  1. “Excellent! Is the moose too big, or too heavy? If it’s the latter, I can definitely help. I’ll just have to rearrange my schedule and refuel these wings earlier.”
  2. Veer pauses his rifling through a random cabinet. “Who created the world, then? And where do scaled gifts come from?”
  3. He turns and goes into the butcher’s shop, smiling amenably. “Hello. Do you have any scraps that you can’t sell that you could give me? I don’t care if it’s edible or not.” If the butcher asks for payment, Nick says. “I don’t have any currency you’d take, but I’m willing to do a short but difficult task in return.”
  4. “Sounds good to me.” Nick walks in the general direction Kaleb is going because Kaleb is going in the general direction that Nick is going. He searches for a smith, a tanner, a butcher, or a weaver, hoping he can buy some supplies for the cheap price of a several century technology boost. @The Stormfather
  5. “O mighty dragon, forgive my errors. I was distracted by your … er … dragon-ness and state of injury. Bestow upon me a gift to help you recover from your current state.”
  6. “See if you can get some information about where we are. Or you could go with either me or Larry.”
  7. “Agreed. I’ll go by myself and see if I can trade future technology for raw materials. I’ll call you guys when the suits are ready.” Nick stays put, waiting to see if there are any objections.
  8. I’m thinking of dropping this RP in favor of the hunger games (school is busy). I might be back, but for now Dray and his backpack do not return from the bag.
  9. “The coins would probably work; gold is valuable pretty much everywhere. The credits almost certainly will not. I don’t really want to trade our things if we can trade something that doesn’t diminish us. Like knowledge or a job only we can do. We have access to tools and skills these people have never seen.” Nick glances around the market. “Honestly, we could probably get what we need for free; I could probably extract metal from slag and turn meat scraps to something edible. How about we split up - everyone but Sleeper has a way to call each other.”
  10. “I need a lot of water to fuel the wings. And any scraps they’ll give me would be helpful for making things. Do we actually have anything to barter with?”
  11. Nick opens his arms for the hug, smiling. “You’re welcome.”
  12. Veer, focusing on walking as it seems to prevent telekinesis, doesn’t notice. Veer walks in through the door, then stops in awe. “A dragon? How? That’s not spellsteel.” He tries to telekineticly put Mead Bush’s organs right side out, pulling bandages and such off the shelves. He has essentially no idea what he’s doing, though.
  13. Wait… is that Calum Lightarrow? The man who single-handedly cleared a massive chunk of the countryside of monsters? Alvar didn’t know how he’d done it - Calum had probably cheated somehow - but the resulting fallout had destroyed adventurers and towns both financially and physically, as jobs and cashflow plummeted, then new monsters filled the power vacuum and overwhelmed towns. The few adventurers still in business tried to combat the massive spike in monster numbers; Alvar’s parents, along with the rest of their adventuring party, were lost to the surge. Alvar considers attacking Calum, but sits down to start the auditions instead, knowing that a brawl of twenty of the best adventurers would be very deadly.
  14. Nick ceremoniously places them in his hand.
  15. “That’d be fine with me.” Veer walks towards the infirmary, looking straight ahead purposefully. He reaches it, and walks inside. @Just_a_Fan @InfiniteInsanity
  16. “Huh. I’d imagine you have lots of other interesting foods, too.” After finishing his meal, Veer hovers himself down to the floor, letting Gemini down as well. “I’m going to go to the med wing to find a magic councilor.”
  17. Dray tumbled from his backpack. “We’re past that, I suppose. What should we do now?”
  18. “There were pulleys. The bow was like this, and they were here and here.” Nick mimes out the structure of a compound bow. “Are those optional?” “He was saying that he’d wished he had his bow. The rest of you can attack at range; I don’t have enough hydrogen for it right now.” Nick goes back to walking down the hill. A minute or two later, he pulls two pairs of glasses from the wing struts and assembles them. “Alright, your assistants are done.” @J. Magi @Ancient Elantrian
  19. “Aki needs a ranged weapon. But with that homing dagger trick, I’m not sure you’d need one. We can try to get you one, though. Do you know what the pulleys are for?”
  20. Dray looks around. “Let’s see if we can pull one bag from another, so we only have to throw one across. Although I guess we could tie rope to the straps…” then he clambers into his own bag.
  21. "I'd been planning to use lashings. If you know how to make an actual bridge, rather than a bunch of sticks tied together, you should do it."
  22. “I do! It will take me a couple hours, though.” @Through The Living Glass, what happened to the grasshopper?
  23. Nick is slightly baffled by the magic, although nobody can tell because his hood is up. SIMON records the display, trying to come up with a scientific explanation. Once the fight is over, Nick says “there’s a village down there; they might have bows. Or you could explain how they work and then your new suit could make one. I’ve done archery before, but I could never figure out what all those pulleys were for; they didn’t let me examine one closely, and they I forgot to look it up. That was before I got SIMON activated during school.” “I wonder what the eagles actually wanted… I guess we keep walking now.” Nick doesn’t do his dramatic switchback jump again, instead walking with the others. “The glasses are in the assembly phase now. They’ll be ready in a minute or two.”
