ArthanusLater that day, the cries of drunkards kept Quallyss from his work, and he would periodically yell out the window at them, asking them to keep it down (athough a lot more 'colorful' language was used). He was not in a good mood. He had been showing off Tick Tock to his peers, when it suddenly was over at a florist's store, buying a large wedding bouquet. After five minutes of frustrated negotiation with the seller, Quallyss was unable to convince her to take them back, and so was required to pay 20 gold pieces for them. While Tick Tock had looked very pleased with itself, Quallyss was less than amused, and had frowned all the way back to his manor.
It was while Quallyss was marking assignments, when he heard the knock upon his door. Quallyss was now very mad at the constant interruptions to his afternoon, as well as frustrated at his lazy students who, in all respects, actually worked really hard. Quallyss simply hated students. He stomped over to the door, and swung it open, startling the courier.
"Yes, yes, what is it now!?"
The T.A.C. operative was now nervous, as she had no idea what she'd done to anger the Cathian before her. She looked down, and moved from foot to foot uneasily. Uh... you, um, have a letter. From T.A.C." Quallyss humphed, and snatched the letter out of her hand, and began to walk inside. The operative was curious, and spoke up again. "Uh, don't you have any questio-"
Quallyss was now at his wit's end. "Fine, dammit... Here. NOW GET OUT!" He had mistaken the lady for a regular courier (he had barely listened to what she had to say) and threw two silver pieces at her. She put her hands up to protect herself from the flying currency, and had the door slammed in her face. Quallyss sat down again, just as Tick Tock arrived, carrying a tea tray with crumpets and wearing a floral apron. Quallyss took a crumpet and his tea, took a bite and a sip, and read the letter.
He finished it, and a smile crossed his face, before he let out a loud chortle and broke into gleeful rejoice. Tick Tock was startled by this, as it was running it's metallic fingers through the flowers of the bouquet admiring it some more, and nearly dropped the tray. It looked at it's master quizzically, head cocked to one side.
"Ah, Tick Tock, this is exactly what I need! A holiday! Quickly, run a message to the Guild and tell them I'll be away on business. Then pack my things, we're going on an adventure, HO HO!"

Bio
So, a bit about me then:
First and foremost, I love to try and create imaginative and creative scenarios, that (I hope) push the very limits of reason and conventional thought. When I RP (mostly in NRPs) I aim to play powerful and big, things that are on the very edge of OP (I usually give my faction a ridiculous disadvantage though, to keep it fair). In other RPs, I tend towards Science Fiction and Modern Fantasy, playing side characters with some interesting quirks to them. I am also keen on trying some Arena RPing, when I get better at writing.
Other things about me are that I work as a Mental Health Nurse (who would've guessed), and enjoy gaming and drawing as well. I also play trumpet on the side. I have a rough schedule, so I disappear for a couple of days sometimes. But never assume I am dropping out, I will tell you if I am thinking of it (unless it's really serious).

I think everyone bar Fell has posted a response. So, do we wait or maybe he sneaks onto the mission?
Oh no, not the robot.
Unfortunately, it had tracked them down, and was now sitting at the table. Kintya felt greatly unsettled by this, but heard the robot explain the situation. It had been slinking around, and overheard them, apparently. Kintya was about to leave, but it spoke up, and pointed out some very true facts and outcomes. As much as she didn't like machines, it had a point, and with it's impressive fire power at their side, the mission would go a lot smoother, albeit it won't be a stealth one anymore. She mulled over her drink, and spoke up:
"Well, you do have a point there. And we can always use a walking death machine. We're meeting at this address tomorrow, although I think you and I should meet up beforehand. Just so we don't scare the living shit out of Silus when you walk up. This mission is looking less profitable now, but still worth a shot. So, we'll see you there, Jax...." Kintya wrote down the address to meet her at, before turning to Temujin, holding up her shot. "Let's drink to the robot, for being utterly terrifying!"

I just posted too. She is having problems, but they're subtle enough that no one has to bring attention to it right now. I'll leave it up to the others ^^
Noki stood at the side of the room, anxious to start looking for Deef, but they were right: It would be far too dangerous and irresponsible for her to go out and endanger these people. Besides, it was very likely that Rectja was now targeting those from The Merchant Fleet, and perhaps called a bounty on their own ship. Whatever the reason, it seemed like she, too, was being hunted.
Looking around the room, Noki noted the emotions she could feel from the various people and beings around her. Tal was scared, though you didn't need to tap into The Harmony to notice that. Others were optimistic, discussing and working through many possible plans of getting off world. The bizarre many voiced being called Oradis was not actually asleep, but was drawing up it's own plans in it's mind. Noki did not like someone who was constantly deceiving those around them, which was a popular instance on this planet. The large human, Zuzen, was different to all the others in the room. He burned with rage at the mere mention of Rectja's name, so harsh and instant it was, that it felt like a fire to Noki. Obviously, they had much unfinished business between each other.
It was then that Noki felt a piercing pain shoot up her side, where she had been shot by the local 'Law Enforcement Agents'. She looked down at the wound, and saw it was still healed from Vash's suit, when he'd saved her life earlier that day. Why then, does it hurt? Surely it should at least- Noki leaned against the wall, and placed her hand on her side, covering her mouth with the other. She coughed loudly for a time in an uncontrollable fit, as the pain started to get worse, and she winced as it surged through her again. She brought her hand away, and saw yellowish blood on her hand. A look of horror swept Noki's face for a brief second, before she quickly wiped her mouth and hand clean, and brought her attention back to the group, regaining her composure and doing her best to hide the pain that swept through her.

^Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe a glancing wound through the side?

Hey Kyelin, would you have an issue with Noki being more injured than originally thought? It'd give us a good reason to go and visit my new character. And the Doc is gonna inform the group about something fairly important.I mean, it can wait a little bit. But soon probably.
Ok, I can retcon it so that she was shot through the chest, and bleeding internally. Should I post it now?
You could make an NPC, if you like. Or a 2nd character, it's all good :P
I've responded, so next spot is up for grabs :D
Kintya smiled as her companions accepted the drinks, and poured herself another. She was listening intently to Silus, who had explained that there was a bounty mission he wanted them to help on. Pffft, whatever, Kintya thought to herself. I ain't a bounty hunter. When he mentioned the 100k credits to be made, she stopped, and looked at him. That's... A lot of money. And Silus believed it was doable, with their skill set, and, most importantly, equal shares. That is 20k right there. An interesting offer.
Silus made his goodbyes,. and left the table, paying his tabs and making his exit. Kintya looked around the table, and smirked, slightly tipsy now. "Well, who's crazy enough to do this bounty mission with Silus? I mean, he's hunting all of us at this table. Think it's a trap?." She slammed another shot, and poured some for everyone else. "But if he's telling the truth, that's like, 20 thousand credits. You could do a lot on Tryliin with 20 thousand... I dunno, should we trust him?"
