"Simple. I don't have any credits- that's the currency used out there- so I'm making him a gun to pay for the trip. We're heading out to a gambling hall on Charon, where I can make some real money and get myself a ship, or at least further transport."

<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat

"A week to make the gun, and a week and a half to the flight. Which puts us to leaving next Thursday," replies Carthrat. "It's all good. In the meantime, I'll take you out to town each night. Lotta things y'gotta learn.

Oh, and keep that card. Don't worry about overspending, I've got more money than I know what to do with."

"Out to town?" She twiches strangely. "You make it sound like..."

It's left hanging, but the meaning is there.

Carthrat

"Bah, do I look like a creep to you?" snorts Carthrat. "Besides, everyone will think you're my favourite niece. There are worse fates, I'm sure."

Anastasia

She twiches again, but makes no further comment immediately.

After a short pause, she says, "So...are we going to go to a hotel? I'd like to get a shower and a change of clothes."

Carthrat

"Yeah, a nice hotel. 5 stars. The Hilton," replies Carthrat. "I spare no expense. It's about 5:00, and I wanna go out for dinner at about 7:00, so we should be right," he continues. "Oh yeah, do you know how to drive?"

Rachel whistles quietly.

"Yes, I've had to drive a fair deal since Diane vanished." She says it matter of factly.

Carthrat

"Great, that means you won't have trouble learning how to fly when we get ourselves a ship," replies Carthrat, dumping all the junk in the rental car and climbing in. "Right, let's go."

The car ride to the hotel of your choice is relatively short, as is checking in. Once that's taken care of, you have things to do...and you are also getting a bit tired. Jet lag, perhaps.

Looking around the suite you rented, the large bed looks temping.

Carthrat

"Sleepy.." murmers Carthrat. "We mayswell eat at the hotel, Rachel-chan. Have a shower or whatever, I'm taking a nap."

A muffled okay, shouted from the bathroom, is your answer. That bed looks good for the eight seconds you see it before passing out.

"Mmmm...."

As you stretch and wake up from your slumber, you blearily look around.  It's quiet, and the far window is letting in nighttime lights and reflections. Rachel isn't around, as far as you can see.

It  says the time is 9:51 PM.  Your stomach rumbles as you do this, and the thought of a meal sounds very good suddenly.

Carthrat

"Ah, fuck!" mumbles Carthrat. "Dammit, gotta adjust to the frigging timezone.."

He runs a quick scan as he gets out of bed..
