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?

Money's hardly an issue here. But a little more of a buffer never hurt anyone. Parts aren't free.

But speakers are.

Put both on my tab!

[Kurou knew a kindred spirit when he saw one.]

You're not going to fight us if someone pays you to attack White Chalice, right?

[Laura responds to the broadcast by the same means.]

I should warn you - there are some people aboard who really, really don't like mercenaries. To the extent they might literally break you in half if you say the wrong thing around them. You should probably talk to their commanders, or the ship's senior officers, before anything happens.

[She imagines a pissed-off mercenary trying to get a guarantee of safety from Ranna or Resnick. Ryou might notice the eye-twitch of a suppressed wince as that image plays out in her head.]

...You should probably have me with you if you do talk to them. I'm Laura.

...If we aid you in your..."side jobs", do we receive more than 40%? And if so, what sort of money are we looking at?

That's odd... I don't recall a lot of explosions and shooting.

[He doesn't shoot as much as most Ravens thus not as many explosions.]

On the other note, its not negotiating with people violently. It's more of... A swift and assertive reaction to bullshit, only we're getting paid to react to it.
