Crosswinds of the Universe, Part 2
BANG BANGBANGBANG!
Gunshots could be heard outside of the tavern. Well, only if you were really listening. The tavern was so noisy that one could barely hear anything over the music, laughter, and cheering. Every once in a while someone would glance at the door as they heard another round of gunshots. But on this planet, gunshots were pretty normal to hear. And the girly screams of men running for their lives were pretty normal too...right?
Only minutes before, Jotaru Joesi, a young woman with a powerful punch, stepped off of the steps of the inn and let out a yawn as she stretched her arms skyward. It was another day to look for work. Her brother told her that her best shot for a line of work would be to be hired by a big shot. Now a big shot in her mind only meant two things. The Seventh Sanctum and The Jade Empire. As Jotaru walked out toward the tavern, a few wolfy howls could be heard in her genreal direction. She turned her head to see a couple scraggly men whistling at her. This action made Jo rather angry. How dare they hoot and holler at a person such as herself? Didn't they know she was a man!?
"Th' hell you whistling at!?" She shouted at the men and pulled out her dual Desert Eagles. She shot once, then quickly three times. Instantly, the men screamed and ran. "I'll show you what to whistle at!" She growled and continued to shoot. Her right cybernetic eye locked onto one of the men and she ended up purposely shooting him in the shoulder. Her target went to the next and she shot him in the leg. The last in his arm. Once them men were a good enough distance away and rendered useless, Jo twirled her guns and placed them in their holsters before walking into the tavern.
Once inside, she looked around. Now...where were those big shots?

On The Verge, Part 1 cont.
The Overcooked Cook
"Listen you shitty old geezer! I'm not going to take being thrown out of the damn Lolita! Hey! Get back here old man!" Loki's words fell on deaf ears as the other workers of the Lolita just shook their heads and offered meaningless words of condolence. Once Zeff decided on something it happened. Vexed beyond belief the irritated man was left with nothing more than a half pack of cigarettes, a lighter and 50 dollars in his pocket. "Shit" Was the only word to describe his situation.
Shouts of culinary commands drifted out into the tiny alleyways behind the Lolita as Loki made his way back into the crowded streets of midday. Embrose was a big city by his standards, it'd be more than easy enough to find a cheap place to sleep tonight as Zeff cooled down. That seemed to be the only downside to his life. When the craggy cook was in a bitter mood Loki was kicked out of not just the Lolita but his loft above the restaurant too. "Fifth time this month... What a bother..."
Pulling out a cigarette he chewed the end lightly before lighting up and letting the crowd pull him in every which direction. The crowd never seemed to thin out but the type of people he began to pass did, in very drastic ways. There were a lot less women around was the first thing he noticed, there were only ape like figures that seemed to represent women in some foreign comical way. Secondly there were many filth-ridden men about, men with tattoos and many more with missing teeth. And lastly the shops lining the sides of the street were peddled by shady folk dressed in dark colors with hidden faces.
