[ 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! ]

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.

[dbag]

Wow, that is... actually really nice of you. Huh. That's a new development for me. Thanks.

[ Seeing as, you know, most people here are dicks. (To him, at least, and it's totally unwarranted and he doesn't even deserve it a little bit, clearly.) ]

I would actually feel pretty bad about that, so. No thanks? It's gonna be fine! Because we're getting out of here before he wins with this kickass plan, anyway. Gimme virtual-five!

[beyourrock]

[Okay, she can't help but smile at that enthusiaism and grins, even though he can't see. But...]

Virtual five...





5


Like that?

[It's somewhat virtual. And it's a 5.]

[dbag]

Omg

[ THAT IS SO CUTE... ]

Do you know what a high-five is? Like... that. But virtual. I mean it's not... real. Just kind of a thing you say. Unless you want to slap your jewelry.

I'm just saying if we were in the same place right now I'd give you a high-five. Maybe a fist-bump.
