1st New Key: Testing ALL the things

[sumofallreds]

[Action 1: Park - Open to all]

OK. Time to see how you lot fare.

[There's a treasure chest on the ground. In it, are a bunch of red Ranger keys. Nearly 40 in all. There's also some targets set up, far away from the trees. Marvelous has no intention of using potential food sources as targets.

Stop by and watch/talk/spar if you wish. Just don't go near that chest. It might turn bad for you if he doesn't know you well.]

[Action 2: The sky/outskirts of town - Open to all; Interior of Gokai-Oh locked to Ako]

[The Galleon is flying over the town, Marvelous perched on the bow, a makeshift megaphone of his own sloppy design in his hand. He wants to make an announcement to all that can hear, so he'll repeat it several times before reaching his destination.]

OK everyone. This is Captain Marvelous. I'm about to conduct an experiment outside of town. So...don't get shocked by anything you're about to see, ok?

[So, he'll continue to the outskirts of town. For those that are watching him, will eventually see 4 smaller craft come out of the top of the Galleon, and quickly form a gigantic robot...pirate-themed of course. Come yell at him or be amazed.]

We finally got it to work huh. [Ako is standing there, her two Fairy Tones playing in Ahim and Doc's seats.]

Re: 2

[sumofallreds]

After figuring out the auto-pilot systems...yeah.

[Not to mention a good number of exhausted days trying to get all this stuff together from scratch.]

So...what do ya think of her?

Re: 2

[tsunmuse]

She's a wonderful ship. I see why you're so proud of her.

Re: 2

[sumofallreds]

I am.

[He'll pat one of the bulkheads.]

So...wanna take the wheel for a while?

Re: 2

[tsunmuse]

Sure. Does the seat at least boost up?

[Sitting down, she fiddled with the controls. Predictably, she took the yellow one.]

Re: 2

[sumofallreds]

Switch under the left side of the seat. Forward for up.

[And with that, he'll take his hands off the wheel. Luckily, Gokai-Oh doesn't move when he does so.]

Re: 2

[tsunmuse]

[Boosting herself up, Ako gripped the controls.] Left, right, some switches I guess?

Re: 2

[sumofallreds]

The wheel controls the majority of the movement. The harder the turn, the quicker the movement. Clicking the switch nearest to the wheel on the right will switch from legs to arms. The one on the left will turn the controls from horizontal to vertical, allowing for ducking. The pedal is your ability to jump.

But, we should be far enough from the town for you to get a feel for that on your own.

Re: 2

[tsunmuse]

Sounds simple enough. Lets give this a try.

[Switching to legs, she started to turn it to the left...]

Re: 2

[sumofallreds]

[Gokai-Oh shifts to the left, taking a small step, and connecting solidly with the ground with a 'thud'.]

Good. Took Doc three tries to get a simple step without tripping.

Re: 2

[tsunmuse]

That's good then. Lets try this again then. [And she spins it to the right to make it take another step.]

Re: 2

[sumofallreds]

[Another successful stomp. And there goes a rather dead-looking tree in the process.]

I should also teach you about the radar while I'm thinking about it...

Re: 2

[tsunmuse]

Is it easier to see incoming things than relying on the big screen?

[Let's face it, going near that chest would end poorly for Asakura even if Marvelous knew him well.

But that's just what Asakura's doing. The chest looks rather interesting, after all, and Asakura's a bit cockier now that he's been able to recreate a bit of weaponry of his own.]

Re: 1

[sumofallreds]

[As he finishes a few target shots with his pistol, his arm suddenly swings around and fires a shot between Asakura and the chest.]

I'd step away from that if I were you. Pirates don't appreciate petty thieves lurking around their things.

Re: 1

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura's casually scanning the area for reflective surfaces now, but he's at least backed off of the box...for the moment.]

Who's lurking? I was just curious.

[Somehow, that didn't seem at all sincere.]

Re: 1

[sumofallreds]

Curious people tend to say things. Lurkers lurk.

Re: 1

[vexed_snake]

I just didn't want to disturb you.

[Suuuuure he didn't. He's trying to slide a hand into his pocket now, just to grab his Deck. He figures that if he can't find any reflective surfaces immediately nearby, he can just will a convenient one into being.]

So what's in the box?

[That would be helpful to know if he wants to try taking it or not, after all.]

Re: 1

[sumofallreds]

Sure you didn't...

[He doesn't like that hand. So he's now watching intently.]

Nothing that concerns you.

Re: 1

[vexed_snake]

[He's got that Deck in his hand now, and he at least knows to try to keep his movements subtle.]

Ah, but it looks so interesting...and I've been so bored lately, it's vexing.

[To transform or not to transform? Asakura would like to withdraw that Deck from his pocket and maybe get a mirror going somewhere, but he'd also like to not get shot. He'll attempt to distract Marvelous by glancing at a random point behind the other and nodding quickly like he's trying to give someone else the signal to do something unpleasant.]

Re: 1

[sumofallreds]

It is a treasure chest...

[Wait. That word. It's come up before. Momotaros had made sure to emphasize it.]

You're Asakura....ain'cha?

Re: 1

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura freezes in place for a second, and now he just looks wary.]

Do I know you?

Re: 1

[sumofallreds]

Your Rider 'friends' have mentioned you.

[Friends used in the most loose form humanly possible.]

So. You as dangerous as they make you out to be?

[So...of course...with any warning...Marvelous must poke it with a stick.]

Re: 1

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura has to grin broadly at that. "Friends." Of course. He's sliding the Deck out of his pocket.]

Oh, I'm probably worse.

Re: 1

[sumofallreds]

Really?

[Did we mention the stick? It's pretty pointy bout now...]

Not seeing a whole lot of it.
