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.

Of course she was going to follow him, who did he think she was anyway?

"Dude, that's the thing. You can BE big and you can be ferocious, but a smart dude is always gonna find a way to take you down to their level. You never wanna be caught with your pants down, you know?"

She made a face. "No. What is he, some kinda big warrior in your world?"

"I was home schooled before, so it's not like I'm dumb or anything." He squints at her. Come on, he knows better than that, but being big had it's advantages too! He didn't like to admit it, but he liked to fight. It was exhilarating, which was probably why he did what he did at all with his friends back in Paragon.

"He might be. I've heard rumors but never actually saw him. He's big, and fat, and he has a sleigh pulled by eight flying reindeer. And once every year he brings presents to all the good kids. But he probably fights badguys too. Evil fairies and the Redcaps and stuff."

"I didn't say you were dumb! I was saying that sometimes, you just gotta study stuff. It makes your mind sharp, makes you think of things all different. You think I would have ever worked in a bakery if I didn't learn to not just punch stuff all the time?"

It had taken her time to even get used to the idea.

She laughed at the description. "He's big and FAT? What? Are you sure you're not making this reindeer king guy up?"

"I didn't say you said I was. I'm just saying so." But punching stuff is more fun than studying.

"You work in a bakery?" Didn't know that. "Oh boy, I just made friends with a person who cooks all the stuff I can't eat anymore." Not really sarcastic, but maybe she'll correct him and say she does make like, Quiche or something. He can eat quiche!

"Yep! Big, fat and jolly! And he's real! I know because he left me a special custom made set of headphones for me, so I could listen to audio books."

She would have to agree with him about punching.

"Yeah, I just got the job a few days ago! I can't really be some place and do something to make me look and eat and live better if I can help it."

"Huh? Can't eat anymore? Why?"

She chuckled. "No kidding! I didn't know some guy could go and do that!"

Fionna would still think of him as a reindeer king though.

He smiles at that honesty. It was true, right? Never go out of your way to eat healthy! If she's as adventurous as she says she is then she works it off!

"I can't eat it because I'm a lion. And lions only eat meat. I can't even taste sugar anymore and chocolate makes me sick." Which was the worst part about it all, but he adapted. There were some animals that reminded him of chocolate and sugar, but those were the small ones. Mice and chipmunks and squirrels. That and any processed meat.

Shadow likes this reindeer king idea. "Or what about the Tooth Fairy who leaves money under your pillow when you lose a tooth? But there are also evil ones too. And they try to steal your teeth right out of your mouth."
