Iron Clouds (Steampunk/Magic/War/Slave RP) (Open/Accepting)

A few moments later, Hector awoke from her slumber. 'I haven't dreamed about the past in a while... how nostalgic... Was someone here?' She thought. 'John better be doing what I asked.' She thought, feeling much better. She jumped up and got dressed. As soon as she was ready, she rushed out the door to inspect how preparations were going. 'Everything is going well...' She thought. 'Then it wasn't John... perhaps it was just because of the dream, but my intuition isn't often wrong...' She thought, but tried not to let it bother her. She found John and took over command. In no time at all, everything started moving as smooth as silk. "We pushed them back to the river. Defenses should be easier to make, but offence is something different. Hopefully the prince will finally send air ships. Land war is tedious." She told John.

"True, but air ships are also expensive and can malfunction easily. The king was worried about the whole fleet being taken out by fire magic. We'll have to wait until they make enough iron ships before we can do that." John replied.

"I know, but at that rate, we'll be stuck at the river side until then." Hector sighed. "I hate playing defensive at our window of opportunity. I don't want to give them the time they are stalling for."

Eviz was helping with the preparations, thankfully the re-supply came while he had been busy. He returned to his station with the other medics. They only had the simple necessities out incase they had to make a sudden departure. Eviz was having a bit of trouble concentrating, his thoughts wandered back to Hectors dreams, the information he gained from them would certainly be useful to him.

[~oh a heads up, I might not be able to post very much today or tomorrow]

((Ok. Fair enough. Thinking of skipping a few days. ))

After checking out how things were progressing, Hector made a visit to the prisoners ward. After nearly two hours of doing the same sort of interrogations, she grew tired of it, especially because she knew she was needed elsewhere. "Well, it was fruitful, but this is taking too much time." She sighed, tapping her crop against the tip of her finger.

"Well then, what do you suggest?" John asked.

Hector was silent for a moment, looking down at her hand. "I want you to send for someone." She muttered. "Remember that doctor who came by last night."

"Yeah?" John asked, recalling the man.

"Bring him here." She said, looking up at John and smiling sweetly with her big red eyes. John shivered for a moment, remembering the beatings of his past but taking a deep breath to calm himself. "Oh... Sorry. After doing this so long, I get carried away." She sighed. "Just bring him here."

"Yes ma-my lord." He stuttered before going to fetch him.

Hector looked away and said nothing, hearing the doors close behind him. "He wants me to call him brother, but so many years have passed and he's still afraid of me. And for that, I can not forgive myself..." She sighed.

"What? A name? I haven't really thought about that," Eureka murmured, tapping her lips with a full thought as she moved to cross her legs, dangling her foot as she thought. She grinned, giving the old man a narrow look of demure. It was faux, of course, but the man easily took it and leaned forward with certain intrigue. Eureka moved her fingers from her lips slowly, looking up at the man with a flirty look, as she moved her rook over his bishop, taking his white piece and moving it to her side.
"How about," she paused, alluring the man further with her enchantment, "If I win, you give me double what you bet and I walk away. If you win...I'll give you what you want tonight and you get to name my ship," she mused. He watched her, wide eyed, before nodding eagerly, digging in his pockets to replenish his promise.

Eureka smiled at the shiny coins before glancing back at the rich old man she was conning out of his money with her cunning and dashing looks. She uncrossed her legs slowly before recrossing them and leaned over the table slightly. "Your turn, my lord," she whispered. The man looked at her greedily before looking down. He was flabbergasted, surprised at how the board looked now. He was completely cornered! He shifted his gaze to Eureka, namely at her bosom, before looking back down at the board. He was desperate to win, desiring very much to have this fox of a woman. In that, he hesitated with his move, unsure of how to proceed.
Alas, he moved his king out of cowardice, and looked up at Eureka shakily. His mistake, mainly, was to assume she was not threatening as a woman. Her intellect was surely above his, but seeming innocent and alluring made this man a fool. She moved her knight, killing the queen that tried to protect his king. He had all but failed in this game of chess, and he could see it now, his next move would be meaningless after she said the words "Checkmate."

"W..w..Wait! I..I...I can-!"
However, Eureka was merciless, and stood tall, her chair scraping against the floor. She flashed the man a lovely smile before leaning over, taking the bag of coins and the rest of his money that he bet in this game of chess. Eureka gave a small laugh. "Perhaps, Lord Harkings, you should sharpen your chess skills before we meet again. You'll have plenty of time, since you won't be out gambling the money you don't have any time soon," she noted, picking up the check he had written in her name for his boon. She moved away from the table, despite Mr. Harkings pleas for a rematch and for her to come back. She simply waved him off, her dark black cape whipping behind her as she walked from his rich driveway to the gates that exited his manor.
"My Beloved~!" he yelled, watching her go without even a glance behind her.

Eureka smiled, pocketing the money as she walked down the cobblestone street. "Hmm...Beloved...A nice name. Perhaps I will let him name my ship that," she chimed to herself, her pale complexion and dark attire making her stand out in these streets of Norra.

❝ I think...

Therefore you are. ❞

Danny sat in a field overlooking the dessert leading to Hannon but it was quite far away. The grass was speckled with wild flowers. The pretty little things caught the fancy of the 6'3 foot man as he picked one from the ground and observed it casually with a slight giggle. That was when an airship passed and Danny had disappeared from the ground below. He looked timidly at the air pirates that took him, now trying to hold him down with ropes. He did not mind much as long as they put him in the shade. After all, the sun was burning fiercely today. Without uttering a word, he got his wish and the pirates began to move on with their tasks, leaving him be in a shaded corner of the air ship. Danny blinked a few times as a few ill-mannered and uneducated pirates began to step close to him, interrogating him about this or that, or asking him if he knew where he was sitting was dangerous or that their captain would skin him alive if he tried to escape. Danny did not reply to the pirates. He looked at them with a curious and rather childish expression and then closed his eyes. The others tried to move him but...

"Eh?! He fell asleep?" one pirate said.

"It looks like it" said another, trying to nudge him.

Danny began to snore evidently and smiled, evidencing he had entered dream mode so soon and was already dreaming about skies and oceans and beautiful designs made from them or how he imagined them to look like.

"What the--" said yet another, shaking his head. The man's behavior did not make him angry. It did not make any of the other pirates angry. Actually, they were baffled even and more than a little confused at what just happened.

((So my computer fan started making a ton of noise, so everyone keeps banging on my laptop much to my disapproval. Now my dad decided to dissect it (though he's never done it before) and is attempting to fix it. Now my computer is in many different parts on a table. crying So yeah... *is using parent's computer* ))

Eureka whistled, liking the heaviness of her pockets and the jingle they made when she walked. It was nice to have some money lying around. With all the commotion between Ander and Norra, and how feeble the rest of the countries were around these two goliaths, trade and the such was rather difficult. It made traveling permits and restrictions complicated to slither around too. But with money, well, money always buttered things up. She sighed, turning the corner. These Norra streets were rich, highly decorated for a country who invested all their money in banks.
As long as they had money, Eureka would continue to roam. It was a hard life, traveling around everywhere, but it was the only life that called out to her as of yet. She looked to the skies, missing the breeze. They'd have to lift their roots again, without any clear destination. Whatever place Eureka found interesting, she would choose to fly there. She lowered her head, back to the far off docks that her small ship waited at. The blue ocean smiled behind it, and Eureka responded with a grin.

"Oi! Just because this ship's bount is gone does not mean you could slack off!"

Eureka boarded her ship, kicking a crate with her boots in slight annoyance. Her crew, a bunch of burly looking men, scrambled away from their fearsome captain. "Come, set the sails!" She ordered, the men looking to please their ever demanding captain. She offered a smile before turning on her heel. She heard the water engine rumble deep below, her ship slowly inching from the wooden docks. The ropes were untied and the ship let loose, and the vessel began to sail around the coasts of Norra. Eureka held the wheel with one hand, her focus not on steering but the wind speed. The waters were a little slow, but the wind tended to be a bit quicker this fine day.
The breeze whipped her black hair around, which annoyingly got in her face. She tied it back and lurched the wheel to the side, preparing the runway for her little ship.
"Beloved. A fine name for this ship. Don't you think, Han?" She asked of her assistant, who stood close and surveyed the men below on deck. He looked to her with slight confusion. She aligned the ship with the wind current, the sails catching and pulling them in the direction of north. They sailed, gaining more speed. Eureka grinned widely, laughing a little before raising her hand. "Cut off the water! Release the steam!" She yelled, feeling a shake and rumbles from beneath. The majority of this ship was the two engines, and the majority of this ships crew was engineers and mechanics. She mused over the preparations, a little content in all this before the steam engine kicked in the air ship began to rise.

"Ah! Beloved, you really are something," she murmured. The wood creaked, water splashing and dripping from its helm as it entered the skies. She felt the rush of air around her and basked in it a little. Once engines were stable, and the ship glided through the air, she left the wheel up to Han while she went to her quarters.

❝ I think...

Therefore you are. ❞
