theairlock | Beep Beep we're going to Sparby's

Once everyone's in the dick limo and they've watched the Fantasy Sweet burn down behind them (dodging the flaming debris once the pressure builds up enough inside to make the whole thing go nuclear), it's off to the nearest fast food planet.

Which...is about five lightdays away.

Luckily for you, you have your very own Personal Artistic License to keep you entertained. So PAL bounces around the back of the limo, sitting in every lap that will have him, as he tells the story of Kip from the day he hatched as a tiny, impressionable smeet to present.

Sparing absolutely no detail.

Especially about the part where Kip failed his navigator's exam because he stopped at Then-Foodcourtia and crashed the ship into one of the greasy pustules that had sprouted on the planet's surface, destroying the aircraft and boiling his instructor alive in the fiery grease of hell.

So now there's a dick limo parked in the Sparby's parking lot. For anyone who had Arby's or Arby's-adjacent restaurants on their home planet... The menu's not much different. Everything meat-based is 100% beef, the milkshakes look delicious, and of course there are turnovers (apple, cherry, and chocolate).

Which... well, catch Kip and PAL in the corner shoving milkshakes and turnovers in their faces tbh.]

Welcome to Sparby's, Survivors.
You earned it.

Well, I will admit our own ship is not much bigger. I was meant for 20 bodies and a handful of interns.

...That might prove a problem--Xander, was it? I do presume we have the same goal of 'bring a bloody and potentially flaming end to the network', so if that's the case it would be far more efficient to travel together. Provided the others agree, naturally--I've no claim to speak for everyone.

Should that be the case, is there anywhere you know of that we might be able to procure a ship a little better equipped for this number?

Indeed. There is someone there that I promised to send to hell personally. And people I intend to save.

As for a ship... we haven't had much chance to earn any funds beyond fuel and food, so a... legitimate means to get one is currently out of our hands.

...

[do you see the look on this hobo king chancellor's face.]

[it's the look of 'i fucking called it'.]

I think that will be markedly less of an issue once we find avenues through which to sell a few things.

We looted the mansion quite thoroughly.

[hope you weren't trying to keep that on the down-low lord arby's]

...Perhaps be a little less straightforward about that, Arianna.

[eh, fuck it.]

Oh! Of course.

[Back to Xander:]

We were able to find a large stockpile of valuables in the process of destroying the mansion.

...

[Shiva bless you, Arianna, you're doing your best.]

Good. Anything they left behind deserves to go to a better cause.

It's just like being an adventurer again.

...Nice.

[HER SECRET SPACE PIRATE AU IS TOTALLY REAL NOW]

Indeed. Between Dame Queenie and Lord Ardyn's abilities we were able to take nearly everything.

[POSSIBLY INCLUDING THE FROZEN SUGAR???]

[it looked important so he definitely took the frozen sugar]

[BLESS YOU, LORD ARDAD]

I wish we could've done that! You can't steal things from a simulation, after all - but we did end up with boxes of weird shipping t-shirts that got us a decent amount of credits. Thank God the SurvivHeir ones went quickly...

...you had shipping clothing?

J-Just t-shirts? But it's creepy, you know? To have people following you and insisting you get together with someone else without care or concern for your own input, or...the fact that you might be a real person?

I... am well aware, yes. Sir Kip had a list of "ships."

Do not ask Rii-san about it.

Well, goody for him.

[She still can't believe y'all ADOPTED THE GREEN MAN]

I have honestly had enough of "ships" and "shipping" to last a lifetime.

We are in agreement. ...and I would recommend against allowing Sir Junpei and Dame Nari to learn of these T-shirts.

We only kept one kind of t-shirt, but it didn't have anything to do with shipping. It...was something important to us, that they'd turned into a marketing ploy. It made me so angry, I...I snapped, a little. Sort of. So now it's our symbol.

[And she'd share it, too, but the poppies...will they mean anything to Round 2?]

Your symbol...

[She certainly understands the importance of such things in a desperate situation.]

I would very much like to see it, if I may.

[His smile grows, but he has the decency to hide it behind his laced hands]

We may... have some connections that could help sell 'authentic airlocked memorabilia'.

[decency is for people who aren't the former antichrist]

It's possible that I'm carrying half of anything that looked valuable and some things that didn't. Queenie likely has just as much on her. As long as we aren't careless and get rid of it as quietly as possible, I think that may quite literally pay off.

...Also, as far as food goes I may be holding the entire kitchen.
