You find yourselves in a luxuriously large lobby of the SS Rendirian. The Cerci Colony's private cruiser. You find all of yourselves sitting at the same table. One Peglaci who is nervously tapping his claws against the table, a creepy-a** looking Human with white eyes, a dapper Avali who can barely look over the table and a red Novakid who just spilled his water all over himself. @WarSarah @The Alonne @Jirky-Kake @Roland Weiss Among the quiet murmur of the massive crowd in the lobby a intercom buzzes, the voice of a woman can be heard. " We will be landing in several minutes, please be ready to disembark. " You hear many people heave a sigh of relief, Your vacations will be beginning soon. Maybe this will actually be fun for once. (( OOC here: http://community.playstarbound.com/...-colony-reboot-accepting-applications.115578/ ))
The peglaci heaved a sigh, the last few months had been nerve wracking; but at least they were about to arrive. He took a quick once-over the crowd, perhaps he was being paranoid, checking and double-checking everything, always glancing over his shoulder and never staying in one place for too long. His hope was that this place would be isolated enough that his pursuers wouldn't think to find him here, but he could never be too careful.
"Gah!..." He reflexively tried to stop the water from spilling on him with his hands and scooting back in his seat, but alas it wasn't enough. The novakid places his cup on the table, sighing a bit while wiping the water off his clothes before glancing around to see if anyone saw him.
No one was above suspicion in his mind, vacationers might be undercover agents. The peglaci showed a look of concern on his face. "You alright there?"
"Ah ha." The novakid sheepishly replies; he rubs the back of his neck before jokingly adding, "Yea, I'm fine. You could say I have a drinking problem." He awkwardly chuckles at his own joke.
The human girl stared at the peglaci and novakid- but not directly at them. She seemed to be interested in their conversation, but made no movements to join it at all.
"Heh, think I heard that one from a movie once." The peglaci was certainly conscious to the girl's stares. "Something the matter, little miss?"
The human blinked, tilting her head a little. Her expression scrunched up into a pout as she turned her stare towards the table."Little?I didn't think I was that much smaller than you." When she spoke, it was quiet, as if she had been a child who got in trouble.
The peglaci let out a deep chuckle, as he straightened his posture, revealing that he was substantially taller. "I wasn't referring to your height. So, is there a problem? I cannot say that I am comfortable with the staring."
@Jirky-Kake @WarSarah @Roland Weiss @Arra The avali looks at all three travelers with curiosity, then interrupts the argument. "So, then! My name's Echomichi. Though, most call me 'Michi'. Nice to meet you all!"
The ship rumbles a bit, before the intercom buzzes again " We have landed, please make your way to the exit. " That seemed quick for a landing, Before you can get up drones fill the room. They deliver everyone's bags to them. Several people dressed in blue and white uniforms. They are ushering people through several doors found at the end of the lobby.
The girl stares at Echomichi for a moment, before chuckling a little. She smiles, opening her mouth to reply before- ...before her bag is dropped right in front of her face. She quickly takes it and hugs it to her chest with a sigh."Oh thank god, any longer and I might of puked..."
"Ah, I see our time is up to chat, so sorry! If you fine people find me on Cerci, please, come and chat! I'd love to have someone to talk to." He smiles before grabbing his bag and walking off.
The peglaci also grabbed his bag, before heading to the doors. He didn't bother to introduce himself, it would be better if the others didn't know.
As Echomichi and the Peglaci head for the exit, a slightly purple furred, female Peglaci dressed in a black and red greatcoat makes their way past them, mumbling something barely audible. " Have to go hunt down a fugitive, great. At least me and Earnest will get to talk. "
What little good humour the peglaci might have shown on his face immediately vanished. He knew the fugitive she was looking for was him; he kept quiet, last thing he needed to do was look even more suspicious then he already did.
Echomichi's ears perk up, detecting the Peglaci's quiet sentence perfectly. Fugitive? Here? Hmm, looks like someone may need help...
The girl caught up next to the peglaci, even "accidentally" nudging into him. "How strange, you were jolly just a second ago. Cat got your tongue or something?" She glanced around him, trying to see what the cause was for his silence.
The peglaci waited for the other peglaci to be out of earshot before muttering, "I... have my reasons."
