endlessairship | Hallway(SFW)

I’m going to miss those boys. Bisky said quietly to herself. Gon and Killua had just left to find Ging, leaving her to descend the tower they returned to from Greed Island. I wanted to mess with them. Instead I became their teacher and friend. Must be getting soft in my age. I’m old enough to be their mother…She then rolls her eyes. No, I still put them through hell with their training. That’s good enough for me.

She reached the bottom of the tower but when she placed her hand to the doorknob, she could immediately tell, something was off. It was positively buzzing with energy. “Has this building been infused with nen?” She ponders. Knowing there was no other way out of the tower, she hesitantly opens the door. Immediately being greeted by a cool blast of AC and the rumble of engines.

Her eyes widen in shock! “A Airship?!” She steps through the door, her shoes clicking on the wooden floorboards. As soon as she is passed the threshold the door slams shut behind her. Her first instinct isn’t panic. Instead she believes she understands. “The tower must have been built with the intention of taking whoever wins the game to their chosen destination. Transporting them on a airship upon exit.” She looks out the window seeing towns and cities below. “I guess I’ll just have to wait till we land.”

*melody is crossing the hallway on her way back from the music room, where she's been meeting up with killua for guitar lessons, when she discovers a young blonde girl peering out the windows of the airship.*

another child?

*she approaches the girl with a welcoming smile.*

hello, miss! i don't think we've met before. did you just arrive here?

Yes I have. She is observes the short woman curiously. “ don’t remember seeing her on Greed Island..” she thinks.

Do you know when this airship will land? After coming out of Greed Island, I would like to see my home again.

*it’s only once the girl turns around and melody gets a better look and listen does she realize something is a little off about her. melody’s eyes may be deceived, but her ears never lie. this girl’s heartbeat doesn’t sound at all like a child’s, not fast and vulnerable but tempered with strength and resolve. it’s almost as if… she isn’t a child at all! but with no way to bring up her age without seeming rude, she simply continues to smile pleasantly at the girl.*

greed island? oh, you mean the game gon and killua were trying to play!

You know Gon and Killua? She placed her hands on her hips smiling. Then allow me to introduce myself!

My name is Biscuit Krueger! Just call me Bisky. I was their Nen teacher on Greed Island. They just left me to find Gons father not long ago.

i’m melody, it’s nice to meet you!

*she nods politely, clasping her hands together with joy at the news.*

so they made it into the game! that’s good to know.

*this is the first news she’s gotten on the future of the boys, so she’s grateful to hear it.*

thank you for training them in nen. they were hard at work on their ren last time i saw them.

…well, the last time i saw them before i got here.

Her brow furrows in confusion. Last you saw them before coming here? What do you mean? And how did you get here? I assumed this would be a place winners for Greed Island go after beating the game.

It’s strange. I came through the door then it closed and the way back was gone.

it seems to be something different for everyone. i just walked through a door at my employer’s mansion…

*she sighs, supposing she should share what she knows so far.*

but now we’re all trapped here on this airship with doors leading to all kinds of strange rooms.

*she puts a hand on her chin in thought.*

it may be some kind of nen construct, but if it is, it’s the most elaborate and detailed i’ve ever borne witness to!

Pulled in without warning? Maybe someone wants us here?

She bites her thumb lightly. If it was a nen construct I’d imagine whoever made it would have to be on board. This wouldn’t be the work of a conjurer or manipulator. It would have to be a specialist.

But as she ponders this she questions Greed Island as well. “It took several Nen users to be able to make everything work for that game. Some of the items seemed to defy any kind of logic.”

How many people are here currently?

so far i’ve met killua, his younger sister alluka, gon, and my friend kurapika. only one of them is a specialist that i know of; but his power has nothing to do with this.

*she shakes her head.*

maybe it’s someone else i haven’t found yet.

I didn’t know Killua had a sister. He never mentioned her before.

She then paused. Gon and Killua are here? That can’t be right. The name Kurapika does stick out as well. The boys mentioned him once.

You can rule out Kurapika and I know the boys abilities. What about Killuas sister?

*tapping her chin again, melody considers her memory of alluka, carefree and sweet, acting younger than she probably is, not unlike the woman she's speaking to.*

she seems very young -- i'm not sure if she knows a thing about nen.

and most likely the gon and killua here are from a different timeline than the ones you know. they said they were still taking the hunter exam when they got here, and didn't even recognize me!

Different timelines? I find that hard to believe at the moment.

She pauses. “Does this woman have any reason she might lie? If we are trapped here currently I wouldn’t think so.”

I’ll have to ask them when I find them.

*finally melody allows her smile to falter, sympathizing with bisky's confusion.*

i know it's a lot to take in. but i've been here for several weeks now with no end in sight...

I won’t give up the hope of escape. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life here..

Living trapped on an airship was a thought that upset her to no end currently.

*now worried that she's brought her spirits down too low, melody presses another smile to her face and tries to reassure her.*

i'm sure we'll be able to find a solution if we all work together! the more nen users who show up, the better our chances!
