Episode One

PAGE 1

Fraze: OOC!Fraze confirms that it's been almost a year since the events of GW2, nine months since the events of Redemption, and seven months since he became de facto leader of Spacefleet. And IC!Fraze hates bureaucracy. (I hate writing that word.) After a long and busy day at work, he heads planetside to meet up with Hunty. I can hear the romantic music playing already.
Down in the Underdeep, mad scientist Merpo has created a device which will allow him to harness the magic of the Underdeep, thus making his task of exploring and mapping it much easier. In real-world theory, it's a good idea. However, my Trope-O-Vision says that this is a Very Bad Idea, and that Bad Things will happen from the moment he switches the machine on...

Leoness: After being absent from Spacefleet and the NTWF for a long time, Leoness wakes up in a janitor's closet. Exposition happens for her via an officer, and she asks if the position of Chief Medic is still available (while making a mental note to visit the mages ASAP).

Ninja Superior: The Ninja Superior reflects on how he's not as young as he once was. He also notices a premonition in the weather, and like any good Jedi, he has a bad feeling about this - enough for him to assemble the ninjas.

Nova: Nova is flying through Tabloid Town when he's abruptly teleported back to his room in Mage Manor. He doesn't know what's going on.

Goosh: Goosh enters the RP, but not as himself. No, he enters as Kassandra Amethyst Moonbeam, a Sue with ego problems! She wants vengeance on Hunty for, um, "being her villain". So when she notices Merpo with his machine, she decides it's time for her story to begin. *groan* Sues...

Kwoiffei (moi): In a clearing, there are loads of dead bodies. A chimera watches the latest victim die - apparently they all took their own lives because she showed them the truth about the NTWF's fate: it's going to be destroyed! *DUN DUN DUUUUUUN*
Kovaran Mokra, THE SWORD THAT CLEAVES EVIL!, is having a bath when he's interrupted by another ninja, Oncara. An awkward moment is had before Oncara says that the Ninja Superior has summoned them.

Jason-Kun: Jasor heads to the library to write a message to his brother Javerson, who recently joined Spacefleet. He's briefly interrupted when Nova leaves his room.

Rikku: A ZOMBIE PLAYING THE BANJO OH GODS GET IT AWAY FROM ME!!!11 Yeah, this post begins with Fred the zombie playing banjo, and being terrible at it. The necromancer's pet zombie vulture, named The (no, I am not kidding), heads off to find Rikku.
Turns out she's in the basement, trying to summon a ghost (I think I know who specifically...). She accidentally summons the ghost of her uncle Damien, who's also a necromancer. There's an argument. Then an earthquake hits. Rikku doesn't know what's going on, but decides it might have something to do with... THE UNDERDEEP.

Superhero Live: Cital, who secretly wants to be Iron Chef Ninja, almost loses his sandwich to the wind. He then heads to the Dojo, hoping to find some jelly.

Celestial: The NTWF's resident sort-of-not-really-villain, Celestial, is in the library when the quake hits. She heads out to investigate and bumps into Rikku.

Huntress: While OOC!Hunty talks a little about the politics of Tabloid Town, IC!Hunty arrives on her date with Fraze - and decides to ask him a favour.

Shade: Shade, Royal Envoy of Dunburrow, flies to Tabloid Town to check on Spacefleet and find where the gem's gone. But once she gets there, her demon powerz stop working, and she realises something is not right.

Tokala: Steampunk City Brassport, a prosperous city in another world, is suddenly transported to the NTWF. Rushsaw Blackstone, who is obviously important, and Athar, who is also important, agree that they have no idea what's going on, and tell Blackstone's secretary to contact everyone who works for them, and ask them to meet up at the Aerodome.

Michelle: Aly, a mage, and her cat Lika, are in the Manor eating when the earthquake strikes. Lika has a bad feeling about this. Maybe Lika's a Jedi? *brick'd*
Asta of Brassport is walking home when Brassport is transported to the NTWF. She faints.

Amnei: As proof that the Guilympics are GW canon, Amnei has developed feelings for Shade. He even personally built a gift for her: a vibroblade. He finds her in Tabloid Town - but he also finds a creature behind her. And more creatures around them. Uh oh.

--

PAGE 2

Vyt: Vyt makes a comeback! And he does so by... walking up to Shade and saying hello. Um, Vyt, you're walking right into a danger zone.

PFA: PFA-kun (wait, isn't PFA a girl?) reflects, before her kunai training is interrupted by the Superior's "Ninjas Assemble PLZ" message.
Jernath hasn't had any jobs for a year, thanks to being in a guild that no-one likes. He gives up on TV (good on ya'!) and heads into the kitchen for some chow.

Squiesh: Squiesh "Sytra" Erane is bored out of her mind. At least "Jerbear" showing up gives her something to do.

Bacon: Another comeback! This time it's from gunslinger Clint, and he's just as broke as the others. He makes the radical suggestion of getting a benefactor instead of trying to find jobs.

Omni: Ethan, now older and manlier, can't get his medical examination because two nurses who like him (no, not that way, sickos) are arguing about his implants.
Omni is playing a magical video game when she feels the earthquake, and like the others, she has no idea what's going on.

Draco: Draco-san (sorry) gets the message from the Superior and heads to the meeting.
Gil Maxwell, of Brassport, sees that the place has moved and decides to go fly around in his airship. Wheeeee!

Rider: Kienne is pregnant! You shippers may all squee now, though my Trope-O-Vision isn't sure about her or the kid's future. Kite is about as successful as ever about persuading the queen to stop loving Rane. And in the biggest plot development so far, it's revealed that the Underdeep is expanding.
Rider herself is looking for Leraye, as he captured her old friend Schzain. In a moment of complete genre-blindness, Rider goes into a strange cave... which turns out to be part of the Underdeep. And what she sees in the Underdeep...
Wait. Is this true? Is this really true? DID RIDER JUST DIE?! Shiva is in disbelief, and so am I!

Something: In one of the creepier posts so far in this RP, something is pulled into Merpo's machine... and then comes out the other side, and is free to enter the world above. And it likes what it sees. *shudder*

Fraze: Fraze asks Hunty what she needs. *prepares brain bleach just in case*
Merpo's suit deactivates from the device being turned on, and he sees his wife and daughter. His wife decides to Hannibal Lecture him. After a while Merpo accidentally reactivates the suit, but he's too traumatised to care at the moment.

Kwoiffei: The chimera, whose name is revealed to be Kwoiffei si'Larnax (the name's a hint btw), is contacted by a glyph whose speech does not have quotation marks! She's sent on a new mission, and shapeshifts into a bird of prey to fly to Tabloid Town.
In Tabloid Town, a blue-furred coati (I think you can guess who she is) is running to get back home. Then she sees a strange creature, which she finds familiar, and runs in the other direction.
Oncara's already arrived at the assembly place. He's a strict traditionalist, and very different to--KOVARAN MOKRA shows up unexpectedly, still wet. Oncara facepalms.

Sarinon: So apparently Sarn was the one responsible for the earthquake, and for pulling Brassport into the NTWF. Why? To be reunited with his sister, Sarinon.
Said sister is about to have soup when Brassport is transported to the NTWF, and recognises that Sarn is in this world. Then she's called to the meeting of Steampunk guild members.

Jina: A guy in a steampunk mech named Owen is trying to build a steampunk mouse when the psuedo-quake hits. When he's called to the assembly of Steampunk guys, he decides to go after realising he's already tested the latest version of the mouse.
Jina is fast asleep and doesn't want to wake up.

Huntress: So it turns out that the favour Hunty wanted to ask of Fraze has to do with the Blarf. Before anyone blarfs about it, it was attacked when going through an entrance to the Underdeep, and she wants Spacefleet to try and keep track of it. Big task.
Bloody Mary notices a familiar smell - and a familiar lack of a smell. It's Shiva, sans Rider.

PFA: "Jerbear" thinks that at this point, anything would be worth a shot to try and gain moolah - then the quake hits. Jernath doesn't know what's going on, like the others.

Zylaa: More proof that the Guilympics are canon: Zylaa's 300-weasel orchestra. (You say band, I say orchestra.) This weasel's looking forward to shore leave, even going so far as to wake Jina up... then she notices something wrong. The weasels are playing "Requiem for a Dream"...

--

PAGE 3

Shade: It turns out Amnei's "behind you" warning was beautifully timed, as she stabs Vyt. Whoops. Then she notices the creatures. First she deflects its claws, then she grabs her non-demonic dagger and uses that instead of her "sword-shaped stick".

Amneiger: Amnei's upset is interrupted when the creature attacks, and drops everything to defend himself by shooting light into its eyes. Bravo.

Celestial: Celes heads to the basement (after asking Rikku to come along), and shoots a fireball into the Underdeep. The fireball does nothing. Overlord starts singing "Dies Irae". By that, do you mean the Mozart one, or the Verdi one?

Jina: Jina is woken up and, like Zylaa, doesn't know why the weasels are playing "Requiem for a Dream". She doesn't even know what a requiem is. *insert hour-long lecture here*

Draco: Draco shows up shortly after Kovaran, and sits down for the meeting.
Gil gets a call that he has to come to the meeting... and instead takes off in his airship to look around.

Vyt: Vyt now realises that they're in trouble, especially after he throws a kunai at the beast - and the kunai is deflected. So of course, the only logical course of action is to prepare yourself to fight it head-on. Or something.

The Ninja Superior: Aside from not getting any younger, the Ninja Superior is also sick. Poor guy. He gives a speech to the assembled about how the NTWF is in danger once more, and how they'll have to seperate into teams, investigate what's going on (in particular, looking for anything suspicious and malevolent), and if necessary, join up with people from other guilds. Why do I get the feeling that the Ninjas are the only ones being sensible here? *brick'd to eternity*

Rikku: Realising what Celestial's trying to do (and that it's about as smart as a lactose-intolerant person eating hairy cheese), at first Rikku tries to stop Celestial... then the darkness of the Underdeep gets into her head. She realises it after a while and fights valiantly to get it out. Then she collapses. Celes, you'd better do something heroic now! *brick'd*

Superhero Live: Cital walks into the meeting room just in time to hear the Ninja Superior speak, and asks what he means by "suspicious and malevolent". Then he beats himself up for asking it. So does his katana.

Leoness: Leoness recognises the officer who found her: Scorch, who's apparently a seven-foot-tall canine. He escorts her to the sickbay, and she sees Ethan - only, because Ethan's hit puberty, she doesn't recognise him at first.

Jason-Kun: After the quake, Jasor gets an idea about what to do: send a message to all available mages. He's going off to see the Ninjas and see if they have any answers.

Squiesh: Sytra also feels the earth rumbling, but just dismisses it as a regular earthquake and heads outside to get some real food. Theft will likely be involved.

Celestial: Clearly, Celes heard me, as after hearing horror music from the Underdeep, she tries to drive the stench of it away WITH FIRE. She kinda succeeds. Then Celes tries a magical version of CPR to wake Rikku up.

Nova: Nova discovers a secret passage, which leads to a room with a fireplace. So he lights said fireplace and is rewarded with a new companion, Fyren the... tiny fireball? The two teleport back into the main hall, and realise that they still have no idea what's going on - or where anyone is.

Bacon: Clint also feels the quake, and decides to follow Sytra.

End Episode One.

PFA: PFA-kun (wait, isn't PFA a girl?)

Uhh, yes? XD; Chances are I forgot the exact usage of -kun and just went with it to make it sound vaguely Japanese. I suppose I should have double-checked my usage, but, laziness.

Anyway, yay for summaryage. <3

Episode Two

PAGE 4

Kwoiffei: Kovaran recognises the symptoms that the Superior is showing and immediately fears for his life, but nonetheless readily agrees to go on the mission. Oncara does not like the idea of working with other guilds. The latter talks down to Cital for asking the Superior to be more specific.
On her mad frantic dash, the coati almost falls over and realises she has a headache. Then she gets the crazy idea to hide on one of the ships, and decides to go there via parkour. Oh, and she needs to "get ship", apparently.

Rider: Shiva shows that he really does care for Rider, and asks where Hunty is. He needs Phoenix Down, stat!
In Brassport, Adeline Spencer is watching her dad fly away in a ship when the city is teleported. She takes it remarkably well, refusing to scream despite being a kid and instead decides to eavesdrop.

Superhero Live: Cital totally OWNS Oncara by pointing out that the panther's just being rude (and calling him "kittycat-cat")! His katana then decides to become super-heavy, which would surely give the wielder back problems. Said wielder tries to excuse it by saying it was his "inner spirit". Riiiiiight.

Michelle: Aly's been following the other mages, and tries to fight the... okay, I have no idea what they're fighting. I'll give up on even guessing. Anyway, during the fight Aly is briefly trapped in something that might have been someone else's mind, and takes her cat's suggestion to try and bar the door somehow. She does so with fire.

Ikkin: Apparently Ikkin and Sev have been in the Underdeep for months, all because Sev started acting strangely one day. Luck strikes twice, amazingly - first Sev temporarily disappears only to reappear and save the mage/pirate/knight from typical Underdeep horrors, and then Ikkin discovers Celes and Rikku's magical signatures. One leap through the burning doors later, she has returned to the NTWF! ...and wants to know what's going on.

Draco: After the meeting, Draco heads off on his own, praying it won't be the last time he sees the Ninja Superior. You never know your luck, pal.
Gil does some scouting, which includes mapping the part of the world that Brassport ended up in. At least it's still a port.

Lupehunter: A wolf hunts a rabbit (by turning into a human and killing the rabbit with a throwing knife...?). While resting after the meal, EARTHQUAKE! And the wolf decides to go look for allies.

Goosh: KAM (I'm not going call her by her full name, or even her given name) follows Merpo up the stairs, and decides to wait for him to wake up. Oh dear god, this is almost too horrifying to comprehend!
Finally RPing as his character, Goosh suggests doing the not-make-trouble thing for once, before wondering what happened to Rider. Then he sparkles.

Omni: Ethan is surprised to see Leoness again. Siber (Ethan's sort-of-dog) is happy to see her. And the nurses attending him ask for help regarding their dispute.

PFA: PFA tells Oncara and Cital to knock it off, and suggests now would be a good time to get into teams.
Jernath decides to come along with the other Mercs.

Kwoiffei: Oncara realises he's been OWNED, and decides it would be better if he went on this mission on his own. So he does. From the blatant foreshadowing at the end of his segment, I'm going to guess that this might be a really bad idea.
Kovaran gives a speech and enthusiastically agrees about getting into teams.

Moonlight: "Wilhelm Bennett, new recruit to the mercenaries. If they did anything at all, of course." (That's a direct quotation, by the way.) Mr. Bennett is reading when-- EARTHQUAKE!!! He heads into the kitchen.

The Ninja Superior: He asks the messenger ninjas to contact the ninjas who were absent. When one asks about the earthquake, the Superior is silent. When the messengers get going... he is still silent.

Zylaa: While Goosh wonders what happened to Rider, Zylaa wonders what happened to Ikkin. She also agrees to Goosh's idea, and forms the mighty, unstoppable plan of, "partying in Taboid Town up til the last minute". Weapons included. Good, because you'll need 'em for partying.

Superhero Live: Cital continues arguing with his Kitchen Knife (his katana), and decides to join Kovaran's party. Insert your own RPG joke here.

--

PAGE 5

Michelle: A very confused Aly gets the message from Jasor and then Ikkin's sudden appearance in rapid succession. She admits that she doesn't know what's going on either, but suggests asking Rikku before asking what on earth the things in the Underdeep are. Finally! We might get some answers!

Huntress: Bloody Mary gets Shiva to explain what happened more coherently, and decides to take action... his way. Rather than go back to Huntress, the Meepit gets up on Shiva's back himself, and gives the demon-horse directions. Yes, you read that correctly: a Meepit is riding a demon horse to go bring back someone from the dead. I just... wow.

Sarinon: Sarn spends ages flying, in time deciding it'd be better to spend the knight at Castle Kestrel. While heading to his room he realises that something isn't right... then heads to the throne room and discovers that it's empty.
Sarinon apparently isn't in the best condition, which worries her maid Emily. In time they arrive at the Assembly Hall. Sarinon isn't worried; her brother's coming. Surely everything will be fine, right? Right? ... What do you mean I'm tempting fate?

Angie: A guy named Hawk-Eye practices knife-throwing. Earthquake happens, and he decides to go back inside Merc HQ.

Scar: Another comeback! ...kind of. Scar is returning to Merc HQ with FOOD when - you guessed it! The earthquake hits. Boy, this cat has quite the potty mouth. And I think we can say bye-bye to the Merc's hanger hangar.
Oscar Featherstone, Gentleman Adventurer (of whereever Brassport used to be), runs away from a noblewoman's very angry husband and escapes through trickery. Of course. Then he tries to escape from the city via his airship, the Mockingbird, but it doesn't quite go as planned. (Read: CRASH.)

Leoness: Leoness gets greeted by Ethan, Siber and the nurses in turn. She decides to put her personal issues aside for the time being and get to work - as Chief Medic. I wish getting promoted was that easy in the real world... wait, no, I don't.

Squiesh: Sytra (and presumably the others) head out of Merc HQ... in time to see a new Underdeep opening. I think she puts it best: "I think we have a… bit of a problem."

The Underdeep: (Oh s--) Apparently the Underdeep isn't interested in the Mercs, but it is interested in evil people. Celestial and Rikku qualify as evil in its book, so it grabs onto them and begins to drag them into... itself? Okay, now I'm even MORE confused!

The Underdeep: No, this isn't a double-post. This is actually from the point of view of another person who's been trapped in the Underdeep for a very long time - and it's outright said that this person is THE COMMANDER. Said Commander comes across Ikkin and Sev, and sees monsters that look exactly like him... and then he's roasted to a crisp.

Michelle: Rosa, another knight, is leaning against the walls when un terremoto strikes. She heads to the throne room to find it's empty except for Sarn.
Asta finally wakes up from unconsciousness, and heads to the Assembly Hall. Because she doesn't know... go on, finish my sentence!

Huntress: Continuing with Bloody Mary's Crowning Moment of Awesome (*brick'd*), he and Shiva finally arrive at the cave where Rider died. Armed with nothing but Phoenix Down, a piece of string, and a live oyster, the duo heads into the cave, and uses the oyster to distract the Underdeep and get Rider's body out. Then Rider is Phoenix Down'd...

Celestial: Celestial manages to answer some questions, explaining what the Underdeep is before she's grabbed by a tentacle and pulled in. She tries to fight it off but apparently you can't fight Lovecraftian Horrors. Speaking of Lovecraft... where's Cthulhu?

Rider: She's alive again! Rider's naturally confused about what happened. By the way, I'm giving Bloody Mary a medal.

Jina: Jina says no to beverages before realising she's doing so.
A bunch of NPCs who are no doubt fated to die (Corenu the healer, Sarah the druidess, Patri the mage, and Halin the swordsman) finish their training for the day, and decide to go to Tabloid Town.

Rikku: Rikku's in a dreamlike state as things happen, seeing things that aren't there (since when did Ikkin have tentacles?), and then she's pulled into the Underdeep by the tentacles. She tempts fate. Fate answers.

--

PAGE 6

PFA: PFA decides to come along with Kovaran and Cital. (Hilarity Ensues! But not in this post.)
Jernath sees the Underdeep entrance and realises that something ain't right.

Michelle: Aly thinks about what Celestial said and realises that what the Underdeep does matched what happened to her a little earlier. When Celes and Rikku are grabbed Aly tries to save them - first with fire, then by shooting an arrow at the darkness. (Don't you know it's only as effective as casting Magic Missile at the darkness?)

Most definitely not unrelated: Longest guest name ever. Anyway, in another dimension, a shadowy army waits to get into the NTWF... why does this sound familiar?

Lupehunter: The wolf (now in human form) enters Mage Manor (still in Manor form), heads to the basement, and throws a fireball at the Underdeep. Um, that didn't work the first time.

Omni: An Ethan-only post, this time. Well, more like a Spacefleet NPC post. Anyway, Dr. Cürian (UMLAUTS) explains the situation regarding cyborg implants to Leoness. If Leoness is chief, it's her decision to make.

Nova: Nova and Fyren also go into the basement (it must be popular) and also shoot fire at the void.

Celestial: Some Eldritch Abomination wants Celestial to make a deal with the devil. Of course, she puts up a valiant fight, so in the end it takes a very direct approach: fill her head with horrific images and nightmares. Hey, isn't that Kwoiffei's job? No, wait... it's similar, but not the same.
Overlord realises that the link between himself and Celes is being severed, and then realises that attacking the darkness is useless. (Just use Magic Missile already!)

Omni: Now for an Omni-only post. This chimera (different to Kwoiffei, I must stress) tries a different approach in barring the darkness. While others used fire, she uses vines and turns them to stone. Good thinking, fellow chimera!

Kwoiffei: Kovaran happily accepts Cital and PFA into his party. Again, insert your own RPG joke here.
Kwoiffei spots weird creatures in Tabloid Town, and decides to do her job later, instead watching something interesting. See, things other than the mission matter!
The coati, whose name is revealed to be Nasuella Lagan (Nasue for short), realises the thing chasing her can fly, so she uses parkour across the boats to escape. The sight of a white boat (I think you can guess which white boat) distracts her, and she falls into the water.
Oh, and get this: the thing didn't even follow her in her mad parkour-ish dash across the boats!

Jason-Kun: Jasor sends the message again, hoping he'll have more luck in reaching people this time.
Javerson, the oldest of the Jason Brothers, looks for Amnei. When that doesn't work, he finds Ethan and Leoness and asks if they know where Amnei is.

Kiddo: Wait. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! KIDDO IS IN THIS RP?! KIDDO!?
*five hours later* Okay. I'm calm now.
Turns out she's in the Grey Lands, which are similar to the Underdeep but slightly different. Phoenix feather + pool of water = portal to Kiddo's room in the Dojo, apparently.
(And I just counted - this makes the thirtieth person who's posted in the thread. THIRTY PEOPLE.)

Shade: Amnei's dazzler gives Shade time to put some distance between herself and the creature she's fighting. This done she tries a different tactic: killing it with a well-thrown knife and sheer willpower. And she succeeds. But now she and the others need to make sure it's dead.

Sarinon: Long post ahoy! Sarn comes to the conclusion that he's responsible for the earthquake (and for all we know, he could be right), and feels bad about it. In the absence of King Kabe or Lady Shade, he takes on a leadership-ish role, sending messengers to other guilds (except perhaps the Mercs) to see if they're okay. The winged guy is tired, so he asks Ro to wake him when the first messenger returns. Snooze time!
Sarinon says hello to someone who just came up to her. Now, I should mention that Sarinon has eyesight problems; to me, the dialogue here implies that this wasn't always the case. Hmm...

Moonlight: Wilhem grabs a teensy bite to eat. Then the Underdeep opening happens, he heads outside, and asks the other Mercenaries what that thing is. (Hey, at least it's different to asking what's going on!)
A cat named Liyer - let me clarify, a talking cat named Liyer - wakes up from a not-very-good dream... in a fireplace. Ooohkay. The sounds in the basement catch his attention. (Did I mention he's in Mage Manor? Because he is.)

Omni: Ethan admits that he hasn't seen Amnei, but makes some suggestions--
A. Try contacting him, or
B. Get Siber the sort-of-dog to go sniffing around.
What'll it be, Javerson?

End Episode Two.

[glow=red,2,300]-kun is mostly used for boys, but can be used for girls. In the end, it sorta comes down to "what sounds better?"

Very nice summary, Kwoi. ^_^ I <3 you. [/glow]

*brings up Wikipedia*

Kun
Kun (君 in Kanji ?, くん in Hiragana) is used by persons of senior status in addressing or referring to those of junior status, or by anyone when addressing or referring to male children or male teenagers. It can also be used by females when addressing a male that they are emotionally attached to or have known for a long period of time. Although kun is generally used for boys, that isn't a hard rule. For example, in business settings, young female employees may also be addressed as kun by older males of senior status.

Haven't read a lot of this summary, yet, but I'm liking what I see so far.

For example...

Omni: Ethan, now older and manlier, can't get his medical examination because two nurses who like him (no, not that way, sickos) are arguing about his implants.

I thought someone might say/think something like that. Hehe... (Side note: One is a nurse, the other is just a scientist.)

Dec 7, 2009 18:58:07 GMT -5 @kwoiffei said:

Omni is playing a magical video game when she feels the earthquake, and like the others, she has no idea what's going on.

Heehee... That 'magical video game' is Bejeweled 2 with a touch-screen. ...No, you don't have to watch that whole video. No, that's not me playing.

[Deleted]

Quick note: Thanks for reading this, guys. I suppose it goes without saying that I put a lot of work into this (and RPing on top of that is... wow).

Episode Three

PAGE 7

Goosh: Goosh (and a godmoded Zylaa) head into a nightclub called the Saucy Elephant - it has a statue of an elephant on it. Using Goosh's sparkles, they actually manage to get up on the statue, where Goosh sings a line from... the Elephant Love Medley, I guess. I thought the musical was in GW2!

Angie: Hawk-Eye, Hawk for short, decides that coming with the other mercenaries is preferable to going back inside HQ. As with the other Jedi, he's had a bad feeling about the quake; this is confirmed when the Underdeep opening tears through the earth. Can you resist the power of the DARK SIDE?!

Ikkin: In yet another confusing post, Ikkin tries to dive into the Underdeep to save Celes and Rikku, but gets pulled back out by Sev.

Nova: Nova looks around the room to see if there's anything he can use, but all he finds is a candle. So he asks if anyone has any ideas.

Rikku: Just like with Celestial, an Eldritch Abomination tries to make Rikku strike a deal with the devil. And just like Celes, Rikku firmly says no, so the Lovecraftian thing gets into her head. We do see the aftermath, though - she realises she's in the Underdeep, and decides the whole "Deal with the devil" thing must've been her imagination. Well, it might've except something has definitely changed.

Jason: Jasor heads out to the Dojo, looking to see if there's any ninjas on the way.
Javerson makes his decision, and asks Ethan to try calling Amnei.

Moonlight: Liyer admits that he doesn't know what's going on (and that makes... how many people now?) and that he won't be much help. Typical cat.
Wilhem quickly heads back to HQ to grab his one weapon, a cane/staff/club. When he returns he notices that the UNDERDEEP is getting bigger - and closer.

Draco: While on his way to wherever, Draco is joined by three ninja NPCs. And he reveals his destination is... Mercenaries' HQ! If you guessed that the NPCs didn't see that coming, you'd be right.
Gil talks to himself, then notices that there's a purple building. So he begins to fly towards said purple building.

Michelle: Ro decides to do as Sarn asks... well, once a messenger gets back. In the meantime she's going to wait in her chambers. Why do I get the feeling this is going to take a while?
Ah, so it was Asta who was talking to Sarinon! (Me = dense.) There's more chatting.

PFA: PFA, now in Kovaran's group, gets the feeling that hilarity is about to ensue suggests the Screaming Dragon lead the way. Cause, you know, he's the leader and all. (I sense impending opportunities to use my favourite word: exasperated.)
Jernath knows as much about what the Underdeep-thing is as Wilhem does. (Translation: Nothing.) So he asks if anyone as any ideas instead.

Lupehunter: Lupehunter (is that the character's name?) tries to comfort poor Overlord, and suggests going to the library to do some research on the Underdeep.

Squiesh: Trying not to panic (at least she's not the NTWF's Shinji Ikari), Sytra offers the only logical solution: RUN THE [EDIT] AWAY!

Angie: Hawk watches as the Underdeep opening does something interesting: fire comes out of it, and then voices. Dialogue from Mage Manor, to be precise.

Omni: Omni is shaken, so her sentences aren't quite as coherent as they otherwise would be. She does think of a possible defence against the Underdeep's effects, though: a mind shield. (But if it is that simple, why didn't anyone think of it sooner?)
Ethan sends a wireless signal to Amnei's communicator... with his implants. Who needs cell mobile phones when you're a cyborg? (...now I have a mental image of Ethan using his implants to play Solitare. Mind = boggled.)

Amnei: --doesn't see anything unusual about Shade throwing the dagger into the beast's eye. (Whether that's a good thing depends on whether you're a 'shipper.) Since the nearest lamp-post is too far away to be able to properly light the thing, and there's no other nearby sources of non-flashing light, he suggests someone go and grab the lamp from the lamp-post and bring it closer.
Oh, and his communicator is in his lab. Oh dear.

--

PAGE 8

Scar: Scar looks for the other Mercs, and eventually finds them. Maybe he psychically heard Sytra's suggestion, because he makes an Arnie joke which basically runs along the same lines as "Run the [EDIT] away".
Oscar, Gentleman Adventurer, is stuck hanging from a high point by his pants. He takes the whole "not being in your world" thing pretty well, although that doesn't mean he's situation-free: the high point he's hanging from is the remains of someone else's airship. Oops.

Huntress: Rider said that Hunty killed her. Why did I say that? Because Bloody Mary reacts to it and I should've said it earlier. Anyway, Bloody Mary finds it hard to believe that Hunty killed Rider. So he tells Shiva to get himself (and presumably, Meepit and human as well) to the White Weewoo. Apparently it's a safe place in times of excessive Underdeep.

Sarinon: A Sarinon-only post this time. (I'm... kinda glad.) While walking to the Aerodome, this part-Feberi (apparently) recognises an engineer - the same engineer who spotted Oscar, Gentleman Adventurer, in fact. Now, said engineer is working for a Mr. Pennybottom (no jokes, please), who demands a fairly expensive payment for the repairs. Sarinon manages to haggle it down to a more reasonable price, and the NPCs get to work to free Oscar, Gentleman Adventurer.

The Horsemen: Okay, excuse me a moment. *FANGIRL SPAZZ!* The Horsemen are back! This is getting awesome!
*ahem* Pestilence, a former Horseman who retired years ago, gets visited by a valkyrie who asks him to return to work. Important points: Pestilence didn't know about TMC being kinda dead, and apparently Horsemen have the power to close entrances to the Underdeep - in fact, they could completely seal the Underdeep away from the NTWF if they wanted to.

Jina: Jina's NPCs wind up in the Underdeep. While the post would lead us to thinking they're possessed, according to OOC!Jina, they only think they're possessed.
Jina herself is at the same club that Zylaa and Goosh went to, annoying the bartender.
Owen arrives at the Assembly Hall.

Kwoiffei: Kovaran accidentally reveals why just saying "let's" is silly, realises he has no idea where to go on the way out, and when Dunburrow messengers show up, it's revealed that he didn't even know there was an earthquake. Yes, Kov, we know you're the ninjas' comic relief!
Kwoiffei sees an opportunity to make a big entrance and "befriend" some heroes... and messes it up with lack of foresight.
In one of my more Whiskey Tango Hedgeclippers-worthy moments, Nasue is knocked conscious and helped out of the water by a giant lobster exoskeleton. Deus Ex Machina's long-lost friend, or just a total cop-out? Either way, fate, being fate, puts Nasue on the dock right next to a certain white ship.

Vyt: Vyt takes a different approach to Shade, Amnei and the not-a-bird - rather than grabbing a light, he creates his own, then charges and pushes the dagger further into the creature's head.

Kiddo: Kiddo notices she's been gone for quite some time, so she grabs some gear, marches outside, and wants to know Whiskey Tango Hedgeclippers.

Ikkin: Ikkin makes a few corrections to Omni's Underdeep 101 Lecture, and wonders if sending in just two people might work.

Lupehunter: Lupehunter asks if the Underdeep's psycho-whatever (don't know the word) effects would affect an animal.

Ikkin: The reply is that THE UNDERDEEP can do it to anything that's capable of fear.

PFA: Jernath decides that running away sounds like an excellent idea.
PFA tells the messengers that she didn't notice any damage to the Dojo before being interrupted by the return of "Kiddo-sensei".

Omni: Ethan hears the recorded message and concludes that Amnei's planetside.
Omni points out that mind-shields might still work. She also tries to think of what the Underdeep's weakness might be: light, hope, or phoenix song?

Michelle: Aly realises she has an ego problem - which might cause trouble if she went down there. Her terms for going? "If someone can produce fears stronger than mine--something material, preferably--then we're good to go. If not... then Lika can rein me in." (Direct quotation, by the way.)
Asta follows Sarinon. After the latter successfully haggles with Mr. Pennybottom (no jokes, please), the former wonders if Oscar, Gentleman Adventurer, is a member of the guild - because that was one heck of an introduction.

Kiddo: Kiddo's all, "don't call me sensei", and gives exposition about the Grey Lands. Relevant information: strange stuff happens there when all hell breaks loose.

--

PAGE 9

Fraze: Commander Fraze (it's just as strange typing that as it is for Fraze to say that) gets serious; first contacting the Spaceflock Spacefleet Library and requesting the most up-to-date map of the Underdeep, then telling Satellite Monitoring to get satellites which can monitor what's underground, monitor the Underdeep, and stay as up-to-date as possible. It's all he can do, but man that's a lot.
Merpo recovers from the traumatising experience just enough to try and get back to work... when he sees KAM there! One Occam's Razor later, and he decides she's real and asks her for help.

Rider: With Bloody Mary and on Shiva, Rider heads back to Tabloid Town--
--and ends up in the bizarrely-named Saucy Elephant, which has furry tusks at the moment. Rider somehow sits next to Jina without knowing she's there.

Celestial: Celes, too, wakes up from the horrifying experience and realises that she and Rikku can't go back in. But they are not damsels in distress; they're going to find their own way out! ...assuming they survive the Underdeep, that is. Good luck, you two. I mean it.

Leoness: Chief Medic Leoness asks Dr. Cürian (UMLAUTS!) to show her the equipment. She also realises that something is horribly wrong on the planet (well duh), but she decides to focus on Ethan's dilemma first. She does ask him to come down with her to the planet afterwards, though.

Superhero Live: Cital finds Kovaran's not knowing of the earthquake eyeroll-worthy. Then he finds Kiddo and suggests trying to fix the Grey Lands with glue. I don't think he's serious, but you never know in the NTWF.

Rikku: Rikku also decides that she's not going to sit around and wait to die or be rescued (and personally I'm not sure which is worse). She does try to think about their situation, suggesting Celes use her mad dragon powerz, before realising she's forgotten what she originally planned to do that had to do with the Underdeep. Are you sure you weren't affected by the Abominations?

Celes: The dragon takes Rikku's suggestion about using her mad dragon powerz, and uses compressed air to blow up the vines blocking the door! On one hand, that's awesome, but on the other hand...

Lupehunter: Lupehunter realises that the stone vines are about to explode, and tells the other mages to get out of the way. He's thrown back by the force of the explosion.

Huntress: Hunty's emo thoughts are interrupted by Fraze. She realises that Tabloid Town likely isn't safe (you have no idea how right you are) but can't leave because she's short one Bloody Mary (and doesn't feel like leaving yet).
Once the Awesome Meepit returns and tells Hunty the whole story, Hunty goes back into Captain Mode. The plan is, once the crew reunites, to set sail again. There's still the question of whether Fraze wants to come along or return to the moon (this can go either way) -- and then Hunty finds Nasue on the pier, coughing and spluttering, and goes soft once more. But she still raises the good point of "how did Nasue not end up as Blarf food?"

Kwoiffei: Nasue (who's coughing up blood she's hoping isn't hers) tells an abridged version of how she ended up on the pier. But really, the answer to Hunty's question is, "I don't know".
Actually acting like a (semi-)competent individual for once, Kovaran asks Kiddo who she is and why she's here.

Angie: Hawk joins the other mercs in agreeing that running away sounds good, and so he runs.

Kiddo: Instead of directly answering Kovaran's questions, Kiddo talks about the legend of Icarus and how she's not Icarus, and tells the Screaming Dragon to watch what he says.

Kwoiffei: Kovaran doesn't show even the slightest bit of fear in the face of Kiddo's warning (although it's tempting to call her insane). He tells her that since she said she's not a ninja, he's going to treat her that way - and if she tries anything that might endanger people, he won't hesitate to kill her. Yeah, that is totally the way to talk to a crazy person!

Squiesh: Sytra is confused, glad that the Mercs have a "CHOPPA", and runs with the others.

Ikkin: --says that something's wrong with Sev; he might even be mute. She wonders who might be a good candidate--then the vines (or the door?) explode. The Underdeep happily accepts the opportunity to come back in, and the Manor's trying to fight back, so Ikkin suggests everyone try to close the doors. Not going to be an easy task, though...

End Episode Three.

[Strife]

You're doing an awesome job, Kwoif, and you want to know why? Because your summary is the only thing that i'm reading in order to keep up with the story, and despite this, I still understand perfectly what's going on. Major kudos for your hard work. ^_^

I'll probably continue to read the summary instead of the actual RP until the next time I make a post, which at this rate, won't be for a while. Too many people are posting and the plot keeps shifting in different directions. xD;

[Celestial]

^_^ Thank you so much for the summery Kwoi, for the same reasons as Strife. It is just so much easier to keep up with the RP for us busy people.

[Deleted]

Agreed. ^^ I mean, I still have to read through the posts so I know exactly what to respond to, but that's just me--this summary is me catch up over posts very quickly, while getting some laughs. ^^

[Rikku]

I mostly just read this after I've caught up to the roleplay, so I can appreciate the humour better. xD

[Deleted]

Aww, thanks, you guys. ^^ Don't want to sound too sappy or anything, but knowing that people appreciate all the work I'm putting into this helps keep me going.

(Looks like I'll be double-posting this time! Hey, it's my thread. I can do it. For once.)

[Deleted]

Episode Four

PAGE 10

Amnei: --using the vibroblade, climbs the lamp-post and gets the lamp out. See, non-combat characters ain't useless! *brick'd*

Draco: Like any good Jedi, Draco has a bad feeling about... something. But he decides to keep going to Merc HQ. Hopefully he'll see the choppa in time.
Gil continues flying and mapping, but realises his map isn't quite accurate. "Oh well, I'll fix it later." (Not a quotation)

Moonlight: Wilhem comes along with the others, and his player is the first to mention him actually getting into the vehicle.
Going against typical cat behaviour, Liyer volunteers to go in. Going with typical cat behaviour, he thinks Aly's cat is fine. Then the vines go BOOM! And Liyer goes "Ow".

Jason: En route to the Dojo, Jasor realises he might not be able to get out of the woods surrounding the place before the sun sets. So he starts to move faster.
Javerson excuses himself and wonders how to get planetside.

Jina: Jina ponders the name of the Saucy Elephant, asks the barman about elephant curry, and wonders if her drink got spiked.

Shade: While Vyt's busy killing and Amnei's busy getting lamps, Shade is busy pouncing gently on not-birds (read: shapeshifters) and asking who or what they are.

Nova: Nova decides to buy the Manor some time in its battle against the Underdeep, and does so with... FIRE!

Michelle: Watch me condense a super-long post into a few sentences: Aly is skeptical of whether Rikku and Celestial are alright. Aly thinks about the past months. Aly suggests Omni do the stone vines trick again. Aly's cat suggests everyone clear out as soon as possible.

Angie: Hawk asks Scar where the Mercs are going. He wonders if they're going to Tabloid Town, or elsewhere. On one hand, Tabloid Town is quite popular right now, but on the other hand, it's quite popular right now.

Omni: Omni says that the kind of mind-shields she has in mind (soooo tempting to make a pun here) don't require concentration. Then BOOM, DOOR, GET OUT THE WAY! *brick'd* She takes Aly's suggestion and begins the vine stage of the stone vines trick, though it's harder than it was last time.
Ëthän's Ängëls (UMLAUTS!) finally begin to cooperate... then we're reminded that Ëthän hasn't had his examination yet. But he decides to help Lëönëss anyway, since he's a bored teenager. (I'll stop with the excessive umlauts now.)

Scar: Scar does one last thing before getting into the CHOPPA himself - he heads into Merc HQ to find Scrubby, the janitor who refers to himself in third person, and gives said janitor one final order. This order is to push the Big Red Button (and it's actually capitalised like that in the post). Scar himself gets to the CHOPPA in good time; shortly after takeoff, Merc HQ explodes. The base is gone, but the guild lives on, and they're going to Tabloid Town.
I think Scar's been reading the summary, because in this post he refers to Mr. Featherstone as "Oscar, Gentleman Adventurer" every single time he chooses to mention the guy's name - just like I have!
Anyway, Oscar, Gentleman Adventurer, first calls Sarinon an angel (well, he's kinda right), then introduces himself as "Oscar Featherstone, Gentleman Adventurer" - yes, even the character does that! - and then he falls. Like a brick. But he refuses to scream like a little girl, and that counts for something.

Sarinon: Sarinon is amused for all sorts of reasons - Oscar, Gentleman Adventurer has amusing dialogue, he fell right into the net and still hit the ground with enough force to hurt his pride, and then she gets to say, "You owe me lots of moolah and your life". Only afterwards does she finally go to the Assembly Hall... wait, OOC!Sarinon's in on the "Oscar, Gentleman Adventurer" joke too!

Kwoiffei: Shapeshifted!Kwoiffei lies, saying that she doesn't have a name in the sense that people have names, but people call her Bird. For obvious (and ironic) reasons.
Oncara finally gets to Tabloid Town, riding on Cop-Out, a horse related to Deus Ex Machina. And apparently, this cat has some anger and/or arrogance problems.

Lupehunter: Lupehunter's all, "Is this your Weewoo?" to Celes.

Zylaa: At "Totally Not The Moulin Rouge", Zylaa quotes another line from the Elephant Love Medley (again: the musical was in GW2) before seeing Rider's return (on Shiva), runs into a drunk messenger from Castle Kestrel and tells him the pirates are fine, and asks Rider why she's here.

--

PAGE 11

Rider: Rider's a bit snippity (that word is cute), but she says that the pirates should get back to the Weewoo ASAP - the Underdeep is expanding. (And Rider sorta missed the other pirates.)

Celestial: The Dragon Mage finally returns to the Manor, clueless as to why THE DARKNESS just let her go. She notices that Aly is suspicious and wonders if it's not a good sign, then decides to help with the Close The Effing Door Effort - with air. The Underdeep does retreat, but only because it now wants to - Omni, quick! Rikku, quick!
Overlord appreciates Lupehunter's kindness. Once Celes returns Overlord tries to contact her with telepathy - but doesn't get an answer, nor can he feel her there.

Jina: The NPC adventurers (who are not possessed) head into an old storage room in a Tabloid Town hospital (I'm assuming a city would have more than one hospital from, you know, living in a city), and open an Underdeep opening. Then they head back out to push people into the Underdeep.
Jina doesn't quite get what's going on, but tries to make mental comparisons and asks which one is more accurate: treasure, or a gigantic squid?

Lupehunter: Lupehunter realises that something's wrong about Overlord and Celes, but decides not to tell the others just yet. (You know, the Rules of Plot say that "telling the others" is far more likely to happen after something happens where prior knowledge could've saved everyone some trouble, but I digress.) He too contributes to the CTEDE, but with a dagger instead of magic.

PFA: PFA tries to play diplomat, suggesting that Kiddo can, you know, come along with the group and help them. But she's not too confident this confrontation will end well. Since we're talking a confrontation between a crazy phoenix-lady and an eccentric regenerating stone wall...
Jernath also gets into the CHOPPA (you're probably getting sick of that joke by now), wonders if the Mages might know about it before HQ goes up in BOOM, concurs that Tabloid Town sounds good... and introduces himself as Jernath.

Vyt: Vyt is suspicious about the timing of Bird's appearance and wants a convincing explaination. And the creature is now dying.

Michelle: Asta is also amused by Oscar, Gentleman Adventurer's misfortune of falling and hitting the ground. She then asks him where he's from and where he's planning to go, because she's not gonna let him just run away. Even if she has to be in the Assembly Hall.

Draco: Draco and the three ninja NPCs arrive seconds too late (...how did they not notice the explosion?). A flaming table is fatally dropped on one of the NPCs; Draco and the others agree to go to Tabloid Town, 'cause it's the place to be.

Rikku: Rikku manages the impressive feat of walking out of the Underdeep, leaning against the wall, letting the others try and close the door, and avoiding obvious filler all at the same time.

Huntress: From Nasue's story, Hunty and Bloody Mary conclude that things ain't right, and that there's a time limit if the pirates want to play it safe: forty minutes before it gets dark. And then Hunty decides to ask Nasue if she'd like to come along.

Goosh: In the Heavily Marinated Pachyderm, Goosh heads back into the club proper and hears about there being a problem with the Underdeep. He guesses that an ancient evil has risen and it's up to the NTWFers to "restore relative peace and order to the land".
KAM gives a very Mary-Sueish introduction before giving Merpo the wrench spanner (why do I keep using American words?!) along with some suspiciously specific information, and wondering if maybe the mad scientist could help her find someone. Yes, because mentally disturbed scientists are clearly reliable!

Rider: Rider confirms that Goosh the Genre-Savvy is right, so it's time to high-tail it back to the Weewoo (as opposed to the birds). Back at the port, Rider and Shiva try to spy on Hunty, and do a very poor job of it (unless Hunty's somehow going deaf).

Kwoiffei: Not-Bird once again tries lying through honesty, telling Vyt she was watching the group fight the creature and decided to help on a whim.
Nasue realises that she's somehow been turned into a blue-furred, yellow-eyed talking coati with human-level intelligence (as opposed to the full-on anthro coati she was earlier). After being scared by what she hears, it doesn't take much convincing for her to agree to come along. So, sort-of welcome to the crew, Nasuella Lagan!

Bacon: Clint is also in the helicopter, also introduces himself, and... disagrees with the idea of going to Tabloid Town! His logic is that Tabloid Town is full of civilians, and the Mercs need fighters.

Moonlight: Another merc in the helicopter. After realising that he won't be able to get his money or books back, Wilhem joins the others in introducing himself.
Liyer is about to examine the others (to make sure they're okay?) when something odd happens and he blacks out. Show of hands - who suspects the Underdeep had something to do with that?

--

PAGE 12

Kiddo: Yep. Kiddo's gone completely koo-koo (but not like how a certain comic writer went crazy, thank god). After more crazy ramblings, she decides to follow the other ninjas. I sense potential for... MORE hilarity.

Angie: Hawk joins the crowd in introducing himself. He then responds to Clint, saying that they should find out what the Mercs are dealing with, then find allies. And that after this situation is over, they can start looking for work. (Wouldn't you need a new HQ first?) Then he asks the others if the flames that came out of the Underdeep entrance were like fire magic.

Squiesh: And I think that's all of the mercs in the chopper. Sytra doesn't even realise she's piloting the blasted thing until it's a bit too late - and they couldn't get a worse pilot. Apparently this character can't even drive a scooter golf cart.

Draco: Gil does some more mapping; he's reached Castle Kestrel by now. Then he sees a large dark shape in the sky and begins to fly towards it.

Omni: Taking the dragon's signal, Omni repeats the stone vines trick - to a point. As she relaxes, her aura-sense tells her that there is worry and suspicion in the room, but now would probably not be a good time to discuss it. The Underdeep might eavesdrop on them.
Eventually, Ethan and Siber (and Leoness) get out of the medical bay, and Ethan shows frustration with bureaucracy (I HATE THAT WORD) when he decides to hire a ship to go planetside. One signature later, he's going down to Tabloid Town (presumably) with the help of his implants.

Jina: The not-possessed adventurers begin their plan: Corenu and Halin "scout future targets", while Sandra and Patri go out and injure people, forcing them to run to the hospital - where the Underdeep awaits.

Tokala: After gods-know-how-many pages (don't worry man, I know what school can be like), Blackstone and Athar do some scouting before they finally head to the Aerodome for the speech/meeting. Now we get some important exposition: Brassport used to be in a world called Brigaia, but it isn't anymore. Neither their King nor their Mayor was in the city when it moved. The major company, Blackstone, is closing down for a week so that the people can have some valuable time to get over it - and they're taking volunteers to find out what in the blazes is going on.

Scar: Scar yells at the pilot a bit before he realises (with some help from gravity) that Sytra doesn't even know how to fly an Osprey. So he desperately begins to give instructions.
Oscar, Gentleman Adventurer is still his usual self: his pants fall down, he uses his whip as a makeshift belt, he introduces himself in a long-winded manner (the second time in this RP, even) to Asta, and quickly moves to follow Sarinon, who walked off a little earlier.

Amnei: The creature dies and crumbles to dust... except the dust is probably alive as well, as it begins moving in the direction of the a Tabloid Town Hospital. Amnei wonders if the group should try to stop it, or if they should go ahead and warn the people there.

Kwoiffei: Kovaran is reluctant to let Kiddo follow him, but he agrees. He then uses the power of Kovaran Logic™ to deduce, from Kiddo's strangeness, that the group has to go to... Dunburrow? Ooohkay.

Jason: Jasor arrives at the Dojo literally just as Kovaran makes this annoucement, and asks PFA, Cital and Kiddo if they know anything about the earthquake. Note that he apparently didn't ask the big lizard. I think it's just as well, since Kov has a talent for not noticing things.

Celestial: So right after she and Rikku got pulled into the Underdeep, and the mages then shut the entrance as best as they could, Celes announces that she plans on searching for other Underdeep entrances. Overlord flies back to Celes, and... she doesn't recognise the Weewoo. She doesn't know who he is.
... ;_; (No, really, this post makes me want to cry. Just thinking about this makes me wanna... *sob!*)

Shino: Okay, let me make sure I don't need to get my eyes checked. First the RP gets a number of people who haven't been around for a while, then Kiddo joins the RP, and now Shino is back?! Are you lousy' kidding me?! I just--holy pinecones! (I saved that spazzfest specifically for this.)
Anyway, Shino is in some town in Dunburrow, having a chat with his pal Sir Leon. They talk about such subjects as sheep, "Lady Katherine" (Kat), and whether Leon's an errand boy - and then Leon Spider Sense tingles sixth sense picks something up. So what does he sense? "We're not alone, Shino. I feel a cold hand will soon grip this land and burn it into naught but ashes."

Zylaa: When it comes to possible things to fight, Zylaa would happily take an ancient evil over the Underdeep. This says a lot about the Underdeep.
Approaching the White Weewoo, she finds Rider eavesdropping on Hunty and basically tells the Red Rider to tell the others what happened Ay-sap. Then she reports to the Cap'n that the Underdeep is expanding.

Rikku: Oh, as if Celes wanting to find other Underdeep entrances wasn't enough, Rikku says that doing it alone would be a horrible idea and decides to come along. Her thoughts are tied up more than a Gordian Knot, and somehow "a city of iron" and "a city of steam" get into them. But you know what? Internal monologues are irrelevant to the plot! And this episode's over.

End Episode Four.

[Huntress]

I usually read the summary after I've caught up with the GW itself in order to figure out the central point of all those textwalls x'D So it's nice to have it so up-to-date, yes :3

And now I'm really wondering how the spacefleeters pronounce Cürian.

[Zylaa]

XDDD Your summary is epic.

There's a heck of a lot of people clueless as to what's going on.

I'm not sure if I prefer this to when they eventually find out what's going on... and that it's the Pirates' fault. >___>
