Current I'm about to be banished for the good of the realm again. Where is the trust in this world, I ask you?

I'm sorry, you've reached his personal secretary, Department of Shrubbery, Floor 64, Desk 1024. How can we help you today?

Or buy a van or a used rental truck. Something nobody would look twice at. You can put in a rack for the rope, duct tape, plastic sheeting, shovels....

Never trust a car salesman - especially a used car salesman. Have a buddy park across the street and see how many stuffed body bags you can shove in there. Gotta have room for plastic sheeting, etc.

Neil Gaiman wrote in his Good Omens bio that he likes it when fans send him $50. (He read Terry Pratchett's bio and figured it wouldn't hurt.)

Bio

I am a seven-foot tall minecraft-playing hindu guru drag-queen alien.

Possessor of an Ancient Device™ Model 17. No, I don't know what it does. No, you can't play with it.

Pronouns: It. As in: "What is it? What does it want? Why is it here? Oh my god, it's got my... <insert random body part or object here>"

Likes: World Domination, Writing, Rpg, scifi/fantasy, anime, sketchup 3d models, and anime music videos.

Companions: a host of characters from other games, my personal muse Penny (as in Bad), and the Badger gang - Toothpick, Buttons, Shark, and Mongo. They grew up in the balcony of an old theatre that played a lot of gangster movies. Normally benign, but may invade the OOC forums.

Are there still openings for this one?

If it would help, I've got a Battle Fury who's changing professions to Wish Fulfillment.
Despite all those questions I asked in the interest thread to get this to connect for me, I haven't been able to come up with a character, so I'm afraid I'll have to pass.
Jack Mallory, X.O.


The sudden stop that pushed Jack against the seatbelts knocked the air out of his lungs, leaving him gasping for a few moments before he managed to inhale as he shuddered in his seat from the effort. His hand found the release and the straps slitter away, and he leaned over the console, breathing raggedly while wincing at the pain in his chest. When he felt his breathing return to normal, he sat up and grabbing the mic for the ship's intercom, switching it to the general circuit.

"All departments, make a casualty and damage assessment and report in," he drawls, trying to sound reassuringly calm, as if this had just been another routine landing. "Uh, all passengers, report any emergency to the crew members in your area. Please avoid moving from your current compartment until further notice."

Well, that's it for the Jo, Jack scowled. There's no way the certification board will allow her to fly again. They're going to have to start from scratch.
This place has an archive? Interesting

I see where this is going haha. I'd imagine it'd depend on the quality of the substance and the processing it's gone through. For instance, if it's of pharmaceutical origins, yes it would. But that quantity of pharmaceutical-grade smuggled drugs would both be hard to transport and hard to acquire. As well as incredibly valuable. For the sake of creating an interesting scenario, I'm going to say he has a small quantity of pharmaceutical-grade splinter in crated pill bottles in his room, as well as a few other crates stashed in a few other places. In his room, about 1kg of Splinter in pill bottles, but it's in a crate, so the Krite may have some struggle moving it. In other places in the ship stashed may be another 4kg of the crated pharmaceutical splinter. And the other 25kgs is mostly stashed in various sections of the bulkhead, in the form of powder bricks (like coke or ket), and though valuable, a brick splinter isn't nearly as valuable as the same quantity of pharmaceutical splinter. It's probably most comparable to the ket trade: pharmaceutical shit is worth big bucks, because of it's high quality. And brick goods of unknown quality are worth less, but fair easier to hide and transport, as well as acquire.


Not an expert on this, but pills are for immediate use - that's a charge for distribution, just for having them. Makes handy bribes.

But bricks of unknown quality? High quality bricks go for big bucks, because they can be further processed into crates of pharma-grade product, or stretched further for street sales. Low quality bricks, and the seller might get lucky to break even. Bricks of unknown quality? That's a rip-off unless it's raw unprocessed product. If it's tainted goods, unusable, and one might not survive the exchange.

Or worse, it's stolen from someone else. Hope none of it is marked, it's awkward to return stolen product back to the original owners.
The gel was supposed to remove the various greases on her hands and feet so it wouldn't get matted in the fur - but it stripped out the natural oils as well. She sighs, reaching for the open hatch and began making her way up the passage, massaging her hands in the towel to work out the last of the gel and put her mind on her next problem - social interaction.

It wasn't enough to explain the scars on her face were from a mugging, or that she spent the last several years working in a ship yard repairing spaceships. They knew she was holding something back. Like prison.

She could feel the butterflies stirring in her stomach. They kept pressing for details. The kinds of details that would send her back. And not to work on the line, oh no. They'd stick her in the Hole, with all those spiders....

Karma shivers, feeling the chill running down her spine....
Karma's leaving engineering and heading for the mess. Who knows who she'll bump into?
