~"It's gone for a reason,
So leave it be"~

Era thought for a moment. "Ehh. Yes I do. Though I took main roads to get here. And you really aren't dressed for running, so I guess I'll carry you on my back," Era said as she began to pick the girl up.
Rethinking of how to take back roads to return to the ship, she took off. Stopping every now and then to hide and sneak, she got them back to the ship. As Era approached the ship, she put the girl down and got Gumball off of her. She noticed that Lok was still on top of the ship with the drunk laying by his side. "That damn drunk never got Lok inside! Idiot!" Era said angrily.
She made her to the top of the ship and grabbed Lok. Carefully working her way down with him in her arms, leaving the drunk on top of the ship. "What's the code to get on the ship?" Era asked.

Sonoshee merely watched the feline from where she stood, curious to why it was so set against what she had pieced together. Then again there was still a possibility that she was wrong on her facts. She could be missing something crucial. However her thoughts on the matter really couldn't be voiced. She did not wish to be lured into being fooled. She had information and if this feline beleived her to be a threat, she was sure to attempt to convince her other wise. And she would not fall into something like that, be that gullible. No... she had been raised to trust her minds chioces. Thus... she would not speak much further to the feline, at least on the matter of whom blew up the Embassy as they had. And quiet possibly could have gone about starting another war with the world.

Her mouth parted as if to retort to the cat one more time, but found her self falling silent, her gaze slipping to the new voice. Her gaze widening ever so slightly at the figure. A tall, rather large blue lizard man? She merely stared at the being for a period of time for a moment. How interesting. Sure the broken common tongue was a bit of a challenge to understand a bit, but it wasn't too bad. Not only that, this being was rather fasinating all around. Wasn't something she was used to seeing that was definately for sure. As he spoke she merely listend to his words for a period of time. He was... confronting the cat about something? Wait... this lizard man... he looked oddly familiar.

However as the cat chimed up again her gaze slid to her. Her gaze narrowed a slight bit at her comment. Innocent until proven guilty. Yes... she could understand that very well. However like the cat said it was the Human way. Not the feline. However the cats warning had her arching an eyebrow at the black cat for a moment. How interesting. "Im sure to keep that in mind. Now then, you might want to go before that so called human way back fires on you kitty cat." She voiced lightly from where she stood, in a sense giving the cat a chance to flee. She wouldn't have been able to move properly in her current attire as it was anyway. If the lizard man wanted the feline he would have to take her down himself. For she would be of no real use.

Gumball
● THE OTHER ½ ●

"Cat no leave, now." The lizardman swung his foot, Gumball absorbing the hit with a barrier she threw up, getting sent into the air, letting out a growl as she tried for a psy-shock, but it seemed that the human woman's circlet was jamming up her senses. She curled up and used what energy she could muster up to teleport to the ground, landing on her feet and scurrying between the lizard's clawed toes, a hiss escaping the man's throat as he whipped around and slashed at the cat, Gumball too fast and too small a target to hit, "Bazshbe get cat eventually. Tell psychic man that he cannot run to edge of universe!"

"Right. We'll just have to make due with this galaxy. Till we meet again, egg-sucker." The feline laughed, sprinting into the brush and pouncing up a wall and clawing to the ledge before hopping over the wall. She was a little dizzy from using so much of of the integrity of her psych, but stopping now would only hurt her pride. She had to get back to the terminal and meet up with the rest of their crew before they were put on lockdown. It would take at least another hour before the media would be able to broadcast and gather enough info to post things up on the universal net and bounty hunters would also be on their asses.

The feline arrived at the terminal, sneaking through security checks. As long as she could keep the samples she collected on her fur, she'd be able to analyze them using the ships computer; Life would have been perfect if she had thumbs, but she had to do with careful psionics. She guess she hadn't been that long after Era, seeing the woman and the others at the entrance of the ship. She sighed, seeing Lok was still unconscious, or maybe he was just pretending at this point in order to be handled by women.

"I got this, ladies." The cat said before letting out a loud meow, the door opening and welcoming "Madamoiselle Gumball and Esteemed guests" onto the Rumba. Wherever the smelly man was, he'd have to return eventually, but it wasn't much of a concern to her. He seemed more like a liability than a dependable shipmate. "We'll be launching in twenty minutes. Hopefully, I'll be able to get my plan in order. The damn idiot'll need to wake up for us to get anywhere. "

Meanwhile, with Sono + Bez

"Krkrshss! Cat run away." The man had scratched his claws against the stone ground and turned to Sonoshee, giving a bow, "Excuse for vulgar word, Ixythil-lady. Bezshbe is officer and should know hold vulgar in lady presence. Ask lady to be escort to station and give report on ssheesing Krismiknal."

The reptilian let out another gravelly hiss as he tapped at a vocalizer that was hooked to his scale near his neck. It seemed to have been cracked, albeit from the cat's attack before. Annoying critter. Would have made a good snack after they had gotten a testimony and a trial. Bezshbe pulled out a com-link and typed into it, showing it to Sonoshee.

I AM INSPECTOR BEZSHBE. YOU RETURN WITH ME TO STATION TO GIVE EYE-WITNESS REPORT, PLEASE... GLAD MR.IXYTHIL'S DAUGHTER IS SAFE. PLEASE FOLLOW TO MY CRUISER AND WE GO TO STATION TO SUBMIT REPORT. WILL RECEIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SUSTENANCE AFTER.

[Mysteriouspoison]

Sonoshee merely blinked watching the interaction between the two with a mild interest, seemingly taking a step or two a side when action became apparent. In a sense she did not want to be hit by some miscalculated attack. Her hands lightly resting over her harp as she merely watched them interact. It was interesting to say the least. The lizard man really did wish to get a hold of the cat for some reason. Sure she could understand a talking cat that happend to be on the shoulder of the man presumed to be the one who set off the bomb. Would indeed be a valuable asset to the investigation. But... smaller size offered more mobility and speed than the larger lizardman could apparently keep up with. Thus, the cat had fled before the lizard could capture her. Poor thing didn't seem to pleased about that either.

However the bow caught her by surprised. She did not believe the lizard man would be able to produce such an action, or even know of such polite greetings. But she in her own well mannered state of mind bowed in retort to his action. Straightening up a short amount of time later in order to watch him from where she stood. However as he began to speak she found her head tilting to the side a slight bit. She could understand parts of it, but there was some serious information missing on the matter of what the reptile man was attempting to tell her. However when the com-link was produced she leaned forward to peer at what it stated. Give an Eye witness report. However as her eyes hit the factor of her last name her gaze widend slightly as she leaned back. So... it seemed she was still recongized by some.

"Very well, lead on Inspector. I shall do my best to help you with your investigation on this unpleasent event. However I do not hold much to offer on it. Just a bit that I pieced together myself. It could be wrong." She voiced lightly from where she stood, her hands moving the harp to the front of her being to lightly hold it within both her arms in a wrap around like fashion. In a sense it was better protected infront of her than her side when she was walking. Medical attention was a curious thing all together. She had not thought about seeking medical attention after being flung back from the blast. Her gaze gave a general once over of her person before merely returning to the Bez. Though food would also be nice, she hadn't eatten lunch to say the least.

BEZSHBE GRARKSHF
● Intergalactic Inspector ●

EVIDENCE IS EVIDENCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.. He displayed, pocketing the device and escorting the woman off to a parked cruiser outside the gate, forensics people already starting to file in and spread out amongst the crime scene to collect their evidence. Helping Sonoshee into a large blue airspeeder before entering it himself and taking the controls. The repulsors activated and the craft floated up into the acceleration zone and checked the flight path before they we pushed back gently into their seats, the speeder flying through the air and joining into the main traffic stream, shifting as needed so they could access higher speeds.

The GUN station was a curved building with white walls and glass windows, the pair slowly entering into the garage space and touching down in one of the slots. Once again, the lizard went around the vehicle to open the door and help Sonoshee out. gesturing her to follow him. inside the main building, they went past the main hall, various convicts, lawbreakers, and offices scurrying about the floor below. Bezshbe's office was located in the central block, a small office able to fit him behind a desk and allow two other people his size to be seated before him. He reached into his drawer and pulled out a box, several other communicators like the one he had been wearing showing signs of damage. He gave grimace before tucking the one he had into a slot and marked a date on it. Taking out his com-link, he set it in a dock and typed at his lightboard.

BEFORE WE BEGIN, I SHALL OFFER YOU A SOCIALLY OBLIGATED BEVERAGE, HOT OR COLD. SELECTION IS MANDATORY. He allowed for Sonoshee to make her choice at a display that was on the screen and turned to prepare the drink, serving it to her in a plain white cup with various handles, probably to accommodate several other species needs. He began to type and pressed a button, WE WILL NOW BEGIN THE INTERROGATION. IF YOU FEEL YOUR RIGHT HAVE BEEN VIOLATED OR WISH TO SIGN A CONSENT FORM BEFORE CONTINUING, PLEASE MAKE REQUEST WITHIN 7 SECONDS...SIGN LIGHT SCREEN TO VERIFY SELECTION. THANK YOU. YOU MAY BEGIN SPEAKING AND THIS CONVERSATION SHALL BE RECORDED FOR DOCUMENTATION.

Era walked into the ship with Lok in her arms. She kept silent as she followed the cat to the bridge. Carefully, she placed Lok in the captain's seat. "Boss man. You need to wake up," Era said as she snapped her fingers.
He seemed unconscience still. Grabbing him by the shoulders, she began to shake him. "Hey! If you don't wake up within the next five seconds, I'll call your time of death and happily begin to eat you!!" Era shouted at him.
Though nothing happened again. Era took a deep breath. She raised her hand and smacked Lok across the face.

[Mysteriouspoison]

Sonoshee merely blinked at the words chuckling lightly before starting after the man. Yes she supposed he was right. Evidence was evidence, even if it was small evidence that was of little use or no use at all. Thus she followed him off to his cruiser to say the least pausing to allow him to open the door before she slid in. Old habits died hard so it would seem. Though she did have to admit it was odd to be sitting in one of these, figuring she had never done so before. Always well behaved and well mannered, drilled into her head at a young age. Even the feel of being pressed back against the seat was slightly different in this airspeeder. Yes... this was something she would certainly have to keep on the down low from her parents if she ever did return home some day. But overall it was a rather peaceful little ride to the GUN Station.

Her gaze rolled around slightly taking in the sight of the GUN building before slowly stepping out when the door was opened for her, and like before she followed after the Inspector. However the mere walk through the station itself was a slight bit unnerving with the loud noise, rude guestures, fowl language, something she hadn't really had to face before. A mere reminder that the world wasn't all flowers and daisies like she had hoped when she had been younger. But she continued to follow after the lizard man as they made their way to his office, taking a seat in one of the chairs before the desk before placing the Harp in the chair beside her, tilting it just so it would stay right. Her hands then moved to carefully smooth out the attire that rested over her legs.

However she found her head lifting slightly to look at the lizard man as he spoke out once more. A drink? Mandatory? She couldn't help the small amused little chuckle that slipped past her lips. "If you insist." Once she had selected her so called drink she accepted the drink from Bezshbe and settled back into her chair once more taking a small sip every now and then. As he began to speak again she merely listend intently from where she sat. "No that will not be necessary." She voiced lightly upon the matter of the violation to her person. "Very well... I saw a man earlier when I was playing within the lobby. He looked a bit out of place within the building to say the least, and that cat from earlier was on his shoulder. I lost track of him due to my playing. However later on I saw him once more, this time he winked at me, and continued out of the building. Shortly after the man left the upper floor of the Embassy exploded, before a second explosion happend outside. I was thrown to the ground, before I could recover someone dragged me out of the building and put me on the bench. But... thats all I can really tell you. I can only assume it was the man I saw earlier, due to his actions and his misplacement in the Embassy. I apologize I cannot be of much more service to this investigation." She voiced softly raising her cup to take a small sip of the fluids within.

Listening to the man, Alicia kept eye contact and nodded as his story progressed, she let out a soft gasp when he explained why he had been fired, she didn't know there were women like that. "That must have been awful, I'm terribly sorry that happen to you Mister Zeran-Shu." she told him, tucking a loose strand of her behind her ear. '...and now I get to cook with a beautiful girl...' there he went again, complementing her looks. Sheepishly hiding her smile she put a hand to her chest, "That's the third time you've complemented me Mister Zeran-Shu, am I really all that beautiful?" whispering the last part of the question her smile began to fade, the beauty didn't belong to her, it belonged to Alice, she was simply borrowing the face to please her late father. Slowly sinking into a depression, Alicia forced a smile and wondered now if she should walk around in her battle form, it perhaps that was her true looks? Alicia began to over think things, making her smile begin to falter but before she let it, she asked a question to change the subject, "So, where do you live Mister Zeran-Shu?". She couldn't think of anything else to ask, but she was truly interested. She didn't have many friends and those she did have where all acquaintances of her father's and Alice's so she had never truly made friends of her own.

Well, that was strange in Zeran-Shu’s opinion that she seemingly seemed fine with the praise, if a bit humble, but then all of a sudden after she noticed that he had commented on her beauty for the third time, she had then deflated and seemed a little depressed, and Zeran-Shu had to wonder if he had done something wrong, maybe he was only supposed to compliment her twice and if he tried a third time she automatically got depressed? No wait, that sounded kind of stupid even for Zeran-Shu’s luck, and he had met an Enzeiabuias who hated it when anyone used any word that rhymed with orange… because in other languages the word for orange could and would rhyme… but not in his language and not in human basic either… hy that Enzeiabuias hated that word Zeran-Shu didn’t know, but at least it was consistent and not something as ridiculous as someone who you could only compliment a specific number of times before your compliments ended up making them feel worse rather than better. Oh, wai, she was interested in where he lived… that was strange, only that stalker daughter of his ex-boss had been concerned with knowing where he lives, and it wasn’t that special, it was just a lousy small apartment near his job because he couldn’t spend hours trying to get to his work, and now that he was fired it didn’t matter, hell Zeran-Shu had nothing of value back at his apartment, and if by some strange twist of fate he ended up having to leave this planet in a short period of time and being unable to get back to his apartment, there was nothing he would miss because Zeran-Shu kept all his necessities on him… Arnelian technology had something that acted like a backpack on steroids, which could shrink to something small enough to fit in your pocket… but Zeran-Shu had gone the extreme and tampered with his Exzeez-Tennanon, the direct Arnelian name of the device, to make it essentially an Exzeez-Tennanon on steroids, which was funny considering people already considered it insane in how it could store things almost like magic, and well suffice to say Zeran-Shu would never have issues with carrying capcity. But in any case, Zeran-Shu was not even likely to keep his apartment, now that he had a new job opportunity he would probably need to move again, and looking at Alicia, Zeran-Shu waved it off and said, “Nah, it’s nothing special and it’s too far away from here to get to, especially as we have something to get to… right? So where is this place we have to go to, and what specifically is the event you’re catering for?”

Running ahead, she stood in front of a tall white building, it was more of a skyscraper, it had one of those fancy key readers as well as a number pad for a key code. Spinning on her heel she slightly bowed with an innocent smile, temporarily forgetting about Alice, "This is me, and today is my birthday". Digging into her bosom, she pulled out a silver card, swiping it she heard a soft beep telling her to then enter the key code, Sticking out her tongue playfully, she turned around, shielding the number pad with her left hand as she entered the pin number with her right. Another soft beep indicated that the door was now unlocked, walking through the automatic doors, she stopped to wait for the silver haired man, placing the key card back in between her breasts.

"....Ooooow! What the heck was that for?" Lok mumbled his hand reaching up to his cheek and his visions still a little hazy. His head hurt and he still could smell something awful, but a couple coughs caused the smell to go away. He started to become familiar with where he was: the Rumba's bridge. He looked around dumbly, Gumball hopping into his lap then scaling up his torso, looking into his eyes to link them. It took several moments for the half-argent to collect his and Gumball's thoughts. He raised a hand, setting it on the cat's head, pulling out a tiny fragment of a crystal, "Alright, so we're already assembling. Not everyone is aboard yet, are they?"

"I advise you to take off and forget about them. The less people we have involved, the better off we'll be. We're not going to be innocent in the eyes of the law. With how the Argent are, I wouldn't be surprised if they'll shoot and ask questions later." Gumball hopped off the man and started towards her seat, already beginning to access the controls to warm up the ship.

"Heck no. We' can't handle the ship alone. Besides, I'm the one that allegedly committed the crime. I can keep everyone from getting involved and you can run business as usual." Lok said getting up from his seat and wobbling, "Just gotta find myself a fuzzy who'll take me in and get the info before it blows up in my face."

"Ugh, you're just stupid, Lalok! I won't be able to run things if they kill you, not to mention I lose control of the ship. I'm a cat, they don't give us licenses!" Gumball hissed, only getting a shrug from Lok, who was walking out the door, "Get your a** back here, Lalok!"

"I'm the captain, my word goes before the lieutenants." Lok's voice echoed, the black cat letting out a furious howl. Lalok had decided he'd first get his crew to the Rumba before sending them off.



ANNOUNCEMENT: Please wrap up your current convos and prepare for a time skip! Those who will join the Rumba's Crew, please go to the OoC thread and state so as a confirmation. Else, you may either be a bounty hunter or part of Argent forces after the Rumba. Thank you and hope you'll enjoy the beginning event.

Zeran-Shu Zyrax-Shi

Wow… that was seriously hot what Alicia just did with the key card in her bosom, that action was seriously a nifty thing that girl with ta-tas like her could accomplish, and Zeran-Shu’s mind wandered to think of what else she could fit between those things, and a bit of blood began to drip from Zeran-Shu’s nose, whom noticed the blood and then quickly wiped it, before following after Alice, wondering what this place was… “Oh wait, it’s your birthday?! I’ll have to buy you a present… anything you want in particular?” Zeran-Shu tried his best to refrain from making a sexual comment, he had just met the girl, unlike most horn-dogs he actually went through the effort of forging a relation with a girl he intended to sleep with, it was a mutual partnership in the cases of girls that didn’t want commitment but wanted companionship: he offered a person by their side for however they wanted and for as long as they wanted, and they repaid with favors of the sexual variety, and by this clean and fair trade Zeran-Shu could happily eliminate the lack of friends and the need for sex that rose up both in once. Although strangely… it was different with Zeran-Shu, maybe it was because Alicia just screamed ‘innocent pure virgin’ to him for some reason, and Zeran-Shu did not like to act as a virgin-breaker – he felt bad whenever he ended up taking a girl’s virginity, simply for taking away something special, even in how things ended up with him, he still considered a person’s virginity precious – and also… something about Alicia stirred up something in Zeran-Shu… although it might just be her busom…

Era watched as the cat and man argued. Once Lok had left she sat in his chair and bowed her head. "He's an idiot. If he is arrested, they will come and take the ship. Meaning no ship for you, and no job for me," she said with a sigh.
She closed her eyes and leaned back into the chair. Opening her eyes, so she could look at Gumball, she smirked. "Alright, cat. You're my superior. Give me an order and I'll follow it through. For example, make sure the boss doesn't die or something of the sorts," she said.
Stretching and yawning, she waited for Gumball's commands.

Alicia walked to Zeran-Shu, grabbed his hand and pulled him inside, "You needn't do that Mister Zeran-Shu, we've just met and it's enough that you're helping me with preperations!" she pouted walked towards the glass elevators, pushing the button with her gloved finger. Rocking on her heels, she hummed quietly, taking side glances at the man. She hadn't realized how impulsive she had been today, randomly agreeing to let a complete stranger come into her home and help her cook. Hearing the ding of the elevator, Alicia got on and pushed number thirty-eight. "Thanks again for offering to help me Mister Zeran-Shu, I was already running a bit late so you're really helping me out here..." she thanked him adjusting her grip on the basket she held.

"Hmph, if we're going to get that idiot back, we'll just have to track down these people down and bring them here. It's better if we make him feel secure that people are on board and just take them with us. " Gumball grumbled, looking to Era, "I'll stay with the ship and listen in on the police scanners. Take one of the com-links and I'll contact you through that. It'll be easier than talking through Lok."

► LOK ◄

The man stopped by a small cache, pulling out a pistols and slipping it into his jacket pocket, shrugging to get a feel for the new weight on his chest. He closed the panel and started towards the main port to return to the terminal. "Lessee, if I can do this right... I might be able to track down my own business cards. That was pretty smart of Gum to add trackers to our cards...bit expensive. Let's see.. Ah, got it." He looked over his com-link and a small compass pointed him in the direction of Zeran-Shu.
