OoC: okay, offer posted. Wonder if anyone will want to join.
EDIT: AND nothing. Want to do something anyway? I'm sure Rex could wander the ship and see the sights for a bit.

OoC: No problem.
Lyra walked out of the medbay, helmet left behind for their fourth comrade. She heads into the main room and sinks into a couch placed there.

Lyra glanced at Raichu. "You know those things can only hold one thing at a time right? You're wasting a bit of power for style."
Lyra giggles a little, and holds out her hands to keep Raichu away. "I'm surprised he's so friendly after Alex caught his last trainer in the back of the head with a trash can. And if you think he'd do fine without it, fair enough."
Rex shrugs a bit. "Let's just say I'm trying to teach Raichu to think for himself for once. I'm sure he likes the independence. He seems to take after me quite a bit. Maybe it's because we both use electricity as a way to get things done."
Raichu curls up on Lyra's lap.

"Well then, I'm happily supportive of independence. That's what the long fang drilled into us from day one. I can teach you, but you've got to make your own decisions in life. He was quite good at inspiring confidence." She idly scratches behind Raichu's ear. "Still, you don't use just the electricity right? I saw you packing some great big broadsword when you and the berserker took down that huge turtle."
"How does that work? Seems like you guys have some weird symbiosis going on." Lyra began itching the crown of the head for Raichu.
OoC: my responses will be more sporadic, but I'll be responding.

Rex scratches his head then gets up to explain.
"To put it simply, imagine the demon and I are playing tug of war with my soul. The more I use her power, the more of my soul goes into her possession. If she gains a large majority on my soul, she'll take over my body and personality, then I will cease to exist in this body and as a spirit. As part of our "contract", she'll slowly return my soul to me as long as I don't over use her power. In hindsight, it's weird, but I did save her from being trapped in a box for however many eons she was in there... Guess it's her way of saying thanks."
Raichu lets out a happy "Rai~" as Lyra scrathes his head.
OoC: Alright, man.

"huh." Lyra stared off for a bit, before scratching more vigorously at Raichu's head. "We've got some weaponry you could use, to ensure you don't lose your soul. Heavy armor piercing weapons, some nice spears and swords, blades that'll cut you when you glance at them. At the very least it will make the job less nerve racking, less concern that this time you'll lose your soul if you use her."
OoC: that last bit got messed up, redone for more accurate readings.

"Thanks for the offer, but my fists and shock value have gotten me this far. I'm sure what happened with that turtle won't happen again." He slumps back down into his couch. "So what made you want to rove around space with your buddies?"
Raichu seems to have gone into a world of ecstasy.

"Not too much choice involved in it. We used to orbit Earth, make sure none of the less reputable alien clans could land and hunt humans for sport. My teacher, Long Fang, was our leader. He had to take any challenges their clans threw at us, as long as they met the limits on who could fight him. 3 clans that were much larger then us showed up and their leaders all challenged him at once. He was able to beat all of them, but died in the process. Because of that we got shoved into the alleyways of space, and wandered around ever since. The whole clan isn't actually hear though, we got scattered helping out less fortunate." she begins counting on her free hand. "Mitsuki is out in the center of the universe, trying to help out a clan of possibly physically perfect sentients build up a space empire, Mikey's a gun runner for a rebel army, Miguel helps clear out hulks in space that have been infested by a myraid of disgusting creatures, and Lorenzo is busy tutoring art students on Goranda. Those guys can't see in the third dimension, which is... frustrating from what he mentions. And the other 2 are collecting apprentices to train as the next generation of Wolfs."
Lyra nodded at Cohen, before turning back to Rex. "He was never really happy to begin with. He kind of stopped trusting his species, and started thinking of himself has human, even though he was an alien. I'm pretty sure that for him it was a final chapter that needed to be written. And we do alright, although I wish we had more members."
The sheriff walked in. "Nah, Team rocket's dead. I made sure of that myself. I don't think any terrorist groups are forming themselves yet, which is part of why I was willing to join you guys." He plopped on the couch looking at the others.
