[i]It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer[/I]
[b][i]-Elton John, Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting. [/i][/b]
[i]Another day, another drink. That was the mantra JT found himself living by, with each weekend he found himself in the bar. The same bar he went to when nothing new was going on in his life.
Aveline and Benny were heading the search for the killer and Derek had been attending an Extryte corporate meeting, leaving JT all alone for the time being. The Marshal hanged his hat on the rack in the bar and his pistols on the table in front of him, to either side of a brown bottle of Crown Royal on the table. The bar was as dead as his current activity, and so he waited for someone interesting to hopefully walk through that front door. [/i]
((Open. This is a boredom post.))

-
[i]"I'll have t'see what y'all got on stock." [/i]
-
"Just call for 'Portal to Medical' and the docs should be able to take care of you from there." [i]Her eyes unfocus, then she nods.[/i] "They know. Anywhere, anytime."
-
[i]"That's ominous... Anyways, you said your job was to make kids? Whats that all about?" [/i]
-
"As the Empress of the Genellian Empire, I have a duty to ensure the safety and stability of my rule, to enforce the laws I set, to provide for my people, and produce heirs in the unlikely event of my demise." [i]Shadow shrugs.[/i] "Or at least that's what my advisors told me."
-
[i]"So do you guys have like, royal breeders or something that mate with you? How's that all work?" JT himself was a patriarchal figure of over a hundred and sixty children, though even he didn't know how Shadow's job was. He was hella curious. [/i]
-
"Most of my children were actually out of wedlock, so they were set a bit lower than those whose parents I actually married. My most recent were actually a set of twins, Seth and Sara. Since I married their father, they are in line for the throne before most of their siblings."
-
[i]"Nice. How old are they?" [/i]
-
"When I last saw them they were in their mid twenties. When I see them next, they might be in their 100s. All depends on how our time-lines meet up." [i]She sighs.[/i] "They... well, Seth really, are not as close to me as I wish they were."
-
[i]"Why not reach out to them?" [/i]
-
"Interests, personality... morals, even. Sara, while more like me in appearance, is not a personable... person. She prefers to seclude herself and study magic and train. While I understand wanting to have some alone time, when I personally took her as my apprentice for a few years, I don't think she felt like I was being the mother I should." [i]She pulled out a small, faintly glowing bottle and poured herself a small shot, slapping a few bills down on the counter. She sipped the green, bubbling liquid before continuing.[/i] "And her brother is just a world of problems all by himself."
-
[i]JT threw an arm around Shadow's shoulders in a friendly manner. He could relate to her in this situation, whether she knew it or not. "Well, surely they're good kids." [/i]
-
"Well, despite their problems and issues, I hope they know I love them as much as I do their siblings. I let each of my children live their own lives, sometimes even helping them along when they need it." [i]She nods, taking a slightly bigger sip.[/i] "I know my first children, triplet sisters, let me tell you, they were a handful. I had them with my first husband, whose name shall never be uttered again lest he be brought to this plane of existence and wipe you mortals out. Since they were born of a god, little 'g' that is, they were goddesses in their own right. Now they manage their universe-cluster's 'Darkness' powers and realm. Neat huh? I'm really proud of them."
-
[i]"Damn, better than any of my degenerates." [/i]
-
"Of course I have had some bad apples." [i]She takes a gulp this time, pouring herself some more.[/i] "Some tried to challenge me for my power, being brought up by jealous people or thought that somehow killing me would make them all-powerful. Others have used their power to rule worlds, others to end them. It's not even close to easy being a mother."
-
[i]"...Alright, your degenerates win, it seems." [/i]
-
"At least your kids don't live as long as you might. I have to deal with some of them for far too long."
-
[i]"I still got another 120 years until my brain goes. Assuming my kids took after the mother's, then I'll outlive them. That is NOT a thing any parent wants to have happen." [/i]
-
"With your drinking habits you might not outlive them!" [i]Shadow chuckled, taking a draw from the bottle.[/i] "That coming from me though..."
-
[i]"I've got biological immunity. Now the hôes though, that's the real issue. Don't know when ones gonna pull a knife in my sleep." [/i]
-
"I just usually say 'kinky' and strangle them." [i]Her head hits the bar as her eyes focus on the bottle in front of her.[/i] "Well, I've reached my limit for this week. I got to get back to the Fleet. Got an invasion to oversee, after all." [i]Shadow chuckles darkly as she stands up slowly, putting away the glowing bottle.[/i] "Take care, alright? I don't want to see you dead yet at least for a few hundred years."
-
[i]"Biologically I ain't gonna last that long, but same goes t'you." [/i]
-
[i]She picks up her sombrero, placing it on her head with a sense of finality.[/i] "Double dog dare you to live that long out of sheer spite." [i]With a wide grin, she leaps into a portal. The bridge of a starship shows for a few seconds. Through the viewports at the front of the bridge, JT can see numerous shining warships floating in the ocean of space. A planet gives the scene backdrop as Shadow gives a final wave goodbye. The portal closes, leaving only a faint smell of recycled air to show it was there.[/i]

[i][b]As luck would have it, the door of the bar would open soon as a female would enter. She clearly wasn't a regular, as she looked around the bar before entering. She seemed to be a civilian, he clothes denoting it. Red short sleeve t-shirt, looser dark blue jeans, and black shoes covered her. Her arms were covered by a tight black covering, revealing only her fingers as she walked over to the bar. She seemed somewhat muscular, standing only at 5'9", much shorter than several members of the Dojo. Her hair was cut short, though on her it looked good. She was attractive by her own planets standards, her traits feminine though not weak. She took a seat st the bar, though she seemed a little shy, as she glanced at all the different patrons. Hey eyes would quickly glance over at JT, her eyes being somewhat serpent like, before daring off of him[/b][/i]

[i]JT noticed the woman with a look of curiosity, and wave her over to the empty seat beside him while she did look over at him. [/i]
