"This OFFERING will serve!" the flames reply, and with that answer the ritual powders crackle and spark before bursting into flames. Luckily, Akito drops the flaming substance in time before his hand and sleeves are offered up as well.
"I will answer YOUR QUESTIONS. Speak!"The blood in Lira's temples pound as the gravity swells, and a moment later Earth comes with its reply:
"Creatures made of flesh and bone inhabit those halls. Soft flesh. Hard bone...Within a coarse shell, to keep their rotting breath within. Metal halls hold what you seek. Shattered wood and metal hide noxious liquids and sharp corners. Beneath soft beds and blankets, there you must search as well."
"This one...requires no gift, but peace." And like that, the presence fades, and with it the oppression of earth's pull.
Meanwhile, the crew plans and molests one another. And waits.
While Joe considers whether or not it's worth the credits to build a communicator from scratch, Trevor and Erick purchase some supplies. They then both decide to question the shopkeeper about local jobs.
291324"Look somewhere else--" The shopkeeper begins to reply to Trevor, before Erick cuts him off. Sucking in a deep breath, he shakes his head before motioning towards the door. "You can always join up as miners. It's hard work, but they're always looking for new people. Hear the magistrate's looking for someone to deal with them pirates, too. You gotta speak with him if you're looking to mine, too. Can arrange an audience over at the big building in the center of...uh...Volk Central. This little shite hole you're in right now."
