Coal into Diamonds! (RP tiem)

[Zerrif]

As Shichiro paid his fee to get on the ship, and boarded, he realized that it wasn't just a straight walk onto the ship. There was a magical portal that whisked him away from dock to ship, and it was as if the ship was in constant flight. Upon asking the attendant, he found that the ship could be reached via these portals at any time upon payment, but could only send the passengers back when the ship was in a certain range of the destination. Trying to exit earlier would probably just send him overboard.

That was fine with him. He didn't really understand the magical nature of things-- and through research he had to accept that some just were just magical, and that was their explanation. He could try to figure out some sort of physics based relation, relating distance to how much magical energy had to be exerted by the portals or to hold them-- but in the end it all came down to magic.

It didn't matter. He was assured that the Airship would constantly circle around for days on end, and hit Yuno along it's route. From there he'd just have to get on another airship, and head to Einbroch. He let Ch?vre run rampant over the deck, the small sheep-like Homunculus enjoying the freedom and the feeling of being in the skies.

Wind whipped through his hair and his clothes, as he stared at the horizon. His party members would be here soon, and together they'd just be... waiting. That sounded kind of boring. He paced around while he waited (never being one to really be able to sit around when he had a plan to follow), when he felt another presence on the ship's deck.

Turning around, expecting he'd be able to greet his party members, he blanched slightly as he suddenly saw monsters materializing on deck, and more coming in through the skies, flying at them. Gremlins, Beholders, Seekers, Rotar Zairo-- these had to be the ones that the party was talking about. "Be careful when you get on. It seems we're under attack." Shichiro told his party, trying to look around.

He felt a slight pull on his insides, as he suddenly began to worry. Where was Ch?vre? There was the sound of bullets-- probably those guns those flying Goblins had, and the bleat of his sheep. He stared around before he saw the small white puffball mercilessly headbutting one of the Rotars, though it was under heavy fire. He glared, and drew his Fireblend sword.

"An adventurer!" One of the workers on the ship said. "Please, help us get rid of these monsters! We can't keep going with them here!" Shichiro looked around at the request. The sheer number of monsters on board made him think that this was a lengthy, if not impossible task. Instead, he just nodded, and smiled.

"I'll do my best."
