Eulalia Danae Ora tilted her head in interest at Laurel's words. "I will have to see then, I suppose." "Then how did you get involved in my pick-up, Father? Did Laurel run into you at random?" Ora asked, and stood up. "That wasn't random either, he was with the Matron. When he heard you had been with me, he set off to rescue you, and I came along."

Tsukiyomi Morningstar When they were away from the Guard, Hattie looked at Eric. "Whore?" She whispered. "You want to keep it believable, don't you?" Eric replied, sauntering along, head high.

We are preparing to do battle with Kore forces."

Das Steube Tsukiyomi Morningstar When they were away from the Guard, Hattie looked at Eric. "Whore?" She whispered. "You want to keep it believable, don't you?" Eric replied, sauntering along, head high. They were welcomed into the slave market, which consisted of designated walkways, lined with different stalls and cages, all selling their wares. The crowds were particularly large today, people pushing by each other to get a look at the different specimens on display. A few people gave Eric's slaves an appraising look before passing along.

((Boooooring!))
Clar Nex may have been OWL, but one's mission in life tends to lose importance when death is near. This was chatter that could be done without. A button was pressed.
In a flash of light, every life form in the shuttle but Clar vanished. They would reappear on a randomly selected habitable planet with no objects that had not been on their persons.
Clar Nex was really, really tired.

Hattie leaned close to Pen. "Why do they keep looking at us?" She whispered, keeping her eye out for Riley or Cale.

Eric kept his voice quiet, his finger tight on a lever on his cane.
"Or, it could be that there's a lotta unkind folk out here that see a rich man with two pretty slaves and they're thinking about doing something mighty stupid soon."

Xeen paused, them now on some barren rock.
"This is certainly inconvient. Do either of you two know how to get back to Thesys? My knowledge of space is limited, at best."

Hattie looked at Eric, keeping her voice down. "Cale's been in the Slave Trade before. He's been registered since he was young. Where would they take him if he were here?" She paused as they walked by a group of men. "And if I know Riley, she's probably been a handful. There has to be a place for naughty slaves, right?"

Most slaves that escape are put back in, usually as house servants or forced labor."

Some escaped slaves are only valued for their organs and meat." Pen glanced at Hattie, and shut her mouth quickly in a slightly embarrassed manner, realizing it was Hattie's brother she'd been discussing, and that was most definitley not a fate she'd like to think on.
