A slightly smaller Mess

Lyanna: name one group in your imperium that strolls down to the underhive to do anything other than break heads.

Caiber nods at bandit before getting moving

Laurence: "How many astartes chapters recruit from hive gangs?"

Lyanna: specifically because life is so shit there it makes people harder? That's not humanitarian.

Laurence: "The church then. Plenty of sects give alms to the poor. Let children sleep in the chapel when the vents run cold."

"The same church that burns people at the stake?"

Laurence: "The very same. Although the sects that shelter children tend not to burn people. They're more the shouting curses type."

"This is going nowhere..."

Laurence: *he makes a face, a sort of thinking face.* "Actually. I think its going somewhere. I think i agree."

she raises an eyebrow

Laurence: "The imperium is fucking awful. I've known that a long long looong time... But maybe its just as bad as chaos..." *he rests his chin on his fist, resting his elbow on his knee*

"Chaos as a whole, no. Certain groups, maybe."

Laurence: "It begs the question though, doesn't it. Should i be associating myself with the imperium, as a whole. I fought with the mechanicus a few weeks ago."

"Dunno. Not good at answering that question myself."

"Its not as if i can leave though. The question's hypothetical."

"Hm"

"The inquisition doesn't really let people leave."

OOC: So I was thinking, I’ve never really worked out how Max and Akira’s ship looks beyond ‘Not Imperial’.

Since I’m fairly useless and nobody in this house believes in LEAVING MY PAPER ALONE, I’m just gonna poach a ship from halo!

Spoiler:

That there, is a Strident Class Heavy Frigate. And I think it’s pretty! So in the interest of actually having something to base descriptions off of, here you go!

OOC: is that a giant railgun in her bow?

OOC: It might be, I’m not actually sure to be honest

OOC: I always envisioned her more like this. since she's supposed to be all armour and no shields, i imagined a short squat chunky thing.

OOC: Is She all armour and no shields?
I know Roberts flagship is, since it’s an old ironclad.

Spoiler:

/\ 3D render

OOC: Also...

Spoiler:

Which combination of body, hair, and weapon do you think would fit Gang-Era Akira best?

I happen to like Necromunda, so I might make a little gang based off of Max and Akira’s misadventures when they were younger

I think the blonde one to the bottom left works well, I can greenstuff the midriff and the hair is a separate piece.

OOC: back in the old days akira had hair more like the one with red hair on the right. Half shaved n all that. And knife and pistol was her way.

OOC: Alright, I wonder how hard it’d be to do a Stormcoat with greenstuff...
You know, we never managed to explore their past since the thread collapsed.
Should we all eventually run out of plot lines, we could do a thing set aboard the hive ship.

OOC: We could indeedy. Go back to the olden days, or in the present?

OOC: Olden days, enough conflict and hive politics to keep everyone happy, with lots of character development and chances to bring new goons in. We’d get to see Max go from emotional wreck to everyone’s favourite slightly insane genius. And Akira from badass leader to more badass wife of the insane guy!

Spoiler:

Something like that for Akira maybe?
I should be able to pull that off with green stuff

OOC: Pretty much, but with pink hair.

s:

OOC: She has pink hair?

OOC: she had. Dyed obviously. Nowadays shes grown it out and let it go back to black, lookin all respectable n shit

OOC: Alright, shouldn’t be too hard

Max: *He steps out onto the grass and inhales deeply* “I think this is the place”

Akira: "I think... i think you're right.... There's wood over there... need to do some tests on the water... but it might be drinkable."

*Max smiles and nods* “let’s do it” *From behind the pair the few scientifically minded fellows are hastily ferrying equipment out*

she nods

Akira: "You mean lets watch it be done by people who know what they're doing?"

Laurence: "In any case." *he claps and stands up* "This isn't just a social call."

Max: “Pretty much, or we could explore a little”

Akira: "We could. Theres probably something nasty out there."

*there is a knock at noctis' door*

Max: “even better, we find a place to live and we get a nice rug out of it!”

*Emma approaches from behind* "Hey guys"

Lyanna raises an eyebrow

*door slides open*

“Emma!” *Max turns, a great smile adorning his face*

Laurence: "I have it on good authority. That your friends are coming."

Akira: "Oh hello. Just contemplating going on a hunting trip."

*Raeven is standing outside the door.* "Lieutenant noctis, I have been meaning to show you something."

Emma: hunting? I'm down, what are we after?

Noctis: *salutes* As you say, Captain.

Lyanna: oh piss.

Max: “Whatever we find out there” *He points out toward the forest and lands surrounding them*

Akira: "Just going for a wander really."

Raeven: "At ease, Noctis." *he points a finger, and waggles it.* "Its that sort of thing we need to get you out of the habit of."

Laurence: "Pretty much. This planet is fucked. It's Pdf is an utter joke, the nearest undeployed astartes chapter is at least a month away, and the nearest imperial guard regiment is two weeks. Its not too far to say the best defended building on this planet is this one."

OOC: Also any idea for the name of their gang?

/It is mid afternoon, the trees are a dazzling array of greens, oranges, and reds as their leaves begin to die. Curious wildlife dot the horizon and edges of the forest, watching the newcomers with animalistic innocence. They do not fear the humans or the Kroot, a sure sign that this planet carries no civilised life”

Kerak: *sniffing the air.* "No predators."

OOC: not a clue

Max: “Or simply none you recognise”
*He quickly disappears into the shuttle and returns with a wooden rifle*
“If we’re going to live here, we’ll need to rest the food too”

Kerak: "No blood. No kills near. Blood smell like blood."

Max: “A good predator will mask its kill, come on. Let’s go hunting!”
