#IC #Canon: TLL #Ask/Invite

LLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE JOEL MARAVALLE SHOW!

>The serenity of the pristine new set was instantly shattered, it's host charging onstage with a berserker shriek, a gleaming golden battleaxe clutched in both hands as he immediately set to work dismembering his polished desk with wild attacks. A marathon of destruction followed as he mangled the furniture with every variety of tool at his disposal.

>After several minutes of this, almost the entire set reduced to rubble, he collapsed into his chair. Instantly, the holodeck shimmered, and the debris vanished, replaced by brand new, identical furniture.

>For several long moments, Joel stares into the middle distance, before standing up and sauntering over to a microphone by the front of the stage.

Hey, hey everyone!

>He shouted to a blatantly fake audience consisting of the same five people in vaguely different outfits, with the sole example of the hulking Pax Cultura, looking fairly awkward in the face of Joel's chaos.

Welcome to the first episode of the show, it's a great thing to finally get this started, and I'm hoping it only gets better.

>Behind him, a bookshelf glitches, turning into a wireframe before turning itself inside out and beginning to rattle ominously.

We've had a pretty crazy time lately, pretty crazy time. We've got Logan and some weird chick going and rescuing some new guys from some asshole, those lesbian rocks joined up, that's pretty neat. They've got a kid who turns into a murderous monster, I like that one. You've got those two Saiyans on a quest for a healing flower or some shit, that other Saiyan getting in a fight to rescue her girlfriend from her asshole mom's hired thug. Oh! It's that wrestler! I almost forgot! That's cool.

>The bookshelf returns to it's wooden texture, flashing through a dozen other textures on the way, before violently exploding, the shards vanishing as safety protocols finally kick in.

You've got that one asshole and his robot wife investigating a ghost ship. I hope he dies, that'd make me happy. Bolone's brother showed up, too. He's an asshole but a cool one. But the important bit is we're on vacation! We're here in the Galactic Protectorate, and we're having a fantastic time, by which I mean Emily's been dragging me around museums for a solid three weeks now. But the race is tomorrow! See me at the Moreau Open in my custom Thorson Kestrel!

>He coughs, shifting.

Oh yeah, we're supposed to have a co-host. He'll be around later, scout's honor. I think he's still hiding.

>Abruptly, the door explodes inward violently as Leena makes her entrance.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT LADY SHIJOU YOU MOTHERFU--"

<WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK

>The innuendo, intentional or not, didn't really register in Elliot's mind. He was too distracted by something else entirely.

"Honestly? This is actually a pretty petite little thing as far as starfighters go."

>If Arsene took a look in the neighboring hangar bays, assuming they weren't filled by Zoids or other non-fighter spacecraft, he'd see that a lot of them were noticeably larger than a Viper MkII

"As for the strong mind, the main difference between this and your ship would be how quick your reflexes have to be. 'Cause once you're in a dogfight..."

>Elliot figured the rest of that sentence practically said itself. He could explain the OODA Loop to him, but Elliot doubted Arsene was interested.

>Instead, Elliot just got into the pilot's seat and put his flight helmet on.

"Now, are we gonna have to FTL jump to this Burger place?'

Yeah but it isn't too far. It's on a small protectorate owned planet. I once did a delivery for them a while back so they gave me a discount that I have yet to use. Plus the cashier there is cute and he likes to see me too~

Also uh... Should I be wearing a helmet? Us harpies have good lungs but if you think I need one I can go without one.

>That gave Elliot pause. Enough that he didn't have time to notice the tinge of jealousy that went through him as Arsene gushed about the cashier.

"Ah shit... I dunno how safe it would be to FTL jump with two people in this seat."

>He could see his controls just fine over Arsene's shoulder, though. and it was almost like cuddling, the way they were seated now...
>Emily was right. Elliot really was touch-starved. That had to be why he was enjoying this so much.

"That harness you wear during a warp jump isn't a just-in-case measure. Lots of people think it is, but all that momentum's gotta go somewhere. So unless we can fit the harness over both of us..."

>Oh yeah. Arsene had another question.

"Don't worry about a helmet, though. I'm just using it for the comms."

I mean... It isn't too too far. I don't know the specifics with this. If should be a extra couple minutes if we don't FTL jump.

>Arsene paused, getting comfortable, seated in Elliot's lap.

So uh... What would happen if it isn't safe to do a FTL jump and we do one?

>there were several things that could happen and none of them sounded pretty when Arsene theorized on them.
>he was pretty tiny. His long bird legs accounted for most of his height. So it could be possible to fit the harness over both of them.

"Without a harness, you get thrown into my cockpit canopy at light speed. That would probably kill us both..."

>And it filled Elliot's mind with images he wanted to forget as soon as possible...

"Now, the harness isn't designed for two people, but I can't see why it wouldn't work. It would just be like having me as your chair, I guess."

>As Elliot said this all, he was beginning to perform his pre-flight checks with the ease of a pilot who had done this so many times that his arms were practically doing the pre-flight checklist for him.

"Might also get a little uncomfortable, being pressed together by the harness."

>But if it was Arsene, somehow Elliot didn't mind as much.

>No one would have certainly thought much of one of the ships in question that landed in the hub, looking right at home among the other (most likely stolen) ships of those of ill repute. And it was certainly an opposing ship just from appearance alone, looking more like an absurd flying weapon with its sharp edges and dark steel covered in the scars of battle. It wasn't a small ship by any means either, probably a frigate of some sort.

>Surely someone in command of such a ship would be just as ruthless. A bloodthirsty space pirate or perhaps an unhinged marauder? So it was probably a bit of a shock when said commander stepped out of the ship to take in his surroundings, looking completely out of place with such a ship. Standing tall and proud, looking incredibly unimpressed with everything around him was a man of Tiamatian origin, if the weird mishmash of elven and draconic features, and all around “I’m better than you” attitude were anything to go by.

“Captain Valerius, it shouldn’t take too long to refuel and then we can continue our search.”

>The man turned towards one of his crew that had followed after him and gave them a curt nod.

“Good. I want off this filthy rock as soon as possible and to locate my sister. This entire operation has been a fool’s errand.”

>The crewmember just sighed, not wanting to point out that the princess had the right idea and risk incurring the wrath of the crown prince of Tiamat. So, without another word on the matter, they just quietly left to go about their business and left Valerius to continue to idly observe and stew in his thoughts, unaware of the danger lurking nearby.

>If the ship's captain was a surprising mix of features, the crewmember that scuttled out behind him was enough to give the most hardy of souls a heart attack. Thousands of cultures across the galaxy had some concept of a creator god assembling and designing the living beasts and birds of the world. If that was indeed the case, Noe seemed to have been glued together from the scraps left over on the seventh day.

Captain Valerius! Val!

>His robe fluttered around him as he hurried down the ramp, tied closely to his body in a fairly thorough attempt at concealment. Despite his best efforts, the flapping brown cloth gave the haphazard assembly of onlookers flashes of different, mismatched body parts.

You weren't answering your comms! We have an incoming ship entering the system with Jupiter Empire IFF transponders!

>Reactions from what few pirates understood his scratchy voice varied, a small handful heading off to their ships hastily, although most seemed entirely baffled by a figure best described as "neither fish, flesh, nor good red herring" giving such an unexpected warning. This was Ladus 8S, for god's sake. The Empire had never shown even the slightest interest in it beyond the occasional official bounty hunter.

I guess the harness was designed with stuff like this in mind.

>Yup. It seems Arsene's hunch was correct. It's surprisingly comfortable with two people strapped in.

"Fucktown, this is Pequod. Requesting takeoff clearance."

>Arsene might have noticed the shift in Elliot's tone as he talked to the Air Traffic Controller. He'd gone from his usual soft-spoken uncertainty to an incredibly clear, professional tone. As if he were one of the pilots for one of those major space passenger services.

<"Pequod, we're pretty quiet at the moment, you can proceed direct to runway 22 Lima at your convenience. What's your departure angle?"

>Once He'd been given the instruction, the Viper would begin to roll forward at a careful, gradual pace.

"Arrowshaft, pending directions to destination."

<"Understood. Just one soul aboard?"

"Two, Fucktown."

<"In that little thing? Are you equipped for a passenger, Pequod?"

"Affirmative."

>The Viper would begin to turn, and the void shield protecting the hangar from the cold vaccum of space slowly panned into sight.

"Pequod, firing up."

>With that, Elliot threw the throttle wide open and sent the starfighter careening into the dark of space. While Elliot was quite used to the sensation of being pressed against his seat, he wasn't used to having another body pressed against the front of his with equal force. Yet somehow, it did little to throw off his game.

>Once the glow of the void shield had blasted passed them, and all that surrounded them was the stars and the Lost Light to their rear, Elliot would ease off the throttle to a cruising speed.

"Alright. Point in the direction that we've got to make this light jump."

>Elliot quickly cross-referenced the direction that Arsene pointed in with his own internal rolodex of nearby systems and their coordinates. Alright, Elliot was pretty sure he knew where what system the burger joint was in. Once he'd figured it out, he gave the engines a little more juice and pointed the Viper towards the correct angle.

"I uh... I guess we'll see how we're feeling once we've had our food."

>Truth be told, Elliot had a burning desire to show off just what this starfighter could do maneuver wise. Not just to Arsene, but to himself too. But it sounded like time was of the essence, so he held his tongue.

"But for now, I need to start the lightspeed jump. Get ready."

>Once Arsene looked sufficently braced, Elliot hit the pedal to engage the warp drive.
>If the takeoff pressed the two of them together hard, the pressure from a lightspeed jump would make it seem like a gentle shove. Seriously. Elliot would be able to feel the individual vertebrae of Arsene's spine press against his sternum, and Arsene would feel his shoulder blades rubbing up against Elliot's ribs. Both of which would be happening hard enough to cause spine and rib-shaped pain.

>The jump lasted only a few seconds, though, and soon enough Elliot released his foot from the warp pedal. Now came the test to see if that harness really did work for two.
>It did! But just because it was safe didn't mean it was comfortable...

>but, now, Arsene braced himself for the jump. It wouldn’t be his first time, but he never got use to doing them. The feeling of moving so fast but moving so slow at the same time. A weird feeling that he couldn’t quite place. This was from a guy who has practically immune to motion sickness.

>thankfully for Elliot’s rib cage, Arsene was very light. As a species who was meant to fly around and stay airborne, his bones weren’t as hard as a normal human. Unfortunately for Arsene, the difference in bone density would lead him spine sore as it pressed up against Elliot’s chest.
>thankfully, there would be no bones breaking today, other than a quiet pop, akin to cracking your knuckles.

>If Elliot got the coordinates right, which he definitely did, considering his skill at piloting, the two would be right at a small orbital base, orbiting over a protectorate planet. It was definitely smaller than a small burger place stationed on an asteroid.
Welcome to Flamestokers.

It’s a marketplace of sorts were people trade and shop. Some places take money while others go by the barter system.

Like some sort of edible GPS, but I’m not sure how good that would be. If you ate it too early, you wouldn’t be able to find the way to your destination.

Perhaps while we're here, I can show you the rest of the city. It would be silly to come all the way here just to get a burger huh? Plus, I don't like traveling after I eat, just like to walk around or rest.

As much as he wanted to see what would become of this situation, he really didn't want to put his crew into danger, so he quickly followed after Noe back into the ship as soon as the base's defenses brought down the incoming vessel.

"I want off of this base immediately!"

"Captain, sir, we're still not sufficiently fueled enough. We would never make it far enough!"
