“A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea~!”

As Avaelle enjoyed her loud and off key sailing song, the Ronimae police were gathering to take down the nuisance. What was slowing down the police was the shear fact that Ronimae didn’t have much crime and the extent of their duty was settling sales disputes. Galaxy forbid they had to deal with say, a Royal Misfit. Though Avaelle was far from being any sort of threat. Other’s would say the singing could be claimed otherwise.

“Stop miss! You are under arrest for public disturbance!” Finally one of the guards approached the drunk misfit.

“Arrest?” She swaggered on the word and thought what rhymes with arrest. “Detest, zest, mess…not very good for the song mind ye.” She looked the guard up and down. It was a small Veirk. Though drunk, she still had her senses and knew she wasn’t going to be able to talk her way out of arrestment.

“You may put your hands out in front for the restraining device, miss.”

Avaelle smiled. She at first mocked putting her hands out in front of her, but then grabbed the guard’s shoulder and hoisted herself over him, using her agile Aveln body to leap over the small Veirk. She hit the ground hard breaking into a mad dash with her arms flailing as per her odd running style.
Mey Cunningham

“Alright, then I won’t ask no more.” Mey said with a hint of pout to Will. “I’m just glad everyone made it back safe. Though…” this was something Mey was not used to. “Though Will, did you have to kill the medic?” Her face was reading worry and sadness. Death in war was not something she had to experience. Or that she had ever know someone to create it. But hearing Will talk of killing someone else disturbed her, greatly.

Commander Xhu

Xhu looked at the time after finishing a chapter and saw it was twenty minutes till to teach the class. Closing the book he got up from the chair and stretched. After making sure everything was in order, he locked his room and headed for the training gym. Early to the gym, as always, he began his warm up stretches and stances. Since no one was there, he decided to refresh a little on the Juni fighting style. He went with the third design, Thera Dance. Unlike the Cirscon movement, which relied on speed and used circular momentum for power, the Thera Dance was elegant and lighter. It’s purpose served to fool the opponent. What seemed like a left attack was actually a center attack. And what appeared to be an attack in the third parry was actually aiming in the fifth region of the body. The Thera Dance was all about trickery. Anyone watching Xhu carry out the Thera Dance would think he was performing a cross between a ballet and karate movement.
Odalia “Raven” Fitzroy

“Come on, you,” Raven almost literally dragged Luca away from his precious systems, “Gale can keep an eye on things for a moment. I don’t need you passing out at the ball... or in general.” The captain exited the batcave and started to make her way to the Mess Hall. If he did not follow, then she would go back and drag him out literally. As she walked the captain rubbed her temples hoping to gain some relief from her headache. ‘Hope Big Al has something for this headache,’ she thought as she waited for Luca.
Let the world hear your cries...

Luca Erra & Karen Hondo (incapacitated)


Always one to groan and moan at his troubles, Luca takes his time to let his captain know of his displeasure of having to be forced to feed via a certain throaty noise. He followed submissively, knowing full well that if he didn't she planned to drag him to the mess hall anyway. He'd rather save his collar from abuse and follow his captain with his tail between his legs.

...it is the call for Bloody Skies
Odalia "Raven" Fitzroy

She stopped rubbing her temples as soon as Luca showed up. She flashed him a sly smile and said, "Good boy!" Then she headed for the Mess Hall again. It was a few minutes till the two reached their destination. Inside there were a few people hanging around in "The Lounge", some scattered hear and there, and Big Al was behind the counter in the kitchen cooking away. "Hey, Big Al!" Raven called out as she crossed the room to the counter. She sat down at the counter, gave her food order, and waited patiently.
Liz Reinart - Jenna Crosfeld Tyrin Branachi & Mira Leinett
Meanwhile, Lance Corporal Oblivious had pulled out her P-Com and was using it to contact three members of her formation. Jenna, Tyrin and Mira (A blonde human and two russet Alvens respectively) were all part of the green team and were completely inseparable. They also happened to be the only members of her formation that were the same size as their leader. Once all three of them had picked up the communication, Liz set the P-Com on the counter in front of her and began to talk.
"So, there's this ball thing that I need to go to in a couple of weeks, and I need to find some sort of dress that would fit me. You three don't have anything I can borrow, do you?"
Liz heard a great deal of excited giggling from her P-Com.
"Mira, what about that yellow one you wore to your cousin's wedding last month? That was pretty!"
"Are you serious? She's way too pale to pull off a yellow dress. No offense ma'am."
"What about uniform blue? The color works well with her eyes..."
"Tyrin, nobody wears blue anymore. It's been out of fashion for like, five years."
"Ooooh! I know! Remember that sexy red halter dress that I got on our last weekend off?"
"Perfect! The red will go so well with her hair!"

"Quick question ma'am. Do you have a date?"
"That's none of your business!" Liz said, blushing slightly. Tyrin let out a small sigh.
"Well, hypothetically ma'am, if you had a date, you would want to tell him that you're wearing a red dress so he knows what color of corsage to get you."
"Cor-what now?"
"It's a flower that you wear on your dress or your wrist. Obviously, it has to go with the dress that you're wearing."
"Can't I just get my own stupid wrist flower?" Liz heard a horrified gasp from all three women.
"Of course not!"
"Why not?!"
"That's just not how its done. Besides, you have to return the favor and get the guy a boutonnière. "
"Private Crosfeld, despite the way my name is spelt, I do not speak French. That's why it's pronounced 'Ray-nart' not 'Renar'. Will you please elaborate a little?"
"It's a flower that the man wears on his lapel. Roses are so in this year, so if your corsage is white, get him a white rose. If it's red, get him a red one.

"Now, for her hair, if she's in a halter, then she absolutely needs to have an up-do."
"I'm thinking curls. They're all the rage this year."
"What about accessories? I have this one necklace-"
Liz flicked her P-Com off, leaving her three fashionistas to talk amongst themselves. Given the amount she had contributed so far, she figured it would be at least three minutes before they found out she was no longer on the line.
aquaseed
James walked out from his cabin in the Aquatos, smiling at what he had just recieved. Heading towards the control room where his first mate should be, James snickered as he stared at the information he had just written down. It was information on an N.E. trading vessel that would soon be passing through the Kepler Neutral System with a rather large amount of minerals stored on it.

As he started down the corridor that lead to the control room, James quietly said to himself, "If all goes well, I'm going to be a richer man in no time. If all goes really well, I won't have to repair my ship, afterwards, because my enemies will be smart enough to surrender. Let's hope all goes really well." James snickered again as he walked into the control room where he spotted his first mate, Jake.

Walking up to him, he said without hesitation, "Prepare the laser systems; we have a ship coming our way and although there probably won't be a fight, you never know."

Jake gave a nod. "Aye, aye cap'n." He said lazily as his char rotated and glided over to where the laser defense mechanisms were located, pressed a few buttons, ready in case he needed to fire at anything. "So, whats on this ship? You only hit the ones that you know have valuable cargo, so, whats this one got?" Jake asked spinning around in his seat out of boredom.

“I don’t know, I just don’t know.” Chris wasn’t as desperate as Rig was for wanting in a better society to live in, only it was men like Xhu who had to step in and screw things up for everyone. She knew something had to be done about it, but she was a doctor for crying out loud. Not somebody who ran around wielding loaded guns and uplifting all sorts of mayhem.

"Ah, well, I'm here now, right? Not much I can do about that..."
Let the world hear your cries...

Luca Erra


Luca growled after the 'Good boy' statement. Next to being called a woman, he hated being called a dog. He kept himself highly above others, and being called a dog just didn't seem to place him atop the hierarchy. Luca didn't eat often and generally didn't care for food, but to amuse his captain he ordered the same as her. He sat next to her, a look of a stoic upon him.

...it is the call for Bloody Skies
Chachi had been listening to the conversation happening over the speaker function of the P-Com. At first he was more fascinated by the fact that the P-Com even had a speaker function. However, his focus switched when the question was posed whether Liz had a date or not. Technically he hadn't asked her yet. Which meant technically, he should so they could start coordinating their outfits. Which meant technically, he would have to buy flowers. Which meant ultimately he was thankful she had the speaker function on.

Once Liz finished the conversation, whether her comrades were aware of it or not, he set the freshly made pasta in front of her along with a small container of blended Italian cheeses. It was probably best if he got to the point.... as nerve wracking as asking the question was.

"Leez, weell you go weeth me to thees dance?"
Karita


A doily fell to the now emaciated and contorted face of Lt. Grastion. Karita turned from the deformed and beaten body. She appeared relaxed, but held a look of annoyance in her eyes and had an air of unpleasantness around her. Murray couldn't stand still... well... he couldn't hover still. And if the little scallop had the ability to show expression as well as a humanoid, then he would have been very obviously worried. It was rare for her to be quiet after a torture session. Usually they made her as giddy as a school girl. The silence finally got to the first mate.

"Cap'n?"

"How inconvenient."

"You're at the top o' that list Cap'n if what he says is true."

Karita didn't react or answer. She was thinking. Taking in what she had just found out about the Elimination List and visiting each scenario. She didn't have a copy of the list, but she managed to get a few names out of the fellow. The name 'Juni', had jumped out at her the most. She knew exactly where he was and that she needed to pay him a little... visit. However, he would not be as easily obtainable as the former Lieutenant.

It was at this point that the Communications Officer creature now named Bob hailed her from bridge.

"Captain. A message's come through. The Akabalsh Empire's hostin' a ball to which you've been invited. I'll patch the message through to you. "

A holographic message appeared in front of Karita. Her eyes scanned the document. Though it didn't say it outright, she knew that if the purpose was to bring an end to the civil war then... Karita's neutral visage changes. A wide grin spread across her face, showing her pointed teeth.

"Perfect."

Murray hovered still and confused.

"Cap'n?"

Karita's visage shifted once more, back to a sweet neutral.

"Get someone to clean this mess up Murray. I'll be on the bridge. Oh... and find something nice to wear. We're going to a ball."
"That looks so good, thank you!" Liz exclaimed as the food was set down in front of her. Picking up her fork, she already had her first bite halfway between her plate and her mouth by the time Chachi had asked his question. Inwardly, she was absolutely delighted. Outwardly though, she tried to play it cool. " 'Course I will. I can't leave a friend stranded and dateless now, can I?"
Rig (Tai McCoy)

“Yup, that you are,” he said with a half cocked grin. “Probably one of the most important players in this silly game. People always underestimate the healer.” He was referring to Chris being a doctor. “You know, it’s like those ancient role playing games. Party can’t survive without their healer.” Externally he was trying to lighten the mood after relying that horrible story and clearing things up. Internally, he was relived to have settled things. “Though, freedom is something you have to take, it’s not given.” He turned around to pick up his schematic (sketch) book and pen. After opening the book he finished his thought: “Meaning, choices we make create who we are and what we can do.” He wasn’t sure how to end the talk of Chris’s decision. He certainly would love for her to stay, but he also wanted to let her know that if she left he would not be against it. Saddened, yes, but not one to chain her down.

“Well, suppose I should get back to work. Dang ship is written all in Enkedish.” In his sketchbook he had already written down a few numbers and words of the Enkedish language and translated to what he thought they meant in Common based on his knowledge of ship design. “Don’t suppose you want to learn some Enkedish too?” he offered as an invitation to stay while he worked.
Avaelle “Jack” Passer

“STOP! PLEASE STOP MISS! You’re under arrest!”

Like Avaelle was going to listen to them. She kept up her pace running away from the guards…only they were chasing her into the heart of the city and away from where Indy and her ship was. “Blast,” she calculated in her head. Then to her luck she spotted her lucky charm out of this. Though she smirked as she changed directions, her heart quivered a little in fear. Her destination after all was a Royal Misfit.

“Good day!” she said with a huge smile to Bane, the Royal Misfit, and sat right behind him hiding from the guards.
Inwardly, Chachi was absolutely delighted. Which meant externally he was ecstatic... and possibly a little shocked.

"REALLY???"

The next three minutes consisted of Chachi running around the kitchen doing victory laps. It was after those three minutes that he realized that maybe his eccentric nature was the reason girls, though they might like him, did not necessarily go out with him. He cleared his throat, sat down, and smiled.... widely.

"Gracias Leez."

He wasn't sure what else to say after that, but he was too busy doing victory laps in his head to care.
