pls))

((Revising the applications, I can say that we would probably leave Fillipk the Rock behind, not paying any attention to him due to him being a rock, and put down Reynard the Blade [Wolfkit] because he would be a constant threat to out safety and well-being.))

((Figuring out Reynards intentions would take a while IC, that's right. But chances are he would make them apparent very quick, and from there I just projected the events that would follow. As for the Rock, well, how would we even know he is a reincarnated soul like us? He is a rock for chrissake.))

((If that's the case, then you could put it on board to bring it to the engine spirit, so that it can check if it's another engine spirit and then if you figure out it isn't toss it on board and forget about it. There, IC possibility found.))

"New place! Hahah! I knew following you lot was a wonderful idea!"

Do a victory lap around the warbeast and survey the ground carefully. Descend progressively closer while performing examination. Be prepared to dodge evil beasts.
The ground is fluffy and undulating, it frankly looks more like the surface of a cloud then solid ground, but the war beast seems to be walking on it ok. Though its feet are sinking pretty deep into stuff.  At closer ranges the stuff looks more like cotton candy or some kind of very fluffy foam; like the ground is covered in fiberglass insulation. Hmm.

- Engine Spirit, can you walk us to the nearest stationary building in sight? Also, do you recognize this place?

When done listening to the answers given, John stands up from the driver seat and heads to the platforms, talking on the go:

- Flamengo, please watch our right. Hyenakles, if you don't mind, watch the left. Maybe grab one of them bows, or a rifle.

Is it cold? When I saw that thing looking like snow, I immediately wondered if it's cold out here. If it is, John would find a big enough piece of cloth in the pile to wear as some sort of cloak.
John puts helmet on and ties a sword in its scabbard to his belt, then gets on the open platform and observes the sky above and structures ahead.




Hmm, come to think of it, that may have been a poor idea. If there was an inhabited area right beyond there, you might have just killed their leader and now you're driving a war beast in. Hmm.
((Boy, wouldn't that be something? I mean, that's the best entrance ever.))

"I can, and I don't. I don't think this place is a heaven though. I can't sense any god here."

It's not cold, in fact you can't feel anything. It's so totally agreeable as to be imperceptible. Odd.

You get armored and armed; the helmet could use a bit of extra padding around the back, but it should function.  The structures resemble elongated polygons which are either embedded in the ground or floating above it. Their surfaces are smooth and unremarkable, but you can see what look like openings on the long, flat facets. From a distance, it looks as though they might be covered in smaller crystals or maybe a rough reflective surface: they sparkle as though coated in glitter. There are things moving between them, floating. They don't seem to have wings, so they must be flying by some other means. Judging by the uniform size of the little floating specks, you're gonna guess they're hellborn of some variety. Or should that be Heavenborn? Hmm.

Grab a rifle, and watch the left.
Done and done.

"Can do, baby!"

See if I can't quickly fashion a strap to keep myself from falling off from some of the clothing that's strewn across the warbeast. Then take my rifle and watch our right flank.
You manage to do both, though the first you only do crudely.

>Haast (Corsair): wenk wenk over to Hyenakles with a box of ammo for his rifle.
Penguin helps!

Take Wizard Viagra Stopping when literally everything and everyone tells me I'm incapable of doing something ain't gonna stop me from doing that thing! Power of spite! Believe in the me that believes in myself that believes in fuck those guys Imma fire a fuckmothering fireball at SOMETHING by the end of this!

Somewhere other than the warbeast, of course.

[3]
Nothing. You need more power, clearly.

Believe in the blunt. Believe one of my cigarettes is a blunt. Or, failing that, believe Xan's plant is super cannabis.
[4]
One of your cigarettes now seems to be slightly shorter.

Curse the universe and its love of stupid wordplay.

See if I can scratch off some of that lovely fiberglass insulation with my vulture claws and store it in my mysterious storage space. Be prepared to take off if said insulation poses any serious threat.

John squints his eyes in fruitless attempt to figure out what is that glittering stuff exactly, sighs and mutters:
- I would kill for binoculars right now.
He turns away from tall polygons and gives short instructions to Engine spirit, then turns to the others:
- Newsflash: engine spirit says he senses no god here, there's that. We're still in territories unknown to him. I spotted some airborne creatures, so keep an eye on the skies as well. Now, unless any of you express some interest to this place, we will be moving on. Or should we try and do something about those... let's call them buildings, for convenience?

Ask Engine spirit to walk the Warbeast slowly among the buildings, heading generally away from the wall of fog we through which came here. Continue observation.

Keep covering right flank, also make sure to check the skies.

"Airborne creatures, you say?"

Scan the horizon for flying things, and be ready to aim a shot if need be.

"Gah, need to make more people fear me first I suppose. Tarmac, if you want drugs take a leaf off my plant."

Observe the inhabitants. What do they look like? If I have to wait for more detail until we get closer, so be it.

You scratch some up. It's more like cotton than fiber glass to the touch, but has a strange moist texture to it.

John squints his eyes in fruitless attempt to figure out what is that glittering stuff exactly, sighs and mutters:
- I would kill for binoculars right now.
He turns away from tall polygons and gives short instructions to Engine spirit, then turns to the others:
- Newsflash: engine spirit says he senses no god here, there's that. We're still in territories unknown to him. I spotted some airborne creatures, so keep an eye on the skies as well. Now, unless any of you express some interest to this place, we will be moving on. Or should we try and do something about those... let's call them buildings, for convenience?

Ask Engine spirit to walk the Warbeast slowly among the buildings, heading generally away from the wall of fog we through which came here. Continue observation.

"Between." The engine spirit repeats, sounding slightly annoyed.

The warbeast trundles on until it has come quite close to the buildings and is preparing itself to move among them. As it does so, several of the flying things, now much more visible as what appear to be Large albino Serpents, take notice and fly down toward you.

"No way baby, this place is depressing. Let's go somewhere colourful and groovy!"

Keep covering right flank, also make sure to check the skies.
"Airborne creatures, you say?"

Scan the horizon for flying things, and be ready to aim a shot if need be.

There are several very large...sky...snakes...coming in. You hold off on shooting for the moment.
"Gah, need to make more people fear me first I suppose. Tarmac, if you want drugs take a leaf off my plant."

Observe the inhabitants. What do they look like? If I have to wait for more detail until we get closer, so be it.

They appear to be 15 foot long, albino boa constrictors that are flying via unknown means. As they get closer, you can see what appear to be almost completely translucent wings sprouting from them. The wings have a very slight amber or gold hue on their edges, and it is only this and their interplay with the light that lets you see them. Each snake seems to have several large pairs of these wings.

- Hold your fire!

John says so, but his right hand already lies on the pistol handle. He whips his left arm forward, open palm facing the creatures, and shouts out to the approaching avian serpents:

- Creatures of the realm! We mean no harm, be not confused with our look! We are merely passing by!

Negotiate with creatures first. Should they attack us disregarding our effort to talk to them, start firing at them and tell others to do so.
