To Perranor They Went

They were in hyperspace now, a few minutes into the trip. Alex gazed over at one of the monitors, reading how long the trip would take. 'Eh, only Nine hours and Forty-two minutes.. Not bad.' Alex thought to himself, as he got up and stretched. He walked into the kitchen, looking for some grub to help fill his empty stomache. He dug through the fridge, finding nothing he wanted to eat, so he just grabbed a package of ready-to-cook ramen noodles. He didn't bother boiling water or anything; he just tore open the pack and started biting off pieces, occaisionally sprinkling some of the seasoning on the bite he would take.

Marcus walked in, looked at Alex and laughed. "The frag you laughin' at?" Alex yelled with mock anger, flinging a piece of noodle at him. "Nothin', just laughin' at the captain eating poor-man potato chips." Marcus said, slapping Alex on the shoulder as he made his way to the cabinet and grabbed his own pack. They stood there munching, talking about what they might do once they got back on Perranor.

RE: To Perranor They Went

Valerie watches the crew's antics through the doorway for a minute, in surprise and amusement. She tosses her suitcase in a corner and enters the kitchen.

Valerie: Judging from your current meal, I'll guess you don't have anything for me.

She pauses.

Valerie: If I'm riding with you for ten hours, might as well introduce myself.

She holds out her hand to shake.

Valerie: I'm Valerie.

RE: To Perranor They Went

Alex smiles, and grabs her hand in a shake. "My name's Alex Williams. Don't bother with calling me captain or anything, my crew takes pride in teasing me and stuff. This slow pile of slag next to me is my best friend, first mate, and whatever else I decide to call him. His name's Marcus." Marcus waves enthusiastically, unable to talk due to a large mouthful of noodles. Alex smiles and slaps him lightly, then continues talking. "And we have food. Take a look through the fridge or pantry. If you find something you like, go ahead and get your grub on. I'm just lazy today, that's all." Alex proceeds to finish off his noodles, and tosses the wrapper at Marcus. Marcus looks down at the wrapper with mock shock, and says, "Captain, you gonna pick that up?" "You touched it last! And no, I'm not gonna pick it up MOM." Alex replied, grabbing a soda from the fridge. He figured he would wait a few more hours to drink again, after getting sloshed so thoroughly at the casino.

Alex turned to Valerie, took a drink and asked her the obvious question. "So Valerie, what are you going to Perranor for? Don't answer if you don't want to, but I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours." Alex drank some more of his soda, and felt something trickling down his back. It was small and grainy... Alex looked over to see Marcus as he pulled back his arm, season packet in hand. "... Now your slightly spicy and so much more tasty!" Marcus said, and all Alex could do was shake his head and shake out the spice from his shirt.

RE: To Perranor They Went

Valerie shakes her head at the two.

Valerie: 'Tis a classic tale of murder mystery.

She opens the fridge and rummages around.

Valerie: Found a body with a notepad with some cryptic scribbling about Perrenor and some mercenary. Hey, what's new? But I'm self-destructively curious, so I'm following my nose, wherever it goes.

She blinks and raises an eyebrow. Did I just say that?

She shrugs and pulls a carton of chocolate milk out of the fridge. Expiration date is four months ago. No thanks. She sets it on top of the fridge and continues digging around.

RE: To Perranor They Went

Alex noted the milk she left on top of the fridge, and remembered that yes, that was very old milk. Alex then replied to what Valerie'd said, "Hmm, well seems like as good a reason as any. We were on Wist a few days ago, went and got a dead Marine's dad's dead ashes. Final wish was that they be spread on his home world of Perranor. That's our reason for going there."

Alex continued staring at the milk, then turned to Marcus and said, "Dude, I'll totally give you ten T to chug that." Marcus eyed the carton, turned to him and said, "I dunno... That's like four months old or something.. Make it fifty and I'll do it." Alex shook his head, saying, "Heck no, that's too much. Oh well." They continued standing around, watching Valerie rummage through the fridge looking for something. 'Probably a futile effort, though she might find something she likes.. Who knows, maybe she'll actually take something out of there that needs to be cooked, and COOK it.. Course if she's as lazy as us, doubt it.' Alex continued drinking his soda til it was empty, setting the can on the counter.

RE: To Perranor They Went

She looks at Alex.

Valerie: Wants his ashes spread on Perrenor? I don't even want to be there when I'm alive, much less have my remains left there.

She turns back to the fridge, finding a KewlWhip bowl of... noodle food? After opening the lid, she stares at it with an uneasy look on her face. Finally, she turns to the nearby microwave and pops it in. I should probably boil it first or something. Oh well.

She sets it to cook far longer than is necessary.

Valerie: What exactly do you do? Carting around me and someone's ashes is some combo.

Her eyes keep wandering to the empty can on the counter. She finally attacks it, crushing it and throwing it in the overflowing trash can by the counter.

RE: To Perranor They Went

Little to their knowlege, someone else was already in hyperspace, following just half an hour behind them. Earlier when they had met, Dan had planted a small tracking device on Valerie, almost sure that she would try to ditch him..And she did. Dan had a large device clamped around his ship, on rent from Vansid Aerospace Rentals Inc., allowing him to enter hyperspace for much longer periods of time than his ship would normally allow. Knowing it would be a long trip, Dan throws on the AC, the radio, and then puts his head back to take a nap, letting the navicomputer pilot the ship to their destination.

RE: To Perranor They Went

Alex watched in amusemeant as Valerie obliterated the can, then tried to put it in the trash can to no avail. He then replied to her question to him, concerning what he exactly does. "Well, pretty much anything. We're a cross between mercenary, courier, cargo hauler, transport, and pretty much any other title that can be freelance and make us money." Alex also noticed the food she had put in the microwave. He wasn't sure exactly WHAT it was, but was almost positive it wouldn't give her food poisoning, or cancer...

Alex took a few steps across the room, to the range that they had. Above it was a vent that Alex turned on, normally used to keep steam from filling up the room while cooking, Alex and the crew regularly used it to smoke under. Wasn't exactly supposed to be used for that, but it worked well enough. Alex drew a smoke forth and lit it, taking a long drag off it. He then turned to Valerie, and asked her, "So, since you asked me, I'll ask you. What do you do? What do you do to survive out here?" Alex took another drag, then realizing his rudeness, pointed to the smoke in his hand and asked, "By the way, do you mind Valerie?"

RE: To Perranor They Went

Valerie shrugs at the cigarette.

Valerie: It's your ship. As for what I do... I'm a bounty hunter.

She takes off her coat, revealing her shoulder holsters and belt-clipped daggers. Susan makes some comment about Light! Fresh air! Valerie tucks the coat under her arm. A moment later, the microwave dings and she removes the bowl of noodles. She's not exactly sure why she's eating, especially this stuff, since she just had a fairly large sandwich about an hour ago, but whatever. Maybe watching those guys eating raw Ramen made her hungry.

Valerie: I follow the money and... drift. I guess.

She glances out the kitchen doorway.

Valerie: Where will I be spending the next nine hours?

RE: To Perranor They Went

"Just being courteous." Alex said, ashing into the garbage can. "And bounty hunter eh? Pretty exciting sounding. You do look the type though." Alex said. 'Not a lot different than us I'd say,' Alex thought to himself, 'Follow the money and drift...' Valerie snapped him back to reality, asking where she'd stay. "We have a few spare beds. They're located all in the same room so to speak, but we have a few privacy curtains up for well, privacies sake." Alex snuffed out the ciggarette and said to her, "Here, I'll show you real quick." And with that, he walked to the door and waited for her to follow him to the cramped, but fairly comfortable quarters.
