Oliver: -to Suzu- Well, I literally just sold my soul to get an edge. I don't even know if I have one, but given what's going on, I probably do, and it was probably a bad idea to do so.
I just can't find it in me to care any more about whatever bad straits I get into.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Oliver: -to Ao and Aimi- Well, yeah. I understand that eventually we'll get a phone call to help out with something to repay this gift.
Honestly, like Suzu said, it's a way better deal than potentially getting possessed by some fifteen-foot pile of horns named Ba'alberith or something because you defaulted on your loan.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."-Suzu just kind of pats her wakizashi in response to Aimi as responce-
Foreman: Speaking of that.she has been loaded with 5 shells, fueled, and prepped.
Your going to have to give her a shakedown in the field, and you might want to start loading your supplies.
Luna: Full suite, I am currently Centerpoint's Lead Researcher.

Quartz: Well, most of the time, yes. But still, there could be some germ or anything of the sort my immune system was never meant to fight out there, which is why I usually sanitize everything I have when I move between worlds.
... That, or all these nights of studying and working finally caught up to me, and my body forced me to rest by hibernating >.>;
Suzu: The way to look at it is like this, we can either make a deal with Ao's family, and build relations and favor with a family of high standing....
Or we can offer our souls for collateral, which while I am willing to do.... it would be a great dishonor to not fix Andromeda with this opportunity posing itself.... the former seems to be the better option.
It provides a long term investment, and even at its most dire it won't be as... permanent.... and the plan to offer repayment when we collect the pallet should limit what can be asked of us as part of an initial brokerage.
Oliver: -to Aimi- Just to level with you, most of us are paranoid because our history so far has involved people jerking us around, or what seems like fate itself conspiring to make our lives miserable.
I'm not saying that you'll betray us because of that. I'm just hoping that helps explain things a bit. We've had to work for reprehensible people because the alternative was extrajudicial execution, and we have been betrayed by our employers on multiple separate occasions. Hazards of the trade, I suppose.
Personally, like I said, I just can't be arsed to care too much after all of this.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Asagi: Let me rebutt with this, Suzu.
...I goddamn hate her. And I know she goddamn hates me.
...Hell, I goddamn hate the idea of using my own soul as collateral.
For Apple's sake, I hate most of the organics and synthetics on this planet. I've had nothing but trouble despite the majority of my existence has been spent to trying to help others whether physically or psychologically, when all I get in return is nothing but shit. Either I give up my soul to a bunch of goddamn hell bankers who I'll never know for certain is ever going to keep their word, or I get bound into a vague promise to the dynasty of someone who has expressed not a single word of gratitude and in fact given every one of us nothing but contempt and disparagement, OR I let this whole planet of people get eaten by some smug as hell werewolf otherkin who think that being cultists who worship a giant pile of cosmic yarn is as cool as the latest t-shirt at hot topic.
Any way I look at it, we're fucked. We've been fucked since the beginning, and we're gonna be fucked over in the future, so you guys better just pick a patron or I am going to punch someone in the face. :|

We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Lovisia: ~looks at Suzu for a while, pondering~
"Hmmm..."
~she looks Aimi and Ao up and down~
"Is good reasoning. Am rescinding objection to business proposal."
Baru: "Can I just give you a list of stuff I need? I set up a lab at our penthouse back when I moved in but I am still lacking a lot of the bigger devices. Like a an Elric Distillery, a Flamellian Petrificator, and a Dragonflame Oven, among other things..."

Foreman: Its a military vessel, we literally pulled her off the assembly line, hull number C333, designation "Trinity"
The inside is quite spartan right now, but if you survive this mission though, then we can talk about modifications.
@Roy: .... Your asking if the ship that fires slugs the size of ships has storage space?
Your answer is "Yes, but you will be cutting into your ammunition capacity"
