[Rocket] Let Me Play Among The Stars

by **Narrator** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 2:13 pm

Once again the chosen humans gather at the mansion and are led into the woods behind it. There waits a sleek silvery wedge of a craft propped up on three legs extended from the hull. A long entry ramp extends from a doorway where Anu, human disguise forgotten, serenely stands.

"We are all ready then?" he asks.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 2:19 pm

"I suppose ready as we'll ever be ...

...this looks like something off of TV."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 2:32 pm

Nailah just shakes her head in slight disbelief, part of her still wanting to doubt that this is an actual space-ship.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 2:37 pm

"One thing to talk about it, another thing entirely to see it, aye?" Samantha said as she walked up behind Nailah with her bags.

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 2:41 pm

"Dear God it's beautiful..." Steve said, smiling at the craft.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 2:47 pm

"I'm still half expecting it to be chicken-wire and aluminum foil..." she admits.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 2:50 pm

"But I see you packed, too."

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 2:55 pm

Steve knelt down and gave the thin metal ramp a knock. There was a satisfying metallic sound.

"Well that's certainly not a painted prop."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 2:59 pm

"It's just utterly baffling that this would even be possible is all."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 3:12 pm

"Believe me, I sympathize, but..."

"...well, I wasn't going to pass this up."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 3:21 pm

"Oh absolutely. I'd always be wondering." she says, taking a step up the ramp.

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 4:37 pm

"If starry space no limit knows
And sun succeeds to sun,
There is no reason to suppose
Our earth the only one.
'Mid countless constellations cast
A million worlds may be,
With each a God to bless or blast
And steer to destiny," Steve recited in response.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 4:43 pm

"...what?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 4:44 pm

"Going to be a long trip," she said as she followed Nailah up the ramp, casting an eye to Mr. Jones.

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 4:53 pm

"Oh come now, Robert W. Service wasn't that bad," he smirked.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 4:58 pm

"I'm not sure if I'd trust your opinion on literary worth." Nailah says with a faint smirk.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 5:53 pm

"At least it wasn't the Cremation of Sam McGee..."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 6:23 pm

"This is amazing." Rachel said. She was carrying her doctor's bag, along with a small suitcase, and had a rucksack slung on her back.

by **Narrator** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 7:50 pm

Anu steps aside to allow entry. The inside of the vessel is all curved white walls and smooth chrome, the sterile serenity broken by the occasional bright blue light fixture along the walls and a gold band where wall meets floor. It is almost like a hospital corridor.

"Welcome to my humble vessel."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 8:22 pm

Bear was dragging along several satchels full of film, lenses, and at least four cameras hanging off her neck.

by **Nash Riley** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 8:33 pm

Nash didn't go in right away. He took some time to walk around and get a better view of the outside of the craft.

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 8:39 pm

Steve carried in his twin suitcases, whistling at the shining interior.

"Very nice Mr. Kalverathrix. Very nice."

by **Narrator** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 9:08 pm

Except for the door and where the three legs emerge, the exterior of the ship has no other openings or any signs the craft is more than a single solid mass.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 9:11 pm

"Very sterile," Will noted.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 9:31 pm

"I can't imagine the planes you test have much more charm in their decor, Captain Stanton."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 9:41 pm

"I'm afraid quite a bit of that is classified information, Miss McManus."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 9:46 pm

"It's Doctor, actually." She smirked faintly.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 12:18 am

"Very impressive." Nailah says with a polite smile as she steps inbetween the two and into the ship with her bag.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 12:23 am

"Not to boast," she shrugs, "but if we must rest on formality..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 12:55 am

"Well I suppose we could if we had to." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 1:20 am

"My apologies, of course, doctor."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 1:36 am

"Where can we put our gear?" Rachel asked.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 10:53 am

"The storeroom is this way," Ellerbee answers as he enters behind them, now a red version of Anu with slightly different facial features. He moves down the corridor.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 1:59 pm

"May as well make ourselves comfortable, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 2:02 pm

"As comfortable as one can be at the prospect of being shot into space, I suppose." she says, not nervous at all.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 4:48 pm

"I believe you will find the sensation of transition negligible in its discomfort," Anu states.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 5:21 pm

"...Transition?"

by **Narrator** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 7:40 pm

"From planet to open space."

by **Nash Riley** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 8:17 pm

Nash finally entered the craft carrying his bags. As he looked around at the interior, there was a touch of disappointment on his face.

I expected this to look so much cooler

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 8:27 pm

"Are there no windows?"
