... It's Nidhogg, glowing with draconic aether. He starts singing his song, the way the dragons record their history, how they rally their kin. Another roar: ]
[ The dragon's language is in their own, but their words reach Vin and Kashuu. They understand it. They can watch the dragon fly further into the Churning Mists.
The treasure chest is still here, tired after being hassled by bullies, and spits out a shield. ]
no subject
after a moment of shocked horror as she watches the dragon fly off, she starts kicking this chest even harder in the hopes that it will give them an actual weapon in addition to the shield.]
We have to hurry—!
[how does she plan on catching up to it even once they have a weapon?? good question don't worry about it
eli 🔪 vin Roll: [5] Result: 5]
no subject
Also who knows... I wonder how you guys got here. ]
no subject
and then they can head back to the manacutter which i definitely didn't forget about thanks hei]
no subject
Anyway with his perfect 20 roll he's also dragging Bernie's corpse along with them as they go time to nyoom after this dragon and find out where the fck it's going he GUESSES.]
no subject
Who is driving? Roll to see how smooth this ride is, now that they see a flurry of dragons take to the skies, singing a song of war. ]
no subject
im mobile but i rolled a 12]

It's getting the attention of Nidhogg's brood as they have their rocky ride. Uh-oh. Please control your dead Vax. ]
no subject
eli knife vin Roll: [1] Result: 1 (love that mobile doesn't let me copy the emoji itself)]
no subject
In like a stage whisper:]
You good—?!
no subject
As they're about three-fourths of the way to Nidhogg, they pass someone on dragonback flying the opposite way. Are the plans... The same? ]
no subject
[well. given how focused she is on trying to make sure vax doesn't fall out of the manacutter after that last horrible roll, she only glances up for a second. while she sees the figure covered in gore, she doesn't have time to look at them for long before she's back to business.
she's also summoning her double to land on the dragon that just clawed their getaway car. free them.
rolls a ten for jiuqing sighting and four for this dragon attack]
no subject
Ugh, shit--!! Hang on, lemme try to get us out!
[With his 14 roll he will try to maneuver their way away from this rude dragon... begone...]
no subject
It's Nidhogg, leading his brood to Ishgard with a rallying cry. ]
[ With a 19, he swats at the ship that is in his way, sending them flying down to one of the floating islands. Are they just a bug to him...? ]
no subject
as they start falling from the air, she's turning her attention from real vax's corpse to kashuu, moving so she can shield him in case the landing is violent somehow. she understands nothing about flying vehicles but falling out of the air seems bad?! if she's right about that, she doesn't want him to get hurt as they land. i hope he's perfectly capable of landing safely even after they're swatted and this is pointless
eli knife vin Roll: [18] Result: 18]
no subject
Though who knows how long that's going to last at this rate!! He rolled a 4 so as they crash down to one of the floating islands as he desperately tries and fails to regain control of their tiny ship, he's probably gonna get at least somewhat busted up regardless of Vin's high-rolling 18. God bless. Love that she somehow manages to protect both of them so well though that's hilarious.]
no subject
WHAT IS THE PLAN NOW... ]
no subject
fortunately they aren't too beat up, even if her prior injuries aren't feeling great... so she's going to look around the fallen manacutter to see if it seems like it's at all operational. though, before she does that, she's addressing kashuu!!]
Are you alright...?
[even though she shielded him with her 5'0" body.
eli 🔪 vin Roll: [3] Result: 3 for checking out the manacutter and trying to see where the heck real vax is now,]
no subject
[While she's busy dealing with scouting for Vax's body, he'll also take a look with his unfortunate 5 roll to see if this crashed thing still looks pilotable.
Barring that, he'll also glance over the sides of their floating island to see how far away any of the other ones are, and whether or not there's anything worthwhile on them. Imagine they're just stranded here.]
no subject
y'all... with a 6, the manacutter might be able to ferry a toddler? ]
no subject
[ow her leg, ow her arm, ow her everything. i'm also saying her roll means vax got yeeted out at some point as they crashed so she looks around but cannot find him at all. horrible. after a moment:]
But to where? I think it flew beyond these islands, so without the ship... [a beat.] I don't think we'll be able to find a passage back to the Prism without looking around, though.
no subject
...Yeah. Let's get looking, then.
[His 20 roll is for ease of maneuverability, and he will take advantage of that to help Vin as they begin TRAVERSING THESE CONNECTED ISLANDS, APPARENTLY.]
Maybe we can find another one of these things somewhere.
no subject
The Churning Mists are the land of the dragons and moogles, so there is little technology here. There are, however, signs of building like people once lived here, but the architecture is ancient in comparison to the style of the manacutter. As they walk these connected islands, they do see a moogle! This moogle. It steals Vax's (unworn) shoe, leaving the other behind, and flies off.
This moogle stops in front of a large aetheryte. ]
no subject
[NOT THE SHOE the shoe that belongs to very real vax......
she's running after it!! just kind of accepting that kashuu is going to follow behind her. i'm losing my mind. as they approach the crystal, at least, she slows.]
...We should be able to leave with this, though I don't know where exactly it leads.
