Welcome to Orongo

Once those who decided to go along on the mission were gathered on the Obs Deck and had time to go over the mission briefing, the detachment procedures began.

As with the missions before, the doors to the Obs Deck closed before it detached itself from Stacy, tethered by a massive umbilical cord. Those who had been on missions before would find the experience familiar if still somewhat unpleasant, but for those of whom this was their first mission, the sudden lack of gravity and lurching feeling as they entered the atmosphere would come as a surprise.

Thankfully though, the ride was quickly over as they landed safely on the planet below, the gravitational dampeners of the Obs Deck gently dropping the crew members back on their feet. One of the walls opened up, forming a ramp to the ground below. There was a sudden, slight gust of air as the door opened as the thick air rushed in. Even so, the air felt quite warm and refreshing.

Looking outside, the crew would see the bright yellow sun looming overhead, quite close in comparison to the sun on most planets. A handful of small, silver clouds dotted the blueish purple sky.

Ahead of them stood a rather impressive looking plateau, surrounded by a tall, ornate stone wall which was covered in tribal markings. Directly ahead was a large gate through the wall, with several small stone buildings in front of it. Beyond the gates, a larger settlement could be seen. Surrounding the plateau and covering the surrounding region were numerous strange, blue and purplish trees and plants.

Beastboy was listening to the crowds back and forth but somehow had missed most the questions. He raised his hand high hoping to get the leaders attention.

"Um, um, can I ask about this artifact thing we're supposed to negotiate for? What's that all about?" Not the smoothest introduction...but no one ever accused Beastboy of being crafty.

"Beast Boy!"

Starfire looked alarmed. From what she remembered from her royalty-required lessons in diplomacy, that was one of the worst tactics to start with.

"I believe we should ask our crew leaders first," she whispered.

Beastboy paled "A-ah what'd I do wrong? Wasn't that what we were supposed to be here for?" He whispered back.

Starfire nodded. "Yes, but I worry that if we are too interested...it will make the Moai wary of us."

Of course, she hadn't heard that everyone knew exactly what was going on.

I am so sorry forever.

After leaving Billy and finding most people she knew either paired off, or just plain didn't know (maybe she should peek out of her cavern once in a while and not stay cooped up working on her stuff) FINALLY! Something green and easy to recognize. She pointed a finger at Beastboy like if he was about to be executed. It kinda was like that in an odd way. Welcome to your doom.

"YOU!" She nearly grabbed him by the collar and began to drag him. "You're coming with me."

"Oh hi Starfire!" There was a wave, as she continued to drag the boy away from her.

Beastboy let out a girlish cry. "W-wait! What did I do? I'm innocent! I want a lawyer!!!" He flailed getting dragged as easily as if he was half as heavy as Lash.

What's that, struggling? T O O B A D. Even if Beastboy could easily transform or something, Lash just dragged him away.

"We're getting married and you can't say no."

Smooth. Very Smooth.
