"On the contrary lust... we will be flying to our destination." Rosaline said as she got the ship ready to set out. "Milo, show them around", she said as she checked on the crystals at the bases of the masts.
"Sure," Milo stepped aboard and headed for the steps that lead below deck, "follow me".

Samuel Flowen Sat Mar 20, 2010 11:07 pm

Samuel and Lust followed Milo. Both of them somewhat curious about the ship but they each had a different reason for the curiosity.

**Leon** Sun Mar 21, 2010 8:43 pm

Rosaline Looked over the maps a little before turning a few dials and starting up the ship.
Milo lead the way below deck. "this is the map room, please don't touch anything... because Rosaline might kill you if you do." he moved onto the sleeping quarters. He stopped to get his ritual book out of his pack.

Samuel Flowen Sun Mar 21, 2010 9:08 pm

Samuel recognized the book Milo was holding as a ritual book and wondered why he needed it out right now.

**Leon** Sun Mar 21, 2010 9:35 pm

"I doubt the trip will take that long but there's a couple bunks you could use if you wanted them" he lead them to another room "this is the Galley, feel free to fix yourself something, as long as you don't catch the ship afire." he pointed to a locked door. "That's Rosaline's room, I wouldn't be surprised if she has it rigged with some sort of booby trap."
There was a hum as the ship lifted smoothly out of the water. Rosaline backed the ship up and turned it around glancing at the compass. She slowly made the ship accelerate towards her destination.

Samuel Flowen Sun Mar 21, 2010 10:37 pm

"So long as we don't catch fire, huh?" Said Samuel as he moved past Milo into the Galley, "Well, let's see what we can make." As he began to rummage through compartments, he asked "Hey, Lust. What do you want to drink?"
"Oh, anything sweet will do." replied Lust. "Hey Milo, how many bunks are there, anyway?"

**Leon** Sun Mar 21, 2010 10:48 pm

"there's four" he said, for some reason he was a little worried about Samuel cooking. He flipped through his book while supervising.
Rosaline locked the boat onto it's course, and went below deck. She pulled the roses out from her lapel, the stems twisted together forming a key which she used to unlock the door to her room.

As he searched, Samuel listed verbally what ingredients he found. Afterwards, he said "I have enough ingredients to make some cupcakes and mix some cocktails. who's interested?"
Lust licked her lips a little. "I could sure go for some cupcakes." she mused.

**Leon** Tue Mar 23, 2010 11:22 pm

Milo leans up against the wall as he reviews a couple pages of his ritual books, the diagrams change slightly as he adjusts them with his mind.
Rosaline looks around her room at the several weapon racks around her room mentally selecting one for practice. her eyes focused on a pair of long swords she had purchased but hadn't got the chance to try out yet.

Samuel Flowen Wed Mar 24, 2010 11:32 pm

Samuel began to mix up drinks, then turned his head toward Milo. "Do you want anything, Milo?" It felt somewhat unusual for Samuel to be calling Milo by his name instead of calling him 'Kid', but he felt that calling him a kid to much may be a bad idea.

**Leon** Thu Mar 25, 2010 9:33 pm

"No thanks" Milo said. Milo preferred to serve himself or be served by a professional. He thought about watching Rosaline train on the deck, he had acsociated long enough to know how skilled she was with blades, and loved to watch that skill in action. He had practiced fencing with her and had learned allot from her
Rosaline made her way back onto the deck. She unshiethed the twin swords.

Samuel Flowen Thu Mar 25, 2010 11:22 pm

The look on Milo's face was enough for Samuel to guess what he was thinking of, for he had seen that look on people before. But he chose not to say or do anything until he was certain of the situation.
"Hey! Sammy? Are you listening?" Lust had apparently been talking to Samuel, though he failed to realize it.
"Huh? Oh sorry Lust, what were you saying?"
Lust looked a little ticked, but decided to let it slide this time. "Well, before you wondered off into dreamland, I was asking you what kind of drink you would make."
"Ah. heh, sorry about that." apologized Samuel. "how about a cocktail?"
Lust gasped, then slapped Samuel across the face.
As Samuel turned to face Lust again, he said "I said a cocktail. COCKTAIL!"
"Oh! I thought you meant..." Then Lust began to blush a little, "w-well, that's not important, is it? yeah, a cocktail will do."

Milo went back into his pack and pulled out a metal ingot and a few tools. He sat in the galley's corner and began to warm up the metal by focusing his energy into it, forcing it to become malleable in his hands and soft enough to be forced to his will. He lifted the metal into the air, the metal continued to heat and melt and the sharp angles of the ingot softened, until they faded away creating a sphere of molten metal which glowed a violent red.

**Leon** Fri Mar 26, 2010 9:24 pm

Rosaline set one of the swords down and tested the balance of one she still held in her hand. She gave it a few experimental swings before taking the other sword up in her other hand. Most people would have issues managing two long blades at a time, but she wielded the twin blades with grace.

Samuel Flowen Fri Mar 26, 2010 9:36 pm

As Samuel mixed two tequila sunrises, he glanced over to Milo, taking in interest in what he was doing. Samuel didn't know much about magic, just enough to know when it's involved, that it's destructive in the wrong hands, and that it's devastating when mistakes are made.

**Leon** Fri Mar 26, 2010 11:15 pm

Milo glanced to his ritual book and quickly flipped to his desired page while also focusing his mind on the sphere of searing hot metal. The page he left off on was a detailed design of a clockwork device. He divided up the metal, carefully controlling the volume of each piece, then shaping each molten piece of metal into a gear, axle or a part of framework.

Samuel Flowen Fri Mar 26, 2010 11:41 pm

"Here you go, Lust." Said Samuel as he finished making the tequila sunrises.
"Thank you, Sammy." said Lust as she took one of the drinks, then took a sip. "Hey. you're good at making drinks, you know that?"
"Well, thank you." Then Samuel picked up his drink. "Why do you keep calling me Sammy?"
"because i can. Why? You don't like it?"
"No it's just, I'm not used to it. That's all."
Lust took another sip. "Well, tough luck, Sammy."
"Alight." Then Samuel picked up his drink, went outside with it, and looked for a secluded place at the back of the ship.

**Leon** Sat Mar 27, 2010 8:09 pm

Rosaline noticed Samuel out of the corner of her eye as she went through defencive stances and practiced a few dexterous twists of the blade, and then began her offensive routine, she spun the blades around her body gracefully her arms directing the blades into powerful slashes.

**Leon** Sat Mar 27, 2010 11:48 pm

Milo assembled the clockwork device, it parts slid perfectly into place. He let it fall into his hand. He stood up and examined his work, the small device was still missing some key components but was otherwise complete. he tossed it lightly into his bag and went up to the main deck.

Samuel Flowen Sun Mar 28, 2010 10:43 pm

Lust thought about heading out with the rest, but thought it would be best to finish her drink. As she sipped her drink, she began to seriously think over what has happened so far. It was the first time sense she got to Ilia that she had time to look for a place to live. Up until now she had been staying at hotels, which while cheaper near the mines, were still fairly expensive. However, running into Samuel and having him kidnap her ruined her plans for today. While she was mad at him for that, she couldn't really stay mad at him, knowing that he only meant to protect her, which was romantic in a sappy way.
Lust took another sip. While she didn't really like things that were sappy, she still felt that maybe she should apologize for how she treated him thus far...and for the kick to the face now that she remembered it.
With one final gulp she put down her empty glass and went outside.

**Leon** Sun Mar 28, 2010 11:03 pm

Rosaline paused and looked to Milo. She turned the hilt of one of her long swords towards Milo, though Milo was not the best swordsman he could at least keep up with her. "Care for a little sparing?" she asked him.
Milo took the sword that Rosaline offered him, even though they were careful when they spared, there was always a little bloodshed, luckily he had brought some medical supplies with him. He slipped off his white leather coat and took a stance similar to the empty stance from martial arts (also called cat stance), with the blade in line with his front leg pointing diagonally to towards the ground.

Samuel Flowen Sun Mar 28, 2010 11:48 pm

Samuel was just about to come around the corner when he saw Milo and Rosaline about to spar. Seeing this as a chance to understand the two of them a little more, he decided to lean against the corner and watch not for who wins, but how they react.
Lust had as similar idea and decided to pretend to walk the other way from where Samuel was and go just around the corner before going against the wall and watching them.

**Leon** Mon Mar 29, 2010 9:21 pm

Rosaline made the first move, she brought the sword horizontally towards Milo, she turned the blade so that she was making the attack with the sword's flat.

**Leon** Mon Mar 29, 2010 9:24 pm

**Leon** Mon Mar 29, 2010 9:32 pm

Milo brought his sword up, blocking Rosaline's attack. He stepped backwards, then swung his sword forward, attacking with the flat of the blade.
