[inferis]

[You have woken up aboard the Lewis and Clark. It's a nice, clean, light vessel and everything seems to be in working order...at the moment. Explore!]

[Hm, Jane's never met this guy before, but it's always nice to meet new people.]

That is too true. Still, I'd like to think that there'd be a bit of sense.

[staggeringego]

I wouldn't get your hopes up for this one.

[ He's reaching over to tap on the screen. ]

Any chance you know what all this means?

[cyan_maid]

Not in particular. I think I get the gist of it, though. We've been sent off into space in a ship to help another ship, inside of which is something that is unsafe and ridiculous and should be impossible. The Latin I can't make out for the life of me.

[staggeringego]

[ He's nodding, makes more sense to him than anything on the screen he's seeing, and he can't blame her for not fully understanding it either.

The Latin is a different story. He's a wizard, after all, and if there's one thing he knows it's ridiculous and somewhat mangled Latin. So at least a couple words here ring some bells. ]

Besides the fact that it wants liberation from something fiery I can't help much with that either.

[cyan_maid]

Oh! The liberation part I understood. Root words and whatnot. I didn't know it said something about fire.

[She ponders that for a moment.] You don't think something is in danger of catching fire, do you?

[staggeringego]

Unless I'm wrong about that last word. Though it has a certain fiery feel to you, doesn't it?

[ He considers her question for a minute himself. ]

I certainly hope not. There's not a lot of places to go here if it does.

[cyan_maid]

We could cross over to the other ship, somehow. Maybe? But let's hope nothing happens.

[She shrugs.] I'm not sure, maybe. Inferis, inferis...inferno, perhaps? Furnace?

[staggeringego]

Best not to get our hopes up too much on that one. I'm sure it'll all be more trouble than it's worth.

[ He's laughing at her trying to figure this out though. ]

Think we might have to liberate the furnace for them?

[cyan_maid]

[She chuckles.]

That must be it! Their furnace is under siege, and they cannot boil water until we save it!

[staggeringego]

We best get on it then! That furnace needs our help.

[cyan_maid]

Yes! For the furnace!

[Oh God, Jane, you have no idea what's in store.]

[staggeringego]

[ Neither of them do. Happy, clueless kids. ]

Best make your preparations now.

[cyan_maid]

I'll have to get out the oven mitts.

[staggeringego]

Might want to get a few pairs for all of us.

[cyan_maid]

But there are quite a few of us! We may have to resort to pot holders!

[staggeringego]

Well lets not worry about that for now. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

[cyan_maid]

Right, of course.

[staggeringego]

Though...

[ Tapping a finger on the screen. ]

Certainly good to have some idea what they're talking about here.

[cyan_maid]

Oh, definitely. You can't help anybody without information, after all.

[She'll just be skimming the screens again, keeping her eyes out for anything regarding a furnace.

[staggeringego]

Absolutely. ... Though I'm afraid I can't help with any of the rest of this.

[cyan_maid]

You can't? Why not?

[staggeringego]

Honestly I've never been all that good with muggle technology.

[cyan_maid]

[She kind of just...tilts her head a little bit.] "Muggle" technology?

[staggeringego]

[ Ah, of course he'd have to explain this one. ]

Non-magical folks.

[cyan_maid]

[Ho boy. Try to keep an open mind, Jane.]

Non-magic folks, hm? So might that imply that, where you're from, there are magic folks?
