It was a lovely day on a familiar planet.  Not that she had ever been to this place before. Simply she was accustomed to the bright sun bouncing even brighter off of the sand.  And to the heat that pressed down on the people in the grand market.  Ailita wore her usual grey mechanic's jumper, a giant sun hat, and a pair of thick sunglasses to protect her eyes from the glare.  Batto had moved himself so his head rested upon her chest, able to get some glimpse of the heat.  She had bought a fruit candy, something similar to a sucker made of some sort of cactus.  It was sweet and tangy.

[i]"Ssssssun bathhhheeee,"[/i] said a silky voice.  It belonged to Batto as he whispered his desire in her brains.

[b]"Don't be silly, the day is too.... day like, to do any of that.  I'd burn to a crisp,"[/b] she replied around her treat.

[i]"Waaaaarmthhhhh,"[/i] he hissed.

[b]"Deeeaaaaath,"[/b] she countered.

[i]"Meeeeanie."[/i]

[b]"No you."[/b]

Her callused fingers kept hold of the stem as she enjoyed her flavoured treat. It seemed a day of celebration.  Beautiful voices filled the air with tribal song.  Even though she did not know it, she found herself humming along poorly.  Shopkeeps called to her to buy her wares.  She had not much money and so was looking to provide her own services.  This planet had plenty of ships she could make a quick buck or two off of.  Unfortunately, her dreams of playing with engines died as the sounds of threat replaced the song.

She could hear blade and gun slice through bodies.  It was a sound with which she was familiar.  Quickly she ducked behind the nearest stall as people began to run.  What was causing such commotion?  She peeped over the edge of the stall, eyes searching out the attackers.

Reavers.

She scowled and spit out her delectable treat.  Jerks.  Batto tutted his annoyance and slithered up the back of her skull, feathery marks forming around her face as tribal designs danced around her eyes as if she wore a moving mask.  One of her arms turned completely black, glowing with cracks of light pink energy.  The other formed itself into a dark grey short sword attached to her elbow.  At her neck buzzing and flittering designs curled and danced causing her flesh to imperceptibly harden.

Ailita stood from her position behind the stall as the worried shopkeep watched her.  [b]"Run,"[/b] she whispered to him as she found herself in the frey.  She lifted her blackened arm and a beam of energy released, cutting through the reavers like a laser of doom.  She had made herself well known now.  She was being shot at.  The energy blasts hit her and rainbows of color flashed as they absorbed the energy to place it back into the arm.  With each shot, the cracks of pink grew brighter.

She walked toward them, a grim expression on her face.  Normally she would have qualms about killing, though Batto thrilled on it.  The Reavers were a different story all together.  She blasted and cut her way through her enemies, helping the fleeing masses to escape.  Eventually, she found herself with a group of mercenaries and a white-haired man. [b] "Afternoon,"[/b] she greeted what appeared to be the head mercenary.  [b]"Care for some help?" [/b] Before she could receive an answer she felt a knife in her back.  It was thrown, a cleverer Reaver than the rest.  He had tossed it since the plasma bullets didn't work.  The knife penetrated her armor a bit, drawing red hot blood from her flesh and staining her greys. With a frown, she turned and blasted the bastard into dust.  [b]"Fucker,"[/b] she mumbled.  [b]"Now I gotta get a new jumper.  That costs money,"[/b] she yelled at the non-existent body.

[i]"Beeee more caaaarefuuul,"[/i] Batto growled as he pushed the dagger out of her back.  It clunked mutedly into the sand.  Bright dancing rainbow lights gathered around the opening and shining through the tear in her greys.

[b]"Hey now, it's not like I asked him to," [/b]she responded bitterly.


[hider=Summary]
Ailita is having fun in the sun.  But all of that changed when the Reavers attacked.  She blasts and cuts her way through to the most put together group only to get hit with a knife.  She bleeds. No one makes Ailita bleed her own blood.  So she blasts the reaver to smithereens.  Complains about having to buy a new jumpsuit.
