The Big Jerk

Summary: Something happens.

Cast: Newt, Naoi, Willow and a Hekayti

Air Date: Wed Feb 10 06:09:23 2652

Setting: Tradeport - Comorro Station

Built within one of the larger fissures of her digestive system, this common tradeport has rib-like structures with gray-green webs of matter stretched between them to protect Comorro's winding intestinal conduits from damage. Luminescent symbiotes, floating orbs of green and yellow, provide illumination for the cartilagenous nodes that serve as shops and merchant stalls.

The docking hub can be found at the starboard end of the bazaar, while a levimodule at the port end carries visitors to other levels of the Yaralu vessel.

Newt enters RP mode.
Naoi arrives from Levimodule - Comorro Station.
Naoi has arrived.

Newt's going through the stalls, slowly but surely. Doesn't seem to be interested in anything in particular. Seemingly just window shopping without the windows.

The Levimodule opens, the scant traffic of the early hours exiting, Naoi amongst them. Her hood is down now, blonde hair curling around her shoulders. She seems focused on her destination more then her surrondings, casually strolling toward the Docking Hub.

Willow arrives from Levimodule - Comorro Station.
Willow has arrived.

The Levimodule opens, the scant traffic of the early hours exiting, Naoi amongst them. Her hood is down now, blonde hair curling around her shoulders. She seems focused on her destination more then her surrondings, casually strolling toward the Docking Hub.

There's a grunt, a hand on Newts shoulder and then a shove that sends him backwards. The owner of the aforementioned hand steps closer to the stall whilst Newt is sent flying backwards, just barely failing to land on his well-suited butt. "HEY! What the?!"

Stepping out of that same levimodule as Naoi is Willow, and as before, she's carrying a guitar case. The cheerleader slowly saunters along, a faint carefree smile playing on her lips at the quieter morning traffic.

Naoi is more then a little unaware of Willow's presence at her back, but she suddenly slams to a stop as she sees Newt being pushed around. Right in front of the woman.

Newt glares after the incredibly tall Hekayti as he recovers, "What was that for, jerk-off?" The Hekayti doesn't so much as grunt, let alone buy anything before moving off to another stall.

This time it's not a kitten that catches Willow out, but rather the crossbow carrying woman in front of her. If she wasn't watching out for kittens, she might have avoided the collision and saw the green guy getting pushed around, and also, while she wasn't travelling fast, she does give out a squeel of surprise and jumps back as the tip of the case brushes against Naoi's robe, and it slips from her hands and falling to the floor with a loud thunk.

[Skill System] Naoi rolls her Telekinesis with a modifier of 0. The result is Legendary (8).

Or would have if Naoi hadn't whirled at the sudden collision, telekinesis reaching for the falling guitar and catching it midflight.... only to gently float it back up toward the woman. "I am very sorry. I should be more aware of my surrondings." She waits until Willow reclaims her valuable musical instrument with a faint, and almost nostalgic smile, before turning and heading toward the conflict with Newt. The Ungstiri she only pats on his shoulder in passing, before moving close to the Hekayti. "Excuse me, but that was very rude. I think my friend deserves an apology."

Newt stops glaring at the Hekayti when Naoi pats shis shoulder and looks up at her instead, tracking as she moves past. The Hekayti turns to look back and down for a moment and snorts before moving onto the next stall.

[Skill System] Willow rolls her Thespian with a modifier of 0. The result is Good (5).

With the guitar case being returned, Willow offers a greatful smile to Naoi and she inclines her head. "Oh, no miss. It was my mistake," she admits in a strange accent somewhere between that of a Later and a Sivadian. "So I do apologise... And thank you very much." She does seem a little on edge with the telekinetic usage, as she quickly grabs her case back and as usual, returns it straight to her right hand. This is when she notices the Ungstiri, and the large Hekayti that the other woman is speaking to.

"Was I not clear?" Naoi responds, moving beside the Hekayti as he begans to walk toward the stall. "There is a certain unbalance now, so either you can apologize or I will be forced to return the insult you gave to him. I know your people, it will only escalate if you do not act the part of an honorable and respectable citizen of the galactic community."

Newt's eyes widen and he momentarily looks over at Willow before looking back at the scene. "Uh..." he articulates with deep conviction. The Hekayti, on the other hand, has a complete grasp of the fine art of wordiness and uses it to full conviction as he stops once again. With a sigh and a glare he requests, "Go away. Busy." He gives Newt one look before returning his glare to Naoi.

Willow moves a bit closer towards Newt when she spots the Heyakti's look towards the short one. She doesn't say anything as she comes to a halt, shifting the guitar case so that it's held by the handle with both hands, and she just observes with a furrowed brow. It seems that the teen doesn't want to get involved.

"I gave you two chances," Naoi says, her tone still even and controlled as her body explodes into motion. One, two, three steps bring her into combat range, and she attempts to drive a reinforced boot right into the sensitive foot of the large Hekayti, with all her force aimed for a particular bone that supports the entire body weight of the large sentient.

[Skill System] You roll a Good with a modifier of 0. The result is Fair (4).
[Skill System] Naoi rolls her Unarmed Combat with a modifier of 0. The result is Legendary+1 (9). Unlucky roll! Reroll and take the lower of the two values.
[Skill System] Naoi rolls her Unarmed Combat with a modifier of 0. The result is Mediocre (3).

Newt looks up at Willow just as Naoi does her attempt at poking an evil doer right in the foot. Quickly, though, he looks back just in time to see Naoi miss the intended sensitive sensitify foot of the large Hekayti and, instead of doing something impolite to a particular bone she, instead gets the afore-mentioned foot aimed right at her. "I said I'm busy!"

What does Willow do? Well, she doesn't run in to assist. In fact, she stands there giving both the Hekayti and the woman a disapproving look and sighs. "Why must everyone resort to violence?" she says with a frown, as she reaches out to unclip one of the catches on the neck of the guitar case, before her hand returns back to holding the handle again.

[Skill System] You roll a Good with a modifier of 0. The result is Good (5).
[Skill System] Naoi rolls her Unarmed Combat with a modifier of 0. The result is Legendary+1 (9).

Naoi has to use both hands to protect herself from the kick, asorbing most of the shock in the hand that is reinforced with Kevlar. With her grip on the hoof, she uses it as a brace for her next attack. Pulling forward hard, she slides underneath the extended leg to the one that the Hekayti is standing for. A takedown slide, performed hopefully better then her stomp.

[Skill System] Naoi rolls her Unarmed Combat with a modifier of 0. The result is Great (6).
[Skill System] You roll a Good with a modifier of 0. The result is Good (5).

Newt replies, gawking, "Cos he's a dumb jerk." The afore-mentioned jerk goes for the kick, swings and... gets a hoof-hug. Some surpise manages to rise to the high altitudes where his head resides and registers itself. The mental bureaucratic mess that this results in slows him down just enough so that his realisation of impending doom comes a smidgeon too late and his leg gets swiped and he begins his decent, landi- arms coming out to try and prevent him from kissing ground at high velocity.

That hand leaves the handle again, this time reclasping the clasp on the neck of the case, before Willow starts to slowly move away without any additional comment to Newt as she carries the case in her right hand. It seems all has been handled, and she casts a glance towards Naoi and her new found friend as she heads in the direction of the docking hub for some reason.

Though Naoi has the advantage after the successful takedown, she does not captilaze on it. Instead, she straightens and adjusts her swordbelt. Then, nodding at Newt with a faint smile, turns and begans to head to the docking hub as well.

Newt just grins back at Naoi, "Thanks." and pokes his tongue out at the big jerk. The big jerk, on the other hand, is dealing with suprise aftermath.

If Willow notices that Naoi's heading in the same direction as her, she doesn't say anything. As she leaves the trading port, she heads in the direction of an unmarked freighter.

Willow has left RP mode.
Willow has left.

"You are welcome, Newt. It is good to see you again." Naoi states, before pulling her hood up about her ears and disappearing with the traffic into the port.

Newt notices the jerk getting up and uttering curses and bolts it himself.

Naoi heads into Docking Hub - Comorro Station.
Naoi has left.
