RE: Questionable Means

     "Well, good for you. I can work on them in a pinch, but that is not really my prefered area of work. Not sure what else there is to do around here though." he paused, thinking to himself.

     Leo looked him over real quick, and noticed the bandage on his leg and the scales missing from his face. "Well, you're either good in a fight, or really bad in one. You could always attempt bouncing at one of the local bars. It ain't much, but it's something. Not a desk job." Leo finished.

     "Thanks for the idea. Again, not sure if that is the best place for me either. I'd wind up spending all my earnings on trying to keep my scails moist, if you know what I mean." Ishkan mimed throwing back a drink.
     "I'll have to go see if I can find something. Again, thanks for the offer. Now, you two play nice. I'll be back later." Ishkan finished, and turned towards the door.
     He paused and turned back to face Leo, "Best watch yourself. She's a fiesty one, and doesn't like politeness. Which, I get the feeling you won't have too much of a problem with that one." he winked, and continued on towards the door.

"Eh!" Tawny snapped after Ishkan as he left, the zap'ana only waved to her over his shoulder.

She narrowed her eyes. "He'll pay for that when he gets back." She muttered, all ready thinking of a plan that involved a poodle, Old music, a strobe light, and a long hooded cloak.

She turned to Leo. "What do you want me to do?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

He motioned to the ships. "I need an assessment on those two, there are forms to fill out the information behind the desk. If you need me I'll be in the back room."

With that Leo walked off towards the back while Tawny grabbed some forms before she went to the ships.

Now, with her cybernetic eye at top capacity she could probably have the ship assessments done in just over an hour.

But A: Her eye was malfunctioning a bit as of late. And B: Where was the fun in that?

With that, she pulled her gloves tight and got started.

     A couple hours later, Ishkan returned. He was a little dirty, and worn looking.
     "You two play nice while I was gone?" he asked Tawny as he plopped down in a chair not too far from her. He layed his head back, and let out a long sigh.

     The bandages around his leg were deep red in splotches, and very worn. After a moment, he looked back at Tawny.
     "Hope you had a better day than I did, anyway." he finished.

"More or less," Tawny said, scratching at some dried blood from a small gash on her forehead. "I've managed to complete the assessments for the ships and tomorrow's job is looking for some of the parts needed to start repairs."

She briefly gave Ishkan a once-over, decided he didn't need whatever petty revenge she might have come up with if she weren't so exhausted, and stood up.

Reaching into a cupboard behind the counter, Tawny pulled out some bandages. There had been a minor incident involving an electrical discharge early in the ship examinations that had resulted in her needing some bandages for her ankle. Aside from a light limp she was fine.

"C'mon," She lightly pulled his arm while handing him the roll of bandages. "I'll show you the apartment Leo's letting us stay in. After we get there you can take a bath in the oddly spacious tub/jacuzzi that it comes with."

As for her, she was going to try and figure out some more about that data-padd they had gotten.

RE: Questionable Means

     After Ishkan had taken a long soak in the jacuzzi and rebandaged his leg, he went out into the livingroom area where Tawny was working on decoding what all the datapad was able to do.

     "Huh. One bedroom. I guess we'll have to flip a coin to see who gets it." he smiled, and saw she had the datapad in her hand. "Find anything interesting on that thing yet?" he asked.

"Besides an unreasonable amount of memory capabilities? It's like these things are designed for the torment of those who use them." Tawny made a face before setting the accursed device to the side and looking at Ishkan.

"So what are your plans for tomorrow?" A smirk twitched across her lips. "Make note that as your primary physician I recommend you stay resting until your leg is healed."

RE: Questionable Means

Ishkan mumbled something under his breath as he sat down on a chair across from Tawny.
     "Well, I guess that means that I should take the bed. You know, having a bum leg and all." he said as feigned pain shot across his face. "As for what I am going to do tomorrow: I think I'll try making a couple calls before going for interviews. The couple places I went were... obviously a little rough." he finished with a sigh.

He got up again and made his way stiff leggedly into the kitchen area and opened up the refridgeration unit. It was fairly empty of anything that resembled food.
     "Oh. Maybe we should try to find somewhere to get some food." he trailed off for a minute, "If someone around here had a datapad that told them where to find such things, that'd be awesome." he looked at Tawny and smiled.

"Yeah, yeah, I can take a hint." Tawny rolled her eyes before typing her search into the datapadd.

To her surprise, lists of nearby places that sold food and such popped up within a few minutes.

She gave the device in her lap a suspiscious look.

"What the hey, technology?" She muttered incredulously, cycling through the list.

After a few minute of searching, Tawny found a few nearby places that sold food fairly cheap, no directions though.

Tawny shrugged to herself. Ah well, they weren't that far away, and she was getting hungry herself.

Getting off the couch, she stretched until her joints made a distinct cracking noise before grabbing her boots.

A few minutes later, Tawny, wearing a new jacket she had found lying around the apartment, walked out into the bustling streets, the buzz of ships flying overhead filling her ears.

Her guns and sword strapped securly to her belt, she walked down the sidewalk, occasionally checking the addresses on her datapadd for any hints as to whether or not she was getting closer.

     "Hey, wait up!" came over her shoulder as she continued walking. Ishkan hobbled after her, trying his best to catch up. "I didn't even see you leave. I guess that's what I get for having my head in the clouds." he smirked.

They continued walking, following what little clues they could find on the street that added up with what little information was on the datapad. After roughly ten minutes of walking, they finally found a building that supposedly had a food store inside.
When they stepped through the doors, Ishkan almost walked back out. The lights were dim, and some of them were blinking in a way that suggested that they wanted to go out. There was a large neon sign that read "FOOD -->" pointing to the right. Ishkan and Tawny made their way down the hallway, passing by small groups of beings of varying species that were gathered together in the hallways. Ishkan could only imagine what they were talking about, or rather, selling.

     "Nice choice." he mumbled under his breath as they found the door to the store. "I guess this is why it said the food was cheaper here."
Upon opening the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, as the inside of the shop was in much better condition than the rest of the surrounding area. It was well lit, the walls had no bullet holes, and the floors had been recently mopped. A leathery-brown alien with wings stood behind the counter. He nodded to them as they walked in.
     "Welcome to my store. We've just recently opened, and we're still trying to get in items. If you don't see something you're looking for, just let me know." he said with an odd accent, then got back to working on something behind the counter. Ishkan didn't recognize his species, but these days that was becoming more usual.

Tawny and Ishkan split up and went down different isles with baskets they had picked up from the front of the store. It was a small store but seemed to be well supplied in several types of food for different races. Ishkan even found a couple of food items that he hadn't seen since he'd last been on his home world, Gekel.
After ten minutes of wandering around looking at food and making his stomach growl, Ishkan went up to the front counter to pay.
     "Find everything you needed?" The odd alien asked him.
     "As a matter of fact, I did. I actually found more than I was expecting. How on earth did you get those items from Gekel?" he asked, as he emptied his basket in front of the clerk.
     "Aha! Well, I have suppliers. Nothing extraordinary." he smiled at Ishkan an rung up the items, placing them in bags.
     "Alright, one more thing. I don't mean to be rude," Ishkan paused, "but what race are you?" he asked, looking at the creatures arms that could be easily called wings.
     "I have been getting that alot. Well, I am a Linhi from the planet Meeriad. Our planet was just exposed the the galaxy, at least in terms of how time goes. We're new to the whole interstellar thing. You'll probably be seeing more of us though." he finished as he tallied up how much Ishkan owed. "Alright, that will be Tape22." he said.
Ishkan passed over the tape, collected his items, and then waited for Tawny.

RE: Questionable Means

Tawny had little trouble finding food she would like, living in the places she had lived made her anything but picky.

Her basket filled with cans, she was about to head back to the front of the store when she caught sight of something out of the corner of her eye.

Turning towards the abnormality in her vision all she caught was a brief glimpse of someone rushing around the corner.

Tawny raised an eyebrow to herself before making a snap decision and running after the person.

Turning the corner, she eyed the person in front of her, their back to her, they continued walking at a fast pace, turning another corner and disappearing from view.

Tawny followed them, the items in her basket clacking together. She turned the corner and found it to be empty.

Which wouldn't have been that strange given how quickly the person was walking, if not for the fact that the aisle was a dead end.

She walked a bit into the aisle, glancing around bemusedly before stopping whne her foot bumped into something.

Glancing down, she found a small metal orb.

Raising an eyebrow and noting absently how she had been developing a tendency to do that, she bent down a scooped it up, running her gloved fingers over it and feeling the bumpy texture.

Shrugging to herself, she slid the orb into the pocket of her new jacket and left the aisle.

With no more distractions, she made her way to the checkout to buy her food.

A sarcastic quip from Ishkan about her taking any longer was answered with a flik from her left hand before she turned her attention to the cashier.

Her total came to 24, she made small talk with the cashier, politely didn't comment on the check-out machine making "not good" noises, decided she liked him, and she and Ishkan left with their food.

After leaving the store, Tawny pulled out her datapadd and typed a few things into it.

It made a popping noise and the screen went to static

Tawny didn't speculate about what her face must have looked like, instead turning to Ishkan and giving a him a dull look.

"You wouldn't happen to remember the way back, would you?"

Admin note: Tape24 removed from Tawny's account.
