And with that Nova final got to work on the controls of the ship, with a small hum the engines began to draw mana from there core, and the surrounding environment a process that would give nearby mages a small headache.

The metal of the ship began to creek a bit as slowly but steadily the hull began to lift of the ground, true to the helmswomans word, very little inertia felt inside the hull, although the ship did shake a bit due to the primitive construction of the hull.

Isaure settled onto the bed as the ship began shaking and creaking. This wasn't really much new to her.

What was, was the tiny headache she felt as the drives started drawing in mana from the surrounding environment. Including her.

"...ow. Could be worse. Hey, Yol, don't suppose you've got something for seasickness?"

Becca felt a little dizzy, but considering she wasn't a full mage, that was it.

Simon pressed a hand against a wall and closed his eyes, gripping his rosary tight. "Don't mention it," he said, before muttering to himself, "Death and Mana seek us out. Preserve myself and my companion..." After a moment, a warm, pale light shines on both him and Cassie, just as the ship warms up. He feels a little dizzy as the ship takes some of his mana, but not as much as he would without the ward.

Cassie a low groan, she then fallow up with a shocked gasp.

Yoldwinaak shakes his head. "Not really", he says, "I could only cast an anchoring spell, but I doubt that helps in this case. Try asking one of our healers though."

Holly rubs her temple a bit at the sudden loss of ambient magic, "So it begins then? I certainly hope that patchwork man got aboard in time."

Daphne, on the other hand, did not take a liking to headaches at all, even regular headaches or hangovers, and have to lie down on side, holding her temple and laying down on her side, trying her hardest to subside the pain in her brain.

Marcus let out a low groan as his magic drained away. He hadn't been lying when he said he hadn't wanted to miss the launch, the mana drains were killer but there was no feeling like the power gathering and flowing back into him. "That'll have to wait." He muttered, shouldering his pack and setting off to find a bunk.

After a moment, two large crates came into the room, one marked "S. Abel," and the other "C. Simmons." As the forklift-bot drops them, it extends a clipboard and pen to Simon. After a moment's confusion, he gets the idea that he needs to sign for these crates, and after doing so, leaves a tip on the clipboard out of habit. The forklift makes the closest gesture it can to rolling its eyes before whirring to its other duties.

Cassie quick opens up her stuff. She didn't have much but what she had seem well cared for. "So? want a top or bottom bunk?", she quietly asked.

Simon quickly opens his crate and gets to setting up a small shrine to Libra on one of the room's desks. He speaks to Cassie as he works. "I usually prefer bottom, but I'm easy." He mutters a small prayer when he puts the final piece in place, and then pulls out several boxes of 9mm ammunition.

"I dont mind sleeping on the top bunk", she replied. Cassie moves to one of the desk, she begin neatly lining up several books. A couple of the books are in different languages. After she done with placing the books she moves to order random tools and cleaning kits.

If it wasn't for the tight restraints Zirconus had put about himself, he would have collapsed to the floor of the ship when the engines turned on. This sudden lack of ambient magical energy hitting him far harder then the other magically inclined members of the crew given his use of it for sustenance. Instead the crystalline being shuddered and groaned within his restraints for a few seconds before managing to work through the sudden change in conditions. His eye dimmed and flickered as he slowly began working the seat restraints off. He hadn't anticipated this aspect of lift off.

Yes, the patchwork man had made it onboard. However, like with Zirconius, he had been hit hard by the sudden loss of ambient magic. Being animated solely by magic, he had passed out, and when he came to, he found himself being pecked at by his feathered companion.

"Ow! Fritz, I'm awake," the man said, sitting up as he rubbed his now sore forehead. "I can't have been out that long—"

"Victor, you were unconscious for a full minute and a half before I started pecking," Fritz said, flying up and landing on his friend's shoulder. "I was worried you had suffered adverse effects from the engine."

"Takes more than that to keep me down," the patchwork man said jokingly as he attempted to reach for the staff. However, the grin on his face vanished as his fingers failed to make contact with it. "Hey, where did the staff—"

"It's about a foot to the left," Fritz said.

"Thanks, Fritz," Victor said as he finally grabbed it and got up. "Now, remember, you need to keep quiet. The last thing we need is to have people find out about the... you know. You remember the code?"

Fritz responded by cawing twice.

"Great," Victor said. Tapping the staff in front of him, Victor carefully made his way towards one of the rooms.

Don't really have a room in mind, sorry...

"Heyyyy now..." Inherently magical as a Kitsune but devoid of any real magical talent, Roar swayed back on his heels as the engines kicked in. "Pulp writing helps sometimes. The gritty detective stories are always fun. Not very realistic, but I get the need for that sometimes, you know?"

Holly removes her pouch from her belt and spreads its contents on her bed, "A good mystery is always entertaining. I'm partial to the pulp angel tales, they're hilarious. I've even found a few that were written about me. I'm not entirely sure how to feel about those, to be honest."

Slowly and steadily outside the veiwports, the ground gets farther and farther away. The pale blue atmosphere begins to fade to black, the stars them selfs slowly become visible in the day, and all discomfort quickly subsides as the ship enters its native enviroment.

Holly watches as the world falls from view. She sighs and removes her sword from her belt. She begins to sort her meager belongings into seemingly arbitrary piles.

Simon's eyes widen and his pupils dilate as he realizes that there is no longer atmosphere outside the ship. In hindsight, the time between the engines starting and the ship taking off made sense, but that doesn't change the fact that he's no longer standing on anything connected to solid ground. He slowly slinks into his bunk and tries not to panic.

"Oh, nice!" Roar looked out the window. "Thought vertical takeoff would be a lot nastier, but given all the strapping in I think everyone did." He was about to undo his shoulder rig and hang it up, but thought better of it. No sense being unprepared.

"What kinds of stories, if you don't mind me asking?" Roar asked. "The angel thing, the fact that angel is as much your job as your race, kinda draws you towards pulp writers, much as you'd probably prefer otherwise."
