Burning Skies Saloon
Shinkurex:
--Docks--
*Walks up to Zill and BdrLine*
"Hey guys... How's it going?"
*Looks to Zill*
"Zill... I don't know if you know this already, but ever since Burning Skies closed down, I've been having these weird memories... All I can remember, is that back when I first started out as a gunner, and we were shot down by raiders. When I got older, I found out that those raiders worked for a Baron.... They described him as a Fat man who sold merchandise to the black market. You would happen to know who that is would you?"
*Grabs an ale, and starts to drink it*
Yiski:
*Yiski to Qwerty*
Now don't be to harsh on the young couple. I'd at least say they'll last two weeks before that happens.
Yiski!
Oh come on now Roland, you know we're just havin' fun with you. *sigh* Just like his mother.
*Yiski then turns to Paradox and gives him a raised eyebrow.*
You know I've got a mind to ask you to clarify, but lookin' at that face, I know I'd regret it immediately.
RearAdmiralZill:
-Docks-
*Zill stares at Shinkurex for a moment and gets a more serious tone.*
I know exactly who that Urchin is. He's been sucking off the life of Anvala for years. He bribes the Council to keep his skin safe, and sells all kind of things on his black market. Big network down there. Back when I had regular interrogations, I searched for him for the better part of 2 years. I actually saw him. More rat than man from my perspective. I destroyed the better part of his market back then too, and after I became Admiral he was a real non-issue. Its unfortunate he is responsible for your troubles.
*He takes a swig of his mug and puts a hand on Shink's shoulder*
Dont worry about him though. He closer to death than any of us. Enjoy the night, plenty of ale for everyone.
-Narrator-
The night goes on in celebration. Despite his dreams, Shinkurex quickly becomes consumed by the night's activities. Music and ale filled the Port. The festivities lasted until all the ale was gone, and the night sky took over. Everyone headed their separate ways until only Jun'ko and Zill remained.
-End Narrator-
You stayin' again tonight?
Sadly i must attend to my apartment. Trust me when I say id rather not have the burden tonight.
*She slowly removes his mask and looks at him, the tar barrel fires it his eyes.*
Something to think on tonight, oh captain.
*She locks lips with Zill for what feels like hours. This time he wasnt caught off guard and didnt let go so easily. She gave a hug and went off toward the gates. She wags her butt playfully as she disappears into the night.*
Dont miss me too much. Ill be back.
*Zill waves.*
I look forward to it.
Yiski:
--NARRATOR--
The night moves on. Zill, BdrLine, and Shink drink for a few more hours before retiring into their respective beds. Shink thinks about what Zill said about Urchin. As much as Shink wants to go after him, he decides to trust in what Zill said. Shink would only realize in a few months Urchin died in a raid by the Baronies Military on Urchin's illegal plushie refinery. Urchin may have contacts, but not nearly as many as BdrLine.
After BdrLine and Shink left, Zill stood upon his squid again, alone, staring into the night sky. Part of him wished he had went with Jun'ko.
Another time I guess.
BdrLine hurried home to put the last part of his over-watch plan for Ny-Lee and Roland's date.
Alright, I think a few meters is a safe viewing distance.
Paradox headed back to his HQ where his "enjoyments" were waiting for him.
There you ladies are, just like I left you.
Roland and Ny-Lee walked together back to BdrLine's place. The two shared a long kiss before breaking.
I'm looking forward to our date and the surprise tomorrow.
I am looking forward to it myself Ny-Lee.
After Ny-Lee went inside, Roland ran back to the saloon just before Yiski locked up. In order for his surprise to work, Roland needed Yiski's help.
Woah, Roland. You need something?
Yes, you know I have a date tomorrow. Well, I need to borrow something.
Is it that?
Roland affirmatively nodded.
Of course you can. Just be careful with it.
Yiski went into the back, came back, and tossed something to Roland.
Thank you Yiski. I mean it.
I know you do.
Roland took the package and head back to his apartment.
So he's gonna use that tomorrow, huh? Now I really need make sure things go right.
--NARRATOR END--
--END OF DAY 32--
Yiski:
--START OF DAY 33--
--NARRATOR--
Roland woke up with the morning sun. He wiped his eyes and stared out his window. He got himself ready for work and for this evening's date. As he washed his face he looked at himself in the mirror.
Alright! I have to give it my all today!
Roland made his way to the saloon and saw Yiski standing outside the door. Roland was puzzled and asked.
Is everything alright Yiski?
Yiski turn and saw Roland and smiled.
Well don't you look like a noble. I figured you'd want to work for a bit before you date, so I'm gonna tell you right now you've got the entire day to spend with Ny.
What? Are you....
Yup. Now I appreciate all the help you've given in the past week, but you need to focus on Ny and treat her well.
Roland was speechless for a moment. He eventually smiled, nodded, and went on his way to BdrLine's place to pick up Ny-Lee. As soon Roland was out of sight, Yiski went back inside and grabbed the scope of off Blood Bolt. Yiski murmurs.
Now, I just got to wait for Zill so he can watch the saloon for the day so I can keep an eye on Roland.
