And yes, I apologize for my spelling mistakes and for having neglected to orange-text the spoken bits. But seriously - and I'm taking a stance now - we are past the time to be adding to our facebook friends list. We are far PAST time to get a move on on the ABONINABLE THREAT - which yes, we can be said to be insulated by GM suggestion, nothing is blowing up at the moment - but we're SUPPOSED to be pretending to be characters who are pretending to have a sense of urgency/mortality.

Meaning, beyond personal plans, I wouldn't be bothered if Brie died.

BUT HE SURE AS FUCK WOULD BE
And that's how the characters should feel, just saying. This probably could have gone in OOC, but the OOC thread is just an excuse to disregard posts.

Yes, this is a sperging. And its out of character.

Kira, yoy're adorable, but stfu.
Garv, you havent said anything
Dusty hasn't said fucking ANYTHING, ostensibly cuz rhyming is a chore.
And then theres the 3 of us.
Silver doesnt want to get to the bottom of anything. One assumes this is delightful for Silver, but its not. For everyone. Get a fucking move on.
Rosey is actually in my 'exalted' list, in that he seems to want the game to proceed. Hopefully it will.
Thats all, for now

Kira nods along to Black Heel's explanation. She raises an eyebrow and looks back at her snake tail as he mentions how every creature has a 'reptilian, vestigial part'. She does the same again, this time looking down at her own pony half at his mention of 'better angels in their nature'.

Silver pipes in. "We can likely continue these conversations along our route. We really should get moving, however. No telling how long until Traveler decides to turn his attention towards you again, Black Heel."

Posey nods along, smiling and raising the occasional eyebrow; feigning interest in and receptiveness to Blackheel's moral and political philosophy. She does this deliberately, so as to make herself a more appealing as a potential comrade and to gain the Commissar's trust, not unlike a pretty white girl getting a commie to splurge incriminating secrets for Project Veritas.

"With respect, I disagree to the idea that we should split our forces. The only reason I entertained it to begin with is because I didn't realize that the lot of you would spend so much time in dialogue that the torpedo SIMPLY needs moved now. I thought that would take me some time, but it seems you all are FAR more lon-winded than I anticipated, so splitting the party is - IMO - OFF the table.

Cavaliere takes Brie aside momentarily. "It's a difficult decision for us to make. We were hired to make sure no foreign eyes would see the contents of that crash site and I intend on following that contract through. This includes keeping the griffons away, and especially the Commissar. They will be a risk if they don't leave with us, and if they do you can bet the fascists will not be fond of them being privy to their secrets. We can't leave them unescorted either, but I have faith in our team members to be able to protect them."

Brie adopts a more polite demeanor. "The explosives involved, while safe and stable in their deployment chassis, are soft and a bit volatile to impact when in their pure form, which it will be with just a few turns of a few bolts. However, it will need to go directly into the... hooves?... of whatever will be carrying it. This is not a load we can just pull out like it's an engine and put on blocks."

"That was my intent, yes. The powers of my master take time to culminate." She replies
"My ritual will certainly be helpful in the boarding of the Kostroma. You will thank me later."

Unless somebody wants to propose a reason for others to follow Posey to the skeleton, I would like Posey to depart and make her preparations.

Silver: "Hmm...well, pro of this plan is that we can complete all of our objectives all together, saving on time. Con is that we will not be able to help other groups if one of us gets attacked. If Traveler is smart, he would use opportunity to divide and conquer. We already almost lost you and Brie to creatures disguising themselves as terrain, when you chased after that one fleeing pony. I would say only go with this plan if everyone was completely confident with their ability to survive battle."

I had forgotten about Mala. Sorry.

Cavaliere looks troubled after Posey makes her announcement.
"Each group, roughly equally split in two, can defend against the threats we've seen if we're cautious. Being split into three makes things much more dangerous. The commissar is correct, the special forces are also looking for us and we have to avoid detection as well. I have faith in our veteran here," he says as he nods to Silver, "but having him safeguard the griffons, the prisoners and the escaped crew all on his own against these threats is a risky move. One of us, probably myself, would have to be split from the airship search party. Would three be enough to help, protect, and escort them?"

Brie REALLY wishes we weren't having this conversation in front of the commies.
"Well here is what ISN'T going to happen. Our one provided method of getting off this island is NOT going off on a solo mission," he's referring to the feather token, which he assumes to be in Rosey's posession since she's the one who keeps mentioning it.
"So whether one of us accompanies Captain Ring, or she hands off the expandable boat."

Okay, so who if any is actually following Posey to the leviathan skeleton? You don't need to come, but others expressed intent to come for reasons I am not quite sure of. Whatever the situation is, I would like to move the story forward now.
I am adamant about following through with this part of my plan; I compromised on other parts, but this is the thing I want to do: my contribution to the adventure as a necromancer.

It would take only a couple of sentences from the each of us to figure that part out. There is no need to be so reckless.

Since there is nopony chomping at the bit, Cavaliere would pinch his beak in frustration and then hurry to follow her. That might be something she decidedly does not want, depending on the magic she intends to use.

If you would like to tag along you could go ahead and roll Survival to help us get there more smoothly. You are a Ranger afterall. We've been there before, and you have a bird's eye view, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Posey takes a few rounds to get up to full speed. She eventually gets to full gallop, and maintains that speed with uncanny stamina...
Wow, that mare can run.

Posey notices Cavalier following her
"Oh, you are coming with me? While you are here be a dear and make yourself useful by making sure we head in the right direction." Posey says, looking back, still running

Cavaliere glares sternly at Posey, then at the rest of the party. "Captain, we almost mistook your eagerness for desertion. None of us leaves until we figure out how we handle this situation and when and where we will regroup. Running off not only risks your own life but that of every other creature here."

On top of all his other concerns, now he has to worry about loss of confidence on the part of the griffons and the Kostroma crew, who were already reluctant to tag along….

Starfire moves forward, tilts to the left towards Posey, and with a stamping motion, moves his two forelegs slightly apart and whips his tail

"You know Chernobog can summon monsters from the air? And the Spetsnaz, I have not met them, but I cannot imagine they will be so trusting of foreigners. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"
He tilts his head and moves his lips apart in an awkward smile that shows off mostly white teeth with one silver tooth. A closer look reveals he is shaking.
