Vetri's Ventings: So floaty...
03 Feb 2016Phrae Vetri
I am so high right now...Maybe if I'd gone to med school like Mom wanted, I'd understand any of the drugs they've got swimming around in me right now, but... meh, I'ma just gonna go 'wheeeeee' for a while.
There was a point to all this... Oh, right.
So, the Lil' Bus is gone. Toast. Kaboomed. She was a bucket, but what do you expect from a Hauler? Real kicker was, didn't get splashed by some pirate after my cargo or anything. Nope. Yet another wunnerful case of Phrae's luck strikes again.
What was I...? Yeah. Splashed. Got it. Good drugs...
Heading out, loaded up with racks full of, of all things, tea, and some cowboy comes screaming into the station's dock at pull throttle. I had about enough time to see it was a way bigger ship than me, and bits of it seemed to be on fire - then splat!
After I got peeled out of the wreck and woken up enough to not be a complete vegetable, the local law told me what had happened. Seems the cowboy had been chased all the way here by some guys after his butt. They nearly got it, too, but he reached the station first.
Heh... bad luck, buddy, 'coz you were so ripped up by them that the Lil' Bus smashed what was left of ya.
'Course, she got mangled too, but...
Oh, fun fact! That guy had so much of a bounty on him that when the locals decided I'd taken him out - yay me! - I got enough of a payout that, with the insurance, I can get me a whole new ship!
Once the docs finish fixing m' legs... an' m' belly... an' the drugs wear off...
I don' want the drugs to wear off. They feel so floaty...

Huh? This thing still on?
I'm gonna go sleep now...
