Hey, we'll probably be leaving in a few days. So is there anything else you guys want from these moons? I can keep an eye out for it.

I mean, unless it's meat. I'm sick of grabbing that stuff, so you're on your own there.

[Public Network Encryption: Public]

[Oh look, maybe he's actually going to be social for once. From the background, it looks like he's hanging out in his ship's quarters. Near him, there looks like there's a tree coming out of the hull. Ah, life with a fairy nature. Also, his hair is short]

So...I've been wondering this for awhile- but is it normal for worlds not to have monsters? Because I've noticed a pretty big lack of them everywhere we go.

Oh, I'm Tohru Adachi. Sorry for the poor manners.

Mercenary? So you've likely taken a variety of interesting jobs then. Got any good stories?

Don't worry about it, Tohru. [...Yeah. he has no idea how japanese names work] Manners aren't exactly my forte either.

[He makes a "ha" sound] Sure do. What kind of stories do you wanna hear?

[Adachi grimaces slightly at the sound of his first name.]

If it's all the same, I prefer Adachi.

Well, if you feel up for grabbing a drink some time, I wouldn't mind hearing a bit about your "dragon slaying."

[a shrug] Adachi then.

Heh, sure. Maybe once we're traveling again. Gotta save something for the even more boring downtimes.

Ah, I was wondering about that. Since I showed up here, we haven't really budged at all. I was beginning to think we were just going to stay put.

[Not that he would complain about that. What with a moon full of alcohol nearby.]

New, then?

[He shakes his head]

Nah, we'll move soon. When we find a planet, we usually stay a few weeks before moving on.

Sort of. I've been here for around three weeks now.

Who decides where we go? I mean, I haven't heard anything about coordinates or even a vague direction in which we're supposed to be headed.

That'd be the Atroma that decides. You know, the guys that brought you here? Who knows what they're thinking up.

Right. Atroma.

[There was that name again. The way this guy used it too... so it doesn't necessary refer to just one individual. Ugh... it was frustrating Adachi how difficult it was to sort the mystery of its identity.]

So they just kind of guide us along, and we follow? Do we even really have a choice? I mean, what's to stop us from just staying here?

Who knows, maybe they wouldn't stop you.

If you wanna stay on some moons full of nutjobs for the rest of your life, feel free to find out for us.

[He honestly would rather take his chances with the fleet]

Ah heh, good point. It still seems kinda dangerous to just blindly follow along though. I mean, how do we know for sure if each planet we visit is going to be hospitable?

[Adachi did have to concede that, as annoying some of the dumbasses in this fleet were, it was better than stranding oneself on some random planet. No, his best chance at accomplishing his goal was to stay with the fleet.]

Hmmm...we don't!

[Said quite lightly]

Oh... well, uh... that's not very reassuring...

What can I say? I'm a mercenary, not a motivational speaker.

[As unhelpful as that last bit was, Kaneis had at least given him something to think- or rather, worry about.]

Well, sorry I wasn't quite able to answer your original question Kaneis-san, but I would still like to hear more about your mercenary adventures sometime. Let me know when you feel up for a drink or two?

[Sure would make for some good drinking entertainment.]

Heh, don't worry- you answered it on your own way.

But sure. I'm never opposed to having a good drink or two. I'll catch you later, Adachi.

Nice meeting you Kaneis-san.
