((*lmao* yay neighbors! nice touch *lol*)) Those at the site now treated, the remaining bikers taken away and locked up, the security drones return empty handed and buzz straight past them. They cannot arrest for something they havent seen, its part of their logic functions. They cannot comprehend that the group had done something bad when no one was being attacked or attacking at the moment. The presence of Leoness chatting to the group also confuses them and they simply return to their posts. "Things arent always what they seem." She says casually. "I believe we were about to go shopping?" Zatar Daman. The name had been echoing in her head since he had mentioned it. The Illyshian warrior. She knew she had heard the name once before, a long time ago. But for the life of her she couldnt place him in her history. Quietly she hoped she hadnt once tried to kill him, or vica versa.

Zari's jaw dropped. 'What in the name of Flying Amayan stinkworms underground on sugar highs? And, Erm, these bikers just barged in and caused trouble, and as far as I know, none of us did anything to provoke them.' she giggled, slightly hysterical, and helped herself to a cookie. Zaha sniffed Leoness's foot, then purred.

"No, they never are." Hades smiled slightly, but the smile was tinged with sorrow. "And yes, we were." Turning to Leoness, he bowed slightly. "Thank you for the offer of cookies. May I ask for your name?"

Amneiger had no idea why Zarah had said that sentence about what killers deserved to him when as far as he could tell, the only person who was actually dead was one of the bikers - and that certainly hadn't been him. There was injuries, but only one death. She was acting rather oddly overall - the mood swings, for one. And he wouldn't have guessed that she would be somebody to give cookies to children, for example. And how could she think of shopping at a time like this? Well, he had a name, a first name anyhow. He had confidence in Spacefleet archives.
The drones would be back for them later, he was sure of it. They'd leave Hades, X, and Keng alone as they hadn't actually carried out any offensive action, but there were too many eyewitnesses for the rest of them. Ice, Zari, and himself were definitely in trouble. Although a good number of those same eyewitness would probably testify that they had been defending civilians. Why hadn't he thought of that before?
Well, the fact that he was tired and hungry probably had something to do with it. He took a cookie from a tray being carried by - Leoness? A Spacefleet official? Huh. "Thank you," he said.

"Hey, Leo! Lovely to see you!" Ice smiled brightly. "I'll pass up on the cookies, but they do look delicious." ((I'm going to go with knowing Leo from back on the NTWF)) Yeesh, tensions are running high over here, it's good that Leoness came over. Speaking of Leoness, perhaps some housekeeping issues could be resolved..
"As a matter of fact, there are several problems. One was that biker gang - if our actions were the problem you were referring to, we can have a discussion about that later, I'm sure we can work things out. But there's another problem - Strife really needs to get those maps filled properly, it was hard to find the way around and that really isn't fun for a recruit who just flew up here. And I would have hoped our rooms would be better furnished, but we'll be remedying that shortly, aye Zarah?"

Zari glanced at Ice. 'We were. No offence, but the rooms are blank as a sheet of laser paper.' she said, smiling slightly

((XD dont mind Zarah, shes dang unpredictable (and a Lot of fun to play might I add XD) One second youve got a blade to your throat, the next its vanished and shes smiling in a friendly way at you. Shes not insane.. just... odd))
Zarah, whilst waiting for the others, already has emptied a third and fourth glass of Fire Dancer. Technically enough to flatten a human with a single sip, it has an impossible alcoholic level of 372%. Yet after her fourth she doesnt even appear to be mildly intoxicated. Perhaps she just likes the taste.
She turns, hearing her name and flashes a charming smile briefly at Amneiger, as if she had heard his thoughts ((which of course, she didnt.. she just finds it fun to make people paranoid hehe)) but her gaze rests on Ice "Unless you prefer to sleep on the floor, yes.. I believe I heard a rumor that we were permitted a small allowance from the station to personalize our rooms?" She puts down the fourth empty glass. "But if not, then perhaps you'll all permit me to cover the costs." She adds in such a casual tone that they probably wouldnt believe they had even heard her right. It wasnt a question. It was a statement.
"Consider it a gift. Its not often I make new friends." She adds in an tone that seems to have an unmistakably odd edge to it. "Shall we?"

((*chides self for falling behind in the RP*))
Before Keng had been able to pop her head back up the droids had buzzed in, at which point she went to helping civilians, but even that was taken care of quickly, and there was now a tray of cookies being passed around. She'd likely have recognized Leoness, had she been paying proper attention, but she was looking more at the oddness of cookies after all that, and was then distracted by the renewed prospect of shopping. "I can pay for my own stuff well enough, but thanks for the offer." she declined to Zarah's offer.

"I've slept on worse surfaces than a smooth, clean, dry, floor." Hades shrugged. "And I have enough credits to pay for anything I need. Thank you for the offer, though." He smiled at Zarah. "I've stayed in my quarters and the cantina. You probably know your way around the station better that I do." With a wave of his arm, Hades said, "Would you like to lead the way?"

Ice grinned. "If you insist. You've been better acquainted with the station than I."
Cheapskate? Nah. She wants to pay the bill.. 'sides, it doesn't sound like she gets many friends, and I can see why that is. Might as well make her happy.. That and I don't have a clue about the money here.
"So, do you have any idea about the store layout here? And where are we heading first?" Wait... Leoness.
"D'you want to come too, Leo?"

((Well, Amneiger believes "unpredictable" means "very suspicious and thus meriting of caution." )) Amneiger raised an eyebrow at Zarah's smile. Now what was she playing at? And where had she gotten the cash to offer to pay for everybody's things? This was just strange. He shook his head. "No thanks, I can pay for everything I need." But on the other hand... "I don't know where the stores are though, so I might as well come along."

At the mention of 'Leo' Keng looked around with greater observation for this Leo character, and was rather surprised to find that the cookie tray she had noted earlier, was infact being carried by Leoness. Her jaw hung open a split second in surprise before she greeted the semi-familiar face. She couldn't say she knew Leoness well, but she did know her. "Leoness, I didn't see you there. What-" she let the unffinished sentance hang, it didn't really need to be completed anyway.

((Perfect definition hehe this should be fun. Im not sure guys but I dont think Leo is coming back to the rp O.o but I hope she does! )) "Suit yourselves... Thank you Ice." Her smile remains, it hadnt offended her in the slightest. She'd find something nice to do for the others eventually. "Miss Leoness, you are more than welcome to join us too. And Ive only been here as long as Keng, I just have a good memory for maps.. even though they need some work. Shall we?" She turns and strolls towards the door. Away from the others, her smile vanishes You know this isnt going to last. Shut up. One week tops. Shut Up! You'll blow your cover, you always do, thats one thing daddy never taught you. I said, shut up! You cant buy friends dear, and when they found out how you got the cash. Ha. I cant wait to see the fireworks. That one, Amneiger.. if I get him on side.. maybe the others wont.. How long will it take them to turn those smiles into quickdraws Zarah? SHUT UP! That wont happen again! I have a place to belong to now! I'll earn their trust, and keep it! You'll see! A leopard never changes its spots.. Zarah Leideen.And the snigering voice in her head was gone. She flinches hard and her furry tail slowly un-bristles. It was wrong. This time, things would.. Will.. be different.

Ice watched Zarah as she strolled off. Looks like a mental conflict, she noted as Zarah flinched. Definitely one I want to get to know better.
With no reply from Leoness, she shrugged and followed Zarah, pondering over future purchases. Wallpaper, bedspread, pillows, carpeting, desk, computer set, navy colors. Hey.. maybe painting the room could be fun, a get together of sorts and it would certainly reveal something about these folks. A smile came across her face as she walked. Yes, that would be nice.
"Let's go then, guys, Zarah's already left! Oh, and would anyone want to explain the currency system around here? I didn't read too much..."

Hades watched as Zarah walked off, still trying to figure out where he'd heard the name before. A leader in one of the wars he had fought? He shook his head slightly. There was time enough to worry about her name later.
"Let's go then, guys, Zarah's already left! Oh, and would anyone want to explain the currency system around here? I didn't read too much..." It was the ice-person. Hades glanced at her, walking quickly to catch up. "Same as most stations. We use credits as the standard measure, and most other systems of currency have values in credits. Not always the same values, but merchants always have a sheet telling them how much your money's worth."
Looking around, Hades could see items from many different worlds, some of which he could identify. Stopping at the Illysh booth, he began looking at the computer systems they had for sale.
