What: Udder cowtastrophe
Where: Farmlands outside of Elysium
When: Mid-month
Warnings: Animal cruelty



As the farmer plods away to resume tending his fields, Shu shakes her head with a frown and addresses her companion. "That is the fourth farmer this week to report a missing herd of livestock. These aren't small losses, either. It is unimaginable that they simply vanished off the face of the earth."

Not coincidentally, Shu is currently seated atop her own oxen, who is placidly chewing on some grains underfoot.

"Let us examine the pasture. He said there were numerous markings he could not make sense of. These disappearances will be catastrophic for the small farmer if they continue and have a lasting ripple effect on the supply chain of meat. Not just for the Corsairs."

She nudges He Sheng with her ankles.

Perks of losing track of your family: you get undisputed dibs on anything you want. Cons of losing track of your family: ...Perhaps we don't need to go into detail there.

Shu stands aside and allows Donnie his brief moment of glee as she surreptitiously holds onto something. Given that she expects this is his first time truly piloting solo, it was best to be prepared for a bumpy take-off.

Below decks, there is the gentle hum of the engine and the crackling of Ether energy as the propellors begin to revolve in place.

"Whenever you're ready."

His eyes skim the console before his fingers follow to make sure each switch that needs to be flicked has been set, studying the gauge as the engine starts dispersing power. Everything looks good!

"Prepare for take-off!"

Donnie pulls a lever and grasps the wheel as the propellers reach their full rotational speeds, releasing the ship from its docked state to rise upwards.
