Snippet #2237131

Ish smirked as both Max and Lucas made commentary towards his mutterings about the transport provided to them. "Oh, I guess I am the only one who finds it a tad odd that no better or more reliable transport can be provided than dumping us in some bus terminal and hoping we can make our way across the US in a rather short time span, find the item of value, and return it before all hell breaks loose, possibly literally, all the while praying to whatever's listening that things work out for the better, and previously mentioned thing doesn't decide to use us as pawns in some grand joke that leads to the end of everything as we know it. Yes, I did hope things wouldn't come down to that." He had utterly ignored the hushing from Lucas, of course, more talking to himself at this point than anyone else. His thoughts had returned to the group itself. An untested spawn of Barnacle Beard, a son of the god of the dead that could have very well swiped what they were looking for, a pessimist, cynic, and anti social blacksmith and engineer rolled into one, and an archer who was probably the most stable out of all of them right now. Of course trusting the future of everyone in the hands of such a team couldn't go wrong in the slightest!

Lucas and Sage went back and forth a bit on the whole Yancy Academy thing, which Ish didn't pretend that he had an idea what had gone on there. He didn't, and didn't make a comment for once, at least in that regard. The bus number, 82, started boarding and Lucas led the way, which Ish didn't particurally care about. By all means, let the one accused of theft, although if one would approach things logically it was highly unlikely, from what he knew, the boy had stolen anything, let alone an artifact of such power, lead the way. It was technically his quest after all. He sat but did not remove his backpack of gadgets, tools, supplies and what not. He muttered, breaking the silence between the four of them with a classic past time, gambling. "$5 says things start going south before the day is done." It was abrupt, and he smirked at the thought. Worse came to worse, he would have to pay but it would be a situation where it wouldn't hurt to be wrong.
