Unless there's any objection, the name of the ship will officially be The Borealis next turn.

You're about to set out on your high-seas adventure! Keep in mind that this ship will work similar to an actual ship: you need to split up navigation, sailing, and bilge duties to travel effectively over water. You may be occasionally interrupted by events while on the ocean. The real adventure is starting in both worlds in the next few turns.

META TURN:

Medi-bot is here to help! MEDI-BOT

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
Dynamo Core

Actions

Meta: investigate the teleporters

(...) You closely examine the ring of multi-colored teleporters situated around the room. Each one seems to correspond to an access level, indicated by its color. With a sudden rush of inexplicable fury, you stomp your foot on the nearest one. A bolt of bright blue energy shoots from the pad and sends you flying through a gap between dimensions! When you finally come to rest, you stand up and find yourself in an unfamiliar room.

RW: Ride mecha spider to medical bay. Attempt to get someone to heal this Heavy bleeding I have. If nobody is around, heal it myself.

(...) The mecha-spider extends a long metal appendage and breaks down the door before galloping in. This medical bay is much bigger than the other one; there are two medi-bots like the one you saw before sitting in the corner. You ride over to one and activate it.
"DO YOU REQUIRE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE?"
You point to your bleeding leg. The medi-bot nods (?) at you and fetches some gauze from a locker. It then proceeds to spread some sort of ointment on your wound and wrap the gauze around your leg.
"TREATMENT COMPLETE."

Meta: Explore in the sector 1 direction

(...) You peek down the hall, but can't see much further than the "Sector 1" sign.

Meta: Find/activate medbot, get healing.

(...) Paulie carries you into the medical bay and activates the medi-bot.
"DO YOU REQUIRE HEALING?"
"Yes!!!"
The medi-bot looks at your legs and produces a syringe.
"THIS SERUM WILL HELP TO QUICKLY MEND YOUR BROKEN APPENDAGES." it says as it injects the liquid into your calf. It then proceeds to spray some sort of white foam onto both legs and your finger, which quickly hardens into some tough-looking casts.
"TREATMENT COMPLETE."

NPC'd

(...) You carry Monk into the med bay for treatment.

Threshold of a Dream

Actions

Fantasy: Try to heal my ankle.

(...) You karate chop your ankle in an attempt to heal it. You have no idea why you did that, but it hurts even more now!

FW: TO THE SHIP!

(...) Motioning for the warrior to follow you, you make a break for the ship! You both run up the gangplank along with Frelock and prepare to shove off! The wind is blowing to the north and the tide is quite conveniently in perfect condition for sailing.

Fantasy:Get back to the ship, carrying those that can't seem to make it on their own.

(...) You consider helping HighEndNoob to the boat, but decide against it and board the boat yourself.

Fantasy: Make ready to sail!

(...) "Full speed ahead! Anchor aweigh! Batten the gunwale!" you yell as you pull a rope hanging by the mast. The sail swings around and catches wind. No one else seems to want to do much.

NPC'd

(...) Running up the stairs and out of the bilge, you haul the anchor from the water, sending it flying across the deck! (...) Edgar jumps out of the way as the flying anchor lands with a crash on top of the boat! The boat starts to slowly glide through the water and the gangplank scrapes along the dock. Wait, aren't we forgetting something? OH CRAP, HIGHENDNOOB!

[RedWarrior0]

Hah. Dermonster, I got there first!

[Dermonster]

I was actually reading this for about 3 minuites before you posted.

Just because I can doesn't mean I will XD

[Dermonster]

RW: Ask the GM what level clearence we currently have. Examine Metal Bars viability as a weapon.

FW: Start using my elemental water abilities to completely empty the bilge.

[monk12]

Hooray for medicine!

Meta: Examine the MYSTERY DOOR

Fantasy: Shoot harpoon gun at HighEndNoob to provide him a safe, secure way onto the ship.

There is no way this plan can go wrong.

[Frelock]

1-You point your harpoon gun at yourself and make a monk-kabab.  Remember, pointy side out next time!
6-You successfully send a harpoon to High-end-noob.  He receives it in the face.  More accurately, in the eyeball.  The barbs catch on his eye socket, and his head is ripped from his body as the boat pulls away.  The body collapses as a strangely grinning, one-eyed head follows the boat...for all eternity.

Meta: Walk down towards sector 1

Fantasy:Go down to the brig and keep a watch on the mayor.

[Gatleos]

Spoiler: Quite Flashy, just a warning. (click to show/hide)

SUUKOU MONOGATARI NO FUNE ADOBENCHA!!!

...yeah. So the boat is named now and I've finished several other ASCII-based things like maps. We're ready to go! Well, as soon as all actions are posted.

[HighEndNoob]

Oh Carp, I though I was already on the boat.
Meta: Look around the room, which I will name Vera.

Fantasy: Get on the boat somehow.



Also,What ever happened to:

If a player is NPC'd twice in a row, their explosive collar goes off.

Bowdown has been NPC'd more than twice in a row.

[Gatleos]

If a player is NPC'd twice in a row, their explosive collar goes off.

Bowdown has been NPC'd more than twice in a row.

That's to prevent people from holding up the game too long. Bowdown told us he would be gone for a few days in advance, so we don't have to wait for him.

EDIT: Still, I suppose it's been a while. I'll give him three turns to return (including the next one), and then detonate. So, Monk might want to consider that.

[Gatleos]

Bowdown will be 'sploded after this turn and two more. Until then or when he returns, he's a kamikaze NPC. All players in favor of an open player slot post actions quickly! Or, y'know, kill him. Jerks.

Actions

RW: Ask the GM what level clearence we currently have. Examine Metal Bars viability as a weapon.

(...) "CURRENT SECURITY CLEARANCE LEVEL FOR PARTY 364 IS LEVEL 0: WHITE."
You look at the metal bar in your hand. It's got a barb on the end! Still not an ideal weapon for fighting robots armed with long-range laser weaponry, but it'll do for now.

Meta: Examine the MYSTERY DOOR

(...) You examine the side corridor at the back of the room. There's a door back here, covered with blue circuitry. Above it is a sign: "Ship Records".

Meta: Walk down towards sector 1

(...) You head down the hall past the sector 1 sign and around a corner. Before you is a hallway whose walls glow dimly as streaks of light move in seemingly random patterns on its surface. You can see a junction at the end of the hallway and two signs: "Command Center (Sector 1)", and "Main Deck Mech Storage (Sector 2)".

Meta: Look around the room, which I will name Vera.

(...) Looking around, you notice that you seem to be in some sort of large circular room. You are surrounded on every side with large shimmering windows. Hmm... must be some kind of observation deck.

NPC'd (KAMIKAZE)

(...) You give Monk a noogie! That'll teach him.

Departure

Actions

FW: Start using my elemental water abilities to completely empty the bilge.

(...) Concentrating your mind on the water below you in the bilge, you attempt to flush it out through the pumps. No such luck. The water stays still.

Fantasy: Shoot harpoon gun at HighEndNoob to provide him a safe, secure way onto the ship.

(...) Lugging the harpoon gun over your shoulder, you fire it toward HighEndNoob! It doesn't hit its mark, instead sticking in the wooden dock.

Fantasy:Go down to the brig and keep a watch on the mayor.

(...) As you begin to descend the stairs at the rear of the ship, you trip and tumble down to the bilge! Your map falls out of your pocket. Picking it up, you notice another fold you hadn't before. Unfolding it, you discover another map!

Fantasy: Get on the boat somehow.

(...) You can hear noises coming from behind. Spinning around, you see most of the town running toward the docks! It's an angry mob! You quickly leap to your feet, but the boat is already too far out to board from the gangplank. The harpoon gets pulled from the dock and begins trailing over the water. Now's your chance! You make a mad dash for the end of the dock, jump off the end and grab the harpoon! You're being dragged through the water. Looking back, you see that the angry mob has reached the docks.

NPC'd (KAMIKAZE)

(...) You make all the rude hand gestures you can remember at the angry mob as The Borealis sails into the rising sun!

RW: Me and mecha spider investigate sector 6 hallway and beyond.

FW: Go down and pump the pilge. Try to use my magic to at least make the water less viscous, so as to make it flush out easier. (I assume bilges have pumps to drain water outside the ship?)

[HighEndNoob]

Meta: Look out all the windows of the Vera Observation Center

Fantasy: Climb the Harpoon cord onto the boat.

[monk12]

Wow, this is odd- a plan went about as I expected it to. Truly this is an ill omen.

Meta: Take Paulie with me to the Blue Teleporter, and go through it. Him first.

Fantasy: Help HighEndNoob aboard the Borealis, then take over Sailing duties. Ponder what adventures await.

Hopefully the ships records will warn us about the Deadly Neurotoxin Emitters hidden around the ship.

[Gatleos]

(I assume bilges have pumps to drain water outside the ship?)

Yup. That's what those... erm, candy cane-shaped things are.

Meta: Take Paulie with me to the Blue Teleporter, and go through it. Him first.

The only reason HighEndNoob was able to use those was because he kicked it and it malfunctioned. You've got to find the other one first.

[Frelock]

Hopefully the ships records will warn us about the Deadly Neurotoxin Emitters hidden around the ship.

When I said "deadly neurotoxin," the "deadly" was in massive sarcasm quotes. I could take a bath in this stuff. Put in on cereal, rub it right into my eyes. Honestly, it's not deadly at all... to me.

Meta:Continue towards sector 1

Fantasy:See if there's any manuals on sailing around here.
