[ 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! ]

We just need to help the volcano erupt, not explode the entire thing!

The list is very... erratic to say the least. Wood, metals, obsidian, flowers, sea urchins, coconuts, and... [They say Nawali hearts but... there is a substitute.] fish hearts.

We would want to assemble as a group and tackle this in one setting. That way we can get everything together as quick as possible and launch it into the volcano in one fell swoop.

[dbag]

...Okay this doesn't exactly sound like science. BUT you know what, I got it covered. Except maybe the coconuts, they've really been jacking up the prices on those things.

[beyourrock]

I agree, they are very nonconventional materials for a bomb. However, they have done the proper testing for the make of this bomb, so I believe it should at least explode. How big or how much? Who is to know. I believe it should be enough to make a makeshift eruption.

Yes the economy has suffered greatly here. But with whatever you can find, it will help!

[dbag]

Soooo as much as I'm still down for this, how far away are we gonna be when we catapult this??

[beyourrock]

It's a safe distance. ALASTAIR has tested the bomb, along with schematics on how to launch it. As long as we follow the instructions, we'll be fine.

[dbag]

Okay, I'm trusting you on this! Don't let me down. Well, I guess it wouldn't matter if you let me down, because I'd be... dead.

Anyway, let me know when we're gonna do this thing.

[beyourrock]

I will be sure to let everyone know, for those who are interested!

I don't believe I caught your name! I'm Pearl.

[dbag]

Whoa, Pearl??? Never could've guessed with that username. You're throwing me off here. Anyway, I'm Rhys.

[beyourrock]

[Pearl wasn't too keen on this technology when she arrived. She kept it default.]

Oh ah, right. I keep forgetting about that.

Rhys, a pleasure to make your acquaintance!

[dbag]

You, too. And hey, about everyone putting down the idea, I think it's gonna be AWESOME and we're gonna SAVE THE DAY so they can SHOVE IT.

[beyourrock]

While I will admit, I'm a little skeptical about the idea, we have no other solutions at this time. If we can help a little bit with this plan, it's something.

I know we're all suffering with this lack of magic nonsense.

[A pause.]

"Shove it" has a negative connotation, right?

[dbag]

I mean I'm doing just fine without ~*mAgIc*~ but... sucks for everyone else I guess.

Annnd yeah. Like. They can take their opinion and shove it? ...Up their asses.

[beyourrock]

But they're just words. You can't phsyically take them and-- Nevermind. I never be able to wrap my head around human slang.

None the less, I'm glad to have your assistance in this Rhys.

[dbag]

Well. Yeah. But it's metaphorical. They're metaphorically shoving it up their metaphorical you know what it doesn't really matter. The point is that they're gonna be BLOWN AWAY (ha) when we save the day, and they're gonna be all, "Oh, man, we should've listened to Rhys and Pearl and blown up that volcano."

[ Okay, yes, they're not actually blowing it up, he's heard it enough times. But they're catapulting a bomb in there, and it's basically the same thing. Explodey things are going to happen. And it is going to be dope. ]

You totally have my assistance. I'm kinda ready to get off this rock. All the deer are mean and the innkeeper's winning our chess game and I sort of bet money I don't have on that.

[beyourrock]

Ah that makes much more sense!

I will admit, the natives have been less than helpful about things. You... placed a bet on a chess game?

[Okay she's heard of betting in card games, sports games, and so on. But chess?.]

Why on earth would you place a bet in a chess game?

[dbag]

Things are expensive here! We don't get a lot of extra stuff to spend! There's some stuff I needed so I thought I'd bet him that I'd win and... you know, get paper??

I probably should've wondered why he said yes so quickly.

[beyourrock]

Oh dear stars...

How much was it? I don't need food to sustain myself, so I can spare some currency.

Wait- did you just gloss over that list? Fish hearts? This is an explosive device, not dinner!

[She was on board with the idea, but- what???]

[dbag]

So what I'm hearing right now is that you eat fish hearts.

[grunehexe]

- you aren't supposed to? The skewered grilled ones have all the organs don't they?

[dbag]

...Do you mean kebabs? Whatever, don't care, point is, it can't be that hard to catch a fish. Then... someone else can do the getting the heart part.

Coconuts are way harder. You've gotta steal one or climb a coconut tree or something, idk.

[grunehexe]

I'm not saying they're hard to find, I'm saying they aren't bomb ingredients!

[dbag]

lol

We're on MAGICAL DEER ISLAND and that's your problem???

[grunehexe]

It is one of many, and the most pressing for the moment as I'm sure you've noticed.

[dbag]

Ok but they're cats. That can talk and build bombs. I kinda think all logic went out the window a long time ago. Idk about you but if they want fish kebabs in their bomb I'm gonna give them fish kebabs.
