Blake: Hey cool, thanks!
She picks up the rifle and twirls it.
Blake: Wow it's light.
She aims it at Gin and pretends to make a threatening expression. Slowly she backs out of the room then appears next to the captain with the special delivery.
Blake: Mission complete, cap…
Captain Ahir: Exellent… You may handle it to me… Im glad I didn´t have to trow valuable crewmembers into space… (the captain twitchs his neck at the same time he says that) My dear friend Orcha… your debt is finally payed…
(And because he´s the last member of the Black scythe I´ll be introducing…)
Name: Ahir´Lehen
Age: 457 (around early fourties)
Race: Nemmenitah
Gender: Male
Extra: Ahir has always been a misterious figure, he nevers shows his face with Heres being the only one who has seen it, apparently he used to be a hunter on his home planet, at least he can remember that besides his name… Most Nemmenitas have purple or blue-ish skin but once in a while there is some who are born with warm colors like yellow, brown or even red skin, with Ahir having this really dim and sort of dark yellowísh skin, most of them are easy targets and get killed by the local fauna when hunting (hunting is big part of their culture), Ahir once got attacked by a Gera´toa (imagine a mix between a praying mantis and a centipide, then make it giant) and lost five Ie´chas, ever since that moment he cant barely remember anything about his life, he constantly has weird twitchs on different part of his body and once in a while some unstable moods, after getting his Ie´chas replaced by some functional prosthetic ones, he decided to quit hunting and got a job on an old cargo ship, the man has always been moraly ambiguous and his intentions aren´t always the best, that got his kicked out of the ship, luckily he gained some experience at that time, he started doing some stuff for the black market and evntually got an old ship he called the Black scythe, years and years of getting money and inverting it on the ship have made it into what it is now, and whit the years captain Ahir has gotten way more elusive, he has met some people who own him a few favors and constantly makes them pay, his way of getting people to do what he wants are quite… weird, they go from becoming close to that person to death treats and sometimes torture, even thought only Heres can confirm the last one and she refuses to talk about it… The crew barely see him outside his room, when he goes outside is mostly to get drunk or to the bathroom…
Charisma: 5
Strenght: 4
Stealth: 3
Intimidation: 4
Aim: 4
(neat)
Blake gives the delivery to Ahir.
Blake: Why do you want it anyway?
Ahir: Reasons… I hear about certain someonw who is willing to pay for this but of course, that someone cant come… We are leaving at the end of the festival, Im not losing this one…
Blake: Do you know what it is? What about Aru?
Ahir: Of course I do, I would never get something without knowing what it is, now, about little Tahcedaeda, Im more than sure that Raki´ja would get her to the ship in no time, I was hoping she didn´t hear our conversation but I guess Hetzelox cant ignore that kind of stuff… besides… whatever Raki´ja has in mind as a punishment and me acting like nothing happened would be enought… Sometimes people need to feel guilty while everyone treats them like inocent in order to learn a lesson… You are free to do whatever you want, but if you go out, try to hide yourself a little bit… Im sure after what just happened the guards would find you quite suspicious…
Captain Ahir tells you to leave, he´s probably hiding the cube somewhere in the room or his clothes, now you can do whatever you want until the festival ends, you hear some screams close to the entrance, it definitely sounds like Raki´ja telling Aru how stupid her actions are, you see Meiji carrying a bucket filled with water (he is obviously going to trow that at Sarso), you can go check on them, including Gin and Nemo or do whatever you want.
(I should be mentioning that you can bring any crewmember with you if you want…)
Blake appears next to Sarso
Blake: Want to try to save Aru?
Sarso: K… It´s not like we just got out of a suicidal mission…
Sarso stands up and at that moment Meiji jumps behind you and tries to trow water at him… Sadly for him, Sarso is already used to that and just stares at Meiji as on "Do you really want to try doing that?" Meiji goes to his room while screaming "IMMA GET YOU NEXT TIME AND YOU KNOW IT"
Blake snorts and approaches Raki'ja cautiously.
Raki´ja would normally watch her coming but she´s to focus on screaming, Aru sees you and looks at you with her "please dont" face…
Sarso just stands there and it seems like he´s hiding something on his armor…
(I was making the drawings for the rest of the characters but the program I use keeps crashing, so I instead just put the sim version of those characters, Raki´ja mouth looks larger than what is actually is and I put a badly made photo of a sketch of Nemo… Invalid Universe)
(what program do you use?)
(Krita, it normally works for me but I been having some issues lately, I checked a few hours ago and turns out I got too many stuff making my computer slow so I guess it´s related to that… I delete what I no longer use and check if it works…)
Blake eyes Sarso and coughs loudly at Raki'ja.
Blake to Sarso: You'd better have a plan before I jump in
Sarso: I do… (trows a rubber ball at Raki´ja´s head and points at himself)
Raki´ja just stares at Sarso like she´s about to kill him, Sarso on the other hand, just stands there like he´s fine with it…
Blake grabs Aru and drags her away leaving Sarso with Raki'ja. Blake: Thanks Sarso, hope you had a nice life…
Sarso: before you kill me… It was Meiji…
Meiji, who is hidden somewhere near, just comes out and screams "MAN WTF"
Raki´ja grabs Sarso and tosses him agants the wall hitting his head, Sarso just lets out a monotone "ouch"
Aru: Thanks for that… I guess… I… sometimes forgot you´re not familiarize with Hetzelox parenting…
Sorry for taking so long and braking my own rule, I just been busy with school (that excuse again…) and I been sick all week… Anyway, I finally got krita to work and already put the sketch of Gin and Nemo, I´ll be ending the final version and the rest of the crew around next week if I dont get busy with another stuff…
(I'm trying Krita thanks) (those are great)
Blake: I think I'm pretty familiar, anyway I wanted to ask do you actually think you can trust the captain with your whole entire species' memories?
Aru: Not really but… What can I do? Like… Im hoping he knows what he´s doing but still… Listen that cube is like my species´s greatest secret that we kept hidden from the whole universe and somehow he knows about it for Orenaeh´s sake! (Orenaeh is the god of knowledge in Hetzelox mythology) I dont know how he even hear about it and I dont know how he got it, Im starting to think that the Oquori man didn´t fully knew what he was giving us… I would take it myself but I cant even punch something without hurting myself…
She looks extremely frustrated and you can hear how her voice cracks…
Aru: At least I know he wont be able to open it, only a drop of royal blood can do that but all of them died with our planet, Im hoping he doesn´t try to sell it or something…
(also have you met TiramisuGrenouille)
Blake: So you can't open it either?
(Ok! and as for krita, just a few tips that I learned: you can use shift to make the brush bigger of smaller, v can be used to create a straight line, contr+g creates a clipping mask, you can use e to turn a brush into an ereaser and vice versa and the way it opens on default, above the place where you pick colors, there´s this thing that looks like a window, I found that clicking the "big paint 2" option is really helpful, and if you go to settings and go to "themes" you can change the color of the UI, at least that what I learn from experience, hope this´s useful!)
Aru: Sadly I dont… at least not fully, you see… This is complicated… When the royal family started, it was divided on fifteen families, with one being the emperors and the rest being nobles, mine is… Was one of them, of course, the royal family only… "reproduced" with the ones who didn´t drastically chance their DNA, the rest where able to have children with whoever they wanted, Im not royalty but my ancestors where once… Kind of… To some degree I still have royal blood but I dont think it would do anything important… Probaly just recognize me but other than that… I dont think so…
(Gin and Nemo are ready Invalid Universe)
(thankssss) (Awesome!!)
Blake: You don't want to even try?
