Sky Train

Willmonth the 5th, Year 53 of the Century of the Nymphs, 26th Cycle


We all died.

 KLO-toon: We aren't dead yet.
KLO-sky: Basically though
Mimi: Yeah, pretty much
Magenta: ...
KLO-sky: I never trusted Magenta anyways
Magenta: It will work next time
KLO-toon: Not happening in the cave we are all in. 
KLO-sky: Yeah. We're all dead now
Mimi: I'm hungry .... Where is the food
Maganta: Oops
KLO-toon: ...
KLO-sky: ...
Mimi: WherE iS thE fOOd. I'm HUngry!
Magenta; Um, there's cacti outside?

 KLO-sky: That's the scariest way I've ever seen someone eat a whole cactus before
Magenta: You've seen someone else eat a whole cactus?
KLO-sky: Well, not a whole cactus.
KLO-toon: Let's not mention this again
KLO-sky: Oh no. This story is coming out every year-end party. Story of the year
KLO-toon: Let's not call that too soon. Mimi has the rest of the year with us, remember
KLO-sky: *yikes*
Magenta: I think it's kind of pretty though. The swirls converging on the flesh of the cactus as the poison seeps to the edges. 
KLO-sky: ... How long do we have to wait for the sky train? 
KLO-toon: A few hours

 KLO-MeiMei: How many cacti is she going to eat?
KLO-sky: Why is she so hungry?
Magenta: It sure is fascinating, though. But - looks like the MerBubble uses a lot of her energy to keep up.
KLO-toon: Maybe if she'd stop running it would be better.

KLO-MeiMei: Is that the sound of the sky train?
KLO-sky: I thought so too, but then I ran further outside and it's just Mimi.
KLO-MeiMei: What is she doing?
KLO-sky: She's half collapsed, resorting to drinking old cacti roots.
KLO-toon: Bring her back in! 
KLO-tanka: Never knew someone could sound like the drone and clomp of metal wings
KLO-toon: Good thing a medic is coming. I was afraid something would happen.
KLO-MeiMei: Something like this?
KLO-toon: Not this, but something.

 KLO-MeiMei: Is that the sound of the sky train now?
Mimi: Yees. It betteBe!
Magenta: Stop moving and you'll be preserve your energy better!
Mimi: I'm going into water form and hiding in the cracks
Magenta: Tell me if you find something interesting
KLO-sky: She looks so depressed like a puddle. 
Magenta: Yeah, normally she flowers when she's like that
KLO-MeiMei: Doesn't she want to be here when the sky train arives?
KLO-tanka: Once we hear to, still got an hour or two before its here. 
KLO-MeiMei: Oh yeah, I forgot they only use it for long distance trecks to places like here cause its so loud.

KLO-tanka: Even North City isn;t this loud.
KLO-sky: But the Sky Train departs from there?
KLO-tanka: Well, yeah, but. 
KLO-sky: Wait, isn't that your hometown?: 
KLO-tanka: Well, yeah, but. Everywhere was loud, so you kind of just got used to it. 
KLO-MeiMei: Whereas there are no other noises here. Except for the night singing of the magi-bugs.
KLO-tanka: I guess the sky train was a normal background noise.
KLO-sky: Isn't there a noise pollution barrier over the city?
KLO-tanka: Um, there are a few smaller ones over different areas. Oh yeah, and one over the Sky Train Docks, so it wasn't as noisy to the rest of town....
KLO-sky: So North City is louder than this
KLO-tanka: Yeah, I guess. I was wrong, I'm sorry.
KLO-MeiMei: Nah, we're just bored and hungry. 
KLO-sky: Haven't you been to Tanka's place, MeiMei?
KLO-MeiMei: I had water-equivalent headphones in the whole time
KLO-tanka: I don't remember that?
KLO-MeiMei: Special Mermaid magic, don't worry about it. How else are we to stay in North City for so long? Also, I don't remember your place being shielded by the noise barrier?
KLO-tanka: Yeah. Specially cause the Warbeast-kin are meant to get used to Dragon-kin noises. So, we gotta get used to all that goes on with them. 
KLO-MeiMei: Its been centuries since Dragon-kin were the actual wings of the sky train though?
KLO-tanka: Yeah, but they still are the pilots and in case of emergency they are trained to fly the train.
KLO-sky: Cool
KLO-tanks: I guess. The current wings are designed on Dragonkin wings so if that happens, the wings can be thrown off and Dragon-kin take over.
KLO-MeiMei: Les weight too. 
KLO-sky: Not that a Beast-kin wouldn't rise to the challenge
KLO-MeiMei: I assume they are trained to not overstate their limits though
KLO-tank: Somewhat

 KLO-sky: Finally here!
KLO-MeiMei: Ah! Cold water!
KLO-tanka: I've moved the cargo. 
KLO-toon: Anyone seen Mimi?
Magenta: If she still has her phone on her, I can locate her on the holo map
KLO-Sky: You mean the one on the table there?
KLO-toon: Shit

KLO-toon: The doc will stay here for now. The train will come back in two days. Some of the pay is coming from Mimi's next pay check! Are we sure no on has seen her? 
KLO-MeiMei: I've been doing the water on the walls for the last three hours and I haven't felt her. 
KLO-sky: I've put food near the crack she went into and no luck
