Starpath: Scoundrels of the Interstellar Highway - Thread 2 - Games

While walking alongside with Valk, Jason thought up some questions for her "So when did you join the crew?"

[I]"Tell Mr. Frosty it is [B]urgent [/B]that he meets me in my cabin, or his if he prefers."[/I] Next stop: Mess Hall. [I]"Mr. Frosty, are you in here?"[/I] he asked.

When Moloch left, Markus spun around and looked at Amelia " 'Ho the fuck was that an' 'ow come you sound like ya don' think there's anything dodgy bout that bloke?"

Amy watched as Moloch entered and left the Medbay. His attire reminded her of the old stories she read while growing up with the Creed. "The Hell was that? Did we pick up some cultist on the way?" [QUOTE]Everything looks good on you, and Valk, wherever she is killing someone like you said. Any uneasiness, tension, lust for blood?[/QUOTE] "She's a space pirate. Probably someone owes her money and she just realized it." --- [QUOTE]Mr. Frosty, are you in here?[/QUOTE] Alex could be heard from the kitchen "He's not there nor is he in the kitchen."

[quote]" 'Ho the fuck was that an' 'ow come you sound like ya don' think there's anything dodgy bout that bloke?"[/quote] Amelia blankly stares trying to figure out how to translate Markus' speech impediment, "I... haven't seen him done anything wrong? What's bad about him?"

[QUOTE]"So when did you join the crew?"[/QUOTE] She glanced back at him. "About a week or two ago, I think. Haven't really kept track of the days." she said, before freezing when she looked back around. There was a man standing in the Mess Hall who was VERY familiar to her. The one she had remembered when she had looked at the emblems and such in Frosty's fighter. The pyromancer she fought before. Why the fuck was [B][I]HE[/I][/B] here? She stopped and watched him, noticing he was looking for something. Or someone. She wondered if he recognized her just as she did him.

[quote]"She's a space pirate. Probably someone owes her money and she just realized it."[/quote] Amelia blankly stares at Amy, shaking her head, "Don't be rude."

[I]"Chef, I would very much appreciate if you would tell Mr. Frosty it is urgent he sees me as soon as possible."[/I] Next stop: Cargo Bay.

[QUOTE]Don't be rude.[/QUOTE] "Honey, I spend years working with shit wearing people suits. I think I can make calls like that and be right." She said with hands on her hips.

[quote]"[b]Honey[/b], I spend years working with shit wearing people suits. I think I can make calls like that and be right." [/quote] Amelia bursts flames out of her eyes as soon as Amy calls her 'honey', "Don't call me that, please. Everyone is different, just because you spent your days with jerks doesn't mean you get the right to look down upon others."

Markus frowned when Amy spoke of Valkyrie, another pirate, with such words. However he wasn't in the mood to care at the moment. There were bigger fish to fry. He turned towards Mercy, "Whatta ya think, Doc. That clutist fella up to anythin good?"

Maddox entered the bar and sat down next to Taylor. "What do I need to do for you to forgive me?" He stared at her with a blank expression however if Taylor looked closely she could see a hint of worry in his eyes.

[quote]"Whatta ya think, Doc. That cultist fella up to anythin good?"[/quote] "Well, a cultist, and an almost demonic one at zhat?" Mercy chuckles a bit grimly, "Non. He is most certainly not up to anyzhink good."

Valkyrie watched Moloch walk by, not paying attention to her. Maybe he doesn't remember her? Still, she didn't like the fuck, looking like something that crawled out of the depths of deep space. She watched him depart, then looked at Jason. "Lost my appetite. I'll eat something later." she muttered, walking by him and out of the mess hall. She walked through the ship, heading back to the medbay. Maybe the others had gathered there? Not many had been outside the ship, and even less in the other parts. She arrived outside the door to see a few of them inside. "How's our burn victim?" said Valk, as she stepped in.

Bucky lights up when she sees Valkyrie exit the mess hall. She hurries over and beams at Valk, holding her arms out for a hug. "Welcome back, Valk!" Bucky exclaims joyfully. She's her happy bubbly self, though she does have a few more singe marks and scrapes than the last time Valkyrie saw her. ----------------------------- Hariim sends Valkyrie the information he's compiled to her. The packet contains several digital tomes of knowledge, the first is a condensed history of cyborg life in the galaxy. The next is a basic code of ethics regarding the use of a wide variety of implants, though Hariim has gone through the trouble of highlighting for Valkyrie those sections dealing with cranial implants like hers. The final tome is a bit more odd. It makes references to a "community", a decentralized amorphous "Culture" that spans and underpins much of human space, and even beyond. Whatever the Culture is, Hariim has just provided Valkyrie with a sort of primer to get Valkyrie started with this new stage of her life. The question is whether or not she'll listen to what he has to say.

[QUOTE]Don't call me that, please. Everyone is different, just because you spent your days with jerks doesn't mean you get the right to look down upon others.[/QUOTE] The sudden outburst caught Amy by surprise. "Alright. Sorry. Calm down." [QUOTE]How's our burn victim?[/QUOTE] "Alright lets solve this. I'm alive and well Valk, why were you yelling earlyer?" She turned her head to face Valk. Her expression turned to one of surprise. "Actually, I think I can figure out why. What happened to you?"

[QUOTE]"Alright lets solve this. I'm alive and well Valk, why were you yelling earlier?...Actually, I think I can figure out why. What happened to you?"[/QUOTE] "I took an RPG detonation to the back of the head." said Valk simply, shrugging a bit. "Apparently they patched me up and added in some hardware or something to fix me." She pointed to the shaved side of her head. "Guess I'm a cyborg now." [QUOTE]"Welcome back, Valk!"[/QUOTE] Valkyrie looked back to see Bucky, looking pretty excited to see her with her arms open for a hug. Valk opened her arms up a bit, hands still in pockets, so that Bucky could hug her.

Bucky takes the opening and bear-hugs Valk to the best of her ability. "It's good to see you up and around, Valk. You're not going to believe the shit we had to pull to stay alive while you were out!" After a few moments, or when Valk decides the hug is over (whichever comes first), Bucky lets go. She still beams at Valkyrie. "For a while there I was worried that you might have finally found something you couldn't just force your stubborn way through. I didn't know who I was supposed to get Tattoos from if you didn't wake up!"

Amelia walks up to Valkyrie, studying her body, moving around her, "Any feelings of uneasiness, tension, lust to kill? Feeling anything strange in your feet or nose?" she asks.

Wish I had been here for it all, but I was sorta dead at the time." she said. "But death can't contain me, especially with people like Abraxas around." [QUOTE]"Any feelings of uneasiness, tension, lust to kill? Feeling anything strange in your feet or nose?"[/QUOTE] Valk looked over at Amelia, making [URL="http://emoji-38d7.kxcdn.com/share/1f60f.png"]this[/URL] face. "I'm a pirate. Those first three things are natural. But all I have is a migraine."

Bucky makes a face at Amelia, then turns her attention back to Valkyrie. "Well, seeing as you've got a few new [I]parts[/I], you should come see me for a tune up some time." Bucky offers. "I'll be working my hands down to the servo-motor around here, so don't hesitate at all to give me a call. I could use a break from this job."

[quote]"I'm a pirate. Those first three things are natural. But all I have is a migraine."[/quote] "Great, looks like nothing's changed." Amelia pats Valk's back, "I'll be in my room," she salutes, walking out of the med bay and walks in her room. She relaxes on a beanbag, turns on the tv, and starts watching that one anime show she's missed three episodes of.

"Alright what's with everyone crowding around here?" Alex said as he walked in through the door. "Oh Valk. You're alive and look different. You do something with your hair?" "Really? You go with the fucking hair joke?" Alex turned his attention to his sister. "Well, I would say that to you, but it would be insensitive given your current condition." "Oh now you are sensitive and care about people? Where were you up untill now?" "Doing my job on the ship. Besides you have qualified medics looking over you. Why do you need me around?" "Given how much money you send me while we were separated and the things you did to get said money, I'd figure you'd be more protective." "If I had known you were so good at looking out after yourself and running with a mercenary organization, I wouldnt have bothered." With each exchange both were getting closer to each other step by step untill they were face to face. The serious expressions turned to smilles and laughter as they embraced in a hug. "It's so good to know you're still alive and walking around, you dont even know." "Trust me I think I can get the idea." The both let go of the hug as Alex looks around. "So how are you doing Valk?"

Several of the boxes Moloch had carefully placed were now shuffled around. He knew Frosty was in here somewhere. Quietly approaching them, he moved several of them away to unveil Frosty's tired face staring at the ground. [I]"There you are."[/I] Moloch took a knee before him. [I]"Future events may not appear to be in your favor, but understand that things... they [B]will [/B]get better. I promise you this." [/I] "...Shut up." Frosty didn't even move when he responded. [I]"Mr. Frosty, you understand I-"[/I] "[I]SHUT UP![/I]... What do you want?" [I]"What I want is what is best for you, Mr. Frosty. You know this."[/I] Frosty stared dead straight into Moloch's eyes. "Then, leave me alone if you really want what's best for me." [I]"... I also happen to want what is best for our people, and [B]you [/B]are one of our people."[/I] "No. I am not." Moloch removed his crown and pulled up his hood, revealing his face to Frosty. "Look at me, Mr. Frosty." Frosty turned away. "Mr. Frosty. Look at me." "Go away." came the response. Moloch put a hand on Frosty's shoulder. "Come now, that's no way to-" Frosty swatted his hand off and headbutted Moloch right in the nose, causing him to fall over. He scowled heavily at Frosty. [I][B]"You ungrateful bastard."[/B][/I] Frosty pulled out a small spare pipe from one of the nearby boxes and swung it at him with all the force he could muster. He missed, however, due to being blind with anger. Moloch quickly tackled him and slammed him against a wall, while managing to put Frosty in a sleeper hold. [I]"Listen to me, Mr. Frosty! LISTEN TO ME! You can trust me! I lead our people, and your well-being is my responsibility! For God's sake, I brought you back to life and I even healed your face when Beherit had beaten it! And your memories are coming back and they will surely turn you mad if no one is there to help you make meaning of them!..."[/I] "..." [I]"Mr. Frosty, are you listening?"[/I] Apparently his hold was strong enough that it put Frosty straight into unconsciousness. Not wanting to just leave his friend's body there, Moloch hoisted his body over his shoulder and is making his way to Frosty's cabin.

Valk gave Bucky a thumbs up, then watched Amelia leave before looking around at Alex and Amy. [QUOTE]"So how are you doing Valk?"[/QUOTE] "Eh, fine really. Now I know what its like to get your skull perforated." she said with a chuckle. "Oh, and what its like to get blown the fuck up." - - - - - - - - [QUOTE]"What do I need to do for you to forgive me?"[/QUOTE] Taylor took another drink from her glass, sloshing the ice around afterwards, before looking over towards Maddox. She could see the look in his eyes. Worry. Damn, he's like a fucking puppy. "...Just...do your job, alright? Do your job, do it right, and come to me before you do anything drastic. If you do that, everything will go back to normal between us."

Bucky nods and turns away. She heads down to her quarters to get some things before beginning work in engineering. She notices Amelia is home and decides to see how she's doing. Bucky knocks on Amelia's door.

[quote]She notices Amelia is home and decides to see how she's doing. Bucky knocks on Amelia's door.[/quote] Amelia pauses her show, moaning that she has to pause it right at the good part. She walks to the door and opens. She wears a shirt that says オタク, "Oh, hiya Bucky, what's up!" she gleefully smiles, leaning on the door frame.

Bucky smiles back and greets Amelia: "こんにちは! Mind if I join you? I kinda want to put of getting to work..." She says with a little wiggle. "What're you watchin'?"

What're you watchin'?"[/quote] "神聖ながらくた! A fellow weeb on this ship? Come on in, friend. Watching Ace in Space right now, it was getting good." Amelia walks back into her room, waving her hand as to invite Bucky in.

Bucky sashays in and plops herself down on Amelia's beanbag. "Cool! I'm not exactly a weeb, just know every language that my makers preloaded into my memory. This'll be the first anime I've watched actually. But hey, new experiences~"
