Event Description

5 May (Monday) Scene 5:  In NeoLondon [NeoVictoria SIM] & Asperatus.  The rift-ship of Admiral Rowena Desade takes the NeoVictorians to Asperatus.  They settle in at Mrs. Chickenstalker’s Apothecary and Dry Goods Emporium, then head out into the town, in pairs, to spread the word about the robot, the professor and the reward.

We pick up the roleplay in Asperatus at 6 PM on Tuesday.  All welcome.  Visit Mrs. Chickenstalkers (or the NeoVictoria shop off the main rezz point) to pick up information about the roleplay and some fun props).

Packing
Lucinda Jane Strathmore rifles through chests, hurriedly looking for things to take on the journey. Not time to grab all the trunks, they’d be traveling light. She slips several tools into her clothes. Grappling hook and launcher? Check. Inflatable pillow? Check. Stealth camera? Check. If she hadn’t sewn in holsters and pockets for all the things she was taking, she’d be jingling like a wind chime shop in a storm!
Are you coming to Asperatus
“Are you coming to Asperatus?” Kit stares up at the ship, eyes widening a little before she heard Asil. “Y-yeah. I mean yes I plan to assist” She added in a more sure tone.
Hmmmph
Hmmmph looks up at the Airship, gives a shudder…remembering the last time she was on an airship….lost her stupid sword…makes a resigned sound
Why We Fight
Myomy nods emphatically to Lucinda. “If our very lives and the fate of the empire wasn’t at stake, I would be a very happy editor at the moment!” She smiled and then tried to curb her enthusiasm.
Adventure
Asil Karu walks into the hull of the ship with the rest of the crew, excited to be going. She hasn’t met the woman at the helm, but a ship like this … they must be extraordinary. She would catch Kit’s gaze and smile; an adventure!
Leaving NeoLondon
Dame Rowena Desade finishes inputting the coordinates, and nods as the jump is plotted. She puts her hands on the controls and reaches for the controls. “Everyone brace yourself. I have faith in my ship but the ride might be a little bumpy.”
The Voyage
Asil Karu feels the great engine begin to surge and her third-eye knows the sudden terrible otherness that is the rift when the void opens to swallow them up. NeoLondon disappears like a dark twinkly sense of home and there is only the cold and the darkness.
Landing in Asperatus
Dame Rowena Desade set the airship down on the landing pad on top of the Asperatus. The trip had been rough, the ship being buffeted by the massive air currents common in jump travel. “Well that was not quite as bad as I thought it would be.” She looks down and examines the control console. “It looks like the ship came through intact as well.”
Jumping Down
The small wings flapped slightly as she lowered herself to the ground and let the wings vanish once more. “So what now?” She asked, a little scattered after the flight.
We're Expected
Hello sir, I am Asil, the manager of Mrs. Chickenstalker’s in NeoLondon. I had a dispatch from Mrs. C herself assuming me that your staff was expecting us?”
Portal Imp
Rondolfo del Stiletto XV responds to the questions in a similarly jaded fashion. “Crazy ranting guy and a robot? The one with the navy coat or the one with the cyan one? Either way they both just bought some salmon ravioli and left.”
Val Opines
Valentine ‘Val’ Adler looks around to the group, who seem to have varying levels of attention at this juncture. “I say we start the search immediately. Mayhaps we should break off into pairs or small groups?”

At the NeoLondon Times Office:

Myomy sets the candle lantern down beside her press, and attaches the portable power rigging to the intake coils. She crosses her fingers and throws the tiny switch. A spark. A chittering sound. Then the chase bed starts to move. Slowly it swivels forward, then more quickly moves back into place. Myomy inks the platen, sighing with relief.

 In front of Lord Coat’s Castle:ffrp4_003

Valentine ‘Val’ Adler seemed pretty perturbed with the start of the new day, having been wearing the same suit he had before – a feat uncommon of the particularly well cleaned and put-together man. He slept in the castle that night, to attend to his bleeding prisoner, and to be certain he could not escape.

Lucinda Jane Strathmore  grabs the documents she’d gathered as well as the computational device from the desk, heading down to show them to the Auditor before reporting back to Myomy at the Times. “Here’s what I’ve gathered so far. From the looks of the maps stored on this thing, it looks like he had multiple escape routes planned. He certainly was prepared.”

Valentine ‘Val’ Adler strolls right up to Myomy, “Madame.. listen very carefully. A man by the name of Professor Timmons has created a bot, with the aid of Lord Coat – the castle occupant – that is capable of doing an endless amount of damage to not just NeoLondon, .. We must get the word out to the people of this town, as quickly as possible! ”

Rowena Desade: Nods her head in greeting to the well-armed man before taking his hand in a firm grip. “I am pleased to meet you Mr. Hellwalker. I am Dame Rowena Desade, Knight of the Realm and Admiral of the Fleet. I just recently arrived at this backwater and could not help but notice the commotion.” ffrp4_009

Rowena Desade: watches him go before turning and approaching the tall and slender man. “I do have a ship. It is my personal yacht, though armed it is certainly not very big. Do you think we will have need of it Sir?”

Valentine ‘Val’ Adler tucks the business card in his pocket and looks to the pilot. “Oh yes, we’ll need that vessel.” He pulls a notebook from his coat and jots down something on a piece of paper, tearing it out quickly and folding it. He holds it out to the side away from himself, and a small glowing porthole opens just enough for the note to disappear into. “I’m calling in a personal favor, if we need it.” He noted. “Yes, Myomy, certainly. We need all we can gather. We’re going to…” He checks the maps. “Asperatus … of the Faire lands.”
