Most "new places" Keldor explored were not airships, but things like ancient ruins. This is technology, not sorcery, and thus is outside his area of expertise. That doesn't mean the book quest won't lead him to inspect the rest of the place [apparently airship passengers aren't the type to bring books—or rather, books with anything useful in them—along to read. I mean, who reads this dreck anyways? Um].

In other words, don't worry. He's exploring. Indirectly.

[lightningbearer]

So a head full of arcane, rather than a more... practical, if mercenary mindset. Got it.

For his part, Geddoe's taking a more pragmatic approach of thoroughly looking over each room before moving on. There isn't anything in particular he's looking for, so much as keeping an eye out for anything of interest. Not that there's a lot of it here, to be honest. (Though those books admittedly remind him of the kind of stuff one of his teammates back home reads. And attempts to write.)

Still, there's only so much fruitless poking around one can do before needing a break from it.

"Find anything?"

[behindblueskin]

So long as he knows where his strengths lie and where they don't. A good leader does and thus knows when to let others who are more learned about something take charge.

"I have, much to my displeasure, discovered what passes for 'acceptable literature' amongst those who utilise this vessel."

Honestly. How do some people even get published?

"But the food and drink here is passable. Perhaps even rather decent."

Not exactly akin to the sort of fare he would've eaten in Eternos as a prince, but would be deemed "haute cuisine" on the Sleeping Bag Tour of Eternia.

In other words, the potato chips they serve here aren't really that bad.

[lightningbearer]

Potato chips are never really a bad thing. Go great with a beer, too.

"No luck finding a way down?"

The closest Geddoe's found is a hatch that leads to the exterior of the airship. Which isn't terribly useful with as high up as it currently is.

[behindblueskin]

Again, potato chips aren't something Keldor would've eaten back at the palace, but compared to the "this shit might poison you" fare that's part of foraging for sustenance, it's pretty good.

"There may be a way down, but I would not want to chance some of those doors that appear to lead outside."

Sure, they could lead to something safe and on the ground, but that's just a little bit teensy extremely dangerous.

[lightningbearer]

"Hmmm..."

Let him think about the whole situation a moment. Obviously he's not keen on being stuck up on an airship more than anyone else, but neither does he want to test the theory that otherworlders can't really die here.

"Worst case, we can wait things out here. I'm guessing if we're still stuck up here when things go back to normal, we'll just end up somewhere on the ground."

[behindblueskin]

"I would prefer to not be 'stuck up here' if I can help it."

He really doesn't want to spend an entire weekend in an airship with nothing to do but read bad literature and get fat from eating chips.

"You say that a door could lead anywhere; not just to the location it was meant to go to. Perhaps there is a room that the passengers do not have access to. A room dedicated to storage somewhere on this vessel, perhaps. A room. With a door?"

Hey. Why not? It's better—and safer—than testing the doors that lead outside.

[OOC: Am so sorry. Distractions, bad memory and poor time awareness on my part. Oof.]

holidays amirite?

[lightningbearer]

There's always passing the time with a nap. Or quietly contemplating the view from a window. Ideally with an alcoholic beverage, though tea or something could work in a pinch.

"So you wanna keep looking?"

Geddoe doesn't really care all that much at this point. But if there does turn out to be a way off this airship, well, he'd be interested in taking it.

ADHD amirite... +_+

[behindblueskin]

"I believe it prudent to keep looking."

Pause.

"But perhaps after a respite?"

He's not physically tired, but a part of him is beginning to feel a bit worn out. If there's more strangeness to be experienced, he'd like to experience it after a rest.





...maybe with a beer to go along with it.

[lightningbearer]

"Think I saw a room that looked like some kind of lounge."

Well actually, it's a cafe, but Geddoe didn't look too closely just yet. He'd definitely agree with having a beer, though, if there's any to be found.

[behindblueskin]

Lounge or cafe, it'll be something Keldor's not familiar enough with yet to know the difference.

"Then I shall follow your lead if you know where it is."

And have a sit, have a chip and a bottle of booze.

[lightningbearer]

"Sure."

And without another word on the matter Geddoe turns to retrace his steps as best he can remember, finally pausing in front of one of the doors. "Pretty sure it was this one..."

[behindblueskin]

"You are certain?"

About as certain as any person can be on an airship during a weekend like this.

Wait.

It's a door.

That could mean...

"Can we be certain that what we mean to find is even on the other side of this door?"

Hey you're catching on!

"And if not, then perhaps this is the one that will lead us off of this vessel, since that is what we meant to find anyways."

His hand's on the handle.

Better hope it doesn't open up to something underwater...

[lightningbearer]

"As sure as I can be with how all these doors look alike."

Oh, he has no doubt they're easy to tell apart if one's used to the place, but they haven't exactly had time for that. But as for the rest of it...

"Guess you'll have to try it and see."
