Burt looks around, peering into the dark forest, then realises that he can't see much of anything. He checks his suit for anything that may illuminate his way, but alas, nothing is found. It is a simple environmental protection suit; it is sleek, thin, practical, and more closely resembles a onesie than one of those bulky spacesuits that come to mind.
He decides to just head to the fort thingie... forward? Back? Uhhh, North? Where even was North in this place? He walks around for a few moments, and realises how far that might just be. And since this place doesn't gets bright enough to make much stuff out, even at high noon.
Why did they even land here?
Velklin drops the spacesuit down from his hand. He then finds a cardboard box and rips a piece. Then, using
Geshemblos' tail, he carves a note: "For Su Lin". He gets sad some more, then gets up to the monitors.
He asks the ship where the others are. He is surprised to find that they are not that far at all. All of them are in a 200 meters distance from the ship. As for going to the fortress; if they all got back in the ship and simply took it to the fortress, it would be a much more practical option for them.
He decides to land anyways, to take a look around. He charges [Fullest Moon], it's strong light filling the ship. Then, in the blink of an eye, he was down to the ground. Sort of, he was on a shell of something. And there were pillars everywhere with dim lights on them. Oh, he was on a shell. It croaked!
Ornos screeches,
Geshemblos hisses.
Velklin scrambles to get down from the dome shaped thing, jumping into the sky and landing on another treetop. What he sees is a dark purple, blob-like creature with many short, cylindrical legs. It is looking at him with many eyestalks that encircles its bodies diameter. He panics for a moment, but then realises the creatures disinterest. The blobs many legs suddenly contract, and then release with force, to make it jump off to another tree some distance away. As he focuses and points his unused lunar spell around, he sees a whole lot of the same species of creature, peacefully passing through, from one tree to another without touching the ground below. They even seem to be avoiding him. Neat, he thinks.
He sees Lemmy get back up to the ship, without caring about the herd of treetop blobs passing on.
Lemmy wants to try something else. Can he make heat ray with the same energy he just used up? Maybe if he willed the mana in the right way, he could use the thin atmosphere to make one. One problem though. He needs a vessel. He saw on the ship that ambient gasses don't cut it. And that he can't cast a fireball or some other pure magic projectile. He needs an object to transfer the mana into. Which wouldn't make it a heat ray at all. It would be like a heat whip, at most. Still, using it to heat up an object, then pointing that object to something would accomplish what he was looking for. A spacesuit would do the trick. He logically detemines that using the one he was currently wearing was a horrible idea, so he instead decides to take one from the ship.
He rushes back to the ship. He thinks he saw something jump for split second, but he disregards it. There, he sees an empty spacesuit laying on the ground. Perfect vessel, he thinks. Though a second gander changes his mind. The suit had a note on it. So instead of that, he takes a spare suit from a suit locker he finds. He fills the suit up with the many random boxes he finds, until it is full.
He then checks the map again. Yep, the fortress was still at the north pole.
Isabam has an idea. A awful idea. Isabam had a wonderful, awful idea. She suddenly decided that she wanted to go sail in the hydrocarbon sea. She took the obvious path of kicking down a tree along the coastline and getting on top of it.
It didn't work. The tree didn't float. It was far too dense. And the ocean wasn't water.
