The setting sun left an orange hue on the city of Marona. Ships flew through the clouds as people hurried across the streets and into buildings below. A younger man with a thick brown mustache pulled on his white gloves after dusting off his suit. He took quick long strides through the city until he reached a tall bronze tinted building.

“Good evening, Luciola,” an older man in a security suit stood to greet him; his belly shook slightly as he rose. “Going up to the old bat?” he laughed. Luciola ignored him, making his way to the elevator.

“Well…” The chair made a sound of near agony as the guard plopped down into it again.

The lift chimed once for each of the twenty floors on the way to the top of the tall building, till at least he reached the twenty first floor. The lift slowed to a halt and the door pulled open with a hiss. Amber light poured into the lift and Luciola stepped off, the doors closing behind him.

“Well,” he spoke into the low light nervously. “I delivered your message.”
“And?”
“And they’ve agreed to broadcast it.”
“Then why are you here?”
“Well…” he took a deep breath. “They’re skeptical. They don’t think you have the money.”

There was no reply, only a barely audible laugh from an armchair across the room.

“Luciola,”
“Yes, Ma’am?”
“Tea.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”

The room was left silent for some time as the servant busied himself in the kitchen. An old woman sat at the window. Her face was gaunt and ashen, framed by thick white curls. She stared down at the blanket on her lap, playing with the tassels with bony fingers.

“How many do you expect will show up?” The woman jumped slightly at the servant’s appearance. She gave him an empty smile and took the cup from his silver tray, resting it on her lap.

“Too many I imagine.” She held the cup to her lips, gingerly testing the temperature.

“Are you sure you should have offered so many accommodations?” the servant sat in a nearby chair, now looking more like a visiting friend than a butler.

“Oh, I know I have, but I can afford it; even more so when they retrieve the capsule.”
“You should have just offered a reward.”
“I expect for the amount the reward is they will need compensation for repairs; I’m willing to offer that. It’s a dangerous outing, and I don’t expect them to be clean players, considering our demographic.”

“You’re too generous for your own good…” the butler gave her a worried look.The woman sighed and took a silent sip of tea.

“Some of those smugglers are dangerously rich.” Luciola growled.
“Yes, but it’s restricted space, and dangerous at that. There’s no way I could retrieve the capsule legally.”
“But you’re paying for fuel, repairs, stipends, as well as offering a hefty reward!” He sat back in his chair. “You’re going overboard.”

She glared at him over her cup of tea. “I will only pay for sixty applicants,” She was now sitting up with a hand gripping the arm of the chair, staring at him fiercely. “This will be such a financial benefit for me; it would undoubtedly pay for this expedition tenfold and be a large profit for my company.”

“I still feel it’s an unwise move!” Luciola was now sitting forward in his chair too.

“I employed you to make me tea, not to tell me how to run my company!” She sat back in her chair, uncommonly pale now. “It won’t be long before it’s all over, and if the capsule is not retrieved, I will at least die doing something…”

The room was covered in dark now that the sun had set.
“You’re getting much more like a friend than a butler.” She laughed. “I might fire you for that.”


This is a role play I've been wanting to do for eons and I finally have a chance to post it. The only thing I require for this RP is that you have a ship and a crew to participate, it must be three or more to a crew.

This is basically a bounty hunting role play, the only rules are that if you intend on killing someone else's character you must tell them first and get them to agree. You are allowed to steal whatever you want from them, including holding characters hostage. By all means, play dirty.

I've been recruited.
Just one of the many stages of self denial.

I'm in on this, if Boss-man gets the Salty Dog involved.

You'll need at least three characters, Alissa.

You are allowed to have more than one crew, but no federations or anything. That's just lame. >_>

[EDIT]
If you have any ideas or plans that don't work in the rules I laid out feel free to PM me so we can discuss them and find a way to make them work.
