Episode 1: Recruiting a crew

* Jolanda looks about for a window or something else to look out of her temper, while contained, grows quicker now than before

"No. Let them try and hit us first." Windrider says. On the Comm, he adds "Everyone grab onto something very solid."

After a second, Windrider arches the vehicle up, using the verticle lift fans as extra breaks. After a moment, he veers left, eventually back tracking all but playing chicken with one of the Sky King.

The Sky King broke off when the hovertransport turned on it, banking hard to the left long before they would collide. The secondd one used the opportunity to get behind La Mish.

(OOC: Sorry, no windows except in the cockpit)

*looks up to the speaker as she's told to grab a hold of something solid, and suddenly realizes she's too far away to do anything but TRY to remain on the feet. once the vessel starts into its acrobatic manouvers, Jolanda recalls that she was useless on the boat as well, for much the same reason.

*her arms flail as she struggles to stay upright and get to the nearest wall to hold on, she finds that the floor vanishes briefly before she hits and falls. even as she falls her muttered comment in Euro is lost to the sound of the engines. "oh ****, this isn't good .... "
[god i can't believe i failed my PP check, but i did, so i fall over - *sigh*]

*her attempt to land in a good manner fails and she hears the sound of something creak and then snap as she hits the side of the ship. her good arm snakes through the upright rib and now pins her in place, as the face goes white with pain. all plans to help now gone as she fights her inner body's various signals that demand her to cry out in pain.

[ ooc - not what i expected, but i'm working with what i get served.

A sigh is heard of the comm and Kat replies to Chaz "Ingrate." with a joking tone of voice as she takes position behind the mercs. She fires a shot from her rifle at one of the mercs, and takes cover behind the building she's standing beside. (strike: nat 20, damage: 22 sdc * 2 = 44)

Seeing the other Sky King come up from behind, Windrider decides to see how fast that pilot's reflexes are. Hitting reverse, Windrider stops the vehicle and sends it flying backwards towards the sky king.

Thinks I'm a Tree was not pleased at this sudden change, but had learned not complain when Windrider was doing these things. The little monkey made up his mind to complain later. Loudly.

* Jolanda stays put in a small shape, anchored to the wall and protecting the injured arm. the face is pale and starting to sweat slightly, as she keeps her body from instinctively healing itself.

*quietly in her own language she explains to herself the following ... ' i must wait until this swerving in done with to sit and get it in the right spot before trying to get it healed' .. *that done, she releases the held breath slowly and while the arm hurts, its like the pain works in the opposite way it should. it continues to keep her aware and alert.

Justice fired another couple shots and decided this was rediculous. Jerran, do you have any protection spells that you could cast on me? I'm going after that radio to get us out of here. She looked at him, keeping herself covered so as to not get hit by fire, she also checked the payload on her drawn pistol. Her off hand, the right one, drew the remaining pistol with a great speed as she checked her payload on that one as well. I won't ask you to do it, Jerran, but if you have a spell that will protect me from their shots while I grab that radio then I would greatly appreciate it. Snapping the pistols shut she looked at him again, a look to her eyes that said she was going to risk it either way.

Jerran looks at Justice..his face stone...
Clapping his hands together; "Aegis est Ithan" and reaches out to touch Justice on her boot, allowing for the magic to flow over her.

o.o.C. (3rd. level Armour of Ithan on her now)

A grim wink is fired over at the law-woman; "Use in good health, and keep your head low".

[frostwolf]

She shivered a little as the magic coursed over her. She looked at Jerran and gave him a nod of thanks. Her eyes told him that she appreciated his help and that her trust in him was well placed. Not even a word of negativity, interesting, wonder why he didn't try to stop me... she thought for only a moment. She took a deep breath and putting away the second pistol, leaving only one in her left hand and her right hand open to grab the pistol. She moved herself back still undercover and looked over at Chaz's position. She waited until he glanced over and she nodded her head at him. She was committed now, and she wasn't going to wimp out. She pulled together every ounce of her being, and with as much as she could muster ran forward towards the radio, dropping into a tumble roll to grab the radio, then back onto her feet and then across over to where Chaz was. Even through acrobatic feats and her prowess and dexterity, Justice still took a couple of shots which were thankfully blocked by the magical spell which had been cast upon her. Breathing heavily and holding both weapon and radio she smiled at Chaz, holding the radio out to him. With heavy breathing she spoke, Here ya go, Boss, now what? She took several moments to try and gain her breathing back to a normal rhythm as she kept her head low and out of firing range.

* Jolanda lurches to the feet and uses the good arm to move closer to the 'forbidden' area. the pilot's compartment, is only for the males. at least the HER it is the forbidden area. thus she stands in the doorway and she sways slightly as her eyes suddenly flare with the mental energies .. her target, the pilot on the Sky-King in the front.

*the energy flares about the pilot, and it is HER intention to raise him higher into the sky and then it spikes and the energy flares again, as the target is acquired and the effort is made with a whoosh.

she then grabs a hold of the wall strut again and moves out of view to rest with her back to the wall.

" You're crazy, you know that? Both you and you're monkey!" Wes told windrider in a slightly panicked tone as he looked back at the opening door. " Nice... " but stopped short with the look on Jolanda's face. He turned back to his console, sputterring, " What have I gotten myself into...?"

the Sky king that had overtaken them due to the radical maneuverslost control suddenly and veered from view towards the ground below, leaving only one somewheres out of sight.

Accepting his radio back, Chaz looked at Justice in disbeleif as several shot pounded their hiding place. He finally said, " At least I won't be the only one in the asylum." In the radio he said, " Hey, if anyone's listening. We need a pick up. Now!"

Windrider picks up the comm. "We're on our way." Turning to Wes, he says "Well? Can't you see she's hurt. Get her in a chair." Back to the radio, he says "You all in one place?"

Meanwhile, he does a more lazy (in a manner of speaking) turn towards Derrick's so that Wes can get Jolanda strapped in.

[shiivster]

* Jolanda's voice is heard, the accent heavy just now .. ' I am being fine. get the others. setting of bones can wait, hurry. i hope that one i tossed is not being hurt badly '

*then waves off Wes and his torn decision to help. " you are needing to protect the others when they come. i will be making the door open when told to. yes? the others getting inside is being important. i will hold on with my good arm .. ' *she is then seen headed towards the rear door, to do just as she has said.

Jerran looks up to the sky as he hears something akin to a Stuka dive-bomber..and grins as he sees the Sky-King auger-in towards the ground.

"Gypsy princess has a temper I see...about time too" ;D
