"It's not polite to talk about appearances. I may still be pretty but my body has taken a solid beating over the years. Scars produced by magic are very nasty. And I highly doubt Ghost throw things in the air. I mean, mine did but she was weird"
John took out his hand cannon and fusion rifle. He then tossed them in the bag but the sword was still at his waist. The Vandals didn't say anything.
The boat stopped at the side of the ship and a built in ladder helped them to climb up.
On the deck, three Captains were waiting for them. Two were heavily armed with specialized shrapnel launchers. The third was much more peaceful but still had a mean looking saber at his side.
John handed the bag to one of the Vandals going back into the galley. John walked to the central Captain with a smile.
"Baron Devieus. How good to see you."
The Baron spoke in broken English. Not quite as well as Variks.
"[u]Good to be seen well[/u]"
The Baron looked at Eclipse and Dency.
"[u]Friend still is armed[/u]"
"He's a... Special case I can guarantee his good behavior."
"[u]I trust you, Jonathan of Light. Sure that your friend behaves[/u]"
"I will. Thank you Baron"

[i]Eclipse sets the red death on his back putting his helmet back on and Walks past the baron following john. Dency followed a few seconds after looking over the vandals[/i]
-
"We'll go to the galley for now. They'll come in eventually and ask me for some help with something most likely. Then they'll drop us off at the nearest point where we have a hangar. Then you can call your ship and be on your way" John opened the door into a small, strange looking place. Fans were everywhere. Many holographic displays were posted on the walls. The only that was normal was the table next to the wall. A bench jutted out with several chairs as well. John looked right at home and sat with his back to the wall. He propped his feet up on the table and closed his eyes. "Some food and drinks might be in here somewhere. But no booze. Elinski can't drink it." John said the last note a little bitter. He was very unhappy that he couldn't refill his flask.
-
[i]Eclipse sits down in one of the chairs and leans back the best he can. Dency looks around before asking[/i] "Can I attach myself to the ceiling here?"
-
John opened his eyes and rubbed his ears. "I'm sorry. I think I misheard you. Did you say 'attach yourself to the ceiling'?"
-
[i]Dency removes his helmet with a stupid grin on his face and nods enthusiastically[/i]
-
John was actually lost for words. He just sat their for a second and looked at him. It felt like quite a long time before he talked. "I mean, it should support your weight and I'm not sure how the Baron would feel about it. As long as you don't break anything"
-
[i]Dencys face glows with excitement as a small hiss is heard and in an instant he is fully attached to the ceiling above his face filled with a large robotic grin. Eclipse laughs a bit[/i] "You're ghost isn't the only weird one. Every sense we got him a body it's been crazy." [i]Eclipse looks at john[/i] "I'll understand if you wish to say no bit we could always transfer your ghost into a body herself. She would be able to still revive you and do all other ghost stuff like scan items and doors"
-
"I can't have that. Then my years of calling her a ball and not understanding would be for nothing. I have to keep that joke going" John looked at Dency stuck to the ceiling laughing and looked back at Eclipse. "There's weird, which my Ghost is. And then there's Dency. I thought I was unlucky but I am sorry"
-
[i]Eclipse chuckled a bit[/i] "I love Dency I don't care if he's weird as hell. But I'm serious Whats more important her life or a joke of calling her a ball?"
-
"You really have to ask that question? Of course I'm protecting her above all else-" John stopped for a moment and looked at Dency. "Hey Dency, how do Exos feel in comparison to humans. Do they feel warmth, cold, humidity, etc?" John looked back at Eclipse. "I think I may be able to get behind this"
-
[i]Dency faces john[/i] "If you're asking if me an exo can feel what humans can, yes I can feel that but only if I want to. If I don't want to I have a switch that allows me" [i]Eclipse continues to look at john[/i] "also There are other body options to use, like There are humans and Awoken bodies that you can put a ghost mind into. Alittle more risky but doable"
-
"Ah. I'm not sure if she would want an actual living, breathing body. So I'm not in a place to make the decision for her. But she might be more into being an Exo. Where would you find an empty Exo body?" A Vandal walked in the room and jumped back when he saw Dency. It shouted something and John clicked back. It notably relaxed and spoke for a few minutes. John just sat and nodded his head. The Vandal stopped talking and then walked out again. John rose from his chair. "We'll be stopping off at a recently formed island. A new hot spot opened smack in the middle of the Atlantic. There's no hangar there but after we leave for the Americas again, be on guard. The waters are teeming with rouge Elinski. There's Devils and Exiles as well. So just be ready"
-
[i]Dency releases himself and falls flat to the ground with a thud before standing up and brushing himself off. Eclipse shakes his head and stands up and looks at john[/i] "Ok well john to find an empty exo body we need to head to Venus to the vault of glass. Last I was there I saw some. But one more thing when you put her into a body Whatever her personality is will determine her class type. Drncy is crazy and knows so much. Has very big intrest in stuff so when he was transferred he became a warlock"
-
"Personality determines class? She make a whole new one. The closet I can think of is Hunter. Oh, how's the body's condition? I can't put her in a junk pile" John looked at the floor where Dency landed and saw a slight dent. "The Baron will not be happy"
-
[i]Eclipse leans his head in next to John[/i] "The bodies are a 100% it's just getting to them is a problem. Took me a while to find them. I stumbled upon them by accident. Also with the floor give Dency a second" [i]Dency sits down on the floor and place shis hand on the dent fixing it[/i]
-
John views Dency with curiosity. "At least the Baron won't be angry with that. However when he hears your buddy was hanging from the ceiling he won't be happy" John took out his flask and shakes it. A hollow swishing sound is heard. Meaning it was less than half. "That's not good. We have to get back to the Americas soon. Then we'll get on to Venus to see about those bodies" The Baron's voice came on the comms and spoke for a while. Then he started to speak in English for a while. "[u]We 15 minutes from Staticos. Be ready. We stay for few hours then take you to mainland[/u]" John slumped in his chair and pouted. "A few hours? I'll easily run out of booze. This is not good."
-
"Well I'm sure Dency has some himself bit before we check I need to dicuss...a...another deal with the bodoes, you see there are many female ones. Regardless if you go with an exo or no you need to choose the right one...well The options range around to the normal body...and the ones with...bigger assets I guess is the better word for it"
-
"I'm not at all interested in her, and even less interested in a Exo. She is my Ghost and I plan to choose a body that fits her needs, not mine" John scratched his goatee and returned his flask. He was still not looking overly happy with the situation. "I don't know about you. But my relationship with my Ghost is that of a friend and a work partner. Not as spouse or something else. Anyways. You said Dency has been holding out?" John turned and looked at Dency. It wasn't very friendly. More hungry. Or on this occasion thirsty.
-
[i]Eclipse laughed a bit [/i] "Alright just making sure anyways no I make Dency carry booze somtimes becasue hell I need it myself." [i]Dency smiles[/i] "What kind do you like?"
-
"I doubt you carry it but Uzo? If not then just some brandy. I do appreciate it" The ship shifted forward heavily and a thud was heard. "I think that's us hitting the shore. The Baron will make sure we get our weapons back. Place is a little seedy. Especially towards Guardians." John rose and dusted himself off. He yawned and stretched. "Just don't kill anyone or anything. We don't need to stay here"
-
[i]Dency shifts through his inventory[/i] "Never heard of uzo But I have bourbon" [i]Dency then scans into Johns hand and a large bottle of bourbon now sits in bis grasp as Eclipse Stands uo[/i]
-
"Aha! Thank you very much Dency! Now that I have a drink, let me show you this lovely scumhole" John walks towards the stairs that lead underneath the deck and takes a deep draft from the bottle. "Mmm, we'll need our weapons to go out here. Especially me, considering if I die, I die." Two unusually large Vandals stood watch at a door near the Baron's Quarters. John walked up and chatted with them for a second. They seemed to have no intention of moving. John continued to argue and his movements were becoming erratic. He seemed to be getting angry and eventually the Vandals relented. Only after some brief snaps of electricity. "Take what you need. Bullets, weapons, Anything." John picked up his fusion rifle and his Eyasluna. His fusion was a standard Elevated Vision and his Eyasluna was one with a heavy bayonet and true iron sights.
-
[i]Eclipse followed John and When he was able to he grabbed his ammo for his red death [/i] "Alright let's see this place then, and then hopefully we can get to the bodies in the vault"
-
"Outstanding then." John holstered his weapon and returned to the top deck, he stepped off onto the pier where a mass of Fallen, Dark Guardians, and Rouge Guardians bustled about. "It's busier than usual... Oh, almost forgot. Watch your gear. Sliest hands on this planet live here." He walked forward at a brisk pace. It was clear he was right at home. His attitude, however, was unique. The general attitude of the entire town seemed to be a shifty, aggressive stance. The sun was just past its zenith so they had quite a few hours before nightfall. John did not act this way. He acted as if they had mere minutes. "Hurry up, would you. There's someone you should meet for your... Condition. If you don't want to take the easy way out, then you should learn the life"
-
[i]Eclipse said nothing to John As he walked behind him, just kept ahold of his red death Not making eye contact with the other guardians and vandals. Dency did the same usually he would be a joker but even he knew this was not the time [/i]
