[ 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! ]

[Pearl frowns a little. Oh she knew of cigarettes. Often wrinkled her nose at them. They were so smelly and... eugh.]

Have you thought about kicking the habit? I mean, you could start weening yourself off it.

[ "eugh" is right, pearl.

still, badou just laughs. ]


Oh, sure, plenty of times. Even almost did it, once.

[ he trails off, looking down now at the spent matchstick he's taken to rolling between his fingers. ]
beyourrock: (A human?)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-12 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[And she watches that, with a hint of worry.]

What happen all those previous times?

[personal profile] nichocolatine 2016-04-12 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I remember why I started in the first place.

[ swiftly, he crushes the spent matchstick and flicks it off in the distance. there's a grin on his lips, but a glint in his eye only sharpens it. ]

So! [ where were they? ] Fish hearts, huh? It matter what kinda fish?
beyourrock: (Sneaking.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-12 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her face falls slightly. A reason? But the question draws her attention away from the initial response.]

Any fish hearts will do! They never specified what kind.

I can just give ya the whole fish, right? I ain't gotta dig the hearts out myself?

[ because gross ]
beyourrock: (It's... night time?)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-12 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dear god.]

You can give the whole fish, yes.

[Pearl cringes a little, because yeah, that is gross and ugh organics, but maybe she can get some help with it.]

We'll... take care of the rest.

[personal profile] nichocolatine 2016-04-12 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Well shit if that ain't the easiest job I ever had!

[ not that he's much of a fisherman but how hard can it be??

speaking of which— ]


D'ya know if we're getting paid at all? Cuz papa's gotta buy himself some new threads. [ the alastair uniform is nice and all but it ain't him, and none of the nalawi stuff here is any good at getting blood out of cotton who knew ]
beyourrock: (Cute pout.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-12 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pearl blinks owlishly as she stares at him... and shakes her head with a small pout.]

Getting paid? N-No. No one is getting paid for this.

There's a possibility we could restore some magic back to ALASTAIR recruits and the Nawali.

[personal profile] nichocolatine 2016-04-12 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, not for this.

[ he waves a hand in the air, dispelling some of the smoke that's gathered in front of his face. relax, pearl, beneath all this ash is a heart of gol— ]

I mean the whole mission in general.

[ jk. ]
beyourrock: (Curious glance.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-12 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy.]

We... get paid in gratitude and respect? And the feeling of a job well done?

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-12 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes I am. We don't really get paid for the missions we go on.

Sometimes we get little rewards so.. I'm sure you could get something!

[Maybe.]

[personal profile] nichocolatine 2016-04-12 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he sobers up rather quickly. perhaps almost too quickly.

given the kinda shit these alastair people are capable of... ]


What kinda something?
beyourrock: (Well you see...!)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-13 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Pearl offers him a weak smile and a bashful laugh.]

Well, they're more like gifts. I was given a clam bed, a pair of ballet shoes and ah... pet giant bird.

[personal profile] nichocolatine 2016-04-13 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ he blinks, and for a second he looks almost... disappointed.

but in the next his lips are twisting, and he's back to grinning, if not a bit too wryly. ]


Gotta say I ain't finding much of a pattern there.
beyourrock: (Oh Steven.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-13 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I will have to agree with you on that. It is all rather odd.

But who knows what you might get! [Pearl grins a little herself.]

You might be pleasantly surprised one day.
nichocolatine: (pic#10160262)

[personal profile] nichocolatine 2016-04-13 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ there is a thoughtful pause, in which badou takes a long, long drag of his cigarette. ]

Y'know what I really, really want right now..?
beyourrock: (Curious glance.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-13 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pearl tilts her head, blinking.]

What would that be, Mr. Nails?
nichocolatine: (pic#10160265)

[personal profile] nichocolatine 2016-04-13 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
A nice hot bath!!

[ suddenly he's ten years old ]

My back's killing me! Y'know how hard it is twisting an' turning to try and fit into these lil' guys' furniture? I'm dying!
beyourrock: (GIGGLE SNORT.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-13 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[She was not expecting that and.. her hand lifts to her mouth to muffle a small laugh. Pearl grins.]

They are quite small, aren't they? Have you tried the public baths? Maybe that will help with your soreness.
nichocolatine: (pic#10160349)

[personal profile] nichocolatine 2016-04-13 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Shit yeah, they're small! They're about two feet too small and it's murder on my spine, lemme tell ya.

[ though he probably shouldn't complain too loudly, they are letting him board for free after all... ]

These baths though... They safe?
beyourrock: (What's that?)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2016-04-13 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so.

[While the locals could be quite closed off and tense, she hasn't heard anything bad about it.]

I haven't been in there myself but, as long as you don't anger the locals, I believe you can take a bath peacefully.
