|
||||
|
||||
Inky and Confidence carefully dump Bread onto the deck of the ship.
|
||||
They grunt at the impact and mutter a weak thank you.
|
||||
|
||||
Inky starts to saw through the zipline with their knife. The closest
|
||||
cyberplasm can almost reach out for the railing and haul itself up.
|
||||
The second pirate is not far behind it. Alex yanks the ship hard to
|
||||
starboard and---thanks to Inky sawing on it---the line snaps cleanly
|
||||
in two.
|
||||
|
||||
Inky looks over the railing in time to see the second pirate fall
|
||||
into the sea of clouds with a surprised look on its face. There is no
|
||||
trace of the first one. As Inky patrols alongside the edge to check
|
||||
for additional company, they see one ghostly hand and then the other
|
||||
reach up and grab hold of the rail.
|
||||
|
||||
When the cyberplasm pops its head up and peers over the railing, the
|
||||
first thing it sees is a tea strainer flying at its face. It tries to
|
||||
turn away, but ends up with a face full of limequat juice
|
||||
nonetheless. As the citrus starts to burn, it squeezes its eyes shut
|
||||
tight, even tighter than its grip on the railing. All of its focus
|
||||
and effort is concentrated on the burning sensation in its eyes. On
|
||||
autopilot, one of its hands lets go of the railing to quickly wipe
|
||||
the juice away.
|
||||
|
||||
When it grips the railing again, its hand is now slick with juice,
|
||||
and it slips. Knocked off balance and unable to get a grip, the
|
||||
pirate cries out as it too falls into the ocean of clouds, eyes
|
||||
squeezed shut the whole time.
|
||||
|
||||
Poking its head and arms out of the pack on Alex's back, the
|
||||
hemogoblin claps and cheers.
|
||||
|
||||
The balloonship sails away from Runesocesius and from Kelsun Peak.
|
||||
The sun is starting to set, and the clouds are turning brilliant
|
||||
pinks and reds. This delights the zephynos, who leap and cavort in
|
||||
the clouds, and run playfully alongside the ship for a while.
|
||||
|
||||
You have in your possession a stolen pirate airship, a recovered
|
||||
Ginnarak Crystal, a couple novellas and manhwa, two warrior toque
|
||||
tour guides, and a childlike hemogoblin who may or may not be
|
||||
possessed by some kind of spirit.
|
||||
|
||||
END OF CHAPTER 3
|
||||
|
||||
- What do you do once you get back to the Milk Market?
|
||||
- Do you keep the airship?
|
||||
- What becomes of Confidence and Bread?
|
||||
- What do you do with the goblin child?
