>Hum ride of the valkeryies as you drive.

[Yamtaggler]

>Hey, where are you going again?

[Norivia]

>Hey, where are you going again?



To Greenbell! It's a pretty big city, you guess. You're bringing Siobhan back to her home there. You imagine it'll take a few hours to get there from here.



FIERCE: Hey, where do you keep your tools? I gotta rig the new chain up.

ALEX: Oh, in the garage. There should be a red toolbox on the shelf.


FIERCE: Alright, thanks.



And so begins a long, boring sail through the wondrous, limitless sky...



Uh. What.



You hope Fierce knows what he's doing...

So hey guys we're switching to 640 x 480.

[Ed]

> Arrive

[Yamtaggler]

>Send Siobhan back to make sure he knows what he's doing. He's pretty cool, but mayhaps he needs a sidekick from the opposite side of the age spectrum.

[Aryogaton]

>Explain daydreams.

[Dentrala]

Go find/call out for Siobhan and ask her whereabouts on greenbell she lives.

[Norivia]

>Explain daydreams



Uuuuurgh. Daydreams. They're what you do when you're bored and you need an escape from the boring thing you're doing. Like driving for hours on end in the slowest ship in existance. The. Slowest. URGH.

... You decide to take a quick break to check up on Siobhan and see what Fierce was doing.

>Go find/call out for Siobhan and ask her whereabouts on greenbell she lives.



SIOBHAN: Hi. How long until we get there?

ALEX: I'm not sure exactly. Probably another couple hours. Oh! Hey, when we get there... what house should I be looking for?

SIOBHAN: Uh, it's way up high... It's on a hill... and it's in the east part.

ALEX: Thanks! I'll remember that.

Off to find Fierce.



FIERCE: I rigged up the spool so that it was right by yer Pod. Y'shouldn' have any trouble anchoring this thing.

ALEX: Uh. Thanks.

FIERCE: Hey, aren't you supposed to be piloting this thing?

ALEX: Err... Yeah.

You return to the wheel.

>Arrive



Hours later, Greenbell.

Happy Halloween-ish!

[Neoskel]

> Exposition on what you know about the green crystals pl0x.

Also head for the hill. It seems like Siobhan's folks aren't there though what with the houses there being the only ones unlit in the entire place. Be mentally prepared to find destruction.

[Superfrequency]

SO THAT'S WHY YOU COULD ONLY DRAW SILLY THINGS FOR BEE YESTERDAY

gog damn, Norivia, if you hadn't won Best Setting once already I'd probably have to nominate you again
Skylands are awesome.

[Not The Author]

Ask Sio if they have their own private landing zone. You don't really want to have to trek through the entire city with multiple chances of losing each other before you arrive.

Exposit: city at large, Green Rocks, castle.

[Dentrala]

Demand sufficient payment from Siobhan. I mean come on, flying your house around everywhere doesn't come cheap.
You can always hold her ransom to get her parents to pay if she isn't coughing up.

[Norivia]

>Exposit: city at large, Green Rocks, castle.



Greenbell is just a city. It's fairly decently sized. You imagine the islands were tethered together as the city grew, for convenience's sake. It's pretty common, honestly. All the rich folks live near the top of greenbell, of course.
The only thing you know about the castle is that nobody lives there anymore. It was turned into a museum, or something.
Now, the crystals... They make the islands float. You don't know how or why.

>Proceed to eastern hill with no regard for docking regulations.



You anchor your ship and get picked up by Fierce. You then fly to Siobhan's house in a perfectly legal manner.

Fierce is still a police officer.

[Drillgorg]

Knock on the front door.

[Neoskel]

Ask Siobhan about any less obvious entrances.

[thegreenspark]

> Ask her why her house so big.

[JBrooskidome]

Big house= rich! You may benefit greatly from this! At least take some of the curtains.

[tagonizer]

> Survey the area for anything out of the ordinary.

[Ed]

> Siobhan: frolic your way to the front door.
