Exit Mark - The_Normal_Anomaly - 04-29-2014 "Yeah, thanks." Did something happen? She seems colder than when I left before. Perhaps its just because I'm a screw up. The prodigal son. I can't blame her for not being terribly happy to see me. Still, I'm more useful here than out there . . . As she turns to leave, he speaks to her back. He chokes up a bit, but carries on. "Its nice to see you again." He finishes his drink, and heads to the ship as he was instructed. RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - CinnamonStickk - 05-06-2014 *Without saying a word or making eye contact, a hooded man eyes up the inside dome. He wears a plain grey hood with his hands in it's side pockets. Simple dark blue jeans that appear to be well worn. Nothing but a bum trying to find the bar no doubt. The man constantly checking his clearly well kept watch, looking around and looking for any sort of signage. Noticing the bar close by, people drinking and conversing, the man hastily walks over to it. Takes a lone stool, drags it slightly away from the general crowd, then waits. Never once does he greet any of the people at the bar, nor does he try to. He lowers his hood slightly, so that he does not make accidental eye contact. All you ever see him do is check his watch and shift back and forth uncomfortably on the stool. Clearly on edge.* *The barman, sick of seeing the man at his bar without drinking approaches him.* "Hey there buddy, anything from the bar?" *The man shoots his head up at the barman in surprise.* "Oh. Sorry, you startled me. Hm?" "You want anything from the bar? "No, sorry I don't drink." *The man lowers his head, breaking eye contact.* "...Why are you at the bar then?" "I'm *Checks his watch* waiting for someone." *The barman frowns* "You'll have to buy something, or ill be forced to ask you to leave. You're making people uneasy just sitting there." "I'll have the cheapest beverage then please." *The barman places a glass infront of the man and pours a light cider, then leaves, muttering something under his breath as he turns to his other customers. The man checks his watch again. With a sigh, he sips from the glass and coughs softly, trying not to upset the barman anymore.* RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Remnant - 05-07-2014 A familliar looking woman without a word takes a seat next to the hooded man, this time she was wearing short sleeves. An end of a tattoo could be seen sticking out slightly going down her arm. Besides that, she had a complete absense of makeup or any other cosmetics.
Motioning to the bartender. "I'll take my usual." A few seconds later, a clear liquid is slid across the bar which she takes a gulp of eagerly. Glancing to her side, she eyes the hooded man for a few seconds. "You really are indeed someone who is on edge quite a bit of time, hm? Same style as you always harbor in public or in your transmissions. Well, you're going to need to get more comfterable if you wish to make do on what you desire." "Well, nice to meet you in person." Extending a hand. "The name is Tara Snow." RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - CinnamonStickk - 05-07-2014 *Noticing the hand extending in front of him, the man jumps slightly at how forward the women was. She didn't seem to care about anything. Maybe he wasn't subtle enough.* "Oh, hello Miss Snow. Um, yeah. Sorry I wasn't expecting such a informal greeting or...such a nice place." *Shakes Tara's hand softly.* "My name is Tobias. Tobi is fine, easier to say and Tobias makes me sounds like and old man!" *Tobi smiles and giggles slightly at his own little joke before realising how silly it probably sounded to Tara.* "Nice to meet you by the way." RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Remnant - 05-07-2014 Nodding to herself as if resolving an internal question. Taking a small sip of her drink, she pays attention to the guest once more.
"No last name, hm? Tobias Tobi it is then. You are an interesting man. Much like many others that I have met. Every one of them proving an internal drive which I hold respect for. You however, deviate this slightly. You seem like a lost lamb upon a path that merely leads to the underworld.. Merely stopping to graze and take in what you can while you still lead that path.." "Forgive the comparisons, it's become a bad habit recently." Running a hand through her hair idly, her gaze fixiated upon the bar in front of her temporarily. "Tobi, you have made your intentions unclear. Frankly, I don't give two thoughts about that. Pardon the language, but I don't give a damn about who you are. However I recently was put in a position where I must speak for the Commonwealth as a whole." "We take in greatfully those who are lost upon what they need to do in life. Those people almost always turn out to be geniuses in their own reguard, thus driving our name up higher and higher with each addition.. Do you think you have what it takes to join us? We are not a job. We are not a drag. Instead, we're home." "We all harbor something that we like to keep to ourselves. That's why this place stands out. None of us care about who each other is. Ahh.. I suppose there are a few deviations, including the silly bartender Sean. As much as I don't want to admit it, he's a good man." "What have you to say." RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - CinnamonStickk - 05-08-2014 *Tobi nods slowly, thinking about what Tara has said.* "My full name is Tobias Mengsk Holzer. I was originally from Rheinland before being kidnapped by some Corsairs. I used my skills to trick some Lane Hackers into thinking that there was gold on a Corsair transport, I hid inside the transport when they took the ship. I managed to join them for a while, helping them advance their technology and upgrading their systems, I felt like I belonged there. I called it home." *Tobi shifts uncomfortable in his seat.* "Once they found out that the Corsairs were looking for me, they sold me to them straight away." *He takes a large sip from his drink, this time he did not cough or seem to mind the ale. Then Tobi removes his hood, revealing his face to Tara, staring her in the eye. His left eye was all white. A large scar ran down his forehead, through his eye to his cheek. The left side of his face showed signs of burn marks as well as the deep scar.* "This is what they gave me, as a reminder not to run away from them. " *Tobi put his hood up over his head again. Noticing his left hand; was also badly scarred and showed burn marks, just like his face. His split personality disorder suddenly became apparent.* "I understand that you don't care about my past. I need a real home, I need to be safe, I'm sick of running and hiding. Tired of being paranoid* *Mengsk sighs* "When I'm Tobi, I feel afraid that they will find me. When I'm behind a screen, I become Mengsk. The feared hacker that knows and see's all. But really, I'm just a little scared man trying to stay alive. " *Mengsk looks at Tara, a stern look on his face* "I can help the Commonwealth, I can help drive the Commonwealth name up to greater prestige. Tobi is only a liability, you will need to keep him safe." RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Remnant - 05-09-2014 Tara crosses her arms, eyeing the man in front of her for a few minutes. raising both of her palms slightly, she seems to almost deflate as she lets out a large breath, sinking down where she was leaning with both elbows on the bar in front of the two.
"You told me the truth. At least a larger part of it than before.. That was all that I desired. Stretched or not. Well, welcome to the Commonwealth, Tobi Holzer. Hunted, feared, it matters not. We don't give a damn around here. As long as you respect the others around you, you'll fit in just fine." "As for keeping people from getting to you, it seems that we may need to get on better terms with the Corsairs. Easy enough I suppose, i'll have a talk with the others about working on something between the two of us later. Would give us something to do rather than lazing around all day." Crossing her legs. Her professionalism that she harbored a few minutes ago quickly fading, revealing quite a different person. Same personality, however the attitude is quite different. "Gah.. This job is such a pain, what on earth possessed me.." Waving a hand to the bartender, where another glass of the clear liquid is slid across the bar, where she takes another sip of quietly. "When you came in here, did you happen to see a young girl about.." Moving her hand to show a shorter form. "This big when you came in?" Scratching the back of her head. "Ah.. Well, besides that.. Tobi, what do you need from me, hm? Business stuff i'll gladly finish later to get you officially within, although i've lost the will to put up a silly front for the time being. Later however, i'll finish up what's needed. Until then, have a drink. Or at least some water." RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - CinnamonStickk - 05-09-2014 *Tobi smiles, his shyness seemed to have disappeared.* "It's a pleasure. Can't wait to get started. Haven't been this excited in..." *Tobi thinks for a moment before smiling once again.* "It doesn't matter. What do I need from you? Well, now that you mention it I am working on a new AI system to run my ship, and others if need be. I sent for a ....err...package to be delivered to New London so I can collect it later this week. Just got word that the damn BTA scanned and took the "contraband" off the Mollys..." *He looks up at Tara.* "It was just a tiny little data file that I didn't want to be seen with! The Mollys said they knew how to move without being seen so I payed them to take it for me. Obviously they weren't what they said they were. Subtle." *Tobi sighs and takes a sip of his cider, coughing slightly.* "The BTA thought that because it was named ".YORK" that it belonged to some battleship with the same name. Long story short, I need that file back if I'm going to make any progress. Do you know anything about this battleship? I think its in Bretonian controlled space but I don't know much about military dealings." RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Remnant - 05-10-2014 Freezing for a moment, calculating the situation that was presented to her for a few seconds. Shaking her head to herself, she takes another sip from her drink.
"Right off the bat, putting me in a situation I don't like are you now?" Mumbling something beneith her breath. "I'm going to need more than that. AI data, very well. However I do not know enough about the situation in order to make any decisions on that regard." "I don't like 'spending' favors. I like being owed them instead. Right now, we have nothing with the BPA on which we can ask for it back. And merely waltzing out there and 'asking' for this so called incorrect contraband doesn't give the image that the Commonwealth wishes to aquire." "Honestly, merely going out there yourself and asking for it back may be the easiest way to go about things, i'm sure they would have figured out that this won't fit anywhere on their battleship. York.. Leeds, if I remember correctly hm?" RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - CinnamonStickk - 05-10-2014 *Tobi nods understandingly of the situation.* "Yeah, I'm the same. Well, AI isn't exactly...mine. I just sort of tampered with the files of it to upgrade its systems. The core files aren't my invention so asking for what wasn't mine in the first place...might be an issue." *He sighs.* "Don't worry about it. I'll have to retrieve it another way. But I'll start my search in Leeds then, seems to be the safest bet so far." *Tobi takes another sip from his glass. Spluttering after having too much.* "Eugh! I got to get used to this stuff...You drink this sort of thing all the time?" |
