He was drooling, "Spears...spears!" Even better, a spear that may be exactly for him! God it's heaven! Ronon's voice shook him from his stupor. "Dock the ships, Shin, don't steal anything, got it?" (OOC:Keep it together for the meantime)

"Then we best head to the bridge of this airship to pilot it closer to mine," Ronon replied, "once she's close enough, the docking is entirely automated from that point on."

He looked at Ronon, "Amazing what money could do nowadays, huh? Automated docking machines, self-wiping glasses, but y'know? There's always something good about coming home a lil' tired and sweaty eh? Besides, it's good to practice manual docking, just in case."

I dropped the fake grin, and gave her a small smile, not as joyful, but still happy...a little at least. I shook my head a bit, and spoke one of the few bits of the language I learned, "Jyu-chan, oui chaygo meddma kunoichi." I grinned. Sneaky little kunoichi...she had hated that. It probably angered most of all because it showed I could learn the language...if I actually put some real effort into it, "...I guess you're right." I let my hand drop a bit, and I scratched my head a bit, "...two years can do a lot to a person, eh?"

I giggled slightly after standing up, my tears drying and my face not so hot and it felt so good having none of that weight on my shoulders anymore. Who knew that getting all this out to the person that it involved would be one of the best feelings ever? Gawd, now I knew.

"No kidding, Lussyhtan Mywo-Byhdc." I replied lightly. He had a point, two years did change people-- but I was glad to know that a few things hadn't changed. I still got that warmth when I saw him scratch his head when he didn't know what else to say, or when he was confused or when he was just trying to cheer me up by being his goof-ball self. So glad some things stayed the same. I grinned and slowly made my way infront of him and the moment I remembered a similar scene -- we'd had just met, first mission together, we fought over the control, and stood the way we were now-- something clicked within me.

I had forgiven him, I really had. I believed him and didn't believe those Vierran archers (let their arrows take a back-drift) and I felt exhausted because I was thinking about how much time I had wasted being angry. I fisted my hands on the ends of his leather vest and rocked back and forth on my heels, grinning slightly as I replied. "But... some things.. thankfully don't, y'know?"

I cracked my neck a bit and spoke, "Well...I suppose we better not keep them waiting out there much longer. The death glares I can handle; the spears and knives may be a problem though."

He had another point.

I smirked slightly, challenging him abit wordlessly on the 'spears and knives' part but dropped it as soon as I nodded and replied, thinking it was better to just get out of there and talk more about him. "Mmkay. We'll go ahead and get out there, but I'm pretty sure they're not waiting for us since they kinda sorta know I hate being rushed with stuff. But eh, I guess you're right-- you still haven't met my new family and you and I both know we needa get that done." I bit my lip, not wanting to leave just yet because he didn't know I had forgiven him and still needed to apologize and I sure as hell wasn't done with him. But, we were both emotionally exhausted and we seriously needed a break from this other world of ours. But, I couldn't help myself as I edged forward and tentatively slid my hands against his muscled stomach and around his back, returning that small hug from the hallway. I pressed my forehead against his chest (I came up to his chin, yes it was our height differences, not just mine) and stood there, taking in the past just for that moment.

I had to let him know though, I couldn't leave this room until I did so 'cause if I did then I would waste even more time and gawd did I waste time. I inhaled everything that was him before mumbling against his shirt, "Just know... I forgive you, Vitty. And, you know how I hate apologizing but I really feel like I should and you better not remind me so I just--... I-I'm sorry, for... for being unfair and punching you and sort of, everything."

She was smiling...thank the heavens. I let out a mental sigh; this is what I had hoped for. I felt a little better myself...a little. A little less angry with myself, a little more accepting that the past was in the past. I looked at her to see her small grin...she was too adorable for words, honestly.

Saying that though...well, that may end with a kunai shoved where the sun don't shine. Jyu-chan was not 'cute' as she liked to put it. Well, she didn't like me saying that unless she was in the mood for it. She was a complicated girl at times...though I could care less. She was Jyu-chan, and I was always happy with that.

"Heheh...y-yeah. That's true." She was leaning closer. Yes, I still got a bit nervous around her, even after all the things we've done together. It was like I was my 19 year old self again, and Jyuuki had me pinned to the wall of a building while she had given me a predatory look.

Ah...sweet memories...

I pressed my forehead against his chest (I came up to his chin, yes it was our height differences, not just mine) and stood there, taking in the past just for that moment.

I let out a deep sigh as she slid one of her hands down my stomach. I mumbled something incoherent into her hair as I enjoyed the feel.

"Jyu-chan...we...we better stop. I don't want the others to walk in on...well, you know." I forced myself to say that. Had it been my true feelings...well, different story.

I had to let him know though, I couldn't leave this room until I did so 'cause if I did then I would waste even more time and gawd did I waste time. I inhaled everything that was him before mumbling against his shirt, "Just know... I forgive you, Vitty.

"You were forgiven the minute you gave me the time to talk, Jyu-chan..." I wrapped my arms around her, and pulled her close for a minute before I let go again, "Don't worry, I won't ruin your reputation as the tough girl. I'll just tell them if they ask that you decided to give me mercy. Sound fair?" I chuckled a bit. She was still a proud ninja. Another thing that hadn't changed, thankfully.

I ran a hand through her hair, and spoke, "I think we better get out there now. We'll have plenty of time to catch up later...okay?"

[Sakura~Kitsune]

He was drooling, "Spears...spears!" Even better, a spear that may be exactly for him! God it's heaven! Ronon's voice shook him from his stupor. "Dock the ships, Shin, don't steal anything, got it?" (OOC:Keep it together for the meantime)

"Understood."

My response was simple, showing that my thoughts weren't clearly on the objective of my current task. I was still thinking about Jyuuki, and still thinking about that dagger in the door of the closet (hoped I didn't scare them that much). It seemed I was continuing to revert back to my younger self, treating everything I was asked to do as an order--- because it felt that personality towards anything was right. Bare feet roughly brushing against the floors, I made my way towards the control room, and eyes took hold onto the wooden door... no longer wishing that the thing would explode but hoping that Jyuuki and this stranger would come out sooner or later. It frighten me; From head to toe, a revisited case of fear overcame me because I kew what Jyuuki was capable of whenever she was mad. If she forgave this 'Vitty' for whatever the heck he did to her, it would probably take me five times longer to possess myself to forigve him.

And yet again, I didn't even know the fool.

Could this even be classified as insanity or just an over-exaggerated version of 'Sisterly Love'?

Either or, I didn't like it.

Hands carefully taking control of the ship, I recalled my 'order' and made sure Cid's airship made direct linking with the other one. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something so simple turned into a mountain of trouble; and that would be something else that would get me fired.

"ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOOD TO GO!" My voice was extra loud, making sure that everyone heard me. Maybe it would be right if I was to bundle up most of the things I was planning to get fixed over there... either that or I just place the better one in the dull bundle. Needed to make sure that I brought everything along with me - one false move and I could actually lose something. And that would officially be the death of me.

I'd probably end up attacking someone if that ever happened.

Ah, wouldn't that be funny? Well... in my eyes it would, and maybe Jyuuki and Cid? Unless I actually got out of hand, and then there would be ropes and pleas for me the calm down.

Yeeaaaah, scratch out that thought.

Hurrying back into the room, I leaped into the closet before taking hold of my supposedly sturdy box of weapons and other valuables. They were in need of a good sharpening and maybe this other airship would be of better use than I thought, and will me along the way of getting new treasures. Hey, who knew what I could find there. Even if Cid told me not to steal anything, who says I won't... I'm a natural born thief with a rapid bloodflow only aimed towards those rare valuables.

This was going to be sweet.

Darkened eyes taking hold of the closest door yet again, I made my way over to the door before yanking my lovely dagger out of the dreaded wood. I really hoped that this blade didn't hit anyone in there... no blood? Check.

Aw, I was hoping for something.

Holsting up the box in hand, I brushed off the dust before my feet dragged my sorry self over to Cid, Raven and Ronon. With a small smile, my hea glanced back every now and then wondering when those idiots were going to come out of there. I swear, if they were doing something in there... I'd kill them. Honestly and for truth, I would.

"Let the hunt begin~"

OOC: Apologies for the delay...it being the holidays and all I've not really had a chance to sit down at my comp since my last post until now.

Ronon watched the others with a raised eyebrow. Even though he was taking everything in as best he could all at once, he still was able to notice Shin's piloting skills when she, guided by the automated systems of the Enterprise, docked Cid's airship into one of the larger vessel's berths without scratching the paint on either. He chuckled to himself as the unbidden image of how Cid would react had that occured flashed across his imagination.

"Marvelous piloting job, young lady," he said as Shin stepped away from the controls.

Turning around and heading towards the door he called over his shoulder: "If you would please follow me and not stray once we're aboard the Enterprise...it is rather easy to get lost if you don't know the layout...I'll lead the way to the atrium. The 'stores' are in rooms connected to that."

Without missing a beat, he continued walking, noting the moment his footfalls changed from the wood floor of the No Fighting to the metal of the area around the birth she was docked in. Once inside, the main corriders were floored with various types of stone. Once they reached the atrium, the glass dome roof providing a clear view of the sky above through the glass panels attached to the rib frame. The atrium's floor was dirt with limestone squares layed end to end for a walkway. Along the limestone path were various water fountains, statues, and benches.

"Each side room from this point is marked with the standard symbol of its trade, be it weapon, protective, or other," he explained onced they reached the top of the 'hill' in the middle of the atrium where they could see all around from, "just remember the follow: no matter what, you won't find any materia for sale in any establishment I control, my reasons are my own for that; don't wander off down the corriders that branch off from here as I would hate for you to accidently wind up in an unsafe area such as the outside walkways; and, as for protection against theft, there are...systems of my own design installed to guard against it. Now, have fun and shop. I'll meet back here in..." he pulled out his fob watch and checked the time, "a half hour or so with the 'special' items I have in mind for you two," he pointed at Cid and Shin, "if you have any questions, or any purchases to make, just talk with one of the robotic Moogles you'll find around. Each shop has one stationed at the counter and the rest tend to wander. Any questions?"

He leaned against a tree watching the group who had followed him as he waited to see if they had any.

She was smiling...thank the heavens. I let out a mental sigh; this is what I had hoped for. I felt a little better myself...a little. A little less angry with myself, a little more accepting that the past was in the past. I looked at her to see her small grin...she was too adorable for words, honestly.

Well, she didn't like me saying that unless she was in the mood for it. She was a complicated girl at times...though I could care less. She was Jyu-chan, and I was always happy with that.


"Heheh...y-yeah. That's true." She was leaning closer. Yes, I still got a bit nervous around her, even after all the things we've done together. It was like I was my 19 year old self again, and Jyuuki had me pinned to the wall of a building while she had given me a predatory look.

Ah...sweet memories...

I let out a deep sigh as she slid one of her hands down my stomach. I mumbled something incoherent into her hair as I enjoyed the feel.

"Jyu-chan...we...we better stop. I don't want the others to walk in on...well, you know." I forced myself to say that. Had it been my true feelings...well, different story.

I felt his shivers through his body then through the (my) fingers that were deciding to trail their calloused tips down his stomach and near his hips and I seriously couldn't help the small smirk that stretched on my face.

This was by far one of my favorite parts, one of the things that I'd really really really prefer to stay and really really glad to find out that it hadn't changed. I wanted to whisper, murmur, anything that was toned down and that got him to react like, like not-himself but I just couldn't. Too soon for that, too wrong of a time and place and woah yeah especially the wrong place for it. I mean, who would? I could practically feel the waves of impatience outside the door behind us. The waves of disapproval that conjured up many images involving my fellow employee (no the crazy one, yeah her) and Vitty and many different knives and pain and ... oh my gawd that'd be hilarious to watch.

... So hilarious to watch...

Yeeeeeah, that smirk? Aside from that I couldn't (now) help the evil thought that usually accompanied a smirk like the one I was wearing at that second. They really were inseparable my smirk and my thoughts and it wasn't really my fault.

Honest!

Geh.

Fine, pathelogical liar--

Whatevs.

"You were forgiven the minute you gave me the time to talk, Jyu-chan..." I wrapped my arms around her, and pulled her close for a minute before I let go again, "Don't worry, I won't ruin your reputation as the tough girl. I'll just tell them if they ask that you decided to give me mercy. Sound fair?" I chuckled a bit. She was still a proud ninja. Another thing that hadn't changed, thankfully.

That side-tracked me for a little bit. He really had forgiven me? After leaving? After doing all that I'd done and causing him all that ... that for 2 years? Just like that?

He really was too forgiving and I really didn't deserve it so really what else was there for me to do but give him the tough treatment that involved more punches than touches? More pain than pleasure? Don't judge me, he really shouldn't be forgiving me cos, I really didn't feel like forgiving myself right then and there. I left. Just like that.

But at least I had the fact that he wouldn't have been Mister Commander if I hadn't. This? This eased me so much because I really really don't think I could handle him not "reaching his full potential" if I had been in the way. It'd happened before, when I'd slacked off during a mission-- he kinda sorta saved me but I was too proud to acknowledge that, instead I just beat myself up for doing that to him. After that though, no doubt, I'd never let it happen again.

So I guess I didn't.

This fact really did make me feel better and gawd was I thankful for that.

I grinned, happy that he'd forgiven the unforgiven. And also, it looked like he remembered what I'd liked. "Mercy and me? Hmmm, it'd be hard to convince them, buuuut I think they'll be swayed this time. Just make sure ya act humble kay? Gotta give 'em the Jyu-Vitty charm." I winked then, giving him a small reminder of the times we would make excuses (I really don't think they flew with our friends though) just to blow training or teaching or whatever they'd have us on for just-- us time.

I saw him snicker in agreement and I couldn't help but to remember my previous task at hand, my hand whatever was underneath my hands actually.

I ran a hand through her hair, and spoke, "I think we better get out there now. We'll have plenty of time to catch up later...okay?"

I cheekily grinned, thinking about how pissed of Shihna was when she'd realized that I'd had beef with the man underneath my hands and I couldn't help the thought that was buzzing in my mind. Though... what if she didn't barge in like I expected her t--

"ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOOD TO GO!" My voice was extra loud, making sure that everyone heard me. Maybe it would be right if I was to bundle up most of the things I was planning to get fixed over there... either that or I just place the better one in the dull bundle. Needed to make sure that I brought everything along with me - one false move and I could actually lose something. And that would officially be the death of me.

I swear, if they were doing something in there... I'd kill them. Honestly and for truth, I would.

Cha-ching goes the register in my brain which ultimately meant one thing: Don't pass this up. And I seriously seriously seriously couldn't because really, I was one to grasp at chances of entertainment and torture (what?) and welcome (yeah just think of this as his welcome into the group) at any and every time. So? I grasped.

"Awww but Vitty-kun," I half-whispered, half-whined as I let my fingers trail lightly against his chest again as I slightly pulled him towards the door. Through practice and hands-on (s)experience, I'd confirmed numerous ... uh, vital spots on the warrior infront of that he ...er, preferred to be ... um, acknowledged more than not, so it was no surprise to me that numerous sounds were coming from the man infront of me. I continued on, "It's been soooo long, since we've seen eachother doncha think?"

I reached up and nipped at his collar (heeeh, still worked) before completing phase one of Mission Welcome Vitty To Bar Family The -Fun- Way...

I turned around in his arms faster than he could say "WADAFUX YOU DOIN" and started kicking the door.

Really, really hard.

While moaning and groaning and basically making it seem like something was going down tonight.

Really really loudly.

Shihna, I choose you!

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Cid browsed through the different spears, "Nice nice, steel spears, adamantium tipped....Ooh! Spears with a space to put materia in! Oh wow...., don't suppose they have a Bazooka Lance.... Oh, I don't wanna ask....I'll just embarrass myself.... But oh..." Cid didn't know he was already making a fool of himself as he jumped from one spear to the next with the energy of a little kid. "OMG! There's even a spear for wind-magic users!" Thankfully, he had the restraint to stop a squee from leaving his mouth.

[Pite]

"Yare Yare... Those kids sure are noisy, hehehe... When the kids will learn to keep the python in the pants erh?" Draco said while fizing some stuff in the main bar. Seemingly ingoring the noises coming from the closed door or the fact that everyone ignored him.

'Next shall be the liquor cabinet, hehehe, I wonder what things you can find there, maybe a Gold Label?' He though while finishing up a chair.

OOC: Archer just said he didn't sell Materia. Guess I wasn't clear that ICly he dislikes it so much he doesn't even sell items that can use it.

IC: At the utterance of the word 'materia', one of the wandering Moogle-bots came over.

"Ex-cuse me, sir," it intoned in its mechanical voice, a slight pause between each syllable, "but mat-er-ia and re-la-ted i-tems are not per-mit-ted for sale by the mas-ter. If you have found some-thing re-lat-ed to ma-ter-ia, than a prior cus-tom-er must have left it and I will have to re-move it from the shop floor."

It held out its metallic hands while waiting for Cid to place the spear in question in them.

OOC: I'll have SK a chance to post before I bring Ronon back.

Shihna, I choose you!

Damn it, resolve...fading...instincts...kicking in...

"Jyu-chan...you shouldn't be so..." I let out a sigh as she nipped my neck, "...so loud..." She was groaning and moaning, and putting up a pretty good act that would have an old woman blushing had they been outside the door.

Then luck would have it that the little kunoichi managed to kick the door open, causing the two of us to go flying out of the closet, and me falling on the floor.

I found myself looking up at her, and spoke, "Jyu! Stop! That crazy knife girl will go nuts on me if they catch me with you like this!" I whispered into her ear, but she didn't seem to be stopping. I looked over to the bar, and noted that one of the men from earlier, who seemed to be occupied with a chair. He looked over, but didn't say anything. I gave him an awkward grin before trying to pry off the girl, "Jyu-chan! As much as I enjoy this, don't you think it'd be better if I explain myself to the others first? I don't want to find myself having a one way trip to the surface by being thrown off this airship..." I whispered (as my hands ran through her hair. What the hell? Stupid, traitorous hands that go against my will!).

Stupid, traitorous hands that go against my will!).

The neverending smile adorning my face did not leave... however there was a visable twitch in both eyelids and full figure. Oh dear, it seemed that Jyuuki was actually letting this Vitty play around in dangerous territory, and the probability of the former ninja actually attempting to save him (since this was probably her way of introducing him to their 'family') were pretty slim. The boarderline was basically crossed after locking themselves in the closet for so long - but just overhearing that certain 'insult' sent chills down my spine without even trying; well, this was a first. Although there was no way in hell that he was going to get away with that.

I watched as they emerged from the closet, and my senses continously flared at the situation beforehand. For some reason, there was no chance of Jyuuki aiming any form of anger towards him... and that simply disappointed me. Why you ask? It showed me that there was someone who could soften my 'sister' in a matter of seconds. And that simply made me sick to the stomach. Was there any need for the pointless mushy stuff, especially when it wasn't needed?

However that statement 'Vitty' was supposed to be 'whispering' into Jyuuki's ear was louder than expected as my grip on my treasure box snapped (possibly breaking the edges, and causing splinters along my fingertips), resulting in it's impact onto the floor. A variety of sharpened / dull blades scattered around my bare feet and a classic handgun made it's way beside me. Yes, I did have a thing for the ancient firearm which released a 'bang!' rather than the flashy lazer or whatever. Bullets were always more fun than the common weapon today--- but still could not compare to my lovely dagger. Although my lower limbs kicked in, as my left hand reached out towards the first knife I caught hold of.

"...Would you like to repeat that?"

My question was asked with a smile as my legs sprinted myself towards the hopeless pair still sprawled on the floor. With a monsterous leap, and clentched finger joints, I found a single knee pressing itself against the wood as my ebony eyes locked onto his... the pocketknife threatening him as I leered closer; that smile still gracing my features with no problem. From anyone's point of view, I would seem to be either terrifying or just plain psychotic, but that was the exactly reason I enjoyed scaring people like this. It showed them that I was a force not to be reckoned with. And it was truly a sight to see whenever my plans were made clear without fault only meaning one thing: FEAR ITSELF! (and by god, I was proud of that!) Leaning over, I whispered dangerously in this stranger's ear as the tip of my blade was still positioned close.

I still meant business.

"Crazy Knife Girl, is what you called me, right? Come on now, I dare you to say it again, my friend. Call me that again and even try making Jyuuki cry, and you can count on this blade finding home security in your chest..." *insert happy-go-lucky smile here*

Placing the knife in the safety of my teeth, I hurried up before making my way towards my cluster of prized weapons and placed them back in that wooden box of mines. Glancing over, there was no smile upon my face before I gestured the two to hurry up onto Ronon's ship. There was no time for games especially since my attitude was simply not one of the best at the moment.

"Come on now. We don't have all day~"

He looked at the moogle to what could be described as a pathetic attempt at the Puppy Dog Pout...."Aww...." He reluctantly placed the spear on the robot's hands. "Bleh....Hey, where are the girls???" He looked around again, he has a one tracked mind when it came to spears.

(OOC: Whoops, my bad Abel.)

"Thank-you, sir," replied the Moogle-bot as it walked away to take care of the spear.

A few moments later a second Moogle-bot approached Cid.

"Can I help you find anything in particular, sir?" it inquired.

Meanwhile, yet another Moogle-bot had migrated over to Cid's airship and was waiting behind Shin. It was there to serve as a potential guide if anyone else wanted to be brought over to browse the shops on the Enterprise.

(OOC: Whoops, my bad Abel.)

OOC: No big. After reading up on materia, I also OOCly am not a big fan of it either and, after review, figured the same sentiment would be something Ronon would feel as well.
@SK: I thought you, Raven, and Cid were browsing the onboard shops now that Cid's airship has docked (temporarily for now, at least) with mine. Meh, guess Shin didn't follow along after all, lol.

[Sakura Blossoms]

I watched as they emerged from the closet, and my senses continously flared at the situation beforehand. For some reason, there was no chance of Jyuuki aiming any form of anger towards him... and that simply disappointed me. Why you ask? It showed me that there was someone who could soften my 'sister' in a matter of seconds. And that simply made me sick to the stomach. Was there any need for the pointless mushy stuff, especially when it wasn't needed?

Placing the knife in the safety of my teeth, I hurried up before making my way towards my cluster of prized weapons and placed them back in that wooden box of mines.

There was no time for games especially since my attitude was simply not one of the best at the moment.

"Come on now. We don't have all day~"

I wrinkled my nose a bit at all the mushy, moaning, groaning sounds that I was hearing, and quickly made my way over to Shin, and waited for Jyu and this random guy to get their business finished and done with, so that we could all go over to the other airship guy's ship to look at his weapons supply.

[krisk]

Then luck would have it that the little kunoichi managed to kick the door open, causing the two of us to go flying out of the closet, and me falling on the floor.

I found myself looking up at her, and spoke, "Jyu! Stop! That crazy knife girl will go nuts on me if they catch me with you like this!" I whispered into her ear, but she didn't seem to be stopping. I looked over to the bar, and noted that one of the men from earlier, who seemed to be occupied with a chair. He looked over, but didn't say anything. I gave him an awkward grin before trying to pry off the girl, "Jyu-chan! As much as I enjoy this, don't you think it'd be better if I explain myself to the others first? I don't want to find myself having a one way trip to the surface by being thrown off this airship..." I whispered (as my hands ran through her hair. What the hell? Stupid, traitorous hands that go against my will!).

I felt his rough fingers run through my hair and I had to brace myself against the small shiver that ripped through my body. WOW, how bout I just say that it's been awhile since that and it wasn't because of his touch? Yeah? It works in my head, so that said, I'm satisfied by the fact that I haven't been touched like that in a long time and it's not because of ...him.

Yay!

Anyway, I stopped as soon as that shiver passed and I peered down at him with a grin, happy that I'd kept up the act even through a rough and tumble through the door (which I thought opened in? What the heck, building design) plus the fact that we'd ended up in the public eye and not just it's ears. Who knew that I'd get more than I bargained for with such little effort? That and I guessed all those workouts during my stay helped my sexy ninja leg muscles, which of course I will be showing off, now that I'd acknowledged them! I shook out of my thoughts and lifted myself up so I was sitting and straddling Vitty's waist, and I couldn't help but laugh at all the superiority aspects I felt at that very moment. I smirked once again, looking down at him as I felt his "traitorous hands" (he'd like to call them when not taking the fall for what his brain did) brace themselves on my waist. "Hehe, hmmmmm, well you know me Vitty-kun! I like watching things play out. And you being thrown off the ship would be fun to watch doncha think? 'Sides, I guess I would save you-- since it's. Me. Also, that crazy knife girl," I began but cut myself off as I noticed the object of the conversation near closer and I finished in a whisper, "has really good hearing..."

I wanted to feel sorry for him, no really I did, but I just couldn't because I remember this is what I liked -- heck, lived for during my off-time. And like I said, stated, mentioned, whatever-ed before--

I grasp.

"...Would you like to repeat that?"

Glancing over, there was no smile upon my face before I gestured the two to hurry up onto Ronon's ship. There was no time for games especially since my attitude was simply not one of the best at the moment.

I blinked in silence as I watched her get up from her 2 second (but holy crap did it make an impact) crazy threat session with the guy beneath me and yes holy crap did I fear for his safety? Maybe? Kinda.

Well.

... Naaaaaaaaw. I decided. I decided that he'd be okay and that was one of the most hilarious things ever, because when I looked down I noticed that expression Vitty was wearing was like he'd just watched a huge hairy rat-fiend in heat sneak into his pants with the intention of getting friendly with what he held precious in his pants. With that thought coupled by Shihna's death threat, I couldn't help but burst out laughing and just-- it was-- just GODDESSES, that was amazing. I seriously had to remember to thank Shihna for that later on, I would've if I wasn't trying to breathe through my weezes and gasps, while holding my gut and slapping Vitty's chest (I would've slapped my knee but it was too far and HAHAHAH, see that wasn't even funny but the look on his face and everything was so fawny that it made everything not funny funny).

After a few moments, I controlled myself and wiped the few tears from my eyes as I looked down and realized that the hunter beneath me was now slightly annoyed and probably still scared cause he hadn't moved yet and I know he'd just use the excuse "you're heavy" if I mentioned it. So I didn't. All I did was set my breathing straight and grin at him, letting small snickers escape my pursed lips and I lifted a hand and patted his 5 o'clock shadowed face slightly before wibbling to him in a baby-voice, "Awww was wittle witty scared? Dun wowwy, Jwuuki will keep widdle Witty safe." I giggled again before lifting myself off him and stretching. It really felt like a few hours had passed as we'd gone from hating eachother to crying to eachother to starting over (but not really). Nevertheless-- I was happy, happy with-- everything at that moment. Seriously I felt like sky-diving at that second-- maybe I could play hookie with Shihna or something!

"Come on now. We don't have all day~"

Or not.

SADNESS, I thought but oh well, I guess business in this case was way more important than air-boarding on the sides of the mangly old ship.

"Fiiiiine, mou, Shihn you're such a workaholic all of a sudden!" I whined as I reached her and looped an arm around one of her arms, getting all touchy feely with my spirit-sister (that I really really was thankful for because seriously-- "make Jyuuki cry or else" -- made me want to just cry and bawl and be a baby-- but I was just too happy for that). I grinned cheekily before waving off her protesting expression and grabbing one of her guns from her chest, playing with it, "Heeee, I'm just kidding-- you're right. We should really get this over with. Mehhh." I whined again but overall was okay with it, and we walked arm in arm until we stopped infront of this tiny little Moogle-bot thingy.

Meanwhile, yet another Moogle-bot had migrated over to Cid's airship and was waiting behind Shin. It was there to serve as a potential guide if anyone else wanted to be brought over to browse the shops on the Enterprise.

I blinked in wonder at it (shut up I'd SEEN one before, just that they were really rare guest in our bar) and began poking it with the head of Shihna's gun. "Oiiiiiiiii, you mini-robot guy! I guess you belong to that Archer cyclops guy huh? How do I know? Why cos I'm awesome. That and you have a logo, dur. Stupid robots. Anyway, I guess you're our guide? Well--" I announced before grinning and posing, "GUIDE US THEN!"

It did, and we followed it to the other huge-ass ship that was docked next to ours, but before we left our home I called over my shoulder at the guy that had his life threatened more than three times in one hour-- "AND VITTY! 'FORE YA COME WITH, MAKE SURE THAT GUY AT THE BAR DOESN'T DRINK US OUT. BRING HIM TOO, COS ALL THE BOOZE THAT'S GONE HAPPENS TO ALWAYS BE MY FAULT! Stupid Cid."

After a few moments, I controlled myself and wiped the few tears from my eyes as I looked down and realized that the hunter beneath me was now slightly annoyed and probably still scared cause he hadn't moved yet and I know he'd just use the excuse "you're heavy" if I mentioned it.

Nevertheless-- I was happy, happy with-- everything at that moment. Seriously I felt like sky-diving at that second-- maybe I could play hookie with Shihna or something!

"...Jyu-chan...you keep teasing me and I'll start remembering the various times you would convince me to go into the forest near the outpost." I grinned a bit as she kept a straight face, and leaned closer as I whispered, "...and we both know what happened when you did that, right?" I gave her a cheesy grin that spoke SO many things, leaving the silence to fill in the unspoken words. She knew I would tell this Shihna-girl too...well, maybe I would.

It did, and we followed it to the other huge-ass ship that was docked next to ours, but before we left our home I called over my shoulder at the guy that had his life threatened more than three times in one hour-- "AND VITTY! 'FORE YA COME WITH, MAKE SURE THAT GUY AT THE BAR DOESN'T DRINK US OUT. BRING HIM TOO, COS ALL THE BOOZE THAT'S GONE HAPPENS TO ALWAYS BE MY FAULT! Stupid Cid."

I blinked in confusion. She just ordered me to do something...and I didn't get to even protest.

"...well, she bounces back quick." I grumbled, and walked into the bar, heading over to the man who seemed to be still working on the chair, "Excuse me, but I've been sent here by one of the waitresses to fetch you. They fear that their 'booze' is in danger of being gone when they get back from this Archer guy's airship. I suggest that you do so; Jyuuki and that other girl Shihna look like they could scare war-hardened Bangaa if they really wanted...I'd know." I gave him a small grin, "...besides, it looks like the guy has weapons and supplies galore in that ship."

A thought suddenly came to mind, and I raced back to the entrance of the bar, and called back out, "Hey, Jyuuki! No gossiping about me!!!!" I turned back to the man, "Well, you coming?"

[Abel Nightroad]

I blinked in wonder at it (shut up I'd SEEN one before, just that they were really rare guest in our bar) and began poking it with the head of Shihna's gun. "Oiiiiiiiii, you mini-robot guy!

'FORE YA COME WITH, MAKE SURE THAT GUY AT THE BAR DOESN'T DRINK US OUT. BRING HIM TOO, COS ALL THE BOOZE THAT'S GONE HAPPENS TO ALWAYS BE MY FAULT! Stupid Cid."

The Moogle-bot sweat dropped.

"Suggestion: Switch to decaf," it intoned, ready to nimbly dodge any hostile reaction to its comment.

Walking over to Draco, it proceed to poke him in the leg.

"Question: Will you require guidance to the shops as well at this time?" it asked.

Unlike the two male personality Moogle-bots Cid had encountered, this one had a female personality, and a mischevious one at that.

OOC: I'm going to give the Moogle-bots as many different speach styles as I can (from broken syllables to labeling what its saying by type (as this one did, lol)). I'm thinking they may make for some good comic relief at times, no?

[shadow_Uzumaki]

(OOC: Didn't HK-47 from KOTOR do that too??)

"Yeah, moogle-bot, you have a Bazooka-lance? It's a technology I found far away. If you don't, do you have any spears that can be infused by any elements? Or how about a spear that can break apart into a sansetsukon, y'know one of those triple-chuks??" He looked eagerly at the robot in front of him. "If you don't have that, make sure Jyuu and that new guy don't do the hanky-panky in my airship."

[Abel Nightroad]

(OOC: Didn't HK-47 from KOTOR do that too??)

OOC: I don't have that game, but I recall I remembered the idea was something Star Wars based.

"Yeah, moogle-bot, you have a Bazooka-lance? It's a technology I found far away. If you don't, do you have any spears that can be infused by any elements? Or how about a spear that can break apart into a sansetsukon, y'know one of those triple-chuks??" He looked eagerly at the robot in front of him. "If you don't have that, make sure Jyuu and that new guy don't do the hanky-panky in my airship."

"The items on dis-play," it replied, "are of a ba-sic na-ture for sec-ur-ity rea-sons, sir. Any-thing of high-er le-vel are stored in se-cured lo-ca-tions. Ac-cord-ing to my in-for-ma-tion, one such lo-ca-tion is where Mas-ter Arch-er is ob-tain-ing the items he seeks for you and the other.

"As for the oth-er mat-ter, I will up-load it on-to the net-work."

As it spoke, Cid's request was relayed to the communal network that was essentially a shared memory bank for all the Moogle-bots. As the one on Cid's airship saw the information, 'she' tilted her head to the side and looked over at Jyuu and Vitty.

Meanwhile, back with Cid, the 'male' Moogle-bot tilted his head as well, only he was searching records of what was in stock.

"Please de-scribe this 'Ba-zoo-ka lance', sir," it requested, "if I know its spe-ci-fi-ca-tions, then I will be a-ble to do a search of inventory rec-ords fast-er as I would be a-ble to sort my in-for-ma-tion bet-ter and more acc-ur-ate-ly."

OOC: @All: Happy 2009, everyone!
