((This is a private rp between Shira-wasted, Taylor-Lupe_Oceana, and Rouge-Dg.))
Rouge was quite glad to be back on Gaia, safe and pretty much unharmed. The woman practically fell on her face when she returned to the currently desserted wand shop.
But now, the blonde had a promise to keep. While in the realm of In Between she had made a promise to Taylor and Shira. She had promised to take the two to Gamacon so the three could have a nice spa day. And it was well deserved. They'd lived through that experience hadn't they? Even if they hadn't completely deserved it the woman had promised and she would keep that promise.
The two rather shaken females were standing together when Rouge walked over. Softly she smiled. "Come with me. I have to call Steve to let him know that the crew won't be going on routine business again for a while and that we're taking a trip to Gamacon, but other then that we're ready to go. You don't really need to take anything with you." Rouge hoped that was so anyway. The two may not want to go to the foreign spa after their experience with the last other world they were in.

It wasn't too ago since Shira and the others had been sucked into the world known as the In Between. Their "adventure" was finally over, them being able to escape from the world of the spirits back to Gaia.
She felt like kissing the ground.
Well, if it had been less dusty anyways...
"G...Gamacon?" Shira recalled their conversation they had earlier in their troubles, something about spas and other worlds...It never really ended did it? But she couldn't completly deny a good pampering, and to another place compeletly out of these bounds no less. How many times was her logic going to be proven long?
Shira laughed a little shakily. "That...s-should be nice." She let out a breath. "Wait...crew?" Shira didn't really know to much about Rouge, regardless of what they had went through. "You have a crew?"

Rouge turned back to Shira, raising a brow. "I take it I didn't tell you. Yes I have a crew. I am the Captain of the spaceship the Samadueanna. We're space pirates-or rather, what our world calls space pirates-This realm deems pirates as theives and bandits who travel through space or the high seas. Which is very off of our definition of space pirate. But anyway, that is another matter."
With a grin she explained more. "Recently our ship crashed and had to be repaired. So we've all been stuck on various worlds-I've been here. The ship was just repaired and sad as we were to leave our now comfortable positions we'd taken up on those different worlds we were going to reunite and set off once again. However, I can't captain properly after an experience like this without taking some serious rehabilitation time-which for us is going to a spa- therefore we can all go back to being on holiday and we're going to a spa."
Now out of danger Rouge was free to ramble as she pleased. Which was a lot.

Taylor's poor mind, still rattled from the excursion, took a few moments to wrap around the words.
"Space pirates?... wait, SPACE? As in outer space?"
It was going to take more then a spa to reassemble her temporarily broken sanity, but she was willing to try. "Is this that spa that you were talking about? Is it... safe?"
She gasped suddenly, her throbbing ankle giving way, and she found herself leaning heavily against the wall. "And can they fix this?"
Sure, she was talking a lot now, and her conversation had resumed its normal plethora of question marks. Things were normal. Hopefully. But she couldn't quite stop staring at the walls and floors to make sure no shadows were going to ooze out of them.

"Yes. Space pirates. Yes outerspace. It's a planet spa. Yes it's safe and yes they can fix that and your sanity. And yes they have cucumbers." she answered before the woman could ask again. "As long as you two are ready to go we can head out."

"Cucumbers! ALL RIGHT!" Taylor thrust a fist in the air (luckily, it was not the one holding Ako's deadly-sharp wand o' doom). "Let's do this!"
"I've always wanted to go to space," she mumbled quietly to herself, blinking away some of the threads of stress-induced hysteria that laced her mind. "This is going to be cool... you ready?" she added to Shira.

Shira guessed that things weren't gonna get any worse- or at least any stranger- than things already were. Hell, if she could take the shock of wandering into a completly different universe and evil soul-eating shadows, then she could certainly handle a simple travel through space right?
....Maybe.
"Space Pirates..." She attempted to look slightly cheerful, gaze aimed at the ground and a hand brushing her bangs out of her eyes. "Well, no doubt they've got some pretty hi-tech stuff going on up there or something right?" She muttered to herself. "The spa's gotta be a whole lot better than here right?" Anybody watching her would've deemed her slightly crazy for talking to her self this much. Though it's not like it was unreasonable.
She started to get a little excited, almost forgetting her previous troubles. "Hell, a vacation! In space no less!" She turned towards Taylor and nodded. "Let's do this!"

Rouge smiled. "Then this way." she said, turning and walking outside.
A small silver object the size of a compact car was in front of the building. It looked rather like a giant silver egg. Reaching up the woman pressed a small button on her collar and the top of the egg opened from it's seemless closed position.
The front had a strange control panel on it and then a large high backed plush seat with tanned leather covering it directly in the middle of the forward area. This was obviously where the person flying the creation sat. Behind that was a circular area with plush bench/booth like seats that all connected so it looked like a giant plush donut that you sat in and put your feet in the middle of. The contraption looked rather comfortable actually.
A door opened up next to the driver's seat and part of the 'bench' seat from the back also opened out. Obviously these were the way into the vehicle.
"Get in. This will get us to Gamacon." Rouge said calmly. She'd been doing this for years so it wasn't a big deal for her.

"Well, I've never been to a spa here, so I suppose I won't appreciate the difference," Taylor said, shruging slightly. She was not the type for cucumbers on the eyes and polish on the fingernails, but in a situation like this, she'd go for anything. And a spa was a lot better then a shop full o' demons.
"So how far away is this? How do we get around light speed? ...am I asking too many questions?" she added, remember Rouge's quick dismissal of her earlier queries. "Oh, never mind. TO SPACE!" She slid into the seat, gazing with wide eyes at the technology surrounding her. Her ankle was propped up in the center of the donut, her mind completely off her troubles. This was incredible.
If only she could take notes...

Shira stared at the ship incredulously. It took a few seconds for everthing to register before saying anything.
"Hoooooly s**t." She walked up to the craft, not exactly entering yet since Rouge wasn't inside, but she stuck her head in and looked around at the gadgets and seats.
"This is Amazing!" She turned back towards Rouge. "And this is yours? How far are we going in this thing?" Slight excitement was edged in her voice.

Rouge, smirked. "Yes it's mine. And we'll be going over 300 billion light years from here. But I know a lot of shortcuts so it won't take too long. Go ahead and take a seat in the back section. There are little comparments that have refreshments and random other stuff in there. I think I left a notepad or two in the back there in case you guys want to play a game or two while we ride."
After Shira and Taylor were in and situated she got in. These types of transports didn't require seatbelts so they were fine just as they were. And in a few moments the 3 were off. It'd take about an hour to get where they were going so till then they were free to get to know eachother and whatnot.

Shira had been amazed at the simple thought of going somewhere in space- much less somewhere lightyears away! But she had been a little scared as well. Her jitters increased as they climbed inside the small craft, though she didn't let it show too much.
She rubbed her poorly bandaged hands in a nervous jesture as they boarded and was soon well on their way. Shira bounced on the seats lightly and stared out into the inky blackness for a bit. She was abnormaly silent for a time, before getting up and looking through compartments for drinks.
"Thirsty?" She directed the question to no one in particular.

Taylor was already rummaging in the back before the ship lifted off. Finally she emerged triumphant, a pencil in one hand, a notebook in the other. The lead skidded across the paper, scribbling out hasty notes like "300 billion?" and "shortcuts- possibly wormholes?" It was a few seconds before she remembered that there were other people in the ship.
"Erm.. sure," she said to Shira. "What do they have?"
She figured she had better start up some kind of conversation with her sudden companions as well. "So... how did you guys find the Headquarters?" she asked slowly. "Do you have dead people wands too?"

"No I just wandered in by accident. Though I do wish that I had one of the 'dead people wands'" Rouge said, turning around. She'd set the computer on auto-pilot for a little bit. She wouldn't have to fly till they'd both broken this planet's atmosphere and gotten at least a bit closer to her first shortcut.
Leaning over she looked at Taylor's notes. "And no, worm holes are a bit too unstable I prefer chinchi holes." the woman teased. Then, realizing they'd never been to outerspace before she added "And don't panic. It's on autopilot for a few."
Thinking again she decided she too wanted a drink. "Sure, I'm sure I have something from Gaia there to drink. I have pepsi in there I know that. That stuff rules."
Randomly the woman wondered if-now that she was blonde again and in color- she would still look good with a perm.

"Chinchi holes. Right." Taylor gave up on the notes for a minute. "Autopilot? Goood." Her heart had skipped a few beats when Rouge turned away from the controls.
"And a Pepsi sounds good," she added, closing the notebook. "And trust me. You don't want a dead person wand."
She looked down at her own wand, which she had mindlessly brought along on the trip. "If they do what they're supposed to, this thing's going to turn into a baby. A psychic vampire baby. And I hate kids!" She frowned angrily at the wand. "I didn't plan to get this thing. It just happened."
