::Lillith and Shaft give the Inquisition a good once-twice-and even a thrice over until he's reluctantly satisfied::
What'd I tell you. She looks good as new.
Shaft: I guess.
(OOC: Okay Ierys, jump in. The water's fine. ::snicker snicker:: I made a joke)

"It looks fine considering what its been through, besides the best part about having something like a ship is that you get to work on it, customization and all that...I think"
::She looked thoughtful for a moment, weghing out her own words then nodded satisfied.::

((You on board the ship or outside?))
"Go to Fisherman's Horizon I told myself! Yea, brilliant move Clive, surround yourself with salt water and metal! Brilliant!"
Clive's vocal tongue lashing arouses the curiosities of the locals as he walks along the water-front, which is quite literally the entire area of floating city. When a group of fishermen, tending their nets from the mornings trek to the fishing grounds, watch him with questioning stares, Clive turns and hisses. Spooked, they turn back to their nets as if nothing happened
"Works every time." Clive's wondering leads him to the docks, passing through the various vessels in dry dock, he gazes up at their hulls and contemplates his next course of action.

In that second when Ierys bumps into Clive, there's a yelp and a bright flash of blueish light and deafening crackle explodes from Clive's staff and lanterns. Veins of electricity wash over the entirety of the docks, swallowing up the ships and spreading out to encompass all of Fisherman's horizon.
Solar panels explode, throwing glass and metal into the air. Transformers explode, wires ignite and melt, cranes loose their functioning and shutdown, some collapsing their arms onto objects and people below. Everything not grounded properly gets zapped by a powerful blast of electricity as this all encompassing electrical blast consumes the facility, it soon dissipates in the water but, not before killing a large sum of fish in the process.
Standing there, still as the dead, looking both stunned and frightened, is Clive. "This... is not good."
There's a yell as a man behind them falls from some scaffolding and lands on a pile of boxes.

::Ierys screams and puts her hand protectively over her head as things shatter and break around her. A man falls from scaffolding and screams before landing in a pile of boxes. She removes her hands and peers arund cautiosly.::
"Holy hells what was that?"

Blowing out a puff of air form his mouth. "I'm a bit volatile..." He turns around to see what happened to the poor Fisherman's Horizon. As he watches,a crane topple over onto a building, and he slumps his shoulders. "Not again... why me? Great work, Clive. Brilliant idea coming here after all, now I'm gonna be lynched. Stupendous!" He continues to ramble on, as if he's trapped in his own little world of self-loathing. Suddenly he spins around, the lanterns flinging themselves out, nearly knocking Ierys's in the head. "Hey, so you taking passengers away from here!? Like soon, as in now?" He smiles widely as he asks. "Please...?"

::Ierys winces as the crane hits the building then notices the person shed bumped into was muttering to himself:: Is he ok? ::Ierys reaches out a hand towards the stranger cuatiosly when he sddenyl swings round and she has to jump backward to not get hitin the head with a lantern:: "Uhh... You'll have to ask Shaft, I'm just along for the ride. who are you?"

"Uh, Clive, just Clive." Warily, he looks over his shoulder, making sure a large mob wasn't forming behind him. "Shaft? Shaft! Uh, where can I get the Shaft!? Hah!" He lets out an awkward laugh and smile. "But seriously, I need a ride outa here ASAP."

::Ierys frowned at his awkward manner::
"Why do you need to get outta here so fast?"
::She looked around again weighing up the posibilities then realisation dawns and she jabs a finger at Clives chest::
"Was that you?"

"Maybe..." He replies sheepishly. "But I got a brilliant idea! Lets blame the soon-to-be quadriplegic in the boxes over there! That's a brilliant idea, don't you agree!?" Clive sidesteps. "Why yes, good sir, brilliant idea indeed!" He says in a muffled, low, fake voice before stepping back where he originally stood. "See, he agrees! It's all settled then."

::Ierys blinks in surprise and then frowns and grabs Clive by the scruff of the neck so he cant wlk away::
"So what about that poor sod hmm? Who didnt do anything?"
::She shakes him a little then flicks him on the forhead with her free hand::
"Use your brain kid, act dumb and theyll blame it on the weather."

"Eeek!" He yelps out as he's shooken vigorously then winces when he's bumped on the forehead. "Yikes, girl with some fire in her, I like that!" He looks down at her hand gripping his scruff. "An don't worry about playing dumb, I'm a master of the art."
A strange tingling begins to build in Ierys's hand, like static forming under her fingertips. Clive looks down, then up to Ierys, then back down to the hand. "Might want to let go soon. Just saying!" He awkwardly laughs.

(OOC: Umm... you guys know we're posting at the Garden right?) ((-_-. you said you were moving to fishermans horizon!?)) ((ha now im not the stupid one xD lets just pretend they were then like...leave? and say were at the garden lol)) ::Ierys reluctantly let him go and frowned again.:: "I dont care what you like in a girl now just keep your mouth shut got it?" ::She hissed poking him again before saying very loudly:: "Hmm must have been a build up of static, happens a lot out at sea" Several people heard her and nodded and mumbled in agreement. the she grabs Clives hand and hisses at him again. "Power of persausion, wonderful thing, now lets get your scrawney ass outta here" ::She pulls him roughly and starts back to where Lillith and Shaft are by the ship.::

(OOC: Time for a scene transition)
::Some time later after everyone is safely back at the Garden, Lillith has Ierys in her office where she stares her down from behind her desk with her arms folded. Clive is in the back corner of the room nervously twitching and trying not to touch anything::
So explain that this to me again. You weren't really that anxious to leave because you wanted to see the Garden, but because you and our stowaway were running from some kind of trouble? And you thought it was a better idea to sneak him onto the ship and not tell me or Shaft about this because....?

::Ierys opened and closed her mouth a few times, trying to form words that didnt come. She looked back at Clive, who, annoyingly, had no support to offer her. She grinned sheepishly at Lillith::
"Because it seemed like a good idea at the time? I kinda do this thing where I dont think things through before I do them....Plus I' m pretty sure if Shaft knew why Clive wanted to get out of there, hed let him nowhere near the ship."

You didn't ask Shaft though. You smuggled him past us while we weren't looking. You really didn't think we'd notice that nearly all the food in the galley went missing?
::Clive looks like he's about to say something, but Lillith cuts him off by pointing one finger at him, not even looking at him::
You'll get your turn. Now Ierys, it's not that I disapprove of your charitable impulse, but in the future could you please tell me when you're in trouble so long as you're staying here?

As Lillith and Ierys talk it out, Clive takes it upon himself to fiddle with one of those interesting office do-hicky perpetual motion devices. As he plays with it, it suddenly collapses and he attempts to quickly fix it but failing that, hap-hazardously puts it together and steps away.
He turns around quickly. "Ah don't be hard on the girl! It was my fault, mostly, though I still question the motives behind the quadriplegic. He had shifty eyes..." Conspiratorial, his eyes narrow. "Yes... those shifty eyes..."
