Okay so that wasn't exactly my kinda idea of a swim. FYI might be a bit better for business if you have a less creepy welcome speech. Better customer service, you know? Maybe answer a few questions that I had? And what does it mean by uh...dreaming, life and death?

Not important. Anyone else on the same boat? [Pause and a snort, cause they're on a...nevermind.] If there is, I'm gonna assume that means that we can't exactly just go home. That would be far too easy.

First port of call, where can I get some food because I'm kind of really hungry.

Uugh my throat also really hurts.

[Merle had gotten out of her sticky situation with the help o Ororo and Damian... the sticky situation that had involved her getting kidnapped (with them) by a sorry group of kedan gang-bangers.

She had, needless to say, kept a much lower profile of late. She was in yet another cafe now, idly clicking through people's posts and such, when she comes across Billy's. Have one cat-girl, Billy.]

It's great here. Minus the whole kidnapping the foreigners part... they aren't exactly gentle about it. Don't wander around alone unless you want to invite trouble, especially in the Metal and Fire sectors.

[Helpful Merle is being helpful.]

[He's not really staring, cat-like people, big massive green men he's seen a lot. But not usually looking so young? He listens to the advise and wrinkles his nose up.]

Kidnapping? Do you mind telling me more? What's actually going on?

[He might not know it, but she’s actually rather relieved to have someone not stare at her for a change! Beast-men are normal on Gaea, so to have people react to her as if she is the odd one out is strange and discomfiting for her.]
 
Yeah, kidnapping… They had a festival to welcome us here and I got here on the last day of it. Apparently they went to each Sector and had a big party or something, but when they celebrated the last day… things got a little crazy. When the crowd gathered in the square, a gang leader took two of us… two foreigners, I mean, hostage. He was going to kill them to protest or something.
 
[She grows pale as she talks about it, ears pinning back against her skull as her eyes pin.]
 
Another kedan… an officer… he showed up and saved the two women before the gang member could hurt them. He… he cut off his head.
 
[She swallows tightly around the knot in her throat. She’d been spattered with blood when it had happened and there was no chance that she would ever forget what she’d seen.]

[Billy listens and wow, as she goes on, he grows more and more worried. He doesn't know what to say to that. It sounded brutal, who was the officer that did it? It was good the people who had been kidnapped hadn't been hurt but the fact there was death?]

Oh my god...
