The Drunkard With a Plan

[Doctor Azure]

Lorane shrugged at the silence, and dropped himself back onto his bed to wait, letting his mind wander. Besides the fact that he didn't imagine Roxy had many other friends, if she had anybody else who'd willingly put up with her, why had she called him? Did she actually need a place to sleep, or was she here to make it easier to do her job, or was she just here to tease him? Judging from any time he'd run into her in the past four years, it could've been anything.​

The shower was a blissful connection with water and a rarity for Roxy. While closing her eyes and tilting her head to have the cool liquids spray on her face, she couldn't help but to think of the new missions she had found on the Holonet for her to be assigned to. It didn't help that she didn't have a reasonable transportation, - or a ship at all. She rubbed her eyes a few times, then slowly turned off the water and patted herself off before dressing. She made a choice to steal one of Doc's ships. He was rich enough for it, right?​

As Roxy walked out with a bed of wet hair clinging to her head, she gently took a few steps to Doc and gave a friendly little smile.​

​

"Hey Doc, care to show me around before I head to work?"​

 

[Doctor Azure]

Lorane looked up at Roxy as she came out of the bathroom and walked over to him. Her hair dripped all over him as he got up and grinned at her. His jet boots locked onto his feet and knees, and he tapped the blonde girl on the nose again.​

​

"Yeah, let's go on a little tour. Might see something you like. Just ask me before you steal 'em... please?"​

​

The Chiss ruffled Roxy's hair, getting some water on himself, and walked out into the hallway.​

​

"Just gonna stand there looking pretty, or you gonna come see all the lovely toys?"​

Roxy hastily followed with her plan deep screwed into her mind. She kept her little fake smile on, thinking of all the things she could do with his personal items. A ship, all to herself, once she stole it. Now that would be a story.​

Lorane looked at Roxy's little smile, happily knowing that the majority of his tech was either voice or fingerprint-coded to himself alone. His ships weren't, mostly because they had nothing of value onboard, and his piloting skill wasn't far above that of a drunk bantha. And he could track her down if he wanted, right? It was like she always wanted him to find her.​

​

He walked her into a room that displayed a large variety of slugthrowers and explosives. A room full of beautiful weapons that wouldn't be activated by anybody but him. Lorane was a good mad scientist like that. All his guns could only get their safeties disengaged by whoever had their security information imprinted on the gun's chip. Good luck using them, even if you stole them.​

​

"Enchanting, isn't it?"​

Roxy quietly looked at the machinery, tilting her head lightly. The thing about Roxy is, even if, she wanted to steal the weapons, she would sell them for personal purposes rather than using them. She never really wanted to use them herself. She slowly walked up to a wall and tilted her head to the other side, then jolted out her finger to the gun, acting interested.​

​

"Looks like polish. Do you polish your weapons?"​

​

[Doctor Azure]

"Yeah, some of 'em. Not the pistols, because they don't need to look pretty. These, though..."​

​

Lorane shrugged and pointed towards another room, which actually led out to the small hangar where his personal transport and the small little Firespray patrol ship he owned were both housed.​

​

"Ships are in there, if you wanna see 'em."​

Roxy looked over a few of the guns, with some curiosity. She would probably ask to use one a little later after she returned the ship, if she returned a ship. She followed Doctor along, looking into the hanger with a small tilted head. Ships, nice. That's what she was looking for in the first place.​

​

"I never flown a ship before. These look like newbie ships."​

​

[member="Doctor Azure"]​

 

[Doctor Azure]

"The transport is the one I fly for practice. I'm not that good of a pilot, myself."​

​

Lorane gestured towards said ship, walking away from the hangar to go put his jacket on. What was she gonna do, steal the transport? It was kind of a big ship, right? It would be obvious if he actually went looking for it, anyway. And he'd follow her and get it back, anyway. So, whatever.​

Roxy stared at the ship for a short moment, until Doctor walked away, then she went to the door and made a quick attempt to open it. Even if she did got caught, she could cover it. She look a glance for the door Doctor walked out, planning to make a quick and easy exit out and figure out a way to get the ship ready for take-off into the deeper space.​

 

[Doctor Azure]

Lorane thought he heard the sound of a ship's hatch being opened, but didn't really pay attention. His mind was a bit more set on finding wherever he'd tossed his jacket last night. Dammit, where'd he put it? He walked into the kitchen, wondering if that's where it was. And there! He found it. Looking around, he wondered where Roxy had gone.​

​

Roxy worked as fast as she could, frantically closing the hatch and adjusting the pressure control. It wasn't too many part seconds before the engines were starting up, and straining to get into the air for take-off. Goodbyyye Doctor!​

 

[Doctor Azure]

And then the engine noise made it pretty obvious that Lorane was an idiot. Roxy had stolen his ship... Of course she had stolen his ship. But the Firespray was faster... And what could be easier than tracking down a girl who wanted to be tracked down? The Chiss heard himself laugh as the engine noises receded.​

​

"You could've just asked, you idiot... The answer would've been yes..."​

​

((To asteroids we goooooooooo!))​
