Carth's magical adventure, ROUND TWO, MOTHERFUCKERS!

[Anastasia]

Carthrat Tanewaki has expired bounties on him.  They have been purged from the system.

[Carthrat]

"I *was* one of them," corrects Carthrat. "Hum.. well, I'm too lazy to do anything but.. this."

She sets up an alarm bell that'll go off if the 'Starscreamer' comes into port..

"Right now, I'm out to make more cash."

[Anastasia]

"Okay, good luck," she nods, going back to the laptop.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat-chan sets out to the arena again, signing in her name as... one Kiriko Yumi.

[Anastasia]

There are the requisite four matches in D class available today, you note.

[Carthrat]

'Kiriko' signs up for all of them..

[Anastasia]

"Thank you," the robot beeps. "Good luck, Contestant Kiriko Yumi."

[Carthrat]

'Kiriko' heads into the ready room, already bored.

She makes a note to be slightly more 'graceful' in these fights; after all, there's probably someone out there who knows about these curse things..

Quiet apart from that, she makes sure she's wearing lots of red, instead of black.

[Anastasia]

A few hours later, Carthrat is C 200 richer.  All four fights were nothing but scrubs, easy to dispose of.

Walking out from the payment area, Carthrat is hungry again.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat heads back to her apartment, for a change of clothes and a change of gender. "Oi, Rachel! You hungry?"

[Anastasia]

"Sure," she calls. "Oh, you're a guy again," she notes.

[Carthrat]

"Was it the lack of chest or the extra height that told you that?" asks Carthrat, dryly.

[Anastasia]

"The five o clock shadow," she says. "You need to shave."

[Carthrat]

"I do? Well, that can wait," replies Carthrat. "Come'on, let's get some food and then go to bed."

[Anastasia]

"Right," she gets up, ready to go...

The next day dawns, another in this bleak outpost of money and gambling.
