Undercover Vacation // Inguk * Vana * Rain
A trip home. A vacation. That was what this steambot needed. Lately, Inguk had been moodier than ever. Usually he was fairly chill and stoic, an over-all calm and collected guy. Ever since the accidental shut down and return, he had been having more and more mood-swings and annoying as ever subconscious temper tantrums. He had a soul like anyone else (albeit it being magically gifted to him) and these emotions were as normal as any other; which meant as annoying as any other. The funk had gotten him homesick and oddly enough unable to do work properly. A gaunlet that may have taken him half an hour to complete to perfection was now taking him four hours at the least! If taking a trip was not for his sake, at least it was for the little shits (as he so lovingly referred to the students) in his classroom
The gears had begun turning a mere few days ago with ideas of a get-away. What better way to spend a trip home than to indulge in his ultimate hobby and slight obsession: hunting for gemstones. An impromptu conversation had struck in the staff room one day between Inguk and two of his fellow professors and peers over a ‘winter break’ of sorts. An odd bunch of people it seemed, but each with their own reasons to get away and explore the Elven realm. So, after a quick word with the headmaster (and a pat on the... shoulder Inguk had assumed.) confirming it was all for educational purposes, they were to meet on the other side of the portal early the next morning. In full cloak and gear with satchel on his side, the steambot jumped in. After a swirling rush which shook the water in his tank far too much for his liking, he was promptly dropped onto a grassy patch on what seemed to be a mountainside overlooking a nearby brook. With a groan, he stood up and rubbed at his metal behind where the ground had hit before spotting a familiar face. “Ah... here already, then? Ready for an adventure?”
