Psychosomatic Struggle

My dear wisp friend

Rat man has been flying the ship for a few hours now, the moon has begun to shine beyond the clouds, the sea underneath raging with each other, and no land in sight. You're suddenly very grateful for your predicament, you would hate the feeling of a stiff and sore body.

   Though with how quiet it is, you wish you were able to do something, the inside was dark, the moon shining across the sky, as everyone keeps to themselves. You redirect your attention on the two robots, mostly focusing on the blonde. Zane has not awaken since his last words. Rat man seemed on edge about the state of the robotic man, as he kept glancing back at his body and mumbling, fingers strumming anxiously on the ships dash. Thinking back, before they got on the ship, he did say something about Chen always finding these two, was it bad that the boy was unconscious?

There's only so much to think about their situation as you redirect onto Pixal. You're not sure if she is sleeping or has shut down, before when she was awake, her eyes stayed bright yet her eyelids closed shut, unlike Zane's. She is slumped over the blonde, his head still resting on her lap. You could still hear the silent whirring of machine from Pixal yet you could not hear the twin sound underneath her.

   You frowned, we're robots in high demand? We're they expensive to fix? Oh fuck . . . Did they run away from their master? Your gut sours. Did you just hop on, in hopes of being comforting, to somewhere bad? Shit! Gripping your head, you inwardly curse your sympathetic heart.

   Your thoughts spill apart as the ship begins to vibrate, Pixal stirs from her slumber, green eyes immediately narrowing, which draws your attention to the approaching castle. Hidden beyond the mountains, behind a wall painted with intricate gold creatures, a palace shines in the night.

   Rat man lowers the ship onto the island, gently on paved rock, as a crowd of people await in front, some holding lanterns, as they assemble parallel to each creating space in the middle as a man in robes awaits in the center. From afar, the man looks silly, but as the ship lands, your heart frets at what you see.

The man in the middle wears snake bones behind and around his head, adorned with a purple snake skin hanging around his neck, and his eyes are covered with red markings as he smiles widely. Glancing to Rat man, his face displeased, as he takes a moment moving around yet not activating any switches, or buttons. Stalling for time it seems. Yet aggressive knocking, causes you and the man to slightly jump, successfully getting everyone's attention, "Wait a damn minute!",  Rat man yells out, wildly raising his fist towards the other man and turning to the two robots, "ya messin with da wrong people Ronin." he whispers to himself as the glass begins to lower, opening to the outside behind him.

"Ahhh, Ronin!" A chirpy male voice booms from the crowd, "My favorite bounty Hunter! Did you bring me my toys?" The man in robes says, staying in place, you don't bother to observe anyone else as your attention was drawn to Pixal and Zane being manhandled by apparently Ronin until he dragged them up towards the group, halting and dropping both without care, just in front of the robed man.

"Just give me the money Master Chen, you have your souvenirs now." Ronin sighs out, foot tapping rapidly, as he holds his hand out.

Master Chen claps excitedly as his smile widens, "Yes yes, I'm awaaree of our agreement. Clouse!!" An older man comes out behind Chen, black hair tied behind his back and a sharp pencil mustache frames his wrinkly face, as he approaches Ronin with a large pouch, "though my most important souvenir seems to be damaged, hmmm?" Chen raises a brow, folding his arms as he squints at Ronin, who is making his way back towards his ship

Ronin hesitates, glancing back, before focusing and striding onto his ship, "Not my problem. You have another robot," stealing a peek at said woman, her body does not tell of her reaction, "Use her and don't contact me again." With a click, the glass rises, eventually closing him off to the island, as the ship begins to vibrate once more before taking off into the night.
