Questions About the Ship

[shadowmods]

Just creating a public place where players can ask questions about the ship and see the responses that others get. Feel free to ask anything you like, but be warned, the answer may end up being "Do it IC and I'll tell you what happens."

I would also like to clarify a question that's been brought to me a few times, just in case anyone didn't see the answer:

Regarding property damage to the meadow, it is players' choice how much their individual homes get damaged, however, Claire (Glinda-mun) has been given final say over the castle and has ruled that it is still intact.

Okay, *cracks knuckles* I have a few.

1. Can Anakin move the ship with the Force? (Or, will he encounter the same thing when he and Obi-Wan tried to move the shuttles in Gebo?)

2. Is the white stuff from the engine (now dissolved in the water) dangerous? What would it do to someone if they came in contact with it?

3a. Can Kitty Pryde (discussed already with Emily, Kitty's Mun) phase Anakin through the ship's hull? (If no, just skip the rest of the questions.)

3b. If yes, what would Anakin see/encounter inside? Are there parts inside the ship that could be replicated with magic to help build a new engine?

This is all I have for now.

1. Anakin would be able to turn the ship, using the Force. However, he will find that it simply refuses to move any closer to the shore. He can also lift or submerge it with the Force, but the second he stops concentrating on it, it will return to its current depth. If he were to lift it into the air, the cockpit would be visible, but there are no windows or doors and it's held in place only by a beam too thin for a person to squeeze through. As if only someone who can travel by shadows could get inside.

2. Depends on how much contact, really. As time goes on and it dissolves into the water, it becomes less and less potent. If someone were to, say, drink the water right by the engine chamber or lick up some of the last powder, they would suffer symptoms similar to mercury, lead, and radiation poisoning. Due to the nature of the setting, however, it won't kill anyone.

3a. Kitty's powers do not work on anything of Nysgod design, which includes the ship. Of course, being new to the setting, Kitty would not be aware of this at this point (although mun should have been informed at character acceptance). If nothing else, attempting to get in and failing could be a fun, character-developing thread.
