Checking the corpses

[Sur'tra Sunblade]

Sur'tra's face begins to heat. Not only was this foreign interloper talking openly of theft, but this was her own servant. Her very property.

"Be careful v'hat you say next, servant. The honor of the Valkyri is not so easily set aside. Ve vill not be stealing a ship." Sur'tra's hand went to the handle of the sun blade to make her point.

Nearby, another Valkyri trader overhears their conversation. He is fat and fair of hair, with beard braided in the tradition of the Valkyri, and a smith's hat. "Your servant's dishonor dishonors you, Sur'tra. V'hat tribe vas he captured from?"

Sur'tra turns her back on the droid to address the man. "He has no tribe," she answers honestly, "I caught him impersonating an enemy on the battlefield, pretending to be dead. He offered to be my servant, so I allow him to live. I am hoping he vill learn honor by example."

The smith nods. "You vere merciful. But mercy has its limits. I trust you vill not allow your servant to dishonor your chieftain."

Sur'tra nods to the blacksmith, gritting her jaw in anger at his intended slight.

 

[Mr. Blood Bones]

He stood there, silent as he looks back at him, then her, searching through his records again, seeing that the ship was free, up for grabs, as he smiled. He'd drop the camouflage, and rises above the height of both [member="Sur'tra Sunblade"] and the Blacksmith.

​"Master, I hope you understand that the ship has been up for grabs from the spaceport since The owner had gone into seclusion."

"The Government of the planet wishes for anyone to take the ship, at any time, with no charge."

"So please, Come with me, Master, if you wish to own a ship for Free."

He'd continue his movements towards where The Ship is, Wishing he had the combat capabilities to break the Blacksmiths pathetic, organic neck for getting involved in something that was none of his concern, and ruined his operations.

 

[Rowena Aesir]

[invited in]

The world was somewhat different, in truth Rowena hadn't been into a city for a long time. She kne where they were but since she usually came back from Voss or the other worlds like Toola and Rhen Var it gave her a chance to go around with some fo the Valkyri as the large woman looked over more of the area. Her coat using the specialized synthmesh with furs same as her shield and battle axe. They were also lighter weight which let her carry more of it as she looked around hearing things with the thick blonde braids of her hair. Someone mentioned the words clan before she was going over to look at more of the space. "Is everything alright." She was moving towards meeting with the blacksmith to check the equipment and her specialized robes. The silver watch had their own version but she had made a personalized one. The smith could look at it with her equipment they had developed for her.

 

[Mr. Blood Bones]

(No worries)

He made his way to the ship, as He looked around for anyone who he could get the keys of the ship from. he finds a man, standing around, waiting for someone, or something, to talk to him.

"Excuse me Sir, but I am here to commandeer this ship. Do you have the means of activating and using it?"

"Eh, here...I don't care...Just take the old Rust bucket."

He'd hand Blood bones the keys and leaves, now making his way to the exit, where he'll pass [member="Rowena Aesir"] and [member="Sur'tra Sunblade"]. Blood Bones would stand at the loading ramp, waiting for his Master to follow.

Spoiler

OOC That's someone's intellectual property, OOC. My no means no.

You broke the roleplay agreement we made, stole someone's IP, ignored warnings, god-moded in battle and in purchases, and seem to believe you are entitled to my participation. I am disassociating from you.

Fed up with her disobedient servant, Sur'tra turns from the droid and leaves the hangar. "You are no longer under my protection, alien," she says to it as she leaves it behind.

Sur'tra turns to [member="Rowena Aesir"] to share a moment of cultural recognition. The droid is no longer Sur'tra's problem. "Yours if you want it," says Sur'tra. "Otherwise, want to show me around the port?"

 

[Rowena Aesir]

Rowena looked at the droid and... noped out of it. Technology beyond what was in her house to make it was and the essentials were fine but she disliked other things. Staying around while she stood there and the man was looking at the axe itself seeing how light and balanced it was with her shield but the strength of the mterials was impressive before she looked at the woman standing there. "I have no use for machines, they fumble around and are loud when traveling around to some fo the worlds with the other valkyri teams." A number of them were out and working with on Rhen Var to explore it and Toola where the massive whiphids were when she got her axe back and put it on her back along with her shield.

 

[Sur'tra Sunblade]

[member="Rowena Aesir"] and Sur'tra walk for a while while they acquaint themselves to each other. Sur'tra finally admits, she is at a loss for how to get to Voss.

"Do you have a... star ship? Can ve go together to Voss so I can find my papa?" she asks the more experienced traveler. "I vill pay my passage, of course," she adds as an afterthought. She wonders if she'll need to take her steed with her or if there will even be stables on the boat--err, the ship--the star ship.

 

[Rowena Aesir]

[member="Sur'tra Sunblade"]

Rowena looked at her and raised an eyebrow but she was fine with it getting a small grin on her face as she brought her hand up and tapped her on the shoulder. "That is fine then, there are transports here at the port." She pointed off the ways and they would be able to go and see about it. She was moving with all of her stuff and the different meads that had been made by valkyri with Saori for all of them. The sparkbee honey also made a chance to really get drunk from it as she was walking. "Some we shall drink the new meads that have been getting worked on and made for everyone. Different berries and types of honey that have been developed for all of us to drink."

 

[Sur'tra Sunblade]

[member="Rowena Aesir"]'s manners shame Sur'tra--so soon after meeting, Sur'tra had suggested they follow the Star Dragon Road, but they were both still sober. That was not the Valkyri way.

Linking arms with her new friend, Sur'tra and Rowena make haste to taste of mead from one another's lips, as is the custom for new allies in Midvinter, and especially on Solstice day.

 

[Rowena Aesir]

[member="Sur'tra Sunblade"]

The different meads while going the way for the ship were there and perfect. She looked at the woman and remained looking around. "That droid isn't going to be a problem is it?" She didn't care really but she knew the others usually reported to the family and the queen cared about the people. It was one fo the ways she had been found and come out of the wilderness after all. "The vinterbound are dangerous enough, something that doesn't go down from a blade can be annoying as can unneeded technology on the world." She took a sig and held the bottle in her hand while offering the one for the other. Seeing the ship in the distance with some of the valkyrie and the watch in their fur robes with larger swords.

 

[Sur'tra Sunblade]

[member="Rowena Aesir"] and Sur'tra trade bottles as they enjoy mead tasting together. "That droid isn't going to be a problem is it?" asks Rowena.

"I think ve have seen the last of that covard," Sur'tra answers, adding, "Skål!" and smiling as she takes another sip of mead and, beckoning the other warrior, offers the taste from her lips to the other warrior in a kiss. Rowena could either accept this gesture, or Sur'tra would just shrug, swallow, and take another swig.

 

[Rowena Aesir]

[member="Sur'tra Sunblade"]

She looked at her and joined in it, getting the kiss to swap and try the mead with a bow of her head as the large woman kissed her. THinking about it but she couldn't really think of the droid being a problem in most cases. it might be annoying and she was unsure of what might be happening with it but going for the holiday here to the large transports as she brought her head back and the large valkyri shook her head to give a look back. "I doubt he will be a problem." She stuck with a couple other things before walking. "Hmm very good, so what is bringing you to Voss? It is a good place but Rhen Var is where many of the others go. Plenty of different beings to fight there."

 

[Sur'tra Sunblade]

[member="Rowena Aesir"] asks Sur'tra about Voss, but Sur'tra does not know what she can say in such a place--and after drinking. But, surely, she can trust someone who has shared the mead kiss.

"I vill be looking for my papa, who vas taken, possibly killed, by aliens," she ultimately says.

Sur'tra gestures to her lightsaber. "The Sun Blade and a journal are all I have left of my papa.... Vell... that and his good looks!" Sur'tra smiles. Many Valkyri laugh. It was a common enough joke in the places she frequented--Sur'tra does not look Valkyri. But she had proven herself time and again in battle to be Valkyri in her heart. So such jokes had no bite.

"Perhaps, after, I vill go to this... Rhen Var. Or before, if that's v'here you're going?" Sur'tra smiles at the other warrior, clapping her on the arm.

 

[Rowena Aesir]

[member="Sur'tra Sunblade"]

She gave a nod of her head and was motioning to getting onto the transport. "Well then we shall be able to look, there are a lot of people on Voss but they are of good conscious and willing to help anyone who needs it." Rowena was walking and as she moved onto the ship pushing her hair back over her shoulder. Where there were others all sitting around with weapons and large casks on the table. Different biots were walking around as they looked human enough but weren't as she well knew once you looked at the back of their necks where there was an uplink for jacking into ships and other droids. Rowena sat down while spekaing with the others when larger steins were being brought out. "Come we are here in time before they leave for Voss."

 

[Sur'tra Sunblade]

Sur'tra takes a few more sips of mead before following Rowena out to her ship. She gets on board, noting the group of well-armed people at the table and what Sur'tra assumes must be beer casks. She asks about the biots. "Vat are these? Are they men, or...? Some kind of alien technology like the... droid? Are they alive?"

Sur'tra makes a connection in her mind between the men sitting around drinking and the biots walking around. "You don't have to steer the star ship, do you? Ve can just hang around here vith these aliens on board steering. Like slaves pulling the oars. So... you vant to drink more, I take it? I vould prefer to see more of your ship, to understand its vorkings. Or ve could spar, if you vant!"

Sur'tra worries about drinking too much. She does not want to be abducted like her father was. She shakes her head--she's been hanging out with Rowena long enough--she would know if the woman meant her any harm by now. They had shared mead, after all. Perhaps, one day, the aliens' culture would have a chance shock her--but not yet. This was a Valkyri ship.

 

[Rowena Aesir]

[member="Sur'tra Sunblade"]

Slaves was a strong word given they were made much like droids just happened they could look organic. "Not my ship, the pilots that they have working on many of the things. I know these beings are made to maintain and fly the ship whille defending it if someone should become dangerous or a problem." She was looking at it and the other valkyri that were on the ship had weapons and equipment that tey had brought out. Supplies they had brought over to Midvinter and were bringing back. "There is a great deal here so it doesn't have to be worked on. If you want to spar though." Rowena said it while she was looking at it and she had her axe and shield with her cloak.

 

[Sur'tra Sunblade]

Sur'tra shrugs. "I don't know v'hat people do on these ships. This vill be my first voyage off-vorld. But I vill be vanting to see all of the technology on board. I am alvays tinkering, and I should learn vhat keeps this ship moving among the stars...."

Sur'tra's mind is filled with wonders. She loves Midvinter, but a chance to see the galaxy is not something most Valkyri probably dream about. If they could make men from metal, what else could they make?

"By the vay, I'm vondering vhy you choose to use an axe instead of a blaster. Ve still use svords and shields on Midvinter, but ve are in the vorld of vars among the stars now. I vas thinking of buying a blaster vhen ve reach Voss."

 

[Rowena Aesir]

[member="Sur'tra Sunblade"]

Rowena gave the woman a look and there was a grin on her face as she pulled the axe and shield out. Showing off the sasori synth mesh that had been weaved into it with the bone and leather for the shield and the sword was refined silver blood diamong with the synth mesh that would be able to function. "Blasters are fair but these weapons will only become stronger with age from what has been said and the end of the blade is sharpened to the point it will be able to easily cleave anyone who could be trouble. The special properties added to the metal make it so anyone with blood coursing through their veins can become sick and will be disabled in a fight. It also easily counters those energy blades the sith use."

 

[Sur'tra Sunblade]

[member="Rowena Aesir"] shows her weapon to Sur'tra, mentioning the energy weapons of... the Sith? Who or what is a Sith, Sur'tra does not know. She is more interested in the question of practical combat.

"But if ve charge against those with blasters--von't they just shoot us over and over again before we can get close to them?" Sur'tra looks around at the biots. "Is there a training droid ve could use to demonstrate? Something that vould be able to shoot from a distance?"

 

[Rowena Aesir]

[member="Sur'tra Sunblade"]

She motioned to the shield and it had a look on it same as the robes. "These will protect from all but the strongest weapons that have been created. Not even these metal men of the mandalorians can withstand it." She set them on her back again while walking and pulled on the robes. "These can protect from the blasters and easily get me in close to chop them up." She disliked the guns but there were bows she had seen developed by the jedi that functioned to give a slug thrower like feel to things. Rowena was walking through the ship seeing more of it for herself popping and cracking her arms with a nod of her head. "THis though, this ship is a good place to practice and when you get to Voss there is a number of wonders."
