Ritsu "That sounds fine. Really, anything that works optimally would be an improvement over this mess. Most of the internal mechanisms are basically worthless, and there are surely better magic-based engines than this. To be honest, I have several questions about the prior owners and people who did maintenance on this place. Something like this would not do in my profession," Ritsu sighs, thinking of the work that she will likely come back to when she finally gets back home.

Ritsu Having finished up a scan, Ritsu's attention is grabbed by the noise from another. Ritsu looks towards the individual in question and sees that they are working on something from what looks to be the cannon barrel that fell earlier. "All things considered, I'm glad that cannon barrel ended up being useful for something. Incidentally, what are you working on if I may ask," Ritsu inquired.

Ritsu "Very well. Hopefully these engines aren't as bad as the cannons were," Ritsu remarks before teleporting into the inner area of the engineering bay, where the engines and a few others were. She waved at the other occupants in the bay before doing a scan of the engine structure. With it she could hopefully see how the engines are currently structured, along with how its power is obtained and used. It would also let her know of the quality of the engine parts, since if they were in such disrepair as the earlier cannons, full replacement may be a better option than trying to fix it.

Ritsu "I see. If it could help, I could scan the engines for its structure and produce a working schematic. Though given the conditions of the cannons on the roof, I fear that the engines may also be in similar disrepair. Nevertheless, if you need any assistance, feel free to ask," Ritsu replied. Leaving in the middle of a job wasn't something she condoned, though given the strange nature of this place and their inhabitants, perhaps he got caught up in something else.

Eon "I don't mind much all things considered. Besides, it won't hinder me in any way, and you might get a bit more comfortable sleep," Eon states, affirming that he is fine with the decision. He then decides to respond to Lexiel's concerns, seeing as how they are still present. "Don't worry Lexiel, I'll make sure that any dragons that come around don't bother anyone too much," he affirms, grinning a fair bit as well. Seems like she can't quite see through that halo of hers, Eon thinks to himself briefly.

Ritsu "Teleportation," Ritsu stated as if it were obvious. "Though I half expected to wind up in the actual area with the engines instead of an office. I suppose that's what I get for not focusing on the end destination as much," Ritsu sighed before looking at some of the diagrams present. "Are those diagrams of the engines here?"

Eon "I suppose so," Eon remarks, looking around the ballroom and seeing nothing that would constitute proper bedding. With that in mind, Eon goes a bit lower to the ground, some of the length of his tail besides Hiroki. "I'm not sure if you'll accept the offer, but I may serve as better resting material than a stone floor," Eon offers. As he offers this he also notices that Lexiel has come by the ballroom as well, and gives a quick hello. He then hears Halley's declaration. "Hmm, I don't require food personally, but thanks for the offer."

Ritsu Having heard Cid's announcement, Ritsu decided that the roof was not a very good place to stay. With that, she went over and grabbed her chainsaw from where she left it. She never felt very comfortable without it nearby. With that, she tried to remember what she knew of the castle area. After a bit of thought, she decided that the engine areas would be someplace she could stay and make herself busy. With that, she teleports into the Engineering Bay. Rather than being in the main engine room however, she instead ended up into one of the office segments. One that was, apparently, not empty. "O-oh. Hello there," she says to the stranger.

Eon Having heard Cid's message, Eon decided to take himself to the ballroom. He could stay in some of the smaller rooms if completely necessary, but he preferred the open space. Reminded him of his space trips where he went around wherever he pleased. Getting there, he noticed Hiroki underneath the tables. "That doesn't seem all that comfortable to me. Are you fine trying to rest under there?" he decided to ask.

As Karik throws his hatchet towards the archer, its the return trip of it that actually hits the man. Though the blow itself didn't do much damage, combined with the earlier injuries from the dark magic, the archer was struck forward into the water, where he then was sent towards Karik. The axeman retrieves the archer and relieves him of his longbow, noting that the archer is still alive, albeit very battered. Cheat Sheet:

Darius managed to blast the archer in the center of the bridge with his dark magic, wounding him greatly. In response, the archer fired off a shot, which managed to hit Darius, wounding him a fair bit. Cheat Sheet:

Eon [Outside the Castle] Eon regarded the newcomer with a look of curiosity, noting that it was one of the newcomers Cid had most recently found. "I am Eon, and I suppose I share the sentiment. As strange as this whole situation is, it at least gives me a good chance to study other worlds. Its been a few centuries since I last felt motivated," he replied, bringing out his journal and making a few notes.

Rayne flies over and throws one javelin, followed by another almost immediately after. The soldier, while staggered slightly, still manages to aim their own spear, striking Rayne. In retaliation, Rayne throws one more javelin, this one also connecting with the soldier defending the river.

Rayne tries to retaliate once more, but only one of the two javelins tossed hit their mark.

Ritsu "That was...surprising. Don't worry though, this seems to be less of your fault, and more of the cannon's condition. The fact that they didn't disintegrate during this process was a feat in of itself," Ritsu consoled the man. "At least now we can see how much of the cannons are salvageable, and how much needs to be scrapped and replaced."

Eon "I'm afraid so. Seems like most of us here were dropped off here out of nowhere. Some man came by earlier and mentioned that we were gathered to deal with a particular threat that spans across a few different worlds," Eon informed the girl, who clearly was not pleased at the current situation. "Of course, there's no Cinna here, but perhaps one of the worlds we'll go to might have the person you're looking for. Of course, that's just a guess on my part and there's no guarantee we'll get to said world, but its something I suppose," Eon mentioned, hoping she might calm down slightly.

Eon [Outside the Castle] With the man who apparently brought us here leaving, most of the others decided to go about their business. One such person Eon noticed was some fairy-like individual who was looking for...Cinna? Eon opened his journal and checked names, but he found no such person present. "Excuse me miss, but I'm afraid that within this group there isn't anyone who is named or goes by Cinna. So if you're looking for them, you are definitely in the wrong place," Eon informed the woman, closing his book.

Ritsu "If you're able to, then by all means. These cannons are next to worthless in their current condition. Any work on them would be an improvement," Ritsu replied, giving him the go ahead to clear the rust from the cannons.

Ritsu "In that case, I believe I can procure some of the dimensions and schematics of the cannons. One moment please," Ritsu states as she spends a moment staring at the cannon. After a few seconds, the gauntlet on her left arm opens up and prints out blueprints of the cannon that had just been scanned. She lowers her chainsaw down to the ground so she can remove the blueprints and hand them over to the man. "This should be sufficient. Also, I don't believe I've introduced myself. I am Ritsu Tomogi, but Ritsu is fine for addressing me," she remarks, handing over the blueprints.

Ritsu "Well, I guess whatever you were doing worked out," Ritsu remarked, looking at the bottle with...some creature inside of it. She also wasn't particularly sure of what problems this thing caused to the group earlier, but she assumed they were dealt with. "As for assistance, these cannons could use quite a lot of work. The mechanisms inside are of dubious quality, and replacement parts will likely be needed to make these remotely workable," Ritsu told the man.

Ritsu [On rooftop] "Is that right? Hopefully whatever they're doing doesn't affect any of the ammo in these cannons," Ritsu notes, having scanned the cannons for their contents and conditions. The rounds themselves were all 420mm battleship rounds, though the mechanisms for firing were...questionable at best. Ritsu could possibly fix it given enough time and materials, but it seemed that other things were going on. Including the person besides her. "Ritsu Tomogi is my name incidentally. As for the group over there...exactly what are they doing?" Ritsu asks, her tail also forming a question mark.

Ritsu Seeing that most of the people have exited the forge, Ritsu decided to stroll around the castle for a bit. It sort of reminded her of the mansion that she and the other maids worked in, though without nearly as many additional features...or traps. Ritsu sighed slightly remembering the experience of having to deal with the randomly placed traps all throughout that mansion. After a bit of time, she found her way to the rooftop, where she saw some of the people from the forge working on...something. It occured to her that she never quite introduced herself or found out who half of the people here were, but her attentions were quickly swapped to the cannons present. "My word these things haven't been used in ages. Here's hoping they're at least somewhat salvageable," Ritsu remarks before examining the cannons with her own sensors. She figured that if she could see the state of the internal parts, she could work to getting them fixed. The sensors would also detect if anything were present within the cannons, in case the prior users never bothered to empty them out.

Ritsu "Most of my experience with spider silk usually results more in clothing or bedding for the mansion I looked over. A vest is possible, but more materials may be needed for it to be bulletproof I would think," Ritsu responded to Solomon, her tail swaying lazily as she observes the individuals present.

Ritsu "I suppose I'll join you all as well," Ritsu remarked, mostly trying to check if the castle would be a decent base of operations. She wasn't quite accustomed to the new area, but she decided that she could probably deal with it.

Eon "Well, nice to see that you've grown comfortable enough with us, for the most part," Eon remarked, amused at all the current developments. His attention was then drawn over to the gummi boosters that Cid appeared to have brought with him. "So then, this will be how we get around? I suppose it will do," Eon muses. It's not quite as natural as him simply gliding through space, but a castle tank that could go between worlds was novel enough to warrant a go.

Eon "She? Was there someone else who should have been here with us?" Eon inquired, catching the detail and noting that there has not been another person who had mentioned these "Trespassers".
