Intergalactic Noirtican hostel, Oct 29th pilot_zero_two October 30 2010, 03:24:15 UTC

[Duo has slept in his clothes and he's not sure he wants to shower yet, because he has nothing else to wear and if he does, then he's going to have to pull his dirty clothes right back on when he's finished.]

[Also, he doesn't have his towel. 8(]

So, anyone come up with a brilliant plan since last night?

haruno October 30 2010, 04:22:55 UTC

[ Sakura looks up from where she's been resewing her dress into shorts for their raincoat clad fellow refugee. ]

Other than checking to see if any of our credit lines work, nothing brilliant. We can check out if anyone's traveling to the sector the ship's supposed to be in now. Maybe barter our way on?

[ she grimaces, tying off her stitch. ]

I'd say stow away, but...

pilot_zero_two October 30 2010, 04:33:02 UTC

Ugh...yeah. And I don't even know about bartering. Some of the people I talked to last night make our friend back at the travel office seem downright accommodating.

...Maybe we could hitchhike...

haruno October 30 2010, 04:37:23 UTC

How many of us are there? Close to eight? Eight of us hitchhiking might be a stretch, but... maybe?

[ she looks a little lost for a moment LMFAO SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT THAT REALLY IS LIKE ASDKJSAD ]

How would you go about hitchhiking through space?

pilot_zero_two October 30 2010, 04:54:22 UTC

We'd need an Electric Thumb to start, I guess.

[a pause]

Actually, first we'd need some money to buy one with. Fff...

[He closes his eyes and scrubs his hands over his face. When he looks back up, his eyes are alight with the fires of DETERMINATION! 8|]

So! Before we do anything else, we'd probably better get ourselves some resources.

haruno October 30 2010, 05:38:17 UTC

[ She sets down the finished "boxers" and breathes in deep. He's right, and -- she's not the sort to back down from a challenge. ]

We already have us, so we're not starting off all that bad.

[ and she smiles, though she's sober on this point. ]

Contacts we don't have, unless one of us is better connected than I know of right now. If we can work on those, and maybe finding a way to get whatever currency we need -- for food, if nothing else, the cake's not going to last past today -- then we're starting in the right direction. The sooner we can get off planet, the sooner we get back to the Thor.

[ The less they have to test the being kept alive by the drive theory. ]

Stuffing her in this room too? its_a_promise October 30 2010, 05:43:52 UTC

[Soifon's sitting over in one corner cross-legged, her sword (sheathed) across her lap.]

Stowing away seems to be the best option without resorting to serious criminal activity, no matter how you look at it.

If we could get the refugees organized, we could task small groups to certain problems.

The more the merrier! pilot_zero_two October 30 2010, 06:56:22 UTC

If we're gonna stow away, we're going to have to be careful about it. Some people'd consider that a crime, too. And no one'd know if they jettisoned us if they catch us.

...Organizing first, though. I don't have my laptop, so I'm kind of limited with what kind of hacking I can do. I, uh...[He hesitates, looking vaguely embarrassed, before continuing on]...can try pickpocketing as an alternative, though. What about you two?

DEFAULT ICON TIME sorry guys haruno October 30 2010, 07:13:19 UTC

[ If he was going to bring up pickpocketing... Sakura grimaces. ]

If we really need sleight of hand, I can... help with that.

[ it just grates against everything else. ninjas are honest for all the fact you could buy one to assassinate your neighbor. ]

There's a lot I can do -- healing in exchange for funds, getting set up for something like the boxing we see on ship, rustling people over arm wrestling...

[ which she's done before ahahaha looking up a the ceiling SO INTERESTING ]

Arranging flowers, though I don't think that'll help much at all.

This party is not compatible with Lawful-Neutral alignment its_a_promise October 30 2010, 07:21:15 UTC

[Stowing away, she can deal with. Theft? Well... given the situation...]

[Dire need clashing with letter-of-the-law enforcer here.]

If... we must resort to theft, it will be easy for me. I could also assist in fighting or strength competition for money. [After all, who would think they'd lose to a one-armed 4'9" woman?]

Noirtica has oceans or bays, doesn't it? Some of use could fish or hunt.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, sadly. 8( pilot_zero_two October 30 2010, 07:38:30 UTC

...Both of you, huh?

[How did he get stranded with a pair of tiny, supernaturally strong women? ONE OF WHOM IS A NINJA AND THE OTHER HE SUSPECTS A SHINIGAMI!? what is his life 8|]

Rustling usually draws more attention than a couple of small, well-timed thefts. [Thoughtful] ...A lot of places require you to have a license before you try to fish or hunt, I think.

A NINJA-Shingami to you, mister -jacking turnorder brb- its_a_promise October 30 2010, 07:40:54 UTC

If we're resulting to theft, having a license shouldn't matter. [She was just thinking of diving into the lake or something. Screw boats.]

and just a plain ol' ninja here sob haruno October 30 2010, 07:45:18 UTC

Inventory, not suggestion. We should talk to the fox, Mieu, Anemone, and Yosuke if we want a full inventory.

[ frankly she'd prefer just getting back to dealing honestly ]

It's possible we can even hire ourselves on to someone's ship as extra crew, and get back to the Thor star-hopping that way. At the very least, we don't have to resort to outright thievery right now.

[ Sakura pushed off the bed, smoothing out her much... shorter dress, now. ]

Dubious as they sound, I checked around earlier. They've got places set up to help feed people fallen on hard times, though the people I talked to suggest we don't visit those places alone.

at least you can still ninja. this boy's a gundam pilot without his gundam. :< pilot_zero_two October 30 2010, 08:04:10 UTC

[To Soifon:] Mmm...I guess not. The penalty for getting caught'll be bad no matter what it's for.

[Lookin' good there, Sakura. ;)]

Well, we've got options. They all suck, but at least they're options. But yeah, we need to talk to the others, too.

Can he fly generic stuff Fifth-Element-style? its_a_promise October 30 2010, 08:11:08 UTC

No matter what we choose to do, we can't afford to be caught. We don't have much time as it is.

Out of a crowd of several dozen, only eight of us managed to stay together. We need to establish some way to communicate.

lmfao /can he fly it/ our new space tv show haruno October 30 2010, 08:14:45 UTC

Most citizens have better contacts. From what I overheard, we're the eight refugees who were supposed to be on that flight.

[ She's walking over to see if she can find any of the rest of their "party" up and awake. lmao wouldn't notice if you were looking, Duo.

Briefly, she looks back at Soifon and Duo. ]

Who has their Guide with them?
