Breath of Fire Arc

"Hotaru, that wasn't me singing... that was a starlit ice dance with music.  And yes, I admit it was a bad idea.  Give me a break, I was in the moment..." Ryder muttered as he reached into his sub-space pocket... for marshmellows.

[Dracos]

"Lifeforms detected."  Zitwan hummed along, skimming over the southern desert.

Hotaru shrugged and collasped back into the sand, gazing up at the stars.

Ami sighed. "Two days. It's been two days since we got here."

"And it's probably going to get worse," Hotaru muttered.

"Well, we'll pull through," said Ami confidently. "We always have before."

Hotaru shrugged again, not wanting to point out that they usually had more help in these situations.

[Dracos]

Beeping indicated the return of Zitwan late in the night as they huddled in the cold desert.

[Shukuen]

"Zitwan, welcome back," said Ami drowsily as she shook herself awake. "Did you find anything?"

[Dracos]

"Bzzzt...error....error....data...overl-o-a-d."

Zitwan shutdown.

Ami checked over their disabled friend. "What do you suppose happened out there?" she asked, reaching for some pliers as she tiredlessly repaired him again.

"We won't know until he's fixed." Hotaru sighed and handed Ami the tool she requested. Maybe giant robots were cool, but the maintenance might get annoying soon.

[Dracos]

Working through the late night and early morning, Ami gradually managed to fix and restart Zitwan.

Fearless Leader

[Shukuen]

"Fi... finished..." Both Ami and Hotaru managed to mutter before collapsing on the spot, fast asleep.

[Dracos]

Zitwan scanned the girls.  "Defense mode active."

hovering around the girls, Zitwan ensured nothing would get close.

[RyderHakubi]

Pulling a pair of blankets from subspace, Ryder covered the pair and looked down at them with a smile...

"You girls don't deserve this..." he muttered as he watched Zitwan hover in defense.

[Dracos]

OOC: Ryder...S KEY S KEY S KEY

IC:

The sun rose in the sky, it's searing heat roaring over the desert.

Fearless leader

[Shukuen]

"Argh!" two voices rose up in unison as a pair of blankets were tossed away.

"Too hot!" the girls complained, shooting glares at the desert sky for disturbing their nap.

[Shukuen]

"What time is it?" asked Hotaru blearily, the lack of sleep combined with the morning heat slurring her speech and movements slightly.

Ami just scowled irritably at nothing in particular as she fanned herself. Was it so much to ask for if she wanted to sleep in? "Zitwan? What happened out there to overload you?"

[Dracos]

"Data Overload.  Attempted to analyze strange energy pattern after detecting humanoid encampment."
