[ 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! ]

Holy shit, so down for this. Do we have to catapult it? What if I just ran up and dropped it in?

[beyourrock]

...If we want this to be a successful mission, we must follow ALASTAIR's schematics. Thus, we will be using the catapult.

If the volcano does erupt, and you were at the lip of it... [She trails off because. Ramir please...]

[heavyhitter]

Come on, that'd be half the fun! How many people can say they've surfed lava before, right? And the personal touch would make sure it gets in right, there's like a million things that could go wrong with a catapult!

[beyourrock]

Not unless we work from the schematics. They're very detailed, and if we follow them to every exact detail, the catapult will not fail.

They said they've tested it.

[heavyhitter]

They're also cats , right?

[beyourrock]

Yes, but can one truly judge a book by it's cover?

When I'm in my original form, I'm just a rock. But when I use my powers, I maintain this form.

[heavyhitter]

Okay, great, so some cats gave a rock and a fish a bomb. This is like the start of a fucked up joke.

[aspearation]

Yeah, that's a good idea, you run up and drop it in! See how that works out!

[heavyhitter]

I know you're fucking with me but I'm totally serious. I could do it!

[aspearation]

No, you are not actually running into a volcano!! We're trying to make sure people don't die!

[heavyhitter]

It's fine, come on, I've done lava before!

[aspearation]

If you go anywhere near that lava, I'm going to have to come after you.

[heavyhitter]

Um, I'm pretty sure I could handle it way better than you, gills. Fish and fire don't do so good together unless we're talking dinner.

[aspearation]

[ . . . ]

Why the heck are you so weird?! You're not going into the lava, and I'll sit on you if I have to!

[heavyhitter]

Oh my god, chill, last time I checked you weren't my mom and I can throw myself into lava if I want to!

[aspearation]

We're throwing a bomb into the lava. You'd probably explode!

[ Probably. ]

[ NOT THE ONLY ONE, SIS. ]

It'll have to be at least a few megatons.

[ he can't hide the excitement in his voice. ]

[heavyhitter]

I know, right! Oh man, there's not gonna be anywhere on this buncha rocks they won't hear and see this shit. It's gonna be good.

[selfimage]

Oh—yes. It'll catch someone's attention, won't it?

[heavyhitter]

Yeah? Got anyone special in mind? [ a beat, then the sound of suddenly remembering: ] Wait, quick question, do this one first — are you Loki Loki? Like, the god guy?

[selfimage]

[ he's about to answer, but he pauses at that. ]

Oh, yes. The one and only—well, debatable, but ... yes. The Loki of Asgard.

[heavyhitter]

Oh, okay.

[ should she be impressed that she is, apparently, meeting the god of a bunch of old hairy guys? she considers it a few seconds, isn't sure, and shrugs it off. ]

See, some guy asked me if you were that Loki, and I was like, fuck if I know. But anyway, back to catching attention, think we can use this as some kinda god hook up service?

[selfimage]

Consider this confirmation from the source.

[ it's actually a little refreshing. way back in the day he might have considered it an insult, but he seems to take it happily in stride. ]

That's what I'm hoping. It is her volcano, after all, we will be touching her stuff.

[heavyhitter]

Putting our grubby little hands all over her shit, that's right. I bet gods hate that. Confirm?

[selfimage]

Depends on the god, but I wouldn't be adverse into testing this ones temperament.
