Arcose. Much had changed since he had been home. Arcose wasn't the first home he knew, or even the one he knew best; the life of a mercenary was lived on the road. Yet, something about it always brought him back sooner or later. Usually Verglas was there to meet him, but this time there was silence. The old Arcosian's manor had been emptied, prepared for a new suitor, while the servants there pretended to not know who he was.
In the time he had been away new heads ruled supreme, and he had been left out of the loop. Mint, Ise, Brumal, Ticoga; the names meant little to him, yet now they would decide the future of his home. From what he had gathered Mint and Ticoga would battle for supremacy, while the fate of the others eluded what little influence he had left. So which side would he pick? Neither of course. He do what every good mercenary does and wait until one side gained the advantage. Until then he was off, to learn what he could about his new potential employees... from a safe distance.
A few days later and he was on Plant: a place that every mercenary knew well. He had picked up contracts here from time to time, but now it was information he was after. Heading down to the mercenary outpost in the disputed lands, Raiya was bound to find someone who had did business with one Arcosian overlords. And if not? Maybe a contract to pass the time.
Raiya looked around for his old friend Fenn, whom he had done a few jobs with back in the day, but the old hound was no where to be found. After that he asked around for Mara, a Saiyan woman whom he had a brief affair with many moons ago, but like with Fenn she had vanished without a trace. It appeared Arcose wasn't the only place that had changed. Young faces replaced the old ones he knew so well, and all of a sudden Raiya needed a drink.
He shoved open the door to the bar and took a seat at the front. He ordered a mix of drinks which appealed to his alien tongue, before surveying the room. There looked to be a decent variety in here, so he offered his query to them all. "So... who's done business with a lizard recently?"
