[Console: Video] [Subject: Moving the Turtle Part II]

[purered]

I regret to inform you all that it seems Miss Lazuli has returned to her world.

For those who were her friends, I am deeply sorry.

[There's a moment where he shifts, eyes flicking downwards, but he's back to his usual attentive self in a moment.]

This may make things with the upcoming move tricky - while I'm informed that the tidal surge will be more than enough to dislodge Tu Vishan, Miss Lazuli was one of our primary movers.

I would ask then for anyone who has control of the elements of wind or water to lend your aid in keeping the turtle as steady as possible. I would also ask for help in ensuring buildings are structurally secure. We suffered some minor issues during the primary move, and while I don't foresee disaster, it is better to be safe than sorry.

When the time comes for landfall, any aid in anchoring would also be much appreciated.

But... magic's not really working...

That will likely not be the case when we break free of this fog. I know it may take time to return, but whatever power that can be mustered without causing injury to oneself would be very helpful.

[He puts a hard emphasis on people not hurting themselves for this because Casey seems the type and oh boy he's looking at you too Duke.]

[dragonaught]

[ Casey tries to look offended, but it's probably true. The thought of breaking free from this fog and everything it's brought with it does make them a little desperate. ]

Okay. I think... I can still do a little, but it isn't much at all like this.

[edgeoftheknife]

She's gone?

[purered]

I believe so. She didn't show up at the shop and I couldn't find her where she said she usually hides.

It's possible she found another spot, but it's strange she'd go so long without contact.

[edgeoftheknife]

That... that's too bad.

[There's a long pause; Erskine looks down, away from the camera, obviously struck by the loss.]

I didn't help much with the first leg of the move. If we can break free of the fog, though, I'll do what I can.

[redlightgreenlight]

That is indeed some troubling news.

[Her voice is soft, she hadn't known Lapis well, but it seemed that far too many foreigners were disappearing as of late.]

I'm afraid that none of my abilities will be helpful in moving or anchoring Tu Vishan, but once we make landfall, I should be able to help with scouting the land.

[purered]

For many reasons. I hope she is safe wherever she is.

[There's a small, brief nod.]

It would be much appreciated. I'll be setting out as well once I'm sure everything is in hand in Keeliai.

[redlightgreenlight]

We should send parties of at least two, after all, we have no idea what might be waiting for us.

The fog is messing with everything, but I might be able to make a field spell work.

[purered]

I;'m afraid I'm not familiar with what a field spell is. Could you please explain?

Re: audio;

[denyamenti]

It's a Spell that affects a large area; there are a few sea-based ones. Although how they'll work when being applied to an actual ocean, I don't know.

It might be better to try it beforehand.

[ Bakura did, after all, partly blow up the dojo trying to make a Spell card do something it didn't mean to do. ]

[wolfstrike]

Lapis is gone, huh? Man. At least she's back where she belongs.

[Though Yuri will probably miss her a little bit.]

[purered]

...This is true. Whereever her home is, I hope she is safe and happy.

[Oh Klaus, you sweet summer child.]

I regret to admit that, as of currently, I am unable to perform at my maximum capacity because of the continued presence of this fog.

However, so long as I remain indoors for no less than 86.9 percent of my daily activities, it can no longer cause sufficient damage to my systems, and I might be of use.

[The problem, of course, is the whole having to remain indoors part. For Aya, it was even worse than most residents; this was more than just her abilities not working. She was alive, but she was still a highly advanced piece of biotechnology; she literally could not function.]

[video]

[purered]

Whatever you can manage would be appreciated. We would have to time things according to your needs, but that shouldn't be difficult.

[video]

[looksfine]

Overseeing any remote operations through coordinated communication is not outside the realm of my abilities at this point.

Beyond that, I am still fully capable of performing any necessary complications at any time.

[Trying to offer more than ideas that would require others to work around her.]

[12goingon113]

....oh. Okay. That's...okay. it's okay.

[That last one might have been more for his benefit than anyone elses.]

Thank you for letting me know. And...I'll help anyway I can.

[purered]

[He heard that last one, Aang. Have that concerned look.]

Were you also her friend, Aang?

[Talk of the turtle can wait.]

[lasergrenades]

I'm sorry, Klaus. I didn't know her very well, but it seemed like you two got along.

[She offers a sympathetic smile before moving to the business part of the discussion.]

The fog is messing with my armor, but I might be able to fly up long enough to get out of it during the move. Then I'll be good to go on the communications end.

[purered]

We did. At least for my part. [And she didn't seem terribly averse to his company so.]

I would ask you be careful flying if there's the potential for your armour to become damaged or stop working mid-flight.

[inkulcation]

[Thoughtfully; as though she is still considering.]

It's possible I can assist with anchoring, but it depends on the scale.

Give me specifics, my dear. What do you need?

audio;

[purered]

[He sits up a little straighter and you can just hear the blush in his flustered tone.]

Ah- Miss Sorrows!

What we would need is a means to decelerate the turtle before landfall so we don't crash, and a means of securing him until we're able to find a way to wake him. If you have any skill with seals or barriers of some kind, that would be our best option.

[skeletonenigma]

[Lazuli's disappearance only affects Skulduggery in thoughts of the immediate and practical future. He didn't know her very well - just that she was one of the biggest reasons Asti got as far as he did. With her gone, things might be a little shaky.

Fortunately, Klaus is as on top of things as always.]

As long as we have the tidal surge, I can help. I can't guarantee quite as much power, and I certainly can't guarantee being able to move on after we hit land.

[But hopefully they can revive Asti and that'll be a moot point. Right now, all they can do is hope whoever lives on the nearby continent won't mind a crash landing, or a few extra indefinite visitors.]

[purered]

The latter may prove tricky if there are inhabitants and they do not take kindly to our arrival.

My hopes are to slow the turtle once we're a certain distance away so that our impact isn't devastating to the locale. Is that something you could help with?
