Thread: Rent is Due (Sharub & Cerberus)

Shoshanne woke sighed in melancholy as her deep-blue eyes gazed trough the thin layer of glass that separated her from the cold emptyness of deep space. Her shuttle was quicly travelling from Terra to Rolopay-IV and the humming of the antimatter motors echoed in her ears without peace, now, making the farewell to her life even more difficult to endure She had to leave everything... or the few things she knew to have... and embark for an almost unknown planet and try for herself at the game of surviving. The voice of her mother and her father still sounded in her mind, reminding her to be safe and stay strong things in which Shoshanne believed until her parents were accused of treason and executed with a fake trial, forcing Shoshanne to leave the whole Sector of the Galaxy in order to escape the corrupt tentacles of what was called justice. Hours and hours accumulated, and her legs started to accuse aches and doze, no matter the position she assumed. In her hands, a small holo-terminal showed images of Rolopay-IV, her new home, showing busy factories, thriving mines and fast-paced offices, all of those images were packed by workers of every known specie, giving the image of a Planet that was open to everyone and more than welcoming toward those who need to disappear and restart their new life. Without a single question being made. Shoshanne wasn't even surewhy did she embarked in such a reckless adventure all on her own having spent every single Credit she had for the travel and a pre-paid couple of days of rent in Rolocity. Finally, the humming tone of the antimatter motor turned into a low-deep tune, signaling the proximity of the planet. Immediately raising her gaze from the terminal in her hands and looked at the planet its atmosphere appeared as inflamed, tinged in red and orange hues with darker clouds here and there. An hand moved a strand of blonde hairs from her forehead, allowing her eyes to wander over this mesmerizing sight, allowing her to forget the burden that weighted on her heart. Soon enough, the shuttle trembled and fire appeared outside the windows, causing gasps and yelps in the aliens that never get used to the effect of an airship entering into a planetary atmosphere. Rolopay-IV Rolocity Spaceport, near the exit access point Shoshanne walked following the universally-recognized emblem of an exit, without care for her sorroundings, spotting only now and then a few inhabitants that looked in her direction and quickly walked away. Not used to humans, i guess thought Shoshanne with a shrug, she could have understood that, afterall, humans were not seen SO willingly in that new sector of the Galaxy. Gulping away the idea that maybe she did a bad choice among the billions of other planet-candidates that could have been her home, She activated her holoterminal, following the indications for her rented apartment. Few minutes into the roads of Rolocity gave Shoshanne the hopes she needed for keeping her morale enough over the line, witnessing dozens of different species working together and making a living in that melting pot. With a smile, she was now sure that, with the due time to make her forget her past, she too could become an happy worker of that planet almost forgotten by Googlactic Maps. Her terminal beeped and vibed in her hands, making her to remind that she was not a tourist visiting that orange-hued city on the sunset, but her new, lovely home was there. Sure, her short-shorts and the orange tank-top that clinged on her healthy chest were practically an uniform for tourists back on Terra, but she had to at least give the impression she was going on a tour if she didn't wanted Political Police on her back within few meters from the Spaceport. She moved her eyes from the floor, looking at the incredibly tall skyscraper that shone in the light of that system's sun. Amazed by that sight, she adjusted her unadequately small backpack and walked inside the building, where she spotted what seemed to be the landlord or the custodian. Sporting a friendly smile, Shoshanne approached the figure Hi! I am just arrived, there should be a rented room booked for Shoshanne
