Thanks, Celes! ^_^ I try to practice my Latin whenever I get the chance. :)
Ah, so that's FMA! *nods* I've heard of it, and I definitely see the similarities. >.>

Guild Wars II: The Summary Chapter Twenty-four Page ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-ONEMa: Celes realizes that diminishing wounds equals increasing power. Sounds like economics to me.Me: Jernath compliments Midknight’s metal-detecting abilities and says that they should find Spacefleet. Hmm, if all their base are belong to us ships are metal, this shouldn’t be a very difficult task at all….PMaK: After finishing her cat nap, Kat goes above deck and tells Celestial there’s no hope for answers or reduced mortgages.Me: Cyborg says Rose and J should look on the ground while the other tree-hop to the stars. J says, “Fine.” Rose agrees, and Midknight says to keep it G.Ne: …The fourth Horseman arrives. Me: Jernath blushes and says they’re forgetting G and going E! In other words, he climbs out of the tree.S: Fraze, arriving at the dropship, asks Zari whose army this is. Just then, something starts wiggling in his pants. …Looks like the gem’s back—his flechette gun’s gone wild.K(?): Queen Kienne, an ancient, well, queen, tells her page to fetch the Kite. *cue ominous music* Later, on The Golden Deck, when the page calls forth the demon to be put on trial, a raptor lands on The Golden Mast and turns into a man. Erm, an elf, rather, wrapped in rather stylish Ralph Lauren grey down. Regardless of his apparel, he whips out his bow and fires an arrow at…Cap’n Rane.Hunty, I shall weep with you at his grave. -_- N: Bluisa says she thinks they should go now, too. *sigh* Why didn’t she use the bathroom before she left the Dojo?P: Rane trips and the arrow hits his shoulder—and since he’s so small, he goes sailing! >.> Erm, he goes flying! Why, Hunty, so kind of you to—In any case, he lands on a mage. Um…does this mean…? Yep, I thought so: WAR!
Meanwhile, CA’s dagger (which is actually Vyty’s) lands in the Blarf, and the Blarf lands on the Beekadoodle, which falls ever-so-gracefully onto the…Golden Mast. >.> Darn, that shut ‘em up fast.
Just then, Hunty pushes the Beekadoodle off the schooner, rather than later, and ricochets from ship to ship until it enters open waters and catches wind. Unfortunately, along the way, whilst taking some misty maneuvers, it did, unfortunately, get cannon ball’d twice. Ouch.N: Cat Assassin curses. Naughty cat, take a bath! So he lands in the sea.
Meanwhile, Bluisa tries to stop the ship and tells PFA to swim away.PMaK: After removing some unsightly bloodstains from her robes, Kat tells Hunty she’s ready for battle. That is, at least, until she faints again.Page ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-TWOS: Zari probes the army and tells Fraze a short history of the long past. Just then, she asks for a plan.K: Wolf starts leaving, but Naft Ali stops him to tell him about the gem: The first gem was used to consume an ancient war between guilds, but Leraye had made a mistake: The more souls inside, the more unstable the gem, so he split it in two, but here found that every time it broke, souls escaped. Said souls became the Invisible Guild and stole the second gem, using it to start the war in which we now lie in wait…. Then, story told, Naft Ali gives Wolf the key to properly destroying the gem (they don’t know it’s destroyed yet), Ethan’s letter (no idea he’s Spacefleet), and then sends him on his merry little way.At which, I’m still flying around somewhere over the NTWF. I think I should’ve made a left at Albuquerque… S: Fraze says his flechette gun has a gem addiction, so their next plan should be to: (a) find Leraye and petition him to stop the armies, (b) find the demons, regardless of their being a non-issue by now, or (c) all of the above.N: PFA cries Uncle as she tries to swim away.Me: The Mercs fight their way through the army. BORE-ring!N: Cat Assasin swims to PFA while Bluisa raises a rock wall before the ship…which, by this point, has already swum away. -_- Poor Ninjas with their slow rates of response. :(S: Bacon says Fraze’s plan is stupid: They should avoid Leraye at all costs.…At which, is his name really pronounced “Lair-ay-yee”? Gosh, I’ve been saying “Luh-ray” this whole time. N: PFA says she thinks Hunty’s ugly. *le gasp!*P: The ship hits the wind and starts flying, massive wings spread once again!
Meanwhile, the Kite (who’s actually a Knite, not a Pirite, just to be clear) jumps into the Beekadoodle’s raptor nest and fires an arrow at Hunty and Leraye.
Over the seas and through the skies, to Sora’s stables we go! Shiva, finding my post completely incomprehensible (dumb demon horse—don’t hit me!) realizes Sora’s not there and jumps ship…onto The Golden Mast. Oops. Wrong ship. (…I rest my case. >.>)Me: Cyborg and Midknight jump down from the trees to start fighting the armies.P: Hunty commands the ship to keep sailing, so its wings disappear and stop the arrow in its tracks while flinging off the Kite, poor guy. Anyways, they keep sailing and Blarf goes after the Ninjas for revenge.Me: The Mercs keeps needlessly angering the army. If they’re after Spacefleet, they should just head into the trees and find ‘em. It’d certainly give both guilds something to do other than the [very] little that they’re doing now.N: Bluisa picks up the drowning Ninjas and proclaims that the mist is the key: If they can destroy the mist, they can destroy the ship.
Nodding as Bluisa starts firing more spell-fire at the ship, PFA summons the shuriken again and throws it toward, you guessed it, the ship. It’s going DOWN!Ma: Smithy, apparently a dark mage, and her Whoot Qamr arrive at the Manor and barge inside.A(nti)-Ma: The spear-wielding Mage flings her sword-studded staff at Rose.Page ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-THREENe(Ma? I can’t remember): Asthielle returns, eyes narrowed on Bluisa. An ally, perhaps? PMaK: Meanwhile, Kat deters the shuriken…for a time. Dun dun DUN!N: Cat Assassin leaps onto a new cloud to kick back the shuriken. Blade soccer, anyone?Me: J keeps fighting A-Ma.N: PFA attempts to drive her katana into the ship (but if the ship is weightless in water, shouldn’t the point just push it further? Or could it actually get stuck in the wood? Would this depend on the force inherent in the attack as weighted against the force necessary to move the ship, or are my intuitive assumptions miscalculated?).Ma: Overlord returns, and Celestial hides.Me: Midknight approached A-Ma, who introduces herself as Esmeralda Escarlatta, from Spain.
Rose, intrigued, proceeds to compliment the mage, and Midknight, drooling, offers her a position on with the Mercs. Esme flushes bright red and says if J say yes, she’ll join them.
Then her griffin lands, and J says yes.S: Zari says, “And you thought YOUR life was easy?” then hugs the fourth wall.PMaK: Kat deflects the shuriken again and throws purple fireballs at Cat Assassin as she calls for backup.Ma: Smithy, mage, explores the empty Manor and then sets out for the battle plain (Dagorlad, north of Morannon, if you're curious).Me: Esme officially unofficially joins the Mercenaries, and Cyborg tells her they’re looking for walking toasters.N: PFA, still flying towards the ship, throws kunai at Kat.Me: Esme glomps J, and J says his name is Jernath, Jer-nath. Hmm, this’ll make things interesting at HQ….(…Funny, I always thought glomping included vast amounts of slobber and very large mouths…) ((…You know, like the sound Gulpin makes when he swallows you in Smash Bros. ^_^)) N: Cat Assassin dodges the fire, then whips out a kunai, with chain, to stop the shuriken in mid air. PFA, do your thang! Meanwhile, Bluisa catches fire…in the worst possible way.P: As the mist repairs the damaged ship (since the Ninjas are technically still allies, their attacks still penetrate it), Hunty keeps an eye on the map while out-rigging the ship with extra sails on the sides (a la mist) so they can outrun the Ninja ship in hot pursuit.Hunty always keeps an eye on the map. ‘Tis why she wears a patch. Page ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FOURMe: Cyborg says they should look in the trees while Esme asks J to protect her. *swoon*Ma: Omni plows through the Gemarians with a bunch of rocky vines.S: Ethan doesn’t trust Zari, so he asks Fraze to take a look ‘imself.N: PFA, now reminded of Phantom Ganon (who I actually have been trying to reference since this whole thing began), throws the shuriken back at the ship. (Seriously, though, it’s not just the Phantom Ganons that do this. In almost every final battle, you’re forced to do this at least once, whether against Twinrova, Bellum, Ganondorf, or not. ‘Tis a staple of the franchise. ^_^)Me: J says, “Um. Hey!” Then the vines separate all of ‘em.P: Leste the love of her is stolen, she returns to chop off Esme’s head. =)Ma: Celes tries to make everyone stop fighting. Hey, she’s still tired!Me: The crowd goes while as Esme attacks an invisible foe.S: Fraze sees Bacon and blows up—he’s so, SO hungry! Anyways, he asks Zari to take him to the Pirates’ ship—he thinks Leraye is there. *three cheers for dei ex machina and random recollections!*Ma: Omni turns around and says, “Cyborg?” No, of course not, it’s Android. ¬_¬Me: J says, “Uhhh…”S: Oh, foshista! Zari’s clones levitate everyone (into her spacecraft maybe?) while Zari herself goes…blind? In only one eye?CORRECTION: Qamr, I believe, is the horse, while Archimides is the Whoot. I may be wrong.Ma: Smithy conjures a portal and leads her menagerie into the midsts of the shippity-ship battle.FUN: Try saying THIS three times fast! “The ship-shaped ship is in ship-shape, Sir!” N: Bluisa tells Cat Assassin that Celestial is on board, so he orders a cease fire with a side of fries.Me: Cyborg says hi to Omni while Esme calls the invisible Pirate very bad names. >.>Ne(till I recall or am reminded…): Asthielle pulls taffy (her rib cage is sore now, every time she speaks). PMaK: Kat chills the kunai and blows the shuriken. I’ll leave it at that. >.>Ne: Said forth Horsemen on his chromed-out Harley says the end is near (although it really isn’t) while the others just groan on as TMC—who replaced Pestilence when the Mages put him out of business—just prods the people below with meaningless nuisances. Meanwhile, the fighting on the Mast has broken apart and they’re all preparing to chase the Beekadoodle. I know present to you, War and Peace. P: Shiva jumps ship and hits ocean, but unable to swim fast enough to catch up to the Beekadoodle, he says he’ll share information on Leraye with anyone who saves him. Meanwhile, said demon (not to be confused with said demon-horse) drops his shield and thanks Huntress for all the good she’s done him.
The least of which is giving him a free ride away from Dunburrow.Page ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVEMa: Omni, approaching Cyborg, asks why they’re here and not being attacked by the Gemarians.N: PFA fails to return the shuriken, so it falls in the water, and then asks Uncle what they’re supposed to do now.Me: J supposes they’re not being attacked because the Gemarians are afraid of ‘ships (it certainly explains why they’re all still landlocked (^_^)/), while Cyborg offers Omni some help.Ma: Omni plays charades!PMaK: Kat asks if she can raise hell with bombs. Interesting proposition…. >.>N: Asthielle, after squeezing herself, bumps into Esme and insults her. *BLEEP* Me: Cyborg loses this round of charades, while Esme says she wasn’t insulting Asthielle, but the invisible person beside her. Yeah, right. Like she’s really going to believe that. ¬_¬N: Cat Assassin says their new mission is to sink the ship without sinking Celestial. Easier said than done, I presume?P: Rider says they should ‘ship the ship, since a good ‘ship is based on solid communication.
Meanwhile, on the clipper, Shiva bargains with the Ninjas giving him a ride: he tells ‘em how Leraye can be killed (…presumably), and they get him close to the Beekadoodle. And if they’ve got any spare cats on board, he’s feeling kind of hungry.
Meanwhile, in Gemaria, Leste taunts Esme and then trusts [sic] her cutlass through the Mage’s heart.Ma: Foreseeing the long ships sailing into the west, Celestial prophesies the end of the NTWF.N: Cat Assassin says something, but I wasn’t really listening… Oh! He said to kill is to err (and is therefore human), but since he’s a cat, he only wants answers, which when not given, can lead to violence. Ooh, very wise. >.>P: Hunty says to prepare the cannons, while the other ship holders are themselves using their cannons…on themselves. -_-Me: Esme says she’ll kill J if ghosty-whosty doesn’t go away.^ Makes a good nursery rhyme < Is busy reading the next post > Is still oft-neglected and unseen V Makes a wonderful punch line P: So the ghost said, “Kill him, then he’ll all be mine!”Ma: Celestial screams at Cat Assassin, then kindly asks him to please consider what she’s said.N: PFA says Uncle should listen to Aunt. No? I mean dragon. ^_^"Me: Jerm. ‘Nuf said.PMaK: Kat jumps into the bridge and readies a cannon. *sigh* That doesn’t sound as funny as it should. -_-I declare a re-do! *re-do granted* PMaK: Kat mans the cannon. ^_^Ne: Asthielle draws a yellow dagger at Esme. “Back off, he’s mine!” Stay tuned for scenes from next week’s episode of The Young and The Lifeless after a brief word from our sponsor.BRAIN BLEACH! Bleach your brain! Next time on… The Young and the Lifeless. J’s ‘ship’s sails freely while Hunty’s ship fires at the other ships, but which ship will sink? Will Shiva and Sora live happily ever after? Will the Ninjas ever be human? Will TMC— *static* Analog is dead.

[glow=red,2,300]It is Luh-ray, which I didn't know until the NY Meetup. I always pronounced it Lee-ray. For no reason whatsoever. XD
Awesome summary as always, Wolf. ^_^[/glow]

[shadow=purple,left,300]Oh, so that's how you pronounced "Leraye". I always thought that it was "Lee-ray". *shrug*
Asthielle is neutral, but she'll start to join forces with the mercs soon, FYI, Wolf. ^^ Awesome job with the summary as always.[/shadow]

*giggles throughout the summary*
Which goes to prove that getting a war among NPCs is mucho easier than getting a war among PCs. And on that note, I never thought of Rane as small. Tall and thin, mostly (and lightweight because of that. See, kids, eat your morning porridge, then you won't spur wars.)
...As have I. *should ask Chikkin* I wrote Bacon's line off as mock-pronuciation, though. EDIT: ...how the heck is it possible to get ninja'd by two fellow pirates? >>;
Nope, your intuitive assumptions are pretty much correct. Ships have no relative weight in water (otherwise they wouldn't float) but they do have mass (otherwise you wouldn't be able to walk on one) so basically, in order to move a ship in water, you have to apply a force that overrides the force of its mass (there's probly a scientific term for it, but I haven't been to a science class for two years). Same reason why a human is able to poke a cork in the water around, but an ant isn't.
I should stab you, but as an artist, I appreciate the effort xD
Though I feel compelled to point out that they're not my eyes. Plenty of eyes to go around, why waste my own? (Which is also why I'm able to keep an eye on pretty much everything. People who've read Pratchett and are familiar with Blind Io and his omniscient floating eyeballs: yep, more or less the same idea :3)

I think I was going between things like 'lair-ee-ay' and 'lair-uh-ray.' And yay for charades!

I didn't know how to pronounce the name at all. XDDD;; 'Cause when I read, I often kinda mentally pronounce the words I'm reading... and whenever I came across the name Leraye, it usually came out something like, "leh... lee... lee-rah... uh, the demon guy." *makes mental note to try and remember luh-ray*
As for the physics of stabbing a boat... haha, physics seem to escape my brain often in RP posts, it seems. XD; Let's just say that ninja PFA isn't a physics major was in the middle of battle, so her plans were kinda on-a-whim and didn't really make sense.

I wrote Bacon's line off as mock-pronuciation, though. It sort of was, but I really thought the name had three syllables that sounded roughly similar. My character had no way of knowing how it was spelled.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw the GWIIRP got moved to Memory Lane, and when iI tried to click the new link, it said the thread did not exist. O_O And as for the after party RP, it'd be VERY kind of you guys if you didn't start it till after this was finished. :)
P.S. None of the chapter links here work either. I'm very scared. ;_;

May it rest in peace...
