Plot || The Star Wars Vaikuntha Special

[hatejakku]

Who: Open
When: June 8-14
Where: Everywhere
What: The race for the crystals is on!!
Warnings/Notes: OOC Post


Crystals have fallen out of the Dream Width in a beautiful meteor shower and scattered all over the world! Due to their origins and mysterious properties, the Curti Center is interested in gathering as many as they can for researching purposes. To incentivize the public in helping out, O'aka has donated a few silver coupons to those top few who collect the most crystals. There's also a rumor that the one person (or more if there's a tie) who collects the most, wins something marvelous and mysterious~

The hunt for these crystals have taken storm across Vaikuntha and they're suddenly worth a lot. It's all anyone talks about anymore! The locals have gone crazy with it! If you weren't interested to begin with, surely the madness that is this new fad has sunk its teeth in. Besides, who knows what the crystals can actually do? Are they gifts? Curses? Dust collectors? Only one way to find out.

Klonoa frowns, canting his head slightly as he thinks. Broken pumps... that sounds like a puzzle to him. He's always up for trying to solve them. That being said...

"...I think we could try fixing it." Klonoa says, nodding to Kuja. "But, I can't do it alone if it's in water."

[acapriciousreaper]

Kuja nods. "In that case, I believe I may have a temporary fix that will allow us time to fix this pump." He turns to the shop owner, frowning. "Incidentally, I at least am looking for these crystals that seem to be so popular of late- if you happened to have one or two, I think this little service could certainly be arranged, ah, pro bono publico, if you like."

"It may be over 100,000 gil to get ush shome aid," the Hypello mentions, "but appreciate any bushinesh or donationsh you shee fit to give. And of courshe, we don't mind you looking at our pumpsh."

Then he looks up at the mention of a cyrstal. “Oh, yesh. It’sh not for shell right now, though. The cryshtal’sh the only thing we have that we know will shurvive the flood watersh.”

He then turns around and points above the shelves. Sure enough, there’s a crystal in a little glass case. “It’sh all we have left.”

> Ask what he has in stock
> Offer to help fix the pump
> Donate gil
> “THIS IS A STICK UP NOBODY MOVE”
> Leave Shop

>Fix pump

"Well, that shouldn't be too difficult, now should it?" The first and foremost thing- was to plug all points of entry, and ice was like stone if you made it thick enough. He cast [Blizzaga] first of all, forming it very carefully into a T-shaped block that would plug most of the door- but, importantly, leave an egress at the top.

"Yes, I think that will work as a stopgap measure. How many entrances into this building are there? I'll get them all and then we'll see about moving the water out."

[hatejakku]

"Oh dear." The Hypellos looked startled by this way of doing things. "Hmmm... If the presshure holdsh, we might be able to buy time to fish are pumpsh, yesh?"

The Hypellos all look at each other before throwing their hands into the air. "Thish might work, Hero! There ish only the front door. But how will the contractorsh get inshide?"

[ No options. I'm so late to this thread and this is so far off the beaten path, I'm winging it. ]

[acapriciousreaper]

"Well, as I said, it's only a temporary measure. You're going to need to get someone to fix the pump, in the meantime, perhaps lay down some sandbags in front of the door in the meantime- Klonoa, you said you could fix the pump?"

Time to go to work, for now. He casts [Waterga] now, drawing water up like a siphon and pushing it in a steady stream out the front door.
