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

[Outisakanobody]

"Sorry...so, you two are planing on leaving?" Faro asked, trying to act like he hadn't technically been eavesdropping.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus looked at Faro. "For a while."

 

[Random berk]

Joanna nodded. "I need to find some peace for a time. To get out of sight of the others. I cannot be comfortable around them like this, and if that... if I must be near Stone for much longer, I fear we may come to blows. If we go and find some work of Samus's trade, then it may help."

 

[Outisakanobody]

"...You mean bounty hunting right? Uh..." Faro stopped and looked between the two women. "You know, this world is probably pretty different from what you're both used to...Maybe I should come? I mean, I'm pretty familiar with everything, and bounty hunting would make...getting food easier, so..." he tailed off at the end, playing with the zipper of his jacket.

The sisters had scouted the base and found not sentient robots to be worried about and retired to the security of the ship. Sara was in the process of figuring out contacting Pauling again.

EMily and the others looked around for anyone to chat with.
"Hello? Who else is in the ship?" She called out.

 

[Random berk]

On hearing Faro's question, Joanna simply looked at Samus and shrugged questioningly. From just inside Samus's door, she heard EMily's voice and winced. She wondered how she had even noticed that they were there without a line of sight, and how EMily would react when she saw the rotting corpse that Joanna now resembled.

Previously:

"Hold that thought, Seras." Steve said suddenly, and gestured at a monitor showing the exterior view from the ship. "Looks like we've reached our destination.

<color=purple>"I'm going to head back outside." Gwen informed her sisters as she walked back outside. <color=purple>"I feel like that bounty store has shown up again."
The other sisters nodded in response as Gwen exited the ship.

She walked over to the door to the bounty store and knocked if necessary.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Fine by me." Samus told Faro.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"How polite. Come in," came a rather surprised, unfamiliar, female voice from inside the bounty store.

 

[Slenn]

Gwen opened the door and entered.

<color=purple>"Good.... you know I was going to say 'morning', or 'afternoon' or 'evening'. But I don't even know what time it is for you." She said, now glancing around at the various new bounties that were probably there.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"We don't really have a day-night cycle here." replied the woman behind the counter. Gwen's eyes would likely be drawn to the mouse ears on the woman's head.

As Gwen looked around, she would first see no sign of the group's bounties. Her attention may be drawn to a bounty sheet near her.

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"Well, Good Present Time then." She chuckled as she noticed the mouse ears. <color=purple>"You have ears unlike a human's but like a mouse's." She took a look at the bounty.

<color=purple>The bounty is in the UK but the reward is in US dollars?

EMily and the other sisters walked around the ship until they were able to find Joanna and Samus.

"Hello there. Joanna... you look troubled." She said, taking note of her appearance.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Okay...uh, I guess I'll go get ready. Don't leave without me." Faro said as he walked off to collect what he thought he would need.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Uh... yeah. Is this unusual where you're from?" the woman asked, pointing at her ears.

 

[Random berk]

"Troubled? You could say that, yes." Joanna replied, taken aback by EMily's complete lack of surprise at what had become of her. "Samus, Faro and I are going to part ways with you for a while, to pursue some of these bounties of Samus's. I... feel that I would be better off away from the sight of others for a time."

 

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"It is unusual, yes. It's kinda cute actually." She said while inspecting the document.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus watched Faro leave, then looked at Emily and co as they entered. She stayed quiet for now.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

The woman blushed a little. "Thanks." she said, a little surprised. "Do you need help with anything?"

 

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"You're most welcome. What's the nature of this bounty? The reward is in a currency that's not native to the country it was issued in."
