Mystery Dungeon Rp/Story

Derek-" No, I'm not doing well. None of us are. How are you still alive up there?" =/

*Glai points to his holstiered Phase Pistol.*

Glai-"Anyways...I know you wanted me here for a reason. Let's hear it."

Derek-" ...You beat them off with a toy? I wanted to speak to someone who could think. I want to figure out a solution to our problem."

Glai-"This 'toy' took me two years to invent. That's nearly half my life. Now...the demon situation?"

Derek-" Not the demon situation, the darkness situation. I don't like it... everything's dying. We'll all run out of food eventually if there's no sun."

Glai-"Yea...I've been researching this, but I can't find a way to eliminate this darkness..."

*His ears droop.*

*Derek reaches down and holds out his hand for Glai to take. He's wanting him to sit in the tree with him.*
Derek-" Think I might have come up with a way to slow down the deterioration of our food supply."

*Glai holds out his paw.*

Glai-"How so? I'm living off the food replicator on my shuttle."

*Derek pulls out an old map from when the world was normal and holds it out in front of them. He points to a large valley near where their cave is.*
Derek-" This. It's not too far from where we are now. If we can clear out the demon nests in there, find some way to cover up the entire valley, and give it some artificial light, we can use it to grow all of our own food. Soil will wear out within a year, but we can hit that problem when it comes. Right now, open area with artificial light is our main concern. Geothermal heat could help us power it all.... but we can't do this alone. The ARK doesn't exist anymore out there... nothing does. No stars, no sun, nothing. Everything outside the atmosphere is gone. That means all my resources are depleted... which is why I'm asking for your help."

Glai-"I'll help you. My supplies are in my shuttle. I'll run back and fly it out here, then I'll stay here. Is that okay with you?"

Derek-" Yeah, but we need to figure this all out."
*He hangs his flare above his head on a tree branch.*
Derek-" What are we going to cover the valley with? Has to be STRONG, to withstand demon attacks... yet remain unnoticeable so they don't actually WANT to attack it. Valley will be our secret."

Glai-"Duranium hull plating? Easy to synthesize."

Derek-" But is it strong enough to withstand the weight of dirt and demons sitting on it? You also have to remember all of the hurricanes that come through here. Those create another problem..."

Glai-"It's the strongest armour in 2030."

Derek-" Oh lord, more time talk."
*He rolls his eyes and hops out of the tree, taking his torch with him and walking back to the cave.*
Derek-" Just hurry up and get it all down here. Grace, you, and I can discuss it in a more pleasant setting."

*Glai sighs, nodding.*

Glai-"Okay, Derek..."

*He starts walking back to his shuttle.*

*Derek quickly walks back in and picks Grace up by her sides, giving her a big smooch while smiling.*
Derek-" Things might be looking up for us Grace. I've gotten a bit of help, and we're moving into an area where your specialty might help. You any good with flowers, veggies, or growing things in general?" ^_^

*Grace giggles.*

Grace-"Yea. I can garden."

*Some honey drips from her Gracadias.*

Derek-" Glad to hear. Glai and I will be working on a hidden valley for the next few days. Could you chain Serenity up for me and make her dig a REALLY deep hole for us to use geothermal heat through?" ^_^
*He's hugging the life out of her again.*

x_x

Grace-"...Yesss."

*The honey drips onto Derek's arms. More like he's hugging the honey outta her. ^^*
