Hm.
This was a whole new solar system!
He had been chased by some pathetic stellar guards from Rigel. Of course, after a hop from Rigel to Andromeda, then over to Betelgeuse and around to Sirius, then a final hope over to Tau Ceti got them off his back for a little while. Then a bounty hunter caught right up to him and he had to make another hop of course to this other galaxy. In his home of Viter 5, this was known as Naimeran, which meant ‘Primitive galaxy’ in their world. Though, according to the old archives and what not, the first people who lived here called their galaxy the Milky Way. Ugh. The secretion of a bovine creature…that wasn’t something they should have named their world after.
But, they got all wiped out apparently in the early years. Then there was some sort of…well he wasn’t sure, they came back somehow, he had no idea how, but evolution and luck was a bit of a tricky thing. He wasn’t going to question it. Though these creatures were weird to say the least, they were called Humans, and he had to admit…they seemed delicious. A few stray humans had been cryogenically frozen and sent in a long distance spaceship. He hadn’t gotten to eat them, but he had heard of the people who killed them.
Oh he wanted something to eat.
Slowly all of his lavender tentacles, the ones that were protruding from the side of his chest, pulled from the strange sockets in the chair. Soft hands rose up to his head and pulled the strange helmet that was linked to his mind. Ah, bio-mechanical technology, hooked up to his body and head. He also took off the strange grey gloves, ones that seemed to have multiple wires and tubes going to the chair. It was all hooked up to him, it was all quite normal for him to be virtually interfaced to his ship, this was the technology of his people.
Half of it was biological, the other half was technological.
Impressive technology for some.
He moved to the back of his ship, it was a tiny little thing, compared to star cruisers and Viter Star-ships, which were massive hulking behemoths of technology and bio-ingenuity. It was only a hundred feet long and barely eight feet tall. The entire ship seemed to be a strange almost…dark beige colour, like a skin of some sort. There was a strange light blue tinge to the outside of the ship, it was the shield of course, and it was most important for him.
The strange lavender man with the big golden eyes opened up a small compartment in his ship, simply by running his hand across it. The ship knew him well, it knew his touch and his wants, mostly because it knew his mind, which had reached out and told it what he wanted. Ah, improved brain function, such a handy thing.
Inside the drawer there were several things, arms, legs, hands, most of them seemed to be cut by a strange instrument, ones that burnt the flesh around the cuts, so one could presume a laser or something close to it right? Taking out a large violet arm, he went back to his seat and began to bite into it, rows of dagger sharp teeth simply bit clean into the arm, tearing flesh from it like it was nothing to him. He slipped his helmet back on though to observe what his sensors saw. Hm.
Space stations.
Here?
Seems the primitive group wasn’t as primitive then, how fascinating. He told his ship to lay in a course for the nearest space station, which it did, activating the sub-light drive and speeding off toward the particular space station. It took him no more than an hour to reach the space station, by then he had done eating, discarding the bone out an airlock, and was within range for a communication. Opening all channels he began to listen, letting his ship get a feel for the words and phrases. He hovered there simply, out of range and with his sensor cloak activated. He was too small to really see with the naked eye, so all he had to hide from was the sensors.
Eventually his ship picked up the language, and it downloaded into his neural interface. Sometimes it was handy to have your brain being an actual computer. The brain was wonderful, the most complex biological computer system.
He opened a standard hailing frequency and waited for a response.
“This is Skarol of Viter 5, requesting permission to dock.� Heh. They probably hadn’t a clue where Viter 5 was, but it was quite a ways away, far beyond the Andromeda galaxy.
He wanted to see what these strange people were all about. Maybe they would be easy to break, binding one to his will. Maybe even find food from them. He so wanted to know how they tasted. When access was finally granted their docking bay, he laid in a course and quickly decided to get some material on to cover himself. A simple groupings of scraps, a large puffy shirt of dark navy, the material was soft and silky smooth, but seemed to be a lot tougher than silk. His pants were simple chemically created fibres, tough, weather resistant, and flexible. He had chosen deep saffron, something that stuck out and contrasted to his skin. Of course, all of this was hidden by the large grey cloak he threw on. It had a hood, and it was simple enough for him to reach his hands, or tentacles through.
He wore no shoes, letting his large four toed feet simply stick through. They might find them strange, but he could climb walls with them, or even grip onto things likes poles or weapons. They had three toes at the front, and one at the back, they looked similar to a lizard toe from Earth.
All was complete then. Decompressing his airlock, he headed into the space station, deciding to see what was here. There were signs EVERYWHERE too, ones that were denoted in different colours, probably to show importance. The colour coded system meant nothing to him, but he assumed things like the bridge and crew quarters weren’t openly available. A shame. However, this looked promising. Recreation. A place to relax. That’s where he headed. There was a great many of these rooms and different floors, and he found one that he liked. Nearly empty, just a few people, enjoying…he wasn’t sure what. There were screens that were showing various things, entertainment and news it looked like. Some others had helmets on.
He headed to one of the chairs that had a helmet on it, plucking it up and putting it on. Then he waited. Nothing happened. At all. There wasn’t anything. Nothing showed up on his mind’s eye. He could hear though, speakers were installed in the headset apparently. Opening his eyes he nearly yelled with surprise as there was a man in front of him, talking about the current conditions of space travel. How…primitive. No neural net interfaces to link to his mind.
He took the helmet off with disgust, pulling his cloak tighter around him. This place wasn’t very favourable. He found it…cold. Not cold enough to enter a state of metabolic hibernation, but still it was cold. Lousy humans.
Well this soured his mood considerably.

((It’s not the best, but, I have some little bit to reply to… if there isn’t enough I can write it when I’m… erm.. Normal xD))
Pushing feather like hair out of her face, Mai sighed and looked down at her book, and huffed. Lounging on a chair, her legs tucked up under her, Mai flipped a page, then flipped the book, with a rather loud drawn out ‘boring’ as it landed in a page bending heap behind her and the chair. Long pointed ears added to her already seemingly tall height, an even 5’6�, short white blonde hair, to her shoulders, and a long brain of hair, reaching to her waist. Large brown eyes, and rosy lips, on which an evil little smirk was resting as she stood up and began to wander. Her brothers dumped her off in this chilly rust bucket ((not that Maitrese knew the difference, she doesn’t usually stay on ships of any kind)) and she’d been bored ever since.
Staying true to her ‘home colours’ Mai wore nearly sheer white clothing, a halter-top like thing, and some fancy-shmancy loincloth that looked kind of like a slutty dress. She’d have to wander around the place aimlessly, nowhere to be, so, everywhere to walk. As a lucidius, Mai gave off her own heat, even half naked; she was warm as a heater, though she herself didn’t feel it. More often than not people would go out of their way to brush up against her, or touch her. Mai found it creepy when people did this, and would wear a cloak of some sort, but, she likes having people look at her too much.
On one of her many wanderings, after she left the poor book behind the chair, she saw the most odd looking being she’d come across. Sure, out here in space tanned, like her own, was a little odd. But he… He was purple. And he looked grumpy when he got up and pulled his ugly cloak over him. Well, hmm, he stroked her curiosity like someone did a well mannered cat, looking around for a moment, Mai went, stood right in front of him and poked his shoulder, hard, a few times.
�Excuse me but why are you purple? Do you have something wrong with you… Are you ill? Do you have something weird and non-existent like… Space pox…?�
Mai blinked her big brown eyes, tilted her head in a bird like fashion. Honestly, she was curious. Her people skills blew holes in concrete though.

((It works great Draccy, don't you worry! Also, I love it how I can say colour and you'll say colour right back!))
His hands rubbed absently over his stomach, feeling the tentacles underneath his shirt. It was like a rugged road, it felt so weird to say the least. He wasn't hungry, not yet, and he was glad to have eaten before he came here. This place looked like it wouldn't want him to eat anyone here...at least not in public. However, take someone back to his ship and slaughter them there...it would be fair game right? After all, his ship was biological technically, genetically cloned from a diplomat on his planet. Therefore, his ship was his homeland, and that meant the rules there were different.
At least that's how he saw it.
His thoughts were interrupted though as he felt something poke his shoulder, and then again, and then again. What the Gyanrick was that anyways? His eyes focused on a rather...strange woman. She was talking to him, and he was listening, sort of...More or less he was inspecting her. Hm. She didn't look like anyone from around here actually. She seemed less dressed. Then again, he only wore a thin pair of shorts on his ship. It was to ensure he got maximum heat from his ship. He needed it really really warm.
"I could ask you why you are a pinky sort of colour." Skar said as he observed her, unimpressed. She had interesting dress on, didn't leave much to the imagination. Skar did have urges and desires like that, his species reproduced through means of genital contact, male and female coming together, one to release genetic code, the other to receive it. He assumed that since the women here had breasts, it meant they might have the same process. Breasts meant they had milk to produce, sustenance for the baby children. He would have to look into that later, maybe they weren't so different from his people.
Maybe.
"I am purple though because of my blood, just as I am sure you are your colour because of your blood. I have no diseases, and there is no such thing as space pox...However, there are asteroids out there that can harbour various plagues and diseases that are caught from the atmosphere of planets." Still, she seemed way too...friendly for him. He had to remember to be nice right back. He really wanted to see what this woman tasted like...he could smell her from here.
He leaned in suddenly, his tongue extending to flick across her face before he quickly pulled away, expecting she might not appreciate the gesture. Still, he gave a small shiver as he licked his lips. "I apologize. My species greets people that way. There is no better way to get to know someone that having their genetic code." It was also a great way to see how someone tasted, and she tasted great. However. He was curious about one thing.
"Your internal temperature is above the average temperature is above the humans on this space station. Why is that?" He didn't want to probe her mind, that would get him into trouble if she felt it. Right now, just act friendly. He had already decided she might be delicious. Still. That warmth...she had a glorious warmth. He was torn.

Maitrese was interested in this purple creature indeed! Having lived almost all her life on her own hot planet, and there was only a semi-short hop skip and a jump here to stay while her brothers went off to pretend they were cool and could fight space pirates… Or something like that. Mai watched the purple man in interest, leaning back slightly with wide eyes when he mentioned diseases from asteroids. She lifted a hand to her mouth and stared at him, she should keep him around! He could teach her far more than some boring book! An upside was that he was fun to look at, too. Mais brain had run off on her, but, it quickly resumed it’s position at her brain-wheel when she felt a tongue on her face. Because Mai, though smart in her own special way, didn’t know anything about any species but her own, who bowed slightly upon meeting. So, the tongue in her fact made her recoil a bit and look up at his with an eyebrow raised.
As she was reaching up to wipe off the friends he left after the lick, he made his comment about how it was a way of their greeting, and lowered her hand again, keeping it at her side so she didn’t insult him and start some horrible war or something. It’s happened! She read it in the books with not so much info and far too much sex. Little did Mai know those weren’t really historical documents from Earth, just badly written novels that pretend to know how things work. Mai forced her brain to stay on topic and give the nice-licky purple man her full attention, “Oh, well um…� A little bow, at the waist, was given and she leaned back up, smiling at him. “That’s how we greet one another… I think. That’s the formal way at least.� Then she realized he had asked her why she was so warm.
�I am? Oh. I suppose I am.� She paused to rub her arms. “ I suppose it is because I’m not human? I’m a Lucidius, our planet is very hot, and we’ve grown so used to it, our body keeps us at that temperature, which is much higher than humans.� Smiling again, she held out her arm to him to touch.� See? Please don’t lick my arm, I’m afraid it wouldn’t taste very good. Oh, by the way, I’m Mai. Whom might you be?�

For a time, humans had been forgotten about in his part of the universe. They just weren't important enough to remember, because they hadn't really traversed the galaxy or anything, and they were supposed to be dead for that matter. Now they were back, and that meant a whole new source of food. Excellent! He couldn't wait to start eating them, this was like a whole new delicacy even! Human. He wondered what to serve them with...Ah he could get into that later. He was just as lost in his own thoughts as the girl was, but he had the perfect way to bring her out of it, and that was with a lick. Just a quick draw of his tongue across her flesh, but it seemed to startle her enough. He could do practically anything and claim it was how his species did stuff. Within reason of course. He had to remember that. Everything had to be done within reason.
Then she did something...she...b owed. Hm. They had a formal greeting then. Usually on his planet you greeted someone just by touching their mind with your mind. Of course, children loved to touch all the minds they could, hyper little things they were. "What an interesting way to greet another." No touching, no psychic power, just a simple bend at the waist and that was their hello. Fascinating really.
Then she answered his other question, one of the most important questions for that matter. It would really tell him if he should eat her or not. "You're not human? The similar body structure looks uncanny..." He murmured as she put her arm up so he could reach out and touch it, which he did. His hand dragged itself across the supple warm flesh. Ah this wasn't fair at all! To eat her, or to use her as warmth, or to experiment with...Hm. Usually the subjects he experimented with didn't always live, and she had the potential heat source going for her.
Such choices had to be made, it was painful!
"That is amazing. Increased internal temperature caused by conditions of birth. Hm? Oh right. Names. On my planet of Viter 5, I am called Skarol, but I prefer Skar." It sounded more rugged and dangerous, rough and untamed, so it appealed to him. "It is a great honour to meet you Mai." For this poor girl had almost no idea what was going to happen to her.

(( I drew a PICTURE!! >_</) it's a bad scan but, you get the idea of what she looks like http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/ ... img106.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Draco_Draconian/img106.jpg) ))
Mai was ridiculously pleased that her new best-est friend ever, Skar, found her way of greeting interesting. A small polite smile spread across her face and she shuddered a little when he rubbed her arm, resisting the urge to pull it back and keep it at her side. Wouldn’t want to irritate him, he was purple. He could do anything. Mai watched him, her dark eyes moving back and forth slightly as she looked from his arm to his head, to stare at him, and reply to his comment about her seemingly very human. Gnawing on her bottom lip she looked away for a moment, brushed some of her feathery hair off her tall pointed ear.
While Mai did look human, the longer limbs, pointed ears, and the extra little things humans could never have, like an extra eyelid to act like sunglasses against the hot beating sun. “My… We’re a distant relative. Our history says we were once much weaker, and died far more easy, before we began to change into what we are now. Maybe they were humans? And the weakest died? And the strong turned into us?�
A smile and a shrug, Mai tuned away for a moment, quickly looking back at him when he introduced himself. Mai frowned for a moment, looked away a little, reached up to grab Skars face, and gave him a lick on the cheek, it obviously didn’t have any of the things it had going for Skar when he licked her. Mai’s tongue couldn’t pick up genetic anythings, and all she tasted was, well, she couldn’t quite place what his face tasted like at all. She let go, leaned back and smiled, not sure what to do now, clearing her throat, she licked her lips and said “It’s a pleasure to meet you, too, Skar.� Mai didn’t know what else to do, so, she stood there awkwardly, her feet together and her arms lightly clasped behind her back. Feeling a little stupid about licking his face, better not to dwell on it though, or she’d blush.
Frowning a little, she looked up at Skar and tilted her head in her bird like fashion, maybe there was some kind of weird cross breeding in her past that made her have the odd bird-like qualities she was unaware of. “Why… Are you here? Were you hurt? Are you sure you don’t have Space Pox?� Leaning in closely towards Skar, she looked from side to side, then in a stage whisper. “If you’re lying about not having Space Pox, I promise not to tell anyone.� Which would be stupid really, space pox could be the next worst plague, if it existed.
-
Skar decided to take things to the next level. That is, for him to reach within her mind and feel around. At first he brushed against it, just a passing hand over it all, checking it carefully. Definitely a mind. IT was a strange one though, because there were many thoughts, and all of them were in a disarray. He just had to straighten everything out so he could understand her properly. Ah. There it was...her mind. Thoughts. He could hear them. Barely. Some were distant, some of them screamed up close at him like they were being spoken out loud. Heh. She was such an excitable being wasn't she? Humans. Wait. No. She had said she wasn't human. Which...really...
It would explain those ears.
No one else had those ears, big, huge, and very strange ears.
"Hm, evolution of the fittest species. The weak die off so the rest of the species can continue on and become the strongest. A necessary element of life. It could very well be." That was how his people started. There were two kinds. Norms, and Mutes. The Norms, or normal people, were simple folk, they were the lesser species. Then there was the Mutes, or Mutants. Their sun was powerful, its radiation was powerful and cause some minor defects when it hit the ley lines of his home world. This caused mutations, genetic alterations. His was the flayer tentacles that sprouted from his chest, and only a few got the psychic powers.
Hah.
He left his people on that planet to live there, and he was going to just...well...live somewhere else. In space. The depths of space was fine by him. No. Maybe it wasn't. It was hard to tell. He wanted to be alone, but he wanted people with him. If to just torture people and berate until they were so mentally unstable they only wanted him...if he grew bored, he could dispose of them. That's how his last meal ended up in his ship's stasis chambers. Would Mai end up there, it was hard to tell really when it came to him.
He was such a fickle being.
There was something that was happening now. Something dragged itself across his cheek. Oh what the? He...he shouldn't have told her that was how he said hello...because his skin absorbed liquids. Ugh. This was just...He closed his eyes slightly, they became half lidded as the left over saliva simply sunk into his skin. Hm. Not...not bad. It was a little...well it was saliva. Didn't taste half bad. Still. He didn't want every weirdo licking him now to say hello. Still, he brightened up at her and smiled his best smile, trying not to bare his sharp teeth. "Indeed it is. You learn very quickly." That was good. Very good.
Skar just smiled at her questions, moving in as she whispered to him, causing him to chuckle. She was innocent. She was totally innocent. He liked the innocent. Oh yes. They were fun to break, and usually he could have such a fun time with them...experimentin g. Both with their physical bodies, and their minds. Ah yes. It had been a while since he was sexually active, more so with one of his victims...and now he had this...well, he wasn't sure what he felt. She seemed interesting,a nd her body was possibly similar to his own. Might be interesting. Ahem, right, back to her. "All of those questions have answers. I'll start with your Space Pox question. I do not have Space pox. I promise. I'm not hurt, at least not that I'm aware of. I seem to be fine." He made a quick check of himself, patting down his stomach and shrugging. Nope, not injured. She wouldn't be able to see much with his large cloak on.
"And I'm here because my long range scans of this galaxy has showed activity. I decided I would see just what was going on. IT appears that there are people here, advanced people. I'm a traveller of sorts, and I like to explore new races and such." That wasn't a complete lie, so he didn't feel that bad. Not that he really would feel bad of course for lying, it just made everything seem all the more...well...since re.
-
A polite smile stayed on her lips, which she licked every so often in nervousness. She didn’t have much to talk about, this was her first “space trip� ever. Poor thing, and the first person she runs into and seems to get along with is only nice because he wants to chew on her ass. Literally. No matter, Mai would probably figure out a way in her little brain to make being eaten not as horrific as it seems. Her hands still clasped behind her back, she listened intently, a bright smile of relief, mostly acting, since he already said space pox didn’t exist, and did her tilting head motion. He was a space explorer then? Mai looked down at herself, as far as she knew, herself and her brothers had been the only ones so far, wealthy enough to actually catch a ship to <I>anywhere</I>, so Skar running into one of her species was unlikely. Which meant he’d want to ask her questions. Hmm.
As Maitrese played with her hands, pulling them and squishing her fingers together, it could be told that it was a nervous habbit. Always hidden at the small of her back, Mai looked away for a moment, her brown eyes looking at a wall somewhere behind Skar and off to the side. Possibly making sense of her thoughts, or, thinking of ways to not make her look two cookies short of a batch. Though, the way his eyes closed after she licked him, that made him look a little… loony.
�Have… Have you ever met someone like my species?�
An honest question, but, Mai decided to… elaborate on that, and how she should be the only Lucidius her Best-est Friend Skar ever met, well at least the first, now that they were gaining technology, and would soon have space explorers too! Like her brothers were pretending to be, jerks.
�My brothers and I are a few of the first off our planet, the jerks left me here because they didn’t want to bring me along when they look for� Mai’s voice took a very obvious grumpy little sister tone, “Space Pirates.� She scoffed, and glared at a wall, her hands on her hips and her lower lip out in a pout. “All alone! I’ve been having to read books for the past few weeks, they don’t check up! I could be dead and they wouldn’t know it.� Glaring again at nothing, she gave Skar a slashing look before she asked. “ Do <I>you</I> have any family?�
While her species might be a very well adapted one. She still had the brain of a human, and no “Womans intuition� at all. Though, it gave her a few memorable adventures on time living on her planet, most of them involved getting her brothers in trouble.
-
There was that awkward silence too, it seemed like the poor girl didn't really have many social skills. Confined perhaps because of what she was or who she was? It was hard to say...All he knew is that she looked damn delicious...and she also gave off a very great amount of heat too, which really...that was sort of a downer for him. He wanted to eat her, just kill her and get it over with, but she had other functions. Female, heat source, naive, delicious. Damn it all. This wouldn't bode well for any of them, as Skar was going to have to eventually decide if he wanted to hurt her, use her, abuse her, or just eat her. Too many choices, too many...everything.
Life wasn't fair for Skarol. He just wanted a new meal...
Instead he got a conflict of interest.
"I haven't met any others that are your species." He would surely remember anyone that looked like her, and tasted similar to her. Each race had a particular flavour, but each member of that race had a special little...kick to it. He would remember that flavour till the day he eventually got caught by bounty hunters and was killed. Oh yes. It would forever be on his tongue, more so now that he had a large supply of supple, delicate, young flesh like hers. He remembered to keep an eye on her mind, but still...it was hazy, chaotic, he had trouble looking into it and making sense of it all. After all, this was the first of the species, and as such...well...it would take a while to get used to her mind.
Damn it all.
A small smirk crossed Skar's face as she talked about her brothers. A few men, straight off the planet, looking for Space Pirates. Admirable qualities but stupid none the less. He wasn't sure if many of the larger groups of Space Pirates had made it out this far, but he was sure that there were some sort of pirates out here. Every galaxy had them after all. She said something helpful though, something she never would have realized was a bad thing. They don't check up on her. She could be dead and know one would know.
Truly, the words of an angel to a sinner have never been so clear.
It's almost like she was asking to be taken away. He could take his time with her too, manipulate her, break her mind, show her wonders and horrors her mind couldn't even begin to understand. He could use her, abuse her, sell her, eat her, do anything he wanted. So many thoughts, many evil ones passed through his mind, though his mouth began to speak in response to her question. "Family? Ah right. Family. I have a matron of course, I didn't know the Donor of genetic code for her though, but I assumed he was a nice male, upstanding and the like." In short, he didn't know his father. No one really knew their fathers. The mothers would become pregnant and they would be in charge. The men however would be the ones to work. Sure, women could work too, but it meant that they wouldn't be interested in breeding.
Not too many people wanted to...what with the genetic mutations and such.
"But I left my Matron and what little friends I had on Viter 5. Not enough action, too stuffy. I needed to see the universe." He also needed to get away from chargers of despicable acts regarding living people and some dead people. Tch. Such touchy people.
"I assume though that you have then never seen the inside of an alien spaceship before correct?" New topic, new bait, new trap, new everything. Now, he was proud of his ship, a marvel of biological and technological advancement, but mostly because he wanted to just kidnap Mai and get this whole thing over with. The dance was tiring him, it really was.
Time to see what he could get away with before he had to leave to a new galaxy.
-
((All Hail Rhis magical posting fixing!!))
Mai was completely amazed by her new acquaintance. He was everything she wanted to be, besides purple, and shuddery. If given more time to think over it, Maitrese would probably not want to be like him at all. Far to psychotic for her liking, though, she hadn’t noticed how odd he was, she was still giddy about meeting someone interesting. Tilting her head and looking up at him when he began talking about his Matron and Genetic Code Donor, she blinked, paused, made a funny face and opened her mouth to ask what that was.
“wait… What’s a Genetic Code Donor? I don…� Her eyes grew wide and she stared up at him, and her mouth hung open and a bright blush spread across her cheeks. “o...ooh… What an… odd version of saying father… Umm… I’m sorry.�
For the rest of his mini-life story, major details not included, she stood quietly, listening like a good student to a favourite teacher. Viter 5. What an odd planet name. It had a number in it, her own didn’t really <I>have</I> a name, it was just… Home. Lowering her head slightly, feeling a pang of longing to see her stupid brothers. The wave of sadness passed quickly and she brightened up again towards Skar when he said something about an alien ship. Smiling brightly for a little over a second she moved closer to her, her cheeks bright with delight.
�Never seen the inside? I’ve never seen the outside. The ship we came in was very much like this one, only my brothers were on it. Jerks.� Glowering she huffed again before shaking her head slightly and then looking up at Skar with large, chocolate brown pleading eyes. “You have a ship, right? Could you show me? I promise not to touch anything! Pretty please?� Her hands clasped together under her chin, and a smile on her face.
If she had come from a more advanced planet, going into strangers… ships might have been forbidden, and it would have been a key stone to her daily life, but, because she’d never heard that rule, nor had she come across many bad people… Skar was just an oddly named, oddly coloured gentleman who liked showing off his ship.
-
Skar did not want to be this poor girl, she was...naive, and excitable. Everything was new for her, everything that was old hat to him was simply a wonder for her. It was...Well it almost made him pity her really. Almost. It was her fault for not learning the ways of the world quicker, and that meant she needed to be taught that particular lesson. Hey. What a funny coincidence actually, because he was just in the neighbourhood of TEACHING people strange lessons. Oh this would be fantastic! Something seemed to confuse her though...
And it made him smile. Adorable. Simply adorable.
She was blushing as she realized what genetic code donor meant. "A father would denote someone who stuck around for a number of my lifespan." He was simply the genetic donor, that was it. Not a father at all. Just a man, forgotten. "It's quite alright though." He enjoyed telling her his story, or what parts he wanted to tell her anyways. He would never be able to say all of his story to her, about the things he had done and seen, it would cause her to run no doubt, and he couldn't have that. Not when he was so close. He could taste new times on his lips for that matter.
Fun new times.
"Indeed I do have a ship..." Skar pretended to think this over, one finger over pursed lips as he watched her pretty much beg and plead to be let onto his ship. Hah! He didn't have any willpower or resolve to say no to her...plus it had been his plan all along. Heh. "Well...I guess I...could let you see it for a little while." She could touch the ship all she wanted, she wouldn't be able to do anything. It was programmed for him and his psychic readings. The worst she could do was probably scratch it...and even then...
Heh.
"Alright, I'll show you my ship." His arm went about her shoulders as he began to walk, pretty much forcing Mai to walk with him. Space beyond, she was so damned warm! She could be a perfect addition to the ship. His ship could be nice and warm, but damned...this girl could keep him warm even off the ship. It wasn't a far walk to get to the docking rings, he stopped near one of the view ports to show her his ship from the outside. "That one there is mine. It's a biological organism ship. Half technology, half living organism. The ships are grown specifically for the pilots, then outfitted with advanced technology to improve it's survival in the cold vacuum of space." He loved to show of his ship, cause it was probably the most advanced things these people would ever see really.
Just a quick walk to the little airlock and he was soon inside his ship. The first thing anyone would notice was just how hot it was. For most people, it was hotter than most saunas, some people couldn't survive in the climate of his ship for too long. That's why he had to make special...sections for them. He could isolate parts of the ship to be cooler for people who couldn't stop the temperatures. "Sorry about the heat. If it's too much, I can make it more comfortable. Anyways...this is it, this is my ship." A quick mental command, and the doors would close behind them, locking them inside the ship. Skar removed his cloak, tossing it onto the back of the captain's chair near the front of the ship.
It must have looked odd now, to see his strange bulging chest and stomach, wriggling with a strange mass. That's when he removed his shirt, showing the strange tentacles that were hanging down like vines from his chest. "These are...a genetic mutation." His feet lifted to the wall, and he began to walk up the side of the ship, until he came to the clothing compartment he had installed on the roof of his ship. It must have looked odd to just see him hanging there by his feet as if nothing were out of order. He stuffed the shirt into compartment before he scaled back down the side of the wall to stand in front of her. "Would you like to go for a ride Mai? I can show you the ends of your system, the farthest planets out there. I passed by a rather odd one on the way through here...a gas giant, very large compared to some of the ones here. That would also mean he had no obligation to return her here. In fact he had an interesting idea. There was that planet on the distant edge that had primitive life on it...
Oh yes.
He had a very evil idea.
-
Making a little noise of protest at being pushed along, but, quickly quieted when she got to see his ship. It was impressive, even though she knew nothing about ships, compared to the others she seen, this one was… Cool, for lack of a better word. She didn’t get much of a chance to stare at it, because that’s all she really did, but, before she could blink her eyes three times she was ushered away to go inside of it. She suppressed a little gasp at the inside, it was hot, compared to the temperature that she’d grown accustomed to on the ship. Blinking a few times and wrapping her hands around her tummy, so she didn’t touch anything, she looked around, bio technical something or other, eh? Mai was careful to make sure she didn’t brush anything with her ears either, they were extra sensitive and even something as small as a jolt of electricity would have her hissing in pain.
Looking over at him, trying to keep as close to herself as possible and not touch anything, she smiled at him, politely again. “No, its not too warm, my planet is much hotter than this, I’m just not used to it at the moment. I’ll warm up soon enough and this will become my temperature.� If she was staying. Why did she say that? Why would she want this as her temperature, of course, it was oddly nice to get away from the metallic cold of the space station. When the door closed, she jumped away with a little squeal of surprise. “what.. what was.. Oh, the door is closed…Skarol, did you want the door closed? I swear I didn’t press anything… Oh, the heat’s fine and…�
Mai stared, and blinked, and looked away for a moment before staring again. He had tentacles coming out of his chest. And, they didn’t look to… pretty. But, Maitrese was a nice girl, and, despite being slightly put off at the sight of the tentacles, him telling her what they were. A genetic mutation, made her feel a little sad for him. Biting her lip slightly, she looked away, while he climbed up the wall, not missing it, but, choosing not to make her mind work over-board to figure that out. Was that why Skar left? Because he was a little more… mutated than he was supposed to be? Sighing slightly Mai turned and smiled at him, hell-bent on keeping her eyes on his face and not looking at his tentacles or his odd feet.
A genuine polite smile was on her face. “You have to bring me back in one piece though.� A little pretend glare and frown pasted over her face before it was replaced with a well-mannered smile.
-
What the hell was that little noise that she made? He wasn't really sure just what she was going on about with that noise but he didn't care. Let her make all the noises she wanted, it would only further want to understand her more and figure out what she was like. Hm. Maybe she made those noises during other instances, more private instances. Heh. He would have to find that out later indeed! Later though, he had some plans that he wanted to look into now...like find out if she was a survivor or not. He wanted to discover just what he could do with this girl, see what she can do out there in the real world.
She seemed serious about not touching anything. He could be nice and tell her that she could touch everything she wanted but...Nah.
"Oh really? Well then." He blinked a few times, and slowly the temperature would rise. If he was allowed to have it hotter then he was fine with that. "Oh, the ship is automatic, it knows what I want it to do." Plus he had psychic powers, so that also helped. Being in close communication with his ship was a great thing. The tentacles began to move as he sat down in the chair, smiling, as he figured out what to do. He tried to make sure that everything was still in good condition and he had more than enough fuel to go about the galaxy. "I bet you've never been in a ship that can punch a hole in the universe before." Skar said as he turned his chair around to face at her with a smirk. "You know, you don't have to be so polite. You can stare at my feet or tentacles, I'm used to it." He was too, because people were frightened of him for that matter.
He was, cause people never really saw things like him after all. It was pretty great really, he liked all the attention too. It was nice to have, nice for people to look at him.
"One piece, I can do that." He could make her into a thousand pieces and take only one back. That wasn't against the rule apparently. One of his tentacles moved to the dashboard of the console and then a new chair began to grow up beside him from the floor, gesturing for her to sit down. "There's a special belt on the right and left that you'll want to attach to each other. Just put the little clips together, because we're about to do something that very few have experienced. We're going to punch a hole in this side of the universe and appear at another hole on the other side of the universe." Much better than other ways of travel really.
His helmet was placed on his head, slipping it on and pulling the gloves on. The tentacles found their holes on the chair before he pressed a few things and grinned, showing off his very sharp looking teeth. The ship pulled away from the docking ring before he began to count. "Three..." There was a beeping and a strange rumbling that seemed to come from the ship itself. "Two." Strange white energy began to gather around the front of the ship, collecting into a strange sphere. "One." A great tremble rocked the ship as there was suddenly...well...n othing in front of them. The ship suddenly jerked forward as things were back once more, the sparkling lights of space were all back. This was good. Much better now. There were near a very large strange planet beside them, a large giant of a planet that just dwarfed them. It was a yellowish planet with a great red eye on it, swirling endlessly.
"I don't know the name of the planet, but it is gorgeous."
-
Pouting a little and leaning back away from him, she looked around, moveing quietly to stand somewhere behind his chair. She could feel the heat rise, and she frowned a little. Her heat had always been try, not a single drop of water lay on the surface of the planet she was from. All their drinking water came from the ground, so she was used to dry heat. She found this stuffy, tolerable, but, stuffy. Would it be a bad thing to be semi-claustraphobic now? Mai bite her lip, then the inside of her cheek and looked at him, at his head, while his tentacles looked around for their assigned place, she was rather surprised when he turned around to smirk at her. For the first time she got a good look at his eyes, they were actually a pretty colour. But, they reminded her of ice, golden chips of ice, they were so void of… Anything warm.
No use dwelling on it, she’d never been good at reading people. She looked at him when he spoke, she quickly deceided that no, she wasn’t going to stare! Not even if he said she was allowed to. “I won’t stare at you Skar.� Mai paused to frown, “I was brought up to be polite, and accept people the way they are, just because you have different feet and tentacles doesn’t give me the right to stare at them. And no, I’ve never been in a ship that can punch holes through anything, this is only the second one I’ve been on.� A smile could be heard in her voice and she stepped back, and she stepped back and made her funny gasping squealing noise again.
�A… That came out of the … the floor!� Mai pointed at it like it had fangs waiting for her to sit on. Funny, if she had pointed a little to one side, she’d have pointed at something else that had fangs waiting for her to sit on. Quickly and quietly, she flopped into the chair, bunching up all the loose cloth onto her lap and clicked the clips together, attempting to subtle hold the cloth to her breasts incase anything deceided to flop free. “Umm, thank you.� Looking away for a moment or so, everything kind of happened in a blur and before she realized what was happening, everything stopped.
�that was… fast.� Mai blinked and looked around, then down at the belt. And poked at it. “May I take this off… huh?� Looked over. “It is? I... suppose so. I haven’t seen many others to compare it with.� Licking her lips nervously, she looked over at Skar, “Where are we now…?�
-
Skar didn't think about making it into a wetter heat, instead of it being so dry and humid. He thought of that too, and it was done, the heat began to become a little more wet, humid, and it was perfect. He lay back slightly and closed his eyes, letting the moisture simply surround him. It was beautiful. He was drinking actually, getting nourishment from the slight moisture in the air. Perfect. That's what this situation was really. She was right about his eyes having nothing in them of course, he didn't let a lot of emotion show within his eyes, they were the gateway to the inner heart and soul some said, and he didn't want anyone looking inside those depths. There was no telling what someone might see.
Horrors, pain, loneliness, suffering silently in silence, a psychotic man who scorned his own life and abandoned all hope of being normal.
A dangerous man.
"Really? Cause I don't mind at all, I like the attention." He did too, he really loved that attention. Anyone looking at him was a good thing wasn't it? He wanted people to look at him for any reason, because that was good stuff indeed. "Well you don't have to worry about holding your manners here, this isn't a polite ship after all. It's heard many bad things in its time." Heh, and many screams, passion, hatred, agony, so much this ship had heard too..."Well then, you're in for the ride of your life." He liked how his ship could create things that he needed, a bed, a prison cell, that sort of thing. It was all great fun really! Just for him, no one else got to have much fun on his ship anymore.
A crying shame eh?
"Yes it did Mai. It's a living ship sort of. It can create things and even change it's shape when I need to." He had once flown this ship when it was in the shape of a completely smooth oval, which had been quite a strange experience. It had been fast, but turning was a bit of a problem. Like skipping a rock really. Not that fun for him, almost crashed into a large asteroid. "Of...course..." He was watching Mai with a lot of interest. It was like...he just noticed she wasn't wearing anything at all, and was trying to hold herself from flopping out of her dress. That would have been...
Interesting.
Not a bad thing really.
"You know, you should wear more clothes." That's what he said as they travelled through the blank void of space before reappearing in normal space. Ah, such a fun way to move! It was quick, and hard to track. "No, I would keep that belt on. We're going to make another jump soon...I just want to..." Slowly he started to move the ship downward to look at the giant red storm of some sort. It was such an interesting experience to see..."We moved about three hundred and fifty million light years in about two seconds." It was so useful to have the knowledge of their universe contained in his mind. Well...
He had human knowledge. He didn't know if he also had her knowledge either, but he sure hoped that they were similar for that matter.
"Now we're going to make another jump, it's going to be pretty far, way in the distance, but I think it's a habitable planet actually so I assume it will be safe there." Safe enough anyway. He simply pressed a button, and the ship gave that violent jolt and they were back in that cold strange blackness...and then...they appeared once more over a strange planet. It was much smaller than that gas giant, much MUCH smaller. It was just a little larger than earth actually, and had the same blue oceans and the landmasses were smaller. "I'm reading oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen...Hm...It's colder than my ship but we can survive on it. Shall we go see?" He didn't care, he was already plotting a course down through the atmosphere. This was going to be fun.
Life signs were down there, and even more so...some were moving in packs and some separate. Maybe humanoid, maybe feral animalistic. Heh.
Excellent.
-
Huffing a little and looking pouty, Mai turned away from skar and crossed her arms over her chest in a far more subtle movement, muttering about how she was dressed perfectly fine, and it was a good thing too that what she was wearing what she wearing, or her clothing would stick to her skin. Well, what little skin the clothing covered. Pushing her hair out of her face, Mai looked towards Skar keeping herself very pressed together. Her knees touched, her arms where folded across her chest and her head moped down a little, not-so-subtly watching to make sure everything stayed in place. Clearing her throat and slightly mock-glaring at him. “I wear this on my planet, and I haven’t found anything else to wear, and I didn’t bring anything with me.� Mais voice a slight pout and she looked at her knees. “And besides, my skin keeps me warm, if I wear a coat or something I could overheat and cook myself.�
Another jolt and Mai looked up and blinked. Wow. This was kind of cool. Looking around, and down to make sure everything was in it’s proper place. Mai watched Skar as he went about his business, saying something bout oxygen and a bunch of other funny-worded things.
Huh.
Mai listened to him prattle on about how the planet was colder than his ship. She felt like scoffing and making a rather bad comment about how nothing could be hotter than this ship, even she could feel the slight warmth, nothing to sweat over, though the moisture in the air was beginning to collect on her skin, making her look sweaty. A quick look back down and she smiled a little. “I can survive anywhere, as long as I don’t lose too much heat too quickly or over heat.� Mai briskly ran a finger up her ear, and because she did it, it didn’t send any tingles down her spine or anything quite like that. “My ears are kind of like temperature regulators.� Another quick smile and she looked around again. A living ship. Then she paused, and looked around again, her eyes falling on Skar.
He said take her for a ride, not… Land anywhere.
�I thought it was just going to be a ride…� Biting her lip from nervousness, incase her pointing that out got him grumpy, she quickly fell silent, starting at the base of the chair he was sitting in, because she refused to be like other people and stare at his mutations.
-
Skar quietly laughed at her display, trying to hide herself from jiggling out of her clothes. She wouldn't need those soon enough, but right now he had a different plan of attack for her. Sexual experimentation could be looked into later after all. He had all the time in the world now. She was on his ship. That was the main thing. He didn't have to take her back, he didn't /need/ to take her anywhere. He could force the ship to hop to a distant part of space and simply enjoy her where no one could hear her scream. "Well, you should probably get something a little less revealing Mai. That flimsy dress is only going to cause you trouble. Get you the wrong kind of attention." Like the one he was giving her for that matter. Oh yes, his attention was the worst kind you could get. Heh heh heh heh. "Well maybe you don't need to wear a coat, but you need to wear something that pretty much tells every man and woman 'look at me, I've got female parts! You can practically see them!' It just isn't very lady like." Skar was actually giving her /fashion/ tip. Him! Who wore blue spandex like shirts and pants, then the big gaudy grey cloak. Yeah. He was perfect for dispensing valuable advice like that.
Ah damn. He was hoping that last jolt would have knocked something out for him to see. Tch. He'd have to get rid of her clothes some other way. That's where the planet was coming in after all.
Soon enough.
At least the moisture was starting to collect on her. Flimsy clothes, wet body...it would make for an interesting time! "Well, that would explain your ears then." They gave off heat. That was...amazing. His eyes looked at them, watching the large almost silly looking ears. They were quite the oddities, but they looked...nice. And they had a purpose! They gave off heat. Oh she was perfect. She was really...REALLY perfect. He was going to enjoy her so very much. He'd be able to wrap his tentacles about her, put his arms about her as well, and just keep warm anywhere. he could not have asked to run into a better creature. "Ah, well you're lucky. I need heat to survive. If it drops too cold, I go into a metabolic hibernation. My body shuts down and I pretty much become a statue until I'm back in a nice warm environment. That's why I have to keep the ship warm." The warmer it got, the faster he could move and the less energy he would expend. Unbuckling his belt he laughed, getting up from his seat to throw his cloak on and tying it up tight.
"Where's your sense of adventure Mai? It's a brand new world to explore. Live a little would ya? Did you say you wanted to do something fun and interesting? Well what's more fun than a new world?" Full of dangerous creatures none the less. Slowly the ship began to land, finding a nice large open space to set down upon. Skar made sure to pack a High Integrity Particle Blaster with him as he went to the door, pressing a button and thinking a command mentally. Slowly the doors opened and he stepped down outside, looking about. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. You could see many things out there. Creatures running in the distance, a few strange shaped trees. The grass was spongy, it felt weird under his feet for that matter. Not unpleasant though.
Now.
How to go about this whole thing.
he had to get Mai out here, and force her to start killing things. What better way than to reach your mind out and mentally call all things that ate meat. Oh yes. He was going to get them to attack Mai. She would have to defend herself. He was going to make her shoot things dead to survive...and have a lot of fun at the same time. She'd have to make choices. Like what was more important. Stopping Skar from molesting her, or killing the animals that were probably going to rip her belly open.
Oh this day couldnt' get any better!
-
A very obvious scowl crossed her features and her eyebrows drew together. To glare at him while he harassed her about the way she dressed. Hmph. At least she didn’t look like a moving gray bag. Swallowing her scowl with a little growl, she gave him a frigid polite smile and unclipped the buckle, righted her dress-like outfit and tilted her head to the side. “Well, on my planet, no one would look twice as someone dressed like me. This is normal there. And unlike the places I’ve recently been to,� <I>like here</I> “ My planet doesn’t have much crime, or many perverts at all.� <I>like you.</I> Mai was a little worried and simple rolled her eyes at him when he made his other comment about how he thought she was showing herself off. Poor fellow. He’d probably die if he ever saw how near-naked the people were on her planet and how normal it was.
Shaking her head slightly, Mai turned around when the door opened, and Skar brushed past her after he grabbed something she’d never really seen before, either way, it looked funny. Still a little grumpy from his uncalled for comments about how she dressed she stood still, on the inside of the ship, not sure if she wanted to out there at all. Maybe he’d leave her there? Maybe he’d put those sharp teeth she saw to a use and hurt her? Mais brain began to tell her that this wasn’t such a good idea after all. She barely new the man and already she was on a deserted planet with him. The tentacles were a little unnerving too. Wringing her hands in front of her, she followed after Skar after a few minutes of being inside the ship. The part that got her onto the ground was mostly the fact that she ship was part of him, or at least, that’s how she imagined it. Why on earth would she want to stay in a ship that was part of him?
The sound of gravel under her feet and the feel of a beating sun on her skin made her smile, though, quickly and on a subconscious level, the extra eyelid fell into place. To protect her eyes from the bright sun, many Lucidius had an extra pair of eyelids, a built in sunglass-type feature that becomes almost automatic in later years of life. Mai closed her eyes for a moment then opened them again, getting used to having to use them. It’d be a little while since she’d last had them into place, and the darkened view was a little surprising. To Skar, her eyes, the iris, the whites of her eyes, everything, would be completely black. But, that meant she could, if she wanted to, look directly at the sun without flinching. The eyelids were very good at what they were made for.
Turning her head slightly, so she could hear a little clearly, Mai frowned and looked at Skar, the pouty-look on her lips and her eyebrow drawn together. Currently ignoring him about the comments on her dress. “There’s something over there.� Mai pointed off into the distance. She couldn’t see it, she wasn’t quite tall enough for that, if it had been one of the male species hunting they’d have seen it just fine, and they were certainly tall enough. Moving to look at the dirt, she turned her head to look at the sky. “It doesn’t sound very nice.�
Maybe she was just hearing past screams from the ship. Then again, she wasn’t magical or anything like that, and her ears weren’t good enough to hear past noises. Even so, it seemed like a neat idea.
-
Oh, the kitten had claws apparently. Her mind was slowly getting to be his, he could understand more and more of it. A little while longer and he would be able to read her mind like an open book done in his own language. That would be quite nice really. "You're no longer on your planet Mai. You're in space, new races, new cultures, that sort of thing." He smiled slightly as she said her planet doesn't have many perverts. Well she would learn just what a pervert he was too. It would be quite fun too. He couldn't wait to see just what her body was all about! Maybe she could be a potential mate, or in the very least a sex slave. He wasn't sure about interspecies breeding, as none of his other hostages had ever born a child from his seed. Then again they had mostly been barren, or a completely different context. He was a bit reptilian, a little bit mammalian, but mostly he was just...Skar.
She was starting to have doubts. He picked up on things in her mind. Damn it. This whole thing might turn to trouble really. If she figured out just what he was planning, or wouldn't leave the ship, he might get angry and have to hurt her. That would be bad wouldn't it? Oh yes. Very bad indeed.Though, it seemed she was finally following him. Once she left the ship, it closed up behind her. No turning back now. Heh heh heh. As if he actually had any need for regret for that matter. Skar turned to look at her for a moment and he blinked in surprise. Her eyes were black. He squinted slightly. Hm. Built in third eyelid to stop UV rays from entering and damaging the eyes. How ingenious.
Evolution was quite a powerful thing wasn't it?
Today they'd see just how fast she could evolve.
"Yeah. I see it too." Skar said as he turned to look where she was pointing. He could hear it's mind too. It wasn't sentient. It was primal. Food. Mating. Sleeping. Primal urges that it had. Only food seemed to be on the top of the list. Excellent. "No, I suppose it doesn't." Mai had let him taste of her flesh, and gain her scent, which he was busy putting into the nerves and brains of creatures around them. He didn't move for a few minutes, but when he finally did, he was removing the particle blaster from his belt and tossing it onto the ground in front of Mai.
"Pick it up Mai. You're going to learn a harsh lesson today." Skar was smiling pleasantly as he could hear feral growls and strange gutteral callings from the creatures in the distance. "This is the lesson I call 'Why you shouldn't trust friendly strangers.' It's a good lesson, and a naive little Cettira like you needs to learn it." (Cettira is basically bitch in his language.) Skar began to move back to the ship, putting his back against the cold steel and flesh of the ship, arms crossed over his chest. "Those things out there. They know you. They want you. I gave 'em your scent and your taste. I'm a psychic y'see. I can do things with my mind. I like to fuck with people, and ruin their lives. So you've got a choice. You can either pick that pistol up and defend yourself, or you can get eaten by monsters." Skar loved to be...well himself. It felt good inside, it felt right.
"And don't bother trying to shoot me with that pistol. It's like my ship, linked to my mind. The moment you point it at me is when it stops working." Those screams were getting closer, he could feel the beasts out there, hungry for Mai flesh. Oh this would be so great.
He truly was a purple bastard.
-
Her heart sunk. She’d walked right into this and didn’t sense that he was a bad person until it was far, far too late. She moved away from him, after he gave her his little speech. Feeling insulted and naked. She was pretty close to being naked, but she never really felt it until now, when she realized he’d probably been undressing her in his head. Frowning and turning away, she jumped back slightly and glared at him with her dark eyes and then down at the device he’d thrown at her. What the hell was that? Mai bent at the knees to look at it, frowning again, and then resuming to glare at him. Dirty bastard. She hissed at him, one knee on the ground, the other bent up. The gun-type thing slightly held in her hands. Mai looked quite like a feral creature when hissing, it showed off her rather sharp teeth, and because her eyes were completely black, she looks like a really angry rabbit who had sharp fangs and creepy eyes.
�Go sit on a pointy stick, Mutant.�
Her voice was bitter and cold, and she glared at him while she spoke. Now, to figure out how to use this thing before those thing came and snacked on her. It was like home. Rabid hungry creatures running after you if you got too far from home, only in this case, she didn’t have a knife, or a bow and arrows. She had something useless and metallic. Pah. Well, there was a hole in one side, and there was a trigger by the handle, maybe it shot stuff? The thought of testing it out on Skar passed through her mind before she realized that he said it didn’t work. Bastard. She was doomed, unless she ran away once she was finished with shooting the little beasts.
But, she’d have to wait until they were close enough to shoot. Wait, why didn’t she just run away? She’d have enough of a head start, and would out run them, her legs were far longer, and she was used to moving around a lot under a hot sun… Holding the gun-type thing, Mai closed her eyes for a moment, took a few deep breaths… And began to run as fast as she could, away from Skar and his ship. And away from the little feral bastards, too.
-
That's how it always was with Skar. You didn't know his intentions until the last minute. He found it to be incredible fun actually, while she probably found it to be horrible. It was her fault though for being so trusting and naive though. Yes. It was always their fault. To say that Skar was undressing her in his mind was probably an understatement, he had all sorts of ideas going on in his mind, and getting her naked wasn't even the worst one. At least she seemed to know what a gun was...though he couldn't help but feel she looked really...creepy in that position. That third eyelid did nothing for her...it just made her look pretty damn...odd. Then again, he had pure golden eyes with a small emerald pupil, so who was he to judge looks right?
"Oooh, that one hurt." As if she would ever get him to do something like that. Hah. Though...he was going to make her pay for that comment. He'd have to find a pointy stick for that matter...maybe several. Not a bad idea actually.
He'd have to start collecting those after ward.
Of course, that's when something happened. Her mind changed, he could feel it. She thought something...and he clenched his fists. Defiance perhaps? No. She suddenly bolted. How inappropriate, but actually very typical. They all ran. So he gave chase, his legs pumping as he bounded across the spongy ground. It absorbed shock, allowing him to stretch faster. His cloak was discarded, lost to twist in the wind as he ran. She actually thought she could outrun him? Sure she looked fast, but what would it matter if she ran? Where would she go? He had scanned the planet. No settlements, no life but the feral beasts. She was doomed to say the least.
Doomed to have to deal with him.
When he got close enough to her, that's when he struck, his tentacles extending outward and grabbing onto her body. They wrapped about her arms and legs as he collided with her, his chest pressed against her back as he brought her low to the ground. He instantly constricted the tentacles, letting the hooks grab into her soft flesh, his arms about her waist under her arm, hand placed awkwardly upon her chest as he hauled her to her feet. "Now you see, this is the mistake that everyone makes. They run. It's honestly a bad idea too." She would learn of course, as the tentacles released her arms but kept one around her waist and legs. Two tentacles slowly made their way up around her neck, the hooks dragging their backs across her flesh, careful as to not cut into her just yet. The tip of one tentacle, which had a small hook protruding from the end of it landed on her cheek, dragging slowly downward to draw flesh blood.
"Your blood is in the air Mai...the beasts out there have your scent. You've got to kill them Mai, or else they're tear you open, and that won't be very nice. It might cause me to have to join in the primal blood orgy and just dig into your hapless and supple flesh." Skar whispered to her, his lips just inches from her ears. This was all just a fun game to him, and he knew she would struggle for that matter. "But...there's another problem. What am I doing? Why do my hands roam so freely across your unspoiled body? You better chose. You can fight me Mai, but then you'd lose to the monsters...or you can fight them, and lose to me." To emphasis this he ran his hand across her chest, moving it up let his fingertips wander across her collar bone. "Time is wasting Mai. You must decide quick." He pressed himself up against her, closing in the space between them as he felt her simply squished against him.
"Live or die, live or die, either way I win in the end."
-
Panting softly from her quick bursted run, she smashed into the ground, crying out softly at the feeling of the ground meeting her face. Wincing a little, too distracted by the pain in her chin to notice the tentacles or his arms, she let out another little surprised gasp when she found her self with Skar … Wrapped all around her. Feeling a little revolted at having the tentacles wrapped around her, she didn’t make a peep about those, despite the fact that Skar was very low on her liked-people list she still didn’t really want to hurt his feelings. If he had any. Which he probably didn’t. No matter, being nice in a hostile position might work better on her end. It wasn’t a bad thing to be optimistic.
Mai struggled a little against the… erm… bonds… and closed her eyes when she realized where Skars hands where. After getting hauled up, she felt the tentacles, they were around her neck, and she was scared. Mais heart was pounding, she was going to die, or get raped or eaten. Screw it nothing good would come out of this! She was utterly and completely fucked, hopefully just metaphorically. Mai blinked a moment after he said that they all ran. “I was only running away from… th-ow!� her voice was a little weird, because she was trying to keep her neck away from the tentacles, and then he slid a hook over a cheek! What a bastard. She moved to reach up to wipe off the blood, when she noticed she had the gun in her hand still.
That was when he began talking again, the blood slowly dripping down her cheek to stain the white cloth bunched on her shoulder. It stung, it kept her mind off the damn hand that brushed against her boobs, though, the hot breath on her ear made her shudder unwillingly and sigh a little. Well, that sucked. Swallowing a little she held the gun out in front of her, she’d made her choice, she’d rather have someone’s hands and tentacles on her that she at least knew the name of. Instead of feral little beasts eat her flesh, besides, he was right, she either got eaten, in which he’d join in, or she’d kill them and she’d get… Well, she didn’t know what would happen after that. Probably didn’t really want to know, either.
She could see them. She blinked a few times and with a keen eye pulled the trigger. Ignoring the hands on her body. Yech. Because Mai was actually afraid, she pressed even closer to Skar subconsciously, as if he could protect her, the coward, the pulse in her neck throbbed, she could feel it. Shaking her head she noticed one was hobbling along, she’d manages to shoot one of the little things in the leg, and it was still trying to get to her to snack. Closing her eyes and holding the gun in front of her, she pulled the trigger as many times as she could, Skar wouldn’t notice her eyes closed, and she could just feign for bad aim. If she didn’t see herself killing them it wouldn’t make her feel as guilty.
Once she stopped shooting, and after many times pulling the trigger, little monster carcasses lay on the ground, a few twitching from non-fatal shots that immobilized them. The blood on her cheek hadn’t even had time to dry yet, and the cloth on her shoulder was now a dark red from the little drops of blood that had fallen on it. Mai dropped the gun like it was scalding hot and moved to push away from Skar, unfortunately that meant pulling her upper part away first, which meant pushing the lower part against him. She wasn’t thinking that when she did it, but, she could only do one thing now.
�Let me go! I killed them! I killed them! Let me go! I’ll find my own way home! Leave me here!� Putting her own hands on Skars, she attempted to pull them away from her, not wanting him to touch her anymore.
-
She just had no chance at all did she? Not a very good one for that matter. He felt like a cobweb against her, just tangled all around her. It was like he was a new set of clothes for her, it was really...heh, nice. Not for her probably, people didn't like this sort of thing for some reason. Personal space and all that. She had no idea that being too nice would be bad for her, it would just infuriate him all the more. When he got made, bad things happened, people lost flesh, among other things. She had to be careful around him, he was unstable after all. Very unstable.
At least she wasn't complaining about where his hands were at this time, but oh yes, she was very aware of them. She was worried about those things, but she shouldn't have worried about that too much for now. She was doomed now, doomed to deal with this psychopath from a distant star. "Of course you were. Of course." He didn't believe her, he never believed them. They always thought they could run away from him, but he had great speed and the tentacles as well. The tentacles always helped to have. They kept things in place for him. Things like this woman, who wanted to run away from him so much.
"I always do love red blood on white cloth." He murmured quietly to her, his hand roaming over the upper part of her body, pinching, feeling all the parts of her body he could. He loved it. She seemed very much like his own species. This was a good thing, he would have to figure out just how close they were after this little murder session on the planet. His mouth moved, placing it upon her neck, his teeth raking gently across her skin and causing her to bleed. His tongue wiped along the skin to taste her blood. Ah hell, this just wasn't fair. He wanted to eat her up just right now. He couldn't though. He needed her alive.
The tentacles around her neck moved away, ripping at clothes and flesh gently, snagging on the cloth and sometimes just pressing into her skin, near her stomach, staying away from her breasts though. That wouldn't be very nice of him after all. Not right now anyway. Heh. "Go on. They're just monsters. You're next targets though...well you'll see." His hands roamed all over her as he slowly ground his hips into her, letting her feel him against her as his hands explored. It was such a fun time for him, and he wasn't going to go too far...Though he did want to. Not until they were back in the ship after all.
His eyes had to look to the creatures she was shooting. Oh she was good wasn't she? This girl was going to be good. In all aspects of what he was planning on doing too. Heh heh heh.
More lesson to learn and teach.
He felt a strange tugging, his hand suddenly being placed on something just a bit hotter. Oh. What was that now? She was trying to get away from his hands and tentacles, it was cute, but she was going to learn all the more. His hands slapped hers away, suddenly gripping her tight against the throat. "Oh no. You're not going anywhere Mai. You're going to go back to the ship with me, which is just over there. You wanna know why? Because if you don't, I'll throw you down right here, find out just how close our races are, and probably do that all the while snacking on your fingers...eyelids.. .those long beautiful ears...then leave you here with broken legs and surrounded by a bunch of meat, all for more predators. Do we understand Mai?" To emphasize, his tentacles suddenly dragged across her upper torso, just along the bottom of the breasts.
She should get the emphasis finally.
-
A bright blush was on her cheeks, this was completely mortifying. She was actually slightly glad she’d killed the things that were going to eat her, biting her lip against any sounds that wanted to rise up through her throat past her lips. Whimpering slightly when he raked his teeth against her neck, causing more bleeding. When she opened her eyes and came back to herself, she made a funny face and growled a little at him, he was… He was <I>wiggling</I> against her. If she had been a normal teenage-type female creature who had any sexual desires at all, she might have been a little turned on. But, because this form of… courtship was foreign and just plain weird, she didn’t feel anything other than revulsion for it. “Stop that!� Her voice didn’t quiver, but, her momentary brovado left quickly and she swallowed and leaned away.
After she killed the creatures, she had expected him to stop touching her, to keep his pokey tentacles away from her, but they didn’t leave. Now she had several bleeding cuts on her stomach, and snags in her clothing. Swallowing a scream she began to breath quickly, more in fear than anything. Did he do this to many other people? She could only guess so. Thinking back to all those little comments he made, what else could it be other than that? As her black eyes welled with tears, she quickly closed them, she wouldn’t do something as weak as crying in front of a beast like him. There was a time for tears, and while getting molested by tentacles is a good enough reason, it wasn’t a good time for it.
A tight ball of anger carried high in her chest, the blush of shame bright on her cheeks, the tips of her ears went red as well when his hand went around her throat. She looked away from the ship, on the distant horizon where there wasn’t anything except a few lonely trees, gasping for air slightly, moaning a little because it kind of hurt, having her neck crushed. When she couldn’t stand it much more, she looked at him, while he spoke. Closing her eyes slightly, the dark eyelid went lax on its own and opened, showing her dark brown eyes again, the only emotion in it really was shame at being touched liked this, at the words he spoke. Licking her now dry lips, Mai looked up at him, her voice strained from the hand on it. “I… I understt..� Shifting away a little at the tentacles as they brushed against her, and wincing.
Why did she talk to strangers? She should really stop that, the first one she meets and he wants to turn her into a… Mai wasn’t quite sure what he wanted to turn her into.
-
The only reason that his cheeks were slightly flushed, a deeper purple than he already had, was because he was excited. There was a great blood flow everywhere,and he really wanted to either eat the tasty morsel in front of her and just find out what kinda woman she was. She had such curves, such soft skin, a very alluring body, even to him, she was shapely, it was enjoyable...He couldn't wait to find out more about her. Exploring her would be just so fun. He'd have to look for some of his old tools and what not, but he could make it happen. He could enjoy it as well, and she'd just have to deal with it. Who knows, maybe she'd like it too. "Learn to love Mai. Just feel me against you, my hands roaming over your body, exploring, wandering. You'll enjoy this soon enough."
Either that or she would hate it and her screams would sustain him.
One of the two would happen.
"That's right. Breathe faster. Suppress the pain, the screams. You can do it. Don't be weak now. We wouldn't want that to happen would we?" Skar purred in her ears almost lovingly really as he removed his hand from her lower torso, up to her ears for a moment, stroking one of them. Ah, so warm, so very nice. She was good at ignoring one task and focusing on the more important it seemed. All the little monster were dead too, she was really good at learning. She would have to be as well, or else there would be some bad times ahead for her.
"Oh, you're getting warm. Makes me feel more alive." He whispered to her, giving her a squeeze on the rear. Oh yes, he was enjoying this moment. It was a good moment. Just like all the other times. Slowly he relaxed his grip on her throat, chuckling as he finally just let go of her, all of his tentacles pullings themselves, actually quite gently from her skin and clothes. One of the tentacles reached down and retrieved the gun, wrapping around it and pulling it to him. This would be good. Mai had actually fulfilled her part just the way he hoped. She had done well...
She had done quite well. He was almost proud of her.
"That's good Mai. Very good. Come." One hand stayed on her elbow, gripping it tightly as he started pulling her along with him to the ship. The doors slowly opened themselves and he forcefully brought her onto the ship, pushing her into the second chair. The doors closed behind him and he smiled at her pleasantly. "Here's the deal Mai. You stay still on that chair, and you'll heal quicker. You move about or try to leave, and it'll restrain you and make you VERY uncomfortable. Then I'll have to do things to you. Fun things for me, bad things for you. Things like find out what's down there between that flimsy cloth that hangs in front of your legs, and see those nice things that are on your chest. So I hope we understand each other here." His voice stayed pleasant the whole time actually, he seemed actually happy for that matter.
He was.
It's when he felt the happiest. When he finally got to be himself. Hah!
Great times.
-
Well, it wasn’t that her body didn’t think it felt nice and dandy, well, besides the cuts stinging fairly badly, it was her brain that refused to believe that she liked it. So, Mai didn’t like it. Biting her lip to the point of it nearly bleeding, she closed her eyes against the whispering in her ear, moving away from the tingling sensation. Mai then attempted to slow down her breathing, it wasn’t working though, instead, they became deep quiet breaths well, as deep and as quiet they could get with a hand around her throat. When he moved to stroke her ear, the blush deeped even more so but, mostly because she liked the ear petting. “d..don do..tha..� Mai wiggled a little and moved her hands up to rest against the one that was over her throat.
Once he gave her another whispering phrase, making her shudder again, and then he squeezed her butt, which she thought was very uncalled for, even though his hands practically made out with her boobs already. He let go of her neck, Mai began to cough, taking breaths to make up for the air she wasn’t getting while his hand was around her neck, a quick glare at him and small snarl she remembered that she said she understood. And the last place she wanted to get naked was in front of a bunch of dead bodies. Hell, she didn’t want to get naked anywhere. If she survived this, she’d probably bathe clothed for the rest of her life. The urge to pull her arm away from Skar was overwhelming, but, soon enough she was back in that ship, and planted her butt with a small grunt on the chair.
Mai paused. “What else would be under my clothing? I do… I… “ she blushed and turned away, glaring at her knees. Blushing still. She wouldn’t move, not even an inch, she didn’t want him to have any reason to take off her flimsy clothing. Mai suddenly wished she had clothing made out of steel plates, it’d be more entertaining that scary to see him take that off, swallowing Mai looked away from her captor.
�...W... What are you going to do to me…? At least tell me that much before I make I easy for you.� A hint of a snarl in her voice, though subtle, her eyes were half closed, and as much as she wanted to rub at her sore neck, she kept her hands lightly clasped in her lap.
-
Mai would learn to love everything he did to and for her. Oh yes. Everything, he just had to give her time, that's all. He would too, let her get used to this new life of being a hostage for a psychotic purple alien. Hostage at first. She was going to become an apprentice, or maybe a pet...perhaps even just a snack at some point. "Don't do what Mai? Do this?" Did the girl have a soft spot on her ear perhaps? She certainly seemed to get a little hotter when he stroked it. So he did it again, running his fingers slowly up and down the soft flesh of her ear. This was just too amusing really. At least he knew one of her weak points for that matter...Her ears. Maybe they tasted good...No! They were something that he could use to arouse her for that matter.
Hah, show him all her weaknesses, that was a really good idea wasn't it?
"Someone's got a little thing for having her ears felt up. Better than breasts it seems. Visible too...then again, with that dress..." He left it hanging for her to understand. Then again, he had just gotten very intimate with her entire body so nothing was left to his imagination anymore. "Let's go Mai, we have much to do." Well, she had much to do for him actually. Things like...have her mentality broken, among other things. This was going to be a nice day. She might even live! She had a good chance of living actually. "Under your clothing? Breasts, reproductive organs, soft supple flesh!" He wasn't afraid to speak his mind either and embarrass her, because really, he didn't feel that way anymore. Guilt and shame...pah. Nothing but weakness!
"What am I going to do to you? Oh I've got big plans there Mai! I want to ravage your flesh, I want to break your mind, I want to get inside your mind as well, and find out all about you." Skar stalked over to her, moving to behind the chair, his arms circling about it to grip her ears gently, slowly rubbing them with his thumbs.
"You must understand. You intrigue me. Naive, yet strong and resilient, yet you take orders very well. The last three people I've done that little stunt to really couldn't focus on anything about the ministrations. Then again, they were more cultured, coming from a large sinful city. You'll learn though." He continued to slowly rubbing her ears up and down. This was another ploy as well. Confuse her. Act nice, act harsh, act nice. There was so much he could do. Plus she seemed to really...really like it.
In the good way that he wanted.
Hm, maybe he could arouse her and then leave her that way. Oh...
Yes. That was a great idea. Leave her hot and heavy and simply sit back down in his chair like it was nothing. Of course, it wasn't nothing to him, he would be extremely annoyed that he couldn't go all the way but that had to wait.
"You see I'm not a bad person Mai. I just don't get along very well with people." He told her as he moved down closer to her ear to speak softly to her. "This is all I know, all I've been taught, but I can be very...very good." He was practically purring in her ear, one of his tentacles slowly moving around to her cheek. The hooks were retracted, slowly moving down to her lips, circling around them before it dropped down to rest across her chest.
-
As she sat in the chair, Mai kept her eyes closed, her bottom lip was clamped between her teeth and her hands were digging into the cloth of her skirt-type-feature. Mai refused to shake, refused to pant, refused to let the little gasps of pleasure slide past her lips at having her ears pet. She’d sit there like a statue and not cry, even though her eyes burned. Suppressing a sigh, Mais mind wandered ignoring the petting on her ears, which was probably a bad thing because not thinking about it made her moan at little before she clamped her hands over her mouth. Damnit. Mai attempt to shake her head, and ears, away from Skars grip before leaning as far away as she could, but remain on the chair. “If all that’s under my clothing is breasts and reproductive organs, why are you so keen on seeing them?� Her voice had lost its naïve edge, and was now a feral purr. Mai was turned over her shoulder, her arms wrapped around herself and her knees pressed together.
Mai was surprised not to feel a bolt of fear zing through her when he went on to explain, luckily not in much detail. She didn’t feel anything, though; she supposed that was a good thing. Biting her lip again and closing her eyes when his fingers went back to her ears she decided to just let him have his fun. For now. Of course she’d put up a fight when he got really busy, she had morals, and she’d be damned if she lost anything to this guy.
While Skar seemed to be annoyed at the fact that all he could do was pet her ears and hopefully get her hot and heavy, which was unlikely, the ear petting wasn’t <I>that</I> good, she was more than happy to have him give up. It meant she’d get a few minutes to think, figure out a good way to get away was… she could slap him! No, that was a bad idea; even though it was a nice idea at the same time it was a bad one. Opening her mouth and letting out a shaking breath, she felt something on her cheek, her brain made it worse than it was, and she was actually kind of glad to see a tentacle. Of course, the glad washed away quickly and when it passed over her lips, she felt like throwing up. She could handle it on her chest; it didn’t really look like an arm so why would she treat it like one or recoil the same way?
The purring voice in her ear brought her attention to that. Her eyes closed halfway and she looked a little sleepy, though her cheeks were still stained a shade of red and her lips were open slightly, breathing heavily. Though she said she wasn’t going to. It might throw him off, he’d just given her ears, a rather sensitive spot on her body, a good pet. He’d probably mistake the panting for one of pleasure rather than the fear she was feeling. “If you’re so good, how come I’m not liking this…? Wouldn’t that make you less than good?� Mai hoped to any god that would listen that she didn’t just offer to screw him or gave him leave to pet her more.
-
Skar knew she liked it.
He knew she wanted to gasp and sigh with pleasure, but she was really good at suppressing things it seemed. Though, she did moan quietly once, that is before she clapped a hand over her mouth and tried to escape from the ear petting. Skar did enjoy that part just a little bit. Just a little. Though she was trying to escape, but she was having a hard time since she knew she couldn't get off the chair. How adorable, she was listening at least! "Because you're a different species. Who knows what's inside or what's under them. Maybe they react different to stimuli, maybe they just work differently. They might feel better, might be tighter, might be looser, might taste different, there are so many questions that I ask, so many answers I'd like to know." Skar almost felt like a scientist. Yeah. This was all in the name of science!
And just boredom and general randiness.
Right now he wasn't TOO interested in having sex with her. All he wanted was to see how he could stimulate her without too much trouble. The ears things was working perhaps, he couldn't be sure. Maybe she just was fighting this too much, which really was a bit annoying. Really...annoying.
"I'm not sure. I suppose it would, wouldn't it?" That's when Skar just gave up, moved over to his chair and started to pilot the ship, pulling the gloves on but not the helmet. Oh no, he couldn't have her block on his vision with her here. Besides, he already knew where he wanted to go. A few taps on the keyboard, a couple of mental commands to the ship, and they were off again, the ship taking off toward space, punching through the atmosphere with little problem. So she was able to fight the ministrations on her ears then. Hm. He'd just have to find a different way to sexually torture her. Yes...though right now he had a much better plan going on in his mind. They had to get to another planet. Hopefully he could find that one that had been ruined by radiation, turning all the inhabitants into...well...mindl ess freaks. Sure they had basic speech capability and looked mostly humanoid, but they were all pretty much a feral form once more.
Skar looked over toward his captive and smiled slightly. She would lose a lot of herself today. Killing beasts was one thing...but killing actual people. That was a whole other thing. He hoped it would break her completely for him, but if it didn't, he had other things planned. "Now sit still and buckle up Mai. If you want your body to get healed, you're going to have to let the ship do the work." This was a fun treatment. Be nice, be mean, be nice, be mean. This day was getting better with ever minute. Mai already seemed confused in a way. She was also in the habit of being nice, but then being mean. He wasn't sure if her mind was having a hard time with all this, or if she was just trying to compensate.
Ah, who cared.
With a violent lurching from the ship they were sent hurling through space again, still just on the edges of the original solar system. That one with the space station...Libra or something. Didn't quite matter right now. Skar got up, heading to the back of the ship feeling a tad hungry. He opened a compartment, taking out a length of arm that was missing the hand and rest of the body. He closed the compartment and retreated back to Mai, sitting down and showing the long purple appendage to her. "This is Kaoli. She was a sweet thing like you. She had a thing for having her nose and tail rubbed. I liked her really. Of course, I got hungry and she said no to me one too many times." He took a bit into the arm, ripping flesh from the bone and swallowing it whole. He made a screwed up face though as he shook his head. "Just not the same when she was alive. She squirmed for a while after I bit her hand, sucking the flesh from her fingers...then she just got this look on her face...it was a dazed look, like her mind had gone empty." Another bite, tearing a good chunk from it, this time he had to chew, noisily of course. "Reached inside her mind to see what was going on. Poor thing had broke again. It couldn't handle the pain or the event. Not very fun. I brought her back though...we had one last sexual experience and then I slit her throat with a laser scalpel. I think somewhere during the sex her mind shut down again, and I just really was getting tired of that you know?"
-
The words. She really wished she could block out the words. Tighter!? Looser!? <I>Taste different?!</I> Was he going to snack on a tit or … snack on something else? Mai looked away, blushed brightly and refused to think about it. Mai wasn’t really thinking anything, her brain wandered, looking at things, still too hazy to think anything. Getting out was out of the question. Where would she go? How would she find a door? She could threaten him, but what would she threaten him with? Mai was far from physically strong in the upper body, she could jump pretty far, run quickly and for long distances, but push away a guy intent on grabbing her boobs? No strength.
Maybe because she was usually scared when that kind of thing happens? Who knows. When he told her to buckle up, Mai quickly buckled up. Not feeling too much like a good puppy because hey, she wasn’t stupid. She had no idea quite what would happen if she was just sitting or standing, and wasn’t too keen on finding out.
Of course, the jolt was sudden and surprising as always and she was already nearly curled up on herself so, much to Skars possible disappointment, nothing fell out. What really made her day just completely perfect, all sarcasm included, was seeing a purply something waving around in his hand. She leaned to look at it, and then recoiled quickly with a shocked gasp. It’s an arm. He was eating an arm. Mai could feel bile rise up her throat and she gagged lightly, covering her mouth with a hand before lowering her head and swallowing, which made her feel even more sick.
Mai pressed a hand to her stomach while one was against her mouth, listening to him talk, seeing him take another huge bite of the flesh, and chewing. Mai practically turned green, bolted out of the chair, and fell to her hands and knees facing some wall or something of the ship, her mouth open gagging slightly. Tears of rage filled her eyes and nearly the second he was done with his little speech about not being able to handle it. Mai vomited.
Once the reaches became dry heaves, Mai gave into to the sobs. Her forehead gleamed with slight sweat from throwing up, and she moved away, curling up, her knees to her chin. Wincing away from Skar slightly, she began to chant that she was sorry, that she didn’t mean to, and not to hurt her.
A far drop from the proud girl she’d been a moment before. A trembling heap of tears and mutters. Looking up, her cheeks now tear stained, she gasped out, seeing her vacant chair. She’d left it. “Skar… I’m sorry. I didn’t… Please don’t hurt me or… anything else. I’ll do what you say just…� Mai stared at the arm, and quickly closed her eyes and suppressed a gag “Please don’t eat me…�
-
She wasn't that strong when it came to vulgarity apparently. Her mind was very close to his now, he could understand a lot of her thoughts, and things seemed to be pretty bad. He would have to watch her on their next outing, just in case she tried to run. At least she wasn't strong it seemed, he could easily overpower her when he wanted something. Not to mention he could always just confuse and disorient her with his mind. That would be interesting, since he had never done that before. He knew how, or at least, he assumed he knew how, but actually doing it was a whole other matter. Still, not like he couldn't try it out on her. She was going to be a fine test subject.
A test subject in all aspects for that matter.
All aspects.
She finally seemed to grasp though just what he was eating. It was a good arm too, little dry though since the blood had coagulated and become thick, but he would just have to survive now wouldn't he? Mai didn't seem to like the fact that he was eating. That was kind of rude, he had a right to eat after all, didn't he? Maybe it was the fact that it was from a sentient being...he never understood that really. When it came from an unintelligent being, it was fine, you could eat all you wanted and you'd only be called a glutton, but when it was from a sentient organism capable of speech and advanced thought process, suddenly it was a bad thing.
Double standards.
Mai seemed to be...not doing so well during his speech....and...tha t's when she suddenly bolted from her chair. Now. He was going to punish her, but it seemed it was only because she was going to vomit in a corner. Then she started crying, sobbing loudly as he shook his head. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Still. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty for the whole thing. He did want to show her his true colours...which wasn't really a lavender purple anymore. It was more of an evil darker colour of some sort. Once more he couldn't think of a colour, because they were unimportant to him.
No matter.
"Eat you? Well, really we'll have to see about that." He took a final large chunk from the arm before he decided to stand up, walking past her to store it away in a compartment once more. Already her vomit was disappearing, the ship was absorbing it and using what it could before ejecting the rest into space. Such a helpful, handy, clean ship this was. She seemed almost terrified of him too, and he felt a whole lot better about himself. He liked it when people feared him. Granted he could only get a few people to fear him, and that was mostly when he had them captured as hostages but...that wasn't important now.
"You'll do what I say, and yet, you don't want me to hurt you or anything else? That doesn't sound very...promising you know. What am I supposed to do then?" He wandered over to her, his hand grasping her by the arm and picking her up from the ground. "I'll do what I want Mai, and if that means snacking on you, or exploring your body, then so be it. I don't need your permission, I don't need you to tell me I can. Hell, I've been contemplating taking one of your ears and seeing if I can't get you to produce more heat." He pretty much dragged her back to the seat, forcefully pushing her down onto it. "Now I'm going to be lenient, because you did do a good thing by not vomiting all over the console. However, if you leave the chair again, or you vomit again, me and you, we're not going to see eye to eye anymore." He gave a wicked smile as he sat back down, his eyes glancing over to Mai. "Mostly because I'll take one of your eyes and make you watch me eat it."
Eyes were good. Not full of much to fill him up, but a delightful snack. He only wished when he had eaten Kaoli he had been able to do that. Sadly he never got around to it. It would have been mighty amusing for him. "You know, I've always wondered what would happen if I were to rape a person with one of my flayer tentacles. All these hooks and what not probably hurt, but I think I could cause someone to go barren with one. Hell, I think I could pull out the womb and ovaries if I tried." It was just a thought to scare her, as he felt taking away a place of pleasure on her body wouldn't work for him. Rarely did he ever mess with the mouth or reproductive organs, they were almost sacred because he could achieve such pleasure from them.
Hopefully in the long run Mai would be able to give him said pleasure.
After he broke her mind and she offered herself willingly to him of course.

The empty feeling in her chest slowly grew. Just earlier she was reading a book, the character was in a position kind of like this one only she had a handsome prince save her. There wasn’t anything handsome here, nothing flowery or pretty, she was no heroine. She didn’t move to slap him, she hasn’t even kicked up much of a fuss other than trying to run away. And what female-hero pukes off in a corner? Letting out a shaky breath, she barely noticed Skar when he dragged her up to sit in the chair again. How nice of him, he didn’t slap her. A noise escaped her lips and a puff of air as she slumped over in the chair. That little ball of anger was at the pit of her stomach, her hands clenched together and her teeth bit into her lip. How could she let him do this to her? Treat her like a naughty pet.
Her head was bowed, listening to him tell her about how she was going to watch him eat one of her eyes if she did anything again. What did it matter? He was probably going to eat them anyway, why make it easy for him? He may have had barbed tentacles, but, he was probably as strong as every other man, and he had eyes. And she had finger nails. Unfortunetly, his brain moved the ship but, if she caused him to crash, and least he’d die, too. Hopefully. Wincing away from him while he went on about raping someone with his flayer tentacle, she silently mocked herself, her head still down, she looked at him through her hair. She’d wait for a moment when he was distracted, and she’d pounce and try to hurt him. She’d feel a little better if she managed to make him bleed.
Mai kept her mind relatively blank, well, the images of what Skar might have done to all those other people flashed through her mind. She didn’t want to think of those, not now, not when it was so close to happening to her. Taking a deep breath, Mai was quickly on top of Skar, her sharp meat-eating teeth firmly planted in his neck and her fingers digging into his sides. She wasn’t one to fight, so, she had no idea if she was doing this right, her eyes were closed so she might not have even had his neck, no matter. Clenching her teeth together, she’d hope that whatever she was biting would bleed. Even producing one drop of blood for this bastard would make her feel better, or go mildly psychotic. Either way worked for her at the moment.

Life wasn't a fairy tale.
For Skar, it had been hardship. While he believed that mutants were the wave of the future, on his planet, that wasn't wildly adapted sadly. People didn't see the dying planet, the need for genetic mutations, increased fertility. Nature was doing her job, trying to make a better race so that they could survive. All the people saw was the ugly creatures that were being created and hated them. That's why he left. The bigots of his race were too much. He hated them, mainly because...they were different. Inferior. He was the wave of the future. He was above all of them and their pathetic laws and moral standards. Skar did whatever he pleased, whenever he pleased.
That was his law.
For the time being, Skar had no plan on actually eating her, at least not in any sense of the word 'eat' of course. Hm, in all aspects, he wasn't even planning on anything sexual for that matter...at least nothing that SHE would enjoy. He didn't give back like that, it would show that he cared, and he really didn't care at all. Not about her anyways. Just about himself, and what he could do to her to break her psyche.
His thoughts were broken for a moment as he picked something up in her mind. She was thinking. Eyes. Fingernails. Tentacles. Words spun about in her mind, and Skarol wondered if she actually knew what being a psychic entitled. Hadn't he told her was a psychic? Perhaps. He couldn't care though, she'd learn one way or another. For the time being he monitored her thoughts, which had gone oddly blank for that matter.
Warning bells went off in his mind too. Alarms buzzed silently as he wondered if she was actually going to get up the nerve to speak or-Holy excrements! Mai was suddenly upon him, her teeth planted into his neck and fingers digging into him. That stupid little cettira was actually trying to fight him! Physically! While he admired her spirit, she REALLY actually hurt. Indeed she was piercing the skin of his neck, causing his strange deep violet blood to spill forth into her mouth. It would taste disgusting though, a strong bitter taste that was sharp on the tongue and just as vile as eating garbage. However, it had a pleasant smell oddly enough.
Skar gave an angered yell as he began to fight back, the first thing he had to do was regain control of...well the situation. The ship had activated it's auto-pilot, which was a good thing. The last known course was the one it would head for. The next was to...well, entangle her within his tentacles. The barbs and hooks of his flayer tentacles had already extended, which instantly sunk into Mai to control her. Arms. Chest. Neck. Shoulders. It was an all out fight to find SOMETHING to grab onto. His hands of course found something else as he wrestled her to the ground, pinning her back against floor. He found his hands pressed into the ripped and tattered clothing around her chest, firmly gripping her breasts. However, it wasn't really a sexual gesture at this point. It was one of rage.
Razor sharp teeth suddenly bit into Mai's breast near the top, showing her just that he meant business. "You smarten up you pathetic worm or I swear to the cosmos I will bite your breasts off." Her blood ran down the side of his mouth as he watched her with an enraged expression, absolutely fury deep in his eyes. The once dead eyes were alive with a pure hatred as his tentacles entwined and pulled taught amongst the appendages he grabbed. "You can live this cettira, you can live through ALL of this, but you have to learn that I AM NOT SOMEONE TO TRIFLE WITH!" His voice had raised several octaves as he yelled, glaring daggers at her as she seethed. Bruised, bleeding, he knew that she had done well for a street brawl. But this was his ship. His world.
And she would learn that.

(( ;_; I’m sorry it took so long to produce such a fine-tuned piece of CRAP D8 ))
When the foul liquid spilled into her mouth, she could taste and smell it, it was gross, but the need to hurt him was too powerful to make her recoil in disgust. Of course the feeling of barbs and hooks enter her skin all along her upper torso made her pull back and arch her head back in pain, her mouth open in a silent scream while his disgusting blood dribbled down her chin and from the corner of her mouth. A small gurgling cry managed to escape and she arches against him, not really wanted to be pressing down to the ground with all those barbs digging into her back and neck. Closing her mouth and moving to bite on her tongue to keep from crying out at all the things that happened at once, Mai struggled to keep her eyes open, to stare at him. Her teeth bite down harder on her tongue, causing it to bleed when she felt teeth sink into her chest, she could only arch with the pain, because screaming would be out of the option.
Breathing heavily, her fingers held in a claw like position and opened her mouth, pushing the gross stuff out with her tongue. She had planned on spitting it at him within the few seconds of her moving, but, thought better of it, now it slide down her chin in a gross slobbery mess. She didn’t wince at him yelling at her, though her boob kind of stung, her eyebrows drew together, and she swallowed, instantly regretting it as residue blood slid down her throat, making her gag. Clenching her teeth together, she breathed through them, arching up again when he pulled the barbed tentacles taunt. The only words she managed to gasp out were, “I’ll make eating me a big effort, and you won’t enjoy it Skar.� Wincing again, she struggled to keep her eyes open, but, they rolled into the back of her head anyway, the black lid closing up before the real lid. Mai had passed out, probably not a very good move but, at least she wouldn’t be awake to experience anything he chose to do with her.
-
As long as the barbs didn't move too much, they wouldn't hurt Mai too much. If he moved them around, he could do serious damage. Like flay the skin from her body. Hey, they weren't called flayer tentacles for nothing after all! Heh. Very appropriately named he thought in all honesty. She seemed to understand, somewhat...though she was fighting so much. He felt her arch her back when his teeth sank into the delicate flesh of her chest, piercing the skin of her breasts with a clean movement. She deserved it, she had attacked him.
She deserved all the hate and fury possible.
"Who knows, I might just enjoy it more than you think." Skar shot right back as he watched her suddenly go limp, her eyes rolling back in her head and the lids closing and she went quiet. Son of a...She passed otu. He reached out with his mind to stroke it carefully. She wasn't broken. Whew. If she had been...oh yes. She would have been in trouble. Very much trouble.
Slowly Skar removed the barbs from her body and stood up, pulling her up with both hands. He dragged her over to the second chair, enjoying it for that matter since his hands were pressed deep into her chest. Hm, she should pass out more often! Then again he didn't need an excuse to do this but...Ahem. When she was in the chair he just watched her, wondering. What should he do to her? She was pretty much vulnerable at this point...he could do anything. He leaned down o the bite on her chest and smirk, his tongue coming out to run slowly along her wound, feeling the marks from his teeth as he carefully absorbed the blood. Oh she was delicious, even her blood was good!
He bared his teeth against as he bit into her once more, piercing this time her other breast and letting blood flow freely. Damn it. He wanted to just...take a chunk out of her flesh and finish her now but...he had ideas. He had big plans for her at this time. Things he wanted to do. He had to be careful about his emotions though. If he lost control, she would die. He gave a growl as he tore away from her, careful not to tear anymore of her skin. At least she had matching marks on her. He grabbed the buckle and quickly belted it up, his knuckles pushing into her chest as he got the belt into place.
There was no doubt in his mind now that she had breasts, and for the reason that mammals usually did of course.
Skarol went to his chair and sat down, slipping his gloves on and focusing. The ship lurched again before giving a violent shake as they jumped again. Time to get back to it before he did something to her that he would regret. Like killing her.
The ship jumped back into normal space and he sighed. Already he planned a descent course. Scanners picked things up on the planet...it was just as he thought. A ruined civilization. There'd be people here...and there were different traces of radiation. Heh heh. This was good indeed. They landed finally after a while, and Skarol was careful to scan the world and see what was out there. It was interesting...There were indeed pockets of civilization, no more than maybe a hundred or so....but he was more interested actually in the other things out there. Hm. Interesting enough. The doors opened to the ship and he approached Mai, putting his hand on her forehead and concentrating. "Up you get now. Right now." He gave a powerful mental slap to her, trying to bring her back from that dark fog that surrounded her mind at this time.
"It's time for your next lesson Mai. I promise this one will be different. And don't mind the stinging pain on your chest. I thought I'd help myself to a bit of a taste test. You're not missing anything but a bit of blood though. I know. What a good guy I am." He waited to say this of course until she got up. He would have felt odd just saying this when no one was listening. It would have made him look odd.
-
The mind was sleeping but the body was awake. But, after that mental slap, she was awake too. Her chest hurt, what happened? Mais mouth tasted awful and her tongue hurt. Slowly her eyes opened up and closed again, looking around and pushing a hand to her chest to rub the pain away, which only made it hurt more. She hissed and drew her hand away, to look at her chest, the bastard bit her again! And now she had bleeding teeth marks on her chest! Too tired, mentally and physically to make a rukus about it, she simply looked at him while he spoke, doe-eyed and maybe a little sleepily. Mais mind wandered, he didn’t eat her? Or rape her? Even though she was passed out, and would have stayed passed out if she didn’t get that mental smack? She opened her mouth to tell him Thank You for not eating me, but, nothing game out, and all she got to do was show off her tooth bitten tongue which she quickly retreated back into her mouth.
They were on another planet? Mais hand groped for the buckle, so she could stand, accidentally touching the stinging wounds more than once. A little cry of pain and finally the damn buckle was off, a sigh of relief and she stood up. The only thing that didn’t sing with pain was her legs and ears. Wrapping her arms around herself she closed her eyes and dropped her head down, looking at the ground before looking up again. Something new to do? What was it? Mais mind wandered, maybe she’d get off lucky and have to walk across an open lava pit on nothing but a string. Maybe she’d get even more lucky and fall off.
Mais head rose up and she looked at Skar. He was so nice on the big ship, and now he was torturing her. It was quite obvious Mai didn’t have any taste in men, but, all hope was not lost for someone to magically scoop her up and rescue her. Key word being there magically, because how the hell is she going to get away from someone with barbed tentacles? She suddenly remembered that one comment he made about a flayer tentacle and… An angry blush spread across her cheeks and she glared at him. She wanted to scream at him, and beat him, but she couldn’t, she was too weak. Though, Mai thought as she licked around her teeth to get all that nasty tasting stuff out of her mouth, she made him bleed, she could probably do it again. “What are you going to make me do, now?� A strong voice from one so battered, of course, that was pretty much all she had left, her voice. Her clothes were certainly ruined, but she figured Skar would like that bit.
All in all, Mai was still polite. She’d wait to spit out the yuckie-stuff once they got off his ship.
-
He could have just slapped her normally and it might have woke her up just as well. Ah well. You live and you learn right? And Mai had to learn this lesson. Sleeping or awake, she could never escape from him, she would never be allowed to get away from him. She would always be his, and there was going to be only way to escape from him.
By death.
It sounded melodramatic in his mind yes, but hone he had a hold of someone, he never ever let go, at least not easily. Already her first fight pretty much ended in an upset, he had won it and she had lost it so easily. That meant that she wasn't a good fighter. Still. Earlier when she had ran...had he not been prepared, she might have made it from him. He would have to be careful...she was good at running. If he gave her an opening on this planet, she would not doubt take it...then he would no longer have her. Of course, he would be able to find her when he launched back to space. He'd just have to find the right brainwaves and thoughts...and since the only person here he knew was Mai...finding her wouldn't be too hard.
Skarol picked up at that particle blaster and checked it carefully. Undamaged thankfully, and still had quite a few shots left. Of course, it fed off the matter around it when it was empty. It had at least forty more shots in it though. Damn. he only wished he hadn't sacrificed one of Kaoli's legs for this thing. Not only would he then have an extra leg, but Mai would truly learn the meaning of survival. She would have to give up part of her body, some skin and blood in order to survive. Pity that the gun was almost full up still. Maybe later though when he made her kill other things.
"Kill people. Sentient, humanoid, pain feeling monsters. Oh by the way," Skar walked off the ship into the ruin land. It was dark, the sky above was a clouded grey and green with strange rumbling lightning coursing through the battered sky. The ground once held civilization, now it was just ruins, crumbled buildings of a once great city. They're on thoughts of justice, of defending themselves, of building a bigger and better bomb...this is where it got them. Killed. Huddling together in areas from the mutated wild life of their once proud city. No doubt years ago this place had been amazing. Now it was just an empty shell, filled with the violent ghosts of the past.
"You're going to swallow the blood in your mouth. You spit it out, and we're going to have a problem. One that will be resolved by me biting off one of your fingers and forcing you to eat it. I think the index finger might be appropriate. Though, I've always wondered what your cute little pinky fingers taste like." Skar mused as two of his tentacles lashed out behind him, grabbing Mai around the arm and forcefully bringing her out to stand beside him. "It's another test Mai, I hope you pass. You passed the other one with flying colours, so I can only hope you do half as good here. Now try not to mind me, I'm going to be doing what I always do." That is to say, molesting her and getting himself excited in the process. It was also a test for him of course. Would he be able to hold himself and not molest her? Part of him wished he couldn't of course. Still. He had to hold himself, she was going to be a perfect apprentice. One free of pain, of distractions, hell bent on being the greatest, and of course, serving him till death.
That was one thing he had to make sure of.
That she served him, and not herself.
-
Still a little drowsy from her little nap, she shook her head again, her hair was now up at odd angles, and the long braid of hair was slowly coming loose trailing down her back in waves of white-blonde hair. Mai was doomed, so completely and utterly doomed, so, she vowed to herself she’d make her last moments with this fellow the worst he’s ever had. She’d been able to make her brothers go completely crazy from her ways, they were grown men, why would Skar be any different? Sure he might threaten to eat a finger or something, maybe bite her boob again, but the thought that she’d gained courage enough to piss him off made her feel good. Inside at least, her outside was feeling pretty raw and beaten up. Unconsiously she rub her arms, looking down at her hands, before looking back up at Skar as he began to speak.
She didn’t want to kill people again, Mai lowered her head slightly, and gave a small squeak when the tentacles grabbed her and dragged her to him. She had heard what he said, she couldn’t spit out his blood? He’d eat a pinky? Mai pondered on what was so different, sure, losing a pinky would hurt, but it’d piss him off if she really did spit. Lifting her eyes to stare straight at his face, she leaned over to him slightly and spat the blood that was in her mouth, onto his foot. “It’s your blood, I thought you’d want it back.� Swallowing the lick of fear that rose up her throat, the urge to cower and hide herself, she simple stood by him, straight back, head held high.
Sure it was a risky stupid move, but Mai was positive that he was going to eat her anyway. Even if he didn’t plan on eating her, she was certainly going to be a snack now. The down side to being a naïve princess from a planet full of feral beasts, she didn’t know when to give up and go with the flow. Definitely a stick in the mud, though it suited her just fine. She was past caring who she had to kill to keep herself alive, even if she was missing a pinky, she still wanted to get away. That would be the biggest blow to his ego, too. Looking straight ahead, her breathing normal and even, though her tongue and chest stung, for a second, her eyes flickered to the ground, and she quickly licked her lips.
Needles to say, Mai was a little more… Stupid than naïve.
-
Contrary to what she believed, he had no intention on killing her actually. He was going to make sure she lived for quite a while now, she wouldn't like being alive, but she would be. After all, the greatest gift she ever received was life, and who was he to take it away? Besides, in the end, she'd only have two things left. Her mind...and him. That was the key part right there. He had to make sure she had only two things. Him and her life. If she only had those, she would never run, and she would only want to stay near him. Oh excellent indeed.
Skar looked at her carefully when she spit the blood out onto his foot. Oh no. She did NOT just do that. "Hm. You raise a good point." Well. She would learn today a new lesson. This was called the phantom appendage lesson. When you lost something, your brain still believed that it was here, that it existed...it had no idea how to deal with the loss. She would learn the loss today though. It wouldn't be fun for her...it wouldn't be pleasant...it was going to hurt, and she was going to bleed, and cry.
No.
She wouldn't cry. He'd make it forbidden to cry.
Slowly his hands went to hers and he brought it up wards. His tongue slipped out and started to lick the digits on her hands. He kept her from balling her hand into a fist, gripping the digits with his own hands while his tentacles wrapped around her and dug deep into her, keeping her from escaping. "You didn't listen. You didn't learn. You don't trifle with me." It wasn't said with his mouth, which was busy exploring her fingers. It was said instead with his mind, the voice sounded like it was right beside her ear, whispering to her, but distant. He chose a finger, her pinky on her left hand.
It was quick. His teeth came down, the sharp rows simply biting into the flesh and through the bone as well. He pulled back after ward, blood streaming from his mouth and from Mai's hand. He kept her close as he moved his hands to her eyes, holding them open. He was making sure with his mind that she wouldn't pass out. "Watch. Watch me eat your finger." He began to chew noisily, swallowing the bits of skin and muscle. When he was done, slowly something began to pop out from his mouth. Something white and blood with specks of flesh. Then.
He spit out the bone onto her face, which then of course fell away onto the ground.
"Now remember carefully what I told you about people who have their minds break. I don't like them." The gun was forced into her hands and all the tentacles slowly ripped themselves from her skin. He moved around her, forced her to move forward onto the ground until they were a good ways out. He was close to her, his body pressed against her, tentacles wrapped around her abdomen. "You're going to kill people. They're out there. Don't move very fast. I can hear them though...can you?" Indeed, if people listened they could hear people moaning in pain and for people they lost. They didn't seem to know where they were, they seemed...hungry. Most called for food, that they were hungry...and you could see deformed shapes in the fog and slowly gathering darkness.
"Does it feel like it's still there Mai? You have to do this quick though. You'll pass out from blood loss...and then you'll fail your test. That can't happen." He told her quietly, whispering in her ear, a bit of blood from his mouth spraying onto her neck. She had no idea what he had planned. "Raise that weapon now Mai. You will be my apprentice and you will be greatest one I ever had."
-
Before Mai really knew what was happening, she felt her fingers being clasped in his, and his tongue. Yech. Leaning away from him, her other hand to her chest, she closed her eyes, not really wanting to see him molest her fingers with his slimy tongue. Though, the whispering in her ear, which was really in her head, made her eyes snap open and turn to look for who spoke. What…? The words spoken made her worry and she was staring at Skar when he bit off her finger. For a few seconds, she didn’t feel anything, simply saw the blood drip down the wound, roll down her arm and drip off her elbow. Then the pain came, she grew pale and she could only watch him, and keep from moving so his tentacles didn’t hurt her.
A small, rather loud, scream of pain escaped her lips before she clamped her other hand over it, to cover it, and keep it quiet so the mutated people didn’t come to eat her, too. She looked away, clamped her eyes closed, but, unwillingly they were pulled open. The pain was too much for her to cry, it was past tears and screaming, and she was watching anyway, the only thing Skars hands were doing were making her eyes dry and sting. She was watching, all on her own, and was completely mortified, not even wanting to look away anymore. The pain was forgotten and she recoiled when he spat her bone onto her face, leaning back, she didn’t even notice the barbed tentacles being ripped from her skin.
When Skar moved, Mai could only hold her hand out, staring at the bloody mess that left an empty spot on her hand. Slowly follow the little drips of blood that fell off her elbow, into a now little puddle on the ground. Her good hand held the gun he pushed into her hands, and slowly her head turned down towards it, shaking a little, simply standing. Kill, again? Shivering slightly, Mai finally realize that she was possibly going to bleed to death, or at least faint from blood loss, looking behind her slightly, towards him. “I… I can hear blood rushing in my ears… And crying. Skar… I can’t use my hand… and I need both of… of them.� Mai licked her lips and her eyes rolled up into the back of her head slightly before she quickly woke up, her skin was an odd grayish colour. She looked at her hand dully, smirking lightly, tiredly, at it’s new little pool of blood, why wasn’t it stopping? Why didn’t it hurt?
Looking behind her again, dully, she swayed, and leaned a little against Skars chest. Mai closed her eyes for a moment, the second darker lid didn’t fall into place, there was no sun to protect her eyes from. Closing her wounded hand into a fist, she could feel the pinky there, but she couldn’t really <I>feel</I> it. She knew it was gone, she’d seen him suck the flesh off. She shuddered and pressed closer to Skar, even though he’d just chewed off her finger, she felt an odd comfort from having <I>someone</I> around. The temperature in her body dropped, and she began to shiver, looking out towards the sound of voices, spotted one of them. Raise the gun did he say? Best apprentice ever? Did she really want that?
Forget him. If she took her anger out on him, she’d have no fingers left, she’d have nothing to jab in his eye if she felt induced to do so. The creature over there however. She could kill that, and it couldn’t do a thing to her. Mai licked her trembling lips and raised the gun with her good hand, watching the creature hobble its way over, a crazed look in its eyes and a flesh hungry grin on its face. A click, and the creature fell down, a hole in its neck, for it to writhe and suffer. She was slightly disturbed at how that made her feel a little better, missing a finger and leaving puddles of blood on the ground. Licking her lips again, she waited for Skar, only one side really leaning on him. Her knees shook, and she was even colder now, and her breath was coming out in short gasps, a cold sweat on her forehead. She swallowed, and turned her head slightly to look at Skar. “Are you going to let me kill them, or not?� A finger scrapped down a tentacle rather harshly, assuming he’d get the not-so-subtle ‘let me go so I can make myself feel better by shooting people in the face’ message.
-
Well, at least she had no idea what was about to befall her. He didn't WANT to do this per se, but she had to learn one way, and right now...this is how it was going to be. Piss him off, lose a digit.
Well.
Really, after this one, he wasn't going to bite anymore fingers off. He had done that before. No he was going to force feed her a flayer tentacle and ruin her chances of ever eating properly. Oh that was a deliciously evil though, and he'd probably have to wait to do that one. It would no doubt end with her death, and he didn't want her to die. As a last ditch effort, maybe that is what he'd do to her, but he had to remember that she was supposed to be alive. Ah, right, those little details.
Always the little details.
At least she wasn't crying and her scream was cut short as she clamped a hand over her mouth. He smiled pleasantly, and really, he had been right. She was delicious. Absolutely perfect. She was a bit chewy, perhaps a little wetter than he expected her to be, but the skin just fell off the bone and the muscle was nice. Still, he only wished he could have bitten through the bone and sucked the marrow out but...such was life. Maybe if she was lucky, he'd get the ship to regrow her a new pinky finger. It had the capability, as long as they kept the bone with them. He'd retrieve it later and put it in his pocket. Then if she pleased him, he'd offer that reward for her.
Probably wouldn't take it though.
She seemed like one to grin and bear it.
"No you don't. The gun has a low kickback recoil to it, being a particle charged weapon. You can fire it with one hand. If I have to bite your other hand off to make that point I will. Lady fingers never fill me up, I always need a bit more." He licked the blood from around his mouth, wondering if maybe he should do something to heal that bleeding little stump up so she didn't actually bleed to death. No. That would mean he would have to leave her here, go to the ship, get a medical device and come back. By that time, she could either have killed all the things by then or really just run away, and that wasn't going to happen.
His eyes wandered to her. Why was she leaning against him? And was she shivering? It wasn't cold here...Right! Blood loss. Hah. He forgot about that sort of thing. He made careful to monitor her mind, make sure he could hear her now clear thoughts. Ah. There. There it was.
That divine rage. That fire that burned within everyone. She had been smoldering it, scared, afraid of what may happen but now...now she was ready to let the fire consume her. He watched the first creature go down. A simple pull of the trigger and the particle shot went through its neck. Hah! That was excellent. She was a good shot, she learnt how to use these weapons well. Skar stood there for now, letting her lean on him, while his tentacles absently floated to places on her body, feeling their way across her rump, downward past her naval and upwards to feel about her chest and breasts once more. He had planned to do more actually, to pretty much get behind her and let her feel himself upon her rear but honestly, watching her start to unleash her rage upon things was really quite fun.
He almost jumped when a finger ran down one of the tentacles, his eyes looking to her harshly. "My! The little Mai is growing up so fast. No no though. You can't be trusted, not yet. You'll stand where you are, and you will wait for the creatures to come to you. I want you to look at the dead ones though right now Mai. Look at them. People. Just like you, and now they're dead by your hand. Remember this moment well Mai. You're better than all of these things, better than almost everything, save for me of course, and as such, you deserve to deal their death to them. This is your right! You are higher up than they, and as such you are given certain privileges." Skar moved around her as he spoke, his tentacles dragging about her body as he moved behind her. Ah he found his randiness once more from speaking like that, of being higher and what not. Fingers explore her body while his mouth pressed against her neck, teeth digging in slightly as he kissed the soft flesh. "You haven't got long Mai. I want you to really focus now and start killing what you can barely see. If you do really well, I might let you have your finger back, and I might even take you back to the ship to stop the bleeding." He pressed himself hard up against her as his teeth suddenly poked into her skin, not too far, just a little.
"But," The voice was back to being beside her ear once more. "Displease me again and I'm afraid there will be dire...dire consequences."
-
The hollow feeling was a little familiar. Like meeting an old friend you didn’t really like but missed anyway. She could feel the tentacles as they wormed their way around her body. Could feel them but they didn’t shoot jolts of pleasure or tingles anywhere, the pain from her missing finger snaked any of that away. Not that she wanted to like the wiggles from the tentacles, she had better ways of getting off, thank you. Looking down at the ground, the edges of her vision a black haze, she blinked at the gun, seeing another creature hobble its way down to the fresh meat, the other dead body. A shot was fired and the creature fell, a scream of pain was given, she’d only shot it in the gut, it’d bleed to death, like she was bleeding. She jolted slightly and forced her eyes open, her body wanting to faint because of the pain she was ignoring, oh, she could feel it, she was just pretending it wasn’t really there.
They weren’t people just like her. Hardly. She wasn’t hungry, she was clothed… Sort of… and she was only wounded because some psychotic purple alien bit off her damn finger. Mai looked at the two dead bodies, slowly more of them, tumbled over the rubble, careful aim with her sharp eyes and they all tumbled down the hill in a heap, she didn’t want to be here any longer than she had to. Mai didn’t want to bleed anymore, she didn’t want to hurt, she wanted to curl up into herself and pretend this wasn’t happening. This weren’t real people. They were all pretend, they wouldn’t feel pain and the screams and pain she was making them feel was all make-believe, projected into her head by Skar, who was wiggling against her again. The perv. She didn’t get why he wiggled, the tentacles were kind gross.
While Mai was musing about Skar being gross and wiggly. She’d killed a few more people, the haze had grown closer to her actual vision, and all she could se were her targets. Mai had given up on Skar and him stopping the wiggling so, she just wiggled with him, not rubbing or anything just moving with him. Maybe he’d stop or something. A few more creatures went down, her shooting arm now shaking, a little bead of sweat dripped off her chin, and her breathing was heavy. Mai looked around, but nothing came over, moans could be heard from the slowly dying creatures. The gun arm swung down, the device falling from her shaking clammy hand. It was then that she wasn’t focused on anything that the pain really hit her.
A gasping sob left her throat and she bent over slightly, grabbing and ripping a good chunk of her skirt and quickly attempting to wrap up her hand. “Sk… Skar… “ She moaned lightly, in pain, not at all a moan of pleasure from the weird tentacles, that would be ridiculous, or from the hip moving. She couldn’t help it when she leaned more heavily on him, her entire body shook and her brain finally registered all the pain. From the cuts, from the bite on her neck, from her finger, from everything. The only thing that didn’t cause any pain was killing the people, in fact, it made her feel a little better, and she didn’t feel guilty at all. Mai was slowly becoming twisted and selfish. Then again, they were dying, she wasn’t going to die. She didn’t want to die.
Mai wanted to pluck out Skars eyes too badly and shove them down his throat to die. Who would do it then?
-
Skar probably remembered that no one really felt anything after getting their finger bit off. Too much rush of endorphins and what not, stopping most sensations. Still. It was freedom to grope then from him. If only she could feel something. Maybe she would have liked it. He made sure to listen to her mind though, he wanted information on her. Maybe he could find a way to use herself against her. Things she liked, things she hated, fetishes she had even. Kaoli had an interesting fetish, she liked having fingers pressed into her lower back. She also seemed to like the engine hum for that matter.
Really liked it.
She had been fun. Annoying in the end, but still fun.
"They've all got families Mai. All have people who love 'em. Now you're sending them straight to their creator. Good work." She didn't cry like some of his victims when they took the lives of sentient humanoids. This was fantastic! Her progress was getting to be absolutely remarkable. Skarol noted something, she wasn't giving them...a chance to die quickly. All her shots were aimed for parts of their bodies that would make them bleed to death in agony. Those haunting screams from the dying were just lovely, like a chorus of angels singing. Ah she was good. She was really good.
"Listen to them all Mai. Listen to them scream and gurgle and die. It's a wonderful sound." She thought they were fake, her mind practically screamed this. Oh no. They weren't fake at all. He had given up doing that fake thing long ago. Planting images of monsters and people to shoot inside the minds of his hostages. No doing that wasn't fun anymore. They didn't scream like this, they didn't gurgle when they died, and they certainly didn't release the sweet smell of crimson spray into the air.
Something changed as he ground himself against her. She started moving with him. For a split second he almost thought she was enjoying it. Then he snapped back to reality and growled lightly in her ear. He started moving a different way, his hands on her hips and forcing her to move in a new direction now, one different from him. He was excited, there was no doubt about that, but he wasn't going to do anything else right now. Later. Oh later he'd do something to her. After all, you couldn't just get someone excited like this and leave them excited, now could you? When you get someone aroused, it was your responsibility to deal with that arousal.
The gun clattered to the ground and a tentacle went to retrieve it. Luckily the gun wasn't that delicate and it could take a beating. Still he wished she wouldn't drop it. He did have a small arsenal of weapons but this one was his favourite. Light, portable, and fed off the flesh of others, just like himself. Though he wasn't that light...and probably not that portable...more stubborn really. Huh. Alright so the only thing him and the gun had in common then was it fed off the flesh of others. "Mm?" His thoughts were interrupted by a moan of pain from Mai. All of his tentacles stopped moving, and he quite grinding against her. Damn. Few more minutes of that and he would have had a mess on his hands. "Alright, let's get you inside." One tentacle did retrieve the bone from her pinky, putting it into his pocket for later.
Maybe she'd get this back. Maybe he'd just wear it as a trophy. They would have to see. Skar plucked Mai up in his arms and took her back to the ship, placing her on the chair and getting the medical kit. Wasting valuable resources on her. She should know that he actually cared whether she lived or died then. He got out the cell regenerator, taking her hand and carefully closing the wound up on her hand. He cleaned the blood away, with a cloth instead of his tongue, and put a hand to her forehead. "I'm going to do something special for you Mai. I hope you appreciate it." He reached inside her mind...and plucked the phantom feeling from her mind.
He hoped she was happy. He went back into the medical bag and removed a small dry wafer, it was sealed in a package and had a slight orange tint to it. Carefully he placed it into the palm of her hand. "You need to eat this Mai. It'll help your body in producing more blood okay?" She had done him proud, she deserved to be treated nicely for once. He did help her get the buckle of the chair back on before he sat down, plotting in a course for high orbit around the planet. He hadn't a clue where they would go now...but he just knew right now Mai would need to rest. No need to push her too far, she deserved a rest after a job well done. She had even survived getting a digit bitten off.
Still. She was going to have to deal with an aroused alien later when she was more awake.
-
While her body moved on its own accord, she felt a little relieved when he stopped petting her and just stood still. Mai leaned more heavily on him, her eyes half closed and her breath coming out in short puffs. The change of position, from being on her feet, to being in a pair of arms, made her dizzy and she clung to the person who picked her up. Maybe it was her prince charming. Magically killed Skar within a few seconds and was carting her away to live happily ever after. Though, once she regained her brain-balance she looked up and was disappointed. It was Skar, though he was being kind of nice, didn’t re-chew on anything. Mai murmured in her half-sleep those words “That was nice.� The loss of blood, and the shock of having a finger bitten off made her sleepy and absent minded, and she mumbled about fairly random things. Like how her boobs hurt.
The warmth of the ship was a comfort from her shaking cold form, being dazed, she barely noticed being put in a chair, besides the dizziness coming back. She blinked a few times, clearing the haze away, to see him tending the wound he made. If she could glare at him, she would have, but Mai couldn’t muster the strength to move the face muscles to do so. Mai leaned back a little when he reached a hand up to touch her forehead, quickly regretting it when her head lolled back and her eyes rolled into the back of her head. Quickly though, she woke her self up, her head quickly snapping back into place, her dark eyes on Skars hand. She didn’t notice until he was done that she couldn’t feel the pinkie that wasn’t there anymore. Where did it go? Mai wiggled the wounded hand, she was like her brother now, missing a piece of herself. Heh.
Dark eyes followed Skar slowly, then looked at the weird thing in her hand. Looking back up at him, tilting her head to the side, she feebly opened the package and took the thing out. It smelt horrible, but he told her to eat it, she could do that right? Besides, it might make her feel better like he said. He was being nice again. In Mais dazed brain, she figured that he’d been possessed, if she was lucky. He really was a nice person before he got her onto that planet to kill things. Then again, he did bite off a pinkie. Mai bit the thing he gave her, and quickly swallowed it, not wanting to taste it or for the taste to get around her mouth, if there was one. She quickly finished if off, and then thought she was being sneaky and subtle when she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
It was a few hours before Mai woke up, feeling almost normal, even without a finger. Her heat was back, she was flushed even, having had a higher-than-PG-dream. The tips of her ears were slightly red, and Mai looked around quickly. Biting her lip, not sure if she could unbuckle the buckle she looked around, cleared her throat and held her arms to her chest. “Um, Skar…? Thank you, for… wrapping up my hand…� Slumping in her chair slightly she lowered her head and licked her lips. “Can I unbuckle the belt…?�
-
Hah.
A shining knight to come save her. Her mind was funny when she was like this. As if someone could get the best of him. He was careful after all. He made sure people couldn't easily get the drop on him. Even if they did, they better have their own ship because they would not be able to fly his. "Was it now? Glad you enjoyed it." She seemed completely out of it, and no doubt for good reason! After all, she had been molested, forced to kill, a finger bitten off, all that blood loss, he couldn't really blame her for being out of it...well, he probably COULD blame her for that but still....
Not right now.
She had done well for the time being.
He increased the heat of the ship, even he was feeling a bit cold but no doubt poor Mai was really feeling cold. He couldn't let her die. Oh no...not yet. He wanted to her to live. He was proud that she was fighting so much for that matter. "Don't go to sleep. You need to stay awake you know." His voice was soft as he spoke to her, shaking her to consciousness. He had to keep her from passing out until he could get the proper stuff done. Like stop the bleeding and give her the special treat that would stop her from dying of blood loss. Everything about Skar seemed calmer now, it seemed different, like he actually cared. He did too, somewhere in him, buried deep away he did care, and it was showing now. Only a little bit.
He kept telling himself that he only cared because she was so amusing. Yes. That's all he had to tell himself.
"I fixed your brain." Skar said simply as she wiggled the wounded hand. That was really it. He took away the phantom feeling. A gift really. For doing so well after all. At least she was a bit...more suggestible. She even opened up the package and ate the thing. Sure it didn't smell too nice, but it had a slightly good taste to it and it would help her in the long run. That's when she passed out and he sighed. He set the ship to do a run of the outer reaches of this small solar system. He wanted to know all that was out here in these unexplored lands. Plus...his new co-pilot was sleeping so really he was bored. Time went by slowly...Skar paced once in a while, sometimes he would move to Mai and want to touch her but then he didn't of course. For some reason he stopped himself.
It was hours later and he was back in their chair. The ship had just given a pretty vigorous shake as they came out of their point to point jump, stopping on the opposite side of the sun as they had been on. It was empty space here. Only a few of the planets were occupying this area, three or so. Everything else was on the other side of the sun enjoying itself over there. His eyes looked over to Mai as she woke up, an eyebrow raised. "It...had to be done." He said simply. Yes. That's it.
It had to be done.
"Hm? Yeah sure, go ahead. We're not going to be able to make a jump for a little while. You know, most stars when they're born are binary, there are two of them. Yet you've only got one sun here in this solar system. Isn't that odd? I really do wonder what happened to the other star." It had to have gone somewhere. Maybe it wasn't able to form, maybe it shot off into a different orbit? There were so many possibilities. Hm. There wasn't any place to land. Gas giants, unterraformed planets. So they'd float about in space and wait for the ship to recharge itself.
"Have a nice sleep?" She seemed redder than normal. Her ears were slightly red and she was quite flushed. He had tried to look in her dreams but he had no idea where to find them. A pity too because she seemed to be enjoying them. "You did seem to be liking it. Dream anything interesting?" If had known what she was dreaming, he would have asked this question anyways, but this was really just an innocent question, a casual question to simply pass the time as it were.
-
Owlishly blinking around, lifting up her hands to rub at her hands and mouth, incase she had drooled or something, Mai looked around. Her dark eyes falling on Skar, watching him talk, it took a minute for his voice to penetrate though the fuzz around her brain but she unbuckled the belt and slumped a little in her chair. Afraid to get off and walk around, incase the “Don’t get out of your chair� rule still applied. It wouldn’t do well to have him be pissed off at her up here in the middle of nowhere. Looking where he was talking about, towards the star, the black lids fell into place so she didn’t hurt here eyes, which were surprisingly sensitive to natural light. While her head was pointed towards looking outside, and her eyes seemed to be facing that direction, she was really watching Skar.
He ate her finger. And let her bleed while she murdered people. Then picked her up, carted her back to his ship patched up her finger, the one he bit off, and helped her. Mai wasn’t sure what to feel for him. Hate? No, Mai couldn’t hate him. Sure he’d done some pretty mean things to her, but he was being nice now. Maybe he was having a bad day? A wave of sleepiness washed over her during her train of thought and she yawned widely, bringing up her wounded hand to cover her mouth. The dark eyelids drew back and Mai looked at her hand.
Missing a pinky. Putting both her hands together, she put them palm-to-palm. The left one was lopsided, if Mais ears could droop they would have. Momentarily she lost all urge for conversation, but quickly decided that it would be a good learning experience, and besides, her brother lost an entire arm and he still talked. Then again, his was bitten off by a monster, not someone he was slightly attracted to. Mai imagined her brother being attracted to the huge beast who snacked on his arm and she shuddered a little after making a funny little face. She decided not to tread on that ground again and to never imagine her brother again.
Skar spoke and Mai jumped slightly, looking over at him quickly. Careful to stay in her chair, moving the bits of clothing she had left to cover her naughty bits, she smiled at him politely and looked towards him, her eyes on the wall right beside his head. She was afraid looking at him again, seeing the dead cold eyes and her fate screaming in them. Mai assumed that everyone would be wanting to get away by now, even if he was acting nice. Thinking back to his question, and her dream, she shifted slightly and looked down at her hands, the flush on her cheeks darkened slightly and she cleared her throat before she spoke. “It was a… Very interesting dream. Umm… Were you bored?� She quickly licked her lips and cleared her throat again, not sure at all if she was about to say the right words. “I’ll stay awake… and keep you company if you’re bored.�
-
Skar smiled a little bit and as he looked over to her who seemed pretty out of it still. At least she was able to unbuckle the belt, he really wasn't sure if she'd be able to do it with her head still in the fog. She was starting to adapt better to the whole situation. He was glad that she would be able to do so, that would make this new life of hers go a lot smoother. If you adapted, you lived longer. A whole lot longer. Skar looked out toward space, to the large burning sun. Ugh. He thought it was too bright, and suddenly, it was fixed, a new layer fell down over the view screen and they could look at the sun without it burning their eyes. Skar looked over toward Mai with a small smile, knowing she was probably quite restless. "Y'know, there isn't very far to go on this ship but if you want you can get up and walk around."
He decided he'd be nice to her...for now.
Until she managed to piss him off of course.
He wasn't having a bad day though. This had all been planned after all. He plotted the whole thing out, wanting to break her mind and that sort of thing. This hadn't been just a 'Oh I woke up feeling bad so I decided to ruin someone's life' sort of thing, it went deeper than this. This was the way Skar lived, the only way he actually knew how for that matter. It had been quite a while since he had known anything else, when he had, he was young, very young, and he thought he was weak back then, a child who had no idea of the two faces people carried. They were your friend at first, even if they knew you were a mutated person, then what would happen? They'd stab you in the back. Skar naturally then started seeing people as just those that wanted to make fun of him or that sort of thing...so he dealt with it.
Yeah, he was just a little messed up in that head of his.
Skar looked over toward Mai, who seemed to be going back to looking at her missing pinky. Even he felt a little...bad for what he had done to her. He could see her looking between both of her hands and how one of them obviously was missing something. Remember she asked for it. She spat on you. You had to teach the cettira a lesson. He didn't even believe his own mind at this point. Maybe she hadn't deserved it...but...what exactly was he going to do? Well...he could regrow her a finger using the ship but he was pretty sure she wouldn't take it back.
After all, what do you say to a creature who can bite things off of you and then regrow them?
She'd sort of look like a portal food source that would never end.
Skar waited for an answer, his eyes leaving to not look at her anymore. She would need clothes wouldn't she? The...things she was wearing right now really weren't doing her very good justice. Not like he hadn't seen, or felt, anything that she had on her now of course. No her naughty bits and his appendages had gotten to know each other really well lately. Perhaps more than she wished for but...that's how things were. "Hm? A little bit. Not much on this ship to pass time though." He didn't even molest her in her sleep or try to have sex with her, and he was surprised at that because he no doubt could have. "Keep me company? Uh...yeah sure, alright then. How exactly are you going to do that though?" It wasn't a biting question, he really wanted to know, and he tried to sound as polite as possible when he asked, turning in his chair to face her. Golden eyes focused on her, his pupils opening up larger just a little bit, still not enough for her to really see them all that clearly.
"Tell me about yourself. About your planet. About your species. Maybe I'll be nice and tell you about myself." He turned away from her, facing ahead, starting the ship again and simply letting it flit about that side of the solar system, looking at the different planets that they could. He didn't much care for staring at the sun anymore, it was just another sun. Nothing special on that front.
-
Feeling a little awkward, Mai could only look away when he turned towards her. What could she do to keep him company? Mai bit her lip, let out a huff of breath and looked away, she couldn’t do anything short of babble about nothing, or look at him. Maybe she could start a staring contest. That’d be fun. He’d think she was making fun of him and lash a barbed tentacle at her face probably. She shuddered a little at the thought and pet the cheek that had the cut on it, the cut was gone, she looked down, at her torn and bloody top, blushing. This thing was done for. No way she was taking it off and attempting to make a new one with him right there though. She may be little more than a good pet, but she still had pride, and there was no way she was taking off her top in front of him. At least, unless he threatened her life unless she showed him her boobs.
Hopefully he wouldn’t do that. And if he did, hopefully no one else saw. Mai paused, who else was here to see? The Ship. Mai looked up and around, and behind her, suspicious of the ship. Did it have eyes? Was it breathing? Hey, Skar said she could get up and walk around, it could have been a big fat lie to get her to stand up so he could do mean things to her! Oh well, sitting on a chair made out of the living ship was kind of spooky, so Mai quickly stood up and moved behind it, leaning over the back to look down at the seat, she licked her lips and looked towards Skar. Well, she knew one way of keeping him company. “I’m keeping you company now, aren’t I?� A little polite smile and she looked around. Lightly running a hand down the side of the chair, curious about it.
Then Skar spoke again. What did he say? He wanted to know about her? Her species? And her planet? Mai could answer a few of those, but she didn’t know much about her planet. Tilting her head slightly and blinking, she used her right hand to draw little patterns on the back of her left before she spoke. “Me? Well… My full name is Maitrese, I have two older brothers, Ehtris and Drantris, they’re twins. Drantris got his arm bitten off by a beast while they were hunting with a group of royal guards, so I don’t mind missing a pinky.� She swallows lightly, trying to keep her voice from being shaky and afraid. While her brother got his arm bitten off by a vicious monster, her little wound came about because of the person she was talking to.
Mai decided she had a weird life. “I’m eighteen, at least, by our calendar, I don’t know how old I am anywhere else… Umm… I’m a Lucidius, we live in the desert, we have a counter part-species on my planet, the Atrum, and they live underground. We trade them fur and meat and they give us water. There’s no water on the surface of my planet, but plenty underground. They could let us dry out if they really wanted to, but they can’t stand sunlight. Um, I’m blind when I have no source of light to see by, but I have good hearing.� Mai knew she was babbling now, anything to keep him from eating another finger or doing something worse.
�There’s nothing much about my planet. There aren’t many settlements. We move every so often, but have to stay close to the Atrum so we don’t die of dehydration. But they hate us, and we hate them, because they’re diff…� Mai licked her lips and looked again. “Because they’re different.� She was lightly petting the chair she was leaning on, looking down at it, before looking towards Skar and offering her polite smile again.
�Your ship, is it living? I mean… A creature?� She looked around, a little weirded out about being in something living. Possibly she’d feel like the flesh of her pinkie if that still had feelings. Which she was glad it didn’t, because she was sure being digested kind of stung.
-
Really Skar was wondering what they could do to entertain each other that would be...well...appropr iate. For some reason at this time just having sex with her right now seemed like a bad idea. He wasn't sure why but it did. Must be tired or something. Also, she was looking at him funny. Staring at him. What was she trying to do? That's when she looked away and he decided to follow her gaze to her chest, to the ripped and torn top. Now it truly hid nothing, because he could see a lot of flesh and a few other things that just made hum chuckle. Maybe he should clothe his pet just a little better. Maybe. It all depended on just how well she was going to listen and be a good little apprentice. If she messed up, things would go into a whole new direction for them.
As usual.
It always seemed that happened didn't it?
Skar gave a tight lipped smile as he just pressed a few buttons on the console. "Yes, I suppose you are, aren't you?" At least he grasped this language well, he got the idioms, the slang, all the little words and big words. Most of them anyways. He had to act fast to get the language after all. "Maitrese...Hm." Well, at least she didn't hold a grudge about the whole finger biting thing. Of course, he was sure she was lying, and so he'd make sure not believe her on that sort of thing. Not yet...not until she really was his apprentice.
"Eighteen...Lucidius ...desert. No water. Trade with Atrum." Skarol repeated this all quietly, making sure that he would be able to remember it all of course. Of course something in he back of his head should have registered. Royal Guards. He should have heard that and registered it, but the words took no meaning to him. What was a Royal. It had to be important if they were guarded. He just ignored it though and continued to listen to her. Hm. He could turn off the lights in the ship and have a better advantage then...that was good to know. He'd say nothing of course and probably wouldn't ever have to use it but still...it was great to know he could easily take her when he wanted to. So he acted interested, but continued to look about the ship and hit a few buttons here and there.
Something she said sparked him though.
Dehydration. Shit.
"The ship? Well. It's hard to explain Mai. The ship is half biological and half technological. The ship is somewhat sentient...the ship and my mind are linked...I'm sort of the super computer for it...but yes...it is alive in a way. Not to the degree of you and me...but...it has feelings, it can get angry, it can be sad, sometimes it can be stubborn and it refuses to do things...and um." He sighed and crossed his arms, suddenly turning in the chair to look at her.
"You're going to need to eat and drink and well...I'm afraid I've only got a nutrient drink and Kaoli." There was this tone in his voice and look on his face that said 'You will eat it or you will starve' but he also seemed a little...disgruntle d by that. He wasn't sure if she would be able to eat Kaoli for that matter. Would she refuse? Would she starve herself?
Maybe he would have to make an exception for her...They could always go back to that one planet and get the beasts that she killed. He could cook up slabs for them and she'd probably be able to eat it without too much trouble. Well time would tell wouldn't it?
Maybe she'd get so hungry she'd eat Kaoli when he put a Kaoli steak in front of her.
-
((Not the best one I’ve spat out, but it was being difficult <_<))
If Mai knew the ideas that were running through his head. The darkness being her main form of downfall, and their lack of food. Those thoughts didn’t even float through her head, Mai was far from morbid and her brain didn’t even think of things like that. Sex. The first thought that came to Mais mind was ‘ew’, it didn’t sound to pleasant. She’s walked in on her brother accidently on more than one occation, Mai shuddered just remembering, it didn’t sound to fun, she couldn’t tell if they were grunting like that because it hurt, or because of how they were moving. Either way, it looked funny, sounded funny and mai just didn’t want to think of it anymore, afraid she was going to be sick to her stomach.
Though while Skar talked about his ship, Mai was more that interested. Smiling at him a little listening to him like he knew everything and she was just a student. The small smile that spread across her face when he told her his ship was stubborn was hidden by ducking her head down. That was interesting, he looked at her. Mai looked behind her incase she was blocking the view of something, nothing she could see, maybe he was looking at her? She quickly rearranged the rips of clothing and looked back at him, blinking owlishly. What was he …? And then he said it.
He had no food or water, save for some drink and that girl. Mai swallowed and slowly sat down, holding her hands together on her lap. Licking her lips, she didn’t want to eat someone else. She hung her head for a moment. “I… I’ll starve. I don’t want to eat another person. I’ll be fine for a few days.� The polite smile was given and Mai simply tiled her head a little, looking off to the side, her eyes hooded and sleepy looking. She couldn’t think of anything to do, there <I>was</I> nothing to do except talk to Skar. But what about?
�It’s your turn… You said you might tell me about yourself…� She looked up at him, her eyebrows up, questioning him on his statement. “ You did say that, right?�
-
((Aw is okay Draccy! *Snugglies*))
He just hoped that she'd be able to survive without food for a while. He had water of sorts, it was spiked with nutrients to give you a little boost of energy but it didn't give you the required nutrients that eating would. What would happen when he ran out of Kaoli though? Would he get hungry enough to want to kill Mai and eat her instead? Perhaps. He still had so much he wanted to do with her though...so much that he COULD do for that matter...it was best that he not push it though at this time. He wanted her, wanted to explore her and basically have sex with her but...for some reason he couldn't bring himself to it.
Usually all those nasty things he did were fuelled by rage and she was acting...
compliant really.
He just didn't feel angry at her anymore.
"You'll have to eat something Mai...it isn't that bad. I mean, you eat lesser creatures with no problem right? What's wrong with eating a sentient being then? If they were smarter they would have stayed alive, just like the lesser creatures." He didn't want her to starve, that would have been horrible after all. She'd complain no doubt and her stomach would growl and what not...He'd just have a whole bunch of trouble on his hands,a and he'd probably get annoyed quickly.
Erk! She...wanted him to talk about himself. Nervously he bit his lip. He did say he would...fine. Should he lie about it? Perhaps. "Alright. I was born quite far from this Galaxy. I was born on Viter 5, my parents weren't mutants but I was. They didn't really like me all that much, and when I was old enough I left. Good riddance to them. The whole damn planet was dying, that's why we mutated. The planet was losing the layer to protect itself from radiation, so it had to create us mutants so we could survive. Blasts of radiation to change development of the foetus and make it more resistant. I figure when it does collapse the mutants will walk around normally while the norms will die off." He spoke coldly, like he more or less wished all his planet would die off. "Never really had many friends, nor a place I could call home after I left. Don't need them. It's weak. Having to rely on others like that. I'm better off out here in space. People don't have to look at me much and I don't have to look at them. Only when I need something." He was a contradiction. He did need people, but he hated them, because he hated himself. He was a monster in most people's eyes...so he just lived up to that standard.
"I've been doing this song and dance ever since. Sometimes I've been captured, thrown into jail, but being psychic helps. Breaking wills and learning secrets. I never stay in one place long. Eventually we'll be out of here, I think I might want to visit Rigel or Vega again. Those were some good places."

((I'm writing this on one of the laptops at school, being uber sneaky, yo. Hahah I might not finish, and if I don't I'll finish after work today! 8 pm! <3 ))
A quiet sigh and her eyes closed slightly. He wouldn't understand at all, her not wanting to eat another creature. She was a carnivore because she had to be, not by choice, meat was the only thing available on her planet and she ate it because she had to. Mai bit her lower lip, nodding to him slightly. If she got hungry enough, she'd only eat enough of... Kaoli to survive and sustain herself. Clearing her throat, Mai looked away, wringing her hands and lowering her head, not wanting to look at him. She'd say something to anger him, and then he'd eat her.
Though, when he began to speak of himself she watched him. Sympathy and worry writen on her features. She felt her guy clench and she wanted to get him and give him a big hug. Though she refrained and simple listened with her head bowed, lowered, her eyes half closed. Though he bit off her finger and did enough things to her to give her nightmares, she felt bad for him. For the child that grew up rideculed, because of a mutation, one he couldn't even control. Biting her lip, she clenched her fists and glared down at her lap.
"You shouldn't listen to them. Why... Why would you think like that? You need people. Otherwise I'd never be here, you wouldn't be talking to me..." She'd get her tongue bitten off for this, for sure, being so forward and blunt. Mai would make him angry, but at least she'd plant the seed, and make him think, if he deceided to kill her. "I.. As long as you don't eat me. I can be your friend... I... I don't ..." Mai licked her lips, "I can't understand where you're coming from. But I don't think your a monster, you can be really nice... Really." She smiled a little. " A little scary, but, that's it. I don't mind you otherwise. Though, eating Kaoli will take some getting used to..."
She looked away for a quick moment, pushing hair out of her face and untangling any that got caught around her long pointed ears. Taking a deep breath Mai looked down. "Don't break me... I think.. I'd like to see the places you're talking about, too. I've only seen the places you've shown me." The polite smile was given when she looked up, and she looked off to the side, feeling a little foolish, and blushing a little.

((Naughty Draccy! x3))
He couldn't understand it because for all the years of his life, he ate people. He devoured meat because...it was what he needed. He never understood it but the flesh of sentient beings just tasted better. Sure he could eat things like...well normal beings and stuff, like simple animals, but there is the trouble that he just...likes to eat people. He feels better about it. Each bite of a person feels of pure relief, like a weight lifts off his shoulder and it's just alright. He feels a certain satisfaction, that eating them stops his insecurities and such.
He couldn't put it into exact words but...
He just knew it.
"What? They're right. I'm a freak. And I don't...I don't need you. You're just here to amuse. That's all anyone ever is and shall be." The worried wavering in his voice said otherwise actually. He wasn't sure of that. Every time he killed someone he...he went and got a new one. They weren't like pets because he cherished them a bit deeper for some reason...almost like...friends.
But he'd kill them...he always did that.
"H-how can you not think I'm a monster? I bit your finger off, I've made you kill things, I've practically felt up every inch of your body and I'd like to know the insides, both sexually and experimental." He was looking at her now, his eyes slightly narrowed. How could she think that he wasn't a monster?! This wasn't right at all! Skarol seethed silently, but...then something happened. Things changed. She said something...two things actually.
First was that she'd eat Kaoli...which he actually appreciated but...
It was that next thing.
"What? Y-y-you want to see...those places? I erm...I s-suppose that I could show you some of them...Kaoli did come with me to several galaxies after all so...I guess I wouldn't mind taking you to...Rigel." He take her Vorrin and show her the rise of the two suns and fall of the one moon at the same time. Lush jungle atmosphere, thinner oxygen content but still not that bad at all. He could...take her to show some of those places...he owed it to her.
Wait.
He owed it to her?
Since when...?
Ugh. Whatever.
-
Looking around, she took in her surroundings. A little leap of fear licked at her heart but she quickly swallowed it, looking down at the ground, before forcing herself to watch him. Not stare! Staring was rude, and would make him uncomfortable, just watch… Which was the same damn thing anyway though watching sounded nicer than staring. Mai blinked for a moment, and watched him, feeling a little heart-sick for the child he couldn’t be. A little odd from someone who’d just under-gone a fair bit of trauma, but Mai was an odd girl quick to forgive, and easy to forget. Convinced that everyone is good, somewhere deep inside, possibly around their guts, seems like she’d just have to willingly be nice to Mr. Skar for him to get weird and fidgety. She watched him through his first speech, smiling a little, sympathetically.
By the second one, and all those sex comments, she was blushing and looking away, a little shamed that he’d done those things to her. Mai didn’t like it, at least, she didn’t think she did, she didn’t really being touched at all. Nor if the tentacles and hands gave her tingly feelings, she had been far to concentrated on… Killing. Lowering her head a little and biting her lip, she’d blinked back tears. “You’re not a monster at all, I am… I killed all of them. I could have died instead, but…� Mai gave a small hiccup, quickly brushing away tears before they could roll down her cheeks, “ I killed them, to keep myself alive… I’m so selfish.� Holding her arms around her stomach, biting her lip. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to cry…� Backing up a little she looked at him worried, afraid he’d get mad for her crying.
Of course, the comment about showing her the galaxies quickly made her smile and her tears dry up. Mai stared at blinked at him, a smile growing on her face. She didn’t care if he was going to eat her the second she saw another planet, it would be far too amazing. To be able to see these things, in her life time. Mai smiled, and without really thinking about it, she moved over to Skar, and gave him a big hug. “Really? You’ll show me other planets? Thank you!� A big smile, and a big hug. Maybe Mai was bi-polar, or just really excitable.
-
She was acting a bit creepy Skar noted. She seemed to be watching him but...not like a predator or fearful prey but just...watching him. He wasn't sure what to make of it, but he was getting a little worried. She was changing, turning, at first she had been afraid, and now she seemed almost...normal again. Did she like it when he acted nice? Probably. It was much better than the breast groping, hip grinding, finger biting purple tentacled psychopath he usually played himself off to be. Maybe he should learn to be a bit nicer...
"I forced you to kill them Mai. Besides. It's not like I would have let them kill you." Maybe rough her up a bit here and there but he wouldn't have let them kill her. No she was much too special at this point. His eyes narrowed slightly as he noticed that she was crying...then slowly they became soft and he sighed. "It's alright Mai. You're allowed to cry."
Not like she didn't have a reason. After all she has been forced through, she should be allowed to cry just a bit here and there right?
He wasn't that big of a monster was he?
At least she brightened up at the thought of going to another Galaxy. he might as well take her there. It wouldn't be a way of saying sorry, but maybe they could start off in a different light. Maybe. He still had those ideas for her, perverted, deep, mean ideas, but they were pushed aside for the time being as she suddenly clamped around his body and he blinked, his arms raised in fear for a moment and his tentacles digging into his own skin. What the hell was she trying to-Oh. It was a hug. Not an attack. His tense muscles slowly relaxed and put a hand tentatively on her back. Ugh. Maybe she really was broken and he just didn't know it yet. "Yeah, it shouldn't be too much of a problem Mai." Maybe he could convince her to give him a little fun time...Oh that'd be nice. She could do a little 'polishing' for him and he could show her a new galaxy.
That almost sounded like a good idea really.
Maybe the first one would be free though...then if she wanted to see another she'd have to do him a little...'favour.' Oh that would be devilish, and rather fair right? After all, he was punching holes in the galaxy for her, he deserved to be compensated.
Later though.

((*Whines* it’s so short D8 ))
Mai didn’t know she made him all twitchy just because she gave him a little hug. She’d forgotten during those few seconds of willing contact that he was the reason she was stuck, that she was missing a finger. It also made her forget that she should be wary of him, just a little, not overly much, but just a little. The tentacles had barbs on them, unconsciously she brought a hand to rub at the cheek that had the cut on it. Mai held around him for a moment or two, unwilling to let go, despite the fact she should be far far away from him, the warmth of another person was comforting even if the other person was probably planning to eat her. Quickly as if burned, she pulled away and blushed, looking down and held her hands in front of her, clearing her throat slightly. “I’m sorry… I… I don’t know what came over me.�
Swallowing, and turning away she quickly took her seat and hunched over, her elbows on her knees and her head bowed slightly. Breathing heavily, she felt bile at the back of her throat, she didn’t need to get sick here of all places. He’d get mad again if she threw up… Not that she had anything to throw up, pressing her hands to her face she sighed and sat up again, leaning against the chair. “S..Skarol… Can we get fresh air soon?� Mais voice was small and pitiful, more like a grumpy little child than an angry young woman. “I think I’m going to be sick…� Closing her eyes, her head pressed against the chair, she pushed her hair off of her face and moved the long braid from her neck, concentrating on breathing and no moving too much.
Hopefully that jolt won’t make her choke up bile. That’d be gross.

((Oh you are not, you're a perfectly acceptable height for your age.))
Everything was going wrong. He was supposed to be the big bad guy, he was supposed to be the one that was feared! He wasn't supposed to get hugs and thanks you and things like that. Yet she was hugging him! She was hugging him and she didn't even seem to mind for that matter! What was wrong with this picture? Well, she wasn't letting go for that matter, and she was HUGGING him. This wasn't supposed to even happen, not willingly, not until he had broken her spirits and forced her to hug him and do things of that nature. He had never been hugged willingly, at least, not after he had shown what and who he really was. Yet she didn't care. She just hugged him.
That was until she suddenly pulled away from him.
"Yeah...don't worry about it."
Skarol went back to his seat, quickly sitting down. This was just...this was just too weird. "Huh? Oh...yeah." He set the co-ordinates for Rigel. Now sure, Rigel was technically a star and in the milky way, but it also was a planet in the Phoenix Galaxy. Of course, his people had called it Riischel, but it could have easily been called Rigel by the people of the Milky Way Galaxy. He just found it easier to call it Rigel. The ship gave a heavy rumbling and tossing as it punched the hole through space itself, allowing the ship to exit near the planet of Riischel. Just in orbit really.
"We're here Mai. Just..." He didn't finish his sentence though, he couldn't for that matter. This was too weird. Did...did he care for her? Did he care that she might vomit or be sick? No. Couldn't be. He just didn't want his ship...oh his ship couldn't get dirty.
This was all wrong.
The ship began its descent, passing through the atmosphere and slowly landing on the surface. The cabin depressurized and the doors opened, the ramp sliding out and hitting the soft dirt below. Skarol was the first one outside, his shirt tugged on and his cloak pulled overtop of him. No weapon this time. No need. Most of the things here were small insects and flatworms. It hadn't evolved much. Outside was...strange to say the least. It was thick jungle behind them, and clear sky in front of them. He'd landed on a particular cliff he had been fond of, one that allowed you to see the setting of the suns and the rising of the moon. Right now you could barely make out the two burning suns, each of them giving off light and heat to warm the planet's surface. Mai would probably notice she would feel a bit lighter here, as the gravity wasn't proper here. The planet was a bit smaller than most that allowed for life to sustain and grow.
"Riischel. Beautiful planet. It's gonna be about fifteen minutes till the light is completely gone and the moon is out...but just you wait. It's a picture that you can't afford to miss." Skar slowly lowered himself down onto a fallen log, clearing away a bit of lichens before he sat down, just...looking ahead. He came here from time to time, it helped him to think.
It helped him to put things in perspective, as the view would be...
Awe inspiring.
-
Within the few minutes of sitting Mai was lulled off into a partial state of sleep. Her eyes were open but hooded as if she was just very sleepy. The black eyelid was half closed, giving her eyes an eerie look. The rumbles and jolts from the ship didn’t rouse her, and only when he spoke, a few simple words did her brain allow her to wake and look over at him. It took a few moments for her to sit up and unbuckled, and another few to actually stand. In her tattered clothing, which she didn’t pay much mind too, the fact that Skar has felt and probably seen everything already forgotten, Mai just didn’t really care at the moment.
Slowly and carefully leaving the ship, Mai took small tentative steps once she got onto the ground of the planet. The black eyelids sliding into place, giving her the odd feral eerie look again. In the bright sunlight, she looked rather sickly, a little sweaty, a little tired looking, and her movements were sluggish even though the planet had less gravity. Holding her left hand to her chest, she stumbled along behind Skar. Watching him, feeling a little weird, no tentacles, no gun being pushed into her hand. Tilting her head a little, she stood and watched him while he sat, speaking.
For a moment, her covered eyes looked at the suns. If she could move her eats she’d have twitched them, moving a hand up to ears, making sure they weren’t covered in anything. Finally, once she was done preening she moved towards him and sat. Still feeling a little ill, she leaned against him and watched the sun slowly go down. “You’re… Not going to make me kill anything here?� Biting her lip slightly for a moment, she stared straight ahead, her head leaning towards his slightly and her shoulder pressed against him. The body warmth he gave off was making her feel a little better, and the slowly dying heat of the two suns was helping a little as well.
Licking her lips, she sighed softly and moved to sit on the ground and lean against the log. Her head bowed slightly, though still on the horizon, back pressed against the log. She’d seen plenty of sunsets, of course, more often than not she was half blind once the light went away, anything short of a bright light, and Mai couldn’t see. Her pupils didn’t expand and contract with different light sources, sure she’d be able to see a tiny bit with the moon out, but not enough.
As an extra precaution, Mai lifted her hand up, her left hand, which was the one without the pinky and grasped one of his. She’d need it once the suns went down, and the warmth against her hand felt nice. “I’m sorrypenis But please don’t let go.� A light squeeze of her hand to his and she simply stared at the horizon, waiting for this pretty picture to paint itself.
-
Skar noted that Mai was pretty much dead to the world at this time. Maybe she really was feeling sick to her stomach for some reason. He wasn't going to question it though. He decided he would bepenisnice to her, as nice as he could be. She would no doubt find a way to anger him butpenisthings would be alright. She took a while to follow him outside, and when he did he almost feltpenisbad for some reason. She looked a little ill. Sweaty, sick, tried, he really couldn't blame her either. A few hours ago, she knew freedom, now she had killed people, been molested frequently, and found herself missing her pinky finger. Oh and she had been kidnapped by a sociopath loner who also craved company at the same time.
Yeah, things were going great for her weren't they?
Skar shook his head at her question. "No. No death here Mai. That doesn't happen on Riischel. Not while I'm here." He didn't make things kill on this planet. It waspenistoo beautiful, it asked for too much respect for that matter. The view, the planet, all of it. This was a place to relax, this was a place that you would not die, you would not kill, you would just watch the most beautiful celestial picture at this time. She leaned heavy against him, and he let her, he couldn't force himself to push her away. She wantedpenisto be near him for some reason so...
Then she was gone.
She had moved off the log to sit on the ground instead. Then a hand gripped his, and instantly he knew that it was Mai's left hand, because it was missing a pinky after all. "I uhyouwon't let go Mai." This was just oddguysit seemed like they were almost friends of sorts. Not that he minded of course for some reason it felt nice not to have the pressure of anything. Just two people. Slowly Skar moved down from the log to sit beside her, his hand still gripping hers. Why was she so afraid? In the back of his mind he knew it was because of the dark, she would be blind. Would she get the full effect? Hewanthoped that she would be able to. No one should be robbed of this.
And that's when the sun's light finally disappeared from the sky. Or at least, they almost disappeared. A strange new light was filling the sky, ones of cerulean blue, aqua green, and a strange swirling light violet colour. Celestial lights, and they seemed to cloud in front of the moon which was a very bright white. Two suns after all helped to cause great reflection on the moon. There it wastoseethe picture he wanted her to see. Well not ALL of it but soon. "Just keep watching Mai. It's going to get a lot better." The celestial lights were slowly dying, and that's when the sky lit up with stars.
Not just stars though. They could see galaxies, nebulas of all different colours in the sky, even a large streak of red and yellow from a star that went super nova. It wasmai'smagnificent for Skar. There were very few places that allowed you to see Galaxies and nebulas, all from the comfort of a planet none the less. And he had someone to share it with tooboob?he had Mai here to enjoy it, or he hoped she could enjoy it.
-
Tilting her head as she watched the sun sink, biting her lip slightly her hand tightened. Mais breath quickened when the suns finally went down, and she pressed her entire side against Skar, realizing that he’d moved off the log and was sitting beside her. The second the sun had gone down, it was completely black. Mai hated the dark and whimpered slightly, before remembering her eye still had its protective eyelid closed, opening that, it got a tiny bit brighter. A sigh of relive and but she didn’t move away, she simply tilted her head up. Looking up, Mai was a little disappointed she couldn’t see all the pretty things that were supposed to be there. Well, she could see them, but they were dim, probably far less wonderous than what Skar was seeing.
Feeling a ltitle guilty because her vision refused to let her see the things he wanted her to, she pressed a little closer, putting their hands onto her lap. Tilting her head slightly, towards him, she whispered, feeling like a loud voice would break the dim, yet pretty stars she could see. “I see it, but only hazy colours. I’m sorry my vision isn’t good enough to see all the stars…� Though she looked away, her eyes were still on the stars, slightly amazed that even though it was dark, she could see them. Taking a deep breath, she cleared her throat and shivered slightly, with the suns gone and the day night, the heat went away. Slowly her bodies tempurature rose, to keep her warm, she didn’t notice how warm she got, just that she got less cold.
Skar would notice, Mai was far beyond normal body tempuratre, almost to the point of feeling like she had an entire body fever. Which means that if she had a real fever, it would be hot enough to possibly mildly burn a wayward finger if one was to touch her. Luckily, though she felt ill, Mai had no fever, was a little sleepy, still felt a little sick to her stomach, but was not sick beyond that. Moving her right hand, she placed it over her other on in her lap. Trapping Skars hand between her own, lightly petting the back of his hand, tilting her head to the side at the odd feeling of it. Looking up straight ahead like a blind person, her hand slowly beginning to pet up his arm before she realized what she was doing.
“I’m sorry. It’s… Your skin…� Tentively, gently and slowly, she rose her hand and lightly dragged the knuckle of her index finger over his cheek. “It feels… Different.� A little smile, the polite smile she wore far too often, and she put her hand back in her lap, the thumb of her left hand petting over Skars hand. “Skar… I can’t see around me… Just the sky… So don’t let me fall off the cliff, okay?� A teasing lilt in her voice when she spoke about the cliff, but, Mai was dead serious, she couldn’t see a damn thing but the sky.
-
Skar was really pleased that Mai actually wanted to be beside him at this time. He wasn't sure if he wanted to, he could so many things to her. Overpower her, take her, and be done with it. Those thoughts ringed in his mind for only a second before they left. No. Be nice. That's all you had to do Skar. Just be nice. You didn't need to kill her, hurt her, or rape her. All you needed to do was just...be nice. As nice as he could be without getting angry at her or himself...He didn't know why but just...there was something about the whole thing that angered him. Sure he was nice to her and all...but it just felt wrong and different. Not a bad different perhaps but...
Ugh.
His eyes looked downward to her lap where his hand suddenly resided. Alright then. He went back to looking at the sky, at all the stars and such...Still she was pressed up against him and he smiled slightly. It was...kinda nice actually. Having her close to him like this...she was warm, it was really good. "It's alright Mai. Just...relax and try to enjoy yourself." This was a reprieve from the life he was forcing her to lead and such. Forcing her to enter and be a part of this crazed and psychotic life.
Slowly Skar removed his cloak and then suddenly wrapped it around her. She'd find that it would help to keep her heat locked in like a sauna of sorts.
Wait.
Why did he just do that?
He...he couldn't be sure why for that matter. It just...it was...it just seemed like the right thing to do after all. What was going on with him anyway? This wasn't normal. This really just wasn't how it should be...This was just-what the hell was touching him so much?
He looked to his hand, which was being pet slowly by her other hand. Then she started to pet his arm and he just got...a whole lot more confused. What was she doing? Not that he minded of course it felt...nice. Just as he seemed to really realize it, she seemed to realize the same thing as well. "I don't mind it felt...kind of nice." Skar said simply as she ran her knuckle over his skin. "It's...just purple. Though...my skin is a little...rougher than most. I absorb liquids through my skin so..." He was just going to leave that out there for the time being. "Well, the cliff is a little bit away from us but...I promise I won't let you fall off it. Though what about running into trees? Is that okay?" His voice had the same sort of joking tone to it, a bit of mirth but he was just as serious as she was. That's when he suddenly did something.
He moved her to sit between his legs, his arms about her waist and pressed up against her. "I need you to be like this...if I get...too cold I'll hibernate and well...we really can't have that. So you're going to be my heater alright?"
-
Closing her eyes for a moment she left Skars voice wash over her. Relax and enjoy herself, she could do that. But enjoying herself had nothing to do with the lovely sky and more with seeing the backs of her eyelids. She was so tired, so drained, and so simply soul empty that sleep was so nice, almost a distant thing she could see but not grasp. Though, the feeling of something being put around her shoulders made her jump slightly and look over at Skar, it… It was his cloak. Mai looked over at him and smiled slightly, wrapping it around herself quickly before realizing she was doing all those things to him.
Petting his hand, his arm, his cheek. She listened to him speak about his skin, and she leaned back lightly and tried to look down at his hand. Mai could feel it but not see it, oh well, tomorrow. That’s when he asked her if running into trees was okay. Mai paused and laughed lightly, sitting up straighter and pulling the cloak closer. “Trees would hurt to run into as much as hitting the bottom of the cliff.� Her eyes closed slightly again and she let her head drop back, a sharp startled gasp left her mouth when Skar moved her to rest between his legs, and pulled at her around the waist. Blinking a few times she quickly stood up, pulled the cloak off and draped it around Skar, before grabbing the edges and pulling them over herself as she sat back down.
�I don’t mind keeping you warm.� Mai said plainly as she snuggled against his chest, her body off to one side of him and her legs draped over his lap. Looking up for a moment, catching short glimpses of the bright sky, she sighed slightly and moved closer, resting her head on his chest. Dark brown eyes closed after a few moments, though she wasn’t asleep, though her body screamed at her to do so. “Skar… I’m so tired…� Snuggling closer, her ears probably brushing his face, accidentally of course. “Could I take a nap?� A soft sigh and she curled up so she was practically on his lap, “Just a little one… Please?�
-
This wasn't him at all. Something was just...different. Wrong perhaps? No. Wrong meant that he didn't enjoy it. Well. He sort of didn't enjoy it...it was honestly hard to say if he liked or hated it at this point. It was nice It was bad. It was both actually.
Was that even possible?
To like and hate something at the exact same time. Probably was but really...there was no time to think. Just time to be. That's all. Exist. With Mai here. Damn it. Why did she do this to him? No many people managed to do this...actually he could only remember maybe one or two people who had done this sort of thing to him, and he...well he snapped with them. He'd snap again if history liked to repeat itself no doubt. Mai was just...Mai. She was innocent, adorable, she looked like she would be a good pet instead of a good apprentice, but there in lay the trap. People wouldn't view her as a threat, instead they would pity her. That's when she could strike. Heh. Like a Grassrazor. Deadly little suckers.
"Are you sure about that? I've ran into trees a few times, and I've also actually fallen off a cliff. Broke both my legs, one of my ribs punctured my spleen..." He left it hanging there and then coughed quietly. He blinked a few times though as she suddenly stood up, wondering if she was going to run or move away from him. Then of course she surprised him and wrapped the large cloak around the both of them and then sat back down on him, almost cuddling right up to him. This was actually...nice. She felt...she felt so warm and cozy.
Why...was this so nice?
"Thanks...it'll help me for sure." Why would she...why would she willingly do this? After he had been so mean to her and now she was being...she wanted to snuggle up to him and keep him warm. He gave a small smirk as he brushed her ears out of his face. Blah! Where the hell did those come from?! Oh right. Her ears.
"Yeah...go ahead Mai. Sleep for as long as you want." Skar told her quietly, his arms wrapped about her and his chin resting on the top of her head lightly. This was...interesting to say the least. She worried him but at the same time...she was just so warm. It was great. A personal heater just for him...glorious.
Skar didn't know it but he was humming. It was an old song his mother used to sing when he was little, he couldn't really remember the words but...he remembered how it sounded. Soft, gentle, soothing. He really didn't even know he was humming, he was more or less staring at the sky instead, focused on the different nebulas and galaxies you could see from their spot.
-
((It's short >_<))
Listening haphazardly to Skar talk about falling off a cliff made her eyes snap open and stare into the black abyss in front of her. Mai could feel his warm chest beneath her cheek, so, she obviously wasn’t in an endless dark abyss. And if she was, the Skar was suffering with her. In the darkness, Mai tried not to imagine broken legs and ribs poking out of skin. Shivering, she snuggled closer to the warm body, closing her eyes again. Biting her lip, taking deep breaths, Mai slowly fell asleep to the humming coming from somewhere above her. It was soothing, but unfortunately her dreams were not. They were recaps of her day, for a moment a flash of pain grew up her arm and she cried out, aloud of course. Gripping whatever was under her fingers, Mais face contorted and she watched what happened that day from a different point of view. She could see her face, she could see Skars hands and tentacles all over her. Closing her eyes for a moment, she could oddly still hear humming, the soothing tune aligned with the disturbing images frightened her and she quickly struggled to wake up. Upon waking up, she realized that it was still dark out, and her heart was beating faster.
She realized she was snuggled up against a monster. He made her kill things. Quickly as if breaking from a trance, Mai stood up and, remembering they were against a log, and that behind it was forest, she quickly hopped over it. Closing her eyes and using her ears to guide her. Biting her lips to keep herself quiet and going through the forest as a slower than run pace, her arms out in front of her to keep her from going head first into a tree.
A quiet sob left her lips, she kept going, slowly, because she was completely blind. Calling out would be useless. By now, Mai was sobbing helplessly, acting like a rabbit and scurrying away from the danger. Trying to quiet her breathing, because she was far to afraid to think that maybe, just maybe, Skar could see her.
He’d catch her. She was wearing white, the moon was bright, and she was breathing and sobbing. Quickly, Mai crouched down and hid behind a tree, her hands over her ears and her head tucked between her knees, getting ready to say sorry and that she didn’t mean to run away. She was having a bad dream, and she was scared.

(Pffft, it's fantastic!))
In the back of his mind, Skar wondered if Mai was actually listening to him, or if she was dozing off for that matter. She seemed to want to move closer to him though, snuggle up to him as close as she could and just be with him. It was a nice thought for that matter. That's when she fell asleep, and he could peek at what her subconscious mind was going to say now. It wasn't good at all. He could see things, and he ignored the fact she was trying to rip into his skin almost, or in the very least grip his skin painfully. He wanted to more or less see her dreams however. There were things there, things like...her killing people, creatures, him biting her finger off, that sort of thing. Oh he knew it well.
After all he had been there.
It had been...a strange time.
Suddenly she was gone though, standing up and skirting off over the log to escape. Wordlessly he got up and wrapped the cloak about him, tying it properly and then heading after her. She might have been blind but he could see everything perfectly. He followed after her as she tried to run, crying loudly and trying to find a place to hide. When she finally hid he just stood in front of her, his eyes hard as he glared at her.
"We're going now." He reached down and grabbed her arm tight and started to drag her back toward the ship. He wasn't even good about it either, he dragged her past trees and what not, hosting her over a log and such before he got back into the ship with her. The ramp came up and the doors closed behind him, just as he flung her into her chair. "Stay in that chair, even if you have to vomit." Everything was ruined now because of her.
"I know exactly why you ran, so you don't have to say anything. I'm a monster." He growled out, his hands touching a few things on the dashboard before the ship began to take off. Well. That was that ruined. Now what?
He wanted to hurt her again but...at the same time he didn't. Feh. Maybe he should. Just show her who was boss and take another finger. No...no maybe he shouldn't...he could but...he didn't feel like. Feh. He'll...he'll figure it out later.
-
((XD Sorry again!!))
Breath came in short gasps. She could hear him come up behind her and she quickly let her head drop back, letting out a gasping noise. More of a shreek really when he clamped a hand around her arm, pulling her up. Words were at her lips, but they only slurred together. Of course she struggled to get away from him, making his grip hurt more on her arm, small cries leaving her lips. Why was he being so mean? Couldn't he hear her? She was saying she was sorry. She didn't mean to run away.
Another gasping cry as she got hit in the face with a branch snapping back after Skar walked past it. Wincing, keeping an eye closed as her cheek stung. Soft breaths now, with the odd cry of pain as she smashed her legs into things. She could feel the scratches seeping blood, feel it turn into little red beads and drip down her skin. Licking her lips, trying to quiet down her breathing, she gave a startled squeek when she got thrown into the ship. The breath getting knocked out of her for a few moments, closing her eyes she sat simply. Guilt climbed up her torso to rest in her chest, heavy on her lungs. Biting her bottom lip she watched Skar go about hitting buttons. Quickly she got up and wrapped her arms around his chest.
"Skarol! I didn't mean to run away! I was having a nightmare, you're not a monster! Please... I'm sorry." Pressing her cut up face to his chest and closing her eyes. Repeating her appology over and over again, she didn't let go, wouldn't let go, unless he pushed her away again.
-
((Baaaaaah! Stop apologizing or I'll throw peanuts at you.))
She was lucky to say the least.
He had thought about dragging her back to the ship by her neck and a few tentacles. Lucky for her he found himself and he decided to just grab her arm and drag her to the ship. She was struggling and trying to get away but he held her firm. There was no way he was going to just let her get away after all. The sounds of her screaming apologies didn't matter to him right now. She was just...she had tried to run.
She sure did seem to get a lot of injuries didn't she? Hit in the face with branches, smashing her legs into things, that sort of thing. It was rather...interestin g to say the least. The smell of blood was in the air, not thick but it was still there. Feh. She deserved it. AT least she was listening to him, just sitting there. She seemed a little dazed but he could care less at this point. Hell, she could have a stick poking through her stomach and he wouldn't care. Well. He might....after all she would need to be healed...
That's when something suddenly happened.
She was wrapped about him and he growled loudly at her. "Mai..." His voice was deadly calm as he suddenly stood up slowly and pushed her back to her chair carefully, sitting her down. "Sit. Don't talk. Don't get up. Just sit." Then he went back to his chair and slipped the gloves on. Maybe he really was angry at her, maybe he wasn't. Who knows. However right now he was more or less focused on just finding a place to fly to.
He might as well take her to somewhere that she would be able to see, instead of a place that had a good night sky.
"A nightmare. Sure. You forget I'm a psychic Mai. I know what happened. You dreamt of the things I made you do, of biting your finger off, of killing people, molesting you. You were disgusted so you ran away." That was always how it was. Ugh. She wasn't any different now was she? Of course not. She was just like everyone else. Well. He could deal with that. Oh yes...
-
The only thing Mai really wanted to do at the moment was smack Skar across the head with something blunt, hard and shiny. But then she’d be stuck here and blind. She let out a small gasp when he pushed her into the chair again and ordered her not to speak or move, a feral growl rose up her throat at him and she glared. After all the crap he’s put her through, after all she was willing to look past, he can’t get over one little rabbit maneuver and forgive her for freaking out in the dark.
Skar was an asshat.
Simple as that. So, to piss him off, Mai stood up and quickly skirted behind the chairs side. Glaring at him, or where she thought he was, with the chair between them. “You can’t tell me what to do.� Though her voice was loud, there was a slight waver in it. Stupid dense males. Mais heart was pounding and she quickly regretted talking back, he had spiking wiggly limbs, while she didn’t, and he was bigger, and stronger… And she couldn’t run away from him in here. Well, she could, but that would be in a circle and rather futile because no matter what direction she went in, he’d be able to catch her. “I didn’t run away because of that. It was dark, I couldn’t see you, and I had just dreamt that. Poor you, give it up. I don’t hate you, at least I won’t if you don’t threaten me.� Ooo, a threat.
Not a very big one, but Mae would hate him. At least pretend to.
Mai was good at pretending to hate people. Never has she ever really hated anyone truthfully, many people are close to it, but she always managed to find something in them to like, at least a little. In the darkness she could picture him, a young man, probably a little pouty because in the darkness she couldn’t see it. Her eyes opened and closed slightly, trying to see if that would make her able to see. No luck, still as blind as a bat, so, she simply closed her eyes and held onto the chair, hoping her acute hearing would save her butt incase Skar decided to be sneaky and grab her from behind.
�I said sorry. Just accept it, I didn’t mean to run away…� Swallowing, feeling a little guilty for running away, she let her head sink to her chest and stood there like a little child who’d be scolded. She was stuck, Mai decided, she could play by his rules, or make her life hell.
But, she was always one for a challenge, as long as he didn’t bite off anymore fingers, she’d be able to play with him, too.
-
There was no doubt a mutual feeling to smack people around at this point. Just, with Skar, there was a good chance that he actually would, and probably enjoy it for that matter. The growling was returned when she glared at him, his own eyes falling into a glare at her as he sank to his chair. Stupid...stupid Mai. Things were going so well, and then suddenly it's back to him being the big evil predator that was going to eat her. To think he was actually going to...going to take her places and see things she would never see without him.
Foolish was the Viteran Mutant who believed he could have friends, wasn't that the old saying?
Skar's teeth bared themselves in the low light, shining like death as he stood up to match her. He told her to sit. She didn't listen. Could be a mistake for her. "I can tell you what to do, what to say, where to go. You are MINE. There is NO getting away from me, no getting away from this ship." She had barely any room to run from him on this ship, so he would end up catching her, or trapping her against a wall for that matter. She might be able to run faster than him for a while, but it was a small ship, she couldn't really go anywhere. "Oh sure you didn't. I don't believe you. You saw me in a nightmare as what I am and it sickened you." He glared at her harder for saying that poor you line, like it was false pity or something along those lines.
She was just asking for a lot of painful trouble wasn't she?
What was stopping him from moving though? At any time he could overtake her, overpower her, bring her down to the ground and simply...do whatever he wanted. For some reason though, he didn't. Though, he did notice she was having trouble seeing. That was a benefit. He had yet to set the ambient lightning in the room, but he could see and that was all that mattered. "Right. Sure you didn't." He growled out as he sat back down in his chair. He didn't believe her, but he really...really didn't care to argue about this anymore.
The gloves and helmet were pulled back onto his body, and Mai would notice that an ambient light source was glowing, lighting the ship's interior back up. "Say I believe you. Say it really was just because it was a dream and you got scared in the dark..." He wasn't sure how to put this anymore, how he should say it exactly. There were so many words and...he wasn't sure he wanted to say any of them.
"Would you...would you sit with me again? Maybe in a brighter place?" To say the least, he had been intrigued by...that. Just sitting there with her, no need to think violent thoughts. Just to have her...be nice and to be nice to her in return. It was something strange, but it wasn't unwanted for that matter.
-
Hmph. Quietly and like a scolded little girl, she grumpily sat in her chair and glared away from Skar. Listening to him but not acknowledging him, let him stew and worried about her being mad at him before she answered. The jerk. It was all about him and his feelings. It wasn’t like he gave a rats ass what she wanted, right now, she wanted to curl up in a bed and go to sleep, but she couldn’t ask him for that because he would take it the wrong way and probably want to do that coupling thing. Sex? Fornication? She wasn’t quite sure what the right name for it was, either way, from what she heard it wasn’t fun, and it was sticky, and painful and just gross. No thank you!
And besides, he had tentacles. With owwie barbs in them. Raising her left hand, the one with the gauze on it, and the missing pinky, she lightly stroked her cheek where the cut was, where it bled onto her top. She quickly looked down at herself, barely noticing that the lights were back on, to concentrated on her soiled clothing. Spatters of blood were everywhere, mostly on her top, which was just barely covering them. Blushing and hunching over, even though she knew that he had already seen everything she could possibly want to show him while being alive and breathing. Even though she knew it was useless to act shy and innocent here, in a ship, alone with a guy who ate a finger and felt her up more in a day than she had been in her entire life.
Clearing her throat and pressing down on the fabric between her legs, and holding the fabric to her chest, knowing that in his eyes he saw her less than half-clothed. She closed her eyes slightly when he spoke again, her dark eyes looking at him slyly, secretively. As if she didn’t want him knowing that she didn’t really want him to hate her, and that she really did like him still, despite all the evil things he’s done. Kind of like a hissing little kitten, it was only so violent because it was afraid. Maybe Skar really was a little like that, only a little kitten was out of the question. He was a giant feral cat that needed to be handled carefully, gently… Lovingly. Closing her eyes slightly, she smiled a little.
�Of course I’d sit with you again. I’m very tired, so it might be mostly you doing the sitting while I do the…� Mai paused to yawn widely, turning her head away from him so he didn’t have to see her with her mouth gaping open, though she knew he’d probably like that, he was a guy after all. And he was skar.� While I do the napping…�
Quickly turning back but then quickly looking away. “I hope you don’t mind… if I… sleep.� Nervously licking her lips she looked down, her hands neatly folded in her lap and her head down slightly, ankles crossed. Still a polite girl, Mai still looked like she had gotten into trouble. A little cute looking, if one was to see her from afar.
-
Maybe he did care if she was angry at him, but that was only because he was sure she wouldn't be cooperative anymore. She had done so well over the day, doing just what he asked her to do, and yet now he was worried she might rebel just a little bit. It was a wonder why she had decided to all of those things so quick. Maybe she was humouring him? Maybe...maybe she really actually had been a plant of some sort. Oh...that could be it. She was planted by some policing force to trap him.
...Nah. Her mind wasn't like that it. It was too...pure. Still. His eyes watched her as she tried to cover herself, smirking just a little bit. He could entertain himself for hours with that body of hers but...he didn't feel like. That was odd, usually he wanted them to get used to the forced sex right away, but now...he just didn't have the heart. Ugh. Maybe he was coming down with something. He felt fine but...nrgh, it was probably best not to think about it at this point. Life was just getting stranger and stranger at this point.
He didn't hate it though.
He tried to get into her mind once more, to find out her thoughts but...he just felt tired of doing that. He would...he was tired wasn't he? He had to sleep soon...all this running around and piloting the ship must have taken more out of him than he thought. Mai always seemed exhausted for that matter...maybe they just both needed a good rest. However...the biggest question was how to sleep without endangering himself in the process? She would no doubt take the first opening she could to place something sharp and deadly in his neck or heart.
"Well...that's....nice to know." Slowly He nodded as he stood up, stretching. "I think...I think I want to sleep as well. Come on." He moved to the rear of the ship and stood there for a moment, holding his hand out over the floor. Slowly something began to build itself up. It was a bed. Big enough for one person. The small wardrobe at the top of the ship opened up and he scaled the wall to it. He retrieved a comforter and two sheets. Jumping down he fixed the bed up, making sure that she didn't have to sleep on the strange flesh of the bed itself, but on the gentle lavender bedspread. This is where he usually slept...oh...pillow s. He got two of them from the wardrobe, they were small, but they served their purposes. "Here Mai...you can sleep here." He ushered her to the bed, before sitting back in his captains chair.
Between there was suddenly a divider, large bars that came from the ground, stopping Mai from being able to get into the cockpit, keeping her in the area with her bed. "I..." He faltered. He didn't have to explain anything to her did he? No! The lighting slowly dimmed and the viewscreen got covered up. There was little ambient light now, just enough that Mai would be able to see, but she would also be able to sleep. He didn't care either way. He just pulled his cloak over him and reclined the captains chair a little bit. Ugh. Sleeping. There were always...nightmares, his mind trying to make sense of everything, and with the psychic node, who knows what might happen. He might reach out into Mai's brain and get her nightmares as well.
Still, it would be odd for him to be running from himself...and seeing himself bite his finger off. Ugh. That would be a trip.
"Goodnight Mai."
-
Mai followed Skar around like a baby duckling after its mother. She was quiet, her hands were politely pressed in front of her body, in a said attempt to keep her clothes together, and she simply watched him with her dark eyes. They were following him more than her head was. Of course, upon seeing the soon-to-be bed, her heart plummeted and she swallowed and took a few steps back. This was hardly the time or the… place? Location? For bedroom games, and here he was, making up a bed and telling her she could sleep there… what? He was giving her his bed…? Where would he sleep?
�Where will you sleep…?� Her voice was quiet, probably unheard because Skar didn’t answer her and only pushed her lightly towards the lavender bed. A sad smile appeared on her face and she quickly turned around to watch him retreat to the chairs. Blinking and gasping at the bars that rose up between them, she simply watched, her face worried slightly before going and sitting on the bed, looking up past the bars at Skar occasionally. Licking her lips, she heard him say goodnight… Was it even night? Either way, she knew she was tired, and she managed a ‘Sweet dreams,’ back to Skar before she curled up, cradling her left hand and quickly falling asleep.
Now, Mais dreams were far from nightmares, technically. In most cases it could probably be labeled soft-core porn, from which she woke up from before it could really end. Sitting up, blushing and looking around, making sure nothing really fell out of clothing, and if it did, she fixed it up. Looking around, she heard heavy breathing and was horrified to figure out it came from herself, Mai quickly clamped her hand over her mouth and curled up under the blankets again. Pulling the sheet up over her head in a sad attempt to keep the kinky dreams at bay.
They wouldn’t really go away, and she kept waking up. Occasionally she’d glare in Skars general direction, mostly because he was the star of all those weird and uncharacteristic kinky dreams. Mai would mutter something about males and try to sleep again. She did the dream fest and woke up four times before she gave up and decided she didn’t want to sleep anymore. Sitting up, grumpy and irritated, she sat cross legged with her arms around her chest, glaring at the semi-darkness.
�Skaaaar, Wake up. I don’t know what time it is…�
Oh yes, good excuse.
-
Why was she always trying to cover herself up like that?
All that she had hiding under the scraps of her clothes he knew, he had felt, pretty much tasted them, there was no point in trying to hide them. There were times when she seemed bold enough to not care that her breasts might be exposed, and then other times when she became...pure and cared about what he saw. He would never understand, he couldn't understand, it was a world that was beyond him at this point. She seemed worried, scared as he made up the bed, great, now was she afraid of sleeping? Ugh. Like he was planning on doing anything to her. Not yet. He wanted to wait. It would be...special for them for sure.
He said nothing to her as he moved her closer to the bed so he could get to his location before he raised the bars to separate them. He didn't need to answer her, she just needed to know that they would be separated. Unless he got really horny and decided to take matters into her hands. Heh.
Though, she was going to sleep, and he was too. Though his sleep was restless, plagued with visions and strange sights. He woke up frequently, turning over and muttering about strange sights. His brain couldn't really process what he was seeing...because what he had been seeing was himself. It was strange really, how could he be seeing himself like this? Unless he was seeing through...someone.. .else's eyes? It would explain some of the strange things...like he was being Mai. Huh. He was good though. Heh heh. Still, he tried to keep them away from him, he didn't feel much like looking into Mai's pervy dreams.
Once asleep again though, he was asleep for good. It had been a quick meditation for him that helped to clear his psychic powers from invading Mai's mind. Instead he was just focusing on himself, on his own mind. It was like a strange mental loop but it worked for him, because he didn't have any dreams after that.
Of course, until suddenly there was something prodding at him so to speak. It was a voice.
Groggily he pulled himself from sleep, trying to figure out who it had been. Oh! It was Mai! "Time? There's no meaning of time in space Mai. Time is used on planets for showing the rotation of the planet and the sun itself." He gave a tired yawn as he rubbed the back of his neck, peeling the cloak off of him and folded it onto his lap. "I have something like fifty three planets programmed into my ship's computer." The bars slowly retreated as he turned to look at her. "Y'know...I had the weirdest dreams. I was in them, but I wasn't me...I was someone else. I think...well...I'm almost completely sure I was picking up on your dreams but..." He gave another yawn as he suddenly pulled his cloak back onto him, still rather tired.
"I can't really remember what happened in 'em." That was actually kinda true. He could remember...hands and...tentacles and...there was a tongue involved somewhere but...he really wasn't sure if it was her imagination, or if she was replaying the day's events. After all, he had been touching her a lot, and he licked her when they first met...
Besides, Mai wouldn't be having those dreams would she?
No, after all, their relationship was...strange and it did not involve sex.
-
After calling his name a few times, he made a funny noise got up and told here there was no time here. Well, poo. Maybe that was the wrong way of asking her question, what time was it? What time had they been sleeping? Or not sleeping. She frowned for a moment, sitting cross legged on the bed and watching him yawn and rub his neck, she squinted slightly to see better, and felt a little bad for waking him up, he must be so tired if he was still yawning and … taking his cloak off and putting it back on within a sentence of the first movement. But then he had to ruin her sympathetic mood to talk about her dream, instant a bright blush climbed up her throat and Mai found the wall to her right of her very interesting, staring at it intensely, like she was expecting it to talk, or maybe eat her so she wouldn’t have to answer him.
A quiet sigh of relief when he couldn’t remember what happened in them. She certainly could, and the blush grew hotter. Would it wake him up if she lied or told the truth? Or would hurt her in she lied? Sighing softly, Mai looked back at Skar, her head down and licked her lips. “I… I… Um, was dreaming. But not about… yesterday? Today? They were… um… different kinds of dreams?� If she figured Skar out, he’d be able to figure out that those were solely kinky dreams and there was no reply of events through out the day. Why did she have to say that? Standing up and pushing her arms high in the air to stretch her cramped limbs, she looked over at Skar and sighed softly. “You know, if you lend me your cloak, you can get some more sleep on the bed and I can sit in a chair. You seem tired still.�
Rubbing her forearm she looked away sheepishly, wondering if she should at least act nervous or girly after telling him, though not out right, that she had a less-than-chaste dream about them. No, better to pretend that nothing happened, because technically, nothing did happen, except the cheek licking… Which made her think. Was that really the way his people greeted one another? She’d have to ask him for sure, but for now she’d simply watch him and tilt her head in a confused bird like fashion. “Com’mon, get up and sleep in the bed. It’s probably still warm.� Moving so she could stand behind the chair he was in, she put her hands on the back and waited for him to get up and go to he bed to snuggle into it and steal a little more sleep from the Sand Man.
-
Why was she being so persistent about waking up? He wanted to rest and she was so...her voice just kept poking at him. Ugh. Slowly the room got brighter as he turned the ambient lighting up so that Mai could see again instead of being stuck in the darkness. Oh Skar noted she blushed when he talked about the dreams, her dreams for that matter. She didn't really seem to like it for that matter, maybe it really was something bad in that dream. Bad as in sexual, after all, the dream hadn't seemed unpleasant after all. It had just been strange for him. Seeing himself like that...it wasn't something you could easily get used to after all.
Whatever the case was, he wanted to know what she was dreaming about. She must have remembered something from it though, because she wouldn't be blushing otherwise. Usually minds didn't store dreams, it was just the brain having fun and replaying the days events or trying to sort things out, and they weren't filed in long term memory, they were just removed and forgotten, but she seemed to remember them.
"Really? Different then?" He focused his mind for a moment. What was she thinking about. He got a flash here and there, what he thought might have been part of her dreams, and he smirked slightly. Oh my. That wasn't...that wasn't what he thought it was...was it? They were naughty weren't they? His smirk turned into a full on grin, but he said nothing as she suddenly looked to him and he quickly stopped grinning, faking a yawn instead. "Nah, I'm already up. No point in going back to bed after this." More so because he really wanted to see if he could just...well torture her with this information. After all, from what he could grasp from her...well poignant flashes of memory.
"No no, I don't want to go back to sleep." He said as he gave a dismissive wave of his hand. The bed suddenly disappeared back into the ship. He tried to figure out why she had been so insistent on him getting back into the bed. HE smirked though as he turned the chair around suddenly to grab Mai, bring her down onto his lap and cradling her with a grin. "But you should go back to bed Mai, because I saw some of your dreams and your mind...and I think I know what you were dreaming about. Those were some pretty naughty dreams you know, but at the same time I'm excited." He grinned one of those large toothy grins of his, this really was pretty fun! She had a naughty dream.
And it was good.
He leaned down and licked her cheek again, winking at her. "You're such a naughty little girl you know that? And for me none the less, that's just a whole bunch of worry. I mean...After all I've done...heh heh." He stood up suddenly, helping Mai up to her feet and laughing. "Alright, we gotta get some new clothes for you Mai. Even though I like seeing you running around practically naked, it's distracting." He gave her rear a small slap as he pushed her over toward the second chair. "So we're going to head to a planet I regularly visit to pick up some supplies." The front of the ship opened up, letting the view screen be shown again. Skar sat down, turning about and pressing a few buttons on the console. Alright, set a course for OA-981...a nice little planet with a large Bazaar on it. Plus his old friend worked there.
"Now..engaging faster than light travel..." The ship rocked and vibrated and suddenly they were in another part of the universe. There was a strange green and beige planet off in the distance, it wasn't very big from where they were now. "We can't jump right near the planet, we have jump close to it and then use sub light drive to move in closer. They'll hail us, then they'll let us land."
-
A small yelp escaped her lips when she got yanked down beside Skar. Well, not beside, on top of. She was in the midst of apologizing when she realized he’d pulled her onto his lap. A deeper blushed stained her cheeks and Mai looked away. Embarrassment and shame bubbling up her throat as she sat there and he spoke. Gnawing on her lip by now, Mai didn’t know if she should wiggle and struggle to get off his lap or just go limp and hang out until he pushed her off. A semi-dark glare was pointed in his general direction while he spoke and called her silly names. They didn’t help at all with her blush, and when he licked her her entire face was probably red. Despite being humiliated she was angry now too, the smack on the bottom didn’t help her liking for him at all and she shot him a nasty glare as she plunked her bottom on her seat.
Hmph. She had one dream she couldn’t control and now he was teasing her about it. Ha. Slumping in her chair she gave a silent snarl to him and crossed her arms over her chest, angling her body away and hiding her left hand under her arm, Mai decided to stare off in another direction and not answer him. Though she was glad she was going to get new clothing, she’d first have to walk around in what she was wearing, which was little more than shreds, with her newly amputated finger. All at once she really didn’t want to go anywhere. Pulling her knees to her chest, she watched what was going on out of the corner of her eye, a little amazed at the sights once they got there.
In a matter of a few minutes Mai had both feet on the ground and her hands on the chair sides. Staring out the window. “It’s… not very colourful. Is that where we’re going, Skarol?� To show her indication of being a little miffed at him still she used the longer name he gave her the first time they met. Which was little over a day ago wasn’t it? Felt like longer, but she guessed being tortured would do that to a person. Sighing lightly, Mai looked over at Skar, sent him another dark look and huffed before looking forward again, she decided she’d ignore him for a while because he teased her. The jerk.
-
This might have been just a little wrong of him, just a little mean for that matter...but still, he wanted to tease her about this while he could. After all, she was getting bolder and bolder, and it had only been a day or so. He wasn't actually sure the time but still...it had been quite a while. That's all that really mattered after all. He didn't think her face could get redder, but after the lick, oh she had just started to burn up didn't she? The slap on the rear got a rather scary glare from her actually...he probably should be just a little careful.
"Ah don't worry about it Mai, dreams are strange things. Recapping days events, trying to figure out what happened, put things into order. Still, hilarious." He wondered what sort of clothes she might like...or if he could just pick them all out. Heh heh, he knew a few things he could put on her...maybe get her some sexy frilly underwear and such. Of course, he'd have to get her the same outfit she had now, or something close to it cause...well it was a good outfit. Didn't really cover much, transparent, and felt nice on the fingers and tentacles.
"Huh? Colourful? Well...it's a planet." What was with the Skarol thing though? She never called him that, she just called him Skar, and well...hrm...he should probably find out why but that was probably a bad idea. She really didn't seem that happy with him actually so...just let her cool off.
Once they landed, things were better. The world was a little strange, it was colourful though at least, but there was a bit of pollution in the air. However, the world wasn't backwater, everyone had a ship, the city they had landed in had sky scrapers, and the part they were in now though...looked just a little seedy. It was of course. Skar went straight outside, the doors opening and the ramp coming down. "Let's go then Mai, let's go get you some clothes and some...some food that isn't people." Alright, so he was going to be a little nice, so what?! He wanted to...erm...not hate him. That's all. Yeah. People were easier to get along with when they didn't hate you.
They went through some buildings, going to a large bazaar. There were lots of booths set up, shops, and a whole lot of people were inspecting goods. Skar knew where he was going. It was a booth near the back, he practically dragged Mai with him. There was...well there was a man who looked...well he had the same lavender skin as Skar, and the same golden eyes...though his hair was a green colour, dark. He had the same sharp teeth like Skar, and he was grinning. "Naaah, Skarol!" The man cried as he came around the booth to embrace Skar in a large hug. "Tek'alliso, good to see you. Anyway...I got...well I need some supplies. Clothes first for ah...this one." Skar brought Mai around to show her to Tek, who grinned even larger.
"Another one eh? Heh, am I allowed to take a spin with this one. That Kaoli was pretty nice..." Skar's face dropped for a moment and he looked really serious. "No. Not this one. Her name is Mai and...She's not going that way." Tek blinked a few times and then just glared. "All the things we've been through, you and me? We share everything! And you won't share this one now? Oh I hope there's a good reason Skarol, because this doesn't fly well with me." Tek's voice had a deadly tone to it, even Skar wondered what was going to be the backlash for this sort of thing. Tek can be vindictive...plus.. .as a mutant...well. Tek had an interesting sort of dynamic. He was more insectoid from the neck down. Like a strange mammal insect hybrid actually. He had an exoskeleton of sorts, with insectoid legs...but erm...
He found out that Tek was really a man for that matter. Ahem.
"Alright well then little long eared girl...just look around my little booth here and pick out what you want. I've got clothes from hundreds of planets, some from different galaxies even." Tek said as he gestured to the different racks of clothes, the shelves, all the different materials hanging from the large booth's roof. There were indeed clothes everywhere. "So I guess since you won't be paying in the regular way Skarol, whaddya gonna give me?" Skar rolled his eyes, reaching into his cloak which he had remembered to put on. He pulled out a small steel box and handed it over. "This what I think it is?" Skar nodded slightly and Tek grinned. "Ah Skarol, you know me too well. Alright."
-
(( Dx I'm sorry ))
Nervous and warm, Mai looked around slowly, one hand holding Skars in a death grip so she didn't get lost and so she knew where they were going. Not that she could read his mind, so when he came upon a booth that... looked rather scary. Blinking her large brown eyes, Mai couldn't look away from this friend of Skars, giving him a once over, blushing then staring at his face. These were all odd creatures, though this one, this... Tek certianlly took the cake. Clearing her throat, Mai took a few steps back away from the pair and looked around, hearing but not paying attention to what they were saying. Assuming of course that it had nothing to do with her, she was wrong of course, but she didn't have to know that.
Upon hearing 'Little long eared girl' Mai turned around and blinked owlishly up at this Tek person, not willing to look anywhere else she smiled politely and tilted her head to the side, looking past him at everything. "Anything...?" She could do that, giving another more enthusiatic but polite smile and began to browse around. Looking for dark heavy things that wouldn't be see through, go see through when wet and were just plain unsexy. She didn't try on any, getting things that looked about the right size, maybe a little bigger, either way, it was sexless and unattractive and just was she was looking for to keep Skars weird eyes away from her. Maybe he'd stop liking her if she didn't display her assests to him every waking hour because of her less-than-modest clothing. bunching it up in her arms and holding it to her chest, she quickly blew some of her white-blond out of her face and made her way back to the pair.
"I.. I got a few things... " Motions to her armful of monotoned colours and looks at Skar back to his friend. "I Hope you don't mind... with the things I picked." Mai said, slowly sinking to stand beside and a little behind Skar. Making herself small and insignificant.
-
((Bah! It's fine and you know it! <3))
"Do you got anything like an Earthen Silk worm design? Flimsy, see through, that sort of thing Tek? She's got that nice outfit...I want more of them." Tek grinned as he nodded, skittering about to collect a few things, placing them into a bag for Skar. The golden eyed man looked pleased as punch as he just thought about getting her into that stuff. "You're a pervert Skarol, but it's just terrific." Tek said as he handed the bag to him. "Yeah I know but...Ahem. She has a beautiful body, I want to flaunt it."
Tek and Skar chatted a little bit, watching her as she went about and picked things out. Heh. She seemed to be picking out some really bulky and heavy looking clothes, something that he didn't like at all. It mean trouble really, she'd be covering herself up a lot. He would not have that on his ship! After all, she was his...play thing, and you dressed up your play things right?
Hrm. Maybe he was comparing her to a doll because he was a bit annoyed at her. She had been so mean...and then going through the bazaar she had clung so tight to him...
The two of them were talking about some events they've heard about during their travels, a few of them even actually about their home world for that matter. They were interrupted though by Mai suddenly coming over and pretty much hiding behind Skar. "Nah, it's fine little long ears. Let me bag that all up for you." Once more Tek scuttled to get a large bag and fill up with the large clothes that Mai collected. "Well, you could have picked...nicer stuff...instead you picked big stuff." Skar observed as he looked back to Mai before Tek came up, handing the bag to him. Skar took it and looked to Mai, holding both bags in his hand now.
"Well Mai, let's go get you some food now Mai. Tek...it was really great to see you again...it really was. I've gotta get her some food now, then we're off to go find some adventure ahm...see you later." Tek came over and patted his friend on the back. "Any time you want to buy something just come to say hi!" Of course, Skar didn't know it but a tiny little pin just poked his back. He simply shrugged it off as headed off with Mai to gather some food from another merchant. He got her stuff that she would...hopefully like. Roots, exotic fruits, some slabs of meat and what not, enough to last her for months at least.
On their way back to his ship, his head started to get a little...strange. He felt a bit light headed and he seemed to be flushed for some strange reason, perhaps a little sweaty around the brow. As he got inside he stowed away some of the stuff and collapsed on the chair. "Oh stars I don't feel good..." Skar groaned as he entered something on the computer, the ship taking off and headed back into space. However...a problem started to happen. The ship began sputter as it broke free of the gravitational pull, slowing down.
It was getting sick, just like Skar.
"Ahm...M-mai...I need...I need to lie down I think." Skar blearily got to his feet, looking around the ship. It was sort of spinning right now...turning...stu mbling about...he wasn't sure what was happening to him. He had felt fine just a little while ago and yet now...ugh...when he suffered a disease, he lost concentration with his mental abilities, and his ship got sick as well. That's what happened when you shared a bond with your ship, and also when it was a biological creation as well. Slumping to the ground, Skar looked really warm, his face was flushed even more and a good layer of sweat beaded down his face. His breath was quick and he looked like he was in pain. He was talking, but it was more like...incoherent babbling actually.
Things did not look good for Skar.
-
Ouch, scolded by a purple guy about the clothes she picked. Mai blushed lightly and looked down, feeling self concious about what she was wearing now after picking out what looked to be far more comfy clothing. Hiding her wounded hand, well, not wounded, maimed more like behind the other one while she stood, she looked up at Skar and frowned a little. Why should she pick nice stuff? It's cold in space, and besides, the only person she had to dress up for was Skar, and that wouldn't be much fun. The pervert. Looking away, ashamed that she managed to pick stuff she liked and would be comfy in, but still Skar didn't. No matter, she was getting them anyway. Of course, she gave some throught as to what was in the other bag he was holding, but didn't think past it for more than a few momments after getting food.
She could only stare at the odd fruit things. Never having anything quite as ripe and juicy looking as that, her mouth watered just thinking about tasting it. Clasping Skars cloak, she followed behind like a good puppy, and only stopped when they reached the ship. And by then he looked sick. Mai chewed on her lip for a moment while he went about doing things, maybe he was just overheated? Skar couldn't get sick, that would... Be bad. Would she get sick, too? Would it kill her if she did get it? No, probably not. Mai walked over to Skar after saying he felt sick and gently placed her hand on his forehead, she didn't feel anything, but he wasn't chilly so it must have been around her tempurate, which was way above normal, which meant that poor Purple Skar had a fever. Her own species cooled down when they were sick, their bodies slowing down to fight the intruder instead of speeding up. It worked, somehow.
"Oh, Skar, you're sick!"
Holding her left, maimed hand against her lap, she pulled another strip off of her skirt and lightly dabbed at the sweat on Skars forehead, frowning lightly at him. They weren't going to move until he gets better, so she moved beside him, and pressed against his side, to act as a sort of support because there was nothing else on this blasted ship, and she couldn't make anything because she wasn't actually... Bah. Either way, she couldn't just let him sit there and be uncomfortable. So Mai gently scooted to the side and pulled Skars head so it rested on her lap, maybe he'd feel better if he was laying down.
"You'd better get well, or I'm going to have to... have to... I don't know! But once I figure it out I'm going to do it!"
This though said with some force behind it, was quiet and whispery. She wouldn't want to be a horrible care taker and wake him up if he was sleeping.
-
"Sick? I...can't...can...I have...a few times...but...I felt fine..." His words were slightly slurred, his eyes looked a little glazed right now as he tried to focus on Mai. Why the hell was there four of her, and also...why were they all out of focus. He tried to reach his mind out to them, seeing if they were real and...one was but...the others were...wait...there was four of everything...that couldn't be good. Still his mind just wasn't able to really focus.
Yet he just couldn't bring himself to.
He wasn't really focusing on when she suddenly started taking strips from her skirt to start wiping the sweat from him, or the fact that she suddenly moved around and pulled his head onto her lap. He just felt kinda comfortable now. "Wha...do what? I need...how did...Tek...Tek that...oh stars..." Suddenly Skar rolled off of Mai and began to gag violently, retching into the floor. Thankfully the ship was quick to absorb the substance, but it didn't digest it this time, instead it launched it straight into space. The bile had been a sort of blue, which Skar knew was really bad.
"Oh...so-sor-sorry." Skar wiped his mouth with his cloak, spitting a few times on the floor. It felt like his head was exploding in a fiery pain while his mouth burned and his stomach churned. This was not what he wanted...and it had been Tek. Why? Why would Tek have done that?
Only Tek knew what his species was susceptible to, or for that matter, the mutants of his species were. Not to mention that Skar was...scared. Really scared. Usually he would have a good laugh about this, shrug it all off later and then...he'd probably go and break one of Tek's legs off. However now he had...he had a problem.
Mai.
There was a problem right there. She had her chance now. Slowly Skar began crawl away from Mai, his body shaking. Slowly those bars rose up between the two of them. Skar headed for the corner. Ugh. A pile of clothes fell on him suddenly from above, where he stored all the blankets and what not. They came tumbling down on him, and he managed to drag one onto him as he huddled in the corner.
"You...you four just stay over there...I know what you want...want...want to do...you're just...gonna wait...until...I'm too weak to fight...then you'll just kill me!" Of course, if Mai noticed, those bars were well enough apart she could just slip right by them. Of course to Skar, there looked like there was a lot more of them. Poor guy was so delusional right now.
-
Just like anyone else who didn't have a stomach made of steal, Mai recoiled and covered her nose and mouth while Skar puked on the floor. She reached out of rubbed his back, feeling guilty for him being so ... nastily sick. Cheweing on her lip, she left him crawl away and she frowned slightly, bunching up her skirts to slowly craw after him. " Aw, Skar."
Looking down Mai nearly smacked her forehead into one of the slowly raising bars. Looking up and sitting back quickly she frowned and closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again when skar spoke. Kill him? why on earth would she do that? His ship would stop working and probably swallow her up or throw her out into space, then she'd die too! That would be horrible, she didn't want to die! Besides, Skar wasn't turning out to be as much as an ass as he.. was at first.
Mai frowned at her maimed hand and looked up at the bars. He must have been really out of it, because they were far enough apart for her to get through, smirking slighty and shaking her head at poor sick Skar. Getting between the bars, Mai grabbed the other blankets and piles of cloth and wrapped them around him.
"I don't want to kill you. That's the last thing I want.. I just want you to get better, okay...?"
Looking around, not really able to do anything to help except wipe away sweat and be a semi comfy pillow. Licking her lips, Mai looked down at Skar. Why would he be scared of her? And how did he get sick so quickly? Did that always happen to his species? MAi knew that her own would slowly cool down, and then get very ill. But, he just rolled over and started throwing up. Was that normal? Might as well ask.
"Skar...? Is this normal? Can you hear me?" Mai crawled a little and took the cloth again, putting his head on her lap and dabbing at his forehead with the torn strip of her skirt. Licking her lips, Mai looked around again, for anything that might help her get something to warm him up? Cool him down? To drink? Bah! This stupid ship and being connected to his fried brain. They were both doomed. "Skar..." Her voice was a small pleading whiny kind of noise, it was full of real worry and scared that he might just die. "Don't die... Please? I'd rather you be psychotic and here than... dead and.. not here..." Which made her wonder while she stroked his chest and face of the sweat that was beading there...
If he died, would his ship spit him out into space like the rest of the waste?
-
How...how did...how did she get...she got through the bars?! What kind of tricks were these? How did she manage that? She must be magic! Oh stars she was coming to get him as well! "No you lie! You want me dead!" He was frantic, he weakly tried to kick at her but...sadly he was just kicking air. He just couldn't figure out which Mai was Mai. However he was weak, and soon his frantic kicking slowed down until he stopped, panting heavily. However he became more delirious as he suddenly reached up to put his hand on her face. She was warm.
"You were gonna be great Maaaai...Warm and soft...I was hoping you'd be a great laaaay...Hee hee...lay Mai...We were gonna do so much you an I..." He looked rather out of it, more so because he moved his hand to try and cup the cheek of another Mai. "You would be my greatest student...all that fire an' that hatred of yours for me...we was gonna channel that you know!" Skar's hand fell down to his side as he coughed a few times, his head was spinning, it was so...odd!
Wait...now there were more Mai all around him...woah...that could be fun! He could have sex with all seven of the Mais that were here!
He tried to grasp at them feebly but only one seemed to actually be there...damn it. Still his mind wasn't able to put that connection together. The others must be further away from him! Yeah! That had to be it!
"Normal? What...? Normal...No...Terax ian Flu...My species...mutants.. .hurts us bad..." His stomach churned a little bit but he fought the need to vomit right now. "Die? Rest...Just need...gotta fight it...warmth. Gotta be warm...gotta fight...What? Oh no, none for me, I left Kaoli back on the ship waiting for me...Oh you know how she gets right? Sullen and pouty, all the time." It was apparent that now he was having a conversation with...well no one could be sure. Someone at least.
"I didn't...I didn't mean to kill her! She just...I wanted to hold her! But she...she didn't want me...I didn't mean it! Why?! Why am I so stupid!" Skar began to swipe his hands back and forth in front of his face, trying to fight at some unknown attacker or trying to clear something from in front of him.
"Mai...oh stars Mai...I can't let you go Mai! You know I can't! I need you I...I need you with me Mai!! You have to be here with me or else...or else I have no one! I didn't...I didn't want to bite you...but you just wouldn't listen you wouldn't...you never...I just...there was no time...I got to train you Mai..." Skar slumped down further, coughing uncomfortably, a really dry and painful sounding laugh that tore at his throat.
There was a beeping sound from the computer console though...it was the radar. Right now he didn't really understand it, and it was almost just a background noise at this point. It meant though that a ship was coming in, getting closer to them. It wouldn't be here for a little while but...there was something coming.
-
While Mai was expecting him to throw up be whiny and just be a big baby like every other male she knew when they got sick. The last thing she expected was him to start babbling and talking. She felt a little guilty for freaking him out so bad, but while he babbled and chattered to himself, also earning him a good mean glare at the lay comment and a little sympathy for everything else.
Mai didn't want to think 'Poor Skar' but she couldn't help it when he seemed so... Broken. Kind of like a glass plate that got shattered and then glued together with the peices in all the wrong places. Sure he was together, but it seemed that in his mind things didn't click quite right. That or he was male. Mai gave Skars face and upper chest another dab with the cloth, making gentle cooing noises and prattling on about how he wasn't too sick and he'd get better soon. Mai was acting very much like a mother hen, she may have hated Skar quite a bit, but that was all on the bottom and any sort of love with living things was on the serface. Besides, even after an entire day with the fellow she'd stil miss him after he died.
Blinking, Mai listened to him go on about what he was sick with. It hurt mutants? That would mean that that Insect fellow, Tek, did this to him. Weren't they the same? Well, Mai thought, looking down at Skars curled up, bundled up body, almost the same. As she continued to pet his hair and wipe off sweat and act as a humanoid pillow, Mai looked up and blinked when she heard the weird beeping. What was that...?
Frowning towards it, Mai slowly got up, grabbing a loose blanket and sticking it under Skars head to act as a pillow in her place. "Don't freak out, I'm just gonna look for the beeping." Sweeping a hand over his fevered forehead she got up and started looking around, touching everythng that glowed and putting her ear against it. Sure she had great ears, but they weren't exactly for echolocation. Frowning and wandering around agian, it then occured to her to maybe look at that funny chair Skar loved to sit in. Sure enough, the beeping was coming from there! Not, there but around there.
Still didn't know what it meant though. It's not like she could... read anything or understand what all the funny noises meant. "Skar, your seat's beeping. Well, not your seat, but somethnig by it." Licking her lips, feeling bad for talking to him, he probably wouldn't answer her anyway. "What does the beeping mean...?" Hopefully the beeping wasn't the reason she was getting worried about something, looking around, Mai was suddenly a little scared of the fact that the ship was connected to Skars brain.
-
The fever was running wild in his body, causing his mind to shift and try to protect itself while nature ran its course. There would be trouble if his mind operated normally during a bad sickness like this...he had those psychic powers after all! It was best for him to just keep in his state of nonsensical babbling, lest he end up rending Mai's mind apart with a psychic whiplash.
"Oh there is so much to do around here! We've got to prepare this ship Meyana! Slowly Skar tried to pull himself up, but that was failing. "You know that the dread pirate Galavar is coming to visit, we've got to make sure the trap is all laid out for him. Oh so much! Remember, don't jump him until he's had a drink at least. That stinger on his back can rip clean through a person. I don't want to hafta replace you Meyana!" He was going through his past experiences before he had met Mai. If she understood what he was saying through some of the slur and the groans of pain, she might figure out that this Meyana was before Kaoli.
When Mai suddenly left, he didn't even really seem to notice her absence. However he pulled himself up suddenly against the wall, holding a few of the limp tentacles in his hand and stroking them absently. "You bastards! YOU BASTARDS! YOU CUT THEM OFF! Stars help you when I get out of here, and don't think I won't get out either!" Skar slowly crawled toward the bars, leaning heavily against them. "I swear I'll get out! And then all of you are gonna pay for this! That princess too! I swear I will take her with me! You can't undo the damage I've done to her mind! SHE IS BROKEN! SHE IS MINE! YOU HEAR ME?! MINE!" Skar slumped against the bars, coughing painfully as he gripped the tentacles in his hands. The barbs cut into his flesh, causing thick purple blood to flow from the wounds on his palms.
"I can't believe they cut them off...Stars help me...My ship...oh stars I can regrow them on my ship! I just...I gotta...I gotta say you look terrific Kaoli!" And he was off again into something else. At least now he was standing, his blankets wrapped about him. "Beep beep beep. Check the radar Meyana, sounds like that bastard's ship is finally coming in" That wasn't far off from the truth either, as there was a ship closing in on them fast. It took a moment but the ship suddenly rocked as something seemed to bump up against it. The ship's doors opened up and instead of leading into space it led into another ship. From what someone could see, the other ship looked similar to the one they were in now, but it's colours were different, it was more technological than it was biological.
Through the now created gate way came a rather familiar looking figure. It looked like Skar was walking through, until a bit of the steam cleared and it was Tek actually. His two insect legs skittered across the ground as he walked, poised almost like a praying mantis with his hands together, grinning as he looked around. "Ah! Very nice indeed." Tek murmured as he spotted Skar up against the large spaced bars, babbling almost incoherently to himself.
"Never deny a mutant from Viter 5 what he wants. You always told that to me Skarol, and so I'm taking a page from your book. It's too bad you can't understand me of course." Tek's large golden eyes scanned the ship until his eyes came upon Mai, his tongue running across his lips. "And there we have the little bunny girl! Good to know you didn't get infected as well. Funny thing that flu, It affects our people so easily but other races fight it off within the first hour." The doors slowly sealed up behind Tek and he readjusted his cloak a little bit.
"Hm. It's a bit chilly in here isn't it. We need it nice and warm in here you know. Heh...me and you are gonna have some funny, and luckily you're wet behind the ears, so hopefully Skarol hasn't passed too much of his brutal nature off to you. Though, I hope you struggle just a little bit. Kaoli did."
-
For the most part, Mai ignored Skars pointless babble. If he ever wanted to tell her anything about him she’d rather he be well and tell her on purpose. Though, his babbling made her very interested. As she looked around the ship she listened to a little of what he was saying, of course when he started going on about his tentacles she turned around and blinked at him… They looked fine to her, what could be wrong with them? Shrugging it off and only half listening to him. Yeah, yeah, poor Skar and his tentacles, they were there again anyway, so she didn’t understand why he was wailing about them being gone. They looked fine to her.
Of course when he started to move she got up and hold out her hands as if to stop him from doing anything stupid. Which would be hard, he <I>was</I> Skar afterall. Then he said beep beep beep… and the radar… Mai turned around, Skar momentarily forgotten to look at the control panel thing. Which one was the radar? What was beeping? Why did she have to be so… horrible with technology. Frowning at the control panal, mai almost fell on her butt when the ship was rocked. Hey, look at that, she found the radar. A little late though.
Taking a few steps backwards, mai stared at the door. Was that supposed to happen? A hand in a fist was on her chest in a protective movement and she was slowly backing towards Skar. Ha, like he could save her with the state he was in. Skar could work as a good meat shield though! Maybe that’s what she had in mind for him? Yeah! Skar the meat shield.
When the door opened to present a shadow, Mai let out a squeak and stared at whatever it was. It was that yuckie bug-man… The one who poisoned Skar. Looking over her shoulder at him quickly, she frowned and thought, maybe, just maybe he was here to help?
Of course that was blown out of the water as soon as he spoke. He really was a bastard this Tek fellow. Taking a few more steps back, she glared at him, the second black eyelid going into place, giving her that eerie ‘looking everywhere’ look to her, which she wasn’t. She was looking for something smack or hit him with besides her own hands, if she remembered correctly he had a funny version of hard armour on. Taking a step towards him, possibly to keep him from killing Skar, just incase he deceided to make a magical recovery and save the day, Mai slowly walked around, her face never leaving Teks direction while her eyes still looked around.
Mai stopped walking when Tek finally spoke, watching her. Of course she’d have a new nasty temper. The bastard had bitten off a finger. Mai had loved her hands and now she was missing an entire finger, maybe she could take out some nasty feelings on this big jerk, if she could hit him.
�That ass bit off my finger,� She sent Skar a look, poor man looking like he was insane, she really wished he’d lay back down, even if she could see herself about to be eaten or… something worse happening. “But… I fought him off. I can … do that to you too, so don’t…� Mai swallowed and took a step back, looking away for a moment, spotting a happy shiny thing near Skars pilot seat. “So don’t… Touch me�
Of course, the seat was almost too far away. With a giant bug-guy between her and the seat, it looked very far away. Mai hopped with all that she was that she’d be able to get that happy-shiny and smack the bug-bastard with it.
-
Tek was just a bit of an ass when it came to matters that involved himself. Skar was the same way, Mai should have figured that out by now on her own. Sure Tek and Skar weren't completely the same, but they has the same sort of twisted logic to them. Granted, Skar was the one who kidnapped people, formed a strange Master/Student relationship and than ate them. Tek just...followed on Skar's coat tails while he traversed the galaxy for strange and exotic things. He wasn't brave enough to do what Skar did though...yet right now was a new chapter perhaps, he could get a little bolder.
After all, Mai didn't look like a fighter, her mind didn't sound like a fighter. She sounded more like a coward, a runner, someone who would hide, would be all the more fun.
She'd be a screamer.
Tek had the same abilities as Skar, gaining the psychic power of an advanced brain with higher functions to it. He was surprised by her sudden change in eye colour, it had gone all black, but he just smirked decisively. She wasn't a threat, she wasn't even close to a threat. While he may not have been fast, he had an insectoid body, it could take a punishment, his arms were a little longer and they were great for grasping things, holding onto people and what not. Plus his body had a lot of tiny hairs on it that allowed him to sense change, pressures, that sort of thing. It was hard to fight him, because he could almost tell which moves you would make before you made them.
Skar was not going to be helping her on this fight, as he seemed to be back on the floor retching up the bile and coughing violently. The ship would take care of the bile of course, but he was in no shape to fight any battles at this time. Had he been well, he would have easily taken care of Tek, dispatched him quickly, but this fight had been rigged sadly.
"You're lucky that's all he did. I'm surprised, more or less at him. He should have had his way with you. He must be getting old! That's alright though, while he's incapacitated however, I'll just have to take over and break you in. Hell, he'll be out for at least a day or for a good portion of the rest of this one, so I'll be able to show you all the tricks." Tek advanced on her, stepping closer, moving his cloak about from him, untying it and letting it fall. Indeed he had very bug like skin, it was plated and shiny, but still a lavender colour though. Though his arms and legs looked somewhat thin, he also looked a little bulky in a way, as was the illusion of the exoskeleton.
That was however, just when Mai seemed a slight distracted, the time he struck out at her. Indeed it was like a Mantis would fight, gripping her tight with both hands around her forearms, bringing her suddenly close to him. He seemed to lift her with ease. Before he could really let her react, his mouth was against hers, pressed firmly in a tight lock. His tongue tried to find its way into her mouth, but after resistance was met he simply allowed his tongue to travel along her lips. The kiss was broke, but his tongue continued to trek along the corner of her lips to her cheek before he finally stopped.
"Ah, he was right to pick you, because you taste delicious don't you? I only wonder how you'll feel around me." He set her down somewhat, one arm wrapping about her to hold her tight against him as the other hand travelled to her clothes, gripping them and ripping them piece by piece from her body until a pile of scraps lay on the ground.
"Is this gonna be a new experience for you bunny girl? You ever been with a man before?"
-
The last thing she expected from the skittering bug-man was to be picked up and… Licked… On the mouth. Yuck. Kicking her legs and making funny screeching noises in her throat, she tried in vain to push off the gross slobbery attacker. This was gross, he felt all… rough and just… Gross! It was bad enough she had wanted to gag when Skar was puking, having this things tongue on her lips and cheeks made her want to throw up, too. Turning her face away from him and opening her mouth to take a big breath, and to just turn her head away from him, the second, black eyelid closed away and she stared at him.
She was so completely fucked.
And things only got worse when he started to talk. She knew what he was talking about when he mentioned being her being delicious, which she hoped was a huge lie. Mai would much rather taste like dirty socks than be delicious. The other thing he said, how she’d feel around him? Did he mean a hug? “Feel… around you? Do you mean a hug?� If all he wanted was a hug Mai would be more than happy to give him a hug and have him go away. Unfortunately, having realized that she was in big trouble, she assumed he meant something other than a hug, and honestly, Mai didn’t want to know what he was talking about at all. Ever.
Though when he lowered her and held her with one arm, she struggled to get her arms free, wiping away the slobber on her mouth and cheek before hitting the armor plated Bug-Man with both her hands. “Let me go! I… I’ll bite you!� she screamed at him as he started to rip off her clothing. When he was close enough she’d kick at him with her legs, while her hands clawed at the arm around her. His home grown armour proved too much for Mais feeble muscles and hands, blushed brightly at her nakedness, she stopped attacked and started to move her arms and curl her legs up to hide her… Assets.
Blinking blanking at what he said, humiliation and embarrassment in place of her hot anger. Been with a man? Why couldn’t this Tek just talk like a normal person, of course she’s been with a man! She’d been with Skar all day yesterday after he… Kidnapped her. Swallowing and leaning as far away from this Tek creature that she could she nodded furiously and sputtered out. “O-o-of course I have! I..I was with Skar all day yesterday… and part of t-t-today! Now… P-p-put me� She swung a leg to try to kick him again, “down!� Her body heated up while her blush grew darker, and she struggled and wriggled to get free.
Remembering the happy-shiny, the gun, that horrible yet wonderful device that would blast this bastards brains out, Mai began to think while she struggled. Trying her best to vale her thoughts under odd images that would make no sense to anyone, she began to plot and wonder if going along with him would get her to the gun, or get her brutally raped. Maybe if she acted broken? Mentally insane? Asked if she could dance for him? Forgetting that she was completely naked and her once-clothing was on the ground, she swallowed and looked up at the creature. “I… Can… You let me go? Please…? Skar i-i-is sick, and he might even die! And… you wouldn’t get anymore g…girls.� Ha, like that would work, this was Mai hoping her captor was as stupid and bug-brained as he looked.

All the mutants who feasted on flesh from Viter 5 usually liked to taste people. Not all mutants actually ate people, some just ate them exclusively, the ones that did of course liked to taste people. It was something that they just did, they all thought alike. Plus it really was better to know who was edible and who wasn't, and this woman was very much edible. How could Skar not admit that he was just going to kill and eat her later anyway?
Though, she looked like she was gagging from the kiss.
"Oh you are a naive one aren't you? No no, you'll find out soon." Already his mind was trying to clear that chaotic fog of thoughts in her mind so he could know exactly what she was going to do, exactly what she was up to, and what she was thinking. However that would take a few hours, but if he could keep her around then he would be able to find out her mind. And he wanted to see if she was truly as naive as she seemed to be.
Tek just laughed as he shook his head quietly. She was such a little firecracker! Of course her kicking really wasn't doing anything, neither were her clawing at this time. "Bite me? You could try, but my exoskeleton is much stronger than you are you know." She seemed to really understand this as she stopped and tried to instead hide herself. That was adorable! It wouldn't help her of course but he was going to have a whole bunch of fun just...toying with her. Once more he laughed at her as she responded his other questions. By the fire of Carrian she was so naive!
"No no, not like that you dolt, I mean sexually. Have ya ever been fucked before! Apparently not. Good, I love breaking in fresh ones. Usually the ones Skar brings have already been broken, such a shame." He held onto her tight though, laughing to himself. "I have put you down, and if you keep kicking you'll beak your foot." Mostly because he'd break it for her but that was neither here nor there at this time. Still, she seemed to be getting warmer, and her blush was just getting redder, it was adorable!
Tek grabbed Mai by both of her arms, holding her tight in his grasp. Her thoughts were so strange, they were all muddled and moving too much, he really couldn't figure them out at this time. "Hm? No you can't go. As for Skar, oh well! He can die if he wants to, I mean, he'll probably live but if he gives up his fight well no...then he'll die. Ah hah hah! You make it seem like I only have sex when Skar comes around with one of his slave whores. That planet down below is a great place to get laid, some of the hookers there will do anyone or anything if you got a bit of money...or a few of the better drugs." Tek's teeth shone as he grinned as large as possible as he forced her toward the front seats.
"Now, since this'll be your first time, we're gonna have sex a way that well...won't be too fun for you. Not gonna lie, it's gonna hurt, but those who fight through the pain grow all the stronger." Soon Tek was devoid of his pants, and indeed it was...a strange sight to say the least. He did indeed have male parts...half mammal, half insectoid, it was even...armoured. Tek lowered himself onto the chair and got comfortable, one hand pulling on Mai's wrist to bring her closer to him.
"See this is how it's gonna be really! I'm gonna sit here, and then you'll sit down on me. Just first you're gonna hafta get me excited, unless you want a limp fucking at first." Tek sat back in his chair, motioning to below his waist, waiting for her. He had no idea that just a few inches from his leg sat a weapon, and one that was powerful enough to kill him. Hell, he didn't even know that it could pierce his exoskeleton with a direct shot. Skar was still busy on the floor, coughing violently, wrapped in a blanket, turning in a dazed sleep. He wouldn't be able to rescue Mai, so she'd have to rescue herself.
-
Gasping breaths and tears ran down her cheeks. She really, really didn't want to do this. This was worse than that time where they made her go out hunting on her own. She'd rather be out in the hot desert again than naked and... here. Her arms still covered what they could of her body until her wrist was grabbed. "Please! Leave me alone!" she screamed, frantic. This was horrible, she'd never want to be around an alien again, panting from fear she pulled at the arm that was being held and closed her eyes, opening them again when she heard him sit down. Shaking from fear, she just stood and stared.
He... He... He wanted her to do.. to do what? Eww! Gross! There was no way in hell she'd do... she'd do... Then she spotted it. Her salvation, that thing that blew other things up. She could... Distract him? Until she grabbed it... It was right by his foot. Blushing brightly and brushing the tears from her cheeks from the back of her hands, averted her eyes from Teks... erm... Lovely body and swallowed her fear. Sitting astride his legs so she could hook her own behind his and bend over backwards. Mai felt horrible, but she had to do this to save herself. While it was unfortunate that she had to give him a bit of a show, she bent back and down far enough to grab the gun.
Once it was in her hands, she put them behind her back, gave him a sultry smirk, wiggled her hips... Then moved the gun from behind her and shot him in the chest,where she assumed his heart was. Then in the face, just to make sure he was dead. And she sat there, shaking her head down and her arms at her side. Assuming he didn't regenerate, if he did that she would be pretty screwed.
Letting out a little gasping sob, Mai quickly scrambled off of him and went over to grab one of Skars unused blankets. Curling up in that, she laid down beside her purple captor, not really wanting him to die, who would she bitch and scream at once everyone from this god-forsaken space ship was gone?
(DDX SO DAMN SHORT. Sorrie sorrie sorrie!! Next one will be betters. And longer, x_X Just wanted to finally post and get the plot movin')
-
"No no, I don't think so little bunny." Tek said as he held onto her wrist as tight as possible, though, not to the degree that would end up breaking her bones. No, he needed her to be unbroken after all. Heh, he'd get to break her all a lot quite a while from now. She'd have no idea what was going to happen, but she would have quite a few hours to learn. Then...Skar would wake, he would stop being such a little pansy after he'd seen his precious little girl ruined, and they'd be back to normal. He'd probably not even be mad about this whole ordeal!
Tek smirked all the more as he watched her bending back, making an insectoid chattering noise as he ran his hand over her hips, licking his lips. Oh this would be a sweet little morsel, he could understand why Skar had grabbed her. Heh heh. Of course, Tek didn't even have time to get sexually stimulated as suddenly there was a burning sensation in his chest. He just gaped as he looked down to it, blinking a few times. There was a hole in his chest. In. His. Chest. What? He looked up just in time to see the weapon in her hand, and to-
There was no time to finish any thoughts.
As he no longer had a brain. It was simply gone. Just a hole in his skull now. The ship was already quick to act to the new organic matter, by literally sucking in Tek's body, right through the chair itself to process it into some energy, discarding any waste it couldn't digest.
Skar still had no idea what was happening, but there was something warm and sobbing beside him. Hm. It seemed like the perfect thing to grab hold of while the strange coloured room spun about. He didn't cling, but he did wrap his arms about it. "Always spinning, I think we're out of control! We've been shot haven't we? Oh no we're going down! Prepare for crash landing! Damn it Mai! Where've you gotten off to? Don't hide under that! Do you know what that is?! It's...well that's a chair but you can't hide there!" Skar was just babbling, his voice was hoarse and his speech still rather slurred. Yeah, he was still quite out of it then.
-
Mai chewed on her lip and closed her eyes tight. She wanted to scream and beat him. But he was sick...
Which means he wouldn't remember. Mai sat up, not caring about her nakedness as she pushed Skar onto his back and sat on his chest, pusing his shoulders down. "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" She screamed at him, her long blonde rope of a braid trailing over her shoulder, mostly hiding what the blanket still around her waist didn't. Her small fish pounded onto his shoulder. "I hate you! I hope you die!"
Of course she didn't hope he'd die, that would actually be bad. The ship would probably eat its self or something. After Mais little freak out, she quickly stood up wiped at the tears on her face and took a few deep breaths before tying the blanket onto her in a make-shift toga like garment. This sucked, Mai covered her face and sank down to her knees crying and carrying on like it'd help. It didn't help her physical problems, like being stuck on a ship with a psychotic purple alien that wanted to eat her, or change the fact that she was a murderer.
She was fed up with this. She'd just sit on his damn chair and pound on any buttons she saw until he was all better. So, Mai plunked herself on the chair where she just killed his buggy friend Tek and started to smack things. The worst thing that could happen was she accidently kill herself, and that seemed a little too much like a perk at the moment to be mentally healthy.
-
No, he wouldn't remember. Most of this he wouldn't remember.
Just..leaving the planet...feeling sick...and then things would get a hell of a lot more blurry. It would pretty much be him waking up one morning and be almost...completely oblivious as to what had happened. The ship had a record...three inhabitants...one deceased....he could put that together really quickly. He wouldn't be able to put the next few things into perspective.
The pain.
It wasn't from her fists, she was barely hurting him of course, but there was something else. She was sitting on his chest, and he had right now, wrapped around his stomach, his tentacles. The barbs were cutting into his stomach, and that really hurt. His body began to thrash, his tentacles trying to escape and pull away from her, while of course...no doubt she was feeling something very interesting from around her legs as the tentacles squirmed and wriggled about. Of course, she was finally off of his stomach, and they could finally squirm about.
Skar slowly sat himself up, looking at his blood, a strange purple with flecks of gold in it. "I...Oh I've been shot I think...oh...it's not deep...Must have used light setting on it..Ah...ah...painf ul..." One finger ran over the multiple wounds on his chest, his eyes large as he raised a finger to look at the blood. His tongue came out to taste it and he gagged slightly, spitting. "Yech! I think it had a mild poison setting...geck...wi sh I had the medical kit around still...I'll be fine I'm sure." Skar didn't remember that he did have his medical kit still. It was sitting near where the gun had been actually, a small metal case with a few devices inside of it that would heal wounds and such.
Skar slumped a little bit, his head lolled back looking upward as he sighed. "I don't wanna die here...I can't die here...nothing can kill me...things can't kill me...no..." Skar was back to babbling to himself of course, incoherent mumbling and just plain strange words, probably not in the Traders tongue.
Even though she smashed on the consoles and pressed buttons, hitting levers and what not, however all the ship did was beep in response a few times before something odd finally happened. A voice spoke. It sounded like half male, and half female, it would be hard for anyone listening to figure out just what gender it could be. "System lock out. Main Pilot Skarol not detected in seat. Failsafe intitiated."
-
Mai looked over at him temporarily glaring. Hmph, she knew she needed him to stay alive... Maybe she could bribe him to letting her go home, or maybe ... promise him something, like a crap-load of treasure. Mai looked down at herself and frowned, she didn't exactly look like any high ranking creature, not wrapped up in a blanket like she was. Licking her lips Mai continued to smack at the chair until it started talking. Quickly she jumped from the chair and covered her head, then looked around, okay, nothing was going to pop out and eat her, that was good.
Snarling at the machine, she kiced at the chair, her foot slipped and smacked against something metal under it. It really hurt too. "Ow! For... " Mai snarled, hopping around on one foot, rubbing at it with her gimpy left hand, the materal wrapped around her pinky stub soothing the now red part of her barefoot. "Stupid... Male ship." She glared at the chair and ducked down to see what she smacked. Great, a metal kit of some sort. Blowing her whispy hair from her face, Mai kneeled down and pulled it from under the chair. Blinking down at it like an owl, she had no idea what it was.
She'd bet it'd explode if she opened it.
So she unclicked the locks to keep it closed and opened it up, blinking at it curiously with her large brown eyes. What the hell was it? Pursing her lips she poked at it, not at all familiar with any if all of technology. She peeked around for instructions, maybe, just maybe this was the medical kit Skar had moaned about. But how was she to know? Mai looked over her shoulder at the pathetic lump of Purple People Eater and pursed her lips, she could ask him, if she didn't get the right one at least the one she got would be entertaining.
Mai lugged the thing over, open and all and shook Skar slightly. "Skar! What is this thing? Can it help you get better?" She sat on her knees and kept poking and prodding him until he gave her an answer.
-
What could have interested a creature like Skar after all? Treasure? Hah. Just would have been more reason for people to come after him. No, that would be bad. Though, more women like her would be nice. Ones that he didn't get attached to so he could actually see what they really tasted like. He had enjoyed her pinky somewhat after all. Probably wouldn't have been best for him to think on that however, considering...his mood and what not.
He wasn't really sure what was going on at this time, but...someone was talking to him.
"Huh? Who is talking? Oh! Pyir. Yech. Ohhh so YOU have the medical kit! Well be bloody useful why don't you and help with it! Geesh. Get the molecular regenerator out and just run it over some of the wounds would ya? Should heal most of it." Skar pointed to one of the devices, it looked almost like a remote for something, with a red light on the front with a few buttons on the surface of it. There was a small screen on the front of it, right now it read "Deep Tissue Damage" which was probably the setting it needed.
"After that, see if I got a toxin in...in my...blood. It's everywhere...just use...that thing...Can't remember the name. It's got the serum maker thing...just take a sample on one end...and then let the needle come out of the other...that'll be good...I feel so...so...oh..." Skar turned to his side, once more to vomit again, though it was more bile and stomach acids. Just like last time, the ship absorbed it, and Skar wiped his mouth. "If I die here I'm going to be pissed Pyir. So you best hurry the hell up."
-
Pyir? What was a Pyir? Mai blinked down at him, her mouth pulling at a slight frown. She adjusted the make-shift toga and sighed heavily. This sucked, she wanted to go home, well, not home but certinally back to that space-thingy her brothers dumped her on, the jerks. Her brain quieted down and she stared at him and listened, what? He knew what it was? It was the medical thing!? Yay!
Wait, that would mean he'd gett-ewww. Mai decided a sick grown purple man-thing was worse than a baby, and she didn't want him accidently puking on the blankets. She frowned down at the device and poked at it, well, she could do what he said and hoped for the best. He was dilerious, for all she knew she was going to hit the button and zap him through the chest and kill him. Mai toyed with the idea, a evil dark smile on her face, than she remembered that killing was bad and that forgiving and being nice was the best thing she could ever do to the psychopathic Purple People Eater.
Mai toyed with the thing in her hand, turning it upside down and what-not before doing as he had instructed to before, pressing a few buttons before getting it right and wincing at the sight of the blood. Of course she felt a little guilty, she'd sat on his chest and made him cut himself with his tentacles. Serves him right anyway, the bastard. Mai glared down at him and did the serum thing ((I forgot <_<; )) and did all that fun stuff.
Then, Mai packed up the medical kit and sat back and waited, moving so her back was against a wall and covering herself up with the large toga-blanket. Her dark eyes glaring at him, sooner or later the shock of everything that'd happened the past day would catch up and she'd be a complete wreak, but for now she was a too-serious young lady wrapped up in an ugly blanket.
"I'm not Pyir, I'm Mai." She huffed quietly and glared again.
-
Skar lay there mostly quietly as she began to repair the torn up stomach and chest. If he had been into it, well he would probably in pain at this time. Not probably either...he would be. They were painful, and a lot of cuts along his chest. However, with the fact that his body was suppressing that pain, and now that Mai had the regenerator over his chest, he wasn't feeling anything. Just a tingling sensation as it repaired the wounds. Not to mention she was also getting rid of that virus poison that Tek had put into him. Considering what he had put her through, she was still helping him wasn't she?
Said a bit about her character.
"M-mai?" He croaked as he squinted at her. Slowly his mind was coming back to him. That was both thanks to Mai, and thanks to him being a mutant of course. Ahhh. He was soon remembering what had happened...or...at least before the sickness. There was something...it had been...been...oh yeah! Tek! He knew it had been Tek. He knew...but...
Strange things going on.
"W-why...why are you...why are you dressed like that?" He noted she had a blanket in a sort of...strange toga...Oh right. He had stowed away most of the stuff hadn't he...oh stars. What the hell had happened. Slowly getting up from the ground he shed his ripped up shirt and held a hand to his head. Okay. Gotta get in control. He was poisoned. And...and he was fine now though. Stumbling to his captains chair he sat down in it, his hands running over a few buttons. A ship was docked to his...it was Teks'. What?
"Tek...? Hailing Tek..." Nothing on the comm. In fact, there wasn't any life signs from his ship. None at all. It was empty. He reviewed the logs. Three life signs at first...and then...back to two. Skar turned the seat right around to face Mai. She killed him. She must have. He gave a cruel smile as he strolled by her to one of the hidden drawers, pulling it open. The clothes drawer actually, with all the stuff they had got from Tek. "Here you go Mai. You should get dressed. Shouldn't be wearing a blanket like that." He didn't say thanks much, or out loud, this was more of his way of saying it.
"You hungry?"
-
Looking down, she pulled her knees close to her chest and attempted to hide half of her face behind them, the long blond rope of a brain curling on the ground by her hip. Her winced and hid her face when he asked her why she was clothed in a blanket, the fabric from her other clothing lay somewhere by the door, Mai simply looked away and hid her face while he spoked and looked around. She didn't expect all this shame and fear to well up into her throat once he was awake.
Gone was the relief at being semi-alone with a half-corpse, and up was the feeling of being small and helpless. She curled closer to her chest and moved away from him when he started speaking and moving towards her. Mai closed her eyes for a moment and shuffled away and chewed on the inside of her mouth. Using every ounce of courage and brovado that she had in her small little body she stood up and picked out a pair of the bulkiest clothes in there, a long sleeved semi-turtle neck sweater along with long pants. Mai moved the blanket up and covered herself with it, hanging it on her head while she changed.
Succeeding in that, she tossed the blanket to the side, holding herself oddly, trying to keep as far away from him as possible without actually moving away.
"I.. I'm not hungry.." Mai swallowed, still too out of it mentally to want to think of eating. "I'm... Thank you though." She looked away for a moment and rubbed at her arm, feeling itchy and drained, not wanting to go to sleep but wanting to at the same time
-
She would be angry for a little while, and he was going to let her be that way. He didn't care. Though yes, she had just saved his life after all but...that was unimportant at this time. Well. Maybe not...unimportant of course but still, he didn't feel like thinking about it because it was just...disturbing. She had saved him. She must have at least used some strength to it, she must have fought off Tek and killed him, which really it was no small feat.
"Back at you." Skar murmured to her as she thanked him. He couldn't really...say it out loud. It was just...wrong. If he had been smart, and just let Tek have a romp with her, he wouldn't have been in this mess. However, she had done something to him, changed his mind, convinced him otherwise...and he hated it. This was not who he was. Then again, she was technically his slave in a way, she was his trainee, protegee...all that sort of thing. She had surely done him proud by offing Tek, and for that matter...she hadn't killed him even.
She looked beat, tired, she needed sleep. Now, how exactly would you tell someone like Mai to go to sleep after all this. He summoned the second chair for her, but designed it a bit differently. It was a bit larger, and it tilted back more, and the head rest was a bit bigger. More like a large recliner. "You should get some rest Mai." He tried to sound nice, but it was more of a command. He needed time to think. He already cut off the docking station to Tek's ship. It wouldn't have anything he needed on it, and he surely couldn't have Mai escaping on it.
Granted she couldn't pilot it but...she could no doubt survive on it and wait for someone to come rescue her. That was not something he wanted. Not after all he had done to her, and in such a short time. Heh heh.
-
((short, and I can't spell 8D))
Escaping hadn't even crossed Mais mind. Somewhat of a spoiled little princess before, she barely knew how to cook let alone keep herself alive in an unknown enviorment. And a ship that's half technology half not was a very unknown enviorment. Chewing on her lip, her eyes half closed and everything buzzed. She could barely hear him but smiled tiredly and looked wearily at the seat.
Sit in that? But it's so close where she...
Swallowing and looking down as she shuffled towards the seat, her long braid over her shoulder and being fiddled with in her hands. Clearing her throat she looked at Skar, her big brown eyes screaming sleep and being tired. Would he do anything? Mai closed her eyes for a moment and decided she didn't care. At the very worst he could rape her, and at the moment, she was too numb to even care if that happened.
Once she had sat down, she gave a soft sigh and curled up, facing away from her captor, her knees tucked close to her chest in a protective motion and her chin down on her knees. Before she could stop them, she could feel hot tears running down her face, no sobbing. Just silent tears and ragged breath.
"Are you ever going to take me home?" She whispered quietly, her voice thick and wet sounding from her tears. As tired as she was, she wanted to know this answer before she let her system shut down for as much sleep as it could get. Looking down at her hands, the left one bandaged up and missing its pinky. All in no time at all. How could she feel safe and unprotected and weak and strong all around the same person?
What kind of person was Mai? She hadn't even given the people she killed today a second thought, not a moment of mourning. After that thought of course, there was no stopping the tears and they did come out in great big sobs of breath. Her hands clamped over her face to quiet her sobbing, but not even those worked. Screw him and his thoughts of her, it felt good to cry after a few days like this.
-
Heh, wasn't that the truth. She would be stuck here wouldn't she? Not like she could go anywhere at this point. Silly little Mai. She needed sleep no doubt, the girl would need it after whatever had happened to her. Ergh. Maybe he should do something nice to her...he'd have to think on that sort of thing. On a sort of...present for having put her through all that sort of thing.
If he had been smart, he should have just let Tek have his way with her.
Too late for that. Jerk was dead now. Not a big loss of course.
Putting his legs up he yawned slightly and hoped that nothing bad could happen. He set in a course and led the ship go whatever way it wanted to go. It was good like that, sort of like roulette really. It went where it wanted to go. He sorta of liked that idea, he hoped that it would be summer nice. Who knew what it wanted after a big meal like it just had. It might want to go hibernate. Hah. Yeah right. He wasn't going to fall for that again. Three years on a cold planet.
Blech.
"...I don't know Mai." He told her quietly, shaking his head. He didn't. He really wished he did. He never...did though but Mai was so...different. Kaoli had been normal for him but...Mai was just...why was she so different for him? He didn't like it, he really didn't. It was so strange and...just....well. ..bad.
Odd for him, very odd for him.
Slowly Skar could hear her. She was...ah he knew she was crying. Oh yes. She was crying. That was probably best really? She needed to to cry. She really needed to just let it all out then. He reached out to her and put a hand on her back. Ugh. Why did he feel like being...comforting. That wasn't him was it? Whatever. His hand made...slow circles, trying to just...he wasn't sure. Help her?
"Go ahead and cry...you do deserve it after...all the time." It hadn't been that long either, what...a day and a half maybe but...all she had gone through...yeah she really deserved the cry.
-
The tears were hot as they rolled down her cheeks. Her breath hiccuped and she curled up tightening, feeling a hand on her back through the thick shirt she wore, leaning away a tiny bit. Damn right she deserved it, being almost raped by a giant bug and having a pinkie bitten off. Swallowing and trying to quiet her sobs, the hand just rubbed a slow circle and Skar spoke, said it was okay.
Of course she completely broke and rolled over, all but flinging herself at him. Arms wrapped around his middle and her face tucked into the crook of his neck, not completely sobbing anymore, but still crying. Quiet sniffles and the odd hiccup. Her left hand, the one without the pinkie grabbed around and rested on his shoulder blade.
"Your... Your bug friend tried to rape me!" She started yelling at him, accusingly, hitting him half-heartedly. "And I shot him! I've never had to.. had to sit on someone naked and s.. shoot them!" swallowing a sob. "And you were sick! I thought you were going to die, and you called me all these funny names and.. and."
Closing her eyes and moving as close as she could, all but sitting on him now, she quietly realized just what she was doing and leaned away, a light blush on her cheeks, making the tear stains all the brighter. Clearing her throat she leaned away and say back on her chair, looking down, the tips of her ears hot with her mild embarrassment at having just thrown herself on her captor.
"I.. I'm sorry."
A quiet apology and she moved herself, sitting hunched over, her hands on either side of her thighs, and her head down.
-
Well he didn't...think that his kind words would make THIS happen. This of course was her suddenly just...well she jumped him. At first he thought she was attacking him but then she just wrapped her ams about him, and her face against his neck. She was still crying through, quietly though....and then....
Well he just let her start hitting him.
All he could think about was just how sexy she must have looked. Yeah. Wouldn't mind dying like that. Just better hope when I see her completely naked she doesn't end up shooting me. Heh. Hope it's the other way around. Ah, his little pervy thoughts. Yes, Skar was back. What an amazing thing! "I was...confused...I didn't know where I was...I think I knew who I was." Oh Stars he wondered just what he had said. HE had lived a while, seen some things, done some things, no doubt he had been babbling a lot to himself. Or at least...he apparently he had been babbling a lot to her.
He just smirked as she noticed finally what she was doing. Sitting right in his lap. Heh heh. He did like that. Of course, suddenly she was moving away from him, back to her chair. Heh heh. That was pretty cute. He had to admit it. Poor girl.
"It's...alright. You didn't hurt me." She hadn't hit hard enough after all. She wasn't trying probably.
"Just relax. Let's...go find a place to set down and have...something to eat." He was famished actually. His throat hurt a little, he must have...expelled bile and what not. Yech. That was nasty. He needed something to drink and eat. Well then, time to find a planet to settle down on.
"Beside your home world or any sort of planet that could return you home, any preference as to what sort of world we land on? Desert, Forest, Ice Fields, Beach, Volcano?"
-
A quiet sigh of relief when he said she hadn't hurt him. She remembered the cuts she'd accidentally made on his chest, but of course those were from him. She'd just applied the.. erm.. pressure. She still felt bad for smacking him, maybe because he was the only person until forever. Mai paled a little and drooped down a little more, her hands lightly clasped in front of her. She quickly looked up, sneaking a peek at her purple captor.
Even though Mai had no appetite, she figured that it would be best to eat something. Though coming from Skar she slowly curled in on herself, hiding her hands under her arms and tucking her legs under her. She eyed him and quickly looked away nodding ever so slightly, even tilting her head away from him, just in case he found her ears tasty looking. " Please don't eat me..." She said, looking away, a light blush on her cheeks. What else was she to assume? Mai didn't even know he could eat normal food, maybe it had to be raw humanoid flesh.
She shuddered and pictured her pinkie bone, cleaned of flesh and muscle when she spat it at her. Mai swallowed and closed her eyes for a moment before pulling her thick rope like braid over her shoulder, it easily reached the chair and she poked it a few times. She looked up at him when he asked her what kind of world she'd like to land on. Blinking she listened to his options, desert was a no-go. Mai had had enough of deserts, forest was already done.
Mai lowered her head, remembering the lovely sleep she'd ruined by waking up in the dark. Shivering slightly she rubbed an arm and tried to smile up at him under her long white-blonde bangs. "I.. Ice fields.... Are... No thank you." She smiled slightly, just in case ice was something he liked. "But a beach. I'm never seen a beach. We have sand on my planet, but no oceans." Volcanoes? Ew. That sounded hotter than a desert. No thank you.
Twitching every now and then she looked away and towards him Mai couldn't really decided if she wanted to watch Skar and try and hide from him.
-
He'd much rather prefer her start hitting him with fists than sitting on his chest and cutting it up. That was just a little more painful really. She just needed a little outlet was all, and he could happily give it to her. Heh. That almost sounded dirty didn't it? Ahem. He kept an ear open for her thoughts, trying to figure out just what was going on in that mind of hers. What was she feeling, what was she thinking, what was going on in her mind.
Skar raised an eyebrow as she actually spoke to him and he just sighed. "I'm not going to eat you Mai." He only ate people like her when he ran out of uses for her, and she still had tons of them at this time. He hadn't even broken her in sexually yet! So she had to stay alive at least until then! Couldn't have her falling into comas or going into shock after all. He needed her awake and responsive!
Why he had even suggested ice fields was beyond him. He was a creature who ENJOYED heat after all, and despised the cold. There was nothing colder than an endless expanse of ice. That was...yeah that had been a mistake to even say. Even Mai had caught that and said no. "Beach it is. See if I can't get the ship to find us one then." He locked in a few coordinates, trying and hopefully finding a planet that had a beach. It would take a little time to get there, the ship couldn't just tear a hole in the universe right now, so they weren't going faster than light.
Damn it all.
"Well...I'm starved." Skar stood up and headed to the back of the ship retrieving a few things from one of the Non-Kyori compartments. He placed them in a different compartment, two plates, and turned a strange knob on the wall. "You should probably eat too Mai. It's not people, I promise." He had no need to make her eat someone after all, he usually made that a test of some sort, and really....she had saved his life, so he might as well be nice to her right? That was...not exactly a foreign concept, a lot of the women he brought with him saved his life at one point or another after all. Though, he usually wasn't this nice to them...usually they had already been broken and couldn't help but want to keep him alive.
Mai was just...probably in the same boat, but less broken.
-
Rubbing at her hands, which felt ice cold to her - Probably still a few degrees hotter than an average human - she looked around. Dark brown eyes looked around and then fell to the tops of her knees. Mai wasn't used to feeling awkward. She rubbed her lips with the back of her hand and rubbed her breast bone. Her head was still reeling and she felt like she had bugs all over.
Mai stared unfocused ahead of her as her brain replayed the past two days.
Worst days of her life.
She'd even lost a finger.
A hiccup left her lips and she rubbed at her eyes furiously. No cry! Crying was bad! A breathy sob and she pressed her forehead to her knees and covered her ears. It was a moment before she started to take deep even breaths and pulled herself away from the edge. Uncurling herself, she steeled her nerves and looked at Skar, her lower lip poking out and her eyes all red and watery. Sniffing and wiping at her eyes again she nodded at him when he mentioned something not being people.
Probably food.
Her stomach grumbled quietly and she blushed and looked away while rubbing at her breast bone. She wanted to scream. She wanted to cry like a little baby, but she wouldn't! Mai was a strong girl she wouldn't break down and she wouldn't be weak and she sure as heck wouldn't be eaten by Skar!
"Thank you." Her voice was shakey and she offered him a bit of a smile. "I'd very much like so.." She cleared her throat and moved the hand rubbing her breast bone to rubbing her arm. "Some food."
She sallowed again and looked down. "Does the feeling like bug are crawling over me ever go away?"
-
Skar wasn't really sure that he could figure out what was going on with Mai. He wasn't sure he wanted to...things were just...so weird at this time between them. Considering everything going on..? She didn't really seem like she was holding her mind all that well. She'd be back to normal soon though. Well. Kinda. She'd have to have a nice rest...something he could do actually. Just sort of...knock her out with his powers. That would probably be the smartest thing to do at this point.
It would make it so she didn't have to deal with her dreams.
Food time though.
He started to get things out. Cooking was done instantly almost thanks to his ship. Just a quick drop into a compartment and it was all done. He had to cut it all up and maybe spice it a little bit but that was about it. He didn't really know cooking but he could get by. It wouldn't usually matter to him but he had a companion so...it meant he had to at least try? Bah.
"Well I'll be done in a just a little bit." He was just finishing things off actually. Putting them onto plates and making sure she'd have enough to be full. And not so much for him. He still wanted to be completely sure he'd be able to keep it down and not let the ah...ship have his meal.
"Bugs...crawling over you?" He asked as he approached her, handing a plate and sitting down. What...hrm. She felt dirty then. Now was that physical or mental or perhaps a bit of both. Well, that could be easily fixed really. The ship was able to provide shower services. He probably should have told her about all of this of course. That would have been the really intelligent thing to do of course.
"It will...you're just dirty...feel free to use the shower Mai. Just go to the back of the ship...grab that little handle and pull. It'll make a curtain around you and and then the knobs and shower nozzle will appear and you can get clean. I promise I can't see through it...after a good shower, some food, and a long sleep you'll be fine...you'll...feel better at least." at least he thought so...he couldn't honestly be sure either. He'd never had someone go through this. He tried his best to look supportive of course.
-
Mai stared blankly at Skar rubbing her arms and thighs. Zoning out too much to notice much else than Skar mentioned and ask her about bugs. What bugs? Brown eyes looked down at her clothed legs as her nails dug into the skin and remembered. Oh. Right. Bugs. Taking a deep breath she forced herself to look at Skar while she pulled her fingers out of her legs.
A shower? What was a shower? Mai blinked a few times before thinking of the funny words they used when she was on the space station. Oooh, a bath. That sounded nice, now that she felt it, besides the psychological bugs that crawled all over her, she was ... Dirty. Mai moved her hand to the back of her neck to pull the braid over her shoulder, slowly undoing it until it left her hair lose and wavy. It easy fell past her bottom in its white blonde waves.
Because showering was a rather public event where she was from, it being a very dry planet and the only water there being from underground made it rare to be able to actually bathe alone. She'd been able to once or twice, besides, bathing with someone meant you got your back washed.
While she moved to the back of the ship, her foot steps careful and quiet, bare against the floor she was naked before she even pulled the little handle down. When she got naked by her own choice, Mai had no problems with it. Getting clothes torn from her body? That was a different case. Mai opened the curtain and moved off to the side, assuming Skar and his people, like Mai and hers, bathed together.
Just a little nervous, he'd bitten off a finger and been puking before, ew, she swallowed and cleared her throat. "Are you coming? I... We bathe in groups where I'm from... and... Um... It's... You... " Mai gnawed on her lip and pursed her lips, wondering how to phrase it. "It saves water. And water is... important." She nodded and moved her hair to cover her breasts, feeling a little more than nervous. Being naked was normal for Lucidius, though, being naked in front of someone of the same species as her near-rapist didn't make her feel very safe.
"Ah.. You don't have to... Just.." Mai figured her logic was sound. "Saves water." A solemn nod and she looked back to the wall with the nozzle thing and knobs. "I don't know how to work it anyway..."
-
Poor girl was just broken wasn't she? He hoped that she really wasn't, because then he'd have to really do some work for her. Like really play around with her mind and that was a huge danger to say the least. He might end up taking away something from her mind that he shouldn't. Make her forget how to breathe or something like that.
Skar just started to eat, enjoying his little meal. It wasn't even Kaoli but it was actually delicious. That was good. He didn't much care for the bits of vegetables and what not but...he would stomach them somehow. They did make a good filler. That was all that was important at this point. He sat back, not even really paying attention to her at this point. Let her do her stuff even though, you know, getting naked would be something interesting to watch. Not like he hadn't seen everything of course.
He cast a glance toward her though for a moment, catching the sight of her nude which made him smile slightly. Alright. Maybe he'd look a few times of course. He was still a man after all. And a cute woman getting undressed without any real problem...which was odd. She had seemed rather embarrassed by him trying to do anything but now suddenly she was alright with it? Geez. He'd never understand that. Granted he could just read her mind and find out but...what was the fun in that?
He went back to his food though, picking at it and finally just putting it down. Blech. Only vegetables left, and he didn't much feel like eating it. It was just...vegetables. The meat had been the best part though.
Skar looked up to her with a raised eyebrow for a moment, wondering just what she wanted to know. Oh ho ho...This was a very interesting turn of events now wasn't it? He smirked slightly at her as he turned to watch her carefully. Alright. Now what was this then? Sounded like it could be fun actually. Great time to test the waters too. Heh heh heh. He could have a lot of fun with this if he played it all right. Standing up he smirked and nodded. "It's very important to save water. we've only got a limited amount anyway." And showering naked with her? He didn't mind that all. He approached her finally, stripping his clothes off one by one now. He wasn't the least bit embarrassed about himself, he didn't have a reason to be.
He was technically superior to the species on his planet after all. So he felt really good about that sort of thing! He liked his body, though the flayer tentacles did make it a little weird once in a while of course. He entered the shower with her, pulling the shower completely closed now. "It's not that difficult really." He reached out and took a hold of the knob on the left. Granted they weren't labelled but he knew which one to use. Turning it the water came on instantly. Hot water. Just a slight bit hotter than the temperature in the spaceship actually. He liked it though, it was nice. The water that came down was enough to cover the both of them at least, hosing them down quite a bit. Oh it felt good actually...oh it felt really nice.
Maybe Mai had the right idea, the shower would do wonders. Now they would need soap. Even Skar knew of soap. His people had it too after all. His soap was able to get rid of a lot of the bad germs and stuff, and it also smelled suspiciously of mangoes and lavender, not a bad smell actually. He put his hand against the wall for a moment and a small sort of dip opened up with a rectangular bar that was peach coloured and a strange bottle. Shampoo. Had to keep his hair all nice after all. All smooth and silky.
"Get your hair wet and I'll put some shampoo in it." First was to be very...uninterested . Then to slowly move in for something a little more subtle. He had to be careful with her. Didn't want her to feel anymore dirty. That would mean more work for him!
-
A friendly smile was on her face as he got undressed to join her for the shower. Odd, being naked with someone to bathe was different for her than being naked by their choice. Mai pushed her hair over her shoulder and leaned away from her when he came into the stall. He smelt like food. Mai remembered seeing some sort of food thing he was picking at before he agreed about saving water. See? She had good ideas!
The eating habits of her people was meat, meat and more meat. The only thing that survived was big scary animals, she recalled that one bit off her older brothers arm. It was weird eating THAT animal for dinner after it ate her siblings arm. Momentarily Mai wondered if that made her a cannibal. Very rarely did they get roots or vegetables. A rare cuisine for her, she looked at Skar like he was crazy for not eating them.
A sprinkle of hot water hit her side and Mai's body instantly cooled down so it could soak up the heat and not match it. A little squeak of surprise and she wrapped her arms around herself, looking at it with wide eyes. Oh, shower. Like rain! She'd never seen that though, so it took a while before she made that connection and once she did, she was already being told to get her hair wet. All of it? Mai looked up at Skar, shrugged her shoulders and leaned into the spray, tilting her head back and getting her long blond hair wet, her arms going up and pulling it up off her back.
Mai had a lot of hair, it was thin though so it wasn't heavy. Except now of course, it was completely wet and stuck up entangled in her arms which were up and bent by her head. Unfortunately for Skar, displaying her chest. Of course she didn't care, this was bath time! No need to be shy during bath-time. Mai didn't even eye Skar's 'general area', of course she looked at his tentacles, weird things. Mai pursed her lips and turned her back towards Skar and moved her heads, letting the wet mop of hair flop onto her back.
"Is shampoo good? We have soap where I'm from, but I've never heard the word shampoo before." A quick peek over her shoulder up at Skar and she crossed her arms under her breasts and waited for this 'shampooing' to happen. She assumed there was soap of some sort involved.
-
She was a whole different person when she wasn't being forced to do anything, was she? It was kind of...confusing but also somewhat refreshing. Heh, maybe the shower would be a neutral place. No hate, no focus of abuse, just...getting clean and relaxed. It did seem to help his personality to some degree. Just made him seem a lot more calmer than the tense and agitated Skarol that was usually about. Or the mean and sadistic one.
He smirked at her sudden squeak when the water hit her. Did they not have showers? Rain? Ah right. Yeah it was like rain kinda. Though a lot more water involved. A lot more. Damn. He was glad there was a lot of shampoo...her hair along was going to take a lot of it. He smirked as he watched her carefully. She wasn't shy at all. This was interesting. She didn't seem to care, and he did his best not to just...enjoy the sights of her naked body everywhere. That would be rude no doubt. Or something. Why should he even care what she thought? If he wanted to look than he could!
Later.
He almost felt hurt that she didn't ah, drink him in. Save for his tentacles. Weird?! They were...weird kinda but...she didn't have to think it. Pah. Well, whatever. This was just...bath time for her. Not anything else. Yet. He had a few plans of some sort.
"I picked it up actually from you people. Or I think it was you people. Not...your people but I guess the people of Sol." He didn't believe the claims but his hair did look shinier and was stronger after the first few times he used it. He'd been picking it up at planets and outposts that carried it. It apparently hadn't been limited to Sol, a lot of planets had it, just under different names. Since he was in the Sol System, he'd use the Sol name...which was shampoo.
He began to pour some out in his hands, starting to lather it into her hair. There was a lot of bloody hair here! He had to use about half a bottle just to lather up the entire length of it, making sure to scrub it in good so that it would get all the dirt out of it. "Alright. just wait a minute or two for it to soak, then wash it out. Now here, switch places with me." He shifted around her, his tentacles all pressing and wrapping around his torso so he didn't cut her or slice her up. Skar got his hair soaked, undoing the pony tail as well and then he began to lather up his hair, which made him look strange to say the least, considering that it made big white bubbles over the dark blue hair. He probably looked a little humorous to say the least. If this was going to be a ritual for them, he'd have to get another shower nozzle so he could also get poured on, and they didn't have to change places like this.
"Okay, you can wash your hair now." He eve kept his eyes above her neck, how nice of him! Who said he couldn't be civil?
-
While they bathed together, they hadn't done more than wash one anothers backs. Mai wondered why, getting someone else to wash your hair felt wonderful. A silly grin drew over her lips and she let her head flop back, feeling a little guilty about having so much hair but it felt so nice. Mai made a near purring noise when he washed her hair, gooseflesh rose on her arms and she moved her hands to rub at her forearms. "It tingles," She said quietly before he finished and they switched places. Brushing against him on her way past.
A light blush stained her cheeks and she quickly looked up and away from him. Dark brown eyes flicked at him every now and then, subtly scanned him up and down. The blush grew deeper and she quickly looked away, pushing the soapy hair up and off her forehead, soap hurt when it got into her eyes. Of course she saw him when he had the suds in his hair, fortunately for Skarol, and unfortunately for Mai, she was looking at something else. The tall tips of her ears turned red with her blush and she quickly ducked her head under the spray.
Finger combing the soap out of her thick while she was under there, with her eyes closed because of the water, for a good few minutes, hands working in the white-blonde mop. A content sigh and Mai smiled up at Skarol and pushed her wet hair from her eyes. "Oh... I'll need to brush it." Mai had a mild look of horror, she didn't want to imagine how tangled it would be after he washed it.
Yikes.
((Baah, short X_x))
-
He was rather surprised by her sudden change. She was almost dopey in a way. Not that Skar didn't like it, oh no, he enjoyed it. There was just a different part to her he hadn't seen. Heh. Now he had seen everything of her. She was something to keep around at least for the foreseeable future. Heh. He pointedly decided not to pay attention to her as she scrubbed through his hair. "Yeah, it'll do that. That means that it's working." He told her simply as he continued to massage the shampoo into his scalp.
Oh he knew that she was looking. He was psychic after all. It was right in her mind's eye for that matter. Heh. Did she like what she saw then? The mad blushing coming from her he couldn't quite get an accurate read off of her. Maybe. Perhaps she had just never seen one, or at least, not when she was ah...of age for it to mean anything.
Mmm, experimentation?
He moved over for her to get by and start washing the soap from her hair with the hot water. "I've got brushes, we can worry about that after. You need to get clean. Use the soap." He told her as he handed her the bar and moved her out of his way again so he could get at his own hair, washing the shampoo from the bubbly depths. Ahhh. That was much better. It didn't take him as long to get his hair free of shampoo, but he stayed under it for a little while longer. It felt good. Vaguely he remembered that she would need a towel. He didn't. He absorbed the excess water and processed it that way.
"D'you need me to get your back?" He asked idly as he turned to face her, a sopping wet eyebrow raised as he watched her. Heh. Soapy Mai.
-
Nodding solemnly, Mai stole another glance before turning around to grab the soap.
Hmmm...
A legitimate reason to touch him!
Mai moved the bar of soap between her hands and aimed for his chest but before she could reach it, the damn thing slipped out of her hands and jumped over her shoulder. Mai stared at Skarols chest for a moment, her big brown eyes blinking before she turned around and bent over to get it. At the waist. Very clearly, she'd never bathed with a man before and didn't quite know how sex worked.
Oh well. Poor Skar.
Mai shot back up quickly, her long blond hair flipping up and back, very likely smacking Skar somewhere before she turned around holding the soap triumphantly in her hands. Cupping it so it couldn't slip away. "Ah! I got the soap!" A bright grin was on her face, and she reached up to move some hair that had tangled around her long pointed ears and spitting hair out of her mouth.
As fast as that, her hand, one on the bar pressed against his chest, and the other soapy hand rubbing at his upper chest and very gently she went through his tentacles, her dexterious little fingers gently pulling them until she'd managed to lather all of them up, too. Flashing Skar a big grin she pushed him under the spray and went after his back stopping at his hips, when her hands went around to wash his lower tummy, too, not too low, but low enough.
"I.. Ah.. You can wash the rest." Mai blushed brightly and then smiled, but the bar of soap into his hand and finger combed the front parts of her hair.
-
If she had never had a sex education class, well, Skar was REALLY going to teach her. Soon. When the time was appropriate. Because you know, standing naked in a shower with her naked and...everyone was relaxed and happy didn't make it a good time. No no. They had to get clean after all.
He was surprised as she came after him suddenly with the bar of soap, blinking as the soap just jumped from her hands and over her shoulder then. Alright, that was...interesting wasn't it? He gave a shrug but his full attention was back to her as she turned about and suddenly bent over. Oh. Alright Skarol. Focus. On...that...beautif ul...NO! It was probably not a very good idea to do that. Might just scare her off. Ahem. He focused on other things, though his eyes were surely affixed to staring at her.
Thankfully she was standing up once more.
You know, before he stood up.
"Oh, that's good then." Suddenly she was upon him, starting to...soap him down. What? He thought she just wanted to hand it to him. Al-alright. That was find by him actually. He watched her carefully as she started to run the soap over him. She even...managed to lather his tentacles up without causing the barbs to rip up the soap bar. That was rather amazing. He just let her do what she wanted, pushing him under the water to wash himself off as well and washing at his back and..then his lower stomach as well. Her hands were just everywhere and damned if he didn't love it either. It was very...very...sensu al even.
He just made sure not to really...ah...jump.
"Yeah, I think...I can handle that part but...let's get you cleaned first." He held the soap and approached her. Alright, well here went nothing. He was very good about, careful with her as he started on her shoulders and arms. Then he took a deep breath and started to work on her chest. He was gentle about going along her breasts, not spending too much time before he went to her stomach, stopping just above the waist. That's when he moved her to the shower spray to start on her back.
Of course...he was perhaps a little more adventurous than her, already his hands might have roamed a bit further than hers had dared...though, he decided to be good and move along her rear somewhat quickly, though a quick squeeze and he was soon onto her legs suddenly, having to kneel slightly to get the back and front of her calves. Heh, he didn't mind this view at all. However he stood up and grinned, allowing her to wash the soap from herself. Man. This was such a...fun adventure. He'd have to remember it.
"There, all nice and clean now Mai. Well. Mostly. You can do the rest I hope..."
-
A bright smile and then a shocked expression.
What was he doing?
Why wasn't he cleaning himself?
She sputtered silently when he started to clean her arms and shoulders, then wriggled silently once he got to her chest. A bit of a blush on her cheeks, sure she was used to other people touching her to clean her. They weren't Skarol though. Mai lifted a hand to rub at the blush on her cheeks, she could feel it's heat and she quickly ducked her head and lifted her hair over her shoulder to hold it up and out of the way while Skar washed her back and...
"W..What are you doing?" Mai jumped slightly when she felt hands on her bottom, though not quick enough, a squeeze of his hands and they were on her legs. The blush was even brighter against her lightly tanned skin and she quickly ducked her head and ran her hands over the front of her body to wash off the soap while trying to wiggle away from Skar and his hands on her legs.
A hand ran over the soap suds on her bottom and Mai quickly turned around to wash her back off, her mop of tangled hair over her shoulder. "I..I could wash myself." Mai cleared her throat and quickly looked away while she washed the rest of herself after stealing the soap from Skarol. "But thank you." A smile and Mai, after giving herself a check over to make sure all the soap suds were gone, left through the curtain and looked around, not really wanting to wear the coarse material again.
So, standing, dripping water onto the inside of his ship. Mai finger combed her massive amounts of hair, which looked like so much more when it was wet. "S-skar? When you're done, could you find me different clothes? I... don't like the ones I had on... And they're too prickly to use as a towel." Mai looked around for a place to sit, wandering around slightly, the sopping wet hair swaying back and forth, sprinkling the ground with water. Sure she felt a little for getting everything wet, but oh well, it was just water.
-
Heh heh, it was only fair to do unto her what she had done to him! Oh and he was a pervert so...really he just wanted an excuse to really touch her. And what a great excuse at that. Showering with her! He'd have to keep this in mind. Would she ask him to join her every time then? Oooh he couldn't wait to get her dirty again. He almost deliberately wanted to go find a muddy planet now. Almost.
"Washing you of course." And of course, checking out her bottom of course. He had almost decided to go ahead and just clean her front but something told him that might get a knee jerk reaction out of her. Knees often had an excellent time finding places that hurt. Faces, groins, funny bones, it was best not to try anything with that.
"You're quite welcome." He gave a nod of his head, smiling right back at her. Eyes above...the ah...waist. Yeah. That would work for him. He took the soap from her and began to clean the rest of himself off. He had to admit, he had some very powerful control NOT to have gotten excited during that little time. He'd have to give himself a treat later.
Heh, that sounded dirty.
"Hm? Oh...that's right." He closed his eyes for a moment and focused on the ship. Up above the clothing compartment slowly opened up. Towel...towel...ah. Liquid absorbing blanket. It was big enough for Mai to almost completely wrap around herself. The strange ocean blue garment suddenly launched from the compartment like it had been spit out, landing with a small thump on the floor beside Mai. "There you go. Don't worry about dripping though, the ship just absorbs it." Then it processes it, cleans it, sterilizes it and stores it in the tank for later when they want to have a shower again.
Good old ship.
Skar was soon done, just a once over to ensure everything was clean and free of soap. Turning the knobs the water shut off and he opened the curtain, sliding it back into its hiding spot. The knobs and nozzle retracted and were once more invisible until needed. She would note that he appeared almost completely dry now, except for his hair. That always took a little bit longer, his scalp had a hard time absorbing liquid. He stretched for a moment before he looked up at the open compartment. Clothes for Mai...and for himself. Right. Probably should put something on. He scaled the walls, those big strange feet of his clinging to the walls as he scaled them.
Like a big naked purple spiderman.
He began to gather up some clothes for Mai and for himself. Hopping down from the compartment he smiled at her as he handed her some. He wasn't sure what he'd picked but he picked lighter things for her. Not as good as her first outfit but...they would be somewhat similar. His own clothes were nothing more than a pair of boxers, some green pants with billowed pant legs, and a grey vest with an abstract black design running around it. Simple really, that's all he wanted. He got dressed rather quickly and took a seat back in the captain's chair. Now...to figure out where to fly the ship to.
-
Jumping to the side slightly, having been startled by the thump of the towel to the ground beside her. Clearing her throat and looking around pretending to not have just been scared of a towel, she quickly grabbed it and began to dry herself off. Running the towel delicately up her long pointed ears before drying off every where else. Mai was bent over drying her hair when she quickly stood up and remembered that she was naked.
In front of Skar.
A bright blush stained her cheeks and she quickly stole the clothes he found for her and put them on before drying her hair again. Which was now an evil mat of tangles.
"Skar? Do you have a brush? My hair..." Mai pulled at it with her fingers, wincing when the fine blonde hair snagged and yanked on her head. "S'all knotty" She moved and kneeled beside the chair he was sitting in and looked up at him. The white fabric of her new outfit felt wonderful on her skin, it hung in all the right placed and covered enough to keep prying eyes away but left enough of it exposed to not leave much to the imagination.
"Why'd you wash my hair so rough?" Of course the only thing she'd whine about today would be him washing her hair wrong.
-
It seemed to take poor Mai a few minutes to realize that she was naked. Of course, her bending over made him grin again. Oh this was just too...perfect. It took a lot of will power for Skar not to reach out and touch her. However, he had to get dressed, and he really didn't want to touch her and scare her. Still. There was some fun that could be had here...but that was probably good for later actually. Maybe make her jump a bit. Not like he hasn't already got to touch her quite a bit. To distract her of course! Yeah.
"Hm? A brush? Yeah..." Well, it would figure that HER hair would get all knotty. There was so star damned much of it! IT was just everywhere. He looked over to her, where she was kneeling, smiling a little bit. He reached out and ran his hand carefully over her hair. "Because there is so much of it Mai, that's why." He told her as he stood up and headed for the back of the ship again. The compartment was open still and he looked up at it, focusing on it. A brush flew out of it, which he managed to snatch from the air.
Skar went back to his chair and took a seat, pulling her up onto his lap suddenly. He tried to be gentle and not just...tear her arm off as he pulled her up, or dislocate it. That's when he began to start brushing through her hair. He was actually very careful with the knots, trying not to tug it out. "If you think I'm braiding your hair or anything like that, you can forget." He almost thought about just cutting it. He could that easily with one tentacle. Just SNIP! And it was all gone. However, that would probably make her angry at him and then he'd be in trouble.
He really didn't want that, considering he'd have to make it up to her or something like that. It just seemed like some real trouble. "So do you remember where we were supposed to go? I got distracted by that...shower."
-
Brown eyes fluttered when she felt herself being pulled up to sit on the chair, a light gasp and she froze for a second, completely tense. What was he going to do? Mais mind reeled as she prepaired herself for the worst. Of course, hair brushing had completely left her mind and she visibly sunk and sighed in relief when she felt him gently tugging the knots out of her hair. A light smile played on her lips and she could feel the darker eyelid closing, which it did when she was completely relaxed and content.
Eyes still completely black, she looked over her shoulder and ran a hand through her hair. “Oh… I can braid it.” Mai smiled slightly, looking intensly more feral with the extra black eyelid. Mai barely noticed, her eyes were half closed anyway. Slowly she scooted back a little more and pressed her back against him.
Mai wanted to hate him, she really did. Though it seemed odd, when she was nice, he was nice. When she didn’t listen or made a fuss, he was mean. She didn’t need to be a genius to figure it out.
Be nice to Skar, and he’ll be nice to you! Seemed simple enough.
“Ah… We were going to go to a beach.” Mae nodded running a hand down her front to smooth the fabric across her chest. “Because my planet has no beaches, and they’re warm and sunny and they have oceans” A smile and Mai stared off in front of herself, then she blinked and sat back up and looked over her shoulder, pulling her hair and quickly braiding it, tying a knot at the end to keep it that way.
putting the rope of a braid behind her head she turned to face him and tilted her head. “How come the shower made you forget where we were going…?” Her hands were on his shoulders to steady herself, the extra black eyelids down, making her white hair all the more white against her tanned skin.
-
How could she be so afraid? To think that she expected the worse of him! Her thoughts were adorable though, to think that she was so...nervous about all of this. Well. She really didn't know his true motives now did she? After all, he had just gotten to feel her up in the shower, and that was when she was completely nude as well. That had been an experience to say the least, one that could keep him warm on cold nights. Not that he'd ever have a really cold night but still.
Skar gave a small nod of his head, smiling slightly. "That's good. It seems like it will be a lot of trouble, but I guess if you've had it for so long it's probably second nature." Skar would have liked to perhaps remove some of that hair, but she seemed to like it. He'd make it one of his threats though. Like eating her. Always just threats.
He was pretty much in heaven as she scooted against him, he back against his chest. Heh. He was right about one thing. She would make a very nice space warmer! She was very warm after all, and now she was starting to like him even, or in the very least, not fear him too much.
"Ah that's right, the beach." How could he forget that much? That was another place that no doubt was going to be really really fun. Considering what he could tell her to do there and she wouldn't have any idea. Like swimming in the nude. If he picked the right place, they wouldn't have to worry about people being there to disturb them. "Then I promise we'll go to a beach and you can see the ocean." Or at least one ocean since...there was thousands of them. Not on the same planet of course but in the system.
He grinned at her as she turned about to face him, her hands on his shoulders even. His own hands went out to her sides and he slowly ran them along her body, fingers running along her rear before sliding to her legs. "I'm not used to having a naked woman in the shower with me. Caught me off guard seeing every little inch of you." He grinned at her, not sure what to do. Should he tell her that it was very erotic to him? Would that be a good idea really?
"I have to admit, I very much enjoyed it...plus the way you...handled that soap." One of the most erotic things to him was her ability to soap down all of his tentacles without scraping the soap or tugging the barbs in a painful way. She hadn't even been hurt by them...it was...grand really.
Taking her to the beach would be her reward. Maybe on the beach he'd teach her about sex even! She really didn't seem to understand it at all. That was obvious from the way she bent over in the shower. He could have taken her right then and there. Hrm. If he taught her about sex, no doubt she wouldn't like the shower that much anymore, or she'd be very...wary of him. Well, he'd burn that bridge when they came to it. Right now he let go of her with one hand, reaching over to the console to enter a destination. The ship would find what he wanted, which was a planet suitable for living, and had water. Oceans and all that. Not just lakes, but full blown oceans. The ship was already preparing for a jump. Heh heh, he told it to be a little rough and let the shields warble and falter a bit.
That was so the ship would rock and buck. Which, when it punctured the hole in the fabric of space and time, the entire ship felt like it was shaking just a bit more than usual. Which knocked him and Mai off balance. He managed to...catch himself and her somewhat, though the ground wasn't that hard. Though now he was laying on top of her with a slight grin on his face. "Well hello there."
-
Not a single idea was hitting her head as to why he was talking about having a shower like it was intimate or sexy. It was water! And Soap! And sure there were naked bodies, but they weren’t doing anything on purpose so they didn’t count. Mai eyed Skar before he mentioned her handling of the soap, she took it as a good compliment because she managed to clean so well, a bright smile was on her face.
Then a sudden burst of moment from the ship and Mai squeaked and wrapped herself around the nearest thing – Skar. Her arms wrapped up around his shoulders, her face buried in his neck, her legs wrapped around his waist, and it wasn’t until he said hello that she let herself let go and slump to the ground. “What was that? Are we okay? Are you okay?” Mai looked up, worried and frightened.
The ship jerked and bucked and he was laying there on top of her like it was planned! They could be in serious trouble. “We could be in serious trouble!” She voiced her thoughts and wiggled under him, her hips moving up to buck him off and her hands pushing at his shoulders. Eventually she gave up when she realized that this probably was planned.
Hmph. “You could have hurt my head.” She said before laying flat under her captor and glaring off past his head, “Or my ears. They’re sensitive you know.”
-
For Skar it was pretty damn sexy actually. He really loved it. It had been just perfect, not too arousing but still, gave him some very very good images to remember for the lonely nights. If there would be any, with Mai around like this...heh, it would probably not be too lonely for him. Oh he'd be in some very good company. She seemed to brighten up well enough really, that is of course until the ship started to lurch and buckle.
That's when she got a bit...skared. Heh heh. Her arms and legs wrapped about him and she buried her face into his neck. Aww. That felt very...very good actually. Heh heh. He grinned inwardly as he just watched her, smiling now. "Yeah, I'm fine." Aww, she was worried! "I think we'll be okay."
He could only chuckle as she voiced more concerns, her body wiggling and her hips moving up to try and buck him off, her hands pushing at him. Ooo. This was very nice...so very nice. He just grinned as she figured it out finally, moving down to nuzzle her neck, taking a deep breath. Such a nice scent...very nice. "Oh I was careful don't worry. The ground is soft anyway." He told her as he looked to her ears. "Oh dear, well, I was very careful with your ears I'm hoping. We wouldn't want to hurt those beautiful long ears of yours." Slowly Skar stood up, helping her up to sit back on his lap as he went to his captains chair. They were setting up a landing area anyway, somewhere near a beach perhaps...Hmm...on the dark side of the planet for now. So they could enjoy the cool ocean breeze. And you know, make her cling to him. Share body heat and all that, just because he could.
Oh he was so evil sometimes, and it was gooooood.
With the ship on the descent vector he leaned back, pulling Mai back with him, her back against his chest, his arms about her stomach mostly. "Ahh...soon we'll be landing Mai, and things will be all good from there on out."
