"We should actually examine the ship first, before we collect any crystal-specimen." he said to Murs.

"Without the right spell or runic translation that crystal wont do you any good." Julien noted as he gestured towards the crystal in Mur's bag.

[Muffins?]

"The customer doesn't need to know that" he smirked and began to bend down for another.

"If it glows it sells, the basics of marketing. I thought all rich boys took that class." he snorted and found another piece that would fit in his bag, with a swift kick the small shard of the larger crystal flew off and he picked it up.

[ForgottenBushido]

Julien quickly drew his sword and slapped Murs hand making him drop whatever he had picked up.

"The more you remove from the mother crystal, the weaker it gets!"

"Recoil to whatever corner of the room you like to lurk and stay your hand, or I'll cut it off! he shouted.

[Muffins?]

As soon as the 'Elite' Inquisitor drew his blade Murs hand flashed back and drew his blade. He reached out with his foot and dragged the crystal back to him.

"Ohoho~ You think you can threaten me? You can't remove my hand if you have none of your own" he let his other hand reach into his belt bag for one of his various powders. The one he was reaching for was quite a powerful poison, although it couldn't kill you with a little if it got into your eyes you'd be blind the rest of your life.

"One wee little airship can handle a few crystals missin mr 'Elite'" Murs then took it upon himself to spit on the boots of pretty boy.

Balian turned to the stand-off between the thief and the noble. "Whoa, whoa, guys..." He approached them, hands up in a placating gesture. "Murs, Julien is right. We don't know what'll happen if we remove any of the crystals." He turned towards the main crystal and tubes. "Although, these pipes seemed to be pumping miasma at the crystals for a long time. It's possible that it's a bit overcharged right now. Weakening the crystal a bit may prevent us from causing an explosion if we start the ship, but it'll eventually need the smaller crystals back...."

He looked at the crystals littering the whole room. "Maybe we should take down a few, there IS an overabundance of the stuff all over."

[ForgottenBushido]

Julien stood there holding his blade out, pointed at Murs, ready to strike. But he knew the fight wouldn't go well for either of them if he decided to attack.

"You best know your place knave, and respect your betters."

He then lowered his weapon and sheathed with style.

"Killing you now does no one any good. Be sure to stay out of my way."

Skadi groans. "Dear god, you two are just like children." She eyes Julien and Murs for a moment. "Destabilizing this area any further would be a bad idea. I'm sure you're familiar with those." The thief gives a frustrated sigh and turns away, studying the chamber.

"We should probably find the damn ship before we worry about loot." Moving past the two idiots, she makes a passing comment. "So Murs, stop being an ass, and Julien? Don't use brandish those swords unless you plan to use them."

Okay, so she might be a bit miffed. Her arm still hurt like a bitch, and she was out of potions..

As Zerva walked he let his scythe drag across the ground, hearing yelling behind him he completely ignored it focusing on finding things to help out on the journey.

finding a table with papers on it and a lone chair he sat down and picked up one of the blueprints.

"Damn thing might be hard to fly." slamming the paper onto the table he turned to notice a sword laying in the corner. Standing up he slowly walked over to the sword picking it up he noticed it had the same designs as the sword his sister had.

"No....no....impossible she couldnt have ever been down here." He said allowed.

[Muffins?]

"Don't worry Mr.Inquisitor you won't have time to follow up on that threat. You're first on my list now" Murs spat before he picked up his glowing crystal and put it in his bag. Feeling his blood boil he knew he couldn't murder the inquisitor in front of all his goodie twoshoe friends but the urge to do so was overwhelming. He sheathed his blade and spat at where the inquisitor once stood again.

"Just wait till we're alone" he muttered under his breathe.

"Hah!" He was really impressed with the girl. Though he couldn't help but feel a shiver up his spine. He looked at the two, contrasting figures. He would have to keep an eye on the two from now on. For now, seeing that the danger has passed, he followed Skadi and whispered to her.

"You seem to have sharp eyes. We're gonna have to keep an eye out on the two from now on. Murs ain't exactly trustworthy to begin with, and I'm afraid those two'll start something."

[Yoko]

Skadi rolls one shoulder back and winces. "Julien's nice enough when he meets new people, but his temper has never been anything but short..." With a controlled sigh, she tries to will away a coming headache. "Murs is an asshole, and I haven't trusted him since he walked into the pub. And it's not just his personality."

She gives him a sideways look. While Skadi had been friends with Julien from a young age, she figured he was a big boy, and could take care of himself...

"Guess there's nothing more we can really do but seperate them." Another sigh. "Like five year-olds."

"Nothin' like two contrasting, explosive personalities to threaten this oh-so skilled adventure party." He facepalmed, "I gotta tell ya this one time I once had a former elf soldier and former human soldier in the same party during a bandit raid years ago. Oh, god, I was so close to sticking my lance up where the sun don't shine." He continued walking. "Now, where's the damn control room for this ship. I'm getting tired of these damn catacombs." He looked around for stairs, corridors, anything. "Hell, are we even IN the ship? I think I've lost my sense of direction after getting thrown through walls and running back and forth through the identical, rocky hallways." He put his arms on his hips.

Leaning the crystal up against its pillar Twill noticed she no longer heard the others voices over the hissing and humming noises the pipes made. Jerking her head up, she looked around and found herself alone. Noticing a door towards the north end of the room, she decided to try it, hoping to find the others nearby. There was a long, metal hallway and more sets of doors. Pushing through these as well, she was blasted with cold wind as she emerged out into fresh air.

She was in a gigantic cavern that led out into the open air, and standing on metal levels built against the rock walls. Across from her was a nearly identical multilevel unit, with a high bridge connecting them together.

Leaning as far as she could against the metal grated railing that separated her from a fall that would mean certain death, she gazed up to top of the building. On her side of the wall seemed to be an extra level that stood as the highest point.

“Could that be…the control room?” she wondered aloud, her words meeting nothing but eerie silence.

Somehow, standing out in the open made her nervous, as if someone was watching her movements. Really, everything about the abandoned docking station was a little strange; the fact that it still ran even though its crystals should have long been depleted, for one. The fact they had to go through a horde of undead to get there. As it was, she was loathe to stay out there alone, so she decided to find her way up.

Twill ran along her balcony, her feet tapping against the metal grating as she searched for a way up. When she found stairs, she climbed them, up the multiple levels until she could go no higher. There stood a door, a round circular window cast into it. Pressing her head close, she tried to peer inside, but found nothing but darkness.

Turning the handle, she found the door unlocked, so she pushed to open it. Something seemed to be blocking the way as the door budged slightly and then met something solid. Twill moved away, tucked her shoulder down, and gave a hard shove.

Zerva held the sword tight placing his scythe on his back he turned around and walked.

Seeing Balian he ran over looking around not seeing the other's.

"Where'd everyone go boss? We find the airship yet?" He asked kinda confused.

Balian stretched his arms out on his sides, "I don't even know!" He exclaimed in confusion and frustration. "We're walking on this weird hallway in Celestia knows where!" He ran a hand through his hair, lamenting their lack of progress. "And...well, Skadi's next to me." He pointed to the girl next to him. "Julien and Murs are, hopefully not killing each other in the room behind us, dunno where the teleporting Moogle is, and...weren't you with the girl? Twill?"

[Yoko]

Skadi waves at Zerva with her good hand, reminding him that in fact, she is still there. Then she pulls out the palm-sized crystal out of her pocket, glowing with a pulsing blue light.

"We're close, at the very least..."

"Oh thank whatever deities out there, you have some kind of magical compass." He was about to kneel and worship this awesome girl that had decided to grace his meaningless life, well, not really. "But, and I'm about to jinx us, nothing's clawed at us, spit acid, thrown rocks, or generally hissed at us." He sighed in resignation, "I'm willing to bet that when we get there, we're gonna fight something most heinous, like an evil boss guy or zombie overlord..... Stupid traps."

[Fyuria'sLeo]

"Boss I swear if that happens i'm blaming it on you." Said a smirking Zerva.

Waving at Skadi he looked at the compass that glowed.

"Where'd you pick that up?" He asked.

[Yoko]

"Oh, back when you were all fighting zombies, I saw a very shiny chest. It was triple-locked! Had this, and some other... Interesting items."

Skadi grins. "Y'know, occupational things. See shiny box, must break into it."

She walks further into the chamber, or wherever they are, there's no map in existence for this place. It wasn't really detailed, the one Julien found. "Anyway, let's see what we can find."

He snorted, "Thieves...." He patted his pockets discreetly just the same. "So, we getting close? I've been getting bad vibes all over the place. Something doesn't feel... right." He gripped his lance tighter, anticipation creeping at him.

As if responding to its owner's emotions, the lance began gathering wind throughout the entire weapon, ready for a blast.

Balian looked around warily as he walked on. "Why the sudden feeling?"
