Rage of Dust (1x1 w/ DarkMudkip)

[DarkMudkip]

"Well, you don't have much place else, you you?" He told her, "Better than dying out in the Martian wastes.."

 

[Jikkah]

“Maybe, but you still aren’t answering my question.” She said firmly. “What do you need me for?”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"We don't have a lot of man power. We have a lot of run-ins with Gjallarhorn. They like trying to wipe us out." He stated.

 

[Jikkah]

“You know that by bringing me on, they’re gonna hit you all that much harder. “I didn’t exactly leave on good terms with them.” She pointed out.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"If assuming, you know, they give enough of a shit to come looking for you." He said.

 

[Jikkah]

“It’s not me they want.” She muttered, his comment getting under her skin. “It’s the Gundam. Obviously, it’s not mine, I can just pilot it.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He made a noise, "Well, in any case, they don't really stand a chance against a gundam."

 

[Jikkah]

“That’s assuming they’re don’t send another Gundam.” She pointed out, her nose finally starting to slow its bleeding. “Have you ever fought one? A Gundam?”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He shook his head, "Never seen one before you. Only heard tales."

 

[Jikkah]

“Jeez..” Megohime rubbed the back of her neck, looking a little irritated. “Well, then we’ll have to fix that. Can’t be fighting on my own or with a bunch of inexperienced boys.” She looked up at him once more. “I want your word though.” She said. “I want your word I won’t be sold back to them, that you won’t betray me.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"You have my word." He told her, locking her gaze. There was no ill intent in his eye, so it was a start.

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime nodded. “Good.” Standing for a moment, she gave him a glance. “Megohime,” She said. “The names Megohime.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Masamune." He replied, "Good to have you and the gundam aboard."

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime felt her face flush a bit, looking away and clearing her throat. “Thanks.” She muttered, feeling a bit embarrassed- somehow she felt equal with him, not like she was a stepping stool for him.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I'll give you a tour around while we wait for Kojurou." He said and nudged his head.

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime nodded and followed after him, hands in her pockets as they walked, wiping at her nose every now and again.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He showed her where the bunk rooms were first, "Just pick a bed and fall into it." He told her, "No one really cares where they sleep so long as they do."

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime nodded, looking down the many rows of beds. “A lotta beds to fill, how big is this place?” She asked.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"It's a full blown ship." He answered, "Plenty of room for outcasts and whatever machinery we can nab."

 

[Jikkah]

“You still haven’t told me that either; are you pirates? Mercenaries?” She looked up at him. “You seem too... caring to be either.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"That's because we aren't either. I told you, we're a family, just trying to get by." He told her.

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime didn’t seem satisfied with that answer, crinkling her nose a bit. “Alright, call it what you want.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Kay." He didn't seem bothered before moving on, showing her the rest of the ship.

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime followed without issue, listening to him as he explained the ship and who did what and so on.

 

[DarkMudkip]

They reached the hangar, where all the Grazes and a couple Shidens were parked, as well as some Mobile Workers and her Shax.
