Last Stand: Azdar P.R.I.M.E. ~ IC

[MelissaB]

Alex blushes slightly as Jenna mentions her staring again. "I, Well-" She cuts herself short before she can embarrass herself further keeping her eyes level with Jenna's. "Yeah I suppose I understand what you're getting at." She offered her a warm smile her cheeks still flushed with colour. She cast a quick glance around the passenger era to check who else was around or watching the pair. Looking back at Jenna her face showing she's at a loss of what to say, her earlier embarrassment taking what words she had.

Jenna couldn't help but to smirk at Alex's embarrassment, nodding before taking her warm smile nice from her part. She'd pat her shoulder since her right arm was still around Alex's back; sighing and giggling before looking up at the ceiling. ''Yeah, you suppose..'' The chuckling Jenna whispered while winking at Alex, half-saddened about the earlier statement but half-happy with her embarrassment; although she didn't find why she was embarrassed in the first place. ''You're blushing, you might as well relax!'' She suggested casually before uncrossing her legs and trying to rest against the seat's backside, making her breasts bounce heavily to her efforts; although Jenna's smile showed that that was on purpose.

There were a couple of soldiers glancing towards Jenna; although one or two occasionally gave Alex a curious look. There would be a particular soldier with his chin hanging low as Jenna's breasts bounced seconds earlier, it seemed that Jenna apparently was quite popular with the crew by now.

Alex nodded And tried to calm herself taking a deep breath. "Yeah I guess you're right." Alex tries to relax getting into a more comfortable position. "You enjoy using your body to make others notice you don't you?" She asks this after Jenna's breasts bounce. "You've drawn quite the fan base already." She smiles slightly getting more comfortable now. "So how long have you been a mechanic?"

[MiscChaos]

Ty visibly cringes at the mention of a shopping district tour. His mind races for any excuse he can find to get out of it, but, like Blanc reminded him, he's gotta kill time til tomorrow when they get picked up somehow. And somehow he doubts that Blanc would let him find a hotel room somewhere and just sleep for the entirety of the day. Well, she probably would, but he's loathe to imagine the number of pranks and tricks she'd have for him by the time he woke up. Seeing this as the lesser of two evils, Ty sighs. "You'd better be lucky you're my sister and I love you and shit. Lead the way." he says, sounding like he regrets the final sentence even as it leaves his mouth.

(Let's just assume Jon got off the transport while I was asleep, m'kay? )

Jon now stands in the waiting area of the hangar, looking around at the area. Somehow, he thought it would be a little bigger, but oh well. Whipping out his PDA, he opens up his e-journal, and begins writing an entry:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

<<Operation Azdar, Day 1.>>
I have arrived in the waiting hangar of Pilon Dome. The ship docked a little more roughly than I've grown used to, but nothing serious. My equipment is in pristine condition, but my mind is still a bit anxious regarding the...opposition. Stories have spread far and wide about them, and there is a certain degree of fear that I can't deny. Fear is natural, however, and what will determine my survival is how I respond to that fear, not how much of it I feel. For the time being, I plan to stop by a local arcade, both to alleviate tension and pass some time before my briefing...besides, I've heard that the new Astrovania game is quite a wide-selling piece, and very fun. Even in a field like my own, one can afford to enjoy himself.

--End of Log entry---

Thinking of the arcade title he mentioned in his e-journal, Jon can't help but hum a tune from the game's addictive soundtrack as he waits for his cue to head into town.

[Reapergod36]

Reaper sat quietly, looking a bit pissed. Not much could be told as he still wore his mask.

[daxtinator396]

Dax wakes up with a slight groan as the ship lands. "Urghhh... wha? Oh we're here!" He quickly grabs his pack which has some of his tools and steps off the frieghter into the hangar.

Jenna giggled and blushed quite lightly while leaning her head to the side; looking straight into Alex's eyes as if they had been best-friends since childhood. ''~Well.. I can't help it, everything I do gives certain reactions.. I have a fan base? ~So cute of you..'' She said before sighing and smirking; although she seemed a bit bothered by the attention towards her breasts by now. ''Five years by now, if I'm not wrong, how about you; Alex?''

Hangar, Waiting Area

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Blanc snuggled her robotic head against Ty's back with such a sisterly affection; sighing quietly while hoping that her brother would hopefully take her to the shopping district, she had been wanting to see some new 'wonders' of the technological industry. Hearing the rather harsh way Ty spoke; she frowned and walked around him before standing in front of him, her lower height being quite noticeable for a bit. ''You said bad words, Ty! ~You promised you wouldn't..!'' She spoke softly though, lunging forward to hug him again and waiting for him to take her to the shopping district. ''~Shopping!'' She thought.

Jon can see the two from earlier; although he could hear that the young man mentioned the word 'sister'. He'd probably find it weird that a human had a robot-like sister.. But nobody said it was wrong.

Dax gets off the freighter with ease, finding himself in a rather not-so-crowded waiting area.

ALPHA BASE, Waiting Hall

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Reaper could see that the base was basically going on as if everything was normal; spotting the usual personnel looking his way with a 'I'm watching you, Daithi' look on their faces. He could also hear a frustrated Sergeant leaning against the wall; her arms crossed while letting an annoyed sigh. ''Made it after all, Reaps?'' She said in a casual tone, having known Reaper for quite some time; although there had been 'problems' now and then.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Jon muses to himself regarding the robotic girl: (Huh, imagine that...maybe the term "sister" is a model name or something, or there was some new science breakthrough that lets people "download" themselves into robot bodies...nah, that'd just be silly.)

Putting those thoughts away for a moment, he looks around for something like a map that he could use; he's unfamiliar with Pilon Dome's layout, and could use a helping hand to avoid frequent directory checks.

[MiscChaos]

"I know, I know." Ty sighs in response to his promise to lay off the swears a bit. "Why in the world I even made that promise, I don't know..." he just barely voices to himself. Those damn puppy dog eyes of her might've had something to do with it though. He really needs to build up his resistance to it... He takes a second to re-imagine the map of Pilon Dome he studied before leaving and plots his current location on it and where he wants to go. With that clearly in his head, he nods to himself. "Alright, let's go." he says walking off in the direction he's plotted, dragging Blanc along with him since he didn't bother to get her to release her hug.

[Lady Foxy]

Pilon Dome, Hangar - Waiting Area

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Jon spots an information terminal on the end of the waiting area's hall, just before the double doors stood; leading outside towards the city of Pilon Dome. He can see the two moving towards the doors too.

Blanc giggled before trying to walk backwards, grinning with happy pixel-like eyes while releasing Ty from her sisterly embrace. ''~Hand, hand, hand!'' She whispered with her unique puppy eyes; grabbing Ty's right hand with her left while walking next to her brother with a large smile on her face. Ty could clearly see that Blanc seemed happier when around him; hence the fact they are currently brothers.

[MiscChaos]

Ty rolls his eyes, but doesn't fight Blanc grabbing his hand. Blanc knows she's just about the only person in the world who could get away with this kinda crap, so he's not surprised she's milking it for all it's worth. "I swear, any more silly, and I would think you had the mind of a small child." he says as an offhand comment on her word choice when asking for his hand. He doesn't sound all that serious though, so the fact that he's joking should come through.

[Zender_Solarheart]

"Bingo." Jon quietly says to no one in particular, then walks over to the info terminal. Arriving at it, he navigates through the map download instructions, holds his PDA over the terminal for data transfer, and takes the screen's advice to "have a nice day" when he's done.

DA NA NA NA!!
[MAP]
\_O_/

With that done, he follows the example of the human-robot pair of siblings, and heads for the doors out into town. While walking that way, he pulls up the map on his PDA, and uses the built-in map-searching tool to look for arcade locations.

[Reapergod36]

Reaper smirked, "Not you again.."

Pilon Dome, Outside of the Hangar

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Blanc walked as if she was a little girl, smiling widely with her pixel-like colored smile and eyes; giggling at Ty before stroking her face against his shoulder. ''Bwut am I nwot your wittle swister..?'' She said lovingly and with a childish voice, sighing softly while they seemed to be walking towards the edge of the sidewalk.
-Ty can clearly see hover cars passing by and busy civilians doing their usual duties.. It seems that there is a dirty-looking place by the far corner of a street on their right side.. Something tells Ty that the place isn't 'dirty' because it's not clean, simply by seeing the dancing pixel-girl on the building's sign..

Jon can pretty much see everything going on as it's supposed to be; hover cars passing by, people busy with their jobs or duties.. The usual. His PDA responds with a quiet beep, telling him that there was an 'arcade' location nearby; although it may be closed or abandoned.

ALPHA BASE, Waiting Hall

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Sgt. Alicia smirked back at Reaper, still leaning against the wall before changing it into a rather dangerous smile; one that Reaper had seen in many occasions. ''Oh heck yes it's me. So, I see you managed to come here after all.. I thought you'd rather stay with that mercenary group that I disposed off earlier? Just saved yourself a lot of trouble.. And perhaps I missed the opportunity to kick your ass.'' She said with a friendly chuckle and with no awkwardness to what she had just said; it seemed they weren't strangers to each other at all.

[MiscChaos]

"Not THAT little though. Unless you'd like me to find a robotic's expert to swap your current body out for a smaller model. I mean, I'd have no objections to that." Ty says around a smile, his voice making it hard to tell if he's joking or not. As he's talking, he notes the place that looks like a strip joint and carefully avoids it. It's not a place to bring Blanc by any stretch of the imagination. But since it seems he's in the civilian quarter now, he keeps his eyes peeled for anything that'd look like a mall or a shop, pretty sure Blanc will spot it before he does though.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Jon lets out a soft chuckle as his PDA beeps, and follows the path it mapped out for him to the arcade. He hopes that the place isn't actually shut down, though; while arcades have seen a bit of a rise in popularity - thanks to the recent addition of "profile cards" (basically memory cards for arcade club members) - they still aren't quite in the same league as console or PC gaming. The new Astrovania title has console and PC versions of its own, but he wants to try the arcade version because of certain arcade-exclusive content. It's not every day that a 1-on-1 arcade fighter lets you upload your own music for a 2-player match.

Pilon Dome, Streets

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Blanc's eyes seemed to have little reflections on the upper corners as she stared at Ty with her puppy eyes; a wobbling frown going along with it. ''Y-You wouldn't Ty~! I didn't mean it! ~I'll be older! Yesh! I promise!'' She said in a rather enchanting, innocent cute girl voice; giving Ty's right cheek a 'kiss' before pulling back and increasing the tightness on his hand just one bit, but softly. ''Oh, there! ~Look!'' Blanc cried out before walking quite rapidly towards the other end of the street, hover cars stopping in respect. Ty would notice the large mall just three blocks away.

Jon finds that the arcade says 'Soon to be Closed'. There are a couple of phone numbers but the windows are blacked out and covered with posters.. Seems it's still open for now.

[Zender_Solarheart]

"Well, at least they're still up and running." Jon mumbles to himself, and decides to take advantage of the opportunity while he still can. He opens the door, walks inside, and takes a look around at what kinds of arcade titles they have available. If they're soon to be closed, then it's doubtful they'll have Astrovania anywhere in here, but anything's better than nothing for now.

[MiscChaos]

Ty just barely manages to resist bursting out laughing at his sister's response, figuring it'd lead to nothing more than a bruised shoulder. Then he decides it'd be totally worth it and stops resisting, continuing to laugh all the way to the mall before calming down. "Alright, alright, let's just do a quick look through. We may have until tomorrow, but I don't feel like walking through this mall all day."
