Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
The Beach
Clara nods and dives in, swimming up to Omiko. She understands that she has to swim a little. If a boat appeared in shallow water it would just run aground!
"Okay, great. How's it work?" she asks.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Beach
Clara nods. "Uh, I think that makes sense. Here?" she says, treading water in the spot Omiko is indicating for her, riding over a passing wave.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Beach
The less that can be said for being turned into wood and stretched into such a shape, the better. The little red boat bobs in the water without any real issue.
How do you not know how your own magic work? And why are you fine? You had better do better than 'eventually.' The wood of the deck vibrates with her voice, and the cow figurehead moves ever so slightly to glare at Omiko with one eye.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Beach
There's a long pause.
Fine but you drive. I don't know anything about sailing and at this point I just want to nap
Can she even do that?
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Sailing
Well yeah but I couldn't repeat anything you're doing right now. I can't see it. I can sort of feel it but my eyes are stuck in this....whatever it is that I'm looking through right now. What is this exactly?
Omiko probably shouldn't tell her.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Sailing
Okay, I still can barely see what you're doing but I think I got some of that. Leave me some notes when we're done and you can show me for real when you get me back in working order and you can do that boat spell right so I can actually be on it. the deck hums. Of course it's also possible the spell worked exactly as intended and there wasn't an actual alternative. Might be hard to make a boat out of thin air. Who knows?
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Sailing
Clara is mostly quiet for this part. Speed, regardless of the circumstances, feels nice. And it does make her think that something's getting done.
Eventually, they should arrive at the island that might be the one they're looking for. Very sandy, though there might be some grassy areas on the horizon. It's hard to tell. Wooden boards litter the shore, as if a wreck happened nearby.
"Is that it? Please tell me that's it and you're ready to fix me." the figurehead begs.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Desert Island
Clara flails in the water as her brain remembers how limbs work, but should be able to reach the beach without too much trouble.
"We never speak of this again, and do me a favor and read the manual before you use any magic on me again. You owe me for that one." she says as she sprawls out on the sand.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Deserted Island
Clara glares at the cat.
"I didn't do anything and you know it. You'd do just as well if you did the spell right and we were outside the circle. Look, we're searching for your crew, right? I don't see a ship so maybe they're wrecked here, or maybe they got picked up."
Or perhaps they were turned into animals by a witch. Wait no, that's the Odyssey. Easy mistake to make.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Desert Island
"Well what do you want to do? We could summon a real boat and head out or we could look around for whoever left that note." says Clara, getting to her feet and looking out in the direction the roar came from.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Desert Island
"Okay. If you don't mind I'm gonna stay by you, though. I don't know if I'm strong enough to take out a big bear or something with a tiny sword like this. It's not built for that." she says, quickly speeding up to keep up with Omiko.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Desert Island
Clara jumps up with a yelp.
"I mean, that was the idea. Rapiers are for duels and such, from what I remember. I was never formally trained in doing one except for some stage fighting classes." she admits. "Sometime maybe you could give me a lesson, but that's what I meant when I said I wasn't that useful how I am." Clara is looking down for anything interesting and not watching the treeline.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Desert Island
Clara spins, managing to at least get her sword out of the sheathe before the creature pounces her. Its teeth cut into her arm as she pulls it away, bleeding but not caught in the beast's jaws. Clara swings at the creature's flank with the blade, but it might not do much damage the way as it's not meant for such close quarters combat.
"Omiko! Help!" she cries.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Desert Island
Clara manages to not have her arm chewed off again, but is still far too close to use her weapon effectively. Desperately, she transfers her sword to hold the blade and tries to stab it with the end.
Re: Silly Plots 2: Electric Boogaloo
Desert Island
Clara tries to stab it again, this time kicking it with her knee in an effort to knock it off of her so she can roll out from under it, yelling the whole time.
