The Story of a 'oomie
show spoilerhide spoiler[Page 1]
"...so... are you one of mine?"

The small 'oomie asked the question to the big, gruff ork with a hopeful inflection in his voice. After all, it would be grand (for more than one reason) if the enormous thing he found himself on was the last member of Mountain that Anson had been looking for.

Loppa's carnal features were made all the less friendly as his brow met in the center, and the split in his face that passed for lips turned down into a frown.

"Doze I'ze look lyke uh runty 'umie ta yew, ya puny git?"

It was clear now that the ork was not on Anson's team, much to Anson's disappointment. After all, there are so many advantages to having a team member that can pick you up with a large, mechanical claw and lift you high into the air. To demonstrate, that was exactly what Loppa did, completely shredding the tiger-themed jacket that Madison had already clawed up the back of during their previous tumble in the splintered wood.
"Now 'eave off uh me, or'z elswize- Wot."

With a sudden Snort of surprise something large fell on top of Loppa from above, and just at that moment with triumphant Tear and a Plop the small 'oomie's jacket tore apart and he fell right onto the floor in front of a confused ork just as alcohol and shards of glass started to rain down around them.

The Black Orc's eyes opened, they were even more bloodshot against the yellowed sclera than usual and his ruby irises had turned to pin pricks of violence.

"DOZE N'E UV U'ZE GITS 'AVE N'E EYE'DEER 'OW 'ARD IT IS TO GET DA SMELL UV STUNTY PISS OFFA DIS OUTFIT!?"
Dropped into a hole, netted, and covered in stunty piss. Loppa was not having a very good day. He huffed and he puffed and he lashed out with da klaww...

And he very nearly became a towering inferno if not for the timely intervention of a dramatic figure dashing heroically across the sky, silhouetted by the sun so that those below could only guess as to his identity.

And nothing else came down from above that day.

Little Anson, as he sat on the floor feeling the bootlegged hooch begin soaking into his jeans from the puddle dripping off of the ork, decided that perhaps it was time to take a few steps back. And so, he calmly but swiftly stood up, took a few steps back away from what was likely the little brother of the ship's main mast being swung around in a confined space, and came to the sudden realization that they were below the water line and this ship now had more holes than sails.
Expecting that half-tree to cause their vintage vessel to spring a leak any moment, he took this moment of communal bewilderment to prepare himself for that eventuality; shifting the focus of his internal energies to more closely match that of the water all around them and taking on the aspect of the Soul of the Sauna.
He was so focused on the greenblackskin in front of him that he didn't even notice that his cautious backsteps were bringing him back towards where Madison had fallen.
Because he was seated in the first 6 rows. And he was going to get wet.
