EPONA + AMALTHEA

[soulping]

[You land in a boat in the midst of the sea. The boat itself is simple enough, with only two embellisments; a masthead in the shape of a pair of horse and goat’s heads, and a clunky-looking cannon sitting right in the middle. Fog surrounds you; you can barely see past the edge of the boat.

There are also a collection of rather sparkly Epona and Amalthea-coloured cannon balls at your feet.]

...My apologies. We cannot get to 3 from 4.

We can only get to 1, 2, 5, 7, and 8.

They cannot actually get to 3.

[ SURE HOPE YOU'RE NOT ASKING ME FOR HELP CAUSE I'M BEING A BRAT RIGHT NOW. ]

[goodbyenurse]

[Nope just waiting for the response regarding this thing.]

[If you're not gonna chime in I'm not gonna make you.

[gandere]

[ SORRY YOU ONLY WANT ANSWERS FROM IDIOTS. ]

Hmph.

[goodbyenurse]

[Well duh. I can outthink the smart people. I can't outstupid the dumb ones.]

Something wrong?

[gandere]

[ Really trying her hardest to understand your intentions without offending her teammate further!!! ]

Lots of things. Like how we've yet to hit them for starter's.

[goodbyenurse]

Neither side has hit the other, and even at best possible odds it is a guessing game.

[acemedium]

...Five? [Gonna look over towards you, Schooler]

[gandere]

And what reason do you have for placing us in the middle?

[ Maybe... time to see what Belt sees in her replies? Come on teammate, don't let her down. ]

[goodbyenurse]

[...I don't want to chime in but...]

I was asking her where to shoot, not where to move. I am thinking we should stay here this turn.

[gandere]

[ Sheepishly looking away with a red face.

So she's proven she's not even paying attention anymore. What a pain. ]

Like I said before we need to draw them into a trap or else we'll never figure out where they are. Staying in the middle like this and firing into it is only going to keep us firing aimlessly!

[goodbyenurse]

And how are we going to trap them?

[gandere]

Draw them into a corner somehow? It'd be easier then, but...

[ Frowning. ] There's no way to do that without risking a hit ourselves.

[goodbyenurse]

We cannot force their movements.. we can only fire once per turn.

[gandere]

We could if they weren't moving... [ Like a snake. Slither, slither. ]

[goodbyenurse]

I doubt they will ever not move. I am actually moderately certain they would not consider not moving.

[soulping]

[your cannon fires into the distance...

but from your left comes an answering shot, and there's a resounding SPLAT as you're hit with a ball full of sparkly purple paint.]

[acemedium]

..Ack! They got us! And they're on 4!

[goodbyenurse]

They stayed on four?! [I UNDERESTIMATED THOSE BLASTED SNAKES.]

[YOU ARENT NEARLY AS DUMB AS I THOUGHT.]

[acemedium]

They'd probably keep moving. We just need to figure out their movements!

[gandere]

Knowing them they're likely just picking a number at random and going off sheer luck!

[acemedium]

...Yeah, that seems like Takshaka....

[acemedium]

They were on four, weren't they? I think they'd move from four to five so they could get around easier.. instead of going to a corner.

[THINK LIKE A SNAKE]

[goodbyenurse]

Five it is.

[gandere]

[ Just going to go ahead and cover her ears.

It's because of the shot being fired in the area they're in, totally not to drown them out or anything. ]
