"Ah, hey!" Ebisu said when Heather collapsed. Then he realized exactly what was happening. "You never change, do you?" He looked around for a moment, trying to think up a good way to help her discharge in a situation like this. He noticed a small metal door on the floor near his feet. Looked like there was an outlet under there.<span style="font-style: italic">Hmm.. convenient.</span>Ebisu pried open the lid and drew his blade, sticking the tip into the outlet. Carefully, he let go of the sword so it's hilt would land on Heather's lap. The electricity raged toward the metal, eager to escape its confines. After a minute or so, it seemed like Heather was running out of juice. Likewise, there was a low humming noise and something felt different about the ship's movement.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">It's going slower,</span>he realized.<span style="font-style: italic">Guess we blew a fuze?</span>And at<span style="font-style: italic">last</span>he caught on. "Oh~ Is this what you didn't want to happen?" He looked around as crewmen started running around to see what was wrong and fix it. The speakers blared to life:<span style="font-style: italic">"Ladies and Gentlemen, there has been a small problem with the engines. Our engineers are looking into the matter right now and will have it fixed as soon as possible. Please do not be alarmed, this is only a minor delay."</span><br/><br/>"... Well it doesn't sound like anyone died." The damage was probably fixable... right?<br/><br/>----------------<br/><br/>Battler smiled. Snickers was obviously pleased with his efforts. "You're welcome," he said sweetly. Then the announcement blared on. "The engines are broken? Well that's not good. Hope they fix it soon."<br/><br/>----------------<br/><br/>Ijemaru screwed the back back onto his strange device. He'd done all he could with the programming for now; He'd need to run a few tests before he could do any more. Meanwhile, it seemed like their boat had stopped.<span style="font-style: italic">Engine failure? On a big, modern boat like this?</span>he thought.<span style="font-style: italic">Uhhg, why do I feel like this isn't a coincidence? I'd better make sure those two didn't mess anything up.</span>He got up from his bed and opened his door. "Don't leave this room," he commanded Battler as he hurried out the door and toward the main deck.
