[You’re escorted onto your ship by a stern-faced looking assistant, and without any warning whatsoever, it rolls its way up the ramp and launches into the air… Enjoy the view, because without any regard for the laws of science, the ship continues to climb. And climb. And climb.

Welcome to space. Soon the ship is sailing on the suddenly literal sea of stars, and the ship even has a deck to admire the view from. The only acknowledgment that space might be unsafe is the fish-bowl bubble helmets available inside… But you don’t need those to breathe the refreshing space air.]

Re: Introduction.

[untamedwing]

Rabbits seem to be quite popular for our team.

Though.

[Tilts his head thoughtfully.] Torchic, that's what Fia is, is supposed to be able to use fire offensively.

[Maybe it is.]

You look lovely, at least.

Chapter I.

[witchesandscores]

[ Before you know it, a voice rings out over the radio.]

“SPACE HEROES! THE MOON PRINCESS NEEDS YOU! Those evil, green-skinned aliens have whisked her away to their strange, levitating space city and you’re the only people who can save her in time--

Captain --- --- Rush your starship to -- Don’t-- Space pirates-- hurry!”

[ Unfortunately, right after this crackling radio announcement rings out over your spaceship, the SPACE STORM arrives. Lightning crackles all around, and the stars grow dim beneath roiling dark clouds.

But that’s not all. Above even the boom-roar of the weather, you hear the ominous creaking of black sails: A PIRATE SHIP is bearing down on you, cannons visible, and a rough voice over your radio DEMANDS YOUR SURRENDER. ]

I don't know if rabbits would be very useful, though, unless we needed to eat a field of carrots.

...I never understood what kind of bizarre chicken Fia was. Think that's an option?
