EVENT: MINING COLONY V'VORTE

Who: Councilor Labismat, Science Captain Urist McEngineer, OPEN
Where: V’Vorte
When: June 4th-8th
Warnings: N/A

The Fleet stations itself near V’Varga, the more populated planet of the V’V system, but the majority of the ships are ferrying people down to V’Vorte. Mainly desert, the only things of interest on it seem to be the Mining Plains, which stretch for hundreds of miles; the Blue Circus, which lights up the nights with laser shows and fireworks; and the small town that supports the first two and serves as a small island of normality among the eccentric carnies and boisterous miners. There are rides to and from the Teuberg twice a day, in case you would rather not stay overnight, which are overseen by Science Captain McEngineer, who gives an energetic explanation of the types of metal needed when asked. Back on the Teuberg, Councilor Labismat can be found greeting the ships coming back in, checking on any progress being made.

The V’V natives are mostly humanoid in appearance, with reddened skin tones and large eyes that help them see in the dimmer light of their sun. Most of them, especially the miners, are quite friendly and seem unfazed by the variety of species the Fleet has brought to their doorstep. The only Transports who might get a second glance are the robotic ones, as the mining mechs vaguely resemble them.

Watch out, Espio! Goat stampede!

Oh, wait, there was no need for daring stunts this time. The goats stopped themselves. Every muscle in their body froze and they fell over. What could have caused this?

Francœur looked aghast. They just saw him and ran; he did not mean to do any of this! Did he kill them? He started to feel sick. What should he do?
espio: (o...kay?)

What in the world?

That was strange - goats bolting all of a sudden then falling over. Confused, Espio wandered over, looking over them, checking they were alive, before looking around to see what had caused it. He couldn't see anything in particular, so he looked over to Francœur and shrugged.

"...that was weird."

The goats seemed to have fainted with their eyes open. They were still breathing and unharmed. After a moment, they recovered and they ran far away from Francœur.

That was a relief. He breathed deeply, though it still hurt that they were afraid of him to begin with. He looked at Espio, and chirped unenthused. From his weary expression, it was obvious that he had seen this before. The amount of fainting was new, however.
espio: (okay whoa)

"What, you think it was your fault?" Espio wondered, trying to figure out what Francœur was looking so wearied by. "Really?"

He chirped and nodded once; he did not think it, he knew. He had seen that look in their eyes too many times before. The goats huddled in fear at the far end of the pen. He should go before they tried to escape. He looked and chirped at Espio one more time to indicate his intentions before he left. He did not know if he would go with him, but he would like the company. As soon as he left, the goats were no longer trying to climb over each other to escape.
