RE: Of Spaceport Markets

Dante piqued Starcey's curiosity.

"A job on Cerania? So what do you do - like, freelancing or consulting or something?" she asked with honest interest.

(sorry, something that directed at you, you can respond to immediately, it'd be pointless for us to interject until the direct question is over)

(Yea, I was trying to draw your character in to the conversation a little, so we could head out as a team. Splitting up seems awkward and difficult to orchestrate.)

(I agree with Raelan. Just keep a natural discussion going, no need for everyone to "have their turn" every time Wink )

(Alright, It's my B-Day today Super Grin )

He thought about telling her what he did and he thought about lieing. Normally he would lie, but he hadn't lied to Raelan or Lao-tzu so he decided to tell her. "Me? my job? well I used to be student, than I was a soldier for a while, I tried fishing and flying, but those weren't for me, I stumbled upon my occupation, it's one that pays the bills, and pays them quite nicely, I am currently a salesman, if you will, a dealer of death" he answered, whilst making flambouyant hand gestures. Dante coughed a bit and than said "Most, just call me an assasin, or bounty hunter, or Mercenary. Pick your poisen and call me such."

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

Starcey's stomach did a kick-flip and olleyed into a pit at Dante's response. It started out so ordinary - an utterly normal comment about his life's journey to the world of fashion design, or accounting - but then he so innocently tossed out words like "death" and "assassin", that the sudden reality of what she was about to do astounded her.

She was going to leave the only world she'd ever known, a world steeped in magic and safe from harsher realities, for a seemingly dangerous and lawless place, where lives were a commodity to be bought and sold for cold hard cash.

Starcey paused, choking momentarily on something, and was reminded of her mother's letter by Dante's reference to poison.

"Oh? Uh.. My, um. *cough* That's interesting - do you... uh.. have - nice - clientele? I mean," she said nervously, and continued, "Not that... nevermind."

He raised an eyebrow at Starcey. He had forgotten that killing generally wasn't socially acceptable. "Well my clients, can be ah...interesting" he said trying to calm her down "Uhm...I don't kill all of them, sometiems I just take them to the police..."

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

Starcey realized it was her father's world, the world in which she was conceived. The world her parents fled when she was three. It was the world she had been denied, and the world she wanted to see for herself and decide whether to join or to shun.

It was a shock to suddenly be confronted with it, safely on Micc in the safe vicinity of Lao-Tzu, having expected to enter this world literally from a space-ship. On the other hand, she could appreciate the teaspoon of this other reality before being dunked in the real thing.

Starcey gathered herself. "Cool, alright. Then it seems like we all have something to do on Cerania. When are we leaving?"

RE: Of Spaceport Markets


Starcey's reaction to Dante's distasteful career was promising.  If she felt hesitant even at the mention of the sorts of things that went on in the kind of company her father held, then seeing the reality could spur her to see the fundamental flaws in that way of life.

Lao-tzu had watched the conversation with earnest interest and now said, "Having taken the quick way here, no one in the surrounding villages is expecting me for quite some time. If no one has an objection, let us leave at once after Raelan has shown us the demonstration he has prepared."

The self-taught nature of Raelan's magic definitely piqued Lao-tzu's curiosity. He had a hunch that there might be something to be learned about Liandrin crystal, which were extremely challenging elements in magical crafting.
