<> <> <> (Which going to Venus has NOTHING to do with!) <> <> <> * Demetreia sits by a window, looking out. Haha! (Note - you are actually in Leo's ship, not the skimmer.) ( What? No windows in the ship? ) * Vera smokes. (Yes, there are windows. I'd hope.) (There have to be. ^^;) ( NO WINDOWS EVER ) (I mean, if there aren't windows, people go CARZY.) (This is, like, a 4 day trip, isn't it?) (It was.) * Leopoldo is piloting. And stuff. * Rochelle is near Demetreia, getting fingerprints on the window and rubbing Vwoof's back as she does so. She's also looking much better, since over the week the peeling's stopped. * Threnody is writing on a piece of paper and sipping tea. Closer inspection by passersby reveals it to be a crossword puzzle. <> * Katherine is just sitting there reading. She's been burning through, well, in the reading sense, a number of books. * Rochelle puts her forehead against the window. <> * Leopoldo nods and conveys the appropriate information. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rochelle (2d6-2) and gets 9. (DR1) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rochelle (2d6-2) and gets 2. <> * Katherine flips another page, her ears twitching. "Must be almost there?" Yup. * Leopoldo takes the ship in the direction directed, following standard docking procedure. I sure hope so. * Rochelle pulls her forehead from the window and looks down at Vwoof. * Rochelle gives him a vigorous rub. ( IN THE FACE AHAHAHA ) (...freak.) <> ( Hey, when I said I was hyperdamntired, I *mean* I'm hyperdamntired. I'm >this< close to losing the actual ability to type words. ) (You're just lucky this session is ubershort.) * Rochelle frowns a little and glances out the window again. ( Whoo! ) ( 'S not just that, I have to write a 5-page paper so I actually *can't* go to sleep after this. Otherwise I wouldn't mind 'cause I could just schlep back off. ) * Threnody blinks at the crossword, then shrugs, pencils in a clue, and looks up and out the windows. "Hopefully, this visit won't get cut abruptly short." What do ya mean? <> * Threnody picks up his pencil. "Last time I came here a bounty hunter chased me off twenty minutes after disembarking." * Demetreia blinks. "That was not very nice of him." (...*kicks Enzo out* Greedy boy! Not your night! ) * Katherine nods slightly, stuffs the book in a bag, and stands to collect Echidna, putting her on top of one of her flat pieces of luggage. * Leopoldo nods, and speaks in perfect Spacer. "Should be short, it's just a pickup." * Threnody shrugs and pencils in another clue. "Maybe not. He was just doing his job. It was kind of a shame to have to break his fingers." <> <> * Rochelle shrugs. "You can fix broken fingers." * Rochelle lets Vwoof snooze. * Leopoldo gets up. "Ouch. Still, better him than you, right?" He heads to the door after grabbing a small backpack. * Threnody sips his tea and nods. "That is in fact what I told myself. I gave him plenty of warning beforehand. I try to, usually. Money makes people do stupid things." (Just wondering... What *is* Ian doing right now?) (sleeping. His loss.) (Trying to cut through the ropes.) * Rochelle stands, stretching with a yawn. Yeah. Well, let's hope we don't run into any of those types. (Why didn't you use chains?) Don't feel too sorry for him. You've gotta expect some retaliation in that line of work. ( Why, what was his costume this time? Harry Houdini with no arms? ) (I play fair. Usually.) * Leopoldo opens the door after confirming the atmosphere outside is appropriate. "You guys comming?" ( See, when you say "chased me off", I think of big bad bounty hunter with a broom waving it at you and yelling "Damn kids!" ) * Threnody blinks and looks up. "Well, I don't feel bad for having to do it. I just wish it hadn't come to that." He stands up and stretches, glancing at Rochelle a bit, then at Kat, and then smiling at Leo. "After you, captain." * Demetreia looks up, gets up, and goes. * Katherine follows Leo out, laying the bag Eck is on against a wall and carrying a completely different little bag out before doing so. She's in a standard black midriff-showing top and low-cut jeans, and simple boots. * Vera gets up and follows. * Fitzroy follows. * Leopoldo smiles. "First time I heard someone call me that. 'Captian Leo'." He heads out of the ship, chuckling to himself. <> * Leopoldo goes to.. THE ELEVATOR! * Rochelle checks to make sure Vwoof is taken care of, then wanders out. * Leopoldo makes sure he locks up his ship first, though. <.< <> ( What car company started that? I need to kill everyone who's ever worked for them. ) <> * Leopoldo blinks. "Never done that before. Maybe letting Sig-Asp mess around with it a little was a bad idea." He shrugs and goes into the elevator. * Fitzroy 'vatorizes. "Where are we headed again?" * Katherine chuckles, saying to herself. "Always a bad idea, Leo." * Rochelle scratches near her ear and looks around as she keeps following. * Leopoldo checks his datapad for the location to pick up the goods. "Let me check." * Threnody grins. "I don't know. The Brick was a surprisingly reliable ship, if I hear tell correctly." <> ( OH NO WHERE WILL IT END ) (...urgh. Perhaps a drink will make me sane. *fetches one* ) <> * Rochelle watches them run by. "Okay." * Threnody winces as he looks around. "...maybe last time I was here I was a little blinded by the majesty of the Venutian atmosphere." Leaden pause. "Maybe." * Leopoldo watches them past. "And that is why I charge extra for deliveries from Avalon... Not like many ask for stuff from here anyways." It was only twenty minutes. * Demetreia looks around curiously. "Where is our objective?" Alright, we need to go to... Sector A, division Q, Compartment 23, Room C. To get supplies. ( First one to say supply depot DIES. ) Alphabet soup. (depot) It was only twenty minutes. I spent five of those in combat, too. (Fire attack?) * Katherine glances around carefully. <> (*fire attacks Leo*) Supply depot, eh? Hope it doesn't catch fire. (...*kills everyone* ) (Vera is mauled by a rampaging cow) (YAY! *dies*) (Woot! *dies*) And... Oh boy, this might take a while. * Demetreia looks at the un-signs. "Oh, dear." * Rochelle looks at Roy. He's has this habit of getting maps in his head. <> * Katherine smirks slightly. * Leopoldo glances at Roy. "Any clues?" * Fitzroy hmms * Fitzroy "Looks like it's to the right".. he points. * Threnody blinks and holds his head a moment, then shakes it off and follows Roy's pointing. * Leopoldo goes to the right, then. "Just tell us where to go." * Rochelle ambles along. Nice scenery. It's about 30 modules away. Just follow me then. * Fitzroy starts off to the right. <> * Leopoldo nods and follows! * Demetreia follows without nodding! * Vera follows. * Threnody walks, and looks uncharacteristically paranoid, glancing around every few paces. "I think I set myself up for a headache." * Katherine follows, staying fairly close to Thren. * Leopoldo talks to Threnody. "So, let me get this straight. ATC is ru- why's that?" * Threnody smiles, a little wearily. "Mentioning my last trip. Sort of like the old saying, 'they come when called'?" Oh. Yeah, I can see what you mean. You've got a posse now, though. Posse can have such a negative connotation, though. * Katherine licks her lips. "How about, 'Bunch of people nearby that you'll have a hard time getting through?' Longer, but accurate." Much more accurate. That sounds about right. * Threnody sighs and closes his eyes a moment. "IF it happens, all I ask is you let me handle it. I promise nothing bad will happen to any of you because of me." Go for it. <> <> (You see, what isn't understood to me, is why these people don't get enough duct tape to fix their hull breaches.) * Leopoldo shrugs. "If you really want to. But I don't think they'd want to use guns here. I doubt the hull is very bulletproof." * Vera jerks a thumb at it. "This the place?" <> I... Guess? * Leopoldo knocks on the door. <> "What's the password?" * Rochelle rolls her eyes. * Leopoldo mutters something under his breath, then says "The Scampi Prawns sent me." * Demetreia blinks. <> * Threnody blinks. "...how personable." * Leopoldo takes the package and doesn't even blink. "Nice day to you too." he tries to get in before the door slams. "Well, here it is. Let's get going, shall we?" * Katherine smirks. "Certaintly an interesting looking 24." * Rochelle looks at the package for a moment, then nods. "Yeah." * Leopoldo looks over to Roy. "I don't suppose you know how to get back, do you?" * Threnody looks at Kat. "How could you tell he was a 24?" Sure. Is that all we came for? I don't see what else we would come for. * Katherine rolls her eyes. "Everyone's a 24 until proven otherwise. What else would he be? A guy who really wanted to look like a gorilla?" <> * Threnody says, without batting an eye, "He could be Russian." Pause. "What was *that*?" * Demetreia jumps, spooked. <> * Leopoldo nods, then looks back quickly. * Vera gives Thren a look, but before she can say anything, that happens. She draws her pistol instead. "Now what?!" * Katherine turns and says flatly. "A dead man." <> <>
