RE: Of Spaceport Markets

The group's spirits were damped by the magical sideshow, incongruously bleak in the majestic and peaceful surroundings.  Lao-tzu tried accepting Raelan's apologetic attempt to "fix" the damage he'd done, but his heart wasn't in it.  He'd had trouble at his cottage before, but this motley crew was strangely disturbing in a way he couldn't put his finger on.  Raelan's switch from casually throwing lightning bolts to whimpering over some dirt was odd.  At least Dante's wanton act of destruction was consistent, and his apology sincere.  And Starcey's troubled young soul just took it all in.  He wondered what went on in all their heads, but knew that it was usually a bad idea to use magic to find out.

Nobody felt very talkative, so everyone quietly filed into the spaceship.  Before the hatch whirred shut, Lao-tzu could just hear the first chirp of a bird coming out after the loud noises.

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

Starcey felt she would prefer if Dante would lose interest and just fly to another star system, but something (magic?) told her that it just wasn't going to happen that way. Dante was powerful, frightening, and was here to stay.

She pushed her motorcycle - her baby - into the cargo hold. Alone in the compartment, she took the opportunity to sneak her gun - a gigantic semi-automatic - into a holster under her jacket. If somebody, anybody, started glowing in any frakking color of the rainbow, they'd have to answer to her. Magic might be loud and flashy, but she'd never seen it stop a 45 caliber slug. And there wasn't going to be any ridiculous magical power contests out in space, with just a thin metal membrane separating them from certain death.

Resigned, she made herself comfortable in the passenger compartment of Raelan's transport. All the while, she kept a sharp eye on the magical threesome, trying not to draw attention to the bulge in her jacket.

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

Raelan hooked his hand back into the pilot device, and booted up all systems. "Once we're clear of the atmosphere you can unstrap from your seats and wander, I don't have much space and of you Lao-Tsu is the most likely to make heads or tails of the things with magic involved, but there's plenty of stuff back there of only a technical nature if you care to check them out."

That sentence had been aimed mostly at Starcey, this was essentially her first space flight, the other two he wasn't so worried about. She did look a little agitated and with the demo they'd given he couldn't blame her, Dante's spell had made him behave even more erratically than he was already, but it had also made him notice his own actions more, what kind of unnecessary damage had he caused over all this time?

"sorry about that mess, I would much have preferred  do a demo with the defensive crystal, as I have a much bigger and more interesting array of spells that I use it for. But that was the one that I broke..."

Oh well. He slipped into the one quarter trance he always used while piloting anything, and became 'aware' of the ship. Lao-Tsu's finely tuned senses may notice the seepage of his energy (if this was even out of the ordiary, it was entirely possible everyone did this consciously or not, Raelan had no way of knowing) through the ship 'claiming it' in a way, but the trickle is too small to even mess with dante any more than the enchanted items, which are not active, that were scattered across the interior.

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

During the previous night, the old sage thought deeply about the struggles of the day.  As everyone quietly sat with their own thoughts, Raelan piloting, Dante brooding, Starcey planning, Lao-tzu pondered those thoughts.  

Traveling to the mountain by starship had been a mistake, it set things going at a much too fast velocity for his comfort.  In just one day, he met two men of strange composition and huge potential, and the troubled and gifted young daughter of former friends.  In just one day, he decided to go on an interstellar voyage with all three.  This was the sort of thing he would do in his youth, before he had true fluency in his art.  What brought on this sudden break, this renewal he was feeling?  Deep down, perhaps far away, he sensed a call to action, a critical juncture where he would fulfill a required function.

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

(several things:
1: This is Dante, my internet is being slow so I don't want to take the time to switch characters.
2: Sorry for being gone the past week+ my internet died three days before I left for a trip to go to Washington DC.
3: I was wondering if you guys wanted to have a run-in with this character (lobiel) in space.
4: I am ezperiencing jetlag, headache, and writer's block so I will not post at this time))

[[ We'll be glad to have you back to full whenever you are Smile

Also, I think it's a nice idea to meet up with Lobiel Grin.  An anti-magic policeman in space meets up with... a motley group of magic-users (and a punk kid) that is traveling on a whim from the very center of the arcane arts to a planet known for its organized crime.  Bound to be good fun, and Lao-tzu will have an opportunity to run some experiments on the group. Let's see if you can figure out what I mean by that...   ]]

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

Dante originally was going to just sleep the entire trip but decided against it. He was also gonig to bring his own ship but decided that once he collected the contract he'd hire a taxi to return to Micc. Once they had cleared the atmosphere he began to study the ship. Over the years Dante had aquired a little more than a basic understanding of engineering and some of the things amazed him, and others not so much.

After much exploring, and some questions about certain devices he settled down. Dante had borrowed a cloth and proceeded to dissemble and clean his gun.

(Want to continue this in Space? if you guys want to I can create the new topic.)
