Parallax- Chapter 8

"...Ok, I'm just going back to hiding from Chiyoko."

"Yellow Pinstripe perhaps?" He thought for a second. "My suit size is 38R..."

"Alright, the yellow will take a bit longer, and it'd be easier to get that tailor made, but you want it generic?" Steve asked.

"I heard my name..." Chiyoko said, turning toward Shali...

"EEP!" Shali cowered. "Please don't hurt me!"

sounds tempting but...I probably should wait before I go get a strong drink...

"Huh? Why would I hurt you?" Chiyoko asked.

"What? Did you think I was going to let you have some?" Ryan asked John, "Are you even old enough to drink?"

"What you did to me."

"My memory is fried right now from trying to remember names..." Chiyoko said.

(to ryan) depends on the system and who controls it...

Shali breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank gods..."

"I'll probably remember tomorrow, and no one's name... You look fimiliar at least..." Chiyoko said.

"The standard system some Humans passed a while back for all species and governments. You have to be at least eighteen as a Human or Dronok, and twenty-two as a Cazanan," Ryan said.

why so much further for cazanan? grrr...the humes would do that

"Yeah well, Cazzies can't take the booze as well if you haven't noticed. As for us Fronzoks, we can process the alcohol so well, it doesn't even affect us! That's why we don't have a age limit..." Ryan said.

then why are you buying it?

"Because it tastes better than soda, and isn't as crappy as beer... Why would I not want to buy it?" Ryan said slowly...

meh its never been a problem before...but that may be becuase I lived on an outlying world that nobody cared about...but...I'll have a ship to catch in a couple hours anyways...

"Unless it was a Rouge World, you must have just had a nice bartender..." Ryan said, buying the Alma.

"Soooooooooo you guys are new any thing i should know erika?" "and steve can i get 1 warrior dagger and 2 pistols

Turns back to Steve. "Oh. I guess a custom made would be smarter then."

"Oh, Duma, I need to ask you something. Why'd you hug me?"

"idk i think i just really missed you"

"Oh. Alright then." Thank god he didn't ask about THAT.

"Alright," Steve said, pulling up the dagger and pistols, "And yes, tailor made would be better."

"Oh hey whos the lucky guy" Duma asks winking "and thank you"

*Walks into Steve's Stuff*

((Says to Steve))"Hullo, I'm expecting since that the store's name is Steve's Stuff, the owner's name is Steve...? Where can I find him? I've heard some good things about this shop..."
