Raffles & Giveaways

(this is a very very late roleplay reply since my issued bounty on Nov 9th I'm very sorry! College and work had me caught up) [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/818951/81895040.png[/img] Aetherfang slinks around the jungle outside of the base sniffing around the leaves and slinking through the forested planet. She hears distant screeching birdcalls and loud caws of many animals she didn't recognize. This bounty would be quite the major test. "I'll need to be quiet moving through the canopy" she climbs up one of the old trees her wings folded tightly against her back as she moves claw over claw branch over branch till she had reached the top. She can see various nests from where she was hidden, unfortunately no the sort of creature she was hunting for her mission. She walks along a wide branch carefully before lifting off with a leap when there was enough room for her wings to spread. Moving over the trees in circles she eventually sees a flash of blue and green near the riverside trees and trails after it in a dive. She sees the bird and feathered fiend and pounces after it, on for her scarf to get caught among the river brambles and tangle her up in its thorny clutches, Scaring off her bounty faster than lightspeed. Aetherfang hisses at the bush once she'd finally freed herself and claws up the dirt. Her mate Mosswing would be so disappointed this adventure she'd taken on hadn't the happiest ending as she tore the gift he'd gotten her, and lost the prize. She headed back towards the station to admit her defeat in person to the station. The scratches on her hide would fade, but the memory and embarrassment would stick around at least a day or two when she'd tell Mosswing. She hands over the file with her written report and the last spotted location of the peacock firebird she'd been assigned to find. She talks of how she'd camped out for a few weeks in the region in order to locate where the beasts migrated too, overall she'd given up hope since she wanted to return back to her cozy lair partner. {ps! I don't if this disqualified me and I'm sorta bummed I missed the event(oops!) but I wanted to finish my story! thank you guys for setting this up!}

Ooo, the what-ifs are interesting! I'll probably try to step back a bit next event because I feel a little bad that my character got to take center stage so much this time, but I had a lot of fun!

For Juliana, she actually planned on moving negotiations to the H's ship after the crowding of the Interceptor. (Ideally, by docking the Interceptor in their ship, if it had a large enough bay.) She held off on that because she doubted it would go over well with the rest of the crew, and may alarm the crowd, but if the H's remained upset over the crowding incident, that would have been her recourse.

Additionally - ZincAlloy made a really good catch with Tide! By the end, she was favoring U&P quite a bit. Both because she wasn't there for the initial attack, and because she struggles somewhat with empathy and needs to stay actively aware of it. Something that got more and more difficult for her as problems started cropping up! She started to get rather exhausted with "her" side of the negotiation making (what she saw as) emotional, poor decisions during such a high stakes situation, and eventually ended up snapping at the others due to it.

(She would have liked seeing them form a shop here to perhaps desensitize the Station staff and visitors to the sight of U&P, but perhaps that could be somewhere in the future. She's optimistic for resolving things peacefully, but rather exasperated with the Star Station and affiliates.)

The rest of the Interceptor's crew is a bit more wary, but still optimistic for a good outcome. They're more empathetic to their fear than Juliana is, but as a whole I think they also believe U&P was being truthful and acting in good faith.

I don't think she's likely to voice it, but her prime suspect for the bounty board incident at the moment is Neon. This is both due to the light incident (which she sees as, possibly, actively trying to sabotage diplomatic efforts), and the nature of his work.

But, yeah - I had a lot of fun! Thank you guys for the roleplay and ColorfulCredit especially for hosting. c:

There really isn't a time limit on these things o3o @Venusian Ohh, having them dock with the U&P ship would have been very interesting. Not sure how that might have gone, but it would have been crazy! And, I honestly wanted the shop to pop up too but given everything that had happened I decided against it. They may came back at a later date to set up shop but who knows? ;P Thanks for giving me a bit more insight into your character. This was fun to read through and measure out. Also, don't worry about overreaching. Like I said, I run these like D&D games so while one person may be in the spotlight over here, another can be doing something entirely different down the hall. Everyone just happened to be in one group this time around. @Mlly LOL, poor Candy. They kind of got stuck in a spot there. We'll see about a tea station in the bounty board for them.[/center] [size=2]I have small brain[/size]

@ColorfulCredit Could I perhaps snag a [item=Tertiary Gene: Capsule]? c:

Tincture nods in silent approval at the bounty. Studying the paper reveals that the centaur is needed for a smithing convention of sorts and the location of their lair.

It turns out the group lives in the desert near the emberglow hearth, their manes lit by both the pale cyan of lighting and the amber heat of magma. It illuminated their encampment dramatically from below and makes the bodyguard's hide shimmer like the twilight sea, reflecting off his armor like an midnight sky, winking stars into existence.

When she's led to him by a young foal, she curtsies, kree ofer knee, as is most respectfull amongst the hardy smiths and roaming engineers of the shifting expanse. It shows a willingness to soften stance, a moment where work and hot steel is set aside to observe silently. The centaur bows back, a traditional smith's sweep to show appreciation of shared values and honorable conduct.

Tincture rights herself first, her sleeve draping to the side to show her scarred arms.

"Greetings. I come with good intention and aim to bring keen skills and efficient learnings to you and yours."

The centaur nods, a smile lighting up his eyes.

"Well spoken, and a warrior besides! Tell me what you've come for and I shall consider my best!"

The ridgeback smiles in return, explaining her plight to escort the centaur to a his smithing convention, stressing her certainty that he does not need her help, but impressing firmly her need to honour a contract of any kind.

Despite the frown at the news, warrior's honour wins out and Tincture gains his respect. With little hassle, she escorts him to the bounty station, where she leaves him to the care of others.

During mealtimes she has kept exacting logs about the terrain, weather and client satisfaction, which she hands over as part of her report.

"Returned to you are the records of my plight. If the report appears satisfactory, could I perhaps ask for the Gem Thief apparel as reward?
