Thread: Into Western Space ( MasterOfWhispers and Ms_Muffintops)

The ship was indeed luxurious... truthfully it was almost like a dream. It was most certainly a mansion with wings and there weren't even any tiny bunks... there were actual bedrooms... with their own bathrooms! This ship could be heaven for Lily. And she knew somewhere... surely, they had a secret stock of guns hidden. A group like Jackal 9 didn't travel without backup, and backup was an understatement. Knowing him, this ship had more guns than Miguel and Lily had combined. All Lily needed was some guns to hold her off until she could get the money for her gadgets and gear which she had lost when they made a run for it. They could either cash in the ship, split the money, and go their separate ways. But a ship like this simply wouldn't fetch them enough money each... the damn bounty was worth more! And they'd both be rich if running a ship, stocking ammo, and weapon maintenance wasn't so expensive. She knew they'd probably regret running around in this ship, but it was a nice ship. If she were to have a ship like this... she might as well share it with someone and split the costs for maintaining it. If she had to share with anyone, it'd be Miguel. He was skilled, and he wasn't some perverted ass. Well... he was probably perverted to some level, but at least he was a gentleman towards her Perhaps it was because he seemed to have a thing for her. Would he be able to stand living on the same ship as a girl he fancies? Up until that day, she couldn't stand the guy... with almost every bounty... there he was! They were competition, yet he was always so sweet to her, and he was so good at what he did. He was even competition, yet he was such a gentleman. It was so uncommon and convenient, she found it easier to hate him. Lily could have easily flipped out on him... shot him ditched him at the next station, and leave him to whoever stumbled upon him, and take the ship to make up for forcing her to sacrifice her ship and bounty. While thinking about all of this, the young woman just sat on the couch across from him and slowly sipped the bottle of beer that he had tossed her. Finally, her gaze shifted to Miguel, that tall, dark, and handsome, bounty hunter and smirked. Yeah yeah... anything to get close to me huh? This must be a dream come true... you've been on my trail for so long... and here you have me... Lily joked as she got up and went over to the bars fridge, hoping to find something to eat. The kitchen was fully stocks... it surely wouldn't stay that way, they couldn't afford the food he had on this ship, but at least it was there for the time being. But Lily would get around to rummaging the stock in there later on. In the fridge was a tray of various finger foods, for when he held parties with reputable guests she presumed. She chose a carrot stick and sat back down on the couch, this time relaxing a bit more than before. You know... if we keep this thing... we're going to have to pain it or something. Every bounty hunter in the galaxy knows what this ship looks like and who it belongs to. We could get shot down at any moment. Best to take it into a small town and get it painted or disguised somehow... she explained before taking a bite out of her carrot stick. Once she swallowed, she continued, Anyways, while we're partnered up, might as well keep the ship, and if we want to keep the ship, we gotta stay partnered up. Either way, we're stuck together for the time being. Though I'm sure you won't object to that. Still got that damn Jackal 9 to get, and from what it sounds like... he's working for someone else. It sounds like you know him... The petite bounty hunter let out a soft giggle.
