Silent_Wolf 04-27-2009 08:30 PM Prey {RP Revamp} This was an old, old, old RP, you guys can probably find it on page 2 or 3. This RP is going to be nothing like that RP except for a few key points that I will point out in my opening paragraph, which will be in a separate post due to character limitations. This RP is a little stricter than what I usually do. -- Prey. Either you hunt it or you are it. In the future, in this time frame, humanity has spread across the universe and space travel is unlimited. Hundreds upon thousands of new civilizations are popping up on all sorts of planets; in fact, a lot of cities on certain planets are called New. New Vienna on Arguerra; New Mecca on Helion 6. They have traits of the old cities on Earth. Earth is long gone; destroyed by war and ravished by nuclear radiation. Sure, humans still live there, but are they really human anymore? Mutations are abundant, and a lot of newborns don't live long because defects are often fatal. Some people who survived childhood and teen years moved away; some still linger. Ships are more or less like gigantic cities; while many transport cruisers have cryosleep chambers for long voyages, there are other ships where everybody is always awake. Well, except for the necessary sleep, but you understand, I'm sure. Mercenary ships often have cryosleep systems on them for transporting high risk bounties; the larger ones that stay in space longer tend to have very large stores of mercenaries in cryosleep in case of an emergency. The dreams that come from cryosleep are vivid and at times even terrifying; many have woken up insane. Though that may also be due to the cramped quarters. There are numerous prisons across the universe as well; the two highest security ones are Crematoria and Butcher Bay. However, the latter has been having some issues ever since the escape of a lucrative prisoner who goes by the name of Ridd'ck... Crematoria is a planet; it's practically glued to the sun in its system, and as a result of the close proximity it is downright suicide to be on its surface during the day. If you are outside out in the open and the sun is coming out, you'll be burnt alive. Not pretty. Trust me. You are one of the some hundred thousand people on the prison ship Deadly Nightshade. Whether you are a captured bounty/prisoner, a merc, or a guard, that's up to you. But be warned; some of the guards will do anything to see each other fall, so choose your friends wisely. The prisoners generally have free reign, to an extent; they are not allowed near the engine room, control room, or any rooms that could potentially pose a problem if taken over by prisoners. While there are no guards in these rooms, there are guns mounted on the walls and there are also numerous security measures in the rooms. The Nightshade is heading for Crematoria to drop off some of the more dangerous of the criminals, and the captain - whose name and face are unknown - is planning on abandoning some of their crew there; said members are supposedly planning a mutiny. The ship, however, is still several months off; and there is no cryosleep except for most of the merc army and the more dangerous inmates. They say Ridd'ck himself may be hiding in the Cryo room; the thermal sensors continue to indicate there is somebody moving around in there, despite nobody being found when guards go to investigate. So: Who are you? What's your story? ~~~ Okay, so you're either a guard, a merc, a bounty, or some random loser who got dragged into this mess. Maybe you're a cook or something. Anyway, there are four areas of the prison section of the ship - which is roughly the area size of a very, very large hotel with none of the fancy digs - called Fox, Alpha, Omega, and Beta. The prisoners have their own cells; they have bunks and toilets. Weapons are not permitted. If you are found to have weapons, you will be put into isolation for 24 hours. It's not fun. It's dark. It's quiet. There's no contact with other prisoners in the Iso unit in Omega sector. Deal with it. Prisoners can have various jobs around the ship if they don't have marks against them; they can be repair workers, kitchen workers, if there's a job needing done they can do it if they sign up for job duty. If you are a guard, you have what's called riot weapons; they have bullets, but they are not exactly deadly. Some of the corrupt guards however do use real bullets, then pin the inmate deaths on the mercs. Mercs have regular weapons and are rarely called upon for duty as guards; they're just along for the ride to Crematoria so they can pick up their pay for the bounties they're bringing in on the ship. Rules 1. No overpowered characters. 2. If you came from Old Earth, you probably have some kind of weird attribute. Weird hair color, eye color, a physical mutation like a tail or feathers. If you come from what's considered an Inhuman Planet, you're probably some kind of weird creature. Reptillian (known as Draconians, more or less as they have a dragon shape when they wish), Avian (same as Reptillian), and the typical odd looking creatures are abundant in the Dead Space zones. Oh yeah, forgot to mention: Avoid Dead Space like the plague or you'll be nabbed by a merc ship. Not fun. 3. You may have one 'natural' ability (which will be outlined below the rules) and/or one physical augmentation of some sort. 4. If you are not an experienced RPer, you can't join. End. I reserve the right to disallow you to join. 5. In your opening post, detail part of your history; if you are a prisoner, do a paragraph or so about your capture. If you're a guard or merc, do a paragraph or two about your daily life on the ship. You get the point. 6. Follow RPG rules. 7. I don't want everybody to be making a bounty or a guard. Seriously. We need an even-ish ratio here. 8. Women get no respect. They have to earn it. Doesn't matter if they are bounty or guard or merc, they have to have earned their respect somehow and believe me, they aren't going to get it doing sexual favors. Which brings me to rule number 9. Some of the mercs and inmates and guards are less than friendly to women. Keep that in mind. Women and men have fairly equal fighting ability, especially if they're in the prison or merc businesses, so they can very well protect themselves if necessary. 10. Fights happen. Yep. They do. Riots are especially fun. No auto hitting, period, unless it's a designated NPC that needs a slapping around. 11. Only humans and mutated humans have odd kids. If a Draconian/Avian has a kid with a human or a mutie, the kid is either mutie human or regular human or Draconian/Avian. There are no crossbreeds. Same with Draconian and Avian couples; their kids are either one or the other. Draconians have scales in their human forms, but not a lot, just around the eyes and on the back of the hands and bottoms of the feet; they look like dragons in their true forms. Avians tend to have feathered arms in their human forms, but many of them who spend more time in human form can make their wings disappear; their true forms are large birds of various types. Furyans are extinct except for Ridd'ck, so Eyeshine is just a mentioned augmentation. 12. I realize this list is long, if you've read this far then you can stop now. Again, no overpowering your characters, no Mary Sues/Gary Stus. Natural abilities: Flight (Avian, Draconian) Telepathy (Mutated humans, Draconians, Avians) Telekinesis (Very rare, only in mutated humans) Longevity (Mistaken for immortality; Draconians, Avians, and some mutated humans, they just live a really long time. Like, a LONG time.) Night vision (Draconians, mutated humans) Surgical augmentations: (These apply to all races unless otherwise stated) "Eyeshine" (Has never been accomplished, almost all who try have gone blind or died of eye infections, so it's now illegal.) Hydraulic (Run and jump faster and higher) Cyborg (Implants in the brain and body, make you faster and you can mentally log into computers but you're susceptible to hacking.) Prosthetic (Basically a replaced limb or two. These are very advanced, but the hand and arm ones still aren't perfect yet.) Silent_Wolf 04-27-2009 08:59 PM Woo, second post. *insert whine about character limit, XD* MAP OF LIVING AREA FLOOR AND VENTILATION SHAFT OF THE DEADLY NIGHTSHADE: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82...htshademap.png http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82...tshadeMap2.png ------- Character sheet (You can use this if you want, it's just for reference for other RPers. Also, take out the parenthesed stuff! O_o) Name: Nickname: Age: Race: (Human, Draconian, Avian, Mutated Human) Job on ship: Abilities: Bio: (Nothing TOO crazy, will tell you if it's too much. This does not include a detailed summary of how an inmate gets caught, mind, a brief mention of that will do then you do the actual description in your paragraph or more.) Personality: (Include strengths and weaknesses in this, physical and mental) Appearance: (NO PICS!) Etc.: Name: Samantha Hawking Nickname: Yuni (from her bad childhood habit of saying 'You need') Age: 223 (looks 25) Race: Avian Job on ship: Inmate; repair worker for Cryo storage and refridgeration systems Abilities: Flight, hydraulics in her legs to help her take off in true form Bio: Samantha grew up on the Avian homeworld, which has been destroyed in the past hundred or so years by pollution and mercenaries. She's one of many Avians trying to make their way through life. She had a typical childhood much like a human's; school, family, friends. When she was a teenager, her parents died in separate eons (both were workers on space ships) due to merc attacks on ships. She hates mercs with a passion and she has an open defiance of authority; she started her killing streak right after her homeworld was destroyed when she was 132 years old, when a couple of children were being kidnapped by a bounty hunter. Her main targets were rogue mercenaries and bounty hunters, but within the past fifty years or so she started going after corrupt government officials. She was finally caught trying to assassinate one of the prime ministers on one of the Helion system's planets and has been on the Nightshade for ten years and knows the cryo sleep system like the back of her hand; prior to her killing career, she was a heating and cooling specialist and her knowledge of the wiring has helped her considerably. Personality: She's a very crabby person, and doesn't mince words; while she does have her nice moments, they're only to friends and new inmates who need help. Yuni hasn't actually smiled in years; she's very sarcastic and it's gotten her in trouble with many guards and mercs. The main reason she's so crass is due to the death of her parents; she locked herself up in her head and won't let anybody get to know her, fearing being hurt again or hurting somebody. Her biggest flaw physically is a limp; she broke the hydraulic in her left leg in a riot six years ago. The repair was sc'rewed up and now her legs aren't even. Her biggest personality flaw is that she's far too stubborn for her own good and it could very well cost her her life, should she refuse help and she sees taking help as a major weakness - however, this applies only to herself taking help, not somebody else. Appearance: Black hair, green eyes; tends to wear a green colored version of the inmate uniform, which is orange slacks and a white wifebeater. Green indicates that she can go into the cryo area to work on malfunctioning systems. Etc.: Is allergic to seafood and certain types of coolant liquid. Her Avian form is a hawk that's roughly the size of a large SUV, but she hasn't used it in a long time as she has neither the time nor room to use it. Is going to be transferred to Crematoria after enciting a riot in the cafeteria, insists it is not her fault but she killed three mercs and one inmate who was a former merc during the chaos. ~~~ An alarm blared a bit in the four prison blocks, and a computerized voice announced over a series of speakers, "Inmates, it is 0600 hours. Report to the cafeteria by 0900 hours. The schedule for today is: breakfast, work and/or recreation, lunch, work and/or recreation, dinner, baseball game between 1700 and 2100 hours. At 2200 hours, inmates are expected to be back in their cells. Isolation prisoners have one to three hours of recreational time depending on their punishment. Have a good day." The plasma door to the cells in all the blocks turned off, and a lot of inmates - men and women alike - grumbled as they got up off their bunks and headed to the showers; some went straight to the cafeteria, which also served the awake mercs and the prison ship guards, and others went to the gym behind Omega block to work out a little before breakfast. Yuni shoved her head under her pillow, grumbling, and she peeked out from under it when one of the guards banged a fist against the wall of her cell. "Whaat?" "Time to get up. You had an extra hour yesterday because you got sick from somebody slipping shrimp in your pasta at dinner, you're fine today. Get up." The guard moved on to check on other prisoners. Yuni just sighed and sat up, stretching and pulling a clean wifebeater out of the box under her bunk; she changed out of her dirty one and pulled the clean one on as she walked out of the cell, looking around. The cells were stacked in 4 by 6 blocks along the walls, and each was a good 6 feet in all directions. There were stairwells and ramps and catwalks leading from each level of cells, and there was a set of double doors on either side of the room; the one on the left side, from her angle, led to Fox sector and the one on the right led to a hallway. She leaned against the railing, watching the prisoners head in various directions and chat with each other at the tables on the floor below; she didn't really understand how people could be so familiar with each other in a place like this. She didn't trust any of the inmates; she'd learned the hard way to keep her enemies closer than friends. She sighed and headed down a stairwell to head to the floor; she was really hungry and wouldn't wait til she had a shower to eat. She'd eat, go work out a little, then shower. As she walked out of the door to the hallway, she heard a couple of mercs muttering to each other. She noticed who they were but didn't really care; they were the ones who had captured her on Helion 2 when she had assassinated the prime minister. She frowned a bit at the memory, watching the two; she could remember it all too easily. She'd been trying to escape from the vents; easier than the hallways, which were packed with civillians and mercenaries trying to get out before the killer went after them. Yuni had wanted to laugh at their conceit; she wasn't about to go after them, they weren't important and most of them weren't the pathetic mercs and politians she aimed at. She'd exited the building from the sewers, and the two mercs - Toombs and some other guy, couldn't remember the name of him - had been waiting. She'd banged the second one up good; he still couldn't flex most of his toes or fingers on his right side, and he had a nice scar in his stomach, she was certain. Toombs, on the other hand, had used the distraction to sedate her; she'd barely gotten a punch in when she'd gone out cold. She was sentenced to life on the Nightshade due to their issues with their refridgeration and cryosleep systems, and she'd been keeping everything up and running ever since and she'd trained some of the guards to keep everything working as well since it was meant to be their job, not hers... Honestly, she'd rather let the crazier prisoners out; she hated the ship. Some of the guards were alright; most were new this trip, a lot of fresh meat for the older guards to pick at and trick and hurt. A lot of guards and "clean" mercs had been sent by some group called the Alliance; they were the group most mercs reported to. Yuni didn't trust the corporation; they showed up whenever a planet was destroyed. True, they hadn't been there when her homeworld had been ruined, but ever since they first began about a hundred fifty years ago they were at almost every ruined planet to offer a new home to the denizens. She called bullsh*t on it, but considering several things - one, the headquarters on New Earth in the Post Milky Way system was heavily guarded and too dangerous and two, she was on a ship - she wouldn't have dared to go after them all. But something was just too fishy about them all. Yuni snapped out of her thoughts when another inmate walked into her by accident, and after shoving him a little - he'd apologized, poor bloke had busted his head during a riot on Butcher Bay and he wasn't like he used to be, was apologizing for everything now - continued heading to the cafeteria, sniffing the air but not smelling what was on the menu; her nose had been broken a couple of times and she couldn't smell much anymore. "... Wonder if there's gonna be a fight today." Miranda_ 04-27-2009 09:34 PM Name: Diego Blake. Nickname: Is known as "The Dingo" and "Mad Dog" due to his crazy behaviour; however calling him either nickname to his face could result in major pain. Age: Unknown; due to his powers, his lifespan is extended way beyond normal. Looks around sixteen. Race: Mutated human. Job on ship: Doesn't have one; he's new on the ship for one thing. For another, he's not allowed the use of his hands save in certain situations like meal times. Abilities: Due to mutated genes, Diego has a power that he calls "hexing"; he can make the impossible become possible, simply by using his hands to throw hexes at people and objects. For example, he could hex a fire and make it into a weird fire creature, or a jet of water and change it into ice. Bio: Diego was born on Earth. He lived with his parents til the age of six, when his parents threw him out of their home for attempting to kill his younger brother. Diego lived on his wits until he was able to hitch a ride on an outgoing spaceship and leave Earth for good. Since then, he's worked as a bounty hunter, using his powers to kill various marks and getting paid well for it. This occupation however gained him his share of enemies, as well as a large price on his head, due to his habit of not caring how many civilians died, as long as the mark was dead. Many people who wouldn't care about the various marks dying, were not too happy about innocent people dying in the process. The disregard for human life is borne partly as a result of his hard life growing up on Earth, but also due to arrogance due to having powers and believing that he's somehow above so called normal human beings. Personality: Very cynical and abrasive; tends not to care about the feelings of others, can be extremely rude and abusive towards people. Diego is also very immature; this is possibly due to him looking like a teenager. He doesn't make friends easily, and his mouth gets him into trouble with guards on quite a few occasions. He's also very stubborn and set in his views; he can also be selfish and won't ever give out help for free. Diego however can be loyal on the rare occasion that he finds someone who will put up with him long enough to be friends with him. He won't ever betray anyone, even for money, and keeps his promises, good and bad. Appearance: Dirty blonde hair, pale blue eyes. He's slightly above average in height, and skinny in build. Part of the reason why he's so successful in his business is that he doesn't look dangerous; a lot of bigger, tougher men have tried their luck with him and ended up coming to grief. Wears the inmate uniform, as well as a special pair of restraints that are made of a kind of metal that can't be broken thru. They encase the whole of his lower arms and ensure that he can't use his powers. He only has them removed for mealtimes; the guards are primed with chloroform gas canisters should he show any signs of using his powers. Etc.: Diego didn't know at the start of the trip who it was who'd captured him and who was to collect the price on his head, but he's slowly putting it together. When he finds out who it is, as far as he's concerned, he's got as long as it takes to get out of Crematoria, find them and make them die as painfully as possible. Diego groaned as the alarm went off; he reluctantly got out of his bunk. However, he was unable to follow the other inmates who were alternatively heading towards the showers, cafeteria or gym until a guard had unlocked the restraints on his arms. The restraints irritated him, but he knew full well why he had to wear them; he wasn't trusted enough by the guards to be allowed to walk around the ship without them. The guard who had been detailed for this duty walked up to Diego. "OK, you know the deal," he said. "These come off so you can shower and then eat; after breakfast, they go back on again. If you're thinking about starting trouble with your so called hexes, forget it. I have my gas canister on me, and you'll find your @rse in isolation if you even think of it." Diego scowled, but made no comment. He'd already mouthed off to guards and the consequences weren't very pleasant. It was a pity that he didn't have the brains to learn from experience; the situation was bound to happen again, sooner or later. The restraints were removed, and Diego went to shower. He heard other inmates whispering around him; he was sure he heard someone muttering, "Mad Dog," but couldn't pinpoint the culprit. "Just say that to my face, and you'll be sorry," he said loudly, and the muttering abruptly stopped. Diego thought back to his capture; not that he could remember much, cuz whoever it was had sneaked up behind him and the next thing he knew, he was choking on poison gas. He had woken up wrapped in a straitjacket, on the way to be delivered to the prison ship. Diego thought dark thoughts about the person who'd captured him; as soon as he found out who they were, they were dead. Just as soon as he got off this hellhole of a prison ship, of course. Diego finished his shower, dried himself off, and after dressing, made his way to the cafeteria. Silent_Wolf 04-27-2009 09:44 PM Info on the Draconians and Avians, I could not fit this anywhere else. Dammit. It's basically like Earth, but they value stone and metal work so a lot of their buildings were mainly stone and/or metal. There were various kinds of Draconians, like there's a lot of different kinds on Earth, and each of them had a specific type of job they were grown and trained to do from childhood (though obviously there are going to be oddballs). It's based on a heirarchy of dragons; each area has a king who was the strongest of a generation, and the only way to determine the next king (or queen, depending) is if a challenger steps forth and "slays" the king, meaning knocking him out of the arena in some fashion. You really shouldn't kill them but sometimes they've fallen on their swords either out of exhaustion from the fight or just being tired of being king. There's nobles and common citizens, as well as the children of the kings being considered royal, but they can't be heirs unless they challenge the king when they've reached adulthood at about 200 years old. They've also got their own version of football, except it involves big heavy boulders and how long you can keep it up in the air with only your tail hitting it. Though that sounds more like soccer/basketball than anything else, they have a name for it but other races just call it Rockball. The Avians' version of the Draconian passtime was huge dance and performance competitions, due to their birdlike natures. More will be added when I'm done screaming at the character limit. ACTUAL POST: Yuni stood in the lunch line; there were four separate ones much like the four prison sections. "..." Her nose twitched a bit; she really needed to sneeze but it wouldn't happen. She heard somebody in the line behind her and she looked over her shoulder; it was Diego. "You the new guy, then?" Miranda_ 04-27-2009 09:50 PM Diego replied sarcastically, "How did you guess? You must be a genius." He was feeling annoyed at having to get up at such an unearthly hour. Silent_Wolf 04-27-2009 09:52 PM "You'll get used to the early wakeups." She shrugged. "I'm Yuni. What're you in for?" Miranda_ 04-27-2009 10:04 PM "Someone brought me in for money. They're basically a dead man walking, cuz when I find out who it is, I'm going to kill them." Diego glared round the cafeteria. "I'm not about to stop what I do just cuz some bleeding heart doesn't like the fact that anyone stupid to get in my way when I'm hunting down some mark ends up dead." Silent_Wolf 04-27-2009 10:15 PM "You shouldn't kill innocent people." Yuni picked up a tray and handed it to him before grabbing one for herself. "I don't recommend getting the orange juice. It tastes like warm beer and it's disgusting." Miranda_ 04-27-2009 10:18 PM "If they get in my way, that's their problem. What's a few people dead? It's called population control." Diego took the tray. "I've already been told not to drink the water here. What am I supposed to drink, then?" Silent_Wolf 04-27-2009 10:22 PM "The water's good." Yuni blinked. "The water fountains in the halls suck, but the kitchen's water is good. Trust me." Miranda_ 04-27-2009 10:43 PM "Thought it was the same water. How can it be different? Anyway, I'm taking as long as is possible over breakfast." Silent_Wolf 04-27-2009 10:46 PM "That's a good three hours then, I think." Yuni slid aside a glass door on the breakfast bar to see what was inside; the glass had steamed up. "Well, the kitchen water is filtered until it's so clean, it's practically invisible. The water fountain lines are sc'rewy, I need to help them fix it later." She got a couple of pieces of wheat toast. Miranda_ 04-27-2009 10:58 PM Diego took a bit of everything without really noticing what he was taking. "The reason I say that is cuz the moment I finish breakfast, I have to find a guard to put my restraints back on and I hate the d'amn things." Silent_Wolf 04-27-2009 10:59 PM "You able to go around the ship?" Miranda_ 04-27-2009 11:13 PM "Yeah, as long as I'm wearing the restraints." Silent_Wolf 04-27-2009 11:24 PM "Well, I'll show you around. It's pretty big." Miranda_ 04-27-2009 11:28 PM "You can probably go places I can't, tho. They don't trust me enough for certain things, and I don't like anyone here enough to want to be around them." Silent_Wolf 04-27-2009 11:36 PM "Well, I'm pretty sure there's places we can both hang out in. The recreation area's pretty sweet. Can you play checkers with your toes? To make it even, I'll play it with my feet, too." Miranda_ 04-28-2009 12:12 AM "I guess so," said Diego ungraciously. "If anyone says anything, they'll be sorry." Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 11:02 AM "People are stupid, just how they are." Miranda_ 04-28-2009 11:29 AM "They'll probably say you're sleeping with me, just warning you." Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 08:08 PM "So? Don't take this personal, but I'm not attracted to humans. Period. Just never have." She took a sip of water and stared across the room; she could've sworn she'd seen something. Miranda_ 04-28-2009 08:22 PM "I didn't say I wanted to sleep with you, you know. Ego much? Just warning you that some of the people here have dirty minds." Diego at first didn't even notice Yuni looking accross the room; when he did notice, he said, "What's so interesting over there? Just two idiots trying to stab each other with plastic forks." Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 08:25 PM "I didn't mean it like that, just that I'm not interested..." Yuni shook her head and picked up her tray after getting some eggs, both scrambled and sunnyside up. "Thought I saw something in the vent, must've just been a repair worker." Miranda_ 04-28-2009 08:37 PM "Must have been. No-one's stupid enough to try and escape from here." Diego picked up his tray. "Everyone seems to think I'm jailbait. I'm not, honestly." Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 08:40 PM "You look like a teenager. That's gotta suck." Yuni sat down at a table and handed one of the other prisoners her packet of grape jelly; she never ate any but the guy was collecting it for some reason. Miranda_ 04-28-2009 08:55 PM "Sometimes it does, sometimes it's good. Like if I'm after a mark, or if someone starts on me in a bar. Sucks to be them after they find out exactly why my marks never escape." Diego started to eat his breakfast, but slowly. Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 09:16 PM "I mainly went after dirty mercs, like the ones who kidnapped kids to sell them on slaver ships." Yuni grimaced. "Course, I wasn't registered as a bounty hunter so I ended up getting in a lot of trouble. Da.mn Alliance nuts." Miranda_ 04-28-2009 09:19 PM "Yeah. They get upset if one of my marks ends up dead instead of captured. So I started kneecapping them instead and they got p*ssy about that, too. Nitpicky much?" Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 09:22 PM "I don't like them, honestly." Yuni finished her breakfast; she needed to go work in the cryosleep area. "Just comes up funny to me that they've never been able to catch some of the most notorious killers when they're outright blatant about what they do, but some of them just kinda disappear off the map. It's a little scary." Miranda_ 04-28-2009 09:30 PM "I prefer to keep the body as evidence so I can get paid," said Diego. "Last one I hit, I kept alive; but he ended up shot in the spine with his own bullets." Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 09:34 PM "They're not too fond of damaged goods, though." Miranda_ 04-28-2009 09:38 PM "They're way too fussy. Sometimes the only way to take someone out is to neutralise them. In any case, he would have gotten shot in the legs if he hadn't ducked." Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 09:40 PM "You try using sedative bullets?" Miranda_ 04-28-2009 09:45 PM "They weren't my bullets; I don't use guns." Diego rolled his eyes. "I just hexed his gun when he tried to shoot me, so that the bullets would hit him instead." Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 09:48 PM "Just suggesting." Yuni tossed her tray in the wash bin cart that was being rolled around on its own; it was programmed to move between the tables. Miranda_ 04-28-2009 09:51 PM "How can I choose what bullets these people use on me? That's stupid." Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 09:54 PM "I meant keep a tranq gun with you." Miranda_ 04-28-2009 10:04 PM "I don't see the point. I prefer to travel light." Diego was eating very slowly, in order to prolong the time spent unfettered. Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 10:12 PM "Tranq guns are light." |

Miranda_ 04-28-2009 10:14 PM "No gun is even lighter. Anyway, it's pointless discussing this when I'm stuck here for a while." Silent_Wolf 04-28-2009 10:16 PM "Entertainment?" She shrugged and stood up. "See you later." Miranda_ 04-28-2009 10:26 PM "Maybe, and maybe not. You've probably got work to do; in any case, I might just go back to my cell afterwards anyway." Silent_Wolf 04-29-2009 11:29 AM "What block are you in?" Miranda_ 04-29-2009 07:49 PM "Fox. Someone obviously has a bad sense of humour." -.- Ooc: I think that's right; then again, random guess. If not I will edit. Silent_Wolf 04-29-2009 08:06 PM Ooc: Yeah, there's a Fox cell block. ~~~ "Least you didn't get stuck in Beta block. Them and Alpha are always duking it out." Miranda_ 04-29-2009 08:07 PM "I wouldn't care about that, cept it would stop me from sleeping." Silent_Wolf 04-29-2009 08:32 PM "They only do it during lunch and dinner, don't worry." Yuni shrugged and waved. "See you later, maybe." She headed to the door. Miranda_ 04-29-2009 08:47 PM "Yeah, I guess." Diego went back to eating breakfast as slowly as possible. spirit_queen 05-08-2009 12:33 AM Name: Amira/Mina Nickname: Mimi/Mina Age: 200 (looks 18) Race: Draconian Job on ship: Merc who also occassionally helps with tech stuff Abilities: night vision, Bio: The 'original' personality was actually the Mina one. The rough tomboy who delighted in rockball and was set up to become a smith of sorts. She was an excellent warrior. She often trained with her little brother, Hem,. He meant everything to her, and he in turn loved her... though, like any little brother, he often drove her nuts. Around the time Mina was 140, she and ehr brother were kidnapped. She put up a good fight, but eventually she was cornered and knocked out. When they literally threw her into the holding cell, and she landed on her head. it was aournd this time that her alternate personality -Amira- began to appear. When Amira found she was skilled with technology and machinery, she used her knowledge to help her escape when the ship had docked on another planet. It was then she leanred that hem was on another ship, and then that Mina swore she'd find him and became a merc (as mercs pick up many ships; she figured she'd have to find her brother eventually). Too bad that's yet to happen... Eventuallyy, Mina lost hope, and became so grouchy and mean she's made few friends, adn prefers it that way. Now, she works aboard the Deadly Nightshade so that both the Mina and Amira personalities can have something to do. Personality: Due to her split mind, there are two personalities: Amira is the sweet one. She's kind to the point where she'll go out of her way to help someone. She's really good with electronics and such, and often repairs various things around the ship when it can't be hand;ed by any average repairman. Amira is often supressed by Mina, and though she hates it, she cant find the willpower to fight back. Mina is the persnality you see most often, due to the hardship on the ship; she's rude mean, and tough as an old boot. This is the merc side, and she's only out for herself. As the dominant side, she has not real friends,a dn likes to keep it that way, as she trusts no one; she only lets Amira out for repairs, then supresses her again. Appearance: Long brown har with purple-ish blue tips, purple-ish blue eyes, purple-ish blue scales aournd the eyes (and other places), tan skin, and a crooked nose that had probably been boken some time or other, rediculously long legs and large feet, small hands and has a pear-shaped figure. Etc.: Her dragon-form is obviously purple-blue. On planets like Earth with flowery springs, she gets eczema in the creasesd or her elbows, back of her knees, and gets watery eyes. Oh, and the big, bad Draconian merc Mina is afraid of spiders, but sweet Amira isn't. XD ~~~ Mina woke up relatively late, and growled, shoving her hair into a rough pony. She marched her way straight to the mess hall, as she couldn't begin a day without food. She hardly even paid attention to what she was given; so long as it was edible, it would do. She chose a random empty seat beside some random blonde kid who looked like he'd have a hard time killing a fly. Mina, however, didn't believe that; he had to be bad to get here; even the techies had a rough side, or they wouldn't survive. Mina ate her breakfast like the beast she was, not pausing for a moment to even taste whatever she was shoveling down her throat; her table manners were atrocious. Mina, stop that! You act like a beast! Said the voice in her head. "I am a beast." Mina mumbled, knowing Amira would catch it. Doesn't mean you have to eat like one! That boy next to us probably thinks you're gross. What does it matter? If he doens't like it, tough; he'll deal, or I'll make him deal. At this point, she looked over at Diego, snorted, then wiped her mouth. There, you happy? Miranda_ 05-08-2009 11:13 AM Diego rolled his eyes in the girl's direction; he couldn't see what her problem was. He raised an eyebrow at the muttered comment, tho he didn't hear what was said; it sounded like she was talking to herself. He played with his food a little, realising as he did so that he wouldn't be able to stretch breakfast out for much longer. In fact, a guard was already approaching from the other side of the canteen. spirit_queen 05-08-2009 11:17 AM Mina looked over at him. No, not at him, his plate; her purple eyes stared at his un-touched food greedily. "You gonna eat that, kid?" She asked in a gruff voice. Miranda_ 05-08-2009 11:22 AM "Probably not; they're already coming for me so I won't be able to." Diego looked annoyed, and pushed his plate towards Mina. "Guess I can't put it off any more." He assumed that Mina knew about him. spirit_queen 05-08-2009 11:26 AM "Put what off?" Mina asked. Truth be told, she didn't know, and she'd never really had a reason to care much. Still didn't; now she was just curious and bored. Miranda_ 05-08-2009 11:31 AM "The restraints they put on me so I can't hex them. They don't trust me. Where have you been that you don't know that?" Diego said, sarcastically. "I thought everyone knew." spirit_queen 05-08-2009 11:34 AM Mina smirked. "Probably repairin' things and mindin' my own business." She grinned. "Look at you, thinkin' you're such a hot shot that everyone knows you." Silent_Wolf 05-08-2009 11:34 AM The guard finally came over. XD "Come on, Diego, time's up." Miranda_ 05-08-2009 11:37 AM Diego gave Mina a nasty look. "You'll learn soon enough who I am if I ever get out of here. If you're lucky, you'll live to learn by it." He glared at the guard. "Ten more minutes. Breakfast isn't over yet." Silent_Wolf 05-08-2009 11:38 AM "Captain's orders, buddy, they saw you're done eating and radio'd me to get you cuffed." spirit_queen 05-08-2009 11:38 AM "Well, it was nice meetin' ya kid." Mina said. "But, unfortunately, a girl's got work to do, and I don' want to be caught slackin'." Miranda_ 05-08-2009 11:42 AM "Whatever; and I'm not a kid." Diego looked sulky. He said to the guard, "It's not long enough. What am I supposed to do all day after you put that thing on me?" Silent_Wolf 05-08-2009 11:42 AM "There's plenty to do. Just ask around." The guard yawned. spirit_queen 05-08-2009 11:47 AM "I call everyone 'kid', even if they're older than me." Mina said. "And what's that guy puttin' on ya?" Miranda_ 05-08-2009 11:54 AM "Restraints." Diego scowled some more. "Cuz I have powers that come from being mutated, that I call hexes. I can make anything happen, or turn anyone's powers back on them. I have to use my hands to utilise the power, so cuz they don't trust me, they put these things on me. I can't do anything with them on, and they only take them off for meals and at the end of the day." spirit_queen 05-08-2009 10:37 PM "That sucks." Mina said dryly. "Though, I know a few things one can do to entertain oneself witohut hands." She said. She shrugged. "Maybe you could give 'em a try." Silent_Wolf 05-08-2009 10:45 PM Elsewhere on the ship, Yuni was walking past the cryo pyramids, rubbing her arms through the thermal suit. Dammit I hate working in here, it's freezing as f**k, she thought, her teeth chattering despite the warmth radiating from the inside of the material. So da.mn quiet. She stopped at a stand and checked the readings on it, trying to stop her teeth and jaw shaking; it was annoying her. She hit a few buttons, resetting a few of the settings on a number of sleep chambers, and she entered the codes for the boxes, doing each separately. She heard footsteps behind her and turned her head to look, but saw nothing but the robots that floated around. "..." Miranda_ 05-09-2009 12:04 AM "Like what?" replied Diego, disbelievingly. "Can't think of anything, personally. Cept sleeping." spirit_queen 05-09-2009 12:06 AM "Oh, just some games I learned form my travels as a merc." Mina said. "Would you like me to show them to you?" Miranda_ 05-09-2009 12:10 AM "If you want. Not as tho I can do anything else." By now, the restraints were on, and had been locked tight. Diego would have to wear them til lunch time; however, despite the fact that they were made out of metal, they weren't overly heavy. spirit_queen 05-09-2009 12:14 AM "Well, then, come with me." Mina said. "I'm done with food anyways." Miranda_ 05-09-2009 12:22 AM "Might as well." Diego stood up and leant against the table. spirit_queen 05-09-2009 12:27 AM Mina stood up, then flinched as if for now reason. Inside, Amira, her other personality, was telling her to take the plate back up, but Mina really didn't want to. Miranda_ 05-09-2009 12:29 AM "I have all day to wait, you know. I don't do any work on board ship; not that I would, even if they took these off, but still; it means I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere." Diego shrugged. "If you change your mind, I'll just head back to my cell and crash out." spirit_queen 05-09-2009 12:33 AM "No, I'm just..." She sighed. "Well, it's not like you'd understand it..." She shook her head. "Alright, let's go, before something changes my mind." Miranda_ 05-09-2009 12:35 AM "So go already. I don't know where you're taking me, so start walking and I'll follow." spirit_queen 05-09-2009 12:37 AM Mina nodded and started leading him away. Miranda_ 05-09-2009 12:38 AM Diego walked after Mina, slowly. He had to be careful; if he tripped and fell, he'd just fall hard on the floor as he had nothing to save him. spirit_queen 05-09-2009 12:42 AM "We have to stop by my humble little room first to pick up a few things." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-09-2009 09:00 PM "Whatever; just don't take too long. I know what some people are like when it comes to poking around in their rooms." -.- Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 09:05 PM Yuni finished checking the status on the cryosleep inmates and headed for the door, taking her time and listening to the buzz of the various hoverbots flying around. Again, she heard footsteps, but once more when she turned around to look, there was nothing but a white expanse of floor behind her. |

Miranda_ 05-09-2009 09:07 PM Ooc: Edited; can you remove your comment cuz it looks weird now? A couple of guards were lounging in the corridor, taking a quick break before making checks on the inmates who were going places after breakfast. Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 09:09 PM Ooc: I fixed it. ~~ Yuni put the thermal suit in the locker it belonged in and headed out into the main hall, waving to some of the guards she knew. Wonder where Toombs is- What was that? She looked up at a vent, seeing something scurry by. "..." Miranda_ 05-09-2009 09:32 PM As he was following Mina along the corridor, Diego looked up at a vent, hearing a noise that sounded like scuffling. He saw nothing, but the noise quietened down. Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 09:40 PM Yuni stopped when the noise stopped, and she frowned, finally looking down the hall. "Hey, Diego, Mina." She'd seen Mina around the ship a couple of times; she knew her name mostly by reputation. "You guys hear that noise too?" Miranda_ 05-09-2009 09:54 PM Diego nodded, still looking with narrowed eyes up at the vent. "Think there could be someone in there? Can anyone get in?" Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 09:57 PM "Just the maintenance workers and a couple of inmates. Only one I can think of who's got work right now is Marty but he's in the sick ward today because he ate something that made him sick..." Miranda_ 05-09-2009 10:09 PM "The person up there isn't a worker; why would a worker try to be quiet?" Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 10:10 PM "So that they don't disrupt people." Miranda_ 05-09-2009 10:19 PM "Fine, then don't believe me. Just don't come crying to me when you find out I was right." :roll: Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 10:23 PM "Look, they're supposed to be quiet so they don't bother people. I don't see how you know anything when you've been on this ship maybe two months. You're green." Miranda_ 05-09-2009 10:26 PM "It's the same everywhere; someone who's sneaking around will always try to be quiet. I've got experience in that, so it doesn't matter that I haven't been here long. I might be green, but you're an arrogant know it all." Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 10:30 PM "Please. At least I know what protocol on the ship is, and that includes keeping your trap shut and your feet quiet when you're working in the vents!" Yuni spat at him and stalked off. Miranda_ 05-09-2009 10:34 PM Diego spat back. "Coward. You wouldn't do that if my hands were free." Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 10:37 PM "Go f**k yourself!" Miranda_ 05-09-2009 10:41 PM "Carry on proving my point; you're just digging yourself in deeper. Now I know why most of the guys in here think that women are just hysterical and constantly hormonal. I thought I knew better; guess I was wrong." Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 10:45 PM Yuni ignored him; she thought he was an obnoxious ar'sehole who thought he knew all and sundry. Miranda_ 05-09-2009 10:47 PM Diego spat at her again. He thought the same about her. "Thought you were worth knowing; guess I was wrong. Hope you die in pain." He walked off. Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 11:00 PM Yuni sat down in the recreation area, glaring across the room; she wasn't glaring at anybody in particular, but a couple people flinched away, mostly because feathers had started growing out of her arms and neck. O_o Miranda_ 05-09-2009 11:18 PM *later* Diego moodily sat down in the recreation area. He was bored, and there wasn't anything he could do with his arms pinioned. Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 11:20 PM Yuni was in a corner playing multi level chess against Toombs; despite the fact she hated him nearly as much as any other merc, Toombs had pretty much caught her fair and square. That and he wasn't a dirty merc; what gave him extra points was that he was his own merc and didn't report to the Alliance. ".." She moved a piece and took one of the pawns on the second of the three levels. "Check." He captured the king on the top level. "Checkmate." He grinned. Miranda_ 05-09-2009 11:31 PM Diego watched, envious of their easy companionship. Despite what he'd said to Yuni, he didn't hate her; he just felt irritated that she wouldn't even listen to his theory about the vents, just insisted that she was right. Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 11:36 PM "You suck at this game, Yuni." "Get stuffed." She laughed a bit. "So, how are the other mercs treating you?" "Meh, same as always. Always making fun that I couldn't catch mister shiney eyes." "Not your fault. He's a real tricky one." Yuni put the pieces back and got up; somebody else wanted to play against Toombs now. "Wish I could've had a shot. That would've been fun." "You don't go after bounties though." "So?" Miranda_ 05-09-2009 11:40 PM Diego listened, idly wondering who it was who'd caught him. Whoever it was, he certainly planned to make them die painfully when he got out of this place. Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 11:42 PM "Just sayin'. If you went after Ridd'ck, you'd be dead. He ain't human." "I could say the same about you, buddy." She chuckled. "Hey, hey, hey, just because I'm a mutie doesn't mean I got no feelings, sweatheart." He ran a hand through his curly red hair absently. "Your friend's gawkin' at us." ".." Yuni was mentally grumbling. Miranda_ 05-09-2009 11:47 PM Diego quickly looked away. He stared down at the restraints, wishing he didn't have to wear them most of the time. But he wasn't trusted on the ship, and probably wouldn't ever be. For good reason; Diego knew that he probably would hex someone if driven to it, and if he wasn't restrained. He never bothered to check his impulses. Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 11:51 PM Before Yuni could answer, Toombs waved over at Diego. "Hey, you any good at chess?" Miranda_ 05-09-2009 11:55 PM "Crap," Diego answered without looking up. "Just like I am at most board games." Silent_Wolf 05-09-2009 11:57 PM "Can you play poker?" Yuni wished Toombs would shut up. Miranda_ 05-09-2009 11:59 PM "Yeah, but I'm a bad loser. Just warning you now." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 12:03 AM "I'm not braggy, believe me. I suck at it too." He chuckled. "Come on over here, then, let's play." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 12:11 AM "I can't use my hands. Just how do you suggest I hold the cards?" Diego got up and went over to Toombs. Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 12:15 AM "Yuni'll hold the cards for you." Yuni inwardly cringed. Miranda_ 05-10-2009 12:20 AM "She won't. She hates me cuz I wouldn't drop my theory and believe in hers instead. She hates people who have their own mind." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 12:22 AM "Yuni? Pshh, she's a softie, can't hate anybody." "Can so," she muttered. Miranda_ 05-10-2009 12:24 AM Diego shrugged. "She already decided she hates me." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 12:25 AM "I bet it's just an act. She does it to everybody. She gave me the cold shoulder for about a year before she even gave me the time of day again." Yuni couldn't help it; she started laughing. "Oh shut up, Toombs, it was two months and you know it!" "See?" Miranda_ 05-10-2009 12:32 AM Diego looked unconvinced. "That's you, tho. She still hates me. In any case, I still can't play without being able to hold the cards, and I can't be trusted enough for the guards to take the restraints off." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 12:33 AM "She'll hold the cards for you, won't you, Yuni?" "Whatever." Yuni tried to look unannoyed. Miranda_ 05-10-2009 12:35 AM "Fine. -.- Guess it'll pass the time til lunch." spirit_queen 05-10-2009 11:52 AM Meanwhile, Mina had 'abandoned' Diego because Amira had been called in to work on something. While Mina hadn't really been too concerned about the noises in the vent -any prisoner who was up there was most likely trying to avoid people, and a worker was harmless-, Amira was scared outta her mind. The difference between Mina and Amira was dramatic, almost comical. I magine a tomboyish actor going onstage and playing a girly-girl, and you have the sudden switch in personality. The way she walked, gestured, and behaves was differwent. Amira spoke with a higher and softer tone of voice. Unfortunately, this made her an easy target, so Mina waited by to take over in case that happened. |

Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 12:22 PM Toombs got a pack of cards out and dealt them; Yuni picked up Diego's cards after grabbing another chair. There was some more scuffling in the vents, but a couple of times it was either critters - mainly odd looking, squirrel-like creatures - and other times still it was just guards prowling in the vents to make sure nobody was in them. spirit_queen 05-10-2009 12:26 PM Amira jumped every time she heard something. XD Amira, stop that! You're embarassing me! Mina growled in her head. I can't help it! Amira managed to reply. Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 12:32 PM Amira had a bit of a right to be panicky; there was one person that wasn't a guard or critter. He was crouched in a vent nearby, just watching; there was a light curiousity about why Mina was suddenly acting like a chicken, because the couple of times he'd seen her around the ship she was a real brute. Interesting. spirit_queen 05-10-2009 12:39 PM There! Done! Take over, please, you know I have no coordinationa nd cna't defend myself. Amira said. to the stranger, all he would have seen was that when 'Amira' stood, she was back to the tomboy version; all confidence, and, er, brutishness, if that's even a word. She rolled her eyes (at Amira, actually), then cracked her knuckles and mumbled "I wonder if it's lunch time yet." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 12:40 PM The figure in the vent moved on, though he made a mental note to check where she had to work in the future; her behaviour was peculiar and he wondered why. However, it was a very detached wonder; he didn't actually care. spirit_queen 05-10-2009 12:46 PM Mina wandered by the games room, then stopped when she saw -what was his name again? Oh, yeah, Diego, the guy with the cuffs- sitting by an Avian and Toombs. She almost felt bad for abandoning the kid earlier, but, yet, she wans't gonna get int trouble for ditchin' on duty just to play games with a bored, bratty human. Heck, he looked fine right now, by the look of things. Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 12:52 PM The man in the vent was following, though inadvertantly as the vents generally followed hallways, and he stopped to watch the poker game for a moment. He wasn't particularly fond of mercs, especially not ones that will use whatever means necessary to capture a target; but Toombs was about the only one he'd ever run into that had some vague sense of morals. Doesn't mean he likes the guy, though. spirit_queen 05-10-2009 12:55 PM "Aw, what the heck." Mina muttered. She walked right in. "'Ey, Toomba, got any more cards? I've a mind to join ya." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 12:58 PM ".. Toomba?" Yuni started laughing. "Come on in." She reshuffled the cards and dealt them out again, still holding Diego's for him. spirit_queen 05-10-2009 01:03 PM Mina shrugged. "That's what came outta my mouth." She said. Mina picked up her cards. Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 01:04 PM "That makes me sound like a tuba." Toombs chuckled and checked his cards; his face went slightly pale. "..." spirit_queen 05-10-2009 01:05 PM Mina raised an eyebrow. "Ey, marching band boy, what happened to your poker face?" Miranda_ 05-10-2009 01:05 PM Diego said nothing to Mina; he was still a bit annoyed at her for ditching him earlier. He glanced at his cards; they were pretty good, but he maintained a bored expression out of habit. Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 01:07 PM "Nothing, just need to sneeze." "Liar." Yuni yawned. "You never had a poker face." She looked at Diego with a raised eyebrow. "Fold or no?" Miranda_ 05-10-2009 01:11 PM "No," said Diego. "I don't need to. What about everyone else?" Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 01:14 PM The man in the vents tilted his head, watching Diego; why was he handcuffed to his own waist? That would be something to look up in the computer when he went back. He seemed pretty c'ocky, too; most mutated humans were smug, but he appeared to think he was truly above and beyond regular humans. ... How boring. spirit_queen 05-10-2009 01:15 PM Mina shook her head. Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 01:18 PM Toombs put his cards facedown; he wasn't gonna throw his hand in. spirit_queen 05-10-2009 01:21 PM Mina burped, then, before she could stop herself, said in a higher-pitched voice (Amira's) "Excuse me!" Hey, that was uncalled for, Amira! But ti was gross, and I know you woulnd't even consider saying it, so I did. Outwardly, Mina was scowling. Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 01:22 PM "Good one!" Toombs laughed. spirit_queen 05-10-2009 01:22 PM "Thanks." Mina said with a crooked grin. Miranda_ 05-10-2009 01:23 PM Diego looked at Toombs. "So, want to raise your bet?" Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 01:23 PM "I'm out." He shrugged. spirit_queen 05-10-2009 01:26 PM "I will." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-10-2009 01:34 PM "Fine, I'm cool with that." Diego could still hear noises in the vent; it didn't sound like animals or even workers; far too stealthly. Plus, they'd centralised, as tho whoever it was had stopped to spy on them. Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 01:37 PM "So, cards down then?" Yuni was listening to the noises too, but they'd apparently stopped. Miranda_ 05-10-2009 01:40 PM "As long as I get to stay in, then fine." Diego leaned forward and whispered to Yuni, "You do know that we're being spied on, right?" Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 01:42 PM "... I do hear somethin-" Something fell out of the vent behind them; rather, somebody. However, it was a repair worker; they sat up and rubbed the back of their head, wincing. "Dammit, tripped on my own da.mn boots again." He looked up at the vent. "..." Both Yuni and Toombs, as well as most of the others in the room, started laughing. Miranda_ 05-10-2009 01:46 PM Diego rolled his eyes. "No, it was nowhere near as clumsy as that moron." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 01:47 PM "..." Yuni was listening to the inside of the vent; she could hear really faint footsteps, but they were getting quieter and quieter until she couldn't hear it anymore. "Whoever was watching us, and whoever tripped up the maintenance guy, they're gone now." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 01:53 PM "Yeah," said Diego, relaxing a bit more. "It's unnerving knowing that we're being watched like that." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 02:10 PM "Maybe it was just somebody who likes poker games and stopped to watch." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 02:28 PM "That's a bit naive. Why would anyone who was hiding in the vents do that? They're not necessarily friendly towards us." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 02:28 PM "Maybe they're scared of you?" Miranda_ 05-10-2009 02:34 PM "Doubt it. With my arms pinioned like this, I'm no danger to anyone." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 02:37 PM "Doesn't mean there's nobody who doesn't ... wat a minute." Yuni had to count off how many negatives she was using, she wasn't making much sense. XD Miranda_ 05-10-2009 02:47 PM "Could be someone who knows a person who got in my way, I guess." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 02:58 PM "That makes more sense." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 03:00 PM "Cuz it wouldn't actually be someone I've marked; none of my marks that lived would be in any fit state to crawl around in vents." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 03:03 PM "Plus I doubt they'd be on this ship. This is a transporter prison ship, for taking prisoners to other facilities or for carrying extra prisoners that aren't precisely dangerous." Yuni didn't mention that she was being dropped off at the next destination, Crematoria. |

Miranda_ 05-10-2009 03:21 PM Diego was also destined for Crematoria, but chose not to mention the fact either. "They're probably in hospital, or with a permanent desk job." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 03:22 PM "Or locked in a loony bin somewhere." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 03:53 PM "That's also probable. They deserve it tho." spirit_queen 05-10-2009 07:13 PM Mina was scowling at the vents that had he;d the extra noise. She was wondering if the whoever-it-was was worth chasing; she was good at stealth herself, tohugh she figured this person would be challenge. On one hand, she reveled in any challenge presented to her. On the other hand, anybody sneaking aounrd this place and tripping up workers was bound to be huge trouble when confronted. Not to mention Amira was definitely not for it; it's hard to concentrate on the hunt when your other half is yapping away in your head. Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 07:54 PM Yuni nudged Mina. "Hey, don't be going up there. I doubt you have clearance to." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 08:29 PM "Besides, what's to stop them from tripping you and chucking you down here?" Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 08:31 PM "Or worse." Toombs yawned. Miranda_ 05-10-2009 08:47 PM "Yeah, like what the guy who slung me in here did. He sneaked up behind me and sprayed poison gas in my face." Diego rolled his eyes. "I only woke up when I was on my way to the ship." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 08:49 PM "Toombs caught me fair and square. Course I probably could've gotten away if I'd gone a different way out and not landed in a dumpster..." "You were tired, birdy." "Don't call me that." -.-; Miranda_ 05-10-2009 09:19 PM "I hate sneaky cowards who don't fight face to face. When I get out of here, I'm going to find out who it was and make them dead." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 09:28 PM "You have fun with that. You might want to buy one of them fancy motion detectors they came out with." Toombs nodded. "Best da.mn things I ever used." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 09:51 PM "Any idea of who it might be? You could save me some trouble." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 09:53 PM "It could be anybody, that's the problem. I know a lot of dirty mercs, a couple of them Yuni here killed off before I finally nabbed her." spirit_queen 05-10-2009 09:53 PM "No idea, kiddo. Hey, I never apologized for ditchin' you earlier. Well, I left because I was called away to work on somethin'." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 10:11 PM "Yeah, whatever; guess you had better things to do than hang around me," said Diego. To Toombs, he said, "She'd better not have killed this guy, or I'll have to kill her, instead." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 10:11 PM "Can't have happened, me'n'her's been here ten years now, haven't gotten off the ship." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 10:22 PM "Whoever they are, they're on this ship now. I just wondered if you knew who they were." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 10:22 PM "They might not be on the ship. Sometimes people just drop the marks off at transporters and get their pay from somewhere else." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 10:33 PM "Unlikely. This guy was driving the transporter; I didn't see him cuz he blindfolded me as well as putting me in a straitjacket, but I heard his voice." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 10:35 PM "I meant they just drop them at the big transporter ships like this one." Jeez, Jimmy boy is gonna have fun when this guy breaks out. Miranda_ 05-10-2009 10:36 PM "I know he's here," said Diego, stubbornly. "And he's going to regret it when I get out of here." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 10:39 PM "He's not. You weren't listed as coming on with a mercenary." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 10:45 PM "Bullsh*t. You probably know who he is, and you're protecting him." Silent_Wolf 05-10-2009 10:45 PM "Buddy, if I knew who it was, I'd tell you." Toombs sighed. "I'm drawing a blank here." spirit_queen 05-10-2009 10:46 PM Mina snorted. "Why'd he do that? Just cuz he's a merc? Not likely." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 11:03 PM "You people always protect your own, that's why." spirit_queen 05-10-2009 11:06 PM Mina laughed. Hard. "I look out for my own hide, and my own hide only. A long time ago I cared for another, but then I realized love is pointless." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 11:14 PM "Wasn't talking about love. As if I believe in such crap." spirit_queen 05-10-2009 11:18 PM "What I'm sayin' is that I don't help anybody, my 'kind' or no, unless I can get somethin outta it." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-10-2009 11:26 PM "That's just you; what about Toombs?" spirit_queen 05-10-2009 11:37 PM Mina shrugged. "I doubt it." Miranda_ 05-10-2009 11:40 PM "He can talk for himself, you know. You're not his mother." spirit_queen 05-11-2009 09:41 AM Mina just rolled her eyes. Silent_Wolf 05-11-2009 11:22 AM "Kid, I've been on this ship for ten years now. If I had a family, I'd probably be out with them. Obviously, I don't have one or I wouldn't be there." Toombs yawned again. Miranda_ 05-11-2009 11:48 AM "I wasn't talking about family, stupid. More of aquaintences or friends. And seeing as you're going to so much trouble to deny that this guy is on board, when I know for a fact that he is, I'm thinking he is a friend of yours." spirit_queen 05-11-2009 11:49 AM Mina snorted. "You're jumping to conclusions with little evidence." Miranda_ 05-11-2009 12:02 PM Diego fixed her with a hard stare. "I know this guy is on board; I've heard his voice on here. So, what's the point of constantly denying that he is?" Silent_Wolf 05-11-2009 08:56 PM "Because he's not. Look, I do know the guy but I haven't the faintest idea what his name is. We just know each other by appearance. Hell, I can't even remember my teammates' names whenever I'm working with people. I give them nicknames. Like your guy; I couldn't remember his name and I'd never worked with him, so I called him Jimmy." "Yep, Toombs, you're no elephant. You're a fish." Miranda_ 05-12-2009 12:22 AM "I know he's on here; I heard his voice. You're not helping him in the slightest by denying what I know to be true." Silent_Wolf 05-12-2009 08:45 PM "Look, I don't know if he's on here or not. I don't even leave the recreation room half the time and if he is on here, I've never seen 'im." Toombs was telling the truth. |

Miranda_ 05-12-2009 08:52 PM "Well, he is. I heard his voice when I was being taken to my cell the first time." Silent_Wolf 05-12-2009 08:55 PM "Have you heard him since?" "Okay, okay, break it up, you two, quit screaming, we can hear you in the cafeteria." One of the guards had come over. spirit_queen 05-12-2009 08:55 PM "What does he sound like? Maybe I know 'im, and can tell ya if he's on the ship." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-12-2009 09:05 PM Diego scowled at the guard. "I wasn't screaming. And he just sounds like a regular guy, with a posh accent." spirit_queen 05-12-2009 09:07 PM "What kinda posh accent? Like what you'd call British?" Mina said. Miranda_ 05-12-2009 09:17 PM "Don't know, just posh which means he wasn't from old Earth." spirit_queen 05-12-2009 09:24 PM "Oh. Can you try to imitate it?" Mina said. Miranda_ 05-12-2009 09:27 PM "No. -.- But I'd know it if I heard it." spirit_queen 05-12-2009 09:29 PM "Oh... lemme see if i can thik of people with weird accents on board and imitate 'em..." Mina said, Miranda_ 05-12-2009 09:48 PM "I doubt that'll work; in any case, it doesn't matter now, not at the moment." spirit_queen 05-12-2009 09:50 PM Mina shrugged. "'Kay." Miranda_ 05-12-2009 09:58 PM *later* It was nearing lunchtime. spirit_queen 05-12-2009 10:03 PM Amira was once again at work on something or other. Silent_Wolf 05-12-2009 10:09 PM Yuni was shuffling cards to amuse herself. Miranda_ 05-12-2009 10:11 PM Diego was waiting impatiently for the guard to come and remove his restraints. Silent_Wolf 05-12-2009 10:33 PM "Yeah, yeah, yeah, quit glarin'." The guard uncuffed him. Miranda_ 05-12-2009 10:39 PM "You took your sweet time," grumbled Diego. "What were you doing, having a bath or something?" spirit_queen 05-12-2009 10:41 PM At this point, Amira skipped in, and I mean skipped. She was in control for now, as the Mina personality was napping. She was so excited, she could hardly contain her joy. Silent_Wolf 05-12-2009 10:53 PM "You want these off or not?" -_- Yuni looked up. "..." O_O Miranda_ 05-12-2009 11:13 PM "Off." Diego stopped arguing, but looked sulky. Silent_Wolf 05-12-2009 11:14 PM The guard finished taking off the restraints. "You know the drill." Miranda_ 05-12-2009 11:29 PM "Yeah yeah, I go to the canteen, I eat dinner then you put these stupid things back on after." Silent_Wolf 05-12-2009 11:32 PM "Alrighty, off with you." Miranda_ 05-12-2009 11:42 PM Diego started to walk towards the canteen. Silent_Wolf 05-12-2009 11:43 PM Yuni was walking there as well. "You see Mina?" O_o "She's SKIPPING." Miranda_ 05-12-2009 11:48 PM "Maybe she's on drugs. Is this place always so boring?" Silent_Wolf 05-12-2009 11:55 PM "Not usually." She yawned. "I'm pretty much ready to go back to my cell and sleep the day away. But I've got another shift in cryosleep so I can't." Miranda_ 05-12-2009 11:59 PM "I haven't had one of those yet. What's it like?" Silent_Wolf 05-13-2009 12:15 AM "I walk around in a thermso... oh wait, cryosleep? Basically, they use this chemical to knock you out and keep you in cold storage. I was in there for..hmm." She thought. "A good month or more after I managed to knock a couple guards off the coil. It's not entertaining, you get 2 minutes of mandatory exercise then PING! Out like a light." Miranda_ 05-13-2009 12:21 AM "I wouldn't even try to kill any of these guards. I already got told that if I try, I get put in solitary. I'll probably go back to my cell after dinner and sleep; I'm tired, cuz of having to get up at stupid o'clock." Silent_Wolf 05-13-2009 12:22 AM "I didn't mean to kill them. They got in the way of the table I threw to block the inmates getting into the canteen!" Miranda_ 05-13-2009 12:41 AM "Why did you throw a table? Seems like overkill." Silent_Wolf 05-13-2009 12:44 AM "Only way to keep inmates from getting involved in a riot. The doors are huge." Miranda_ 05-13-2009 12:51 AM Diego shrugged. "I could stop them in an easier way. True, I'd end up being punished for using my power, but it would still work. I could drench them all in water or something." spirit_queen 05-13-2009 02:37 AM "Heeeellooo!" Amira said as she came by, carriyng a tray. "Well, okay, you guys don't really know me... Mina's asleep." She said. "I'm Amira, Mina's other personality." Miranda_ 05-13-2009 11:16 AM Diego could tell; he wasn't sure if he liked Amira. She seemed too annoyingly chirpy. XD Silent_Wolf 05-13-2009 11:30 AM "I can't use water though. If I could change to my true form then I'd flap them all out but the canteen's not big enough." Yuni stared at Amira. "... Um. Okay. That makes sense to why she talks to herself constantly." spirit_queen 05-13-2009 12:01 PM Suddenly, Amira's posture changed ad Mina woke up. Amira, go to sleep, you're embarassing me! Miranda_ 05-13-2009 12:19 PM "I can't technically use water; I'd just make all the water nearby, from pipes and stuff, come out and go over everyone." Silent_Wolf 05-13-2009 08:51 PM "Least you can use it whenever. Well, obviously bar this ship but you get the point." Yuni blinked; Mina or Amira or whoever she was, was weirding her out. XD ".. Did you get hit a bit too hard in a game of Rockball?" |

spirit_queen 05-13-2009 08:58 PM "No." Mina said, folding her arms across her chest. "It happened when I was kidnapped, oh, fifty years ago to be a slave. They literally tossed me in and I landed on my head." She huffed. "that's when it started. First I though I was schizophrenic cuz I kept hearing this voice, then I learned otherwise. The other personality, who I named Amira, found out that she was good with technology. That's how we escaped." Silent_Wolf 05-13-2009 09:03 PM "...suuurrre." O_o spirit_queen 05-13-2009 09:05 PM Mina rolled ehr eyes. "You don't have to believe me." Miranda_ 05-13-2009 09:05 PM "You're not one of those people who constantly moans about how hard their life is?" said Diego. "I hate people like that; my life started out crap, but unlike some people I actually worked to make it better rather than sitting around whinging about it." spirit_queen 05-14-2009 01:51 AM "Generally, I don't; there's no point, and no one cares. I just go on and do what I like when I like." Miranda_ 05-14-2009 01:46 PM "Good, cuz that's what I do. I don't care what people think." spirit_queen 05-14-2009 09:21 PM "Best that way; you'd go insane before you could please everyone." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-14-2009 11:52 PM "I don't even try. Anyway, I'm starving. There'd better be something good for lunch." spirit_queen 05-15-2009 11:01 AM "I thought I saw steak." Mina said. "I love steak." Silent_Wolf 05-15-2009 11:22 AM "I hope there's barbecue chicken." Yuni grinned. Most Avians didn't eat bird, which made her a little peculiar. spirit_queen 05-15-2009 11:26 AM Mina raised an eyebrow. "You know, there are some who'd cally a a cannibal for sayin' that." Silent_Wolf 05-15-2009 11:30 AM "One problem." She held up a finger. "I'm a hawk Avian. Hawks eat chicken. Okay, most I know just eat other forms of meat but they're crazy." spirit_queen 05-15-2009 11:33 AM Mina smirked. "Doesn't really matter ot me." Silent_Wolf 05-15-2009 11:37 AM "It better not." Yuni laughed and headed to the cafeteria. spirit_queen 05-15-2009 11:38 AM Mina cut in front of her. xD Silent_Wolf 05-15-2009 11:40 AM "Hey, no fair." Yuni stuck her tongue out at her. spirit_queen 05-15-2009 11:41 AM "I got a bigger stomach than you, Tweety, so I go first." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 05-15-2009 11:44 AM "Pfft, that's a common misconception." spirit_queen 05-15-2009 11:45 AM "Well, I like this misconception, because it lets me have an excuse to cut you." XD Miranda_ 05-15-2009 04:26 PM While they were arguing, Diego just cut in front of both of them. XD spirit_queen 05-15-2009 08:06 PM "Hey, hey, squirt! I'm first!" Mina said, cutting him. XD Miranda_ 05-15-2009 08:09 PM "I'm not bothered; the more time I spend in here, the more time it is til they come and put the restraints back on," said Diego, shrugging. "And less of the squirt; I could probably kill you, and put your stuffed and mounted head on my wall." XD spirit_queen 05-15-2009 08:10 PM "That's cuz of your powers; your powers don't make you taller, squirt." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-15-2009 08:16 PM "Yeah, but only cuz I don't want to be. I can make the impossible happen; I certainly could make myself grow." spirit_queen 05-15-2009 08:25 PM "Ah. Well, then you shoce to be a squirt, so don't make a big deal out of it when I call ya squirt, squirt." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-15-2009 08:35 PM "Just warning you. The only reason you're getting away with it is cuz of where you are." spirit_queen 05-15-2009 08:38 PM "I'm not making fun of you, or anything. Looking harmless must have its advantages." Miranda_ 05-15-2009 08:45 PM "It does, at that," replied Diego. "It puts marks off their guard, til it's too late." spirit_queen 05-15-2009 08:46 PM "See?" Mina said. Miranda_ 05-15-2009 08:55 PM "I just don't like being called names, even if it's about something that's to my advantage." Silent_Wolf 05-15-2009 08:57 PM "I got called chickensh*t once. Made no sense to me." Yuni grabbed some trays and handed the two extra to Diego and Mina. "I'm not scared of anything except maybe whatever attacked my homeworld." spirit_queen 05-15-2009 09:10 PM "I dunno what I don't like. Closeness, I guess." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-15-2009 09:24 PM "I don't like people who whine about their situation but don't do anything about it. There's people like that on Old Earth, still." spirit_queen 05-15-2009 09:26 PM "Not much point in that." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 05-15-2009 09:28 PM "I never did go there." Yuni 'yay'ed when she saw the bbq chicken. XD "Meant to stop there on a vacation." spirit_queen 05-15-2009 09:32 PM Mina took a large helping. XD Miranda_ 05-15-2009 09:40 PM "Don't bother; it's a cesspit." Diego took some chicken for himself. Silent_Wolf 05-15-2009 09:46 PM "I just want to see the ruins of the cities. I wonder what they looked like before it was destroyed." Miranda_ 05-15-2009 10:11 PM "I wouldn't know. I never really thought about that kind of thing." Silent_Wolf 05-18-2009 01:51 PM "If it was still around, I'd take you guys to Anzion, but I can't." She sighed. "Come on, let's go ea-" A siren started blaring above their heads; it echoed through the whole entire ship. "This is not a drill. Inmates are to stay where they are; this is a lockdown. Any inmates found in the halls when the emergency doors are shut will be detained and/or shot. The safe rooms are the cafeteria, all prison bays, all guard and merc dormitories, the navigation room, and the cryo storage room. I repeat, this is not a drill. Stay where you are. Guards and mercs not on repair duty are to report to the nav bay, NOW!" ".. Ain't that the sub captain?" Yuni shrugged and sat down at a table with her tray. "Haven't heard her in awhile. Wonder what's got her panties in a twist this time." -- In the navigation room, the sub captain - a Draconian, with black scales around her orange eyes and dreadlocked black hair pulled into loops and braids - was pacing back and forth, glaring at the multiple screens in the room that were showing the carnage that had occured in one of the storage rooms; two people - a guard and a prisoner - had been sorting out the equipment and something had damaged the camera, and the tapes continued to replay the before and after. One minute the inmate and guard were joking around and laughing; something black flashed in front of the camera briefly, then nothing but static snow could be seen. The microphone in the camera however picked up screaming and yelling, then silence and footsteps, but even the sound of walking faded before the camera began to work again, showing the bloodied room and the two dead men. "I want this ship searched top to f**king bottom. I want security personnel in the vents patrolling at all hours and instate an ID system so we can keep the people who aren't authorized out." She turned to face the guards, her eyes narrowed. "I also want all prisoners who have work duty on the ship to be monitored constantly. Just because this prisoner was also killed doesn't mean he didn't kill the guard. Any prisoners with a history of violence will be taken off the work force." "... C-Captain, that means just about all of them." "You know what I f**king mean, Sholtz!" She threw a nearby coordinate plate at him; he ducked. "I meant on this ship! I will not tolerate the prisoners becoming violent. Word of a possible intruder is not to get out. Do. You. Understand. Me." "Yes, Captain!" "Dismissed. If anybody asks about ID or the updated security, it's to prevent accidents. Nothing more." She grimaced and walked back over to the screens, watching the reel once more. |

spirit_queen 05-18-2009 09:14 PM Unfortunately, Mina got there a little late for that, due to having to weave through a crowd of confused inmates. Silent_Wolf 05-18-2009 09:20 PM "What do you want?" The sub captain turned around; she was less hostile toward Mina because she was a Draconian, too. "You missed the meeting. Besides, you're needed over in the recreation hall. The mind trainer machine broke again." spirit_queen 05-18-2009 09:24 PM Mina sighed. "I just got out of the cafeteria; inmates tend to not get out of my way even when I shove." She said. "Wish I could go all draco on 'em and scare 'em. You know a little burned hair waon't harm 'em." She muttered. "Anyways, tell whoever's in charge of the search to check the vents." Silent_Wolf 05-18-2009 09:31 PM "We're working on that right now. We haven't found anything yet." She righed, rubbing her face. "I hope the captain doesn't find out about this too soon, they'll kill me." spirit_queen 05-18-2009 09:39 PM "I think you do a fine job." Mina said. "Better 'n some, certainly. Anyways, there was a lotta movement in the vents earlier today. But tell your men to be careful; whoever this is is apparently a master at his craft. Let only the best on board handle 'im, f it's a him and not a her." Silent_Wolf 05-18-2009 09:44 PM "I know. I've been getting reports of somebody in there that shouldn't be." She gestured to the monitors. "And whoever it was killed one of the guards and one of the inmates that we were planning to drop off at Crematoria." spirit_queen 05-18-2009 09:48 PM Mina sighed. "I guess there's no more delaying the repairs in the rec room, is there?" She said with a wince. Silent_Wolf 05-18-2009 09:51 PM "I suppose not. But if you want, you can check out the vents. Here's a vent tool." She fumbled in a drawer and handed it to her; it pretty much looked like part of a tire tool to put hubcaps back onto wheels. "You go into the guard quarters and take the door on the left once you're inside. Go through the maintenance hallway and into the ventilation room." spirit_queen 05-18-2009 09:53 PM Mina grinned, and was just about to shout "Yes!', but remembered she wasn't supposed to in front of a superior. XD Instead she said, "Yes, ma'am!", in a much more controled but still obviously excited tone. Silent_Wolf 05-18-2009 09:56 PM The sub captain smiled faintly. "You can shout for joy, you know. You're not a guard." spirit_queen 05-18-2009 09:59 PM So Mina did. XD Silent_Wolf 05-18-2009 10:00 PM She laughed a little. "Go on now, go get looking around. Watch your step around the recreation area though, the vent that the repairman fell through hasn't been fixed yet." spirit_queen 05-18-2009 10:02 PM Mina nodded. "I was there when he fell, I'll remember." Silent_Wolf 05-18-2009 10:03 PM "Be careful." The sub captain turned back to the monitors. spirit_queen 05-18-2009 10:05 PM Mina nodded. She left for the vent room. Silent_Wolf 05-18-2009 10:12 PM The ventilation room was fairly big, and there were numerous hexagonal doors on the walls next to ladders; one, however, was wide open and was moving back and forth on its hinge, as though it had just opened. spirit_queen 05-18-2009 10:26 PM Mina could assume that the guards had simply left it open like that, but she wasn't; she'd investigate first, just in case. After all, this guy, whoever he was, might have figured out they were looking for him in the vents. Silent_Wolf 05-18-2009 10:32 PM So far though, the room itself seemed empty. Through the open vent, the voices of guards talking away could be heard. spirit_queen 05-18-2009 10:37 PM But Mina kept searching. She's shut the door tot he ventilation room; if anyone was in here but herself, they'd have to either open the door or go up inot the vents for escape, both of which would be noticeable. Silent_Wolf 05-18-2009 10:44 PM A couple of guards nearby waved, then continued on checking the numerous vents; it was basically a maze and the only way to tell where you were as regards to location was to look out one of the vent covers dotting the sheet metal. spirit_queen 05-18-2009 11:44 PM Mina nodded, then started checking every spot in that room. Miranda_ 05-18-2009 11:48 PM In the cafeteria, Diego's first reaction to the announcement was to say, "It wasn't me. Whatever happened, I didn't do it." Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 11:19 AM "We know, we know." Yuni just continued to eat her lunch. One of the larger areas in the vent system was above the cell blocks; the guards had already gone through it, but there was a faint scuffling in the northwest vent that connected to it. Ooc: Maps of this level of the ship and its vents are finished, they're on the first page in my second post. spirit_queen 05-19-2009 11:28 AM Eventually, Mina checked the entire room; it was empty. She sighed, then went up into the vents. She didn't need a light; as a draconian, she already had good vision on the dark. She concentrated on making as little noise as possible; the guards had sounded like a herd of elephants, which is probably why the escapee remained hidden, because he could hear them coming. Not her! She'd be as quiet as he was (why she was still labeling it a 'he', she didn't know; she believed women just as capable of these sort of things as men), and she's be the one to catch him. Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 11:42 AM Eventually though, the footsteps stopped. Guards could still be heard in various areas of the vent system, but they were far off. The man in the vents had jumped up onto the ceiling; the vents being large enough for a full grown Avian man to stand in, there was a mess of wires and metal bars across the top of the vents in some places and that was where he was holding onto. He stayed completely still, though he'd tilted his head back slightly so he could see, and the welder's goggles he usually wore had been tossed on the floor further down the hall. Because he was up on the ceiling, the surreal shine in his eyes wasn't visible. spirit_queen 05-19-2009 11:51 AM When mina looked out of some opening or other to check where she was, she saw the goggles. He dind't get out of the vent system, did he? She paused a moment. Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 08:59 PM That was when his arms let go of the metal bars in the vent and let him hang with his feet; he grabbed her around the waist and clamped a hand over her mouth to stifle screams. "Shh. Don't scream. I'm not going to hurt you." His voice was fairly low, nearly gravely, and it wasn't threatening. spirit_queen 05-19-2009 10:08 PM "I don't do screaming." Mina said after she'd jumped a little. Of course, behind the hand, this sounded more like "uh dnnfdfooo sfeem" Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 10:09 PM There was a faint chuckle. "I just have a few questions and I wasn't about to ask people who have guns and less brains than a bioraptor." He loosed his grip on her mouth a little. "Who's the captain of the ship? And I don't mean the Draconian sub captain." spirit_queen 05-19-2009 10:28 PM "That's the thing. I'd tell ya, but I don't have a clue. Even Subby doesn't know." Mina often referred to the sub-captain as 'subby'. XD Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 10:32 PM "..." The man nodded slightly, though it wasn't detectable; he'd figured nobody would know who the captain was. "What's the ship's destination?" spirit_queen 05-19-2009 10:34 PM "Crematoria, of course." Mina said. "A real hell-hole." Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 10:46 PM "Hm." His grip loosened more. "What's the cuffed kid's story? Seems a little young to be on here." spirit_queen 05-19-2009 10:54 PM "He likes looking young and harmless; he finds it to his advantage. he has these weirdo mutant powers and can... it sounds like he manipulates matter and circumstances aournd him, somehow." Mina wished the escapee had trapped her somewhere just a little bigger, so she could go draco. In the hallway, she was way too small. But the escaee was turning out interesting; yes, he was obviously ruthless if needed to be, but he didn't seem needlessly cruel... well, as far as one could expect form one like him (it was definitely a 'he' now). Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 11:00 PM ".. Interesting. But he's very boring. Too self important." He paused. "You, on the other hand, are interesting, more so than he is, because you're a Draconian. I've never fought one of you. Don't plan on it, either." He tilted his head. "And on top of that you talk to yourself." spirit_queen 05-19-2009 11:05 PM "Two personalities. Not fun." She said. "Especially since my other one's a wimp." She wondered whether it would be worth it to try to break his grip; although it was a bit loose right now, she wasn't dumb, and new this guy had a lot of strength just by the feel of his arms around her. Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 11:13 PM "I doubt that." Sudden footsteps at the end of the vent made him let go of her and jump down to grab the goggles on the floor; what could be seen of him was a tall, sturdy figure with a shaven head, a black wifebeater and black jeans. "Have a nice day." There was a hint of humor in his voice as he glanced at her - the shine in his eyes flashed slightly - before he darted off. spirit_queen 05-19-2009 11:20 PM Well, at least she now knew there was little point in trying to get one of his hairs to get his DNA form his head. XD Mina wondered if her doubted the double-personality thing, or the fact that Amira was a wimp. I am not a wimp! If you're not a wimp, then you're a scaredy cat, which is almost the same thing. Am not and is not! Just shut up, Amira. Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 11:27 PM Some of the guards ran past her to chase after, and one stayed with her. "Did you get a good look at him?" spirit_queen 05-19-2009 11:28 PM Mina shrugged. "He jumped down from behind, so I didn't get a good glimpse at all because by the time I swivoled around to look he was more or less gone." that wasn't all a lie... just mostly. |

Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 11:41 PM "Dammit. Jun's not gonna like this." The guard radioed the sub captain as he walked away. "Mina almost got killed by the guy, she didn't get a good look at him, Jun." "YOU ARE SUCH A-" Censored for expletives. Jun is not a happy Draconian. O_o spirit_queen 05-19-2009 11:44 PM "I was not almost killed!" Mina yelled. "I'm not that defenseless!" Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 11:48 PM The guard didn't answer, too busy flinching from the verbal abuse spewing from the radio. XD *later* spirit_queen 05-19-2009 11:54 PM Mina had gone to change clothes. And for a good reason; the shirt she'd been wearing now had the scent of the stranger who'd taken her by surprise. She intended to memorize it and track him down by scent. She would've told Subby cap'n Jun, but she felt like doing this solo. Silent_Wolf 05-19-2009 11:56 PM Toombs was waiting out in the hall of the mercenary dorms. "I hear you ran into a stowaway." spirit_queen 05-20-2009 12:00 AM "Yup. I was more or less on his trail, then jumped down when I saw some goggles. He then jumped down behind me and grabbed me; he's a fast one, he is, to catch me like that, cuz I ain't slow to begin with." She paused. She said that last part matter-of-factly; she didn't see the point in bragging much, as it usually only made enemies. Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 12:01 AM ".. goggles?" Toombs' eyes narrowed. "Were his eyes all bright and weird shiney?" spirit_queen 05-20-2009 12:06 AM "Actually, now that you mention it, yes. I saw them flash once." Mina said. She scowled. "D you have somoene specific in mind? Shaved bald, tan, shiny eyes, welding goggles? Who is it, Toombs?" Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 12:09 AM "Dammit, that's Ridd'ck. He's worth over a billion UD's." Toombs spat on the floor and glared up at the vents. "Don't tell the sub captain it's him, she'll have us dock at the nearest planet and then we'll never find 'im again because he'll take off." He looked back at Mina. "I'm amazed you got out without getting hurt. He doesn't hesitate to kill mercs, man or woman." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 12:11 AM Diego had gone to sit in the gym; it was empty at this time of day, when everyone was in the recreation room. He sat down on a bench at the far wall and stared with loathing at his cuffs. He'd already tried to get them off, and nothing had worked. Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 12:14 AM In the vent above him, there was a faint rustling, then a tapping. spirit_queen 05-20-2009 12:17 AM "Well, he more or less said he finds me interesting, but not as self-important as Diego." Mina said. "So you're saying I met this Ridd'ck guy? Huh. I've ehard that name more than a couple times. He sounded more like legend to me." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 12:18 AM "Nobody knows what he is. He sure as hell isn't human in any sense we know. He's been killing people for god knows how long." Toombs grimaced. "And he escaped from me on the Dark Fury. P*ssed me off. Tried to track him down after that, but it's been too long." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 12:18 AM Diego looked up, somewhat alarmed. "Who's there?" Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 12:19 AM "Relax. I'm just a repair worker and I'm wondering why you look so down." The man in the vents was no repair worker, but it would be hard to tell considering he was in the ceiling in the dark. spirit_queen 05-20-2009 12:22 AM "He doesn't smell human. He's got an odd scent; it's still on my shirt, which is why I changed." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 12:25 AM "Maybe he hasn't bathed in awhile. Ewww. Even I take a shower once every couple of days." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 12:26 AM Diego didn't know any better; he'd never been up in the vents before and hadn't really seen any repair workers, save the one who'd fallen out of course. XD "Just the usual," he said, sighing. "I'm stuck in here, I have to wear these stupid things and I'm on my way to Crematoria. My life officially sucks." -.- spirit_queen 05-20-2009 12:29 AM "Well, if he really is a stowaway, then access to the showers must be difficult." Mina said. "But this will make him easier to track." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 12:29 AM "It's not all bad. You're not in iso." "Have fun. And here." He handed her a flashlight. "It's got those newfangled lights in them, they're really bright. Don't look at it yourself, but shine it at him if he's got those goggles off; it'll blind him and you can drag him out." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 12:37 AM "Not yet anyway. Tho it's only a matter of time before one of the guards p*sses me off and I end up in there. I'm surprised they didn't blame the disturbance on me; every other time they have and I've had to sit there and explain what I was doing when it happened." -.- Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 12:40 AM "Well, I haven't heard anything about it. I hear they're keeping it all real quiet. Can't fathom why unless somebody died." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 12:44 AM "I heard some of the guards talking," said Diego. "Apparently, two people did guy; a guard and a prisoner." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 11:11 AM "Oh boy, the sub captain won't be happy they're talking." He chuckled. Miranda_ 05-20-2009 07:33 PM "Well, sucks to be them, but it's not my problem. I don't think they knew I was listening." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 08:10 PM "They act like nobody can hear them and just bullsh*t about everything under the sun." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 08:17 PM "They sounded pretty mad. I expect it was cuz one of their own died; if it had just been a prisoner, they wouldn't have cared. After all, they're perfectly happy to be transporting prisoners to a dump like Crematoria." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 08:20 PM "Not all of them are being dumped there though. Most are just serving terms for more minor crimes." The man tilted his head. "Not you though." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 08:25 PM "That's right," said Diego, sighing. "I'm definitely being dumped there. Maybe I'll be lucky and be the first person ever to escape from there." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 08:30 PM "Maybe. Or you'll just be taken out of there by another ship." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 08:35 PM "Like that's ever going to happen. There's lots of people who want me to rot in Crematoria, and they'd probably cuff me there, too, so I won't be able to use my powers to escape." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 08:45 PM "So? I imagine there's somebody who will take you out and let you free." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 08:52 PM "I don't know anyone who'd do that, especially for me. I know I have an attitude, but it stops people from messing with me, especially on the ship. I don't want anyone to think they can try anything." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 08:54 PM "Think that'll stop people? Attitudes don't make the man." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 09:01 PM "That's not what some people here think. They won't even bother to talk to me; that's why I'm here instead of in the entertainment room." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 09:05 PM "Those are the pansies that are easily scared." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 09:36 PM "Probably. Anyway, I don't always kill marks now." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 09:37 PM "I heard the main thing was the civillian deaths. Those are easily avoided." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 09:43 PM "If people are stupid enough to run towards a conflagation, then they deserve all they get." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 09:49 PM "Piece of advice. When you get back to work, convince your target to take a walk with you. Don't let them know who you are. Wear a disguise, sunglasses or a hat or something. Then deal with them in a nice, out of the way manner. Less fuss, less mess, and the Alliance will get off your ass." |

Miranda_ 05-20-2009 09:58 PM "I never even thought of that." -.- Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 10:06 PM "Well, give it a shot. It's less hassle." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 10:07 PM "If I get a chance to do it, I will. Of course, I have to get out of here first. And kill the merc who brought me in." -.- Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 10:08 PM "You'll find him. Just give it time. Let him run free a little. Then go after him." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 10:12 PM "I don't have a choice about that, not while I'm stuck in here." -.- Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 10:24 PM "Once you're out." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 10:25 PM "Yeah, I'll leave him for a while; don't want to put him on his guard." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 10:34 PM "You might even make him paranoid." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 10:38 PM "Yeah, that might make me feel better, to know he's jumping at shadows." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 10:39 PM "So not all bad." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 10:45 PM Diego shrugged. "Yeah, I guess. I'll probably have to go, soon." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 10:48 PM "I gotta get back to work. Bye." The man walked away in the vent. Miranda_ 05-20-2009 10:50 PM "Yeah, see you around." Diego didn't give the guy another thought; he'd genuinely thought that the stranger was a worker. Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 10:55 PM *later* Yuni was showing Diego the cryo sleep area; she had permission, plus the guards watching her assumed she was warning Diego. She was, sort of. XD They'd both been given thermal suits to wear. "God I hate it in here. It's so feckin' cold." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 10:58 PM Diego shivered, too. "Yeah. Would you feel the cold tho, if you were in cryo sleep?" Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 11:00 PM "Sort of. It's just numbing, though, once you've been in here after awhile." She checked one of the panels nearby. Miranda_ 05-20-2009 11:07 PM "I don't plan to be in here for any kind of time, thanks very much." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 11:08 PM "Don't do anything crazy then." Yuni looked up from the panel. ".. Do you hear footsteps?" Miranda_ 05-20-2009 11:13 PM "Might just be a vent worker or something, tho." Silent_Wolf 05-20-2009 11:14 PM ".. There's no vents leading to this area except for one, and it's been covered up by a cryo box." Miranda_ 05-20-2009 11:21 PM "Maybe they don't know or they forgot, then." Silent_Wolf 05-21-2009 11:07 AM "Yeah." That reassurance however didn't stop her from glancing over her shoulder. Miranda_ 05-21-2009 12:54 PM "They haven't caught that guy, yet, either. The one who totaled that guard and that prisoner." Silent_Wolf 05-21-2009 09:12 PM "What?" Yuni hadn't heard anything about it. Miranda_ 05-22-2009 12:30 AM Diego raised an eyebrow. "You haven't heard, yet? I heard two guards talking about it." Silent_Wolf 05-22-2009 11:23 AM "You're kidding me." Yuni shook her head. "Well, know I know why the box with the thermal suits was stained red." -_-; Miranda_ 05-22-2009 11:56 AM "Don't blame him at all; I'd do the same thing, and more, if I could, and the guards know it." Silent_Wolf 05-22-2009 08:41 PM "Not all the guards want to work here, though. A lot are working off debts or they were assigned by the Alliance." Miranda_ 05-23-2009 01:32 AM "Makes no difference to me, and a lot of people on here." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 12:03 PM "Makes a difference to me." She reset a couple of settings on another panel. Miranda_ 05-23-2009 12:14 PM "Well, you're not human so you wouldn't think like that, obviously." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 12:17 PM Yuni gave him a look. "You realize that half the guards on here are prisoners the same as we are? They were just upgraded to guard for good behavior. One false move and they're back in the slammer." Miranda_ 05-23-2009 12:23 PM "I don't see why you think I should care. I only look out for number one, and that's it." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 12:25 PM "And there's that mutated human ego. I wondered when it would come back." She finished fixing the panel and headed to another one, her teeth chattering. Miranda_ 05-23-2009 12:28 PM "Just what are you implying?" Diego followed Yuni, looking annoyed. Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 12:32 PM "You think you're better than most humans because you've got powers." Miranda_ 05-23-2009 12:47 PM "No point in pretending otherwise." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 12:53 PM "Powers don't make a person. It's how you act that counts. And apparently you've a bad rep as a result." Miranda_ 05-23-2009 01:10 PM "I just don't see the point of sugarcoating what I say. If people's feelings get hurt as a result, then it's their fault for having such stupid feelings." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 01:15 PM "Sooo, you're saying humans should act inhuman and have no emotions whatsoever." |

Miranda_ 05-23-2009 01:28 PM "I don't care what they do as long as they don't bother me." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 01:34 PM "Then don't let them bother you. You expect people to accept what you say as fact. And then you flip out on anybody who disagrees with you." Miranda_ 05-23-2009 01:38 PM "Most of the time I'm right, but people won't accept that." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 01:41 PM "Why are you so sure you're always right?" She sighed. Miranda_ 05-23-2009 01:42 PM "I was right this time, wasn't I?" Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 01:48 PM "About what?" Miranda_ 05-23-2009 01:57 PM "About there being some crazy guy in the vents." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 04:04 PM "I wouldn't say he's crazy." Miranda_ 05-23-2009 07:47 PM "Stop splitting hairs. You're just mad cuz I was right, and you were wrong." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 07:49 PM "I'm not mad." She raised an eyebrow. Miranda_ 05-23-2009 07:59 PM "So why are you nitpicking, then? Usually indicates someone is mad." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 08:01 PM "Nope. Just an Avian trait." She headed toward the door; she was done working for now. Miranda_ 05-23-2009 08:11 PM "What happens when you're all nitpicking each other, then? And slow down; some of us don't have the use of our arms. I don't particularly want to trip and fall flat on my face." -.- Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 08:12 PM "It turns into a very comical dinner party, really. Well, until the peac'ocks get involved, then it just turns ugly. They're a very vain race." Yuni stopped at the door. Miranda_ 05-23-2009 08:21 PM Diego caught up. "Don't think I want to know about them, then." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 08:22 PM "There's a lot of different races. You humans actually got all the bird names from us, you stole them." She chuckled, just playing around. Miranda_ 05-23-2009 08:39 PM "I don't really know many bird names, so it doesn't matter. There weren't many still on Old Earth." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 08:40 PM "Well, you want to hear about them? It'll pass the time." She pulled the hood of the thermal suit back once they were inside the warming room. Miranda_ 05-23-2009 08:52 PM "If you like. Nothing better to do, after all." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 08:57 PM "Well, I'm a hawk. That's why I'm a bit crass, most of us are like that by nature. Then you've got the doves, flippin' peace lovers that they are, and the peac'ocks, the vain idiots of our world..." She went on for a little while. ".. but I really hate the parrots. They copy everybody." Miranda_ 05-23-2009 09:01 PM "Never heard of half those. There's just these black birds that eat carrion on Old Earth now." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 09:06 PM "Crows? Yeah, they're our funeral directors. Well, used to be. Them and the vultures were morticians and morgue attendants." Miranda_ 05-23-2009 09:10 PM "They might be around somewhere, but not where I used to live. Half the buildings were ruined down there." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 09:13 PM "Yikes." Yuni blinked. Miranda_ 05-23-2009 09:23 PM "I was born in another part of the town that was better but my parents chucked me out after I tried to kill my brother. -.- Doesn't matter, I got on alright." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 09:27 PM "I see." O_o Miranda_ 05-23-2009 09:33 PM "If I'd actually killed him, it would have been justified." -.- Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 09:34 PM "What did he do?" Miranda_ 05-23-2009 09:40 PM "Threw water at me when I was trying to concentrate on something." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 09:43 PM "You tried to kill him over THAT!?!" Miranda_ 05-23-2009 09:47 PM "What?" said Diego, defensively. "It was annoying." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 09:58 PM "You don't try to kill somebody over that!" O_o Miranda_ 05-23-2009 10:12 PM "Says you. What would you know about it, anyway?" Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 10:23 PM "You were a kid!" Miranda_ 05-23-2009 10:33 PM "So? I was very mature as a kid." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 10:36 PM "How old was your brother?" Miranda_ 05-23-2009 10:54 PM "Five, I think. It was a long time ago." Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 10:54 PM Yuni stared at him. Miranda_ 05-23-2009 11:01 PM "... What are you looking at me like that, for?" Silent_Wolf 05-23-2009 11:02 PM "You tried to kill a KID!" |

Miranda_ 05-23-2009 11:08 PM "So? I was a kid, too at the time. What difference does it make?" Silent_Wolf 05-24-2009 11:25 AM "You don't kill kids!" spirit_queen 05-24-2009 12:08 PM Mina had been walking nearby and stopped. "What about killin' kids?" Silent_Wolf 05-24-2009 12:19 PM Yuni shook her head. "You don't wanna know." spirit_queen 05-24-2009 12:24 PM "Why not?" Mina said. She hated when people assumed she didn't wanna know something. Silent_Wolf 05-24-2009 12:25 PM "He'll tell you." Yuni nodded at Diego and headed out of the changing room after taking off the thermal suit; yes, she was wearing the prison uniform under it. XD spirit_queen 05-24-2009 12:26 PM Mina looked at Diego expectantly. XD Miranda_ 05-24-2009 07:51 PM Diego sighed in exasperation. "She's just making a fuss about nothing; I told her that my parents threw me out after I tried to kill my brother, and then she went all weird." spirit_queen 05-25-2009 11:30 AM "Why'd you kill your brother?" Mina asked. Miranda_ 05-25-2009 08:06 PM "I didn't kill him. Dad interfered before I could do it." spirit_queen 05-26-2009 09:49 AM "Oh. So why'd you attack him, then?" Mina asked. Miranda_ 05-26-2009 11:00 AM "He threw water over me when I was concentrating on something." spirit_queen 05-26-2009 11:04 AM "So you went bananas on him? Wouldn't it have been easier to just punch him in the nose and leave it at that?" Mina said. Miranda_ 05-26-2009 11:13 AM "I was six years old." Diego gave Mina a look. "I didn't think of that." spirit_queen 05-26-2009 11:17 AM "Well,a t six years old, I didn't have funky powers, so I would've. And did." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-26-2009 11:28 AM "I didn't really understand them back then. My brother didn't have powers like mine." spirit_queen 05-26-2009 11:29 AM "And what'd you parents do?" Mina said. Miranda_ 05-26-2009 11:36 AM "Nothing much. My dad went out a lot, but I didn't know what he worked at." spirit_queen 05-26-2009 11:38 AM "Oh. You never got punished? Jeez, your parents su'cked at raising you." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-26-2009 11:51 AM "They threw me out of the house for trying to kill my brother," said Diego, looking at Mina as tho she was stupid. "They did that cuz I forgot they were there in the heat of the moment. Any other times; you think my brother dared to tattle on me? He knew what he'd get if he did." spirit_queen 05-26-2009 11:54 AM "Well, you never said that. Yuo specifically said they dind't 'do much' to punish you." Mina said, rolling her eyes. "Don't look at me like I'm dumb when you don't make yourself clear." Miranda_ 05-26-2009 12:12 PM "They didn't know about it, or else they would have chucked me out earlier." spirit_queen 05-26-2009 08:29 PM "Oh. So they just kicked you out? No questions asked, no attempt to try to teach you that attempting to kill your brother was not a good way to handle his annoying you?" Miranda_ 05-26-2009 10:06 PM "That's right. I got on alright after that." spirit_queen 05-26-2009 10:08 PM "Oh. Your life was a lot different than mine." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-26-2009 10:28 PM "What was yours like, then?" spirit_queen 05-26-2009 10:34 PM "Started out ordinarily enough for a Draconian; I had a brother like you, but I loved my little squirt. Don't get me wrong, I gave 'im his fair share of bloody noses, but I loved 'im anyways. When I was still pretty young, the human equivalent to twelve, my brother and I were kidnapped by this slave-ships. I was literally tossed on my head, and that's when my other personality developed. Eventually I escaped, onyl to find out my brother wasn't on the same ship as me, and I couldn't find any other slave-ship." Mina's fists clenched at the memory. "I'd lost him. I'd managed to escape, but it was worthless knowin' he'd still go on to be a slave probably in some dangerous mine. I became a merc because mercs stop a lotta ships, and I proved useful what with my athletis skills and Amira's smarts for technology." She tried to shrug and look like she dind't care, but she did. "Haven't found 'im yet. Probably never will. I've given up hope." Miranda_ 05-26-2009 10:38 PM Diego shrugged. "He might even be dead by now. As far as I know, my brother's still on Old Earth. Worse than dead." spirit_queen 05-26-2009 10:40 PM XD not exactly wat Mina needed to hear. She tried not to let any emotion show, and, as a result, her face was unnaturally blank. "Yup." was all she said in reply. Miranda_ 05-26-2009 10:53 PM "His power was pretty useless anyway. Doubt he could put it to use like I did mine." spirit_queen 05-26-2009 10:54 PM "Your brother had a power?" Mina asked. Miranda_ 05-26-2009 11:08 PM "Yeah; he could talk to birds or some such sh*t." spirit_queen 05-27-2009 09:15 AM "Eh, some planets are infested with 'em, and some are abnormally large and freaky." Mina said. She shrugged. "If he ever left old Earth, he might've been able to use it." Miranda_ 05-27-2009 11:30 AM "If he had any sense he would have left. That place is a dump." spirit_queen 05-27-2009 11:32 AM "Never wanted to go there, myself." mina said. Miranda_ 05-27-2009 03:36 PM "I didn't want to stay there. As soon as I was old enough, I hitched a ride out of there." spirit_queen 05-27-2009 08:15 PM Mina nodded. "Best that way." Miranda_ 05-27-2009 08:18 PM Diego said, "I started working as a bounty hunter cuz the money was good, and it meant I could put my powers to good use. Didn't even need to carry a gun." spirit_queen 05-27-2009 08:23 PM "Ah. Well, I;m guessing things went well for you for a while, then?" Mina said. Miranda_ 05-27-2009 08:36 PM "Yeah, til this @rsehole came after me and I ended up here." |

spirit_queen 05-27-2009 08:37 PM "He went after you because you killed people who weren't one of your marks." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-27-2009 08:50 PM "Not that again. -.- Why do people keep going on and on about that?" spirit_queen 05-27-2009 08:54 PM "Well, I think you wasted a lot of time and energy killing people who got in your way." Mina said. "It's easier to find who you're lookign for them and take them out as quickly, cleanly, and as efficiently as possible." Miranda_ 05-27-2009 08:59 PM "It's not a waste of anything I'm doing; it's stupid people who don't have the sense to get the hell out the way. I'm probably doing society a favour by excising the stupid from it." Diego rolled his eyes. spirit_queen 05-27-2009 09:06 PM "Yes, but it put you in this place." Mina said. "Which means other don't agree. And, unfortunately, when the big-wigs don't agree with you, you're likely to lose." Miranda_ 05-27-2009 09:11 PM "Don't lecture me about that; it's a little late for 'should have'." -.- spirit_queen 05-27-2009 09:12 PM "Or is it?" Mina said. Miranda_ 05-27-2009 09:23 PM Diego looked at her. "You do know that this ship is going to Crematoria, don't you? No-one's ever escaped from there." spirit_queen 05-27-2009 09:29 PM Mina rolled her eyes. "I'm not stupid, squirt." Miranda_ 05-27-2009 09:52 PM "So don't act like I'm going to get a second chance. There's none of those where I'm going." spirit_queen 05-27-2009 09:55 PM Mina didn't say anything else, but she was thinking of helping Diego and Yuni... the key word being 'thinking'. Silent_Wolf 05-27-2009 10:00 PM The man in the vents listened to this byplay with minute curiousity, however when Mina didn't reply he moved on to another part of the ship, being absolutely quiet. spirit_queen 05-27-2009 10:01 PM Mina was too lost in her own thoughts to notice the scent in the air. Miranda_ 05-27-2009 10:02 PM Diego didn't hear anything; he was too lost in depression. spirit_queen 05-27-2009 10:04 PM "I tihnk it's tacos for dinner." Mina said. Miranda_ 05-27-2009 10:24 PM "Is it dinner then? Better get back, in that case." Diego snapped out of his gloomy thoughts. spirit_queen 05-28-2009 09:44 AM "Yup. I like tacos." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-01-2009 08:39 PM *later* Yuni was heading off to bed; it was around time for the inmates to head to their cells for lights out. The mercs however had no such curfew, and neither did the guards. spirit_queen 06-01-2009 08:43 PM Mina accidentally bumped into Yuni. Silent_Wolf 06-01-2009 08:45 PM She jumped a bit; she was pretty tired. "Oh, hey." spirit_queen 06-01-2009 08:51 PM "Hi. Sorry I ran into you... I was preoccupied." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-01-2009 08:52 PM "By what?" Yuni blinked. spirit_queen 06-02-2009 11:21 AM "I have to go find something, and I'm triyng to think of all the places where it could be found." Mina said vaguely. Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 11:26 AM "...Mhm. Well, see you tomorrow." Yuni shrugged and continued walking, yawning. spirit_queen 06-02-2009 11:34 AM Mina nodded, then continued to her own room. She changed into some sweatpants and a tanktop, then wore macasins for her shoes (she'd prefer going bare-foot, but she'd attract too much attention doing that). She tested her ponytail to make sure it was still tight, then grinned; the search had officially begun. Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 11:36 AM The man in the vents had settled down for the night in the large area above the cell blocks; he'd 'borrowed' some sheets and had made a hammock out of them on the ceiling of the vent. He wasn't actually sleeping, more relaxing than anything else. spirit_queen 06-02-2009 11:43 AM At the moment, Mina was wandering around tasting the air; due to the way he crawed around in the vents, the air was actually full of his scent. She had to be sure to conentrate on the more recent stuff. Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 08:08 PM He turned his head, listening to the sounds that echoed around from the vent covers; he could barely hear somebody walking around, but dismissed it for now. spirit_queen 06-02-2009 08:25 PM Mina now detected what could only be his current scent. She began to follow it. She was moving slowly and cautiously, her weight carefully shifted to create as little noise as possible, like a big cat stalking its prey. But she didn't intend to actually harm Ridd'ck, or even alert anyone to his presence. Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 08:33 PM This was around the point that Ridd'ck noticed the even fainter footsteps were getting closer. However, he still didn't move, but turned his head so he could look at the opening the vent hall the footsteps were coming from. spirit_queen 06-02-2009 08:35 PM Eventually, Mina saw him. And she knew he was looking over at her. Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 08:36 PM He didn't say a word, but lifted his hand in acknowlegement that he knew she was there. spirit_queen 06-02-2009 08:38 PM Mina lifted her hand in a sort of greeting as well. She could taste in the air that he wasn't tense at all, so she went toward him. Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 08:39 PM He swung the makeshift hammock so he could jump down, and he landed in a crouch on his feet. "So. You found me." He sounded slightly amused. spirit_queen 06-02-2009 08:49 PM "Well, your scent is everywhere, and you didn't bother to hide it." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 08:51 PM "Didn't really need to. Subby doesn't think of doing the dirty work that the mercs do, tracking down a stowaway." spirit_queen 06-02-2009 08:53 PM "True enough. And I've no intention of turning you in." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 08:56 PM "So you're basically harmless." He shrugged and looked around. "And you brought no friends along, either." spirit_queen 06-02-2009 08:58 PM Mina didn't like being called 'harmless'. XD She huffed, then said "I don't really have friends. Little point to that, on this particular ship. I have some people I talk to, but I'm not sure they're trustworthy, anyways." Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 08:59 PM "You mean the Dingo, the Birdie, and Toombs." |

spirit_queen 06-02-2009 09:07 PM "Toombs is more trustworthy than the others, but I'm not close. The 'Dingo' as you put it, sees only his own little problems. And Tweety's... odd..." Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 09:09 PM "Never been fond of Avians. Lot of them are vain." spirit_queen 06-02-2009 09:10 PM "Tweety's a little, but not too bad." Mina said. "Could be worse." Mina shuddered at the thought. Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 09:12 PM "Couldn't be any worse than the captain of another ship I picked a ride on." He laughed; it was a bit of a barking chuckle. "Wouldn't show his face to any prisoners, guy wore a metal mask so nobody would try to damage it." spirit_queen 06-02-2009 09:17 PM Mina found herself laughing, too. "I find such vanity to be a weakness." Silent_Wolf 06-02-2009 09:23 PM "It was his undoing in the end. His sub captain got sick of all his little habits and did away with him." spirit_queen 06-03-2009 10:40 AM "Exactly. I've never cared about how I look." Mina said. "This outfit for instance, would probably strike some as a crime." Mina said with a smirk, indicating her black tanktop, deep blue sweatpants, and dark umber macs. XD Silent_Wolf 06-03-2009 10:57 AM Ridd'ck just chuckled. "You're a merc, it doesn't matter." spirit_queen 06-03-2009 11:18 AM "I guess that's true, but I won't stay a merc forever." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-03-2009 11:19 AM "Why not, then?" He raised an eyebrow. spirit_queen 06-03-2009 11:22 AM "If I complete my mission any time soon, though I doubt it, then I'll have a lot to catch up on." Mina said vaguely. Silent_Wolf 06-03-2009 11:28 AM "Uh-huh. What's your mission?" spirit_queen 06-03-2009 11:33 AM "It's very personal." Mina said, She looked down, at her worn macs, to avoid his gaze. Silent_Wolf 06-03-2009 11:37 AM He nodded and didn't ask further. "So, why you here?" spirit_queen 06-03-2009 11:41 AM "I'm low on cash, and this ship pays pretty good but doesn't dock for food like some I've been on." Mina said. "And you? Or is that a private matter?" Silent_Wolf 06-03-2009 08:23 PM "Beats paying for cargo ships. Free food and board. Plus, except for meat this ship grows its own food. Floor three has a hydroponics bay." spirit_queen 06-03-2009 10:50 PM "Interesting. Never been there, myself. Probably nto allowed to." mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-03-2009 10:50 PM "Probably not. The guards are the only ones allowed up there." spirit_queen 06-03-2009 10:51 PM "Heh. As for you, you're not allowed to be on in the first place, so there's no point in following that particular rule, is there?" Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-03-2009 10:52 PM "Not at all." He smiled slightly, though it looked more like a smirk. spirit_queen 06-03-2009 10:55 PM "I almost wish I had as much freedom." She paused. "Well, maybe when I quit being a merc one day, I can do whatever I want..." Silent_Wolf 06-04-2009 11:00 AM "So you say. But where will you go?" spirit_queen 06-04-2009 11:18 AM "Porobably to the Draconian homeworld, first." Mina said. "Farther than that? Well, I'm not sure; I'd ahve to wait to see if I ever even complete the mission to begin with." Silent_Wolf 06-04-2009 11:31 AM "I see." He leaned against a wall. "Ever hear of the Dark Athena?" spirit_queen 06-04-2009 11:35 AM "No." Mina said. Now he'd intrigued her, and it showed in the way she c'ocked her head to one side. "Tell me about it." Silent_Wolf 06-04-2009 11:41 AM "It was a merc ship. When I escaped Butcher Bay years ago, a merc named Johns and I had been caught by the Dark Athena. The captain was somebody I'd run into before, Revas, and she'd turned the ship into a drone factory in a sense." He grimaced faintly. "One thing I hate more than dirty mercs, is dirty mercs who turn their marks and innocent people into drones. They kill'em, then take them and turn them into a mix between man and machine. They're used to guard the ship and keep the actual guards safe. Pathetic." spirit_queen 06-04-2009 11:50 AM Mina shuddered. "God. it's freaks like that that make me ashamed of my current profession." Silent_Wolf 06-04-2009 11:57 AM "Tweety would've had a hayday with them. Trust me. I know I did." He smirked faintly. "There was a little girl on the ship, Lynn. She lost her parents there." He pushed off the wall. "I left her on new Earth with some family members she had left. It's been a few years." He walked over to a vent cover and nudged it open a crack, looking down at the prison block; most of the prisoners had gone to sleep. spirit_queen 06-04-2009 05:55 PM "God. A kid? That's sick." Mina said. She shuddered. "And I thought I had it bad..." Silent_Wolf 06-04-2009 08:12 PM "She's alright. She's a computer whiz like your split personality." spirit_queen 06-04-2009 10:37 PM "Who you're lucky is asleep right now, or she'd be fighting for control; she likes chatter a bit too much." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-04-2009 10:54 PM "I can tell. You two argue a lot." spirit_queen 06-04-2009 10:56 PM "You have no idea." x.x "Only about half of it is out loud." Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 10:51 AM "I see." He was still watching the prison blocks. spirit_queen 06-05-2009 12:35 PM "Is there somethin' going on that I'm missing?" Mina asked. Miranda_ 06-05-2009 05:25 PM Diego wasn't asleep yet; he was lying awake on his bunk, staring at the ceiling. He thought he'd heard scuffling sounds, and was trying to pinpoint them. Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 06:05 PM "Nothing. Just interesting watching them all." He shrugged and walked back over to under the hammock. "Well, I'm guessing you've got better things to do." spirit_queen 06-05-2009 06:12 PM "Probably have to wake up Amira so she can go repair some things." Mina said with a sigh. "She doens't like it either, actually; she wants to be an inventor of some sort." Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 06:18 PM "I see." Ridd'ck shrugged and climbed up some pipes up into the hammock, stretching out. "See you." spirit_queen 06-05-2009 06:19 PM "'Night, R." Mina said. She didn't know why she called him that. XD |

Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 06:21 PM He just shrugged and waved. spirit_queen 06-05-2009 06:22 PM Mina got out of the vents, then woke up Amira. Whaaaaat? Don't you have a thinger-majigger to fix somewheres? Yeah. -.- I'll leave you to it. 'Night! Then the Mina personalitywent to sleep, leaving the still-groggy Amira personality in charge. XD She yawned and rubbed her eyes, then grumbled as she went to work. Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 09:12 PM *next day* It was business as usual on the Deadly Nightshade. The usual announcement about the daily schedule for prisoners came over the speaker after the morning wakeup bell rang, with an added difference at the end from the sub captain instead of the automated voice: "At eighteen hundred hours, inmates Diego Blake and Samantha Hawking are to report to the nav room with two merc escorts. That is all." Yuni stared up at the ceiling of her cell. ".. pardon?" Miranda_ 06-05-2009 09:15 PM Diego just tried to think of anything he might have done that broke the rules. He couldn't think of anything, and, muttering under his breath, went to take a shower. spirit_queen 06-05-2009 09:15 PM Amira sighed. "No doubt Mina's gonna have to be one of two mercs." Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 09:19 PM Yuni headed to the women's shower, deciding to forgo working out for the day; they probably had to do something stupid. This better not be about me and that riot, she thought crossly. Ridd'ck was on his way up to the vents in the nav room to observe what would happen. True, it wouldn't happen for another twelve hours but he's a patient man. Miranda_ 06-05-2009 09:20 PM Diego had been smartmouthed to a few guards, but he couldn't think of anything he could have done to merit a summoning to the nav room. "They'd better not put me in isolation," he growled under his breath. "I haven't done anything." spirit_queen 06-05-2009 09:21 PM Amira, whenever she had control of the body, never skipped showers. XD Mina was still snoozing away, and was having odd dreams. Ooc: G2g. Bye! Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 09:27 PM Ooc: Aw man. ~~~~ Yuni headed straight to the cafeteria after her shower; they had pancakes, of all things. XD Miranda_ 06-05-2009 09:35 PM Diego went to the cafeteria, still wondering what was up. Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 09:39 PM Yuni sat down at her usual table, eating her pancakes. ".. did I break something," she mumbled. Miranda_ 06-05-2009 09:41 PM Diego sat down next to her. "Wish they'd tell me what I did," he said. "As far as I know, I haven't done anything. I haven't had the chance to, not with their rules, which I've kept to." He played listlessly with his fork. Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 09:47 PM "Maybe it's just something to do with the Crematoria stop." She took a drink of water. Miranda_ 06-05-2009 09:50 PM "What, so we're the only ones being dropped off? That sucks, seriously." Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 09:51 PM "We're not the only ones, trust me, there's others. Just wondering why specifically us." Miranda_ 06-05-2009 09:54 PM "That's bugging me a lot. I haven't done anything, I've kept to all their stupid rules." Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 09:59 PM "Hope I don't get put in cryo again for something stupid." Yuni shuddered. "That's worse than iso." Miranda_ 06-05-2009 10:04 PM "I don't want either, not when I haven't done anything to deserve it." Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 10:19 PM "Same here." She grimaced. Miranda_ 06-05-2009 10:22 PM "I mean, I was rude to a few guards, and I hit another inmate cuz he called me by my nickname, which no-one is allowed to use. But he didn't report it, so it doesn't count." Silent_Wolf 06-05-2009 10:22 PM "Unless a guard saw it." Ooc: Aaand going again, heading to gram's. Bye! Miranda_ 06-05-2009 10:27 PM "There weren't any around, not that I saw, anyway." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 12:06 AM Amira came to breakfast, sighing. "I guess I'll go; there was a request for two mercs." Miranda_ 06-06-2009 11:43 AM "Hope the other one isn't a total @rsehole," said Diego. "And for their own sake, had better not be the guy who brought me in." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 11:53 AM "doubt it. The chances fo that are slim." Mina said. "And I know most of the mercs, so I can try to get a non-@rse one." Miranda_ 06-06-2009 11:56 AM "That would do. I don't want to get into more trouble." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 12:10 PM "No prob." Mina said. She found it amusing that no one noticed how she'd taken over for breakfast. XD Miranda_ 06-06-2009 12:14 PM Diego was too wrapped up in himself usually to notice things like that. "I didn't sleep well last night; kept hearing footsteps in the roof." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 12:15 PM "You mean the vents? That was probably me; I was looking for something I'd lost when I was up there looking for the escapee a few days ago." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-06-2009 12:37 PM "Next time, try to keep the noise down when people are trying to sleep." Diego moodily played with his pancakes. "It's bad enough being forced to get up at stupid o'clock without being kept awake half the night." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 12:38 PM "Well, blah on you." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-06-2009 12:45 PM "You wait til it happens to you, then." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 12:48 PM "It has happened to me before, and I was able to deal without whining." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-06-2009 12:58 PM Diego glared at Mina. "I'm not whining, you stupid cow. I was just saying. If all you're going to do is b*tch at me, you can go and sit somewhere else instead of ruining my precious few minutes of freedom from the restraints." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 01:02 PM "I'm not a cow, dumb'ass. Call me that again, and I will intentionally make sure that you have to deal with the worst merc on board when you have to go see subby." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-06-2009 01:03 PM "As if I care. It'll be him that suffers, not me." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 01:07 PM "What're you gonna do? Whack him or her over the head with your restraints?" Mina said. Miranda_ 06-06-2009 01:09 PM "As if I'd tell you. You'd probably tell him." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 01:13 PM Mina rolled her eyes. "Whatever, then, squirt." Miranda_ 06-06-2009 01:15 PM "One day, you might regret saying that." Diego started to properly eat his breakfast. |

spirit_queen 06-06-2009 01:20 PM "What? Squirt? When will that be? You're headed to Crematoria, remember?" Mina said. Miranda_ 06-06-2009 01:39 PM Diego shrugged. "I've got a good memory; and I live long," he said, cryptically. spirit_queen 06-06-2009 01:41 PM "Cuz you're a mutant?" mina asked. Miranda_ 06-06-2009 01:46 PM "Not just cuz of that. I'm not about to go into it right now, but it's linked with my powers." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 01:49 PM "Ah. Figures." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-06-2009 01:56 PM "Maybe a meteor will hit Crematoria or something, and I'll get out." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 01:59 PM Mina sighed, put her head in her hands and didn't reply. Miranda_ 06-06-2009 02:01 PM Diego just carried on eating breakfast. He was planning to take a nap afterwards anyway, as he couldn't really do anything else. spirit_queen 06-06-2009 02:05 PM Mina fell asleep. O.o Silent_Wolf 06-06-2009 03:56 PM "No chance of meteors hitting Crematoria, Diego. It's the only planet in the whole system there. No meteors or asteroids. They all got wiped out by supernovas over the years." Yuni had finished eating. Miranda_ 06-06-2009 07:00 PM "Who says it'll happen naturally? I could make it happen." Silent_Wolf 06-06-2009 07:02 PM "Don't. Seriously. Otherwise they'll run out of plot-" Yuni yawned. "-to stow the criminals on. Ooc: Almost broke the fourth wall. Crap. XD Miranda_ 06-06-2009 07:23 PM "As long as I get out, I don't care what happens to everyone else." Silent_Wolf 06-06-2009 07:27 PM "There's no need to blow up a planet. They've got a ship hanger on Crematoria." Miranda_ 06-06-2009 07:33 PM "I don't know how to fly a ship like this, and I doubt there are any small ones." Silent_Wolf 06-06-2009 07:34 PM "Yeah, they've got small ones. Besides, ships this big don't land on prison planets, they use the smaller skiffs." Miranda_ 06-06-2009 07:44 PM "I usually get someone to fly them for me, so I probably would crash it. Unless you're volunteering." Silent_Wolf 06-06-2009 07:54 PM She shrugged. "I know how to fly one. Sort of." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 08:30 PM Amira then came awake. "Sort of? Just sort of doesn't cut it, Yuni." She said. One coudl tell it was Amira by the proper posture, the higher tone of voice, and the fact that she was calling Yuni 'Yuni' rather than 'Tweety'. xD Silent_Wolf 06-06-2009 09:37 PM "I can get one off the ground and into autopilot. That's what cuts the dough." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 11:05 PM "But not always. And what happens if it breaks down?" Amira said. She shook her head. Amira pretended to reach for the salt, which was by Yuni, but said "Might as well recruit me; I can to more than set up the autopilot." She grabbed the salt then salted her hash-brown some more. "Oh, I just looooove hashbrowns! Mina hates them." She lausghed. "That's probably why I like them!" Silent_Wolf 06-06-2009 11:06 PM "They're pretty good, here. They make them crunchy. Last time they had them, they were soggy." Yuni grimaced. "I guess you can help us. But don't you dare tell anybody about this." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 11:09 PM Amira grinned. "Mina will know by default, but she agrees. She keeps intending to say it, but she's not much for conversation... or tact." Silent_Wolf 06-06-2009 11:12 PM "I'm not much for tact either. It's pointless. Not like we're really going anywhere, so no point being tactful." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 11:16 PM "Ah, but it can be useful at times. You just have to know when." Amira said after swallowing a mouthful of hashbrown. Silent_Wolf 06-06-2009 11:20 PM "Never saw a use for it. I don't really talk to people much." spirit_queen 06-06-2009 11:22 PM "Well, when you need directions, or supplies, or just some random favor, knowing what to say when and how to say it can be extremely useful." Amira said. "Mina leaves that up to me, so I've become very good at it." Miranda_ 06-07-2009 10:54 AM "Just as long as both of you keep quiet on this, that's fine by me." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 11:34 AM "Diego, when I'm part of a plan, I don't talk about it." Yuni finished her breakfast. Miranda_ 06-07-2009 11:35 AM "I meant Mina and her other personality. You wouldn't talk, you've got as much to lose as I do." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 11:51 AM "You've had a career that's paying. I don't." She shrugged and threw her tray into the moving wash bin. "Guess I could hide out somewhere and get a job, though." Miranda_ 06-07-2009 11:56 AM "I have to make some changes when I take it up again, tho. Or else I'll just end up back here again." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 12:01 PM "Somebody gave you some advice, then?" Miranda_ 06-07-2009 12:10 PM "Yeah," replied Diego. "I was in the gym alone, when this vent worker came along and we talked for a bit. He told me to get the mark alone by giving them a story to get them away from crowds. Never even occurred to me, before." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 12:11 PM ".. What time was it?" Miranda_ 06-07-2009 12:15 PM "Don't know, I didn't look. Sometime in the afternoon, after lunch. I didn't want to go to where everyone else was, I hate being surrounded by people." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 12:18 PM "There was nobody in the vents after lunch. The guards were scouting the area and they found nobody there." O_o Miranda_ 06-07-2009 12:30 PM Diego gave her a look. "I certainly wasn't talking to myself, you know. They must have missed someone." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 12:33 PM "I know you weren't talking to yourself. I just wonder if maybe that was the stowaway the guards were talking about." O_o Miranda_ 06-07-2009 12:37 PM "Don't see why; they called him a psycho and he didn't attack me or anything." |

Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 12:43 PM "Maybe he didn't see a reason to attack you?" Miranda_ 06-07-2009 12:47 PM "Thought psychos didn't need a reason." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 12:50 PM "Means he's not psycho." spirit_queen 06-07-2009 01:14 PM Amira giggled, then clamped a hand over her mouth; Mina was growling not to say anything,t hough she'd been about to. I can tell them if I wanna, Mina! She said. "Did the voice sound relatively curious, but still a bit... distant?" She asked. Miranda_ 06-07-2009 01:26 PM "I wasn't really concentrating on tone, but yeah. He also wasn't patronising when giving me advice." spirit_queen 06-07-2009 01:29 PM "I know him. I've met him." She paused. "Well, okay, I was asleep, and Mna met him, but I have jsut as much access to the memories as she does!" Amira said. "He's a stowaway, alright; has a little hammock in the venting system." She suddenly giggled. "I think Mina has a crush-" Suddenly, her expression changed to aghast, and ti was obvious Mina took over to say "I do not! "Dot too! Do not! Do too, and it's my turn to be in charge!" Amira said after regaining control. Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 01:36 PM "..." Yuni just blinked. "Um. I'm gonna go and mess around with the Pac Man 3000 machine in the rec room now." Miranda_ 06-07-2009 01:39 PM "I'm going to wait for a guard to put my restraints back on, then I'm taking a nap in my cell." spirit_queen 06-07-2009 06:40 PM "I have free time, for once." Amira said. Miranda_ 06-07-2009 07:53 PM "I have too much free time; that's the problem. Nothing to do with it." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 07:55 PM "Cept sleep." Miranda_ 06-07-2009 08:12 PM "Well, I didn't get much last night cuz of all the walking about Mina did in the vents. Or rather, stamping about." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 08:19 PM "So go get a nap, then." Miranda_ 06-07-2009 08:24 PM "I can't. Not until those guards over there stop chatting about what they did last night and come over with my restraints." -.- Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 08:42 PM "Well, if they don't do it on time, it's their fault." Miranda_ 06-07-2009 08:44 PM "Doubt they'd see it that way." -.- Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 09:00 PM "It's their job to do it. If they're not doing it, they can get in trouble." Miranda_ 06-07-2009 09:16 PM "I can't exactly flip a paper dart at them or shout accross the cafeteria tho; then I'd end up in trouble." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 09:17 PM "So, just head straight back to your cell. Eventually Subby'll realize you don't have your cuffs and yell at the guards for not giving them to you." Miranda_ 06-07-2009 09:21 PM "Will do," said Diego. "At least then someone else will be in trouble." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 09:26 PM "Go on, shoo." Yuni smiled; if it wasn't obvious, she found amusement in getting guards into trouble. XD Miranda_ 06-07-2009 09:34 PM Diego put his plate in the washer and left, grinning. He wondered how long it would take the guards to catch on. XD Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 09:45 PM Awhile. XD *later* There was some yelling. "You idiots are such dunderheads! You better be glad I don't put you in isolation, you are supposed to attend to your duties first and foremost when you're on shift!" There was the sound of bones cracking. O.o "You're both on suspension for a week, get out of my sight." There were footsteps on the catwalk outside Diego's cell, and the sub captain rapped her knuckles on the wall. "You awake?" Miranda_ 06-07-2009 10:16 PM "Yeah, what's up?" said Diego, tho he could guess by what he'd heard. XD Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 10:25 PM "You need your cuffs on." Miranda_ 06-07-2009 10:27 PM "I know; but the guards didn't put them on me, so I got bored of waiting and went back to my cell." Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 10:45 PM "Well, come out here." Miranda_ 06-07-2009 10:49 PM Diego shrugged and got up from his bunk. He went out the door of his cell. Silent_Wolf 06-07-2009 10:56 PM And Jun put his cuffs on him. "Next time there's a guard being an idiot, look for the shift manager and tell him who the guard is. Most guards have nametags on their backs." Miranda_ 06-07-2009 11:15 PM "Yeah, I'll remember that for next time." Silent_Wolf 06-08-2009 11:17 AM "Thank you." She forced a smile; she didn't usually smile, so it was difficult. "You and Samantha still coming up for the meeting then?" Miranda_ 06-08-2009 11:20 AM "I don't think I have a choice." Diego wondered at Samantha, but guessed it was probably Yuni's real name. Silent_Wolf 06-08-2009 11:30 AM "I'll see you later in the nav room." Jun walked away, grabbing the two guards - they were lying on the floor - and dragging them behind her. Miranda_ 06-08-2009 11:31 AM "Yeah, later." Diego went back to his cell. Silent_Wolf 06-08-2009 11:44 AM *later, indeed!* Yuni had gone up to the nav room with Toombs. Miranda_ 06-08-2009 11:48 AM Diego was with Mina in the nav room. Ooc: Assuming, seeing as Queenie isn't on. XD spirit_queen 06-08-2009 12:01 PM Mina grumbled "Where's Subby?" Silent_Wolf 06-08-2009 12:05 PM "Maybe she's busy or something." Toombs yawned and leaned against a wall. "Don't see why she needs mercs with you two." "Nerves?" "Hardly." Jun walked into the room through a nearby door. "I don't have much patience right now, I have three guards in iso at the moment and I'm in a very bad mood." spirit_queen 06-08-2009 12:07 PM "I can tell; the anger scent is all over this room." Mina said. "So whatsup, Subster?" Silent_Wolf 06-08-2009 12:16 PM "We're trying to locate the stowaway. We caught him on a camera earlier today; it's Ridd'ck." Toombs didn't look happy with that little development. XD "But we're not stopping at a port. We may be risking guards and some prisoners doing this, but we're going to try and capture him. That's why I called you two up here." Jun looked at Yuni and Diego. "If you two can catch him, you'll have some more freedom around here. There's a limit to that freedom. Diego, you'll be able to go without your cuffs and maybe even have work detail, but if you even try to use your powers for anything other than working, you'll be gassed and the cuffs put back on. Yuni, you'll be given a vent pass so you can fix the heating and cooling systems better and you can work on the hydroponics deck. Same limits apply to you, the minute you attack somebody, you're back on this floor and maybe even in iso, what with your record here." Well, better than cryosleep.. |

spirit_queen 06-08-2009 12:24 PM Mina did a good job looking as uninterested as normal, but it was hard; Amira had been spot-on when she said she had a crush on Ridd'ck. XD "So basically they're to look for a guy with shiny eyes, tan skin, and a shaved head? I'm not so sure it'd be that easy, unless he wants to be caught." Miranda_ 06-08-2009 12:42 PM Diego had a glimmer of interest in his eyes; even if he didn't turn this guy in, it didn't matter if he was going to be allowed to go around the ship without the cuffs. "Sounds good to me; I guess I can use my powers for working, if I'm told what I'm supposed to be doing." spirit_queen 06-08-2009 12:44 PM Mina sighed. "Not that Diego was even listening to me..." Miranda_ 06-08-2009 12:46 PM Diego looked at her. "Bet I could catch him, that is, if he's dumb enough to be around where I'm working." Silent_Wolf 06-08-2009 12:47 PM "This only works if you can catch him. Either you catch him, or you get nothing." Jun sighed. Miranda_ 06-08-2009 12:53 PM "I should at least be able to have the cuffs off; I had them off for a few hours today remember and nothing bad happened." Silent_Wolf 06-08-2009 12:54 PM "Fine. But no funny business." Jun unlocked the cuffs. "You guys can start either today or tomorrow, your choice. You could probably look in shifts; even if only one of you finds him, you both get more freedom around the ship." Miranda_ 06-08-2009 01:29 PM "Not really bothered; I don't have anything else to do on here so I don't mind when I start." Silent_Wolf 06-08-2009 01:31 PM "You're all dismissed, then." spirit_queen 06-08-2009 06:43 PM Mina walked voer to Diego then, making sure they weren't sen by any of the security cameras, said "Know this; Ridd'ck and the man who gave you that advice in the gym are one and the same." She said. Miranda_ 06-09-2009 12:00 AM "I kind of guessed that after Yuni said that there weren't any vent workers at that time." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 01:43 AM "Well, just know he won't be easy to catch unawares." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-09-2009 01:47 AM "Definitely not." Toombs grimaced. "Only way to get him is to shine a light in his face, and it can't be any ordernary light. Needs to be something bright enough to stun 'im." Miranda_ 06-09-2009 01:48 AM "If I don't catch him, it's not like I've lost anything." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 01:48 AM "True." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-09-2009 01:57 AM "At least I've got my cuffs off. I'll just have to make sure I don't lose my temper or anything and get them put back on." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 02:01 AM "Good thing to learn, controlling one's temper." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-09-2009 11:12 AM "I've never even tried to learn it before now." Silent_Wolf 06-09-2009 11:18 AM "You learn to ignore people. Besides, now that you've got your cuffs off, people are more likely to not bother you." Toombs yawned. Yuni had gone off as soon as she'd been dismissed. Miranda_ 06-09-2009 11:37 AM "I'll believe it when I see it. I had my cuffs off in the showers and at mealtimes, and I still kept hearing stuff." -.- Silent_Wolf 06-09-2009 11:41 AM "Because they knew you'd get your cuffs back on." Miranda_ 06-09-2009 12:07 PM "Like I said, I'll just wait and see what happens." Diego shrugged. "I guess I'll just go back, now." Silent_Wolf 06-09-2009 12:09 PM "Or you can go after Yuni and start looking around." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 12:17 PM "You know, Toombs, when I first ran into Ridd'ck, you tell me beware. Diego, however, you're telling to just go off and more or less have fun." Mina said. "Any reason for that?" She seemed a bit amused and curious at the same time. XD Silent_Wolf 06-09-2009 12:19 PM "They're being told to go look for 'im. You weren't." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 12:21 PM "Ah. Well, what if I went to look for him for fun?" Mina asked. "Gets boring around here." Silent_Wolf 06-09-2009 12:22 PM "Wouldn't be smart with two people already lookin' for him." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 12:22 PM "What if I already found him once?" Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-09-2009 12:26 PM Toombs raised an eyebrow. "And you didn't report it, didja." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 12:29 PM "Nope, didn't wanna." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-09-2009 12:32 PM "Of course." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 12:33 PM Mina just grinned a crooked grin at him. XD Miranda_ 06-09-2009 12:45 PM Diego snickered. "Sounds like someone has a crush." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 09:35 PM Mina elbowed him in the gut. XD Not very hard, but hard enough. Miranda_ 06-09-2009 10:19 PM "Ow, what was that for? I was just saying!" Diego glared at Mina. spirit_queen 06-09-2009 10:21 PM Mina was a bit red. "You ever consider I don't want that said out loud?" Miranda_ 06-09-2009 10:34 PM "There's no-one here cept Toombs, and he doesn't count." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 10:35 PM "S-so?" Mina said. Miranda_ 06-09-2009 10:51 PM "So there was no need to try to take my guts out with your elbow." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 10:52 PM "I dind't hit that hard." mina said. |

Miranda_ 06-09-2009 11:15 PM "Your elbow's like a razor blade." spirit_queen 06-09-2009 11:16 PM Mina looked at her elbow, realizing he was right; she had very pointy elbows. XD "oops." Miranda_ 06-09-2009 11:20 PM "So there." Diego smirked in a childish manner. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 11:26 AM "Okay, admit it, squirt; you're as immature as I am." Mina said. "Heck, if you were draconian, I'd be wondering if you were my long-lost brother." Miranda_ 06-10-2009 11:48 AM "Yeah, I admit it. It's more fun than being mature and grown up any day." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 11:50 AM "I agree; when I need to act mature for a mission, I make Amira be the mature one." XD "This si the only time you will see me glad to have Amira in my head with me." Miranda_ 06-10-2009 12:39 PM *later* Diego was half heartedly looking around the vents with Yuni. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 12:42 PM Yuni wasn't looking around very enthusiastically, either. ".. God this is boring." Miranda_ 06-10-2009 12:47 PM "Yeah, and you know we're not going to find anything. I could, I guess, send a gale force wind rushing thru the vents if I hexed them, but I don't really want to do that just yet." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 12:49 PM "You might knock me down with Ridd'ck. I've got hollow bones, remember?" She laughed. Miranda_ 06-10-2009 12:49 PM "Exactly; plus, if we do find him, what would they do to him, anyway?" Ooc: Gotta go, bye! Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 12:57 PM Ooc: Aw, man. ~~ "Probably cryo. Maybe iso. Or even just keep him with the rest of the prisoners." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 06:24 PM "Birds must not have a sense of smell stronger than any human, then." Mina's voice said form behind them. XD She'd gotten bored. "His scent is all over the place." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 06:25 PM "My nose is plugged up, up here. It's too humid." She made a face. "Times like this I wish I was a vulture, they've got a good sense of smell." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 06:28 PM "Ah. Why don't you hop outta the vents for a few to get some tissues?" Mina asked. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 06:31 PM "I'll be fine. Just need to get used to it." She sniffed. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 06:33 PM "Right, then. So, how do you guys plan to go about findin' him?" Mina asked. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 06:37 PM "Just looking." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 06:38 PM "..... really? That's it?" Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 06:39 PM "Mhmm." Yuni shrugged. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 06:41 PM "Oh." mina said. Miranda_ 06-10-2009 07:05 PM Diego shrugged. "If I hex the air in the vents, I could basically create a wind tunnel. Blast him out of there whereever he is. Only problem with that, is I'd need to find a place where we could stand so that you guys don't end up going flying." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 07:06 PM "Not to mention that, if he landed wrong, or something, you could injure him or worse." mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 07:11 PM "Mina, this guy survived bioraptors on an uncharted planet. I think he can live through landing on his ass." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 07:16 PM "But what about his head?" mina said. "I'm not dumb; Im aware of the fact he's a tough guy." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 07:22 PM Yuni shrugged and shined the LED flashlight around, illuminating the vent. "He'd live. Don't see why you're so concerned." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 07:24 PM Mina blushed. "Fine, then. Let's find a place to hide, and let Diego do his windy-thingy." Miranda_ 06-10-2009 08:04 PM "Yeah, he'd live. He might get bruised a bit, but no-one dies from bruises. Just find a place to go, and I'll get on with it." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 08:05 PM Yuni just climbed out of the vent. XD spirit_queen 06-10-2009 08:07 PM Mina followed suit, mumbling to herself. Miranda_ 06-10-2009 08:38 PM Diego waited til they'd left the vent, before he used his power. He used his hands to throw a hex at the air inside the vent to turn it into a rushing wind. Moments before it hit, he climbed out. There was immediately a huge noise as the vents became a wind tunnel that would blast out anyone hiding within thru the nearest exit. O.o spirit_queen 06-10-2009 08:42 PM "So... now we track?" Mina asked. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 08:44 PM ".. That thud sounded promising." Yuni pointed down the hallway. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 08:45 PM "Let's go quickly then." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 08:56 PM Yuni ran down the hall. Ridd'ck had been knocked out of the vents and into a cart carrying crates; he had broken several and was laying on his back amongst the debris. ".. Wow." O_o "Did he want to get caught or something? He had the vent open." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 08:59 PM "... when I talked to him, he was waiting for me. I don't really know why he had the vent open." Mina said. "Might as well ask." She went up to him and poked him. "Hey, you okay?" Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 09:00 PM He appeared to be out cold. Miranda_ 06-10-2009 09:01 PM Diego had run after Yuni. "Who cares? Let's grab him. I want all that stuff they promised me." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 09:04 PM "Go get some cuffs off a guard." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 09:06 PM Mina wincced and tried to hide it, but she looked depressed at the idea. |

Miranda_ 06-10-2009 09:20 PM Diego ran off to find a guard. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 09:21 PM Mina wished Yuni had gone off with him; she didn't want Ridd'ck to be caught. Not like this. Maybe even not at all. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 09:29 PM ".. I better make sure he doesn't get into fight with a guard," she mumbled, before she ran off. Ridd'ck lifted his head out of one of the boxes; his goggles were slightly askew. "Are they gone?" He was smirking faintly. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 09:32 PM "Yup." Mina said. She tasted the air. "Follow me." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 09:36 PM He nodded and got up, cracking his shoulder a bit. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 09:39 PM Mina ran down the hallway, sure he was more than capable of keeping up. She flicked her tongue in and out, tasting the air, testing it for people. Thus far, there were none in this hallway close by. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 09:43 PM He easily followed behind, then said, "Stop." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 09:44 PM Mina stopped and turned around. "What?" Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 09:51 PM "Your friend Dingo might not be happy to see you've let me escape." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 09:53 PM "Well.... well he only cares for himself anyways." mina said. but that did giver he pause. "Are you saying you'd just give yourself up like that, then? Sot hat I don't make him mad?" Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:03 PM "No. But I can make it look like I escaped." He looked up at one of the cameras on the wall. "... Never been on a ship with so many of those things." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 10:09 PM "...okay." Mina said after a moment. "So, what do I do?" Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:10 PM "Just take me up to the nav room. Dingo and Tweety caught me, for the record." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 10:14 PM "I'll say you tried to run away, and I caught you after, but they found you." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:15 PM "You were already leading me up there." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 10:20 PM Mina nodded. She walked with Ridd'ck by his side until they were outside the nav room, then took his arm and led him in a more forceful manner, a scowl upon her face. Miranda_ 06-10-2009 10:21 PM Diego was annoyed when he returned with the cuffs, and both Riddi'ck and Mina were gone. "She'd better not have let him go, or tried to take the credit," he said, angrily. "If she's done either, I can prove we caught him." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:22 PM Ridd'ck was amused, but didn't let it show. Jun turned around in the chair and shrieked a little. "Get cuffs on him, for f**k's sake!" "... Well, judging from the direction I'm smelling they went in, they headed to the nav room." Yuni waved the air around her nose, grimacing; Ridd'ck had landed in pre packaged sauer kreut. O.o Miranda_ 06-10-2009 10:23 PM "Let's go and catch them up then." Diego took off at a run. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:24 PM "H-Hey, wait up!" Yuni ran after him. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 10:25 PM "Didn't have any, no guards around when he tried to run off." Mina said. She did a move and twisted Ridd'ck's arm behind his back. "Took a blow to the head, he did." To him, "On your knees!" When she looked back up at Jun, she said "Yuni and Diego found him, but he ran off, so I caught him before he could disappear." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:28 PM "..huh. Well, they get their priviledges then." Jun blinked. Ridd'ck didn't fight with Mina, just got down on the floor. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 10:32 PM "Told'ja he got a blow to the head." Mina said. "Diego did this weird thing with the air in the vents, and Ridd'ck landed on some crates." Miranda_ 06-10-2009 10:32 PM Diego came into the nav room. "Did he try to run off then? I've got some cuffs off a guard." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:33 PM "Ah, Diego." Jun took the cuffs and slapped them onto Ridd'ck's wrists. "Mina tells me you and Yuni are the ones who technically caught him." Miranda_ 06-10-2009 10:36 PM "That's right," said Diego. "I hexed the air in the vents to create a wind tunnel, and Yuni found where he came out." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:38 PM "Well, then, you two get your ends of the bargain." Jun smiled. "Can you two take him to the empty cell number 34 in Alpha block for me? I need to get back to watching the cameras." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 10:39 PM Mina looked over at the cameras, then gasped. "Subby, that's not the merc hallway, that's a television show!" Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:41 PM Jun hit the keyboard; it changed back to the cameras. "I have no idea what you're talking about." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 10:44 PM "Pshaw! That was Supernatural, an old-Earth classic!" Mina said, putting her hands on her hips. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:45 PM "Okay, you've got me. I'm just trying to figure out why the hell they never caught Lillith. How hard can it be to catch a brat like that?" Jun looked annoyed. Yuni stifled a giggle. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 10:46 PM Mina grinned. "So, is it the newest one, then?" Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:47 PM "Yes." She rolled her eyes. "Sean and Jimmy still can't find her, even after a couple thousand years of the Winchesters chasing her. It's ridiculous." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 10:50 PM "Jeez. Hopefully they come up with a new plotline or something soon." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:51 PM "Yeah." Jun looked pensive, then snapped out of it. "Get back to what you were doing!" Miranda_ 06-10-2009 10:51 PM Diego looked bored. "I'll take him to the cell, then." He pulled Riddi'ck to his feet. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 10:53 PM Mina rolled her eyes. "Right-o, Subs. Enjoy your show." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 10:54 PM Yuni helped Diego pick him up; Ridd'ck was being unusually docile. "Come on." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 10:56 PM Mina followed them. Miranda_ 06-10-2009 11:02 PM When they were out of earshot from Jun, Diego said to Riddi'ck, "Nothing personal; I just wanted the privileges. It beats being cuffed and bored all day." |

Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 11:06 PM "I know the feeling. Trust me." Ridd'ck shrugged as best he could. "So, is the food any good here?" "You should know, you've been stealing it." "It's frozen, so no, I don't." Miranda_ 06-10-2009 11:17 PM "It's food, and that's all that counts," said Diego. "At least it's edible." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 11:22 PM "It's more than edible, it's gourmet." Yuni nodded. "Well, since the one prisoner started cooking, he used to be a chef." spirit_queen 06-10-2009 11:23 PM "Yup. Too bad he's going to Crematoria." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 11:30 PM "No, he's staying on because Jun doesn't want to have to hire a decent chef." Yuni gestured to a guard to open the door. spirit_queen 06-10-2009 11:32 PM "Really? No one told me that." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-10-2009 11:55 PM Diego showed Riddi'ck into the cell. "Hope they don't put you in cryosleep or anything." Silent_Wolf 06-10-2009 11:57 PM "They know better than to do that. There's ways to get out of it." He smirked; it was faintly sinister. O.o Miranda_ 06-11-2009 12:02 AM "I'll believe it when I see it." Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 12:08 AM "You just jump into another prisoner's box before they knock you out in the exercise room." Miranda_ 06-11-2009 12:20 AM "That sounded like you were talking but I didn't hear anything that made sense." -.- Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 12:23 AM "When you're in cryo, you get two minutes of exercise every day. Sometimes you're in there with another prisoner. Before you get knocked out when the two minutes is up, you jump into their box." Miranda_ 06-11-2009 12:33 AM "Oh, I get it now. But I'm trying to make sure I don't get put into cryo." Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 11:41 AM "Smart move." spirit_queen 06-11-2009 11:43 AM "... I still can't believe Subby was watchign television on the job." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 11:46 AM "I knew. She's a funny Draconian, alright." spirit_queen 06-11-2009 11:52 AM "Funniest thing is, she's my fourth cousin." Mina said. "Maybe whackiness runs in the family, or somethin." Ooc: made that up. XD I'll edit it, if you don't like it. Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 11:56 AM Ooc: That's fine. XD ~~ "You don't slack off on the job." He sat down on the cot, stretching out his arms despite the cuffs. spirit_queen 06-11-2009 11:58 AM "Doesn't mean I haven't before, or even straight-up neglected it and disobeyed orders." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 11:58 AM "True. But you seem pretty much a straight arrow." spirit_queen 06-11-2009 12:03 PM "Doesn't mean I want to be; it's to do with the mission." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 12:11 PM "So I see." spirit_queen 06-11-2009 12:13 PM Mina sighed. "I'd risk all for it." Miranda_ 06-11-2009 07:06 PM "I wouldn't," said Diego. "I look out for number one. In any case, I can't hang around here chatting all day. Lock the door, and go, Mina; you probably have work to do, too." spirit_queen 06-11-2009 07:08 PM Mina rolled her eyes. "Fine." Miranda_ 06-11-2009 11:05 PM Diego waited til the door was locked before he left; he wasn't sure if he quite trusted Mina. Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 11:06 PM *later* Yuni was showing Diego how to work in the cryosleep bay. "Basically you check the settings. If something is off, you enter the code for the panel and reset it to go to normal mode. If somebody's dead, you let the guards know." Miranda_ 06-11-2009 11:11 PM Diego looked bored. "Just how is doing this any better than sleeping all day?" Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 11:16 PM "It passes the time a lot faster." Miranda_ 06-11-2009 11:21 PM "I'm still in jail, tho. And I'm not really good at exacting stuff." Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 11:22 PM "You don't need to. You just punch in a code. All you have to do is tell this handheld the serial number on the panel and it'll tell you the code." Miranda_ 06-11-2009 11:27 PM "Which means it's even more boring than I thought it was." Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 11:28 PM "Not really. You can make faces at the prisoners." :lol: Miranda_ 06-11-2009 11:46 PM "I don't see the point." -.- Silent_Wolf 06-11-2009 11:53 PM "It's just funny." Miranda_ 06-11-2009 11:58 PM Diego sighed. "I thought I'd get to use my power." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 12:04 AM "If you're helping the cargo hold, you can." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 12:08 AM "I don't see how." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 12:23 AM "Sometimes the machines jam." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 12:33 AM "It's still boring, tho. And everyone will have to stand clear." |

Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 11:20 AM "You might make something akin to friends at least. Then you'll stop being bored." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 05:48 PM "I doubt it. I didn't make any friends before, what makes you think I'll make them now?" Diego was acting just like a bratty teenager. XD Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 06:42 PM "Just give it a shot, alright? Who knows, maybe people'll stop trying to annoy you." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 06:51 PM "Why would they, when they get so much pleasure out of it?" muttered Diego. Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 07:03 PM "You shouldn't let people bother you." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 07:52 PM "They wouldn't get a chance to even try if I was allowed to use my powers on them. Not to kill them, just teach them a lesson." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 07:57 PM "You'd still get in trouble." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 08:25 PM "That's why I said I wasn't going to do it." :roll: Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 08:26 PM "Sorry, got distracted for a second there." She could've sworn one of the prisoners in a cell was moving around. O_o Miranda_ 06-12-2009 08:38 PM Diego noticed, too. "Is that guy sleepwalking or something?" Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 08:40 PM "Sleeptwitching, that's for sure." She tapped the wall of the box in the pyramid. "Check him, the number for this box is..." She read off the code. Miranda_ 06-12-2009 08:49 PM Diego looked it up. "This guy," he said, handing her a file. "He started a lot of fires, apparently." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 08:56 PM "Oh great. Type in 34153P and reset his cell." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 09:00 PM Diego did so. "What's that going to do?" Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 09:00 PM "It'll knock him out again." She put the file back. Miranda_ 06-12-2009 09:05 PM "Well, it's certainly doing that." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 09:10 PM "Yeah, he stopped moving." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 09:16 PM "But he's not dead, right?" Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 09:22 PM "Nope. Just in a deep state of unconsciousness that is neither awake nor asleep. You're kinda there, but you're not." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 09:31 PM "Sounds like listening to politics of any description." -.- Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 09:46 PM "Unless it's the kind of politics that erupt into something akin to a barroom brawl. Those ones are awesome." :mrgreen: Miranda_ 06-12-2009 09:47 PM "Never heard of those, just the boring kind." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 09:52 PM "Back on Avion, the politicians always started fist fighting. It was great. Almost better than Earth wrestlers." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 10:11 PM "I never really was interested in that. Most of it looked staged, anyway." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 10:12 PM "Even when people started bleeding?" O_o Miranda_ 06-12-2009 10:26 PM "That can be staged too. Blood capsules." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 10:29 PM "Bruising?" Miranda_ 06-12-2009 10:46 PM "What kind of wrestling were you watching, anyway? Probably not the official kind, which is what I'm talking about." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 10:47 PM "Nuh uh. This was the one where they took tables and chairs and bashed each other over the heads." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 10:49 PM "Never watched that. After I got kicked out, there wasn't any way to watch either." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 10:51 PM "If the rec room's not too busy, we can watch some. They play some reruns occasionally." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 10:55 PM "Yeah; now I don't have to wear the cuffs, I don't mind the idea of going in there." *later* Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 10:57 PM They were watching wrestling. Meaning, the kind where they took chairs and beat each other to a bloody pulp. XD Miranda_ 06-12-2009 11:04 PM As in, the good kind as opposed to the sanitised official kind. xD Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 11:05 PM "Come on! Bash him in the head with the table! WOO!" Yuni was obviously enjoying the match. XD "God I hate that guy." Miranda_ 06-12-2009 11:16 PM "Yeah, I see the difference now," said Diego. "Wonder where Mina is? Haven't seen her for a while." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 11:16 PM "Probably talking to Ridd'ck." spirit_queen 06-12-2009 11:23 PM Actually, she wasn't; Amira was in charge today, and she was taking a spa day... well, as close to a spa day as was possible on this ship. :lol: Miranda_ 06-12-2009 11:33 PM "Yeah, probably. She's totally crushing on him; surprised she didn't let him go, actually." Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 11:37 PM "Maybe she wanted to but decided not to." |

Miranda_ 06-12-2009 11:47 PM "Why would she change her mind like that?" Silent_Wolf 06-12-2009 11:48 PM "Didn't want to get in trouble?" Miranda_ 06-13-2009 12:06 AM "Didn't think she cared about that." Silent_Wolf 06-13-2009 12:50 AM "Well, she said she's got something she's been trying to do, so maybe being in a prison would inhibit that." Miranda_ 06-13-2009 09:13 PM "It's still obvious she has a crush, tho." Silent_Wolf 06-14-2009 12:10 PM "And it couldn't be on a worse person. Ridd'ck's never liked anybody. Toombs did a lot of research on Ridd'ck before coming after me, and he said that Ridd'ck never had a relationship beyond accomplice with anybody." Miranda_ 06-14-2009 08:18 PM "So he's basically using her then. He probably thought she'd let him go." Silent_Wolf 06-15-2009 04:09 PM "I wouldn't say he's using her. He's.. very strange. You'd have more luck talking to Toombs about it, I've never met the guy before." Miranda_ 06-15-2009 05:25 PM "Yeah, but Toombs isn't around to talk to right now." Silent_Wolf 06-15-2009 07:13 PM "He's over there at the PacMan 3000 machine." O_o Miranda_ 06-15-2009 07:17 PM "That's what I meant; he might be physically here, but he's playing a game so I can hardly go and interrupt, can I?" Silent_Wolf 06-15-2009 07:18 PM "..." Yuni looked completely mystified. XD "It's not like he's talking to somebody." Miranda_ 06-15-2009 07:44 PM "I can see you're not a gamer." -.- Silent_Wolf 06-15-2009 07:49 PM "Never had the chance to get into much gaming." Miranda_ 06-15-2009 08:04 PM "I play games, on and off; it passes the time between hits." Silent_Wolf 06-15-2009 08:08 PM "There was this really old one I was really into, Prototype; it was set in Old Earth New York City and you were this guy who came back from the dead as some kind of monster that could take the form of any person he wanted. You find out that you inadvertantly caused a virus to escape and you have to find out how to either stop it or stop the Blackwatch army group. This one part was a pain in my ass though, I gave up." Miranda_ 06-15-2009 08:21 PM "Never played that one; I had this multigame that had a lot of old games on it. And I mean seriously old, from way back." Silent_Wolf 06-15-2009 08:27 PM "I remember that Wii thing. I like virtual reality games better." >_> Miranda_ 06-15-2009 08:37 PM "I never played any so I can't judge." Silent_Wolf 06-15-2009 08:38 PM "They're pretty awesome. You put on this neural suit and gloves that are attached to a helmet, and you're basically put into whatever game you choose. Sonic isn't very fun." O_o Miranda_ 06-15-2009 08:52 PM "It's fun on the Wii." Silent_Wolf 06-15-2009 08:55 PM "I hit myself in the face a lot." Miranda_ 06-15-2009 09:24 PM "Anyway, I'll wait til Toombs has finished before I go and talk to him." Silent_Wolf 06-15-2009 11:59 PM "And there he goes to another game, quick!" Toombs was actually just seeing what the high score was on a Duke Nukem machine. XD Miranda_ 06-16-2009 12:06 AM Diego quickly went over to intercept him. Silent_Wolf 06-16-2009 12:08 AM "One second, just need to see if anybody's beaten me yet." He hit the button to turn on the screen. "Woo! Nobody's beat ol' Toombs yet." He laughed. "What did you want?" Miranda_ 06-16-2009 12:34 AM "I'd like to know what you know about Riddi'ck." Silent_Wolf 06-16-2009 12:35 AM "Well, he ain't human. Or Draconian. Or Avian. Or a mutie like you'n me." He sat down in one of the chairs. "Have a seat. This'll take awhile." Miranda_ 06-16-2009 12:45 AM Diego shrugged and sat down in a chair. "So, what is he, then?" Silent_Wolf 06-16-2009 12:48 AM "That's just it. I don't know. He acts like one of those Eagle Avians; real aloof, not really responsive. But he ain't one." Toombs mussed up his curly red hair, frowning. "First got wind of him back on a merc ship. Lady who owned it turned the universe's highest bounties into super cryo frozen sculptures. Not living, not dead, and to make any movement takes weeks. Even blinking takes forever. They're trapped in their own heads." He cleared his throat a bit. "Ridd'ck was on the ship with a rabbi and a teenager. Think the kid's name was Jack. Anyways, he went completely out of his way to protect them, from what I've heard, and at first I was surprised when I found out his old record of killing. He used to use people, but after that merc ship he cut himself off from people altogether. Went into hiding." Miranda_ 06-16-2009 01:16 AM "So what was he doing in the vents here?" Silent_Wolf 06-16-2009 01:17 AM "Hitching a ride, I guess. It happens." He shrugged. Miranda_ 06-16-2009 01:20 AM "It's a bit dumb to hitch a ride on a prison ship tho." Silent_Wolf 06-16-2009 01:22 AM "Guess he just never got caught before." spirit_queen 06-16-2009 11:22 PM At that moment, Amira chose to come in. XD "What about getting caught?" She asked. It ws obvious it was her from the pitch of her voice. Silent_Wolf 06-16-2009 11:23 PM "Getting caught in a fight. Da.mn annoying." Toombs wasn't too sure of Amira. XD spirit_queen 06-16-2009 11:26 PM Amira raised an eyebrow and said "Oooooookaaaaaay..." Miranda_ 06-17-2009 12:06 PM "Or when I got caught; even worse. I still plan to kill that guy when I find out who he is." spirit_queen 06-17-2009 12:07 PM "Well, good luck with that one." Amira said. Miranda_ 06-17-2009 12:22 PM "He's the one that needs the luck, not me." |

spirit_queen 06-17-2009 12:23 PM Amira laughed. "That's probably true." Silent_Wolf 06-18-2009 02:40 PM "I think Yuni's cursed with bad luck, m'self. There was this one bounty hunter who was chasing her a few years before I did, luckiest da.mn man in the universe. Think he was a mutie. Not with your powers, Diego, but weird things happened around him that always worked in his favor. Think he might've just been telekinetic but whatever. But despite all his good luck, he could never catch Yuni, because no matter how many things went right for him, it all switched around and she'd be able to escape." Toombs yawned. "He finally gave up." Miranda_ 06-18-2009 02:45 PM "I wouldn't. That's why none of my hits ever got away." Silent_Wolf 06-18-2009 02:48 PM "To each their own. I go after difficult ones because I like the challenge." spirit_queen 06-18-2009 09:26 PM "I've already got enough on my plate; I don't need challenge." Amira said. Miranda_ 06-18-2009 09:31 PM "It doesn't matter if mine are difficult, I get them in the end," Diego said. "One was even stupid enough to mock me in print. Idiot." Silent_Wolf 06-18-2009 09:36 PM "What did they say?" O_o Miranda_ 06-18-2009 09:42 PM "Basically insulted me, and said I was just some stupid brat from the gutters of Old Earth." spirit_queen 06-18-2009 09:44 PM "Big mistake." x.x Amira said. Miranda_ 06-18-2009 10:01 PM "Too bad for him that he didn't live to regret saying that. He also called me 'Mad Dog'; no-one calls me that and lives." -.- Silent_Wolf 06-18-2009 10:02 PM "You are mad though. Not the crazy sense, mind, I mean the full on p*ssed off kind." O_o Miranda_ 06-18-2009 10:10 PM "I'm not a dog tho, last time I checked." Silent_Wolf 06-18-2009 10:11 PM "Let me level with you though, when I hear the phrase 'mad dog' I think of pitbulls. Those dogs are fearsome when they want to be." O_o "So honestly whenever I heard of you referred to as Mad Dog, I freaked out a bit." spirit_queen 06-18-2009 10:14 PM "Except he's not as big as a pitbull." Amira said. Miranda_ 06-18-2009 10:27 PM "I still hate the nickname. That and 'Dingo'." Diego pulled a face. spirit_queen 06-18-2009 10:28 PM "Could be worse." Amira said. Miranda_ 06-18-2009 10:42 PM "I also hate it when people say that." -.- spirit_queen 06-18-2009 10:42 PM "They could've called you Itsy Bitsy Spider, or something. I actually knew a guy with that nickname." Amira said. Miranda_ 06-18-2009 10:46 PM "They wouldn't, cuz I'm not a spider." spirit_queen 06-18-2009 10:48 PM "But, still, the guy wasn't taken seriously until he made them pay." Amira said. Miranda_ 06-18-2009 10:52 PM Diego gave her a look. "That wouldn't happen to me, seeing as the first thing I did when I got off Old Earth was to kill someone." spirit_queen 06-18-2009 10:56 PM "He did kill before, but he was even shorter and punier than you, so they called him Spider. he told them off, but they didn't listen, so he killed everyone who called ihm Spider that was on the ship... which left it unpiloted." -.- Miranda_ 06-18-2009 11:07 PM "I'm bored with this topic. Just accept that I don't like people saying it could be worse, and leave it." -.- spirit_queen 06-18-2009 11:08 PM "Sure thing, Grumpy." Amira said, rolling her eyes. Miranda_ 06-19-2009 07:06 PM "At least I don't have a split personality." spirit_queen 06-19-2009 07:43 PM "Not like it's my fault." Amira said. "It's the slave-traders' fault. Your attitude problem, however, is enitrely your fault." Miranda_ 06-19-2009 08:02 PM "Sorry, but you seem to have confused me with someone who gives a sh*t." spirit_queen 06-19-2009 08:06 PM "Whatever, puppy boy." Amira said. Miranda_ 06-19-2009 08:11 PM "Whatever, wussy girl. You're only saying that to me cuz I can't teach you the lesson you deserve here." spirit_queen 06-19-2009 08:14 PM "What's it feel like to be forced to be like everybody else?" Amira said. Miranda_ 06-19-2009 08:19 PM "What's it feel like to be insane and fit only to be locked up in the loony bin?" Diego snapped back. spirit_queen 06-19-2009 08:45 PM Amira yawned. "You know, I think I won't help you out after all. Maybe you don't need my expertise." she knew that he'd know what she was talking about when she said this. She began to stand up. Miranda_ 06-19-2009 09:01 PM "You can't help anyway, if you're dead which you will be if you don't quit trying to get at me. And to hell with the consequences, frankly." spirit_queen 06-19-2009 09:03 PM "Good luck at Crematoria." Amira said. She really did leave this time. Silent_Wolf 06-19-2009 09:05 PM ".. You realize she's riling you up on purpose, right?" Toombs whistled. "Sometimes I wonder who the merc really is, her or Mina." Miranda_ 06-19-2009 09:08 PM "I don't care about what some stupid b*tch thinks," said Diego. "In any case, it's Mina I made the deal with, not her retarded other personality. Maybe if I get a chance later, I should hex her and turf her out of Mina's head." Silent_Wolf 06-19-2009 09:26 PM "Maybe Amira's got some kinda grudge against Mina and that's why she's being so nasty to everybody." Miranda_ 06-19-2009 09:26 PM "Then she can have it floating about without a body if she prefers." Silent_Wolf 06-19-2009 09:31 PM "You should at least ask Mina first. I mean, it's her head too." Miranda_ 06-19-2009 10:03 PM "She'd probably be glad to be rid of that irritation." |

Silent_Wolf 06-19-2009 10:07 PM Toombs shrugged. "Still should ask her." Miranda_ 06-19-2009 10:14 PM "I can't ask her now while she's not here." Silent_Wolf 06-20-2009 10:06 PM "Talk to her later, then." *later!.. XD* spirit_queen 06-20-2009 10:07 PM It was dinner-time, and Mina was awake largely because they were having steak. xD She loved steak. Silent_Wolf 06-20-2009 10:12 PM Yuni wasn't too fond of it, herself; she preferred chicken over beef. XD spirit_queen 06-20-2009 10:16 PM XD "Hey, Tweetums, if you don't want your beef, will you give it to me?" Mina asked. Silent_Wolf 06-20-2009 10:16 PM "Stop calling me that." Yuni made a face; however she still made a note to get some steak with whatever else was being served. spirit_queen 06-20-2009 10:17 PM "Oh, sorry. Didn't know you hated it; never said anything before." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-20-2009 10:20 PM "I'll still get you some. There's almost never seconds for steak." spirit_queen 06-20-2009 10:21 PM "Aww, thanks, Yuni." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-20-2009 10:21 PM ".. Wait, were you talking about the nickname or the steak?" She looked confused. spirit_queen 06-20-2009 10:24 PM "Steak, probably." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-20-2009 10:25 PM "Oh." Yuni blinked. spirit_queen 06-20-2009 10:27 PM "I dunno, I'm too hungry to think." Mina siad. "It sounds pathetic, but it's true." Just then, her stomach grumbled and sounded like thunder. xD Silent_Wolf 06-20-2009 10:27 PM Yuni stared at her. ".. Uh." spirit_queen 06-20-2009 10:29 PM >.> <.< "What? I can't help it!" Silent_Wolf 06-20-2009 10:34 PM "I uh, noticed." O_o spirit_queen 06-20-2009 10:36 PM "Well, at least we're not the far in the line anymore." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-20-2009 10:36 PM "Yeah. This is why I try to get early dinner." spirit_queen 06-20-2009 10:40 PM Mina nodded. Miranda_ 06-21-2009 07:37 PM Diego joined the end of the queue. Silent_Wolf 06-21-2009 07:38 PM "Hey, buddy." Yuni stood on her toes to look over Mina's head at the lunch line in front of them. Miranda_ 06-21-2009 08:31 PM "Hi. I'm late cuz I stayed to watch a fight." XD Silent_Wolf 06-21-2009 08:39 PM "Oo, between who?" Yuni looked back at him. "I always miss the good ones." Miranda_ 06-21-2009 09:10 PM "Between that weirdo with the long hair in dreads and that girl who looks like a butch le'sbian but apparently isn't one." Silent_Wolf 06-21-2009 09:11 PM "Who won then?" She grabbed a tray for him when she grabbed hers. Miranda_ 06-21-2009 09:24 PM "Neither; a killjoy guard broke it up." Diego joined Yuni in the queue; no-one protested. O.o Silent_Wolf 06-21-2009 09:29 PM "Aw, man. I bet nobody'll stop Ridd'ck winning a fight though." Miranda_ 06-21-2009 09:46 PM "Depends if he gets the chance or not." Silent_Wolf 06-21-2009 09:51 PM "He just might. A lot of people who don't know better want a piece of him. Bad idea. I mean, the guy escaped from Butcher Bay." O_o Miranda_ 06-21-2009 09:58 PM "He's locked in a cell the whole time. =.- In any case, if he gets into a fight, he'll be toast." Silent_Wolf 06-21-2009 10:06 PM "As long as he doesn't get into a fight with you, he won't. Even the sub captain's afraid of him." Miranda_ 06-21-2009 10:12 PM "He'd better not pick a fight with me; I don't want to end up cuffed again." -.- Silent_Wolf 06-21-2009 10:15 PM "I doubt he will. He's not really one to start fights, either." Miranda_ 06-21-2009 10:37 PM "I'm not, either." Diego smirked. "I just finish them." Silent_Wolf 06-21-2009 10:39 PM "I know. But don't take anything he says seriously, alright?" spirit_queen 06-21-2009 10:43 PM "Well, subby shouldn't have to worry, actually; he sid that he has no desire fight a draconian." She paused. "Well, that's assuming he meant that. It seemed like he did, especially when he, ah, never fought me at all when I dragged him to Subs." Silent_Wolf 06-21-2009 10:44 PM "Maybe he finds you guys too tough. Or respects your race. Or something." spirit_queen 06-21-2009 10:47 PM "Maybe. Or maybe he doesn't like the idea of fighting something that can transform into a beastie 8 times your size." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-21-2009 11:38 PM "I could fix that easily," said Diego. "Not that I'd start a fight, just saying." |

spirit_queen 06-21-2009 11:43 PM Mina raised an eyebrow. "I wan's ttalking aboutmsoembody like you, with your powers. I was talking about most people. Most people don't wanna tangle with us unless in a small space or unless they have big, big guns." Miranda_ 06-21-2009 11:47 PM "Maybe if they had a power like my brother has, cept with dragons rather than birds, they might." spirit_queen 06-21-2009 11:51 PM "What power is that?" Mina asked. Miranda_ 06-21-2009 11:59 PM "He can talk to and have control over birds. Stupid power to my mind." spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:02 AM "Might now be, if he used it well. Like, he could have spies all over the place that people woulnd't take any notice of, he could use birs of prey like weapons." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-22-2009 12:10 AM "Depends on whether or not he had the brains to get off Old Earth, like I did." spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:11 AM "He might have." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-22-2009 11:58 AM ".. Remind me to keep away from him." Yuni looked a little worried. XD spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:08 PM Mina patted her head. "Don't worry Yuni-bird, I'll protect you." she was kidding around, by the way. XD Silent_Wolf 06-22-2009 12:09 PM Yuni didn't look impressed. "Gee, thanks." spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:11 PM "Well, there's not much I could do if he controlled ya like that Pied Piper dude, except knock him out, And if he gave you orders to kill or plunder, or something, then I'd have to knock you out to stop you, or summin'." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-22-2009 12:14 PM "I'd probably knock myself out." spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:19 PM "Great. Hey, look! we're so close! steak time is almost heeeeere!" Mina said. XD She gets very excited on steak day. Silent_Wolf 06-22-2009 12:24 PM "... You had more than one Pepsi Nuke, didn't you?" spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:28 PM >.> "Maaaaaaybee..." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-22-2009 12:29 PM "You really need to watch your intake of those! Those are worse than the Monsters." spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:33 PM "Monsters are good, too." :mrgreen: Mina was apparently on a sugar-high. O.o Silent_Wolf 06-22-2009 12:34 PM "That's it, I'm going to stalk you to make sure you don't drink anymore." -_- spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:34 PM "Noooo! You stay away form my nukes and my monsters!" Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-22-2009 12:36 PM "Not if you drink that many, you'll give yourself a heart attack!" O_o spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:37 PM "I won't, I promise! Just let me keep 'em!" Mina said. Silent_Wolf 06-22-2009 12:39 PM Yuni sighed. "Fine." spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:41 PM "Yay!" ^^ Mina said. Then, finally, they could get their food. Silent_Wolf 06-22-2009 12:43 PM Yuni got a salad and a bag of sunflower seeds, as well as a steak for Mina. XD spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:44 PM Mina got a steak, some corn, and cornbread. Silent_Wolf 06-22-2009 12:45 PM Yuni didn't like cornbread. XD "I hate that stuff." She popped a sunflower seed in her mouth after sitting down. spirit_queen 06-22-2009 06:05 PM "I love anything to do with corn." Mina said. "But not nearly as much as I love steak!" she then tore into her steak like a beast. XD Miranda_ 06-22-2009 07:03 PM Diego got a steak, too, but nothing on the side. spirit_queen 06-22-2009 07:05 PM "This is great steak." Mina said with a mouthfull of food. O.o Miranda_ 06-22-2009 07:31 PM "Yeah, makes a change. It's even pretty rare, not well done; I can't stand well done steak." spirit_queen 06-22-2009 07:32 PM "Same. I like mine as close to bloody as is possible." Mina said. By now she'd finished the steak (even tohugh it was very thick), and was eating her cornbread. Miranda_ 06-22-2009 08:06 PM "Well done tastes like leather. You might as well be eating a shoe." spirit_queen 06-22-2009 08:06 PM "Yup." Mina agreed. Silent_Wolf 06-23-2009 11:52 AM Yuni just gave Mina her steak once she was sure the guards and cooks weren't looking. XD "I like rare cheeseburgers. Those are good, nice and juicy." spirit_queen 06-23-2009 11:56 AM "You have to be careful of the source, though, unless you're not vulnerable to them e-bugs. Draconians aren't completely immune, just mostly, so I have to be careful." Mina said before tearing into the other steak. Silent_Wolf 06-23-2009 11:59 AM "Vultures are. Not sure if Hawks are but I've eaten raw meat before so I think I'm alive." :lol: "But honestly, if you flamechar a burger it should get hot enough to kill off all bacteria." Miranda_ 06-23-2009 12:00 PM "Thought you didn't eat meat; cheeseburgers are still meat." Silent_Wolf 06-23-2009 12:01 PM "I just don't eat steak." She shrugged. "It doesn't have much of an appeal to me." spirit_queen 06-23-2009 12:02 PM "I'm a beast. I like all meat." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-23-2009 12:16 PM "As far as I'm concerned, I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian." |

XD spirit_queen 06-22-2009 12:44 PM Mina got a steak, some corn, and cornbread. Silent_Wolf 06-22-2009 12:45 PM Yuni didn't like cornbread. XD "I hate that stuff." She popped a sunflower seed in her mouth after sitting down. spirit_queen 06-22-2009 06:05 PM "I love anything to do with corn." Mina said. "But not nearly as much as I love steak!" she then tore into her steak like a beast. XD Miranda_ 06-22-2009 07:03 PM Diego got a steak, too, but nothing on the side. spirit_queen 06-22-2009 07:05 PM "This is great steak." Mina said with a mouthfull of food. O.o Miranda_ 06-22-2009 07:31 PM "Yeah, makes a change. It's even pretty rare, not well done; I can't stand well done steak." spirit_queen 06-22-2009 07:32 PM "Same. I like mine as close to bloody as is possible." Mina said. By now she'd finished the steak (even tohugh it was very thick), and was eating her cornbread. Miranda_ 06-22-2009 08:06 PM "Well done tastes like leather. You might as well be eating a shoe." spirit_queen 06-22-2009 08:06 PM "Yup." Mina agreed. Silent_Wolf 06-23-2009 11:52 AM Yuni just gave Mina her steak once she was sure the guards and cooks weren't looking. XD "I like rare cheeseburgers. Those are good, nice and juicy." spirit_queen 06-23-2009 11:56 AM "You have to be careful of the source, though, unless you're not vulnerable to them e-bugs. Draconians aren't completely immune, just mostly, so I have to be careful." Mina said before tearing into the other steak. Silent_Wolf 06-23-2009 11:59 AM "Vultures are. Not sure if Hawks are but I've eaten raw meat before so I think I'm alive." :lol: "But honestly, if you flamechar a burger it should get hot enough to kill off all bacteria." Miranda_ 06-23-2009 12:00 PM "Thought you didn't eat meat; cheeseburgers are still meat." Silent_Wolf 06-23-2009 12:01 PM "I just don't eat steak." She shrugged. "It doesn't have much of an appeal to me." spirit_queen 06-23-2009 12:02 PM "I'm a beast. I like all meat." Mina said. Miranda_ 06-23-2009 12:16 PM "As far as I'm concerned, I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian." |

Miranda_ 07-04-2009 12:49 PM Diego shrugged. "Close enough." Silent_Wolf 07-04-2009 12:52 PM "Woo! What do I get as a prize?" She was joking. Miranda_ 07-04-2009 01:02 PM "You get to throw my leftovers in the trash." XD Silent_Wolf 07-04-2009 01:08 PM "The bin's right behind you." She pointed. Miranda_ 07-04-2009 01:55 PM "Yeah, but I can't be bothered to reach behind me." Silent_Wolf 07-04-2009 02:02 PM "Aaand it's gone now." Miranda_ 07-04-2009 02:08 PM "Doesn't matter; someone else will clear away." Silent_Wolf 07-04-2009 02:10 PM "I guess. I just feel bad for the chumps on kitchen duty." She grimaced. Miranda_ 07-04-2009 02:18 PM "Depends what they did to merit such a punishment." Silent_Wolf 07-04-2009 02:20 PM "It's not really a punishment. Prisoners just get certain jobs depending on what their crimes were. Some prisoners get no jobs at all." spirit_queen 07-04-2009 02:22 PM "like you." Mina said, patting Diego's head. XD Miranda_ 07-04-2009 02:27 PM "Actually, I've got a job now, for your information. And I'm not a dog." -.- spirit_queen 07-04-2009 02:31 PM "Aww. But then we could be the group of animal friends; the lizard, the bird, and the dog." XD Miranda_ 07-04-2009 02:37 PM "Anyone calls me a dog ends up badly hurt, so I wouldn't recommend it." spirit_queen 07-04-2009 02:44 PM "You're a funs*cker." Mina said. Miranda_ 07-11-2009 01:34 PM "In your opinion, which doesn't matter to me." *later* Silent_Wolf 07-11-2009 01:42 PM Ridd'ck appeared to be dozing off in the rec room; he was shackled by the arms much like Diego had been, though this was to keep everybody else safe. XD A couple of prisoners were whispering to each other. "Come on, poke him." "No way, I'm not doing it." "Doooo eeet." Miranda_ 07-11-2009 01:49 PM Diego was sitting in the corner, boredly shuffling cards together. Silent_Wolf 07-11-2009 01:59 PM Yuni was playing tri-level chess against Toombs again. "... You going to make a move or not?" She yawned. Toombs just shook his head. "You've got me boxed in." Miranda_ 07-11-2009 02:13 PM "This is so boring; I'm even starting to wish the ship would get to Crematoria. At least it would be different." Silent_Wolf 07-11-2009 02:16 PM "I hear they've got Hellhounds. Those things are rare." Miranda_ 07-11-2009 02:24 PM "I'd be cool with those. At least they'd be different." Silent_Wolf 07-11-2009 02:24 PM "I don't get why they're called 'hounds,' though, they look more like cats. Big scary cats." Yuni has never liked cats. Wonder why? XD Miranda_ 07-11-2009 02:31 PM "Cats aren't that scary." Silent_Wolf 07-11-2009 02:33 PM "They are so." -.- Miranda_ 07-11-2009 02:45 PM "Maybe to you, but not to everyone. Not even to all birds." Silent_Wolf 07-11-2009 02:46 PM "Small Avians got eaten on New Mecca." -_- "Like the ones that refused to get out of their bird forms." Miranda_ 07-11-2009 02:52 PM "Sucks to be them in that case." Silent_Wolf 07-11-2009 02:54 PM "But anyway, the Hellhounds aren't just cat-looking, they're BIG." Ooc: brb, breakfast. spirit_queen 07-11-2009 08:13 PM "What about cats?" Mina asked as she came in. She was bored, too; nothing needed repaired. Miranda_ 07-12-2009 11:19 AM "Yuni's scared of them, that's what." spirit_queen 07-12-2009 12:43 PM "Oh. I guess it makes sense; some cats are just mean." Mina said, nodding. "But I'm not deathly afraid of 'em myself." Miranda_ 07-13-2009 07:40 PM "Well, Yuni's a bird so guess it makes sense for her to be scared." Diego stared moodily accross the room. "I'm so bored." spirit_queen 07-13-2009 09:04 PM "Umm.... well, I could try to think up some games, or summin'." Mina said. Miranda_ 07-13-2009 09:10 PM "Like what exactly?" spirit_queen 07-13-2009 09:12 PM "Ummm... you don't have a tail, so no rock-ball... well, there are other games, but we need mroe than two people." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 07-13-2009 09:23 PM "I thought Draconians played Rockball with their heads." Yuni yawned. spirit_queen 07-13-2009 09:31 PM "And tails." Mina said. "You just can't let it hit the ground, or any other part of your body but the head or tail." She paused. "But, of course, there are different versions of the game." Silent_Wolf 07-13-2009 09:37 PM "What versions were there then? We had dance and whatnot competitions. There were also events to see which male Avians were the most flamboyant." She paused. "That doesn't mean g*y; just means which is more colorful in their Avian forms. My brother won once by a mistake, he'd had an incident with some hairdye and his feathers were just all sorts of crazy colors for weeks after that." spirit_queen 07-13-2009 09:44 PM "There's a version that's similar to human dodgeball, the original, and there's even a version where you have to be in a handstand and keep the rock up with your feet and tail, not head and tail, but that one's only used in competitions." Mina said. |

Silent_Wolf 07-13-2009 09:53 PM "I played the handstand one once! Except we used a smaller rock and not a boulder." spirit_queen 07-13-2009 09:56 PM mina laughed. "'s not the same, Yuni bird. Ain't nuthin' without the boulder, trust me." Silent_Wolf 07-13-2009 09:58 PM "Well, we can't really stand on our heads in our real forms, you know!" She laughed. "The penguins can do that though." spirit_queen 07-13-2009 09:59 PM "You think it's easy for us? We're a bottom-heavy race." XD Silent_Wolf 07-13-2009 10:04 PM "Well, we've no wing strength!" XD spirit_queen 07-13-2009 10:05 PM "Oh, yeah, you guys don't have arms." Mina said. "I'm so used to having my own wings as a separate set of appendages." XD Silent_Wolf 07-13-2009 10:06 PM "I can't get used to humanoid arms. I keep forgetting I have hands and keep trying to use my feet." O_o spirit_queen 07-13-2009 10:07 PM "Ew." Mina said. "Human feet get so icky, though." Silent_Wolf 07-13-2009 10:07 PM "Mine never seem to. I just flat out don't sweat. Which means I overheat so I have to keep bottles of water with me constantly." She made a face. spirit_queen 07-13-2009 10:10 PM "You're strange, Yuni." O_o Mina said. Silent_Wolf 07-13-2009 10:15 PM "I think it's because Avians don't really sweat. Birds don't, I mean." spirit_queen 07-13-2009 10:16 PM "Huh. Dragons don't either, but I sweat in this form." mina said. Miranda_ 07-13-2009 10:17 PM "You know, I'm right here; you can at least wait before you trash humans, you know. Not that I'm entirely human, but still." spirit_queen 07-13-2009 10:18 PM "Hey, even humans admit feet are gross." Mina said. "I mean, do you like feet?" Silent_Wolf 07-13-2009 10:23 PM "It's not you, specifically. It's just, feet are weird." Miranda_ 07-13-2009 10:38 PM "So are claws for that matter, and tails." spirit_queen 07-13-2009 10:41 PM "you're just saying that to spite us." Mina said. Miranda_ 07-13-2009 10:47 PM "Not really; just pointing out that humans find those weirder than feet." Silent_Wolf 07-13-2009 10:48 PM "That has nothing to do with it. We're not used to having feet like yours." Miranda_ 07-13-2009 11:05 PM "Better get used to it then. I wasn't used to being around weirdos the moment I left Old Earth, but I got used to it pretty da'mn quick. I didn't have the choice." spirit_queen 07-14-2009 12:10 AM "I am used to the feet; I use this form a lot." Mina said. "I just wish they wouldn't sweat so much." Silent_Wolf 07-14-2009 12:22 PM "I can't get used to it, honestly. Even as old as I am, I just can't adapt." spirit_queen 07-14-2009 12:26 PM "I've spent most of my life learning to use both forms, actually; nowadyays, at home, it's a requirement." Silent_Wolf 07-14-2009 12:32 PM "I used to spend a lot of my time in my Avian form. Didn't matter where I was, most people are used to us by now. We're all over the place." :lol: spirit_queen 07-14-2009 12:38 PM "Blah. No fair." Mina said, sticking her tongue out at Yuni. Silent_Wolf 07-14-2009 12:50 PM "Hey, it's not our fault." Miranda_ 07-14-2009 12:51 PM "You still count as weirdos, tho." spirit_queen 07-14-2009 12:54 PM "I like being a weirdo, thank you." Mina said. "It makes life more interesting." Miranda_ 07-15-2009 12:00 AM "Not here it doesn't. Nothing could make this place anything but mindnumbingly boring." -.- spirit_queen 07-15-2009 12:03 AM "That's because this is a prison ship. Outside a prison ship being a freak is more fun." XD Miranda_ 07-15-2009 12:29 AM "I don't care about that, cuz I'm bored now." spirit_queen 07-15-2009 12:33 AM "Well, gather up a group, and I'll think of a game to play." Mina said. Miranda_ 07-15-2009 12:40 AM "Can't. Most everyone here's scared of me." spirit_queen 07-15-2009 12:41 AM "Aww. Darnit." -.- Silent_Wolf 07-15-2009 11:18 AM "Well, either they play or they're going to find themselves upside down." Miranda_ 07-15-2009 11:35 AM "Yeah, and that's really going to make it worth them cooperating." Silent_Wolf 07-15-2009 11:36 AM "We're all bored to death on this ship." spirit_queen 07-15-2009 12:15 PM "Yup." mina said. Miranda_ 07-15-2009 12:45 PM "So, if you turn them upside down, and they end up fainting, how's that going to help?" Silent_Wolf 07-15-2009 12:46 PM "I'll put them right side up if they agree to play." ^_^ |

spirit_queen 07-15-2009 12:59 PM "You do that, Yuni-bird." Mina said. Miranda_ 07-16-2009 08:38 PM "Then they won't be worth playing the game with." spirit_queen 07-16-2009 08:42 PM "Well, let's see if we can find willing participants before we bother those who don't want to." Mina said. Miranda_ 07-22-2009 12:04 PM "So get on with it already, before I die of boredom." Silent_Wolf 07-22-2009 12:19 PM "Come on, then." Yuni got up and started looking for people. xD spirit_queen 07-22-2009 02:54 PM Mina followed. Miranda_ 07-22-2009 11:38 PM Diego groaned as he got up and followed them. Silent_Wolf 07-22-2009 11:56 PM "Quit being such a baby." *later* spirit_queen 07-23-2009 08:49 AM They'd found no one; some were willing to play until the saw Diego, then left. One had offered, even with Diego, but his friend had dragged him away. O_o Silent_Wolf 07-23-2009 12:50 PM "..." Yuni cracked her knuckles. "Excuse me, guys." She walked off after the guy's friend and caught up with him in the Alpha prison block. "Hey, you have a problem playing games with people, buster?" "No way in hell am I letting my friend get mauled by the dingo!" "Mm-hmmm. So, is this going to be the easy way or the hard way?" Yuni crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow. "..what?" The man blinked. Yuni sighed and shook her head. "Playing dumb. That earns you the hard way." She cracked her neck a bit, pretending to look upset about it, but suddenly Yuni and the man were no longer standing there by the door; Yuni was leaning over the side of one of the catwalks, holding the man by one of his ankles. O.o "Well? How about now?" "No! No-no-no-no-and f**king NO!" "Alright, suit yourself." She loosened her grip on his leg, letting him slip a little bit. He started screaming. XD "FINE! FINE! I give! Oh god don't drop me!" X_X spirit_queen 07-23-2009 12:52 PM O_o "...she seriously did it." Mina said. Silent_Wolf 07-23-2009 12:54 PM Yuni let go of the man, who started screaming as he fell, but she jumped down too and grabbed him by the back of his shirt; they landed safely on the floor. XD She set him on his feet and fixed the collar of his shirt. "So, are you going to be a good boy and let your friend play with the other nice convicts?" She smiled sweetly; the man cowered and nodded. XD "Good! Maybe you can be the referee then. We just needed one more person to even out the teams." ^_^ And for some reason she wonders why she's called crazy... XD spirit_queen 07-23-2009 12:56 PM "...well... ah... who else wants to play?" mina said. Silent_Wolf 07-23-2009 12:57 PM "I think we're good. Where's your buddy, then?" She clapped the man on his shoulder; he squeaked a bit. XD "Th-The c-c-c-cafeteria." ".. Aw, don't tell me you're that afraid of heights, dude." O_o; spirit_queen 07-23-2009 12:59 PM "Oh! Diego, just so you know, whatever game we play, you'e not allowed to use your powers, alright? Not all of us can hex, so it woulnd't be fair." Mina said. Miranda_ 07-23-2009 02:18 PM "That makes it less fair, seeing as you're a dragon and are naturally stronger than humans." Silent_Wolf 07-23-2009 02:21 PM "We're going to play rockball with a dodgeball right?" Yuni picked one up; these were rather big. "Besides, we're all technically nonhumans here. If you want you can hex yourself to make yourself as strong as we are, but no more than that." spirit_queen 07-23-2009 02:28 PM "...can he do that?" Mina said. Miranda_ 07-23-2009 02:30 PM "Probably. I can make anything possible with hexing." spirit_queen 07-23-2009 02:31 PM "Oh." Mina said. "Well, try it and let's see if it works." Miranda_ 07-23-2009 02:52 PM "At least til I get bored with this." Silent_Wolf 07-23-2009 02:57 PM "Let's just play already." spirit_queen 07-23-2009 02:58 PM "Alright... so what version of rockball-with-a-dodgeball do y'all want to play? Wait; I think it's head by default." ^^; Silent_Wolf 07-23-2009 03:04 PM "Yeah." Yuni stretched her arms a bit. spirit_queen 07-23-2009 03:11 PM "Shall I explain the rules?" Mina asked. Silent_Wolf 07-23-2009 03:14 PM "Do so. I'm not too familiar with it." spirit_queen 07-23-2009 03:28 PM "Okay, we have to divide into two teams and draw a line. Each team has its own side. The ref and two players will start in the middle, similar to basketball. The ref will toss up the ball and the two players will try to hit it with their heads to their team's side." Mina began. "The object is to keep the ball in the air using your head, and each player has to count how many times they hit the ball with their head. If a side drops the ball, they get a... the best translation of the word is 'strike'. Five strikes and the team with the strikes is out." Mina paused to take a big breath. "BUT the winning side has to have had the side at least once. Oh, yeah! And every other player has to hit the ball tot h other side. For example, if Yuni and I were ont he same team, I could hit the ball to Yuni, but Yuni would have to hit the ball tot he other side. One person can boucne the ball off their head for three hits only." Mina smiled. "Any questions?" Silent_Wolf 07-23-2009 09:51 PM "..Mhmmm." Yuni blinked. Miranda_ 07-23-2009 11:29 PM "Sounds like a good way to get brain damage." Silent_Wolf 07-23-2009 11:30 PM "Naah, this thing's made of soft rubbery silicone stuff. See?" She threw it at the designated referee; it hit him on the head, and he fell over. "...Mmm, I think that was the weighted ball..." spirit_queen 07-27-2009 12:32 AM O.o "You mean you didn't check?" Silent_Wolf 07-27-2009 12:14 PM "They looked the same!" >_>; "And I can't tell weights apart. I mean, I don't really notice differences." Miranda_ 07-27-2009 07:01 PM "Better hope you didn't kill him." Silent_Wolf 07-27-2009 11:11 PM "I probably just concussed him. Foreheads are the thickest bones in your head, you know." Miranda_ 07-27-2009 11:16 PM "Not in my experience, they're not." Silent_Wolf 07-27-2009 11:22 PM "Well, sometimes they are. I knew a guy who shot himself in the head with a nailgun; the nail didn't go through his forehead. Tore the skin up, yeah, but didn't do a thing to the bone." O_o Miranda_ 07-27-2009 11:30 PM "Sounds like an idiot, to me." Silent_Wolf 07-27-2009 11:33 PM "A lucky one." spirit_queen 07-27-2009 11:49 PM "...diego, will you go find the other ball, please? I dun think we want to make that particular mistake again." O.o Miranda_ 07-28-2009 12:02 AM "Why can't you go and find it? I'm comfortable here." |
