"Slider, bud, sit down. I think you've been influenced." If he does, I began to pray for peace, and calm, and Order. "God is the God of order, and not confusion, Slider." I put my hands on his shoulders, and continue praying. Hopefully, the Chaotic energies inside him will be neutralized by the influx of Order and Peace.
Slider calms down a quite a bit. His white iron hammer almost goes dark. It glowed faintly. He says:
"Thanks maan. Can you teach me how to do that?"
He means to pray, but he doesn't know the word for it.
quote:
"Hey Slider, Samantha sounds really worried. Do you think we could get Launchpad to take us back, fast as possible?"
Launchpad says "Just hold on a second there son. We ain't going back unless it's something majorly bad."
Ultimately, Samantha doesn't even want you to come back.
quote:
To Samantha 'We're coming kiddo.'
Samantha becomes adamant.
"No, don't come back here. I'm fine. I just had a scary dream. Four chess pieces, the black and white king and queen took me to their realm and asked me if I wanted to be a Chaos mage. I think I told them I didn't want to. I wouldn't have believed chess pieces could be that scary!!!! Have you ever had that dream before?"
She's just a little girl who had a bad dream and wants to be consoled, that's all.
I forgot to mention, she likes holding your hand. Everywhere you go, if she's with you, she holds you hand like a child would. And she's probably 5 times your character's age. Some things you never grow out of I guess.
Launchpad doesn't like turning around unless it's a real emergency. Not even if you really really want to. Although he probably would in the end.
Anyway, no emergency, no reason to act.
Samantha does ask to talk to Slider.
His side of the conversation, he says:
"Yeah, Sam-baby, I had that dream."
"Sorry Samantha. Yes. You told me not to call you that. Yes, I remember what you told me you'd do to me..... Can we drop it, please????? Okay, I'll give it to you!!! Just don't do that thing you're always threatening to do!!!"
You know that despite being in the body of an eight year old girl, Samantha is an incredibly skilled fighter. She's dedicated herself to learning every single martial art she's physically capable of performing in the entire multiverse. I don't care how obscure the weapon is. Samantha has one and has minimum 1@5 skills using it. That is, provided that a healthy eight year old girl would be capable of wielding it. Her preferred weapons are katana swords, nunchucks, staffs, and bare hands and feet. Slider was teaching her how to fight with a blacksmithing hammer. She said it was too heavy for her. Anyway, Slider has obviously developed reason to fear her.
Anyway, I digress.
After he calms down a bit, he says:
"Yeah Samantha. I had that dream. I started asking a bunch of stupid questions and they said "Next time, don't ask such stupid questions." and let me go."
"Oh yeah? They said that? The What? Demigod of Chaos..... Glowing white ghost thing? Huh..... Okay Samantha..... We'll do that."
He hangs up and tells you she wants you to check out a restaurant she's read about. She gives Launchpad the coordinates. He's never heard of it. She makes you promise to bring her back whatever a child's meal is there.
Launchpad says to you:
"So we staying out or what? It's three times pay to go back if it's not an emergency."
Standard thing. Pilots like to fly. The only thing they like more than flying is getting paid.
