The Dark Hunt

..............

OOC nothing to say Gorath?

The arbite goes back to the captain, seeing the zeplin beginning to fall.

OOC but it isn't falling...

Ooc: just going with what fae said.

it lost its flame, it's not persay falling, just descending as the air in the balloon cools

Ooc: so.... yeeees.

OOC the balloon is inflated by a machine, not the flame...

it still needs an intake, which that object flew into and catalyst detonated in

Ooc: exactly.

OOC...if its powered by a machine, a machine i should point out they have a lot of spare parts for, how is it crippled?

OCO the whole blew up almost

Ooc: electrical circuits, wiring, attacking the machine spirit... jamming cogs, taking off the coolent system...

OOC aaalrighty then. should also note it has Vectored thrusters underneath to provide extra thrust
IC *mark is already repairing it*
Mark: Goddamn how does this happen

from one of the makeshift rooftops in the distance, a dark silhouette watches the zeppelin as the explosion rings out
"the hunt will soon begin..."
it fades into the fog

OOC cya guys at 3 EST

Ooc: cya.

they use the vectored thrusters to climb incredibly high to keep them afloat

"What the hell caused that?"

Mark: no clue! some tiny explosion

"Your ship do that often?"

Mark: literally never

OOC yay back. and we have thunderstorms

the darkness below them groans with undeath, the zombies have been disturbed

*they're high up enough to not care due to the vectored thrusters*

"What happens if there's another malfunction?"

around them in the air, more of those reflective small orbs drift through the air. it's almost beautiful to look upon as the air lights up with these orbs

Mark: we just fix it.. we have loadsa spare parts

"You ever seen these before?"

Mark:...nope!

"Then that means it's not normal, right?"

Mark: yyyyyyyep

the fire in the thrusters suck in air to keep ignited, the little orbs follow the air, getting closer to the ship progressively

OOC they turned off the thrusters when they got high enough
IC Mark: okay! One more part swap and the balloon is fine!

still pretty as hell with those orbs amongst the dark

"Why are they getting closer?"

Mark: no clue! Okay done the balloon is working again. *he activates a force shield around the machine this time*

...force shield... doesn't seem over the top.

the orbs seems to get caught on the shield like flys in a respective trap

Mark: what? gotta protect dat shit

"You must need lots of power for that shield"

Mark: nah not that much.

suddenly whatever is the equivalent of a car in wh40k slams against the shield's side from nowhere with 0 warning before falling back down after 'rocking the boat'

OOC the shield's just over the machine not the whole ship fae

The arbite grabs a railing as the ship is hit.

"HOLD ONTO SOMETHING!"

as the car hits the ground the undead are disturbed and begin to wonder out. the silhouette staring into the sky at where the zeppelin is

OOC...fae did you see my last post?

OOC I saw it, car still hit the zeppelin side though

OOC okay then. how did it get several thousand feet in the air?
IC Mark: well that's not good

OOC didn't you see that the Dark Hunter can defy a lot of physics at once? that goes for throwing things with mere hand gestures

"Something wants us out of the air"
