Babysitting Weapons of Mass Destruction

[gorgeous_sin]

WHO: Lust, Sonic the Hedgehog, Ira, Sheena Fujibayashi, Vincent Valentine, Selphie Tilmitt
WHAT: Cid has assigned various heroes to guard the remains of the Ultima WEAPON that were salvaged after their battle. Suspicious people try to sneak close, but they fail to be caught.
WHEN: September 11th - 13th
WHERE: Aqures Ixen - 12th District


Here sat the broken pieces of the enormous machine known as the Ultima WEAPON. The Heroes had gone through a lot of trouble to secure it, and even more trouble to subdue it. Now it sat sadly in a heap of wreckage at the airship ports, with few visitors save the occasional Hypello or dock rat.

This was what the Heroes had to guard. Prepare for boredom.


[OOC: Each Hero guard gets their own thread below. Pair up with whoever you want for guard duty CR!]

I know the feeling.

[He chuckles as well.]

Ever heard of replacement meal bars? Pretty sure I've had enough of those for at least one thousand years.

[not_most_days]

No, not something I can say I've run across. But I can imagine what they're like just by the name. I'm guessing they last a mite longer than a barrel of salted meats though.

[acceptedoblivion]

Pretty much just a lot of grains packed together with things that are just as bland. Tastes like sawdust, and can last for months.

[not_most_days]

Hmmm, I think my Brothers might be more willing to keep that in supply than my sailors then.

[Pirates or Navy, the crew of a ship would certainly revolt if the food was bad. The Assassins on the other hand would likely make good and strategic use of emergency supplies that wouldn't spoil so easy.]

[acceptedoblivion]

If they won't get so incredibly bored of only that after the second week, I'd be impressed.

[Yeah you can imagine he's seen a few of those revolts, though it was a bit different... and he may or may not have been involved.]

"Brothers"? [Because the way she said it, he's fairly certain she doesn't mean the familiar sense of the word.]

[not_most_days]

[Mary chuckles at the comment.]

Aye, they'd likely get bored, but if it was two weeks straight of the stuff then like as not that we're in a life or death situation and can't go hunting or scavenging.

The Assassins I mentioned before. They're properly known as the Brotherhood of Assassins, at least among ourselves and the more polite of our enemies.

[She frowns, pausing briefly. She's been recruiting from the Heroes in this world among anyone who is interested or skilled, but Ira's apparent age and Saori's potential reaction gives her pause.]

I've done my best to carry on our traditions and purpose here, though perhaps I've not done as well as my predecessors.

[acceptedoblivion]

Fair enough.

[The ironic thing is, if he'd come fresh from Castle Oblivion, he'd join in a heartbeat if asked. He's done it once before, after all--joining a group without thinking of the consequences. All for a chance to get back at those who would play at gods.]

Still, you're trying, right? Even an outsider like me has to give you credit for that.
