The Troperia - Armory

Blake turns from his position, still with mostly bare arms though he had a pair of googles on. A soldering iron in his hand and various equipment behind including a flask of bubbling equipment. "Oh I didn't realise anyone was still aboard." He says with a smile, putting the parts down and removing the goggles.

"It's Blake Banes, Rylan's older brother. I'm also the one who arranged the job your Captain plans to embark on. Regardless, it's nice to meet you mi'lady..?" He ends with a questioning tone, expecting a name, his demeanor friendly, jovial and somewhat exaggerated for a bit of lighthearted comedy. He may also be slightly tipsy from his business earlier, but that was barely noticeable.

"Neither did I, honestly.." She notices his bare arms and briefly wondered whether that was safe.

"Oh, uhm, I'm Ana. Nice to meet you."

They might also notice Karx, the one-eyed slug-thing with a lamprey-like mouth, which seems to be going around eating meat and grinding it with its jaw.

"NOM NOM OM NOM."

The Xir and their rivals are assembled in a circle, as Xirzan duel one of the space squids, using their selfie stick as impromptus weapons. They act as if they were fencing, and as if the sticks were boasting impressive power.

"STOP ! THIS ISN'T HOW YOU USE THEM !" says the marchand, in horror.

"You do not interrupt a man's fight !" declare one of the bigger Xir. "Even if one of them is a female."

The Whiskey Way

"Hah!" he says, laughing at the misfortune for poor Mr. Kitty, but glad for Nebris's progress"That's my girl. I'm so proud of you. You'll are going to have such a bright future." he smiles, beaming with pride.

"Troperia, you say..." Toraq says, his mind seem to be working. "...Say, Merrick. I have a proposition. Do your think your captain would mind having another doctor aboard? I don't expect to be allowed on for free, of course. I can offer payment in both credits and my medical and scientific services." he offers, now taking on a completely professional air.


Shard Marketplace

"Hmm...at the moment, nothing right now..." he answers, scratching his chin in thought. "Oh, wait, give me a minute. Forgot to do this earlier." he says before taking a breath and calmly shifting to his "human" colors. "Slipped my mind."

Alphyxi Emporium

"Huh?" Greg looks confused before he realizes the holes in the back. "What the hell...?"

"It's made that way on purpose." comes a voice from behind the counter, from a man dressed decked out completely in red, from his hair, all the way down to his shiny dress shoes. It allows for Alphyxi to summon their wings without damaging their outfit, of course. Our clothing may be fireproof, but not tear proof, I'm afraid. Comes with the delicateness of the materials." he answers politely.

Shard Starport - Alphyxi Emporium

Peter continues nibbling on his ice cream as he watches Greg. He takes notice of the man's peculiar appearance. "You don't happen to be an Alphyxi in hiding, are you?'

Shard Starport - Marketplace

"Do you shapeshift into aliens other than humans often? You seem to like that form. Not that I mind." Val says, taking a moment to examine Rakiri's new appearance. "So, you're a bounty hunter, huh? How did you operate before you met the others?"

Shard Starport - Peculiar Conjurations

Dominic takes out a credit card to pay for the items. He doesn't seem to surprised that some of the wares are magical, or that the cat is a familiar, though he does look somewhat interested. Presumably he's encountered magic before. That, or he's just really hard to faze.

The Troperia - Armory

Blake leans back a bit against the table, ideally adjusting the bunsen burner he was boiling the chemical crystals upon. Giving a polite look to the girl before him. "So if you don't mind my asking, why would you be traveling on this ship? If you have a reason i'v spent long enough just roaming." He says casually, picking up a small circuit board and attaching a small chip to it.

Peculiar Conjurations

"Oh you're just a little cutie aren'tcha? If I were a decade younger, maybe," says Terenia as she reaches forward (her arm stretching in a potentially unsettling way) to ruffle his hair. If she is successful, Rylan might note that her hand does not leave behind any sort of residue.

When he mentions the vest she flicks her hand in an upward motion and says "Ytal" in an authoritative tone, and the garment in question practically flings itself across the shop, landing on the counter next to them. After looking at the measurements and another muttered word and muted flash, she takes his payment and bags his items much like she did with Jiko, following up shortly after with the same treatment for Dom's items.

Before the group leaves, Terenia calls out to theml, "Come back any time guys! And if you happen to make it planetside on Marental, be sure to look up Aren Autumntide. Tell him Terry sent you!"

Shard Marketplace

Once outside, Jiko looks around for a second before turning to Rylan and Dom.

"So...back to the ship? Or do you guys have some other stuff to pick up?"

Alphyxi Emporium

The man chuckles lightly. "I'm afraid not, no. Alphyxi haven't been seen for almost 40 years, as I recall, which is rather unfortunate...I am quite interested in their culture. Which is half of the reason I decided to open this store of mine. While all of my pieces are authentic, there's nothing quite like Alphyxi craftsmanship itself. Even with all of my interest, that's not exactly something I can replicate..." he says, then pauses. "Ah, sorry, I did not mean to ramble on like that unwarranted. Please, forgive me." he quickly apologizes, with a quick bow.

''N-No need to say sorry, dude..." Greg quickly says. "I think it's great you're doing all this. I mean, with the Alphyxi being gone, I'm kinda glad I can experience at least...some part of them like this. So...thanks..." he says with an odd expression.


Shard Marketplace

Rakiri folds his arms. "Well, it depends on what I need to do. Most of my contracts require some sort of stealth, so as you can imagine, it was rather helpful for that. As for this body, it's more or less my chosen default. The human look and...er...more accurate body parts are a more recent thing." he explains, with a slight blush.

"As far as my time before joining the ship...let's just say I was not in the habit of talking to my targets before Jiko. I killed them without questioning the hows or whys. All I was concerned about the how much was offered. How much it would help the others." he answers. "Though...I guess I should say I've learned the important of asking specifics now..."

And meanwhile, Xirzan is being carried, triumphant, by a group of Xir.

"YYAAAYYYYYYYYYYY !"

Meanwhile, the alien looks at defeated selfie stick, and raise one tentacle in anger.

"WE SHALL MEET AGAIN ! But first, let me take a selfie."

Shard Marketplace

"I'm good to go back now if you are 'sweetheart.' " Rylan says in a teasing tone, all his stuff he had bought nowhere in sight, all sent to his haven for easy storage in a static-like blur that would be familiar to Jiko and Dom.

Rylan was in a pretty good mood thanks to the teasing finding himself being called a cutie, ironically amusing. That and something about Jiko and Dominic which he didn't realise was making him feel a lot more comfortable.

Shard Starport - Marketplace

"I... see. Val's relaxed expression becomes somewhat tense for a moment as he listens, as if being reminded of something. He quickly returns to normal, though. "We have both similarities and differences, then. A lot of mine call for either alive or otherwise, so I use non-lethal shots most of the time. I use stealth too, and not just from my sniper training."

Val demonstrates by putting his hand on a table. His skin tone almost perfectly mimics the pattern and coloration. If Rakiri isn't paying attention, it might well be invisible to him until he turns it back. "So what changed when you met him?

"I don't really have anything else I need to do here, so I'll be dropping this off back at the ship first. I guess I'll go sightseeing while waiting for the others to finish so we can start our mission." Dominic says to Jiko, walking back to the ship.

Shard Starport - Alphyxi Emporium

"Do you get a lot of customers here? And have you heard any rumors about Alphyxi sightings? Considering my boyfriend here is partly Alphyxi, they must've been around until at least roughly 20 years ago." Peter asks the man again.

Rakiri notices the expression change, but doesn't comment on it. He looked intrigued at the display of Val's camouflage. "Oh, wow. If I didn't know any better, it looked like your arm disappeared for a moment." He reaches out, to touch it just to make sure.

"As for Jiko, well...one big thing being that he's part Echirean as it turns out."


Alphyxi Emporium

The man looks appreciative at what Greg says and smiles. Then when Peter asks his question, he thinks for a moment. "...Hmm, now that you say that, I remember hearing something once. There was a traveler who had claimed seeing one about 20 years ago while exploring some ruins on their home planet. They weren't able to record any physical evidence of this unfortunately. Here, I'll send the story to you can look over it." he says and pulls out his communicator, sending the information to both Peter and Greg's devices. "I don't know if it will be any help, but...there you go."

"Thanks." Peter replies, finishing the rest of his ice cream. "Greg, what do you think?"

Shard Starport - Marketplace

Val's hand feels rather rough and metallic to the touch. "So, three Echireans in one ship containing about two dozen people... sounds rather crowded, doesn't it?"

Alphyxi Emporium

Greg snaps out of his apparent trance, and rubs at his eyes. "O-Oh, sorry. Yeah, sure, maybe it's something we can look into some time. I mean...if that's ok..."


Shard Marketplace

"In a sense. Though, having people of my kind kind about makes me feel a bit more...secure, I suppose." Rakiri answers. "So...what do you do with Mitch and Dominic's team, anyway? Do you have a specific role or something?"

"I'm sure it'll be fine. We'll have a couple more destinations on our list of places to visit." Peter says eagerly.

Shard Starport - Marketplace

"Well, I'm the primary pilot and medic in the team. I got my training back on Iriden. I'm also a pretty good sniper, so sometimes I do that too. It helps that I can basically make myself invisible."

"All right then, I'll probably do some looking around of my own. Just a little anyway," Jiko says, patting Rylan on the shoulder as he starts walking. After a second he turns back and calls to the youth.

"Don't steal any more hearts on your way back to ship, lady killer!" He laughs, amused with himself, before continuing on.

Shard Shoreline

Despite having already been here, Jiko can't help but try for one last good look at the ocean. Part of him also hoped he would find Lex here, but he knew she would already be gone. Maybe even back on the ship.

I hope she likes it, he thinks, looking out over the darkened waves with a hand in his pocket, lights of varying colors shining dimly below the surface.

The Whiskey Way

Cor smiles and bounces Nebris a little on his knee, "I'm proud of our little angel too. She takes after her papa." he says, smiling to Tor. There's a knock audible at the other side of the screen. "That'll be Aren, he said he'd come over to look some artifacts I found in the field the other day. It's not from a civilization I recognize and I figured, if anyone could help..." he shrugs, "Anyway, we'd better be going. Say bye to papa, Nebris."

"Aww... bye bye, papa, I love you..." she says, looking like she wants to reach through the screen and cling to Tor.

Cor holds Nebris close to his chest, "Don't worry, baby, I'm sure we'll get a chance to talk to him again tonight." he then looks to Tor, "Love you, babe."

Merrick nods happily at Tor's query, "Of course! I doubt if you'll have to pay, don't worry about that. Let's go see if we can find him."


Shard Shoreline

Lex sees a familiar silhouette standing on the coast as she makes her way back here to check for Jiko before returning to the ship. With a smile she quietly walks up behind him and wraps her hands around his waist, bending down to gently kiss the same spot pointed out to him by Terenia earlier, "Hey, handsome. How'd your hunt go?"

Alphyxi Emporium

Greg and Peter may notice Chris isn't in their line of sight.

Market

Indeed, he's not in the shop at all, instead wandering about, trying to find the perfect shop while nomming on his own praline ice cream cone.

Tor blushes slightly again and nods to Corvus. "Ah, I see. Well, tell him I said hello, will you? And share your findings with me next to." Smiling, he waves to Nebris. Bye bye, sweetie. I'll call again soon, ok? Keep being a good girl for me while I'm gone." Taking a moment to rub at one of his eyes, he looks at Corvus again. I love you both so much. Until next time." he says before he cuts the connection.

He looks at the blank screen for a moment before looking back to Merrick, finishing the rest of his drink. "That sounds like a plan to me. Let us go, then, if you are ready."


Shard Marketplace

:"Piloting, huh? I never could get the hang of that. But yeah, I've got medic training, too. Nothing too intensive mind you, but I can heal most general injuries well enough." Rakiri answers, looking down the street. "Say, you wanna head back towards the ship? You haven't seen it yet, I;m sure."


Alphyxi Emporium

"Thanks, Pete." Greg says with a smile before hugging him. He then takes the shirt he tried out, as well as a few more items and heads over to the counter. "How much do I owe you, dude?" he asks, going for his credit stick.

"180 credits."

"Really? For all this? And it;s kinda specialized..."

The man simply shakes his head, smiling. "Consider it a discount for a friend. And, if you do happen to discover anything about the Alphyxi..."

"You'll be one of the first to know, promise. Thanks, I really appreciate this." Greg says with a grin and pays for his merchandise.

Jiko is a bit startled by Lex's sudden appearance, but sighs happily once he realizes it's her and leans back. He raises the bag in his hand in response to her question.

"It went better than I expected actually. Got a whole bunch of clothes and...something else."

The Troperia, Armory

Blake nods to Ana. "Simple enough, we don't all need grant goals and money can be important." He says accepting the answer, tinkering slightly more with the circuit board, attaching a screen to the electronics.

Clearly he has quite the proficiency and understanding behind what he is doing and speed despite it only being done casually. "So tell me, the upcoming mission might be quite dangerous. Feel you will be taking part or just staying aboard the ship?" He says trying to judge her reaction but not giving a expected bias either way, not expecting her to fight but again he is used to surprises.

The Troperia

Matt-Rylan returns to the ship with a tired look, his facades breaking down and being quite tired from overly exerting himself during his breakdown. Yet he was still determined and things to do as he boarded again, going to check the Medbay to find not finding Merrick, and the bridge and not seeing Michael.... Who was still definitely asleep.

Rylan discouraged by the fact nobody was a.... -yawn- was round returns to his room rather tired and since nobody he wanted was ar... -yawn- maybe he could just get some rest for now and give them the stuff later.
