RE: The Mist of Wist

Mr. Mozart and Short Billy, who is singing a baritone, swashbuckling, rum-drinking pirate tune, are walking carefully, hopefully far away from any of the Rippov.

Short Billy: And as we wind on down the road/Our shadows taller than our soul/There walks a lady we all know/Who shines white light and wants to show/How everything still turns to gold...

He trails off as he notices something in the clouds overhead. It was moving quite swiftly and disappeared behind another cloud.

Short Billy: Did ye see that, Mr. Mozart?

Mr. Mozart makes a noise Billy understands as "yes".

Short Billy: Ye s'pose it was a ship?

They look up again and see it re-appear from behind the cloud. It is certainly a ship and it also certainly appears to be free-falling right over the field Billy didn't want to enter earlier.

A terrifying screech suddenly bounces off the ruined buildings, shaking the dust off the structures. Short Billy and Mr. Mozart look off in another direction and see a flock of pachees headed toward the falling ship.

Short Billy: I'll wager that they be done for.

RE: The Mist of Wist

   Truth is led dow nto the hangar and holds up a finger "be right back". He turns and walks over to his ship and retrieves the Wraith that he had hidden. He returns to the group "last one I swear". He boards the shuttle and awaits, then the crash happens.


    He grins slightly and coughs "At least some action!". Truth laughs "hold on I think gravity hates us!". Of course if he wasen't a bio-shell he would be scared out of his mind. Truth braces himself and prepares for crash landing.

RE: The Mist of Wist

Imelda starts checking under her seat for a parachute. There is none of course, because that wouldn't be as exciting to the story. Imelda looks at Spivey.

Spivey looks at Imelda.

Spivey: You can't be serious. I am a named character now. You can't kill me off that easily.
Imelda: I can try.

A screeching, like a cross between shredding metal and fingernails on a chalk board is heard over the roar of the engines. Everyone who has a heart, freezes. Kairne looks around, somewhat amused.

Something else slams into the side of the ship. Then another. They look out the window and see Pachees slam into the side. One flys into a window, and it shatters, sending glass flying everywhere.

Imelda: Belgium!

RE: The Mist of Wist

Szyren looks up from between her knees and sees something horrible flying into the window.

Szyren: What the frag is that?

Szyren attempts to consider the possibilities surrounding the avoidance of death.  Maybe if she jumps up just as the ship crashes, she won't die...

Does that even make any sense?  Her brain has kind of ceased to function with its usual potency.  She was never one to panic, but then again, she has never actually had to be afraid of dying.

But then again, what would be so bad about dying?  She doesn't know. She's never done it before.

RE: The Mist of Wist

Imelda chances another glance out the window and sees a couple Pachees fly over the ship. Once they fly over, they turn around and let out a screech, and two on the other side do as well.
Two slam into the front of the ship on one side, and two slam into the back of it on the other. This sends the ship into an uncontrolable spiral. It's course changes and it heads towards the brown river.

Imelda: Ugggh! Hold onto something!

Their ship now plummets to the ground and skids off the bank, and then into the river. Water pours into the broken window. Several of the pirates are unconcious. Imelda broke her arm when it crashed, and lets out a pained cry.

Imelda: Everyone alright *Cough.*

Water fills the ship up to their ankles fairly quickly.

RE: The Mist of Wist

The first thing Szyren notices is that she's not dead.  She takes a minute to be grateful for this before continuing on to other things.

The second thing she notices is that there is water up to her ankles.  Her feet are not wet, because she has on boots that go up to her knees, but still.  Water up to her ankles probably means that they landed in a body of water of some kind, and that water was coming into the ship.  Therefore, it would only be a matter of time before the ship sunk.  That's no good.

The third thing she notices is that there is a very sharp pain in her chest.  She shifts, the pain increases and then goes back to what it was.  She undoes her seatbelt and doesn't fall out of her seat.  She tries to sit up (because apparently she had gone rag-doll just before the ship crashed), and finds that it is possible, though uncomfortable.  Hmm...

Szyren: I'm okay... just a broken rib... or two.  No big.

She gets to her feet and wades through the water, biting her lip to try and supress her desire to scream with each step.

Szyren: We should probably go... before we drown.

RE: The Mist of Wist

  When they hit the ground he falls forwards shoulder first sustaining minor injuries. If he had been human his upper arm and shoulder would be broken but luckily, he was not.

  After a few seconds he stands and looks around. He listens to Szyren  while looking out the window then barks a command "alright people! I don't think anyone can breath underwater so those of you uninjured start carrying those injured and those unconscious... start with the least injured they will be the most help on the surface!"

He walks over to Szyren "are you ok? I know first aid so when we're out of here I can treat you and any others" He looks around making a mental note of any other visible injuries on people.

RE: The Mist of Wist

Imelda: Yes of course we need to get out of here, and obviously no one can breath underwater.

She was more harsh than she meant to be.

Imelda: Alright, what end is sitting in the water? We'll have to go out to opposite side. If we open the side in the water, we'll all be crushed.

The water is up to their knees. One of the pirates looks out the window.

Spivey: The back half is in the water. We can't open the door.

The ship groans with the extra weight of the water added. The water rises still some more.

Imelda: Alright, I think there is a release on the windsheild. We can get out there. Nicolas!

There is no answer.

Imelda wades through the water, up to the cabin. The pilot is dead. Figures.

She reaches behind his seat and pulls the eject lever. The windshield flys off and Nicolas is projected out and into the river.

Imelda: Hope everyone can swim.
Spivey: Uuuuhh...

Imelda takes off some of her armor, and then jumps into the water.

RE: The Mist of Wist

Szyren doesn't like the idea of water getting in her boots.  She also doesn't like Truth.  But maybe she'll get over the later.  The former, however, will never be acceptable.

She follows to the cabin and removes her coat.  She opens her pack and shoves it in.  It's waterproof, but it's still too nice to go for a swim.  She puts all her extra ingredients away.  She finds a plastic garbage bag and fits her bag nicely inside.  Her boots follow.  She ties the bag and inflates it the rest of the way with air.

This takes some patience.  Probably half the ship has gone for a dip while she's been making herself ready.  And trying to blow up a plastic bag with a chest full of broken ribs is no easy feat.  When she's done, she can barely breath.  But there is no way in the deuce that she's going to be able to swim.

She tosses the bag into the water and falls in after it.  It floats, she clings to it with her arms and tries to kick her feet to the shore.

She had considered just turning into a crane and flying out, but the broken ribs might transfer, and that would make it impossible for her to fly.  She's never changed with an injury.  Plus, no one knows she's a shapeshifter.  She doesn't mind waiting to spring that on them.

RE: The Mist of Wist

Having taken interest in the crashed ship, Short Billy and Mr. Mozart climbed a nearby building to get a view of the river. Billy, seeing someone climb out of the swamped ship, pulls out his pocket telescope and takes a gander in that direction.

His eyes go wide and his jaw almost drops.

Short Billy: Mr. Mozart, it be that cursed woman! IMELDA!

He begins to chuckle, which eventually turns into a full-on laugh.

Short Billy: Now she knows what it's like... to be me!

He laughs heartily. Mr. Mozart just sits there like a dog. Billy tries to get a hold of himself and looks back through the eye piece.

Short Billy: I say we sit here a might longer and take pleasure in the sight that lay before us.

Mr. Mozart, lying beside Short Billy, crosses his front legs in an amusing fashion.

Short Billy's enormous grin turns into a frown in an instant once he sees the squad of Rippov grunts headed toward the crash. He compresses the telescope and shoves it back into a pocket, standing back up from his cross-legged sitting position.

Short Billy: Those infernal beasts don't know when to leave well enough alone. Let's go, Mr. Mozart. If anyone's going to kill that woman, it's going to be me!

They climb back down the building and start off in a run toward the river.
