Kingdom in the Skies

[Public | Voice]

A plane race, huh? That's what I'm talking about! The other pilots had better look out, 'cause there's no way the great Sun Ce is missing out on this one!

[Delighted whooping!]

This whole assassination thing... I don't know. We weren't in Bellcius, sure, so there wasn't much we could have done about it, but I... I feel like we failed anyway. Like the whole military did. We're supposed to protect Ivona, and the things important to her, and just a year after the Kropmork thing went down, something like this happens? And we're just sitting around, doing...what, exactly?

We should have been able to do more. We should have done more. If we can't protect something so important, how are we supposed to keep Ivona's people safe?

There's got to be something more we can do...

I'm gonna go out and fly. Need to get my mind off this.

[SNORING!]


[OOC: I hiatus, and a plot happens. S-sob ;A; We'll say Sun Ce got Sleep'd early, and has been passed out in a hallway near his quarters ever since \o/]

Hey, Gongjin! I've got a few things on my mind...You got time to talk?

So how long are we gonna be sitting around here? Not that I don't love Bellcius, but there's gotta be someplace else for us to be!

Heh, I'm getting a little restless, I guess...I think I'm gonna go for a fly.

Seras, didn't I promise to take you out in the plane sometime? Let me know if you wanna go today!

[OOC: Ffffffft, I fail so hard, it's been ages since I updated this journal. OTL, I'll be better in the future, bb's...]

I'm seeing pretty much the same thing as Falco-- We're definitely in the right place, and it looks like there's three entrances. There aren't that many guards, and most of them are clustered around one of the gates. Doesn't really seem to me like they're expecting company...

Finally, we're up in the air again! I was starting to wonder if we were ever gonna get out of Bellcius... I mean, it's a Hell of a town and all, but a ship's no good stuck on the ground forever!

I think I'm gonna go up on deck and stretch my legs. Anyone else off duty and want to hang out?

Man, it's just been one party after another lately! I'm glad we were in Bellcius for the Long Night season--they just don't know how to celebrate everywhere else!

I'm in a great mood. Anyone feel like a spar or something?

I know we've hung out at the parties and all, but it doesn't seem like we've had much chance to just talk since you came on board. Want to come over later on, catch up, talk about old times, that kind of thing?

The party sounds like a good time, but ceremonies have always been kinda boring for me... I know the point of them's not to be interesting and all, but still.

Falco's getting promoted, though, and since he's a pilot too and all I guess I should show up. Zhou Yu, you coming too?

[Private to Self | Hard to Hack]

I'm really glad Gongjin is here now. It was boring without him, and I feel a little better about Cao Cao and our political enemies when I know I'll have him at my side. Things are looking up...Heh, I knew they would sooner or later!

Looks like we might be in town for the Long Night...well, that should be fun! I'm sure at least one of my friends in town is throwing a party...probably a lot more than one, really.

Before that, though, there's this whole ceremony thing. I can't say I like dressing up too much, but at least it won't be too hard here...and a party's a party, right? No reason it can't be a good time!

I come home and visit my family, and the first thing I hear of is this? Liu Biao is dead. It's...It should be over. I ended it.

But... I don't know. That paper brought up some things I've been wondering about for years myself. Why were the investigations called off so quickly? Why would Liu Biao act against Father when he stood to lose so much from it? Who else could have wanted Father dead that badly...?

...It's true that Yuan Shao ordered Father to go and meet with Liu Biao...

...I have to find out the truth. If he had something to do with this, he's not going to get away with it.

[Cheerfully] Back in Bellcius, huh? Well, while we've got leave, I'm gonna go visit my family a while...if anybody needs me, I'll keep the journal with me, okay?

Seras, thanks for the help back in Melior!
