((Sorry about the delay; I'm trying to take the time to make sure this story stays awesome. But look! We broke three pages! biggrin ))

"Aw, c'mon!" G'nick said, taking a couple of steps forward. "I get dat diss ain't no small favor, but it's not like we got a lotta options! Besides, who says the client ain't a billionaire wit a way outta here? He's definitely in wit the government, and that's closer than anyone else is likely to get you's. Why you'd wanna leave the city to bite it out in the wastes is yer own business, and frankly I don't give two shits. But yer in here wit us right now, and if it's gonna come down to you or me..."
"G'nick." Morg said with an edge, enough so that the conversation stopped. "If she says she doesn't want to do it, then she doesn't do it. No questions."
"Ay, I get dat yer a bleedin' heart who'd rather tip-toe around da gory details of da world we're livin' in, but I ain't!" the minotaur pointed a thick finger at Morg. "Yer ********' off is what has us in diss mess to begin wit! As little time as we got left, either the broad helps us or we die. You ready to make dat sacrifice?"
Morg narrowed his eyes. He took a deep breath and then stood, pulling free of the various arms and needles patching him up. A few steps forward and he was chest-to-chest with his friend.
"If her enslavement and our death are the only two options, then I guess I'd rather die here and now fighting for something I believe in. Even if it means fighting a friend. A friend who picked the perfect time to be a bone-headed a**, but a friend nonetheless."
The two of them stood there, staring each other down.

(No worries, used to it by this point. ^^ Yay pages!)

Touched by Morg's actions in her defense, Akira attempts to defuse the situation. "Perhaps you should fill me in on the situation at hand? And maybe I'll help..." She suggests, still keeping her distance from the men. "But if you intend to kill each other and make a slave of me for some baby factory, I can tell you there is gonna be more than one body on the floor..."

A series of happy sounding chirps and clicks sound from Akira's waist as Hiss' eyes light up red and its coils loosen into a defensive posture, ready to spring.

((Yeesh. I hate that I've become somewhat of a letdown to the point where you're expecting it from me. I shall try to do better, for you!))

Piqued by the suggestion that Akira may yet be willing to help, both Morg and G'nick glanced over at her.
"Whaddaya mean, explain what's goin' on? I just did!" the minotaur grunted, fully turning to face the girl. He recaps, minor annoyance in his tone. "Some big shot wit a lotta connections comes down here lookin' for under da table labor, cuz he wants a woman to carry a baby for him and obviously dats not exactly legal even if ya can find one who can. Da pay ain't half bad, but he don't give me much of a choice besides; a few days to come up wit a baby-makin' broad or we come up dead, dats da score. I call in Morg here, cuz he's a guy I know can get s**t done. Turns out I was right, even if da mission I sent him on wasn't completed to spec. You still wound up here, and yer exactly what we need to get us outta dis mess. Savvy?"
It was Morg's turn to step forward. He closed the distance between himself and V in a couple of long steps, then put a hand on her shoulder. "This is your choice. I trust G'nick, so I'm sure he isn't wrong. But I'm not asking any more of you, tonight. If you decide you're in, I'll be there every step of the way to make sure this deal doesn't go sour. If you want to walk, I'll do my damnedest to make sure you do."
His hand remained on her shoulder as he stepped to the side and turned to face the minotaur again, his expression one of grim determination.

((Gaia is sorta a dead RP format so its partily my fault for dragging you over here from DA. But if its better for you, join MoL's new discord server and add me. We can continue this (or future RPs) there and I'll just repost them over here one piece at a time.))

"Why not grab that demon chick and what I guess was her daughter from the club? (totally blanking on their names) When the elevator shaft exploded, I saw them make their escape and one of them clearly pregnant..." Akira asks, hesitant to allow Morg to get a firm grip on her shoulder despite the friendly nature intended behind it.

"Still... all he wants is a woman to carry his kid for him... he could care less about the woman it seems..." The gears of Akira's mind start turning, building a grand plan outta the muck just thrown at her and she grins. "While being a street rat is fine and dandy... this is an opportunity I find hard to pass up... And if all goes as planned the three of us can be living like kings. Contact your big shot confirming completion of the mission, but don't give him any details. We will hash out this contract in person, face to face. As of now, I'll just be another associate of yours."

((Ah, I see! Well, I've been considering joining the Discord revolution for a while now, so I may just do that!
Also:
I only ask this because it has been a long time in reality so you may have forgotten, but a few posts ago Morg was obviously trying to keep the thing about the girls from the club a secret from G'nick. Y'know, since he botched the mission to help them escape and all. If you remembered that and intentionally spilled the beans for whatever reason, then that's cool and I'll figure out how to play through that in my next post! But if not, I just figured it may be a good idea to throw that back out there. Ha-ha!))
