"What?" He raises an eyebrow for he has no idea what the other man said as they continue to push the plane back to where it was. "Could you say that...a tad bit slower please?"

Penelope finished washing the dishes about the same time she heard the crash. She looked around, thinking it was one of the stacks, but found that it was not of a local source. Assured that her kitchen was undamaged still, she set about putting things in order.

yousha looked at him raising one eyebrow..
"wit d'ye mean?"
"its nae good for ye mate" he nodded in a gesture at the cigarette "ye ken?"
as they both pushed the plane back one of the propellers dislodged and tumbled off of the wing, it made a loud clunk as it hit the ground and bent further out of shape..
"aaahh dear..." he sighed as he helped keep pushing..

He humphs at the cigarette comment and continues to push. "So what..exactly...was your name?" He gives one last heave as the plane goes back into place. Stepping back, He rubs his wrists and sighs, he needed a match and a bath badly. He looks back the dislocated propeller and runs his fingers though his hair. "Bugger me, that's gonna be a wretch to put back on."

"It's simple, really. The curse's single great disaster in your case was that you were saddled with chronic bad luck. I'd bet if we checked the ship's records we'd find that it was in port in the same town you were when your bad luck first began. And then, who knows, maybe you walked through the port, and looked at this ship for just a moment, just an instant considered a wild possibility. And then later that day ran afoul of something that changed your luck for life. But that's all speculation, really. All I know is what I've just been told. What the curse does, and that this crash is connected to it. Which would actually mean that, if it's also connected to your bad luck, that it isn't your one great misfortune. It's someone else's. Most likely the pilot or builder of this plane. You were simply the most convenient mechanism for the curse to use, if you hadn't been around something else would have happened to it.
On the other hand, this means that if your bad luck is not the curse's fault, then you're probably still due for a misfortune."

"Well, we could use a few pilots, we have some running around but our ships in the hanger are free unless anyone wants to fly them for me."
Upon hearing the crash from the hanger, Daniel shakes his head, "that is if the ships are still there by the time you get to em."
Bidding the elfin man good day, he hurries out of the gally, thanking Penelope for the food. Dan drops the paperwork off at his cabin and hurries to the hanger.
[hanger]
Upon stepping foot in the hanger, he shakes his head. Khaos indeed was by far the most fitting mname for his vessel.
"Alright lets get this mess cleared up and stowed. we cant have her rolling around when we fly again tonight. Oh, Welcome back master Eli." He waves at the older man.
walking up top the smushed plane, he scoops up the prop from the floor. Taking off his gloves(revealing metal hands) Daniel proceeds to unbend the propellers.
Seeing the obvious trouble with the men pushing the heavy craft back into its stall, Daniel lends a hand and lifts the front of the pusherplane up.

Myles sees the captain enter and help. he turns to Triskadeca. "Will you fit me?"
"Yes."
"Then I activate whatever protocol will allow you to function as a suit of armor. I'm going to lend a hand."
Without a word, the clank steps behind Myles, unfolds, and wraps around him, conforming to his body and losing its feminine contours in the process.
Myles steps in on the other side of the pusher plane to assist Daniel.
"I say, Daniel, next time you're looking at the ship's old logs could you indulge a bit of a curiosity I have?"

"Hm." Lenore grinned as the three men and clank went rushing out to investigate the crash. "Quite interesting, indeed."
Sitting down, she studies the teapot, half-wondering what made it work. "Do you really make a 'cecil' sound, little one?" Spark-made, I suppose, it's too well designed to be otherwise... "So, Mr. Eldon Thur'Odith, what do you think? Will you be staying around?" She smiled at him. "And you never did get a chance to answer my question from earlier."

after they'd finally pushed the plane yousha let out a sigh of relief, he cracked his knuckles and stretched out, he then relaxed(or at least as much as he could) and extended his hand for a hand shake "me name's yousha, what about you?" he spoke with a childish grin on his face, his fingers twitching slightly as he held his hand out..

He shakes the the young man's hand. "Finagle. Call me Finagle...Nice to meet you Yousha." He turns towards Myles and the clank to ask for a slightly more simple explanation about all of this cursed business. He just had really bad luck, always had, even as a babe. His head turns quickly when he hears metal on metal as the captain bends the propeller back into shape with his bare hands, he did show them that he was all metal from the neck down, he himself didn't quite believe it until now. Then when the captain pushed the plane back with ease. He was flabbergasted.
"Well hello Capt'-" He felt the trickle of blood going down his side again as the cut on his side reopened from all of the extreme effort of pushing the plane back and the crash it's self catching up to him. "Uggh, Capt' now that you're here...you gotta place to bunk me? And where can I find a bathroom to get cleaned up?" He looks at at the combination of blood, grease, and grunge all over him, quite the pretty picture he made of himself.

yousha just grinned and released his grip as finagle turned away.. he was more interested in the ship
yousha then witnessed something fascinating. he didnt bother introducing himself.. he crouched down and leaped across the floor in a monkey like fashion to squat at the side of Daniel.. instantly looking him up and down, he pulled out a magnifying glass from his bag and started looking into Daniel's elbow joint.. or what it should be, giving a frequent twitch of his head as he hmm'd and ah'd to himself..

Myles, now wearing the clank, gives a bit of a shrug and the panels of the head unfold outward and lay over his shoulders. He holds up a handand flexes his fingers experimentally.

The man that seemed to have been the cause of the crash did indeed have the look of someone who desperately needed a bath and a good nights sleep. mentally checking on how many rooms the Khoas had, he decides that there were plenty of cabins for both the crew (hopefully it didnt grow too much larger) and the passengers.
"Please choose a room on the third level and get your self cleaned up and rested. we can talk about fixing this mess up later." Waving to Eli as he appeared, silent as always.
The odd thing was mr. million appearing in a gold set of armor, and that it gave him strength almost equal to his own. Dan wondered how much punishment the armor could take. then he realized it was the golden clank from before.
"fancy suit ya got there myles." He says pulling the younger simian like man off his back and setting him on the floor. "do you mind? you can study my limbs all ya want, but you will never understand them. its magi science. adding illogic to logic. it will only give you a migraine," Daniel says, a mite perturbed at the antsy young man

He nods thankfully and was about to head out to the third level. "Where, exactly is there a washroom?"
Mochi goes over to Daniel and sniffs him giving a loud "Wan!"

"The rooms I've seen have their own wash facilities, it's quite impressive. Even the small crew quarters are equipped with a basin and flush pot under the bunk. By the way, I could see what this thing's eye sees when it closed over my head. Somehow, the curse has already acted upon you. Who knows how, this ship's curse is a devious one, it could have acted at any point in your life. I'd not even be surprised if it your mother took a voyage on the vessel in its better days and it acted before you were born."
