Real & Half-Real: Chapter 1 - The Portal and the Plan

[unsheathedfromreality]

Who: The Committee to Rescue Illarion from His Very Stupid Mistake
What: Building a portal to bust into a pocket dimension and strategizing what to do once they get there. All extremely advisable science.
When: Early-mid April
Where: Throughout Trench, and in parts beyond it

It's been weeks since Illarion's disappearance in the fight against Leviathan, and scarcely fewer weeks since his Omen Iskierka began papering Trench with notes on his whereabouts. The shrike's friends and loved ones have not been idle during that time, and now their plans begin coming to fruition.

It's time to get him out of the nightmare he's trapped in--but first, they've got to break their way in, and they've got to have a plan.

probably cut it soon?

Sayo taps her temple, reviewing what she knows of Oscar. His connection to Ozpin, his unusual worldliness, his nigh-unbreakable composure- even though he had little to offer in sacrificing the thirteen dramatis personae, Oscar's temperament and knowledge were an invaluable asset. Something that needed intense concentration, a talent for thinking on your feet, a well of odd trivia and bizarrely specific knowledge...

A smile tugs at Sayo's lips, and she snaps her fingers.

"Tell me. How well do you think you could pilot an airship?"

Sure

[justoscar]

"...I can figure it out. I think."

There was no reason to explain how he had previously crashed an airship that had been shot down with zero casualties-- nor reason to explain how he likely did fly such a vessel in another lifetime.

"What are you thinking?"

bang, there

"Even if Nephele-that-isn't retains its odd... compressed properties, we'll still need some way of getting from place to place quickly."

Sayo crosses her arms, grimacing as she remembers that brush with death when she and Illarion grappled with the Prince of Noon; the battle that nearly rent her apart and that Illarion had sent her back to Trench to let her escape from.

"While getting it will be... a labor all on its own, there just happens to be an airship we can hijack that belongs to one of our first targets..."

Oh, she is looking forward to getting revenge.
