Carth's magical adventure, ROUND TWO, MOTHERFUCKERS!

[Anastasia]

A few things that you'll need that will be difficult or impossible to obtain on Earth -

An energy source powerful enough to power said gateway, preferabally a small energy crystal.

A suitable gate frame OR a gate projector. Both are hard to make and extrememly costly.

Several myraid mechanical parts that are fairly common off of Earth but too advanced to find on Earth generally.

Even with millions of dollars, the cost is absurdly out of reach as is.

[Carthrat]

Yup, no doubt about it, he had to get off planet.

Hoo boy, was that gonna be hard. An adventure in itself.

Carthrat sleeps..

[Anastasia]

You slumber...

When you wake up, sunlight is streaming through the windows and your necklace is glowing softly. Once you wake up enought to really register it, you notice that it is glowing white.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat holds the amulet to his eyes (which he's rubbing with his other hand; he's not a morning person) curiously.

[Anastasia]

It is pleasantly warm, like how another person feels when  you sleep with them. The light is enough to be seen in the morning sunlight but not enough to be blinding in the least even to your sleepy eyes.

[Carthrat]

"Weird," thinks Carthrat, dropping the amulet inside his shirt where others cannot see it.

Hopping out of bed and swinging on his cloak, he heads into the kitchen..

[Anastasia]

As you walk to the kitchen, you feel the amulet get searingly hot for a moment then cool off. Looking at it, you see that it did not burn you, nor is it glowing now.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat figures that the amulet must be reacting to something, somewhere, and pulls his scannar to do a sweep of the local area.

[Anastasia]

The area has several amonalies of varying degree, from minor to fairly major. Due to this, it is difficult to weed out any unusual activity.  

Including a few on yourself, but isn't that to be expected now?

[Carthrat]

"Bah. Figures. Useless piece of junk.." Carthrat mutteres. As there's nothing else to do, he starts cooking some waffles.

[Anastasia]

Rachel soon gets up and you eat breakfast. She is exicited about leaving today, you soon find out. Further, she is dressed in a simple long white T shirt(Tucked in), black cargo pants and the military jacket and belt. A shimmering pair of gold earring catch your eye as they dangle from her ear. They shimmer even when the light is away from her...odd, that. Also, you notice a new ring on each finger.

You leave shortly thereafter for the flight...

[Carthrat]

"Nice jewlery," quips Carthrat as the two are waiting for the plane. "Anyway, I havn't bothered to reserve rooms for us in Japan. It's not tourist season, so we should be fine.

Can you speak any Japanese?"

[Anastasia]

In flawless Japanese, she responds. "Yes, yes I can. I can speak Japanese very well," she says. "Or the earrings can, anyway." she smiles, moving her head slightly so that the earrings jangle.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat chuckles. "Handy. Anyway, time to go. I hope you packed some food, airline food generally sucks."

[Anastasia]

The long flight to Tokyo begins. At first, small talk idles away the first hour, but you soon find yourself absorbed working with your laptop, making designs and plans. The hours fall by...

"That's the last bloody time I ever take a plane for that long," Rachel mutters darkly as you step off the plane in Narita Internation Airport. "So...now what, Carthrat?"
