Second Contract/Contractual Obligations

[lastfeather]

[1]

[Despite the recent failure at Lawdas, the Chalice still managed to gain a trio of new pilots. One of them was looking over the sheer amount of damage done to his machine.]

Well... damn...

[He's just running his hand through his hair with a grimace as he runs through the expenses. Repairs, ammunition, repainting, replacement parts... With the factory blasted to bits, it was written off as a failure and practically devoured his funds. He was going to have to work the everloving hell out of his ass to make up for this mess. He sighs roughly as he watches the numbers fall.]

Bloody Silent Line... Bloody League...

[The new arrival is at the bar... despite slowly closing into impoverishment he slapped money on the table, collapsed on a barstool and proceeded to make the following demand as he dropped his head to the bar-top.]

Give me the most expensive thing you've got. No. Actually. Give me two of that.

[Clearly his solution to dealing with having his money whittled down... is to waste more of it on coping mechanisms! BRILLIANT!]

Right... because of this contract I've got... I'm obligated to introduce myself.

[He's rubbing the bridge of his nose. His drinking binge may have gotten the better of him.]

My name's Ryou Kimura, I go by 'Onyx Zero' on the field. I'm a Mercenary of the Raven's Ark. We deal with dispute resolution. So I negotiate with people... violently. There's a lot of explosions and shooting involved.

[He takes a lazy swig straight from a bottle.]

I'll be working with you all... and probably be doing some Merc work on the side.. ..

[He seems to look off to the side, grumbling as he looks through a digital copy of the contract.]

RIght... and APPARENTLY... you get 40% of the pay whenever I go do my job. What is this shit...

So assuming you don't feel morally obligated to bitch at me, you're welcome to help me line your pockets.

Any questions?

Its a part of my Contract. You guys are locked out from my jobs, so I won't shoot anyone on board unless they try to do me in first.

[He raises the bottle towards Tobia lazily.]

I take my contracts seriously kid.

[not_the_deer]

Speaking of jobs, you don't do any technological spying, do you? Just gotta make sure.

[lastfeather]

... Not my forte. I just shoot things. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that.

What brought this up?

[not_the_deer]

Past experiences. We had other AC users on this ship. From the League.

[lastfeather]

... The League.

[Ryou says it flatly. Like someone just farted in the room loudly but refused to fess up.]

Trust me when I say this. Having League pilots on board is asking to have your back stabbed.

They work for their Corporations benefit and only for that. It doesn't matter how 'nice' they are.

[not_the_deer]

Yeah. I found out first-hand when they were trying to steal our tech. Except they weren't really nice about it, either. Just discrete.

[lastfeather]

They didn't kill anyone on the way out from how people talk about them.

I'd say that's pretty nice.
