "Secondary Laboratory Access" (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>Check door one. (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>The door is rusted shut (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>You'll have to hulk it open (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>Physique, [4df+1] => [1,1,-1,0,1] = (2) (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>You manage to pop the old lock (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>Er, what's the inside like? (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Inside is a dusty box full of bones. (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>Bones... Unless one of the prisoners were carrying that around, this probably means they are storing prisoners here. Take the box, and move on, knocking on door number five, to check in anything is alive. (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>You open the door, inside is a stack of books, and a jewelry box. (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>Hmm, alright. Grab a book, and flip through one. (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>It appears to be a book of love poetry. (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>O-of... He pockets the book, grabs the jewelry box. It's probably useful for someone. He then goes to the highest number, pushing it open. (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Inside you find your items! (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>All of them? Good. He starts shoving in his inventory, stopping to give the small plant a glare, before taking care to put it away, and to give the Hotaru blossum a quick sniff. (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Balish. Someone has tampered with the flower. Roll physique. (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>[4df+1] => [1,-1,0,-1,1] = (0) (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Balish, you begin to hallucinate. (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>The walls around you start to melt. (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>Oh, that's abnormal. Stumble upwards, and backwards, doing his best to keep upright. (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Roll athletics (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>[4df+3] => [1,0,0,-1,3] = (3) (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>It's gonna take 5 athletics rolls to get back to the rest of the group (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>So, go ahead. (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>[4df+3] => [0,-1,1,1,3] = (4) (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>[4df+3] => [-1,1,1,-1,3] = (3) (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>[4df+3] => [-1,-1,1,-1,3] = (1) (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>:s cutting it close there (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>[4df+3] => [0,1,-1,1,3] = (4) (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>[4df+3] => [-1,-1,0,0,3] = (1) (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Ok Guys, Balish stumbles up to the deck, shaking his head, laden with ITEMS. (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>"D-don't EAT that!" He yells at the group, eyes abnormally wide and pupils over dialated. (18) Vejant: <font color='#a1a100'>Vejant looks at the pirate octopus, then back to Balish, confused. "I... WasN't. He doesN't look tasty at all." (19) Maenam: <font color='#ac1367'>Maenam looks over at her buddy as he arrives, blinking a bit at his odd stubling stance "Uhhhh... you okay Bally?" she asks, wrapping an arm around the purpleblood to steady him. (4) Rilset: <font color='#808080'>Rilset makes his way towards the troll, disturbed by his appeance and manner of walking. He slips himself under the highblood's arm. "Let me help you to the ship," he says quietly enough that only he can hear. "I don't want you dropping anything." (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>"N-n-no, WHEN did you get so TALL Nullar?" He pokes Maneam's face, leaning hard to the side. (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>The Seven Tentacled one looks nervously at Balish. "Is he all right?" (18) Vejant: <font color='#a1a100'>"Uuh... she's Not here, Bal. What the fuck dId you do doWN there?" (19) Maenam: <font color='#ac1367'>Maenam turns over to the octopus with a grin "oh uh... he's fine, probably just... tooooootes exhauseted from grabbin all our junk!" (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>Balish looks at the wounded octopi. "CALAMARI!" He exclaims, leaning forward. "YOU were ALWAYS my favorite legged guy thing." (18) Vejant: <font color='#a1a100'>Vejant's jaw drops. "But you just told us Not to eat that!" (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>The Seven-Tentacled Octopirate begins backing away slowly, then speeding up. "The ship is this way." (4) Rilset: <font color='#808080'>Rilset sighs, and debates the merit of knocking the highblood out. It would probably only cause more chaos. Intstead, he tries to help him limp after the pirate creature. (18) Vejant: <font color='#a1a100'>Vejant shrugs and follows along, sure that Balish isn't... totally crazy. Maybe a little, though. "ANd We're sure We WaNNa trust thIs thINg?" (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>He giggles. "It's okay Libby, I'm FINE." He leans over and gives Rilset a quick kiss on the cheek. (4) Rilset: <font color='#808080'>Rilset regards the intoxicated highblood with slight amusment. "I think I might prefer you this way highblood," he laughs as he drags him towards the ship. (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>"Libby you KNOW I should carry YOU..." Balish blinks hard, looking at the ship. "When did Erndad get this BIG?" (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Between the Three of you, you manage to drag Balish to the Pirate ship. "Calamari" blows a whistle, and the pirates begin to retreat to the ship. (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>As the last of the pirates convene on the ship, they pull back their gangplank and speed away from the Imperial Capital Ship. A group of octopirates immediately begin work on "Calamari" giving him a Peg Tentacle, and promoting him to CAPTAIN CALAMARI (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>He stands proud as the newest Captain in the Octopirate fleet. (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>The Octopirates swarm you, Vejant, asking if you are all right. (19) Maenam: <font color='#ac1367'>Maenam cheers despite having no clue what's going on (18) Vejant: <font color='#a1a100'>Vejant looks around at the swarming Octopirates, confused. "Uuh... yeah. I'M fINe. Why WouldN't I be?" (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>They murmur about the "Hero" and the "Pure Aether". (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Captain Calamari approaches you, Maenam. "We managed to save your sleeping companion. She's in the air section of the Hold. We're on our way to the Caldera now. Is there anything else we can get for you?" (3) Balish: <font color='#7105a0'>"Aether? Isn't THAT l-like a CARD GAME? Nullar, YOU should know, you LIKE those thingies!" He gives Maenam a big smile, which is actually pretty freaky considering how he looked below deck. (18) Vejant: <font color='#a1a100'>Vejant scratches idly at his head, giving a quick shrug. They obviously mean he's totally a big hero. "So, uuh... are you lIttle dudes, lIke, faNs or soMethIN?" (4) Rilset: <font color='#808080'>Rilset sighs a little. "Come dear," he says in a falsetto that sounds nothing like Libby. "Come over her with me at let them work." (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>They begin to thump all around you on the deck, talking at once. (19) Maenam: <font color='#ac1367'>Maenam grins a bit as she begins to distribute the hats she had stored in her inventory to the crew around them, including the cap'n. "Uuuuuuum, like allll the sewing materials and junk you guys have! Oh and uh... ummmm... some water and bedstuff for my buddy over there he's like... toootes out of it." (1) CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>NEXT TIME - On Team MasochisM! Arriving at the Caldera! WHAT THE FUCK IS AETHER? Will Balish ever be Sober Again! How many times can he kiss Rilset before it gets old!? Will Maenam design something Awesome for the Octopii. Just who is Vejant's denizen!? ALL THIS AND MORE, NEXT TIME, On TEAM MASOCHISM!!!
