Really a Lombax? (Ratchet and Clank Oc DISCONTINUED)

.~*4*~.

I have a feeling that I'm gonna rush this chapter cuz damn I want to write about the space pirates already. But I think after this chapter space pirates will have the spotlight.

.~*🖤❤️‍🩹🖤*~.

When I was entering Hoolefar, I felt a bit nervous. Barnabus Worley is kind, but would he accept that I will now live with them because I was banned from my own society? Oh well, at least I'll give it a go. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. I parked my spaceship near the beach and walked straight to Worley. I took off my west Jacked since it was pretty warm, at least better than on Fastoon. Great place for holidays to be honest. I might also start to work here. I'm kinda getting tired of gambling, really. 

I kinda got lost while searching for Worley. I got some weird looks from the Hoolefoids, I mean, I understand, why would a "Lombax" be on Hoolefar? Maybe I should ask someone..

"Pardon me, but do you know where Barnabus Worley is? I need to have a talk with him." 

The Hoolefoid was a bit taller than the others. Might be someone important, or I'm wrong.

"Ah, he's having a walk somewhere, he'll be back soon, what brings you here to Hoolefar? I'm sure a Lombax has his reasons to speak to the Mayor. Hehe."

Great, a walk. Is he a German or something? 

"I need to speak to him because let's just say, my bond with the other Lombaxes corrupted a bit. I've been searching for a place to stay and I thought you wouldn't mind having me here, would ya?"

I felt a bit awkward, but Hoolefar might be my only hope. It's quiet, nice weather, electricity etc. A nice place for someone like me. 

"I don't know what kind of things you did, but people like you are always welcome. I'm the Beacon Operator of Hoolefar. Welcome home, fellow Lombax. I know Worley wouldn't mind having a Lombax along the Hoolefoids, especially because y'all are pretty famous technicians. You wouldn't mind giving us a hand, of course? You ain't living here rent free after all, hehe."

I sure expected that they want me for technical stuff, but eh, at least I can stay here. I agreed that I would help them with stuff and shit and I will get somewhere to stay and food of course. Later, Worley came back and I agreed with him about the same stuff. He showed me where I can stay and I went back to my spaceship to park it right next to my lair. Packed the stuff out and so on. I'm probably going to take a nap now since it's been a pretty stressful day for me. At least Hoolefoids aren't as loud as Lombaxes. Walking around, humming, talking and other shit. What great peace.

I was taking a small walk around Hoolefar. I feel like the Hoolefoids are gossiping, but I don't really care. Just then I saw the Beacon Operator being completely destroyed. I was curious what shit happened, so I ran up to him in curiosity and asked him what the matter was. He told me that some guy with an annoying parrot went and stole the bolt for the beacon. Annoying parrot..yes, I know one. I traded leviathan souls with that smuggler. The beacon operator said it disappeared today in the morning, so the smuggler is probably still here. I promised the beacon operator that I will look for him and if I find him I'll get the bolt back..or gamble it back.

I have been searching on Hoolefar and still couldn't find him. Only the beach was left. I turned on my Hoverboots and rushed to the beach, if I can't find him there, guess I need to go outside Merdegraw. And I wasn't in the mood to leave for some bolt. The beach was very very small, so one glance could take me to spot the smuggler standing there a bit more further away. I walked up to him and greeted him, since we know each other of course.

"Look what we have here, the Galaxy is small isn't it? I wonder what you are doing here on Merdegraw, I mean, shouldn't you be with the Lombaxes? It's not like I care, but if you're here to exchange something, you're welcome to approach me." 

"Look, I know you have that bolt from the beacon, and don't worry, I have 15 leviathan souls I don't need. Let's make a deal: I give you 15 leviathan souls and you give me the beacon bolt and some bolts for myself. Clear?"

"One question is unanswered dear, why are you on Hoolefar? There is a reason you're here, sure? Or did your fellow race kicked you out of their society? I'm waiting."

Wait..how the fuck does he know that? Is he a stalker or something? This is getting creepy now.

"And how do you know about it? You have nothing better to do than stalking? Yes I got banned and ended up here, now give me the bolt, now."

He gave me the bolt and the bolts and I gave him the leviathan souls. I wanted to make my way back to the beacon operator, but he stopped me.

"Let me tell you something, if you feel like you want to gamble with some professionals, I suggest you to go to Ardolis. Well, it's not really safe for a Lombax like you to just enter it, so if you want to go, I'll accompany you since I'm familiar with the people there. They are space pirates, but I can't say further info about them, you wouldn't handle it."

I don't know what I wouldn't handle about them, but sure, I'll go someday. I made my way back to the beacon and placed the bolt back. Got a good amount of bolts as a reward. Now I'm rich hehe. But I'm still wondering: space pirates? Sounds stupid to me. But i guess I will give it a go. But for now I'll just enjoy my life while I can.
