The Smiling Beauty

[Gundam Revival GM]

The beautiful woman who had invited Auray and the rest of Vis Vires onto the ship stood at the open docking bay of colony X-1o, which sat comfortably within the massive ship's docking bay. People all around the colony worked on temporary braces to keep the colony as steady as possible.

The woman was a sight to behold, he silver hair ran down to her calves, her eyes, the color of aymethist, her skin so soft and creamy. Many men working found themselves staring at the beauty, both in awe and wonder. The woman smiled cheerfully as she watched the men work, happy to have some more company on her ship. Though, she did feel like they were being a little distant. She wanted someone to talk to, especially since Pavidus was busy with Auray.

Someone talk to me, she thought as she continued to smile and look about the docking bay.
Just then a man with a puzzled look came up to the woman, "Excuse me", he said.
"Hello, my name is Venus, how are you doing today?" She said, kinda quick, her smile as big as ever.
"Ummm..." the man was caught off guard, "...where can I put these?" The man motioned to a forklift carrying several boxes. Before she could answer him, another man yelled for the man with the forklift. The man got into the forklift and was off before she could say another word.

Venus stood there, still smiling, hoping someone would come over to talk.

Xiefall took his time making his way around the colony. Half of him wanted his comm to go off and Auray to call him to speak, but the other half was rather interested in finding some things out for himself. X-10 had been swallowed whole by another ship. A ship able to encase an entire colony certainly had some secrets to discover.

He made his way to Contra Mundi in the hangar, but stopped short. The world had started moving at a torrential pace and he hadn't even noticed. The hangar was packed with activity and it was hard to even tell what others were doing. Most were no doubt doing their normal activities but there certainly was more going on.

It was then he noticed the transformation going on to X-10. It was all but becoming integrated into the larger ship. The Colony was having braces attached to it and it began to resemble a rooting system.

I wonder if this is permanent.

Part of him wished it was. It would be nice to have an army again. A group finally able to bring Vis back into the spotlight, but an all but infinite amount of questions remained about the events unfolding, just one of which is how this ship will relate to Vis Vires.

He began mindlessly wandering, taking in the sights and sounds of the new world unfolding. It was certain, things were about to get interesting, as if they hadn't been before.

And then he stopped in his tracks. About 20 meters from him stood a stunning woman. Not that there weren't beautiful women on X-10, but no one even held a candle to the beauty staring out into the crowd. Xie watched for a moment and tried to figure out who she was; what she was doing in a chaotic hangar like this.

He couldn't help but catch himself staring a bit, something a little out of character to Xiefall, but I suppose a woman like this must have caused quite a few of the strongest sort to stop in their tracks.

[Xiefall]

After a few moments, Xiefall caught himself luckily before she noticed.

Now's as good a time as any to do a little recon myself.

Xiefall switched off the assassin in him and began walking towards, not quite head on. He didn't want to startle her, though she seemed perfectly happy being smack dab in the middle of the traffic. He closed slowly on her and gave her a light tap on the forearm to get her attention.

"Hello. You seem to be new here. Is there anything I can help you find? Are you from the colony or our new docking station?", Xiefall asked as innocently as he could seem.

[Gundam Revival GM]

Venus continued to stand off to the side and away from being in the way of all the movement by the workers of the colony. She watched as all the new people hustled about, preparing both Colony X-10 and the docking bay of the unknown ship that the colony now resided in. Every once in a while, the plain clothing of her people would grab her attention as small groups would interact with the new people.
Venus was suddenly a bit sullen, thinking about all the people that were too afraid to show up at the docking bay and meet their new tenants.
They'll warm up to everyone, she thought, the wide and cheerful smile reappearing on her face.

Just then she turned to see a young man approaching her, when he was close enough, he spoke, "Hello. You seem to be new here. Is there anything I can help you find? Are you from the colony or our new docking station?"

Venus couldn't hold back her bright smile, finally someone stopped to talk to her and she was excited to speak with new people.
"Hello!" she started, overly excited, "my name is Venus and this is my ship, the Serra Excelus."
She smiled innocently, asking, "and what is your name, good sir?"

[Xiefall]

Xiefall was a little taken aback at how cheerful this 'visitor' was and initially paused for a moment, which he tried his best to hide by responding quickly.

"My name is Xiefall. I'm a member of Vis Vires operating under Auray. Though I suppose that may change with Pavidus' return.", Xiefall spoke briefly and paused. His purposeful ignorance was catching up with him. He quickly threw those into the far reaches of the back of his mind. His reason for approaching was information.

"Speaking of Pavidus, do you mind if I ask how that all came about? He's been missing for quite a while, and out of the blue, he returns, to a location I was under the impression no one else knew of. Though he certainly has methods I'm sure only he can fathom."

Xiefall waited for whatever answers he could get and then continued his questioning, trying a different tactic. He tried to be a little more cheery as his new friend. He began looking around at the colony and how it compares to the new surroundings.

"Your ship is quite impressive. How is it possible to be this large? It seems the size of an entire planet to be able to swallow and entire colony like a piece of candy."

[Gundam Revival GM]

Venus stood there staring at Xiefall, not hearing a word after his name. First she was excited, recognising the name almost immediately, then her face contorted into a cutely confused expression, her head tilting ever so slightly.

"Where are my flowers?" she blurted out, seemingly thinking out loud. She looked around Xiefall to see if he was holding anything, seeing he wasn't. As if she had said something wrong, she stopped, her face growing rose colored as if embarassed.
I forgot, I'm not supposed to say anything about that. Oh, well, can't be helped now she thought, shrugging to herself.

The bright smile returned as she looked at Xiefall, "you have to get me flowers."

Although she was cheerful and smiling wide, it was a serious request. For some reason, she was expecting flowers from the young man. And she would't take no for an answer.

[Xiefall]

"Where are my flowers?"

Xiefall stopped and stood there, not sure how to react. He wasn't exactly sure what to say. First because she just blatantly ignored him, and second, what makes her even think flowers would exist on a place like X-10? He couldn't even squeak a word out.

"You have to get me flowers."

Now Xiefall was dumbfounded.

She's serious?!

"Uhm ... Well ...", Xiefall stuttered out. Between Venus's looks and obscure request, he was as fumbled as any fight or mission had ever made him. He wasn't sure what to do. This is beyond his expertise.

He thought for a moment and made the only real decision he could come up with.

"Alright, follow me. Let's find you some flowers."

Xiefall held his arm out toward Venus like he had seen in the movies, ready to figure out a way to get some flowers... But no clue if he even could.
