Thread: Rent is Due (Sharub & Cerberus)

Shoshanne wasn't new to space-travel and she was well aware of the wonders that nature made in space, giving life and intellect to any kind and sort of creatures, from jellies to many-limbed insectoids, but she couldn't expect to be greeted by the bizarre thought of what seemed, all in all, a Terran wolf, with its ears perked in the air and the pointy nose ready to catch the smell of everything that enters his territory. As she approached the creature sat behind a table, she noticed his hands moving beneath it, searching for something. As he extracted the blaster, Shoshanne gasped in surprise and backed away from him, genuinely panicking. I'm done thought her They caught me already, her heart thumped in her chest as she was getting ready to be zapped and call an end for her short-lived escape from her past. Still, the wolf pointed the weapon away from her her eyes followed the blaster and spotted an insectoid that, clearly, was trying to sneak away from the building. When the wolf returned to her, she was still lightly trembling, but the calm voice of the wolf reassured the girl that tried again to appear calm and unconcerned from the fact. Yessir! answered in a forced cheerfulness, trying to play the role of the ingenuous tourist again Three months indeed! But who knows that they might not multiply? I already love this planet! she wasn't sure of her play, but the truth behind her words were of no importance for the wolf, as he casually kept explaining the rules of the rent. Shoshanne nodded silently while listening carefully to what he had to say, casually holding the fastenings of her backpack. Aye answered her with a military salute Rent is To be paid before the 3rd of the month. No exceptions. Otherwise... she finished her line mimicking a gun with her right hand, but she immediately realzied how out-of-place it was, the girl assumed a serious stance, and, as soon as she could, grabbed the keys over the table. She saw him sniffing the air in front of her, but the image quickly vanished away, sure that for a wolf-like creature, that was a normal and undestandable habit... Shit thought her while walking toward the stairs and, presumably, elevators i hope he wouldn't really care of who comes in and out his apartments... really... that was suspicious... and hinting being zapped? ...idiotic move, Shush. Mumbling about the success or insuccess of her deceithful acts in the office, she found the lifts nearby and pressed the screen that indicated her level. Quickly and silently, the lift moved with a gentle hiss, moving the girl at her floor within seconds. The corridor was dimly lit with blue-ish leds running on the rims of the roof, giving the whole corridor the same appearance of a spacecraft living-area, walking over the empty hall, Shoshanne searched for her apartment, looking at the glowing numbers that, now and then, flickered over the metallic-looking doors. Finally, she reached for her room and with a swift motion of the key in front the lock waited for the door to open, still, it remained silent. Looking at the key in her hand, she noticed that it was not a magnetic-locker with a curious keyring, but what she thought being the keyring was actually the key. ...primitive... muttered the girl while inserting the metallic tube into the lock. The door opened silently, allowing her to enter her apartment. Moving inside and closing the door at her back, she threw her backpack on a white table in the middle of the room, and after having stretched her neck and shoulders, explored the small yet comfortable room, mumbling at everything she saw and forcing herself to getting accustomed to her new home. Few minutes later and with the apartment fully explored, she remembered that she was totally credit-less and the thought of having to deal a missing rent with Garraus was out of discussion. Immediately, she left her room and ran downstairs where the main office was I need money thought her while running the stairs He lives here. I am sure he will tell me where to find a job... taking a deep breath and gulping at the sight of the busy wolf, she moved forward ...uhm... hi... do you have a minute?
