Military Log - 013

[dadandgone]

[Launch Bay. Cambot is hovering near Maes as the man stares off. He is standing near one of the pods and it looks like he had been about to launch but why will have to wait. Maes closes his mouth and turns to Cambot]

Uh...guys. Please tell me this isn't a further delusion from the ghost vision thing going on. I mean, if it was I'd already be dead, but...here.

[He grabs cambot and turns him towards what WOULD be the open bay doors and the vastness of space...but instead it's a forest. Maes then turns Cambot back to himself]

It wasn't like that before, right? I mean, Pinkie I've seen you go FLOATING out there. We're supposed to be in SPACE, not, well, in some forest.

[The illogical nature of it all might start to be getting to Maes.]

Comments

[wavesinherheart]

Ah, we ... shouldn't be in a forest. Not unless something went wrong with the launch, anyway.

[dadandgone]

Well, the rest of the windows still show space...so I'm really not sure which is the illusion here.

You weren't seeing ghosts before were you Aqua?

[He needs to make sure this isn't just a delusion past ghosts or something]

[wavesinherheart]

No, I wasn't.

[dadandgone]

Just wanted to be sure this wasn't somehow a related delusion or something.

[He shakes his head]

I don't know what to make of it...it could be a way out, but it could also be some kind of messed up trap. Something to get us off the ship and somewhere worse.

[wavesinherheart]

I'm not sure I'd trust it. It's... too odd, if that makes sense.

[yabigfurball]

[Amaterasu looks amazed, and then barks in surprise and an attempt to get Maes' attention. Really, that's a forest out there? But everyone said it was just empty space!]

[dadandgone]

[He looks down at the dog]

Yeah, I don't know what to make of it...does it smell real to you?

[Smell was better than sight right?]

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy steps forward a bit, and take a sniff. She cocks her head at it, then looks back up at Maes. It smells...pretty real to her. But something about it is off, and she can't figure out what.]

[dadandgone]

[Maes cautiously approaches the woods, stepping down the ship's open launch bay doors. It doesn't feel right to him either but, well, SOMEONE has to go explore it. He pauses at the edge and turns back to Cambot]

Cambot. I need you to follow us. If things get bad we'll need you to call the others for help. Also if you can get another Cambot down here to stay at the edge in case he sees something that would be helpful too.

[Cambot bobs up and down and a second later there was another Cambot zooming towards them. Satisfied, Maes turns to Ammy]

Feel like going for a walk, girl?

[He knows she's more than JUST a regular dog, but it's hard not to address her as such sometimes. He may look unarmed but he has enough foresight now to always carry his knives, just in case]

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy nods at Maes, and steps out with him into the forested area. It definitely feels and smells like real forest to her.]

[She looks over her shoulder, but doesn't see her reflector or feel her brushes back. Weird...she's gotten her powers back whenever she used the time machine to go into the past. Why don't they come back now? Is there something other than the ship messing up her powers?]

[Regardless, it's time to press on into the woods.]

[colorbymemory]

[Guess who's been seeing ghosts this week but has been trying not to let on that she has.

Namine's a little speechless in confusion, at the moment, though.]

[dadandgone]

You all right there Namine?

[colorbymemory]

Yeah, just surprised.

[She looks a bit sheepish.]

[dadandgone]

This week has been full of them.

Although this one certainly takes the cake.

[skysmirror]

[Xion goes to her window to check]

You're right. But how...

[dadandgone]

I'm not sure yet. This needs to be investigated but all this magic or illusions and stuff was never my area of expertise.

But...someone has to check it out...it could be our way off this ship or something.

[skysmirror]

Maybe. Just be careful? We don't know what's out there, and what with how the nature deck started affecting everyone...

[dadandgone]

[He nods.]

I will. And I already have a tag-a-long coming with me, I think she'll keep me safe.

If things get out of hand, Cambot will let you know, I'm taking him with me as well.

[shortpants_knight]

That's... very odd. Then again, this week has been odder than most.

[dadandgone]

I couldn't agree more. I hope that Discord guy isn't involved again because I was under the impression we trapped him.

[shortpants_knight]

That wouldn't be good...

[dadandgone]

Not particularly. But he probably also would have made himself known by now.

1/2 Sorry XD

[sailormagic]

What?! A forest?! Oh no, there's no way-

[And she's scrambling off for... something.]

2/2

[sailormagic]

[And in next to no time flat, Twilight had dragged down several of those poles that are used to herd lines from the theatrical deck, no matter how much she had to break her back to do so, lined them up across the entrance to that forest, and is wrapping rope around them to make a barrier and keep people from going out there. Yellow rope at that.]

[dadandgone]

[Hughes watches her work. Waiting until she is finished before deciding to ask]

Is there a reason you are roping off the forest?
