[u]Jupter, Titan[/u]
[i]Before Infinite's Departure[/i]
Eleif walked past crowds and one pedestrians as she made her way towards the meeting point with her client. A parka protected her from the cold climate as chilly winds whistled past her ears, a scarf and googles shielded her face, convenient for both the weather and facial concealment. She walked a ways down brightly lit and crowded streets before she made a turn into a dank alley, dim, dirty and secluded, you didn't walk down such a place unless you had business.
She made her way through, her footsteps sounding and echoing through the narrow empty space. [i]15 minutes[/i] she thought as she checked her watch. She stopped under an unlit neon sign that read 'Laughing Ink', she was fifteen minutes early. She leaned against the wall and surveyed the area, expecting someone, and soon.

[b]Screaming is heard in the distance before a very loud crash is heard and even more screaming sounds through the sky[/b] "LAND AHOY, MATEYS!" [b]A massive beluga whale crashes through the building and slowly skids past her before it shoots a small woman (?) out of the blowhole and into the sky[/b] "MATTHEW NO" [b]The whale simply doesn't reply, and just slowly slides away before the girl hits the floor with a gut wrenching thud[/b] "Ouch...." [b]She slowly lifts her face from the ground, and at Eleif[/b] "Hi..." [spoiler]perfect entrance, 10/10[/spoiler]
-
((You actually did it xD)) She just stares in awe at the whole scene, at loss of what to say or how to even react to what just happened infront of her. There is no way that didn't catch peoples attention from a distance, and was certainly about to attract more. "We gotta go. Like now" She says addressing the stranger.
-
"Matthew! Can you bring us somewhere else?" [b]The whale slowly shifts himself back to the scene with its flippers as he moans in the way whales do[/b] [spoiler]I'm a woman of my word[/spoiler]
-
So many questions she had, but now was hardly the time. "Umm, got room for two then?"
-
[b]She slowly turns her head towards Eleif [/b] "Why of course, love! He's a 70 feet long beluga whale filled with helium gas so that he can fly!" [b]Her mouth falls open and she stares in amazement, as if his own words amazed him[/b]
-
"Jeronimo, I guess" She says as she makes her way inside the whale. "You are my client, correct? Looking for passage aboard a certain Cruiser?" She says, asking what she should have in the first place.
-
"You got that right" [b]she says as she gets off her knees and dusts her now bloody knees off before following Eleif and tapping the side of Matthew's mouth, making him close it[/b] "PREPARE FOR LIFT OFF!" [b]He wildly giggles as Matthew lifts off and flies away, sending Suuz flying to the back of Matthew's mouth[/b]
-
"Well, let's speak business then" She says, her demeanor changing. She pulls out her laptop and powers it up, the screen illuminates the dark area inside the whale and she begins typing away. "And trading false I.D's inside a whale" she says to herself. "Anywho, have a look. Here's the identities I came up with before our meeting, these three in particular will surely get you inside the Infinite" She says as she narrows down the list. "My rate is 500 credits for each one you want, you already knew that however"
-
"Yaya, lemme hear the identities!" [b]she says as she sticks the the back of Matthew's mouth[/b]
-
"I'll just pick one for you" She responds, too lazy to read them out loud. "How does chef sound, or perhaps a bartender, wait, I don't think you're even of legal age for that" She scrolls through some more, looking for more candidates.

Edited by Nox: 2/22/2016 12:29:15 AM"Hey! I'm 21 y'know..." [b]He says, though he doesn't sound offended or even hurt... But more kidding, perhaps [/b]
-
"What?" She lifts her googles and stares with a bit of disbelief. "What?" She shakes the surprise aside and gets back to her searching. "Anyway, a chef is pretty low key, doesn't attract too much attention, but can you cook?"
-
"I like to think of myself as a master of the culinary arts" [b]he says proudly[/b] "I could try to cook something but we're in a whale so y'know...."
-
"Let's go with that then" She says as she uploads the necessary data into a memory drive. She unplugs it and twirls it in her fingers a bit. "Let's trade then"
-
[b]He delves into his pockets while still sticking to the back of the whale's mouth[/b] "I got..." [b]he pulls a wallet from his pocket which falls out of his hands 'cause he's upside down[/b] "could you uhm.... Help? I'm kinda stuck..."
-
She closes and puts away her laptop and makes her way towards her client. She him down and off the whale and helps him up. "Tell me, why do you in on the Infinite anyway?"
-
"Wanted to get a bigger view of our galaxy, the universe, learn about planets..." [b]she says after he firmly planted his feet down[/b] "Why do you want to go there?"
-
"At first, I just wanted to see if I could break into the ship, now I'm just as curious as you about what's out there"
-
"Why would you want to break into the ship....?"
-
"Right right, by breaking into it I mean the code, not the physical ship itself. And I did it for the hell of it, challenges are one of the things that keep me motivated"
-
"Heh, interesting... So, you're a fan of hacking is what I'm guessing... Must be handy. Can you hack into say... A pacemaker to shut it down, or into a cybernetic augmentation?"
-
" Oh no, body augmentations don't run on artificial intelligence, or coding for that matter, a cybernetic depends solely on the nerves of whoever has it attached, not code, same with a pacemaker"
-
"Interesting..." [b]He drops himself on his ass and crosses his legs before grabbing an apple from one of his pockets[/b] "Want one?"
-
"No, but thanks. I don't think I can eat with the thought of being inside a whale anyway"
-
[b]He suddenly begins to giggle like a little school girl[/b] "Hihi, isn't that the truth..."
