Author Topic: Our Dusty Old Guns - Back to Basics [War's a brewin']  (Read 8495 times)

The sounds of waves and the bellowing of seagulls are heard as the warship sails through the sea. Men converse and walk to where they're needed as few stay at their stations. Deep within the ship, within the mess hall resides crewmen, captains, and soldiers alike. However a certain heavy armed group had the most interesting conversation. "No no, Gunnery Sergeant Hawking is the cutest woman on here." "Are you kidding? Like I told you it's Captain Cortez that's the cutest!" "You guys are stupid... It's obviously Corporal Crawford who's cutest." "What do you think, Sylvester?" a voice happily shouts out to across the table, "What?" is shouted back, "Who's the cutest girl on the ship?" Ser Sylvester Rosney sighs from across the table, rubbing his forehead, "I've got a wife back home I can't think about this!" he shouts. "Ah, you're no fun!" is replied to him as the men from across the table continue to laugh as they argue over their childish debate. Ser Sylvester Rosney stands from his seat at the table as he had finished eating the usual crap they had on the ship before taking it over and sliding the plates into what looked like a sink and placed his tray on the pile located under, "Used". He walked back over to his previous seat, sliding on his helmet before grabbing his his Shoulder Mounted Crank Minigun and heading up to the deck to look out to sea.

I myself didn't want to sit around with a big net or a fishing rod, so I took the liberty to learn the controls if I was put in charge of them again, which I probably would be. I managed to figure out which levers decreased the coordinates, which levers changed North between South and East between West, and which levers made the ship go and stop. When I had woken up with everyone else this morning, we just turned on the ship and let it sail in the direction it was going when I had shut it off. The ship was off now so nobody would be disturbed while they were catching tonight's dinner and the remainder of our paycheck. I decided to climb up to the observation platform to get some air. I pulled out my mini-telescope to examine the area for better fishing spots. "See any other ships up there?" somebody yelled up at me before laughing to himself. These coordinates were supposed to be unused by any other ships, so we should be alone today. After looking a bit to my left, I was devastated. I saw another ship. I rushed down to check the coordinates again. I never set them back to normal after messing with them last night. I rushed back up to check the ship again. It looked like a ship hauling adrenaline junkies. Those were the people I wanted to get away from, that's why I got on this boat in the first place! "BOAT! INCOMING! SEVEN O'CLOCK!" I shouted. Everyone jumped away from their fishing equipment and ran to look at the ship. "Great, it's probably a Northern war vessel!" somebody yelled. "The coordinates are unused by all other Southern ships, the odds of it being friendly are low!" another person shouted. This wasn't going to be fun.

Ser Sylvester Rosney notices a ship, what looks like a fishing ship... About to get crushed by ours. He yells up to some of the personnel on the higher decks, "Hey! There's a ship that looks like it's gonna get in the way of ours!" A woman looks over the ship before shouting back down, "Who is it?" Sylvester shouts back up, "I don't know... Hopefully south...". I wait a small moment as we proceed forwards, "Is it on our frequency?" The woman shouts, "Hold on!" as she walks off towards the comm room. I wait for a moment before she comes back, "No, their not." I shout back up, "Well alert the Captain to honk the horn if they don't move or y'know go around." The woman nods walking off to the captain place. I wait for atleast ten minutes before she returns, "Uh... Captain is going to move around." I shout up, "What?" "She's not going around the ship." "Is she going to honk the horn?" "Yeah but...". Sylvester sighs as he watch's his ship come closer and closer to their stationary one. This might get messy.

"Do you think it sees us?" I shout down to the group. "No, it's not stopping!" somebody shouts back. "Well that can't be good." I respond. There was a loud honking noise, a warning for us to move. "GET THIS SHIP INTO HIGH GEAR!" I shouted as I dove back into the control room. I quickly punched in coordinates to get us moving forward. "SOMEBODY GET THE ENGINE RUNNING!" I shouted. "THERE'S NO TIME! ABANDON SHIP!" a man shouted to me before running for a life raft. He was right, it would take too much time to get the engine going. I looked back to see nothing but large and dangerous ship ahead of us. I sprinted out of the room and took the plunge into the cold water below. The sounds of the ship getting torn apart made me want to go deaf. A swam over to the rest of the group to look up at the vessel that had ripped our ship apart. "Are they going to leave us here?" somebody asked. "How should I know? We should probably get swimming now." somebody responded. "Land is miles away! We're going to die out here!" somebody yelled. "WOULD YOU ALL SHUT YOUR TRAPS?!" I yelled back at them, silencing all the banter.

I look down at the scatters souls as their ship is torn to pieces before realizing their southern, "Stop the loving ship!" I shout up, a man demands, "Why?" "They're loving southerners!" I scream back up as the man turns pale and rushes to the captains place. After a minute the vessel begins to come to a halt. Several recovery boats are sent to recovery as many survivors as they can. Sylvester quickly climbs into one of these recovery rafts as others climb in to assist before two men pull levers, as what looks like a type of slide extends outwards in which the recovery boat slides down, descending to the water before retracting as we head towards several survivors, the men extend their arms out to help men get onto the recovery boat before sylvester extends his hand out to Maxwell, "Come on, lets go!" before alarms on the military vessel begin to sound as a armed blimp wearing a black, torn flag is seen approaching the ship.

I climb up onto the recovery boat, looking up at the blimp as I do so. "Great, what else can go wrong today?"

I climb up onto the recovery boat, looking up at the blimp as I do so. "Great, what else can go wrong today?"

"I change my mind and I throw you into the water." I say gritting my teeth as I load in a cartridge into my Shoulder Mounted Gatling Gun, afterwards fastening the gas mask over my face.

"I'm sorry for that comment, but seriously! First my ship gets torn apart, then I get hauled onto this... pleasure cruise I don't even know what it is, and now THAT!"

As we get everyone onto the recovery ship we begin to make our way back over to the military vessel, "These Skirates will skin you alive, so you've get shush before I hand you over to them." looks to the Airship preparing its weapons, "And I mean literally skin you alive." As we dock and stuff Ser Sylvester gets off turning back to talk, "Lets go before we get out asses kicked by stinky ass Skirates!"

I look up at the airship. "Let's kick it into high gear!" I shout. "Anything you need me to do to speed up the process?" I shout, waiting for an answer.

I look back before shouting, "Stay out of the way!" before walking off, towards the upper deck anti-airship cannon.

No thank you.
*Says I was holding a grudge since September.*

*Does the same.*

*Says I was holding a grudge since September.*

*Does the same.*

I'm not holding a grudge and I never said that.

Why are you so loving low-tech when you came from the North and if you were exiled you'd be undoubtedly stripped of all your belongings. And you wouldn't get away with military issue stuff either. Exiled would also mean the populace would have forced you out meaning you wouldn't had snuck off, broke into some random ass military base took a loving bow they sure as hell wouldn't make and got off with their attire.
