A New Airship!

Savage.Taurus: sings to himself, "Money, money, money...I've got money!"

Savage.Taurus: I wanna go spread it out on my bed and roll in it!

Talia.Sunsong: "I'm a good nanny, pay me by buying cream."

Fiesty Lotus eyes the money and grins

Savage.Taurus: scoffs

Talia.Sunsong: "I am a great nanny. I taught Rorn to hunt."

Savage.Taurus: Fine, I'll buy the kid some cream

Talia.Sunsong: "And for me. Watch!" Points at hot dog. "Rorn, attack!"

Savage.Taurus: laughs

Talia.Sunsong: Rorn blinks, looks at hot dog, and rolls over to get his belly rubbed.

Fiesty and Fit Talk

Fiesty Lotus speaks to Fitheach in low tones

Talia.Sunsong: "No Rorn. Attack!"

Fiesty Lotus: “You know- we might be able to go on the road with that act.”

Talia.Sunsong: Rorn looks at Talia, then up at sky, where a kite had drifted above them

Savage.Taurus: walks up to a vendor and tosses her a coin and takes some iced cream; takes a lick and screws up his face in disgust, then hands it to the nanny.

The Dragon Buys Ice Cream

Talia.Sunsong: Rorn explodes from his carriage chasing the kite.

Talia.Sunsong: "Nooooo, not the kite, Rorn."

Savage.Taurus: sees his kid attacking some flying bit of cloth and says, "Go get it, son!"

Fitheach Eun whispers back to Fiesty: "We could get one of those airships and go search for some land to settle in."

Talia.Sunsong: Rorn breathes a small flame at the paper kite, which quickly catches on fire.

Fiesty Lotus: OH, but they would cost a fortune!

Talia.Sunsong: A boy runs up to the boardwalk. "Hey! What happened to my kite."

Talia.Sunsong: "Rorn hide!" hisses Talia.

Savage.Taurus: laughs at the boy's whining

Fitheach Eun: “Let's all head back to the house.”

Talia.Sunsong: Rorn flies off, towards an airship to hide

Fiesty Lotus nods and walks toward home

Fitheach Eun notices where Rorn is going

Talia.Sunsong: "Rorn, where are you going?"

Fitheach Eun: “Isn't that the airship Dragon attacked? I wonder if it is for sale?”

Talia.Sunsong: "We have to go retrieve baby Rorn."

Fitheach Eun: “Yes, we do”

Slightly Shabby Gentleman: The gentleman sees the people coming

Slightly Shabby Gentleman: He notices a strange blue creature. “What is that?”

Rorn and The Shabby Gentleman

Fitheach Eun interjects: "That is our pet, sir; it belongs to the lady here.”

Savage.Taurus: "Pet!" scoffs

Fitheach Eun mutters: "Shut up Dragon."

Slightly Shabby Gentleman: “It's got fire comin out of its mouth!”

Fitheach Eun: "Oh no, surely not."

Talia.Sunsong: "That's normal."

Savage.Taurus: “That's, um, indigestion!”

Slightly Shabby Gentleman: Sputters and waves the creature away

Talia.Sunsong: "Hey, careful, he's a baby.”

Talia.Sunsong: Talia grabs baby Rorn.

Slightly Shabby Gentleman is relieved to have the small creature out of his face

Talia.Sunsong: She tries to hid him under a blanket

Slightly Shabby Gentleman raises an eyebrow. "Well, you folks look flush. Can I interest you in a second-hand Airship?

The Second Hand Airship

Savage.Taurus: “Second hand?”

Slightly Shabby Gentleman: “She only has, um 3,000 miles on her”

Fitheach Eun raises an eyebrow: " You sell airships?"

Savage.Taurus: “What happened to the first hand?”

Slightly Shabby Gentleman: “I do ma’am.”

Talia.Sunsong: "An airship could be handy; my wings get tired flying long distances."

Fitheach Eun whispers to Dragon: " Second hand means it is used"

Savage.Taurus: "I never got tired when I flew," sighs missing his wings

Talia.Sunsong: "Let's take a look at it."

Fitheach Eun smiles at the others: "We could go exploring."

Talia.Sunsong: "I like to explore and find cream."

Slightly Shabby Gentleman nods:  "Yes ma’am- just don't let that creature near the fuselage.”

Talia.Sunsong: "Why will he eat it?"

Fiesty Lotus stares up at the airship

Talia.Sunsong: "Can you show us the airship?"

Slightly Shabby Gentleman: “Fire is not one of an airships friends.”

Slightly Shabby Gentleman: “Sure - Follow me.”

Talia.Sunsong: follows the man to the docked airship

Savage.Taurus: follows his companions, wondering what they are on about

Talia in the Captain's Chair

Talia.Sunsong: Steps onto the wooden deck. She settles in the plush red velvet airship seat

Talia.Sunsong: pulls on the wheel and makes air whooshing noises. "Look I'm a pilot!"

Savage.Taurus: chuckles at the fae's antics

Fitheach Eun shudders at the idea of Talia flying this thing and walks into the cabin to look around

Talia.Sunsong: Follows her: "Food!"

Talia.Sunsong: stares hungrily at the food cabinet.

Talia.Sunsong: At the mention of food, Rorn pokes his head out.

Savage.Taurus: looks at the bed with the strong urge to roll around on his money

Fitheach Eun looks at the salesperson: "How much is it?"

Talia.Sunsong: jumps up and down on the mattress

Fiesty Lotus: “My, my - this is fine.”

Inside the Cabin

Fitheach Eun: “Room for all of us.”

Fiesty Lotus: “It be a bit dizzying, but  very nice.”

Fitheach Eun looks at the sides of the ship and sees a large hole

Slightly Shabby Gentleman eyes his possible customers

Fitheach Eun: “The woodwork on the edge looks gnawed?”

Slightly Shabby Gentleman sees the lady looking and says: “It has a few dings; but she is airworthy.”

Fitheach Eun looks incredulously at the salesman: "You call those dings?"

Talia.Sunsong: pokes at some levers and buttons she really shouldn't be touching

Fitheach Eun stands by Talia and watches her closely

Slightly Shabby Gentleman looks nervously at the other lady but answers the question

Slightly Shabby Gentleman: “It has been through some hard times- the old lady who owned it was a bit shortsighted.”

Druid Fitheach Sits Down

Fitheach Eun pushes Talia out of the chair and sits down

Talia.Sunsong: wrinkles up her nose at the pushy one.

Talia.Sunsong: curses in Fae

Savage.Taurus: walks around the ship, looking about, thinking it seems vaguely familiar to him

Talia.Sunsong: stands on the railing

Fitheach Eun: “I find it difficult to believe a little old lady owned this.”

Savage.Taurus: “Perhaps she was a big old lady.”

Fitheach Eun looks at the salesman: "So how much are you asking for this damaged airship?"

Slightly Shabby Gentleman watches the daring one and is confused

Slightly Shabby Gentleman: “Oh, Hmm. I was gonna ask 100 pounds, but for you I would go 75.”

Savage.Taurus: “Pounds of what? Bovine flesh? I could get that.”

Fitheach Eun: “75 pounds for a ship with a hole in it? Ridiculous; it is not worth more than 30."

Druid Fit Haggles for the Ship

 Slightly Shabby Gentleman: “Oh now Lady.” “It has a good fuselage and the rigging is brand new.”

Fitheach Eun: "That hole is at least a meter wide. It will need repair"

Slightly Shabby Gentleman: “I couldn't let it go for less than 60.”

Slightly Shabby Gentleman looks despairingly at the hole

Fitheach Eun: “50 and that is our final offer.”

Talia.Sunsong: walks out on the front beam

Fitheach Eun stands as if to go

Slightly Shabby Gentleman is so nervous about the fearless lady and the determined one that he wants out.
Slightly Shabby Gentleman: “Alright then, you have a deal. 50 Pounds.”

Fitheach Eun looks at Dragon; "Please pay the man."

Talia.Sunsong: "Save some money for cream."

Slightly Shabby Gentleman grins at Savage

Savage.Taurus: “What!? Why me?”

Fitheach Eun looks exasperated: "Because you have the money."

Savage.Taurus: sputters with indignation

Savage.Taurus: “That's MY money! I swindled those rubes fair and square!”

Fiesty Lotus: “That weren't a swindle Savage- It was a good act.”

Fitheach Eun: “We need a ship and this one is available.”

Savage.Taurus: “You expect me to finance your little venture? Why should I?”

Talia on the Front Beam

Talia.Sunsong: "Baby Rorn likes the airship."

Fitheach Eun: “And all the rest of us have shared what we acquired.”

Savage.Taurus: grumbles and growls and shoots smoke out of his nostrils

Fitheach Eun looks sternly at him

Savage.Taurus: “This is an outrage! You steal my kid and now you want to steal my hoard, before I even have a chance to roll in it.”

Fitheach Eun: “I would think you can easily make more, particularly if we travel to different places where they have not seen your act.”

Slightly Shabby Gentleman stands by, relieved that the lady has climbed back in to the airship

Savage.Taurus: “Hmmm....”

Fitheach Eun: “You can make lots more if we travel.”

Talia.Sunsong: "You can get lots of shinies traveling with the airship."

Savage.Taurus: “Well, I guess if we travel, we can find more rubes and marks to squeeze for shinies.”

Fiesty Lotus: “And think of all the people you kin entertain.”

Fitheach Eun: “A small investment now will get you a larger hoard later.”

Savage.Taurus: “Hmmmm...what's the rate of return for my investment?”

Fitheach Eun stifles a giggle thinking how Dragon had adapted to this world

Close to a Deal

Savage.Taurus: “Ok, but I'll own the ship, and you’ll all pay me rent to stay on it.”

Fitheach Eun: “You made more than the price of this ship in one show. Think how much you can multiply that.”

Savage.Taurus: “I'll require plenty of fresh meat...and backrubs!”

Fitheach Eun: “And if you charge us rent then we will charge you for the food and the cooking and the nanny service.”

Talia.Sunsong: "I can charge for nanny service?"

Savage.Taurus: “No, that’s part of the deal.”

Fitheach Eun: “If he charges rent, of course you can"

Talia.Sunsong: "So there!" crosses arms over chest.”

Savage.Taurus: “I'm gonna need more services from that nanny.”

Fitheach Eun: “Charge us rent and we will charge you penny for penny for everything we take care of.”

Talia.Sunsong: "I can teach you how to make mischief."

Savage.Taurus: “We'll discuss that later; I can teach you some things too.”

Fiesty Lotus rolls her eyes

Fitheach Eun sighs

Talia.Sunsong: "You can teach me how to make fire?"

Fiesty Lotus: “Well, do we got a deal?”

Savage.Taurus: Smiles: “Ok, fine...How much?”

Fitheach Eun: “50 pounds; pay the man, please.”

Savage.Taurus: rummages through his pockets and pulls out some coins

Slightly Shabby Gentleman perks up and approaches the man

The Dragon Pays for the Airship

Savage.Taurus: “Counts it out meticulously, agonizing over every piece. With a sigh, he plops the jingling coins into the man's hand.”

Slightly Shabby Gentleman smiles and takes the money: “Well now, I will have the boys fix you up with the necessaries.”

Slightly Shabby Gentleman takes his leave

Savage.Taurus: leans against the railing and thinks about all the money he will make in the future with his investment

Fitheach Eun: “Ok, shall we move our stuff and prepare to leave?”

Talia.Sunsong: "Let's make sure to move the food."

Savage.Taurus: “I'll take the big bed! That one's mine, since I'm the master and captain of the ship.”

Talia.Sunsong: "Look baby Rorn, a new big, carriage for you!" Talia pulls out baby dragon and shows him the airship.
