Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Outside the Repair hanger]

Daniel returned with a troupe of men dressed in suits and bowler hats. All but the chief wore a gas mask like device. They eerily reminded the captain of the elite forces aboard the Anachronism.

"here we are gentlemen," Daniel says leading the chief up the gangplank. "I don't want to cause the repair team any trouble. I am quite certain they were not to blame for any of this, they were with me the entire time. and most of my crew was not aware of here presence."

The chief grunted, a heavy set man with a mutton chop beard, and a brass nose and pipe. "I'll be the judge of that good sir, people go wrong quite easily these days."

Daniel did not like the lack of trust form the police chief, but this was his beat and he would keep his peace. Once down to the cabin level, the chief inspected the scene in detail. "Oi, If I am not mistaken sir, That woman there seems a mite familiar."

The chief calls one of his men, who removes his mask as he surveys the scene. "This lass seem familiar to you Jonathan?" the chief asks.
"Does indeed chief, this be the same one who up and dies on every ship what puts inta port. Shes a type of construct see? She looks really human, and is always trying for an escape offa the island."
The guard shakes his head "Every time she gets far enough from her maker, her heart stops. We drag her back she gets a zapped back, and wakes again not knowing what happened."

"Sorry for the shock Captain," The chief says as his men remove The body and her effects. "Tis' a right mean joke that old coot plays on the new comers. Good day" the chief tips his hat and he and his men vacate the ship and return to town.

Daniel stares as the men leave. A joke? what morbid humor. "I think I need a drink..." The captain staggers off into the galley to get himself something to steady his legs. "Hell of a Joke to pull." He knocks back a shot of something from behind the bar, a bottle marked with a picture of a engine on it. He also makes sure his boiler is fully topped off.

[galley]
"Apparently the one who owns that girl, construct what have you, Isnt really out to play jokes on us so much. its more of a device to keep her from leaving him. The investigators are paid to return her when this happens. They take it as a prank. Who ever is behind this creeps the hell out of me, and i was the one taking on a gang of pirates hand to hand a while back, just before we discovered your other half."

Feeling a bit more steady, Daniel streches. "I'd better tell those topside that it waas a false alarm, and that all is well, as well as it gets i suppose."

[lace shop]
Wuneye inched away from the shop door way and leaned against the wall at the opening of the alley, with one arm raised high over his head. with the penitence of a corpse, he waited for the man to peek back out of the alley. the general noise had hidden his footsteps, and he had been careful not to stomp.

When the stalker peered around the corner, wuneye's arm swooped like a falling tree and scooped up the man by his collar. "Now whats all this then? Whats it to ye where we go? Why so shy to spek?" Wuneye dangled he struggling man in front of him holding him roughly eye level, about four feet from the pavement. "start talking man-o or Wuneye will hafta take ye to the athorities."

[lace shop]

Alexandria waited for Penelope to choose and her own gloves to be wrapped. She wandered to the shop window and peeked out at the street, the display in the window hiding her from outsider's prying eyes.

She could still see the balding man's glasses, even from inside the shop. He must not have been stalking for very long...

(who did Wuneye grab, Green or the balding man?)

[alley]
Wuneye blinked, first this was not the one that had been following them, second he seemed to be holding the mans arm seperate from his body.

Looking down at the man, now armed and pointing a gun that would make a peashooter laugh at him. "I greatly beeg ya Pardon there Sir!" Wuneye booms, I din' mean to grab ya there," He hands the arm back to its rightful owner, glad he had taken care not to damage it with his grabbing. "And put that spit launcher away, you aint scaring me with that toy."

Looking around Wuneye spots the one that had originally been following them hightailing it as fast as his legs could go.

"If Wuneye can make it up ta ya's I can take you to Capn' Fly-man, He owns a ship, and a few small ones too."


(the spare ship is the one with three props near the tug, the other is the vanship. your plane can be made from the parts of the original plane and any of the junk laying about the hold. mad scientists make quite a mess ^_^ also wuneye is a giant, a peper box gun would be like a fly bite)

[Lace Shop]

Penelope made herself take her time looking at the gloves, just as Miss Alexandria had instructed. A pair of dark green ones caught her eye, but so did a pair of pale yellow ones. She looked at the others while she pondered the two.

Finally, after much mental debate, Penelope choose the dark green gloves. They were simple with no adornment, but she liked them. "These ones, sir." she pointed them out to the man for him to wrap them as well.

((I'm loving the character Wuneye more and more!))

[Nishi's Cabin]

After over hearing the investigater he stands there stuned behind the cabin door. A prank? what a morbid warped sense of humor. He shutters and prays that he never meets that clingy mad boy. He sighs and looks about the room, There was a single size bed, a desk and a beat up trunk at the foot of the bed, but most of all a small wooden tub/shower. Estaticly going over to the tub he finds the stopper and puts it and draws water.

He glances over as he sees his refection in a mirror that hanged over a wash basion. His mirrored image cheekly smiles with his bruised-up, soot and greased covered face , with a sigh he removes his articails of clothing and carefully removes the bandage on his side. With a happy sigh he sinks into the warm water.

"Finally~"

[Outside the Lace Shop]

Penelope was taken aback at Miss Alexandria's having bought their gloves. ((She did, didn't she? I kinda thought she did.)) "Thank you." she said as they walked from the shop.

The appearance of the strange man caught Penelope off guard, too. She paused outside the shop to look for Mr Wuneye, then heard Miss Alexandria address someone behind them and turned. She jumped back a step in surprise. "Oh, hello!" Her quick greeting and grin put her in more contrast with her friend.

"It's nice to meet you, Mister Green." She offered a hand to shake, caught herself, and bowed instead. Everyone else was acting more formal than she was used to, and a curtsy is difficult to manage in pants instead of a skirt.
