"I keep telling you, I'm trying to warn you! Team Rocket is as bad as Cipher, maybe even worse!" Daniel Cross couldn't believe that this counted as law enforcement here in Orre. She had managed to track down the deputy and had spent the last nine minutes trying to tell the idiotic fool about Team Rocket. But he was refusing to listen, passing it off as just rumors. She looked helplessly at some of the passing townspeople who seemed to be ignoring the conversation. However, one of them was watching the conversation with great interest. He was standing at the entrance to the town. "I don't know what kind of criminals you have out here, but they can't be as bad as Team Rocket!"

The deputy gave her a sharp look. "You might want to rephrase that. A lot of people have had their Pokemon stolen by Cipher before we drove them out. No matter how bad this, "Team Rocket" is, they can't be worse than Cipher. I suggest you move along before I put you away for disturbing the peace." The deputy moved along without a second look and Daniel sat down on the stairs of an old building and resisted the urge to pull out her hair. No one was listening. She didn't even look up at the sound of someone approaching her. "Just go away." She muttered.

"I believe you." A male voice said quietly. Daniel looked up at the figure who was wearing black and orange clothes. He extended his hand towards Daniel who took it and rose to her feet. "The name is Cail. And I think you and I need to have a chat."

Cail took a deep breath. "I have friend all over Orre and even a friend who used to work for Cipher. More and more of these guys in the black suits are showing up nearly every day. A few of them told me that not only are people getting shaken down for money, but it looks like Cipher and this "Team Rocket" are fighting it out all over." Daniel's eyes narrowed for a moment. "Have any of your friends had their Pokemon stolen?"

"Not yet. But I have a feeling that that's gonna change real soon. C'mon, I think you need to talk to the man in charge around here. His name is Duking and he has experience with this kind of stuff." Cail pointed towards a building nearby.

I will post my second character in the IC later today.

Star Wars - Lawless Galaxy

“You’re an…interesting droid, aren’t you? You’ve got this certain look about you. You’re a combat model, right?”

ZD-6R turned his optical sensors to look at the Togruta and nodded his head in the affirmative. "Correct. ZD-6R at your service. Formally based off the IG series." The droid turned towards the Trandoshan who motioned at him to pick up the Weequay. "The trandoshan over here is Strakisssh and the Weequay who is about to pass out on the floor is known as Zirex. Despite his inability to handle his liquor, he is an extremely capable computer expert and droid repair technician. The three of us are all that is left."

The droid grabbed Zirex by the back of his shirt and lifted him up. The Weequay looked at the droid with a foolish smile on his face. "Hey, ZD, did you know there's another droid next to you?" The droid barely registered the comment. ""Of course there is." The Trandoshan turned to look at the Togruta and smiled a hopefully non intimidating smile. "Excuse me, do you know who we can talk to about finding a room for our idiot comrade to recover? This is our first time aboard paradise and we are still unfamiliar with where to go and who to talk to."

Star Wars - Lawless Galaxy

"Sure, fill it up."

Zirex grinned as the bartender handed him the container containing the drink. The thing was nearly the size of his head. He grabbed it with both hands and filled up the alien's mug before he leaned back and took a large gulp of the drink. The drink was made out of ten different layers of colored alcoholic liquid and in Zirex's opinion, it didn't disappoint. Once he finally put down the container, he couldn't help but notice two things. The first matter being that as he looked at his hands he coulnd't help but notice that they seemed a bit blurry to him. The second being that the nice alien he was sharing the drink with seemed to have an identical twin who was out of focus. Zirex smiled a somewhat idiotic smile and pointed at the drink and then at the two blurry aliens. "Whichever one of you two wants the rest of this can have it." he laughed as he fell off his seat and hit the ground with a thud.

ZD-6R who had taken his sensors off of Zirex for a moment to concentrate on the bounty offer aimed them back at Zirex after he heard a thud. For a moment, he thought a fight might have broken out but as he turned to check on Zirex, noticed that he was on the ground and laughing. If the droid could have sighed, he would have at that moment. "It appears that Zirex found a new beverage."

Strakisssh didn't turn away from the posted bounty. "Is he alive?"

"Yes."

"Is he awake?"

"Not for much longer from what my scanners are telling me."

The Trandoshan grabbed a credit chip and handed it the droid. "See if we can find him someplace to stay. I doubt we need him on this mission and I'd rather he be somewhere safe rather then becoming a target." ZD-6R's vocabulator made a sound very similar to a sigh of disapproval as he walked up to the bar. He turned to look at the alien Zirex had been sharing his drink with. "My friend and I apologize if our comrade bothered you in any way." The droid said as he motioned the bartender over.

Anyone else plan on posting?

Pokemon Colosseum: Lesser of Two Evils

Relatively soon. I'd prefer it if everyone was there within two posts.

Star Wars - Lawless Galaxy

Paradis

"Hey."

Zirex turned to look at the person who had spoken and was somewhat surprised. He had been so focused on drinking whatever he could get his hands on that he hadn't noticed that the sentient next to him was of a species he didn't recognize. At all. He grinned widely. "The name is Zirex, pleased to meet you." He answered cheerfully. He turned to the bartender as he finally arrived and held up his hand to get his attention. "A Walk in the Phelopean Forest if you don't mind." He said to the bartender who stared at him for a moment before speaking. "You are aware that particular drink is meant for four people? You are also aware of the price?" Zirex nodded and grinned at the bartender. "Yes. Yes I am. The bartender shook his head slightly and took Zirex's credit chip once the Weequay handed it to him. "A Walk in the Phelopean Forest, Forty nine credits." The bartender turned and began mixing the complicated drink. Zirex turned to the member of the unknown species before turning back to the drink that was being mixed. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw the size of the container. He turned back to look at Sirka and motioned at the drink. "Based on how big that container seems to be, I don't think I'll be able to finish this alone, any chance you want some?" Zirex hoped she would accept for two big reasons: The first being that if Strakisssh and ZD-6R found out he had blown nearly fifty credits on a drink for himself, he was most likely going to be docked pay the next time they had a job, the second reason being he was always looking to make new friends.

ZD-6R was still monitoring the holonet channels when an display caught his attention. "Strakisssh." He said quietly. "A bounty has caught my attention. I believe you may be interested." The lizard man turned to look at the droid. "Dead or alive?"

ZD-6R began to save the information to his memory banks as he lowered the volume of his voice. "Alive. The bounty has been posted by the New Republic. The target appears to be an Imperial War Criminal."

"Name and last know location?"

Imperial General Hadrex Nevrol. Wanted for the murder of two high ranking Rebel generals during the Galactic Civil War. Additional charges include, kidnapping, assault and nine other counts of murder. Last known location is Nar Shaddaa. Target is considered to be armed and extremely dangerous."

"How much is he worth?"

"Thirty thousand alive, Five hundred dead."

Strakisssh simply smiled. With thirty thousand credits they would be able to take care of a great deal of their problems. They could finally repair nearly all of their gear, repair some of the damage that ZD-6R had sustained during the massacre at their HQ and possibly even get their own ship.

You may start wherever you so wish as long as you end up in Pyrite town.

To all those who missed it, the IC is now up :p

Pokemon Colosseum: Lesser of Two Evils

Pyrite Town

- In other news, rumors of figures dressed in what appear to be suits favored by Cipher continue to trouble residents of Orre. Duking, the man in charge of the Pyrite Town Colosseum is warning Pokemon trainers to avoid traveling alone when traveling between towns in the event Cipher may be planning a return. We have also received reports of black suited men appearing near Phenac City, attempting to shake down travelers. Local law enforcement is looking into these reports. The ONBS will keep all citizens apprised of events as we get more reports. This is-"

Shawn sighed heavily and he picked up the remote and turned off the television. "Figures Cipher would show their ugly faces around here again, doesn't it?" He asked as he reached down and and scratched his Houndour's ears. The canine Pokemon looked up at him and whined inquisitively, as though it could sense it's owner's disgust towards Cipher. Shawn smiled slightly as he looked down at Houndour before turning to look at his Beldum which was hovering over the TV. Just the thought of Cipher was enough to get him angry, the thought of what Cipher would do to his Pokemon if they got their hands on them was enough to make him even angrier. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before standing up. "Well, it Cipher really is back, I guess it wouldn't hurt to head out to Duel Square and see if anyone heard anything about this other group. C'mon you two, time to get going." Houndour let out a yawn as he rose to his feet and followed Shawn out the door with his Beldum floating directly above him.
