Reunion

Why hadn't they done this before?

Last poddrop would have been much more tolerable parading around pretending to be pirates than just waiting for people to appear and guide them around the ship. Besides, there was a pretty good crew now, of course they wouldn't need a Wunderkind or and Overlord's help to do that all the time! They could introduce themselves in the coms later if they felt like it and leave all this free time that barely anyone used for the sensoriums. It wasn't like anyone they knew would wake up anyway...

As they had planned, they had spent the last hour with Pram outside to keep guard, not knowing what she'd been doing, engaged in a pirate battle. There was a huge ocean spanning as far as the eye could see, with two large pirate boats stuck in the middle, swaying around with each large wave. Both ships had taken damage, and Lash's deck had a few holes on it, but were still standing. Each one had sails with the colors of their occupant's; Lash's was a dark purple, her flag sporting Black Hole's symbol, with a metal figurehead of Flak as her bow. Zetta's sails were in dark red and black, a live buzzsaw as his figurehead, his pirate symbol (pirate and crossbones with flaming hair on top) flew as the highest flag on the ship . Rows of cannons waited below for her word as the Netherworld's hell-penguins struggled to keep up with her crazy demands of firing every few minutes. Sometimes she would violently take a Prinny and shove it into a new cannonball hole that had appeared to stop the water.

Dressed in what could never pass for proper pirate attire, Lash raised her cutlass, as she held on to the nearby rope, pointing her sword at the other ship before lowering it.

"Fire!"

Another row of cannonballs flew into the sky, accompanied with a prinny or two into the water to attack the ship below. Most of it was falling short of her target's ship, but causing large splashes of water to get sent to the other side. Lash was taunting him, really. The Wunderkind had never done a traditional ship battle, but her crew of Prinnies we getting ordered around like no one's business as she probably abused fake pirate words that would make Drake get angry with her.

"Arrr! Don't want t' give up yet? Next time I won't miss and you're ship will sinking into t' ocean! I'll be releasing my secret weapon!"

Terrible abuse.

"Arr!" Zetta shouted back, lazily slapping aside a cannonball that had been about to dent his incredibly fancy hat. "Ye speak brave words, Pirate Queen, but ye'll be singin' a different tune come my victory, yaaar!"

He paused expectantly, then jabbed the Prinny on his shoulder roughly in its gut. "Ow, dood!" it said.

"Say your damn line," Zetta growled.

"Aww, dood, do I have to? This is really humiliating!"

"You know what's more humilating? Being AMMO!"

The Prinny sighed. "Pieces of eight, dood."

"Hyaaaa ha ha ha ha!" Zetta said, and with a gesture caused the fuses of a dozen cannons to burst into flames. Grapeshot and debris burst out to hail into Lash's ship's rigging.

"DEPLOY THE BAIT!" Zetta bellowed into the rigging.

One of the crossbars of the mainsail shot outwards telescopically. The rope attached to it end looped around a Prinny and yanked it outwards to dangle temptingly over the water, an irresistible treat for any sea monster.

"That was the only tasty Prinny on the ship!" Zetta called back at it. "All the other ones over here taste like crap! And I mean that literally! Lash has all the delicious Prinnies on HER ship"

Zetta stared at the ex-Kraken for a baffled moment.

"You know, that saw was entirely for show. It had no practical use whatsoever."

Then he shrugged, and with a gesture ordered yet another broadside of grapeshot into her rigging. That's right, Lash; the Overlord intends to board you, not sink you!

Re: Suddenly! A Hawke interruption?

SUDDENLY

THE DOOR BURST OPEN

AND THERE WAS A HAWKE AND HE LOOKED...

Like he always looked, only perhaps a bit more bewildered. He wasn't sure what to expect when he threw open the Sensorium door, but it certainly wasn't this. It certainly wasn't pirates.

Maybe he could go back to his pod. Maybe it wasn't too late.

Zetta had conspired to make his cuts as fanservicey as possible, both given and taken, so right now the Overlord had a remarkably bare chest and forearms.

Almost at the same time as Lash pointed at Hawke, Zetta pointed his sword at her, not listening to her as he began his own complaint. "Hey! No summoning your allies, damn it! That's not part of this game!"

[identity profile] black-hawke.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that was Lash up there. Dressed in some kind of ridiculous pirate outfit, but that was definitely Lash. And some other guy. And apparently Lash thought he was part of the simulation?

He continued to stand in the doorway, arms folded and looking more than a little cross.

"Is this how you greet your commander?"

And then Pram came floating in as she finished typing a reply.

"Lash, by the way, your Commanding Officer woke up from the pods." Pram gave the late notice to the girl. She casually looked over at Hawke before looking back at Lash. "And I guess he came looking for you."

Pram, the most useful watch guard.

Yeah, uh, her ship was pretty much upside-down at this point. Technically still afloat though!

Zetta, meanwhile, had sat down at the edge of the beach, just out of range of the waves, and was disconsolately skipping rocks out into the water. Zetta being Zetta, each one was accompanied by a swift action shot of the stone skipping halfway around the globe, increasing in speed with every shot until some poor Prinny on a different continent exploded from its impact with said Prinny's skull.

This farce seemed to cheer Zetta up not at all.

"So, guess you're happy," he said, not looking her direction.

"Well, the cosmos has a sick sense of humor, Lash. You can trust the talking book stuck on a ship of meat on that one."

He snapped his wrist. The rock he flung nearly intercepted hers, shattering it into powder, then skipped on for the horizon.

"Kinda surprised you ever made it back in here," he said. Really quietly. Maybe he didn't say it. Shut up. You never heard it.

"Of course it's boring! What the hell did you think would happen when you took off, that I'd just keep pirating around without you?!"

Hell, there weren't even any Prinnies left in this little simulation. Just the two ships, debris on the water, and the two of them.

Zetta threw another stone as well, watching it zip out of sight in silence.

"You said you'd come back," he finally muttered, long after it had vanished over the horizon.
