Juch — Yesterday at 5:00 PM
The heavy breathing from the gas mask stared at the attendant for a moment longer than it was necessary before slowly moving to pocket the emblem. Despite her nervous friendliness, he gave her no more than a curt nod. With his grip tightening on the briefcase, he turned back towards Nelgae and Nier, the latter of whom almost immediately clasped his hand - probably to ensure no one looks at the counterfeit too closely - before dragging him along.
The man took a glance over his shoulder at the massive insectoid and the attendant before the Arlian gave the okay. The glowing red eyes moved down towards his other hand, which seemed almost fused to Nier's at this point, "Okay," was the singular tone given by the masked man, before he fell in line behind Nelgae, presumably with Nier right by his side.
He didn't seem very talkative, but if it was Juch underneath the mask, then it was most likely by choice until they got to their destination. Still, his gaze moved around, taking in the scenery, as if to say "so, this is Planet Frieza" as they moved through the port and presumably out into the streets.
Rei — Yesterday at 9:07 PM
Nelgae indeed guided them to the streets, before the insectoid grunted as he looked around. It was rare to see him here, but he doubted that many would have stared. Now it seemed that those here wanted to know why he had went into the station. The girl, some had seen that night, but the giant ant was not seen here often.
One of the more elderly came over and looked between them as he placed a hand over his mouth as he started to think. "Y'headed anywhere in particular, young'n?" Not that he had any room to speak around the ancient Klaxxi, but he continued, "I believe your blue haired companion said ta-" Nel turned and looked at Nier, who shook her head no.
"Fatality" would have been a way to say what happened to the old man, as he was grabbed and thrown in one swift motion. Outside of the town. Most likely he was smashed against the snow line on impact, and was more than argueably dead. "Anyone else feel like getting in our way?" The townspeople scattered like roaches as he grunted and they continued on thier way. "Since I killed him, I'm sure his family will get some sort of compensation," he muttered as they made their way towards a nice looking restaurant.
Juch — Yesterday at 9:20 PM
Foooore!
The masked man followed the trajectory of the disappearing alien over the rooftops before his form disappeared with nary a word. That was impressive. Both in the strength of the massive Nelgae as well as the decisive decision he made against the old man.
Loose lips sink ships and the curiosity of the surrounding civilians may lead to unforeseen and unintended consequences. And with the example being made of, the remainder of the onlookers scurried away.
Fear and power; it seemed that such tactics were commonplace even on the capital planet.
And while it was brutal in a way, it was the most straightforward way to handle it, "Cossst of doing busssinesss," came the choking voice from underneath the mask with a small nod as the restaurant came into view.
Hm, certainly had the markings of quality all over it. Given the numerous sorts of races all on the planet, it would be curious to see what cuisine or tastes the establishment would cater to, "Doesss that," the masked man continued, referring to what happened to the old man with a small gesture over his shoulder as they continued to walk, "happen often?"
Rei — Yesterday at 11:17 PM
Nier tilted her head at the question, but she decided to respond for her master, "Not until we come to a town that we are not known in." It was rare not to know about the giant bug that walked around completely fine on a frozen planet, but such was his reputation. They had chosen this town for a few reasons, but one of them actually had to do with work. Reservations were not hard to get, after all, for a member of the PTO.
Nel looked back and gave the masked man a smile. "Inside is all for us today. I've made sure that the staff are blind." That wasn't a threat, the staff were not the type to have eyes. The name of the resturant then made sense, as it came into view: A Taste of Sightless Glory. It was prefect for their needs, and with the funds from his arena days, he had reserved all the tables for their meeting time. Well, Nier had done so, but it was under his name.
As they entered, the bug gave his name, and they were quickly shown to the middle, in a rather nicely done room. It was safe, especially with all three people within. The waiter seemed to emit waves, which showed that they used echo location. They were rather androgynous, but that didn't bother the two from the PTO. "Care to start with a drink?" They already had meals ready, but they would get the drink order first. Juch's order was waited on, as the person placed menus in front of them all. No prices listed.
Juch — Yesterday at 11:31 PM
"Hmm," the masked man gave a small nod at Nier's explanation; a planet was a large place, after all.
His gaze lingered on the restaurant's name. How peculiar, but how interesting. His gaze turned over to Nier's, "...the whole place is reserved? You have exceeded my expectations."
The price tag that came with it couldn't have been small - and they had insisted that it was their treat this time too. My, my, what to do, what to do?
Giving Nier's hand a small squeeze in appreciation, he followed Nelgae inside. The Arlian certainly wasn't just saying that in jest; the staff was literally like that. He hadn't seen such a race before. Fascinating.
Placing his briefcase down onto the ground by his side, he sat down in the chair; unfolding the menu, he peered at the options. His clawed finger tapped at one of the options in particular. Rum, dry ice, with some ingredients that he was unfamiliar with - could be worth a try. Turning to the waiter, he placed his order before turning back to Nelgae and Nier, "This is a wonderful place. I will definitely remember this," he spoke as he reached back to remove his mask.
A hiss, and then Juch's usual smiling face emerged from the smoke.
Rei — Yesterday at 11:35 PM
As they had thought, but it was without much of a gasp. It seemed that the waiter didn't even mind, as they didn't even flich. Like a true professional, they took the orders: juice for Nier, water for Nel, and a smile as they repeated the order back to Juch before they departed. "Did you have an easy trip?" Nier asked as she relaxed and splayed herself over the table a bit.
Juch — Yesterday at 11:38 PM
Juch twisted his neck a bit, as if sorting out some muscles that he did not possess; however, as he continued to speak, it remained in that garbled sound like from the mask, "It was straightforward; much easier than I thought it would be. Thanks for asking."
Nier already began to loosen her posture a bit and the android chuckled, reaching down to open up the briefcase, "Here you go, could you verify the authenticity of this amber?"
In a glass box, a piece of Arlian Amber the size of a fist was displayed.
Rei — Yesterday at 11:42 PM
Nel looked down at it before he tapped the piece of glass. Depending on how sensitive the android was to psychic energy, he'd feel a little wave as the bug nodded his head. "This is, without a doubt, the amber that I seek." The Arlian waited patient for Juch as he withdrew a pouch that his small arms had held, out of sight.
Nier giggled as she turned over in her seat to look up. Music started to play, a classical set as the musicians somewhere within played it. It sounded almost like Earth music, but that was with the notes that cut in gently that added a secondary hum effect.
Nelgae: 670
