[Nexus] Serious Plots 2 - SERIOUSNESS OVERWHELMING

[happyturtle]

[Artaris Wrath]

The airship takes off with the guests going to the wedding.

As the ship pass over from the nexus to Cessie's home-world Iferan Harnel will be able to hear a familiar voice inside his head. "Hiya! Your back! With a lot of things! All these people want to be converted into my world huh?" Libra asks curiously.

The rest of the passengers won't notice anything special when they pass the barrier but the crew seems even more skittish then usual with all the curtains going on. Dara doesn't seem happy at all and is currently talking to Cessie, managing to wave her over as she, Hope and Michicora was on their way down to Harnel's and hers room.

Hope stays near Michicora, knowing she's not comfortable around so many people, and lets Cessie discuss whatever she needs to with Dara. "I suppose we can bunk with the crew again," Hope comments to Michicora. "Airships are always so crowded." I'm not sure Hope has ever had a proper room when she's travelled by airship. Always either a hammock in the crews quarters or crowded in with the cargo.

Airship - Room 2

"Well, let's go get reprimanded then." Adir pulls on his shirt and leather 'jacket', smiling at Sakura gratefully. He looks at Ilpholin again. "You wanna come along? Unless you've got something better to do." Seducing people, I'd bet.

[Gullara]

[Artaris' Wrath - Room 2]

Sakura takes his hand in hers once he's dressed and ready to go. She isn't adverse to the idea of Ilpholin coming along, though she will still likely feel awkward around her for a little bit.

[Reinholdt]

[Artaris' Wrath - Room 2]

"Don't really feel interested in being in on that conversation, sorry. Besides, I want to go find Perus. Feel free to take your time returning to this room. If you know what I mean."

Deadtime for me.

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]

((Hopefully just a 180 degree angle.))

Boris isn't really paying attention to Kathrine as she sleeps. He lays in bed, and thinks about a few things.

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]
Kathrine's sleeping face went from peaceful to fearful. She began to toss and turn.

[Devixer]

[Artari's Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]

Boris does steal a glance at Kathrine now. A nightmare? He's all too familiar with those. He stands up, ready to wake her up if needed.

[Murkus]

Artaris' Wrath - Room 2 --> Somewhere?

"We'll... be a while, then." Adir reassures her amusedly, squeezing Sakura's hand before starting toward the door. Presumably, they wander around or bother the crew until they find Dara.

[Gullara]

[Artaris' Wrath]

"I hope they aren't going to give us too much of a hard time." Sakura says sheepishly. Everything she knows about Hestopia says they will regrettably. It's not fair, really. Not everyone can cast silence spells like some people.

Boris does steal a glance at Kathrine now. A nightmare? He's all too familiar with those. He stands up, ready to wake her up if needed.

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]
Kathrine keeps the fearful look on her face, but she stops tossing and turning. She speaks in her sleep.
"Mom! Dad! Get down to the cellar!"

[Devixer]

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]

Boris steps a little closer to Kathrine. He's still waiting, mostly to see if the nightmare will play itself out, like his tended to.

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]
Kathrine begans to sweat.
"The fire.....it's so very hot...."
She stops shaking and gets an even more fearful look on her face.
"They're-They're a gone....."
He looked like she might be sick.
"He..lp me....."

[Devixer]

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]

Okay, sweating's a bad sign. Apparent nausea is even worse. Boris tries to grab Kathrine's shoulder, and shake her a little. "Kathrine," he says, "wake up."

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]
Kathrine awoke with a start. She was panting and had a cold sweat. She looked wildly around and saw Boris' hand on her shoulder. She looked close to tears.

[Devixer]

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]

Boris looks very concerned for his friend. "Are you alright, Kathrine? You were having a nightmare. Nasty one, by the look of it."

Boris looks very concerned for his friend. "Are you alright, Kathrine? You were having a nightmare. Nasty one, by the look of it."

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]
"I dreamt about the attack on my villiage a year ago. I was the only survivor. I had to bury so many mangled and charred bodies. I don't know why I had that nightmare again. I haven't had it since it happened."
She looked at Boris.
"I'm still scared and my heart is beating faster than a rabbit running......hold me?"
She gave the puppy dog eyes. She was still very scares from the dream, it was evident on her face.

[Devixer]

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]

Boris tries to pull Kathrine closer to him, holding her as requested. He doesn't actually say anything, but he knew how it felt to bury friends.

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]
Kathrine is willingly pulled close to Boris and she wraps her arms around him and buries her face in his shoulder. The big bad dragonslayer is a child again. She squeezes tightly, not wanting to face the thought of her nightmare again.

[Devixer]

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room]

They probably stay like that for a bit, unless Kathrine pulls away. Boris is the type to know when words aren't really needed, so he still doesn't speak.

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Katherine's Room]
Kathrine finally calmed down. She held Boris for a while longer until she stopped. She laid back down.
"I'm really tired, Boris. Could you maybe stay next to me to help me fall asleep?"

[Devixer]

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Katherine's Room]

Boris does not want to do that, even if it doesn't show. Staying next to her would be very awkward for him. But, it would make Kathrine happy, and he had to consider everyone's happiness, not just his own.
"Alright, Kathrine."

"Alright, Kathrine."

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Kathrine's Room/Kathrine; Sweet Dreams]
She smiled and closed her eyes. She fell instantly into a peaceful, dreamless sleep. And her nightmares should be over.

[Devixer]

[Artaris' Wrath - Boris and Katherine's Room]

Once Kathrine falls asleep, Boris returns to his own bed, still reminiscing.

[Morty]

[Artaris Wrath]

Wherever KR is, Wenomir is either there as well or walks up to her. You know, I had an idea. Once we get to the Hestopian capital and have some free time, maybe we could go out together and explore the city a bit.

[Zefir]

[Artaris Wrath]

Mia keeps walking around since non of the crew member showed her anything and since she didn't know where the other rooms are she will continue to walk around. If she notes the main core room of the ship or another room with a whoe bunch of technoligie she will go inside.

[Shadowcaller]

[Artaris' Wrath - Harnel and Cessie's Room]

You'd be willing to give me another wish? Harnel thinks, That's quite generous of you. Yes, you can come down into the room if you like - I prefer having something to talk, rather than think at.

Hope stays near Michicora, knowing she's not comfortable around so many people, and lets Cessie discuss whatever she needs to with Dara. "I suppose we can bunk with the crew again," Hope comments to Michicora. "Airships are always so crowded." I'm not sure Hope has ever had a proper room when she's travelled by airship. Always either a hammock in the crews quarters or crowded in with the cargo.

[Artaris' Wrath - Harnel and Cessie's Room]

"Sure I'll be willing." Libra muses, "But only if you make a wish as interesting as last time. I like to see you argue." She giggles and suddenly she's sitting on the bed Cessie and Harnel used, looking exactly like he remembered her.

[Artaris' Wrath - Corridor]

"Better then a sea ship." Michicora adds. "Though we don't get to see her panic over it." She says, glancing at Cessie and smiles one of her rather rare smiles. The mage worked herself up quite a bit last time they were on a boat after all.

Cessie and Dara are using a silence spell to block out their conversation. But eventually Cessie seems to be done and turns back to Hope and Michicora. She looks slightly embarrassed but smiles at the two. "I guess you will be sleeping in the same room as me and Harnel, and before you say anything, there is a lot of space so I don't mind at all."

Micicora frowns slightly, "Double beds?"

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"No reason. I think I will sleep with the crew. I like to sleep alone."

"Oh... okay, if your sure Michicora. There was so long time since we meet after all."

"I'm sure."

Before they do anything however, Cessie sends a telepathic message to her husband-to-be. Are you decent? Hope, one of my oldest friends is going to be staying with us.

[Artari's Wrath - Storage]

Meanwhile the captain seems to notice the fact that Mia seems lost. "Can I help you with anything? You look a bit lost."

[Artaris Wrath - Deck]

Adir and Sakura will find Dara standing out on the deck, it's very cold outside with ice winds causing the flags decorating the ship to flutter violently.

The mage is dressed in quite heavy clothing showing them one of the reasons Hestopians don't wear as light clothes as in the nexus. They appear to be traveling over a wast snowbound forest, wilderness stretching endlessly in every direction. You can see the peaks of mountains somewhere in the distance.

"Greetings." Dara says neutrally as she spots them, "Let's get downstairs shall we? I'm sure you know what I like to talk to you about." She doesn't sound angry or upset, but there is a firmness in her voice.

[Halae]

[Artaris' Wrath - Room 1]

Harnel sends back his own thoughts, Yes, I got dressed. However... Libra's back, here to grant another wish, apparently

"So, you were enjoying us arguing?" Harnel asks the Oni, "That seems slightly sadistic, doesn't it?"

[Zefir]

[Artari's Wrath - Storage]

"Yes it seems like."

She never had a chance since so many curtains fall over all these rooms. She points at the main core room, which should be nerby I hope.

"Is this the ships engine?"

[happyturtle]

Artaris Wrath - Corridor

"I can stay with the crew as well, Cessie," Hope says, giving a smile that's meant to be reassuring. "Your style of bed is too soft for me anyway." No doubt to Cessie, the bedding found onboard the airship is far too thin and hard.

[Shadowcaller]

Artaris Wrath - Corridor

"But Hope, we haven't meet each other in years, I'm sure the crew can hang up a hammock for you in our room if you want." Cessie replies.

Michicora is looking around suspiciously as if she is feeling some type of presence.

Libra? Remember what happened last time Harnel? Is there something you really want this time? You don't know what could follow with her wishes.

[Artaris' Wrath - Room 1]

"It does? First of all, it totally isn't, second of all, what does 'sadistic' mean?" Libra asks, tilting her head with a confused expression.

[Artari's Wrath - Storage]

Actually, the ship have no engine magical or otherwise at all. There aren't even such things in this world.

"Engine? I'm not sure what that is ma'am." He asks her a bit confused.

[Zefir]

[Artari's Wrath - Storage]

"Really? He let me ask it the other way. How does your ship fly around?"

I hope I didn't missed the point where the ship is descriped.
