Re: Space Adventure


"Seriously?" Dustin asked, surprised. "What's the average life span then? I thought getting ninety years was pretty long. Though I figured I'd probably die in my seventies if not before." He said with a shrug.

Evan hesitated a moment before following after Karth. "Thank you." He said lightly before looking up at Karth, fiddling with his hands in a restless fashion. "What's it, um, what's it like living like this, on a spaceship that is?" He asked, sounding curious, but nervous. "Humanity as a whole doesn't really know much about space, the furthest we've managed to travel is the moon, and that was only to visit for a short while. We haven't even properly visited another planet."

Re: Space Adventure


"About one-hundred and thirty years. Three times that if you get into technology and medicine. Pretty neat, huh?" Aya said cheerfully.

"Expensive, though," Ti'ae said, polishing a metal plate and looking at his reflection in it.

"Its not like we're hurting for money," Aya pointed out with a roll of his eyes.

"Boring. Contrary to popular belief, piloting a ship isn't exactly the pinnacle of fun. It could be sectons before you see another planet, never mind the fact that there are sections in the galaxy that are no-fly zones," Karth explained, opening up a door to a room that looked like it had used to hold storage. Now, there were a couple of chairs scattered around a table with some type of holographic cards and chips. There was a large bookshelf shoved against a wall, and what seemed to be some type of TV mounted next to it. "We usually use this room for down time, but I can grab you a few bedrolls from the closet and fix up things properly later."

"Damn." Dustin said, looking shocked. "I don't think I'd make a very pretty a hundred and three year old. I don't want to know what kind of wrinkles I would have. "He said with a grimace.

Evan nodded a bit as he walked into the room. "Are there many blankets? I feel like I need to be buried in some to get rid of the last of the chill from being frozen."

"You wouldn't get wrinkles. Or at least, not many. If science can make you live to be five hundred, it can make you look young," Aya pointed out.

"Yeah, sure. I'll be right back," Karth said, leaving the room to get two bedrolls and enough blankets to make a nest and then some. "We carry a ton of blankets for Ti-ae. Or rather, Ti-ae keeps collecting blankets because he thinks they're pretty and I don't have the heart to throw them out."

Re: Space Adventure


"Wow, five hundred years... That's old as !@#$." Dustin said, shaking his head. "I can't even imagine that.." He said, then looked at Aya and Ti-ae. "So, how old are you guys then?"

Evan smiled and took the blankets from Karth, setting them aside before taking a bedroll and beginning to make himself a bed. "Thank you. At least now there's a use for them. Though I can't say I'm much different with blankets. Back home I could never have enough. I like being buried like a burrito."

"Oh! Well, I'm three-hundred and fifty-six," Aya said lightly. "My people live to be about seven, eight hundred."

"I'm eighteen," Ti-ae said with a shrug. "But my people reach maturity at about fourteen."

"Hopefully that's enough. If not, I'm sure Ti'ae will pick up more at the next planet," Karth said, leaning against the wall and watching Evan curiously.

Re: Space Adventure


~Reaching X-Goara~

Evan was looking out the window on the ship excitedly, staring down at the planet.

"I've never seen anything quite like this." He gushed, taking in the sight of everything, including the planet's three moons. "I was too worked up when you guys got us that I didn't really get a look at the planet you got us on." He said, turning to smile brightly at the crew.

"It really is impressive." Dustin said, just as enamored by the view as Evan, but refusing to show it. "Never thought I'd get to see a view like this, especially of anything outside our solar system."

Re: Space Adventure


"We're landing. Its gonna be rough," Karth said, piloting the ship into a dock, the ship jerking a bit before settling. "Alright. Keep by us, and for !@#$'s sake, don't start trouble. These people are degenerates, and won't hesitate to grab you when you're not wearing collars," he warned, Aya pulling a robe on himself and flipping up the hood. Karth took the lead, Aya and Ti-ae walking behind Dustin and Evan, though the prince was looking around with a sharp-toothed grin, eyes practically twinkling as he took in the shops and people dancing in the streets, upbeat music blaring through the town, neon and holographic signs in various languages glinting brightly.

"Don't get distracted, Aya. We're here for collars, not debauchery," Karth growled.

"But debauchery is so much fun," Aya said, batting his eyes.

"Wow, this place is amazing." Evan gasped, taking everything in with wide eyes. "It's like one giant club." He said, looking across the sea of partiers. "The kinds of people that are out here, I would never had been able to imagine."

"Yeah, well, if that guy with all those eyes over there would stop leaning those... eye stalks... towards us, I'd be much happier." Dustin huffed, wrinkling his nose a bit. "I'm not a zoo animal."

Karth snarled, making a horrifying rumbling noise in his chest that made the other alien immediately back off. "!@#$ voyeurs," he muttered, Ti'ae hissing at another alien with four tails that tried to get close. "Here. Get inside," he ordered, stopping in front of a nondescript building, the doors sliding up to reveal a posh interior with all sorts of collars and slave supplies.

The ambiguously gendered creature inside the shop gave them a greeting with too many S's, seeming to smile at them. "Hello! Welcome to my shop, Elphicadd'aessss Ssssservant Emporium. How can I ssssserve you."

"We need two collars, nothing flashy, and comfortable enough for everyday wear," Aya said brightly. "Chipped, as well, preferably with DNA identification."
