[ 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! ]

[ Earthquakes and eruptions; nothing Kida likes, but... ]

No Nalawi live upon the shores of Nalalona's island, yes?

[beyourrock]

I'm not for sure.

If they do, they should know of this volcano and it's activities. It's range, and how dangerous it is. We can always set up a boundary and make sure no natives are too close to the volcano when we launch the bomb into it. Just to be safe.

[adlantisag]

Then I will do what I can to help.

[ What had she told Helga before embarking on the submarine? 'High risk, high reward.' ]

What supplies will we need?

[beyourrock]

We will need metal, wood, rare red flowers with black stems, fish hearts, coconuts, and sea urchins. It's a rag tag bunch of ingredients for a bomb, but they react differently when combined together. Not your normal coconuts here when you put them to proper use.

[A small laugh escapes her. Exhausted, tired. She desperately wants this to work. She can't hold on much longer like this.]

We will scout out necessary ingredients within a few days. That way, we can assemble it all together in one sitting.

Pearl...

[ Kida wishes she could reach through the screen. ]

I will not allow you to fade. I will fight for you, my friend.

[beyourrock]

[Pearl tries to offer a smile through the feed, despite flickering again, which takes her a while to respond.]

I'm going to fight until the end, Kida. Along side all of you.

There's so many of us who need this to work. I know it all sounds rather silly. Tossing a bomb into a volcano and hoping it works. I want to believe it will.

Something has to come out of this.

[adlantisag]

Pearl, abandon this defeatist attitude! There will be no end so long as I can help it.

[ But how long will she be able to help it? They just don't know. ]

We will see this through. We will do--whatever it takes.
