Calexico: A smuggler's island, a place of last resort for some, and a place of new beginnings for others.

Zuninya Utonygye was definitely in the 'last resort' category now. Half her supply stolen, the other half waterlogged, the Irathient's boat limped into the harbor. The crew, which consisted now only of an additional unhappy Irathient and a Sensoth, was down both of their gunslingers after the fight. Really, Zuninya should be glad the three of them escaped with their lives, but all her mind went to was the wasted goods and how it would be months, a year maybe, before they could establish themselves up again.

Then, as soon as the boat landed, her Irathient friend picked up a bag full of supplies. "Hey!" Zun shouted, reaching for him, but he picked up their last gun, too, pointed it at her.

"I'm getting out of here," he snapped. "You stay  where you are, Zun."

"Get the hell back in the boat, you piece of shtako," she snarled, all her muscles tense. She was really not in the mood for insubordination.

"I'm done taking the loss," her crewman said, stepping off the boat onto the dock. 

"I can't rebuild this without you," Zun growled, her voice low.

"I'm taking your gun and your stuff," he said. "Good luck with that. I hope Ashina doens't cut your throat next time she sees you. So long." And then he hopped off and he was gone, somewhere into the heart of Calexico.

Zuninya jumped up onto the dock and kicked her boat furiously, cussing in three different languages. Her Sensoth, a sensitive guy, only wept silently, watching her. After a while, she wore herself out, panting, pushing red braids back from her face. "Oh, get out, you great lump," she said. "Let's go get wasted at the need-want." Gyakusa, god of passion and revelry, owed them that much, at least.
