Futuristic Trapped OL

[Zoran]

Maverick was drunk and singing with all the others. "We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink somemore! Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again!"


A shadowy fingure limp into town around this time. He limped on his left leg, skull cane in his left hand. He wore a shroud his face was hidden in the hood, the cloak was torn around the edges and cover most of his body. His gloves had smiling skulls on them. This indicated his was in the "Smiling Dead" Guild. He leaned heavily on the cane. Everyone shut down their stalls as they saw him. He limped into the pub everyone was celebrating in.

 

[Shanhub]

Aria watched the group in amusement but the smiling dead man did not escape her notice. She sat a little bit closer to the others so she could protect them if the need came.


Ellis leaned on Maverick, giggling away. "More Rum!" she exclaimed.

 

[Zoran]

The Shrouded man walked (limped) up to the pub owner. Everyone was silent, they just watched. Well, except for Orin.


"we will drink and drink and drink and drink and drink" he said while hammering back some Ale and falling back into a table and crashing it to the floor.


"A room if you please." Said the "Smiling Dead" offering coin. Everyone could see his name plainily now. Azazel, his name was in red, indicating that he was a player killer.

 

[Shanhub]

Ellis hid behind Maverick, gripping his arms in fear. "He's a player killer..."

 

[Zoran]

Maverick nodded and whispered "We are in a safe zone, he cant hurt you here."


The pub owner gulped and took the coin, handed him a room key. "Its room 203"


"Much obliged" Said azazel taking the key and limping upstairs.

 

[Shanhub]

Aria relaxed. "What a creep." she said irritably.


Orin looked confused as he hauled himself to his feet. "I don't get it. Why is everyone so tense?""


"You'll protect me, won't you, Maverick?" Ellis said in a flirty little voice.

 

[Zoran]

"Of course, I don't want to see anymore of my people die"


Nobody wanted to sleep upstairs so they all gathered on the tables, in chairs, and even on the floor.

 

[Shanhub]

Ellis grinned. She felt good knowing that Maverick would protect her. Aria wrinkled her nose at the sight of everyone cowering on the floor. She crossed her arms.


"Don't you cowards know that if he wants to kill you in your sleep he can do it easier here than in your rooms with your locked doors." Aria looked irritated because she wanted a moment alone with Maverick.

 

[Zoran]

Maverick ran his hands through his hair. "Well I for one am going to my room" he said. He paid tthe inn keeper and went upstairs to his room.

 

[Shanhub]

Aria smiled. "I am too." she said, paying and leaving.


Orin and Ellis looked at each other in concern. Aria followed Maverick up to his room and entered without knocking, letting the door close behind her.


"Maverick...mind if we talk a bit tonight?" she asked, locking the door.

 

[Zoran]

Maverick stood, facing the window.


"Very well"

 

[Shanhub]

Aria stripped down to a T-shirt and then sat down on the edge of his bed. "I just want you to know that I admire you...for your strength...and your courage. I also admire you for your incentive to take the lead. I-I want to mean something to you too..." she blushed and looked at her hands. "I must be drunk to want to say any of this shit..."

 

[Zoran]

"Haha" Maveriick smiled "Well your quite forward arnt you?"


He turned to her, the look on his face said he was deep in thought.


"Anyway, can I help you with anything?"

 

[Shanhub]

She flopped back on his bed. "Only if you can tell me how to have a relationship with someone." She sat up. "I guess I'm just afraid that I'll get close to someone and lose them...like I lost my brother." she sighed. "I really must be drunk. I'm confiding in you..." Before she could flee the room her tears started, trapping her against the bed. In shame she covered her face.

 

[Zoran]

He ran a hand down her face.


"Dont cry" he said softly "don't mourn the dead, they would be ashamed of us for it. The best you can do is celebrate the years spent with them. Besides, we all die, some of us just die sooner then others" he sat on the bed next to her.

[Shanhub]

She couldn't believe she was doing this but she threw herself into his chest and wept into his shirt. Her heart thudded in her chest. She felt somehow okay though. It felt amazing to lean on someone else. For some reason she wanted to kiss him. Would she feel it even? Wait wasn't she the one that said relationships could work here? She raised herself up on her hands so she was nose to nose with him.


"I'm drunk, Maverick." she said before pressing her lips to his.

 

[Zoran]

Maverick looked suprise, then kissed her back. He then pushed her off and said, "I'm sorry, but I cant take advantage of you in your drunken state"

 

[Shanhub]

She rolled her eyes. "But you can take advantage of me sober?" she smiled. "I'm not actually drunk." she said laying next to him. "It's just that saying I am makes you less likely to freak when I speak my mind...and it makes me feel better about being forward." she laughed at herself. "Maybe I should just go."

 

[Zoran]

"Ehem" He stood up and brushed back his hair "Lying to me is supposed to make me feel better? Strange indeed"

 

[Shanhub]

She sighed. "Yeah. You're right. This was a mistake." she stood and went for the door. "Just forget anything happened."

 

[Zoran]

He smiled, "Maybe I don't want to forget"

 

[Shanhub]

She paused and looked at him. " Maybe next time you could come to my room and pretend to be drunk." she gave him a faint smile.

 

[Zoran]

"who says id have to pretend" Maverick fell backward onto his bed, falling asleep almost instantly.

 

[Shanhub]

Aria chuckled and went to her room. When morning came maverick found Orin, Aria, and Ellis all sleeping in his room. Apparently they'd gotten scared of the laughing dead guild member.

 

[Zoran]

Aria saw Azazel walking toward Orin and her sleeping guild.
