[i]A lone figure stumbles through a portal in the hangar of the ISS Avalon, covered in sword cuts and slashes. She wears leather pants and a leather top, knives strewn about on the armor, if it can be called that. She clutches a blood covered ninjato in her right hand, the hilt and sheath on her back red. She collapses onto the steel, clutching a wound in her collarbone, her bright red hair falling over her face and covering her grey eyes, one of which there is a scar over. [/i]

"Long stories." [i] Red looks at them with slight awe. Ronin glances at the red Ninjato on her back.[/i] "That's Rain, correct?" [i] Red freezes.[/i] "How do you know my swords name?" [i] Ronin chuckles.[/i] "Spoilers." [spoiler]if you get that reference your awesome[/spoiler]
-
Hey, I've got time. I could go for a drink. You can't be more difficult to hold a conversation with then her. [spoiler]Unfortunately, no, I do not. I don't get many references.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]its okay haha. It's Doctor Who though.[/spoiler] "I'm not exactly talkative about my past. And don't plan to be." [i] Ronin mentally files away the fact that Nobody didn't even question about Red's sword.[/i]
-
Ah. Shame. I'm sure you have plenty of stories to tell.
-
"I do." [i] Ronin starts to walk away and then stops.[/i] "Tell ya what, if you tell me what's in that bag of yours, I'll have a drink with you."
-
[b]Nobody throws his head back and laughs[/b] Plenty of things. All medicinal. If you mean what I was reaching for, well, that's my ace in the hole. [b]He winks at you[/b]
-
"I could just take it from you, but that's no fun." [i] He begins to walk towards the bar and looks back at the two.[/i] "Coming then?" [i]Red shakes her head from the thought that she was having a drink with Ronin, the man shed envied and studied for years.[/i] "Yeah."
-
[b]He laughs again[/b] I think we'll get along just fine [b]He walks towards him and pats Red on the back, startling her out of her thoughts[/b]
-
[i] They get to the bar and take a table in the back, Ronin nodding at the bartender and she brings them drinks, three glasses of an orange liquid.[/i] "My personal favorite, my treat. Orange juice and vodka." [i]Red sips hers besides being underage.[/i] "You gonna phase the drink through your mask or something?" [i] Secretly she was hoping he'd take the mask off.[/i]
-
Never tried orange juice and vodka. Always been a whiskey man myself. But ditto to her question. [b]He takes a sip, enjoys it, and takes a long draught[/b]
-
[i] He chuckles and his mask retracts to show a man in his early twenties, medium length brown hair with a single lock falling in his face. He possesses piercing, icy blue eyes that seem to stare through whatever he looks at; eyes that seem like they've seen way too much. Nobody hears Red gasp a slight bit.[/i] "As great as you'd hoped?" [i] He says with a smile, sipping his drink.[/i]
-
Handsome devil. I can see why Red admires you. [b]He smirks and has another sip of his drink[/b]
-
"She admires me for other reasons." [i]Red rolls her eyes, having regained her attitude, although she's still impressed.[/i]
-
So how long you planning on staying here?
-
"Depends." [i] He sips his drink.[/i] [i]Red interjects;[/i] "Blackbeard, you too?" [i]Ronin chuckles at her sudden question.[/i] "Yes." [i] Blackbeard?... The pirate?[/i]
-
Blackbeard?
-
"They didn't teach you history in school?"
-
[b]He chuckles[/b] They did, at least what time I spent in school, my question was what is the significance here?
-
"I'm the reason he left the world in 1718."
-
Oh. Don't think that was in the textbook.
-
[i] He grins, showing a perfect set of white teeth. Red chimes in;[/i] "He made sure of that."
-
[b]He nods towards Red[/b] You still never told me how or why [i]you're[/i] here. And then this guy shows up and answers basically any reasonable question. Come on now.
-
[i]Ronin chuckles, and Red flips him off before looking at Nobody.[/i] "I was betrayed by someone I trusted. She sold me out, had me tied up, and tortured. 5 broken ribs, 4 fingers broken, fractured face, broken arm."
-
And then just tossed you out for dead?
-
"No, I escaped and tried to kill her."
