RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Ryummel - 08-24-2013
Having followed the indications of this certain 'Doctor' that he had met outside of the Freeport, Teraku Oshiro made his way into the meeting point which turned out to be the already mentioned bar running through a process of restoration.
He took his time to spot his contact, who was sitting down alone in a table while tinkering with a personal datapad. Previously, he hadn't minded at all whatever attention a jumpsuit of his kind would draw, fairly sure from previous days that a Dragon wasn't a common view in Freeport 10.Thinking that depriving himself from a cup of sake wouldn't harm him for a day either, he walked toward the Doctor and greeted the man.
"Konnichiwa. Forgive me for the... slightly deviation in the schedule. I believe the business offer is holding up?"
RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - The_Normal_Anomaly - 08-24-2013
"Yes-yes, yes it is. That business offer is still very alive. For now, I'd say 'have a seat' since the most we will be doing is having a conversation, right now anyway. Yeah, that."
He leaves his datapad facing upwards on the table.
*Trying to sound cool* "So, you like our, umm," *thinks for a moment* "hospitality offerings? Well, except for this wrecked bar, of course."
He motions for the Dragon to sit down, and then sets his hand down on the table, clasping them together.

" Lucius Ryder, you said? " he casted a clearly rhetorical inquiry in order to engrave the name inside the very metaphysical entrails of his mind.
" That will certainly be a name I shall remember " he said, pointing his index finger against the side of his head, suggesting the obvious.
The bounty hunter's story erected deep interest inside Robert. But it was unsure whether his last phrase could suggest that he will employ his services at a later date or not.
He turns his head sideways, contemplating and pondering what has been said. This permitted his sight to drift away. Out of a sudden, his eyes widened as if their size tried to compete with the size of plates waiting to be filled with the latest delicacies, all while his skin turned pale, engulfing itself into a shade of white only seen in the coats of ghosts.
His eyes gazed at the nefarious: He saw that the bar was there no more. His head now was entirely puzzled, depraved, murky thoughts sculpting and depicting any possible scenario that could have lead to such an affront filled his mind, while dazzling ideas of repairing what was damaged invaded what was already occupied.
Out of a sudden, a genial, cordial and extremely efficient solution erected in his mind: " I shall make Sean responsible of this " he thought, and with that his typical, satirically jovial and slytherin nature resume, while the pale of his face dissipated.
He turned back towards Lucius and with a big, cutting grin he said:
" I am afraid you must excuse me, monsieur, for I must depart. It seems like I have some business to attend to " he said, pointing his left hand towards the ransacked bar with excessive subtlety.
" Au revoir, monsieur! " he exalted as he raised himself from the chair. He then extended his hand towards Lucius for a handshake according to courtesy.
He could then be easily spotted amongst the surroundings as he was walking in a steady rhythm towards the damaged, but somehow ( barely ) functional bar.
When he arrived, he found himself standing right next to DD and a man of kusarian origins, but his mind was filled with entirely other thoughts to notice.
" Where is Sean? " he asked deliberately, letting his words to exude the tight clutches of his lips, only to venture forth, with no determined destination, all while his palm was repeatedly beating on the bar stand, or what was left of it, in anxiety, or perhaps: excitement.

While most of the debris was already cleared away, several different parts of things were still strewed upon the floor, like broken bits of glass, little pools of alcohol and odd ends of chairs and tables. Sean was now standing behind the left-handed side of the bar where the counter wasn't destroyed in it's entirely. After he poured wine in a guest's glass - which has been stored in a warehouse - he sat down on a bar stool to grant his aching back a short rest period.
He gazed at the now bleak spot, where the rest of the counter was before Achille detonated the bar. Sean definitly did not except the result to be in such demolishing way. Lost in thoughts, he didn't notice her approaching. When she stood in front of him, he looked at her in an puzzled and surprised alike way.
"I normally don't do this, but..Good bye Sean. I would say its been fun, but I tend to find stretching the truth a lie at times."
Sean was completely flabbergasted and it took a few seconds for him to realized what Susan ment by that. He slowly drew himself up, leaned on the rest of the counter and glanced at her.
"You-...you are leaving?! Susan y-...you can not simply leave. There is no way to leave the inner circle once you are in. Robert wouldn't let you go...There has to be a different way. I mean-...why are you leaving in the first place? It's safe here, I told you many times. Susan, I'm feeling so confident about the security of this place that I decided to move here with my family.
Do you want to keep on living this way 'till the end of your life?"

Lucius was now alone at his table. His drink had been finished and his conversation was over. He decided to wait encase anyone else would wish to speak with him...
RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Remnant - 08-24-2013
I don't intend to settle down, no. I do not intend to be around others, I do not intend to be amusement, i do not intend for many things for my life. I live it a rather brutal way, and that's how things will always be. Come now, I am sure things will be just the same without me, after all, all I have ever been was 'that one person' who liked being left alone. Rather funny how things work out hm?"
Taking a sip of her water. "Robert will not let me.. I'd like to see him stop me. I do not lose, I'd hope that at least would become apparent. As for the security.. Not the reason, there are other things I must do. Don't worry, I am sure some new member would come along and help you with whatever you intend to do, you don't have to change someone."
Finishing up her water, setting the glass on the table. "Its been a strange few months. Lets give you a rest from myself. Its for the best. For eternity most likely."

He casted a nod before taking a seat in front of the Doctor, drawing a half smile that would imply his feelings regarding the place where the meeting took part, then glancing around briefly before replying.
"The way the biodome has been repurposed for leisure matters is indeed... interesting. I hope I can say the same about this place in future. Very well, I don't want to waste anybody's time after having been late, so I'll be carefully listening."

DD points over to Susan speaking with Sean. He looks at Robert as though asking a question, as he is not yet fully familiar with the other staff.
"Uhh, Robert, I think that is 'Sean' over there, probably."
He then looks back over at his guest, then back to Robert.
"If you'd have time later, this pilot is willing to do some work and has a background that, well, he should be good for, well, things."
He starts to take note of the tense nature of Robert, getting a little uneasy from them.
"Everything alright there, Sir?"
Returning his attention to his Kusarian companion, putting back on a much more polished set of mannerisms.
"I suppose that the best way to start is with a proper introduction. I'm-"
His face falters as he realizes that he is committed to not using his real name for business for now.
"-Doctor . . . Devious."
Thinking to himself *This just sounds silly trying to make friends with an alias. Still better than Benny though, I think*
"Ahem, yes. Anyway, what might I call you, sir?"

Robert's rhythm caused by his palms as they hit one after another, repeatedly against the wooden material started to decrease gradually in speed. They got slower and slower with each hit until they stopped completely, only to be followed by a surprised, facial expression radiated forth by Robert, possibly suggesting a recognition of his lack of awareness regarding Sean.
" DD, what a delightful surprise ! " he acclaimed cheerfully, with a smile on his face
" It's good to see you in person, DD. I assume you have arrived here to indulge yourself with this little fraction of utopia we refer to as Sylvania Dome, non ? " he said, still retaining his smile.
As he then heard of a third guest from DD, Robert started to lean back, trying to glance behind DD's back and look who was sitting next to him.
The appearance suggested it was a man of Kusari origins, possibly the man he was acquainted to in space.
After carefully analyzing the man's appears in an extremely fast and subtle way he then leaned back in his original position and glared yet again at DD.
" Would you be so kind as to introduce me to your newest ami, s'il vous plait? " Robert inquired, with a very calm voice
RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - JaaY - 08-26-2013
Sean was indignant about Susan's lack of cooperation. It made him almost turn mad that Susan still tried to decouple herself and tried to act as outcast, although that was not her real nature.
"Looks like you still don't put even a single bit of trust im me, although I tried to make you as comfortable as possible. No one ever saw you as 'that one person'. There are no people who get left behind in the inner circle..."
"Don't worry, I am sure some new member would come along and help you with whatever you intend to do, you don't have to change someone."
He remained silent for a short moment to gather his thoughts.
"You can't just replace a person. That's not possible. If you leave, then there will always be a gap...and I never tried to change you. I intended to stop this...charade of yours. No idea what you've done before, and honestly: I stopped caring about that. If you want to keep your current name, it's alright. But tell us - or at least someone - what you've done. Even if you don't want to do that...it's still fine. Just...when you're leaving, there will be concequences. For you. For me. For everyone in the inner circle. So c'mon, there will be no one judging, no matter what you've done you'd still be a part of the Commonwealth."
"Do you want to know what comes first in the inner circle? I'll tell you: trust. If we can't trust each other, then we're all condemned.
The second thing is secrecy. Life is short and hard, and when you don't want to die earlier than you'd have to, I'd suggest staying here, for the sake of everyone. Your chances of survival are way higher in a group than being on your own. And as I said before, no one will ever betray you in the inner circle."
