He checked one of the many watches on his wrist. "Right about now I'm thinking. Lead the way."
Ariene nodded, her armor covering most of her body again, the unbreakable, shiny yellow material thickening around her fists and feet, making her taller and more intimidating than she already was. She started walking, easily clearing the streets with her large, bright figure.
At first the walk was silent was soon sirens rang out behind them. Sure enough, after a few minutes a group of guards started chasing them. Alexander hid stepped behind Ariene.
"I believe it's your time to shine," He said somewhat frantically. "Show them what you got."
After haggling for a short time with Ornish, and managing to sell a mechanical part, she started to hear explosions from the marketplace. This could only mean one thing.
“Tomas!” She stormed out to witness the chaos that was somehow important enough to cause right then and there.

((lmao))
"Don't move," Ariene warned, taking a couple of steps forward to leave space between her fight and Alexander. The guards ran at her, faltering at the last second under her large shadow, which gave her time to shove half of them to the ground with her side - a sharp point of crystal on her rib stabbing one of them in the chest and hooking the other three around her elbow and throwing them onto the pavement, knocking two out. One got up, his head bleeding badly, but Ariene simply stomped on his chest and he slumped back to the ground. The half that had been shoved got back up again, but they were no match for Ariene's looming figure. Through a series of punches, shoves, and stomps, they were all on the ground again, knocked out like the other three.

"What, I got bored!" He defended himself as he stuffed his pockets full of sweets. "Alexie did say to cause some chaos so…."
“Yes, because so far it’s definitely sensible to follow whatever he says.” Pennsylvania sighed and looked toward Tomas. “I’ve had my fill of gruff traders for today. What do you have there?”
"Bombs, fire stuff, candy, chemicals, other stuff." Tomas shrugged, grabbing a few more vials of candy. "Also some drugs."
Alexander stepped cautiously over the guards bodies. "Wonderful job. Couldn't have done better myself." He stood on his tip toes to pat Ariene on the shoulder. They walked back to the ship, stopping occasionally so Ariene could knock out an incoming attacker. Once he stepped onto the ship he tapped his wrist again. "I expect everyone to be on the ship in the next five minutes. Also, I can hear all of you at any time and for the love of god, Tomas don't call me Alexie. It's Captain Alexander unless we get to know each other better."
Penn nodded at the captain, a bit saddened she couldn’t explore more. She was always a bit of an adventurer. Solemnly, she trotted back to the airship, wondering what’s to come.
Ariene's armor seemed to retract back into her skin in a sliding motion, and she sat on a chair on deck with a small sigh, shrinking if only the tiniest bit. Her armor only added a maximum of five inches on her, so she was still freakishly big without it.
Aria silently grabbed a snack from the kitchen and hopped up on the counter to eat
Penn looked at the small group crowded in the airship, and decided to talk to Aria. "How's your day going?"
She glanced up at Penn and swallowed her bite of food "I'm pretty good, nothing to extraordinary happening, but good. You?" She asked, tilting her head slightly
Tomas made his way back to the ship, setting more explosions and stealing a bunch. He slipped inside and headed into his room/workspace to set stuff down before heading back to the main area.
Alexander started up the ship and they left the port just as enemy ships closed in. They could hear explosions behind them as they flew off. Alex pick up the microphone. “I know this visit was as exciting as it could have been but trust me the next one is one hell of a trip.”
Evangeline was almost scared by what his idea of “one hell of a trip” would be. She looked around for something to eat, since she was already in the kitchen.
"How exciting are we talking? Like flamethrower exciting or landmine exciting?" Tomas asked, opening up the sketchbook he had grabbed from his workspace. He wanted to use some of his new experiments.
"Like absolute insanity exciting. We have a little quest in Wonderland to find some goods. Great news for the fighters since everyone will want to kill you immediately."
"finally, wonderland! A little madness couldn't hurt!" Aria hopped down from counter and headed to the main space in the ship
“Wonderland makes perfect sense considering how mad everyone here seems,” Evangeline muttered to herself. She found an apple and started eating it.
"I haven't been to Wonderland in ages! I wonder if im still on their wanted list…" Tomas hummed, sketching a few blueprints in his book.
Mako snapped a few other absurdities at the females, though they were trying to help. Not that he really cared, being mostly a loner. So if it meant 'hurting feelings' or whatever it was humans called it, he honestly could care less. Mako didn't bother himself with things. There were times the male would slink in on something that didn't concern him. Was handy when it came to gathering information on certain things, objects, and points of interest.
His gaze shifted to the side as the Ship Master and the other few returned, leaving behind a massacre. Mako gave a soft snort, still quite annoyed about being bombarded by cans to the head. He stepped to the side, his tail seeming to disappear as well that was once behind him, propping him upwards. The male suddenly found himself no longer hungry, but hurt and annoyed. Mako knew he was gonna have one hell of a headache. A hand lifted upwards, barely touching his head, wincing at the pain.
"Stupid moving…ow…the shit I…ow…put up with…ow…"
Crimson walked over to Mako then turned and grabbed ice and gave it to him. She didn't say a word as she did so.
Ariene leaned back in her chair, scooting to the corner where she figured she would take up the least amount of space.
Alex walked into the kitchen and stared at the crew, his eyes shifting to Mako. "Who hurt the mermaid?" He smiled in an incredibly frustratingly annoying way. "Good job guys. We left you alone for an hour to start a war and you just get yourself hurt. Let's see how you do when people are legitimately trying to kill you."
She glanced up at Penn and swallowed her bite of food "I'm pretty good, nothing to extraordinary happening, but good. You?" She asked, tilting her head slightly
"Maybe a bit less good now after that announcement," Penn responded. She was not one for combat, so she silently hoped to herself nothing of the sort is ahead of her.
