[ Undyne had said she wanted more guidance from ALASTAIR. Here she is, with more guidance, and she doesn’t know if she likes it. Looking more ragged than ever, she’s standing with Pearl, with the volcano Nalalona in the background. ]

Alright chumps, listen up, it’s time for some teamwork! ALASTAIR has some ideas about what we can do to get the volcano going again, so everyone can get their powers back. ...it’s going to involve a bomb.

[Pearl clears her throat, despite the fact her body is flickering in and out of view at some points during the video. The Gem stands tall as she gestures back to the volcano.]

This is correct. ALASTAIR has entrusted us with schematics of creating a bomb and a catapult. It’s up to us to gather the necessary supplies and assemble them.

They have observed a high level of tectonic plate activity here, near the Nalalona volcano. With enough force -- the bomb in this case -- we can possibly trigger an eruption and restore the natives’ Gifts, along with our own magical abilities. The volcano’s opening is large enough for us to hit our mark with the bomb. It’s up to us to put it all together.


We can’t afford to not try. Look around you, half our team relies on magic just to exist. This isn’t just about helping the natives use magic anymore, this about saving ourselves. If you don’t use magic, good for you, but if you have a heart, you’ll understand why this is important, and why if I catch anyone slacking off, they’ll be answering to my spear about why they don't think it's important. Got it?!

[Pearl glances to Undyne and offers her a weak smile. The situation they were all facing was quite dire. She faces the feed again.]

I know we have the ability to make this work. And we will, if we all work together on this. Every little bit helps!

[ OOC note: There will be a mod-posted mass log on the 16th for gathering/construction/etc. Pearl and Undyne will be around, and feel free to use this post to chat among each other as well! ]

[ OOC edit: The NPCs Crowley and Cherenkov speak! ]
beyourrock: (That's endearing.)

Whatever you're capable of is more than enough for this.

[She furrows her brow, seeing his current state. They were all suffering from this. And they needed to be at peak performance, working under ALASTAIR.]

If you can help find some materials for the bomb, it'll help. We hope to assemble people sometime to gather what they can.
respired: and all this love (all these things)

What kinds of materials do you need?

[ He makes no comment on his state or ability: he is tired, and growing more so by the day, but he has not yet been rendered ineffectual. ]
beyourrock: (That doesn't look good.)

Metals, obsidian, sea urchins, rare flowers, red with black thorns, coconuts, wood and... [A little hesitant as she speaks.]

fish hearts.
respired: and it sets you free (if you search your soul)

[ He looks at her blearily, puzzled. Seems like a perfectly average list of materials to him. Mundane, even. ]

Are you squeamish, Pearl?
beyourrock: (You're wonderful.)

I'm not used to taking out inner workings of organic beings.

[Which is true. She isn't. But she shifts uncomfortably again.]

Originally it said 'Nawali' hearts on the list but. They said we could substitute fish hearts instead.

[the lesser of the two evils.]
respired: why don't you mind your own business (listen to the distance between us)

[personal profile] respired 2016-04-12 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Mmn.

[ He doesn't have much to say there. He's more than used to gutting just about anything. ]

Would the deer hearts be more effective?
beyourrock: (She stumbled.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-12 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
I... don't know.

[She lowers her gaze.] I would rather us go after fish hearts, than the hearts of the people we're trying to assist. They don't deserve that. Besides, with fish it would be much easier and, plus, p-people can have their own dinner! Fish for dinner!

[Pearl wrings her wrists a little. The thought of killing those deer. It brought back flashbacks to Chantes. The demons and chimeras they killed. The blood on her hands. The last breath some of them took while she looked them in the eye.]

I just.. would prefer for us to use the fish.
respired: and hope that i never stop watching you (know that i watch everything you do)

[ He's not nearly so far gone as to miss her distress. He replies with a gentle tone, and for once it actually does sound gentle--less harsh gravel, less ethereal echo, more like a normal baritone. ]

It is all right, Pearl. I will hunt the fish.
beyourrock: (As long as you're here.)

[Pearl perks up, and a small smile tugs at her lips. She nods in gratitude as she curls some hair away from her forehead.]

Thank you, Koltira. And please, don't push yourself too much.

[He looks like he's in pretty bad shape as is.]
