The Last City

[rocketmagnet]

[ She's wandered from the Tower, as she often does when there's downtime. The Iron Banner competition has been a drain on her time (how long did it take to earn a cloak?), but she's pulled her sore body away. Decked out in civilian attire and with a soccer ball tucked underneath her arm, the only feature that identifies her as a guardian is her usual cloak of the unborn that she wears proudly. It's a reminder of her duty and promise to those that reside here.

The market district always gets the most of her attention and she stops at various vendors. Most already know what the hunter is searching for, whether they're small, colorful toys or items she can use for arts and crafting. It's the little things that grab her attention and she's not worried if her pockets and bag end up filled with knick-knacks.

If she's not wandering the market district, she's found a group of human children to start a pick-up game of soccer with in an open square. It's one of the few games she knows the rules of, though she's happy to bend them. It's not often the children get to play games with a guardian and if they come away learning a trick or two, she's done her job. ]

Oooh, actually the hangar would be a lot cooler. You could fly in and see them then when you get home.

[rocketmagnet]

How well would a bubble keep you on top of a moving ship?

[rocketsout]

...........I can honestly say I have never ever thought about that in my life.

[rocketmagnet]

We could try.

[rocketsout]

Okay, but how fast is the ship going, that's the question

[rocketmagnet]

I can drive slow. How else will you get the stars on?

[rocketsout]

Hm.....and what happens if someone else tries to dock though? Like, I'm paste then.

[rocketmagnet]

I'll dodge. [ Okay no, but for real. ] If we're up high enough they won't be coming in towards us when they dock.

[rocketsout]

Yeah, but if you're too high I'm not going to have a head anymore!

[rocketmagnet]

I'll be careful. You need your head to put on the stars, after all.

[rocketsout]

I need my head to stay alive!

[rocketmagnet]

You won't lose it. Pinky swear. [ Pinky promise? ]

[rocketsout]

[Don't know if can trust....] Okay but it happens once and I'm not doing it again, okay?

[rocketmagnet]

I wouldn't think of asking again.

[rocketsout]

....let's get the stars and get your ship.

[rocketmagnet]

[ !!! She might be running towards the store now because this is the best news she's heard all day. ]

[rocketsout]

[This is most definitely going to get him killed. There is literally zero chance that this will not get him killed.

But if it works it's going to be awesome. Lead the way crazy hunter lady.]

[rocketmagnet]

[ When they reach the store, she buys more glow-in-the-dark stars than she knows what to do with. But it's fine, she'll think of things.

She doesn't go back to transmat until she has an armload of stars and is ready to attempt the best improvement the hangar will ever see. ]

[rocketsout]

[It's the spirit of the moment, he actually ends up with a few packets himself. Nevermind what he's even going to do with the things, it's just something that feels right at the moment. As does transmatting back to his ship so he can get it docked before they make an attempt.l]

[rocketmagnet]

[ She's waiting, docked and ready for him climb on top. She's sending a message to his HUD as she taps her fingers on the console. ]

u ready?

[rocketsout]

one sec

[He gets his ship docked well enough, it's just now a matter of sneaking past the shipwright and over to her ship. Climbing, however, is a whole different ordeal. It's hard. And takes a lot longer than he'd like to admit. Thankfully he still has the stars on him.]

do these things have tape or something how do they stick????

[rocketmagnet]

do u not have the goopy white stuff????

[rocketsout]

??????? ????? ? ?? ?? ????????

[rocketmagnet]

[rocketsout]

one sec, have to find a place to grip and get bubble up

[This is such a bad idea there aren't even words for it.]

go for it!!!
