Well, it's not wrecked that badly. When do you think you'll have 'er up and running again?
|
Red Mage |
But it's still on fire.
|
Black Mage |
Yeah, the magical residue from the spells that kept this thing relatively aloft are gonna burn for weeks. So what're we lookin' at? Three, five hours tops?
|
Red Mage |
Let's see. Half the vessel is lodged deep within the earth. Ths other half is on fire. Even if I could fake the technical knowledge, I am lacking in tools of any kind.
|
Black Mage |
So... A whole day?
|
Red Mage |
Yeah, about a day sounds right. Plus or minus eternity 'cause it ain't happenin'!
|
Black Mage |
Some Red Mage you turned out to be. You must be a terrible disappointment to your whole family.
|
Red Mage |
Yes, but for unrelated reasons.

Flashback to Red Mage's Childhood
|
Red Mage's Father |
Son, I hate you because I wanted a daughter.
|
Red Mage's Mother |
Harold! You'll give him a complex!
|
Red Mage's Father |
Oh, we both know it's too late for that.
|
Back to the present
|
Red Mage |
Why didn't you love me, Daddy?
|
Black Mage |
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going to go talk with Fighter now.
|
Meanwhile, some distance away...
|
Black Belt |
Wow, White Mage. How did you ever know that the billowing tower of smoke would lead us straight to the Light Warriors?
|
White Mage |
Are you serious?!
|
Black Belt |
Oh yeah. The billowing tower of smoke part. Yeah, that's them all over really.
