Dawnforge: Heroes of Legend (IC Thread)

[DarkMaster]

Karl looks with amazement at the star. He thinks to himself If this guy is not scared of it why should I . He sits and pet Othu both enjoying the view.

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

*Kyna looks on with interest at the "falling star". She is not too worried about it crashing into them, so she just smiles and enjoys the stars beauty.*

I do miss this sight. I have not see stars so clear or close since I left the mountains.

 

[Ashy]

In response to Yoseph's defense of Pheliben, Kieran smiles and nods. Later, when he gets a moment, he says to Sasskasa, "Hardly the convincing defense, but I suppose we all agreed to do this, and we only have ourselves to blame if we've misplaced our trust."

Sasskasa sneers, bearing many pointed, sharp teeth. "You might not be able to blame others, but I suffer from no such compunction!" Seeing the star falling towards them, the lizardman grows anxious. "I think that we should make ready to disembark, or find ourselves subject to a death filled with fire and water!" The lizardman grabs the few things he carries with them and watches the sky. It is apparent that he is ready to leap overboard in a moment's notice...

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Kieran grins, shrugging. "I hardly saw anyone twisting your arms and forcing you to come with us, Sasskasa."

 

[Sephiroth no Miko]

Sasskasa sneers, bearing many pointed, sharp teeth. "You might not be able to blame others, but I suffer from no such compunction!" Seeing the star falling towards them, the lizardman grows anxious. "I think that we should make ready to disembark, or find ourselves subject to a death filled with fire and water!" The lizardman grabs the few things he carries with them and watches the sky. It is apparent that he is ready to leap overboard in a moment's notice...

"Asss opposssed to a death sssimply filled with water," Sssakkariah murmurs, looking at the ocean and thinking about how well she would not float in it. She looks back up at the night sky with some wonder. "I have heard that falling ssstarsss are omensss, asss well, she says to Kieran, "though not necessssarily alwaysss good onesss. Sssome can portend a great disssassster or change to come." Despite herself, her forked tongue flicks out in a little gesture of anxiety. "Perhaps I'm being sssuperssstitiousss but I find the timing of thisss a little.... uncanny, don't you?"

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Kieran nods. "My ancestors were rather brutal folk, and, invariably, someone's bad luck meant someone else's good fortune. The loser wasn't usually around to bear witness to the shooting stars, so, invariably, the winner claimed it as an omen of his victory and the favor of the heavens." He pauses. "Superstition's healthy, I think, if it keeps you on your toes and your wits sharp. As for the uncanny, well, isn't it the uncanny that makes life worth living?"

 

[Sephiroth no Miko]

Sssakkariah smiles cynically at Keiran's account of his ancestors. "Typical," she comments. "Hissstory isss alwaysss written by the winnersss, never the losssersss. Their ssstoriesss fade into obssscurity, their namesss and deedsss forgotten or demonized." Her voice is slightly bitter.

She turns her attention back to the sky towards the approaching meteor, dark eyes bright with starlight. "Uncanny can make life interesssting," she says softly. "But it doesss not necessssarily make it worth living..."

 

[Ashy]

Kieran grins, shrugging. "I hardly saw anyone twisting your arms and forcing you to come with us, Sasskasa."

The lizardman merely sneers in reply to the bard, his eyes still watching the ever-growing ball of fire in the heavens...

 

[Guest 11456]

Yoseph doesn't even look up. "It will not hit us. It WILL hit our current destination. In fact it will point the way for us." As the star streaks ever closer you notice that it isn't actually head straight for you but rather for the vicinity. Just seconds later it strikes something in the general direction that you are now heading. You can't tell if it hits the water or an island.

Yoseph points. "That is our destination!" The falling stars continue for a few more minutes. But no more of them fall anywhere near you. Yoseph turns to you are the display ends. "You best get some sleep. I'll wake you once we are closer to our destination."

 

[Ashy]

Sasskasa begins to think that Yoesph is more crazy than Philben is and the look on his face shows it. He sits down near the railing, but does not sleep, for now, as he keeps his eyes on this strange captian as well as his new "companions". He trusts none of them farther than he can toss them and he keeps the hilts to Asp and Boa lose in their scabbards...
