We Are Our Avatars IX: Act V: The Sabotage of the Scandolous Saurian Scoundrels (Open)

[Drakmorg]

"For one, you're worth way more than this thing could be, and for two, I'm not a piece-of-shit criminal that can't hold down a regular job. So no deal."

As she spoke, Vicky reached out to grab Ross by his collar.

 

[Demonjazz]

Dace looked to everyone and then the people fighting. "... 100 credits for a ride out of here! Whatever currency you use here is fine too! The ship will probably even stay intact throughout the whole trip!"

 

[username sucks]

Tavish didn't even react to the rifle pointed at his chest. "I don't remember what ya said about yer robot. I jus' need some metal or somethin'."

 

[Demonjazz]

"I said that I'd blast off your head if you tried to touch my robot!"

 

[Kirke]

You stop your charge as you get up, realising that your target is more than prepared. Instead you flick your blaster to low power and raise it, taking a two-handed grip and firing a series of blasts at Ronin's centre of mass.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=a52a2a]"Hey, I'm a self-employed trader of valuable goods. I'd say that counts as a regular job."[/color] Ross said indignantly.

Riko began strumming her bass, causing purple wisps in the shape of the letter Z to start floating around the guitar.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Ronin jumped to the side, firing her own pistol as she flew threw the air. These would be aimed at Shara's legs.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"What do you mean by "trader"?"

 

[Kirke]

You throw yourself sideways, in the opposite direction of Ronin, but two bullets hit one of your legs. Despite this you do a roll and come to a stop crouching. You flick the blaster to full auto and lay down a hail of fire at your opponent, with a bit of spread to catch her if she tries to avoid them.

 

[Slenn]

"He's a smuggler, Samus, of valuable metals."

"We have enough information from you to know that you are a thief. What made you choose smuggling over a normal job? You knew you had nine lives to spare, so you decided to take one of the riskiest professions? I meant what I said by avoiding capture is easier than avoiding your karma."

 

[Drakmorg]

Vicky said nothing to reply to Ross, instead just holding onto his collar and swinging a straight punch at his face with her powerful mechanical left arm.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=a52a2a]"I'm not a smuggler, I'm a salesman. And it's not very risky. Dead people tend not to fight back, or call the police. I just sneak in, lift everything of value and sneak out."[/color] Ross explained to EMily. [color=a52a2a]"As for why I chose this job, I guess this sort of thing is just in my nature."[/color]
Ross took Victoria's punch, but the blow didn't seem to harm him in any way. [color=a52a2a]"What the fuck!?"[/color]

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"I was aware." Samus told EMily. "I was trying to get him to give details on his methodology, as he just now did."

 

[username sucks]

"Oh. Okay den. I still need more bombs." Tavish replied to Dace.

Tavish just now noticed the gunfight going on right behind him. "Go get 'em... what's yer name. Pilot... thing. Yeah!" Tavish shouted to Shara. Tavish cringed when he saw her get shot in the leg. "[sub]Oh, that looked like it hurt.[/sub] Come on lass, ya need ta hit her if ya want ta win!"

 

[Outisakanobody]

Ronin tried to roll to avoid the gunfire. When she was relatively out of the direct line of fire, she lay prone and fired at Shara, really just trying to get her to stop firing for a moment and take cover.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Riko finished playing, then swung her bass in Ronin's direction. The purple wisps flew at Ronin, and would make her feel incredibly drowsy, then put her to sleep.

 

[Slenn]

"Well, they don't expect to see a shapeshifting cat person because they never existed on this planet until you somehow arrived."

"And for the record, you deserve that hit for giving us a hard time."

 

[Demonjazz]

"I'm using all my supplies. Takes a lot of them to keep everything in shape on this ship."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=a52a2a]"I'm pretty sure the 'dead' thing is the primary factor in them not doing anything."[/color] Ross pointed out.

 

[Slenn]

"Mmmm... so you're a grave robber. That's right. You know there's still plenty of people who'll get annoyed because of that."
