The Best of Both Worlds (Open)

Lima was looking at the board of bounties/jobs he could take in front of town. "Help kitten from tree" said one job. "Not that one, doesn't even pay for a drink around here." Lima crumbles this paper and pulls another from the board, "Gardening tips needed!" "Why would a sayian need to know how to garden?" Questioned Lima to himself. ""All these jobs sucks, I need someone out of town or a tourist of some sort. Most of these jobs are just weirdos."  Lima strolls around town and his stomach growls loudly, he needed to find a job or a bounty quick.


Life was tough without his group of pirate friends, he missed the fun they had. But the Bad definitely out weighed the good, he wish they could never have a problem. Then he sees a ship land in town, and a namekian of all races. "Ask and you shall receive!" Happily thought Lima. Lima walks up towards this fellow Namekian, "Hey there; the names The Drawer, not like the furniture, you don't look like you're from here? What's a namekian doing out here, and how could I help?" Lima asked this Namekian, hoping he just wasn't visiting for fuel, or a rest stop.


His purple gi looks like it's been through hell and back this guy knew how to fight, or just got out of one. Either way Lima was excited to deal with a namekian, he hasn't dealt or gotten a job from one ever. "Hopfully he's not one of those peaceful types, but if his gi is ragged, then surly not." Lima thought to himself not wanting a boring job, and maybe make a new friend down the way.

""Luckily you found yourself the PERFECT hombre!" Lima's been on planet plant for a quick minute, now planet plant wasn't his home planet. In fact Lima didn't know where is home planet was, he grew up on a ship. If anything this was his first planet he didn't just get up and leave quickly, he was intrigued by this planets characters. Lima puts his arm around the Namekian's shoulder "First off you got to know about the previous war that was taken here on this planet." Lima then goes into detail, telling the Namekian about the very thin ice the Sayians and the Tuffles were on.


"A war could break out any minute, one slip up from either side and the war is back on! If you're also looking for some tough Sayians I actually ran into some, Vocado and Pitt are some of the strongest sayians on this planet. They lead the group called the Shredder Corps, depending on where there at, I might be able to setup something for you two. But everything comes at a price!" Lima said as he got off the Namekians shoulder and started rubbing his two fingers together.


It wasn't that he was trying to hustle the Namekian, he was just really hungry and wanted a free meal for the day. If the Namekian had no currency of any type. He would still probably lead him in the right direction of things. ""But enough about me why don't we go to this nearby restaurant, heard they cook a mean Saiba meal there. I'd like to know more about why a Namekian is here?" Lima was curious, Namekians are quite rare for him, having never dealt with one. So he was generally interested in what he was doing on planet Plant.

From the East to the West and back again, Zuqetta found herself once again back in the Capitol. After her encounter with the Demon, Zriracha; as well as her foray at the mercenary outpost off in the badlands, she had been looking to finally take a break from it all. Yet it wasn't to be, as once more, hunger pang pained her to no end. "Ughhhh, I'm sick of nutri-paste..." Zuqetta mumbled, whilst making her way towards a bulletin board for odd jobs and bounties, "Ten zeni... ten zeni is NOT enough to survive off of, VEN!" She groaned in anger against the would be allowance provided to her.

She had trained with Vennel, been in fight after fight, and had improved considerable compared to her first unruly encounter out by the metropolis ruins out in the wastes however; and now clad in her elite class armor, she felt she could more than easily handle a quick job to acquire REAL food! "Help... kitten? What the heck is a kitten?" She questioned, as she looked over the odd jobs displayed, "Dig a ditch?" She continued, before backing away from the board and crossing her arms in annoyance, "Hmph, I doubt ANY of these jobs are worthy of an ELITE such as myself!" She boasted smugly, before feeling the terrible rumbling of her stomach, which caused her stance to slouch slightly.

"Ugh... maybe... maybe I can, 'persuade' a nearby shop to part with some unneeded food." Zuqetta stated in a defeated manner as she turned away from the board and took to looking for a food stall or restaurant to bum off of. Making her way down the road, she was quick to make it upon a restaurant that caught her attention with it's alluring scent. "M-meat?" She questioned, sniffing the air to find the source, "Bleh, saiba steak?" She was able to immediately identify the scent that had attracted her; her least favorite of steak meats, "Still..." With no other recourse, and her stomach deciding her actions, Zuqetta reluctantly made her way into the establishment for an attempt to quell the rumbling that plagued her.

In truth, she'd been brought her food by Vennel and Onnio, making this her first time to set foot into such an establishment on her own. As she walked through the doors, she moved about cautiously, eyeing the inner area curiously with a bit of awe. So this is a restaurant? She thought, Doesn't feel much different from that weird place with the nasty drinks back at the outpost... cleaner maybe, hehe. As she made her way through, she wasn't sure whether she was suppose to sit or find someone in which to order food from; the whole process still being somewhat alien to her. She remembered Rosemary giving a wave of her hand back at the saloon for the alcoholic beverages before sitting, but such a item was the LAST thing Zuqetta wanted right now. As she walked through however, something, or rather, someone would immediately catch her attention...

"What the..." She mumbled, turning her head to face the man; her eyes widening at the sight of him, "The heck!? You're green!!!" She exclaimed, rudely pointing at the Namekian man before rushing over to his table with an air of curiosity about her, "Are you a giant Saibaman!? I didn't know Saibamen could grow so big!!" She continued, her tail waving about in excitement at the sight of meeting such a unique creature for the first time; thought completely unaware of the mistake she made in assuming a Namekian was a Saibaman.

As Zuqetta dug into her sandwich, she couldn't help but laugh a bit at Lima's remark. "Hmhmhm, I'll have ya know, I'm always hungry!" She said in a strangely proud manner, as though her appetite was an accomplishment of some kind, "And I'ma Saiyan! I don't need ta be taken care of!" She continued, her proud attitude unwavering; though at the same time she wasn't quick to forget that she only had a place to stay at the moment thanks to Vennel, "But YOU try eatin' nutri-paste for days straight and see if you like it, bleh!" She stated with an obvious tone of disgust, pulling out an unopened tube of nutri-paste and passing it across the table to Lima as a bit of a thank you.

She was quick to finish off her sandwich; while her tail would sneak food from adjacent tables and passing staff with every other bite. With Lima's actions to imply satisfaction with the food, Zuqetta would laugh, and attempt to follow up with a burp of her own, sadly falling short of Lima's grand belch. "Heh, you're a pretty fun guy, food man!" Zuqetta stated with a toothy grin as she spun herself and the chair around before sitting properly within it to relax, "If my sister knew I was takin' it easy right now? Heheh, she'd be pretty upset, for sure!" She boasted, happy to have found a pair to play hooky with; a welcomed break from her continuous training.

"Oh yeah! I forgot ta ask, what're two strangers like you guys doin' here?" Zuqetta asked curiously as Lima attempted to foot the bill onto Shakuhachi, "I'm sure I've never seen a Namekian; but rarely see any offworlders this deep in the cit-" She continued, before being abruptly interrupted by the sudden arrival of a would be group of robbers.

Zuqetta showed no reaction at first, simply surprised that anyone would try to do a heist in broad daylight; as well as on a restaurant of all things! Are... are these guys for real? Zuqetta questioned to herself, Are they bandits? Mercenaries? Oh damn, Vennel didn't hire people to come after me did she!? I just wanted a quick break!

Slamming her fist into the table to draw the hooded figures attention away from the other patrons, Zuqetta would immediately rise from her seat with a menacing looking grin. "Well! Hello there!" She called out, her tail grabbing the chair she'd previously been sitting on and whipping it away, "I dunno who YOU guys are, but ya just interrupted my nice meal with my good new friends!" She continued, cracking her knuckles within her gloves of each hand. Hehe, this is great! Post meal training is the best kinda training! Zuqetta thought before looking over towards Lima and giving him a thumbs up, "Hey! Let me pay ya back for givin' me some food!" Zuqetta asked before turning her full attention back towards the hooded men and taking up a fighting stance; even should they have bolted from the building, Zuqetta intended to give them a beat down!

---

"Wha-? Shut up kid! We ain't got time for your games!" The head of the bandits would shout, reaching down for a blaster pistol holstered on his left.

"Heh..." With a grin, Zuqetta's tail would reach out and wrap itself around the leg of a chair, before immediately tossing it with extreme force towards the man; slamming into him just as he unholstered his ancient looking blaster, "Who d'ya think you're callin' a kid!?" Zuqetta exclaimed, dashing from her position whilst chucking another chair towards the group as a distraction. She hadn't kept track of all five of the men, but of the three she kept an eye on, one was currently down for the count!

Refusing the distraction, one of the hooded men would reel back before punch straight through the chair, demolishing it; only to be met with the sight of Zuqetta's own reeled back fist as she proceeded to strike the large man directly in the face. "URK!?!?" With that single hit, the man would be sent flying back out the doors of the establishment and into the street.

"Heh, whoops... didn't mean ta hit ya that hard." Zuqetta apologized with a nervous smirk before turning her attention to the third, smallest man that remained standing, "Hmph, you ready for yours!?" Zuqetta yelled, taking up a fighting stance as she prepared to strike.

"WoahWoahWoah!! I surrender, I give!!" The small man begged, stumbling back before attempting to scramble out of the building as quickly as he could.

"Coward!" Zuqetta yelled, grabbing the man that still lay unconscious on the ground beside her, "Better not forget you friend!!" She finished, before tossing the unconscious man towards the one attempting to escape; successfully striking him and causing the group of three to now lie in a pile in the middle of the street. "Fuu, good riddance." Zuqetta stated, turning back towards where Shakuhachi and Lima would have been; just in time to see Shakuhachi destroy a table with one of the two men she'd lost track of, "Hehe, nice one Big Daddy!" She cheered, "But, wasn't there five of 'em? I got three in a 'trash' pile over here!" She questioned, throwing an insult towards the unconscious men she'd defeated.
