Orlandia

(I WANNA GO SHOPPING!!!)

[skysu]

The Queens Gambit pulls into port smoothly everything went according to plan (heres hoping *fingers crossed*) and the bay door opens to let the crew out into the city. Skye stands alone in the brig for a moment staring out the window at the skies away from Orlandia remembering everything that had happened to her here, with a sigh she shook off the foreboding and shouldered her pack, they crew was planing on spending their nights in an inn as opposed to their ship and she made sure everything was safe inside, no stoves on or anything potentially dangerous ready in the engine room to explode, then she made her way out. The rest of the crew was long gone, readying their adventures in Orlandia. She flipped her hair back behind her ears and crossed over the threshold from her home, to the world she had left behind so long ago. She couldn't keep the small smile from her face as she walked through the busy market streets looking at pretty things or at new weapons, she didn't buy anything as of yet, perhaps she'd come back, but her main goal was to find the inn and check in so she could put her stuff down and explore orlandia more freely. The sun glinted off the goggles on top of her aviator cap that secured her hair from becomming too much of an annoyance while flying, around her neck was a locket, that was empty except for a slightly charred piece of paper that could have once held a photo, a crystal of un known origins rested just below this. Her vest jacket was furred around the collar for cold nights flying, but now it was just a bit of an nuisance in the summer heat. The white shirt she wore under it was slightly riped in places but it still served its purpose, the poofy sleves fell off her shoulder as she walked down the main street her eyes scanning the area around her. She wore a waist cincher to keep her shirt from flying everywhere in a harsh wind and below that was a belt that held her holster for her old flintlock pistol, her watch and a set of keys as well as a bag that hung and other small compartments for holding things. Today she wore tan pants with a pair of black thigh high boots over them, they were much used and it showed a little. All in all it looked like she was ready to begin an adventure and her blue eyes sparkled with an excitement for it all to begin.

(yeap that pretty much describes my first costume lol)

The bouncer flung him into a pile of trash in the back ally yelling, "Next time you decide to swindle someone in a game of cards make sure it isn't the owner of the casino you fool!" Kictpra got up and dusted off his clothes and mumbled to himself, "Sheesh, not my fault that the man couldn't win a hand of hold'em to save his life, i didn't even have to fix my hand." He looked down at the bouncer's coinpurse that he was finger, "Well at least I get a free meal as a consolation prize." Kictpra tossed the wallet in the air and quicken his pace. While navigating through the city streets, Kictpra sighed thought to himself: 'It's such a pain to make an honest coin, there's such a low demand for private navigators seeing as no military ship would let a privateer anywhere but the brig and most private ships have their own.' He stumbled as he snapped out of his own little world and looked up to see an advertisement for the stone blessing ceremony. He pulled the flier down and stared at it,"Huh, I forgot it was this soon." And no sooner did he finish that statement than did a grin slowly start to form on his face. "Well, since I can't seem to get a flush, maybe I win with a pair and aquiest some donations for my cause." Kictpra then folded the leaflet in to a glider and tossed it onto the breese as he vanished into the crowds.

Skye sighed as she walked her bag over her right shoulder she scanned the area around her, looking around her for something of interest, she saw decorations everywhere.

Kictpra scanned the crowd to find benefactors and then set his sights on a young women in an aviator's cap. 'Hmm,' he thought 'Cute and a full purse on her belt, two birds with one stone' Kictpra nonchalantly made his way towards her through the crowd, then bumping into her making them both stumble. "Gah, I'm sorry," he said as he discretely slid her coin purse into his vest. "I was off in my own little world and didn't see u there, thought how I missed such a ravishing creature I've yet to figure out."

[skysu]

She smiled at him after she felt her belt lighten lightly from her purse being lifted. "I bet you were..." she said softly before reaching quickly into his vest and held up the coin purse with one hand before she tucked it into a more secure place, before holding her gun towards him the barel against his chest, while she was just inches away. "What do you want?" she questioned.

[theonewhoseeks]

With a smirk on his face he showed her both hands. "Ah, well what I want was your coin and perhaps a drink, but I'm pretty sure both those options are now off the table, so I shall cut my losses and take my leave. Kictpra turned his back, grin widening, thinking, 'Hmm, she can fight, but not experienced in close quarters, otherwise that gun would have never been within my reach. And a smart girl, too bad she took the wrong purse, hers has at least double of what that idiot bouncer had.'

[skysu]

She checked her purse after he was gone then muttered a curse then swiftly went through the crowds until she found him again, she grabbed him by the collar of his vest and pulled him into a side alley. "Give me back what belongs to me." she said shortly glaring at him.

[theonewhoseeks]

He look at her and smiled, "Ah but if I did that then what reason would u have to chase me?"

[skysu]

She smirked lightly, "is there anything that would stop me from killing you?" she questioned him lifting her gun towards him but not as close this time.

[theonewhoseeks]

He grabbed her arm and lock it behind he back,swept her legs and then pressed her to the ground, her cap fallling off her head "I've no doubt that you're an experienced player," he said as he brushed some hair out of her face with his free hand. "But I've been doing this since daddy bought your first ship." He took the bouncer's purse out of her jacket and tossed hers in her cap, removing two coins from it, "A penalty, but its been fun." he got off her and dusted his pant legs and turned to walk away, one hand pocket and the other in a waving gesture. "May my path intersect with that of an angel's yet again."

[skysu]

She muttered frustratedly and pushed herself up. "Hey!" she said picking up a rock and throwing it at the back of his head. "You're just going to walk away like that?" she said sharply.

[theonewhoseeks]

Rubbing his head, he turned, "Well I assumed so, I gave you back your purse, but if you'd like me to take more of your pride," he said while loosening his neck. "Then name your game and I'd be happy to oblige."

[skysu]

She rested her hand against her hip and looked at him brushing her hair out of her eyes. "What kind of game?" she questioned softly.

[theonewhoseeks]

"That depends on your wager." He smiled "You can bet anything from a kiss to your father's large estate."
