Futuristic space pirates

[Kattz]

"Wha-? Felicia?!" She had forgotten about the max volume she normally had her commlink on when she was sleeping or barely awake. Turning it down, she responded to the eccentric weapons officer. "Why do you need to know that?" Her posture changed and her face deadpanned when she realized what was probably going on. Kat pinched the bridge of her nose in slight irritation. "Felicia, releasing a prisoner without authorization from the Captain does not qualify as a good prank no matter what you may have planned."

 

[Leijonion]

Felicia huffed at Kat,"I'm not going to release a prisoner I'm talking about-" She stopped, something almost audibly clicking in her head. The brig, the handcuffs, the bunch of windows, he was a prisoner! "Ohhhhahaha, okay, haha, I get it, this guy..." She turned to look at the man again, smiling and pointing at him as if he was a dog who got himself into the food. "This guy was messing with me. But he still wants to see the ship," she leaned towards the prisoner, as if she were asking him a private question, "you still want to see the ship, right?"

 

[Soviet Panda]

"Yes, I do." Conner said with a smile. On the inside, he wanted to throttle this loony and spare everyone any farther misery. He could still make it work though, he hoped.

 

[Leijonion]

"See, Kat? He still wants to see the ship, pleasepleaseplease pleeeease? I don't get to show nobody around the ship! I promise I'll take good care of him!"

 

[Kattz]

"Ugh..." Kat sighed in exasperation as adorable as she could be dealing with Felicia could get tiring and she was already running only on two hours of sleep and a cup of coffee. "Fine on one condition. I'm a bit busy at the moment preparing for crew member physicals so you have to ask the Captain for access to his keys as well as permission to let the prisoner stretch his legs and to take a well armed crewmember with you. If you do all that I'll help convince Zed to let the emperor roam around for a bit saying that it's doctor's orders or something like that okay?" Damn Emperor Conner for convincing the person whom she viewed as a younger sister. "Oh well it's almost time for his bathroom break."

 

[Leijonion]

Felicia brightened up when Kat spoke, practically kissing her arm, where her comm link was located. "Thank you Kat! I won't let you down, I promise!" She cut the link and smiled at the prisoner. "Okey dokey mister prisoner! You'll be out in a bit, lemmie just find out who would be willing to escort us and find the captain." She tapped at her arm as she exited the brig, making her way towards the mess hall, hoping the captain was there. As she walked, she began crossing people off her mental checklist. 'They're in the sickbay. They're in the sickbay. They said they didn't like me. They're mean. They're going to the trading post today. Augh, who else is left?'

Slinger moved towards Felicia in wonder on why she kept looking to everyone in the room and had a small frown on her face. He watched her carefully as he seemed to be thinking, he growled lightly at her, questioning her motives.

 

[Leijonion]

When she spotted Slinger, she smiled brightly at him. "Whattup, spikes? Okay, okay, I have a question for you. If you were asked to, maybe, escort myself and a prisoner around the ship while I show him around, would that... Would you be up for that?" She looks at him with her puppy dog eyes, wondering if he even knows what a puppy dog is.

Slinger's eyes seemed to light up at the mention of prisoner, as sometimes if prisoners aren't worth enough or people didn't pay fast enough the prisoner became lunch for him. Slinger nodded slowly, repeating a gesture for affirmative he had seen a crew member do. Purring hapily since he knew if the prisoner misbehaved in any way, well he wasn't going to be a prisoner anymore.

 

[Leijonion]

She clapped happily, putting her hand out for a high five. "Yeah! You're the bestest, spikes! Do you mind if I call you spikes?"

Slinger stared at her upraised hand and tapped it with his prong, then shrugged at her question, not realling caring. He grined slightly back, sharp fang-like teeth exposed before he returned to a neutral expression, looking towards the exit before back at the wild girl, gesturing that they should go and retrieve the prisoner.

 

[Leijonion]

Felicia smiled, more excited than ever. She just got one step closer to showing someone around her favorite thing in the world, and she got a high five from spikes! "Just one last thing, I need to get the keys from the captain, bleagh. If you want, you can go down and keep the prisoner company while I find him, or you can help me find the captain! Your choice."

Slinger nodded slowly still, but easier. He walked to Felicia's side and looked at her, showing he would stay with her to hunt for the Captain. He purred lightly and waited for Felicia to leave the mess and start the search.

 

[Leijonion]

"Okay, spikes. Where do you think he is. Not the mess hall. Not the brig. Maybe his room? Man, I wish I had a magnifying glass and a pipe, and we could be detectives." She walked out of the mess hall, walking towards the captain's room. "Would you be Sherlock, or Holmes?"

 

[Sulfirious]

Slinger followed Felicia, not knowing how to answer her question. Who was this Sherlock or Holmes? Were they real people? Slinger mentally sighed, knowing it probably wasn't important since they weren't a target of the Cat or one it its crew. He tilted his head so he would be seen as confused, not ignoring the flamboyant weapons specialist.

 

[DrCompton]

Jax was walking down the hall, toward Slinger and Felicia, he raised a brow at the two, considering they weren't a usual pairing, and Felicia seemed to be on a mission, which was generally very awful news for Jax. "What're you two up too?" He looked a Slinger for a second, "She's not leading you on a scavenger hunt is she bud? Cause you'll just end up more lost than you started."

 

[Leijonion]

"Sherlock and Holmes are famous detectives from the really really really old past. They, uh..." She spotted Jax, then, and she smiled at him, then frowned. "I ain't gettin' him lost. I know this place like the back on my hand." She looked at the back of her hand, looked confused for a moment, looked at her palm, looked at the back of her hand again, and shrugged.

 

[DrCompton]

"Sherlock and Holmes? You mean Sherlock and Wastson, Crazy? Sherlock Holmes is one fella, the uh smart one. Like me." He put his thumb against his chest and grinned. "So you gonna tell me what you're draggin' him around doin'?" He raised a brow, curious as to what craziness Felicia could be up to now.

Slinger thought about Jax's words for a minute and shook his head, No scavender hunt, just Captain searching then prisoner escorting. Slinger looked towards Felicia as she studied the back of her hand and became confused, he suddenly felt less sure about escorting the prisoner but that was easily dispelled as he remembered he might be able to eat him. Afterall, Slinger knew all the rafters and air vents in the ship so he wasn't concerned as he initially was.

 

[Leijonion]

Felicia hummed grumpily at Jax, crossing her arms. "I say it's Sherlock and Holmes. Sherlock John and Holmes Watson. And you're not the smart one, I am." She stuck her nose in the air proudly. "And I'm not dragging him around. He's consciously following me! Right, Spike?" She smiled at Slinger, then looked at Jax again. "We're looking for the Captain so I can show the prisoner around the ship. Doctor's orders."

 

[DrCompton]

"What the hell? Show the prisoner around the ship!?" He raised his voice, something Jax rarely did, "What the hell is wrong with you Felicia!?" He waved his hand, accidently opening a comm to Kat, as that was his last comm from the morning. "I knew you were f***ing crazy but not that crazy! You can't show him around the ship there is no telling WHAT he could do, or WHO he'd be able to buy, there are a lot of starving people!" He took a step forward quickly, as if he would strike Felicia, but didn't raise his hands in a threatening motion at all.

 

[Leijonion]

She was surprised by his sudden outburst, then she crossed her arms and stared him in the eye. "I may be crazy, but I'm not dumb! I'm not going to let him get away with anything! That's why Slinger is here, just in case. And I have my weapons. And he doesn't even have anything to buy anyone with, he's a prisoner! And we're in space! What's he gonna do? Escape out of the trash chute?!" As she talked, she started using her arms, finishing with a huff and putting her hands on her hips.

Slinger waited off to the side, interested int he conversation that was happening, he listened to Jax's outburst and was prepared to jump in to separate the two, he slowly came to the other side of the two and tapped his prongs together silently, and growled quietly, warning the two that he would interfere if he deemed in nessisary.

 

[DrCompton]

"You dont know what that man is capable of Felicia." He frowned at her, "He will kill entire planets if it benefits him, and if he were to get ahold of anything,or someone, and hurt you? Slinger would be the last person he would have to worry about. I already owe him a bullet to the brain, you'd just make two, and I dont want to owe him two bullets to the brain Felicia. Its a bad idea, we should give him a bucket and keep him in that god damn cell." He looked at Slinger, "Dont worry pal I wont hurt her, and I can't hurt you..." He sighed, "I just... You guys are the only family Ive got so Im.. protective."

 

[Leijonion]

Felicia shook her head. "I don't care how powerful or whatever he is. He isn't going to hurt nobody, he's on a pirate ship and it's not like he has anywhere to hide. He said he just wants to look around and I really really really want to show someone around the ship." She shook her head, "I can take care of myself and with Spike here, he isn't going to try anything. I wouldn't put the Cat in danger." She looked up at Slinger, crossing her arms again. "Would you let the prisoner hurt the Cat?"
