DmZ is the Dungeon Master/ Narrator
DmZ: Following the events of the group's intense battle, they go to a bar when they see a female Aasimar fighting the bartender.
???: I know rotten beer when I taste it... I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT BUT I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO BE WARNED, ASSHOLE!
Bartender: Yeah, well suck it up ya dumb broad [his fist hits her nose with a sickening crunch]
DmZ: The Aasimar steps back clutching her face, but looks up revealing she took not even a scratch of damage. She pulls a claymore sword as long as her body right out of thin air as if she'd been holding it the entire time
???: Look, see, I wasn't gonna kill you but I hate when a lady like myself isn't treated with respect.
DmZ: She holds up her sword and it begins to glow with a sinister red aura that extends down her arms and courses through her body.. No one except Moth notices it.
Moth: What's a monk doing out here in space? [He thinks to himself]
DmZ: In a red blur of speed the woman cleaves the bartenders head clean from his shoulders. The Aasimar smirks holding up her blade and the party feels an immense heat coming from the woman and her sword. The bartender starts to turn to ash exploding in a shower of blood and dust.
Tahli: [she stabs her sword into the ground and leans against it staring straight at the party]
The name's Tahli and I've been looking for you bozos. A friend from Region Caliber sent me to buddy up with the fabled Copper Skulls, so here I am to fuck shit up.Domenios:The old gang split up. Now it's just me and Wormwood. Anyways, who the hell sent you?
Wormwood: [he sighs clearly knowing who] It was that dumb lizard Adonis, Demi.
Tahli: [Laughs] How'd you know it was him, little man?
Wormwood: Well since you asked so nicely, Adonis' scaly hide had a way with the females. I'm not interested in LIABILITIES most people call women, and my pal Demi here has already been smitten with Len, one of the original skull-
Domenios: [Kicks Wormwood, clearly not wanting Wormwood to finish his thought] Bottom line is we know who sent you. No need to go down memory lane. [He says looking at Wormwood]
Tahli: [shrugs and walks out of the bar, dragging her claymore with ease as she walks onto the Obsidian Pearl]
Well let's get going! I'm bored and killing that bartender left me wanting to kill me some baddies... and I am not talking about milfs.
DmZ: The rest of the team walks out of the bar and onto the ship.
Lilura: Hi, Tahli! I'm Lilura! you can call my la-
Moth: You can keep your distance from me and Lilura until I deem you trustworthy.
[he says leading Lilura below deck]Lilura: [waves while following moth] Bye byyyeeee!
Dobby: Yeah...I guess I'd smash.[then walks away]
Domenios: [sits in a lawn chair set up on the deck] Yo, Worm would you take us to the next SSS-Class mission?
Wormwood: Are you sure Demi? I'd hate to kill off our new crewmate so fast. [he snickers over the intercoms]
Tahli: [responds with a middle finger right at Wormwood who's up in the control room.]
DmZ: Just before Wormwood is about to take off someone calls out.
???:Hey you guys have room for one more?
Tahli: [leans over bored and sees a pale skinned black hair rocker boy with a playful grin and red sword]
Yeah hop on.Domenios: We aren't a garbage truck picking up trash off the street, Tahli.
DmZ: The pale man jumps on board gracefully like a feather and bows in front of Tahli and takes her hand, kissing it.
Leviathan: My name is Leviathan but beauties such as yourself can call me Levi.
[Moth rushing from deck]: Guys! A VAMPIRE IS ATTACKING!
[Moth sees Leviathan kissing Tahlis hand and he immediately goes on attack]
[Leviathan draws his sword but instead of a normal sword stance he holds it like a guitar and ghost- like strings appear. He plays an electric guitar rift. Moth passes out immediately, dropping to the ground]
[Domenios rushes Leviathan, swinging his axe, but Leviathan drops his sword and puts his hands up]
Leviathan: Hey man, he attacked us first. I didn't want him to harm this fine lady so I played him a lullaby. Trust me.... I won't bite.
[He says smiling wide showing off his pointed teeth][Tahli knocks Leviathan out and holds him by one leg overboard]
Tahli: Should I throw him overboard, Cap'n?
Domenios: No Tahli that's quite alright. After all, that's no way to treat a fellow crew member, right?
DmZ: The Obsidian Pearl ascends and puts up its flag and blasts off into space leaving a darker than black streak across the sky
