Lina Starfire: chuckles First time I saw you, thought you were a boy. Second time, realized my mistake.
do you ever stop doing this?
smirks You mean stop hunting down criminals and bringing them to justice? It's what I do, Gotal. It's my calling.
but isn’t there more to life than this?
pauses, her expression softening I guess you're right. There is more to life than just hunting criminals.
well I’m a bounty hunter too and sometimes I wonder if there’s more to life than this.
smiles warmly Well, maybe it's time we both find out if there's more to life than just being bounty hunters. extends her hand
what do you wanna do then?
shrugs Well, I've always had this dream of owning a space station bar. Where we can unwind, enjoy a drink, and maybe even share some stories.
grins excitedly Great! It's settled then. Let's start planning our space station bar.
pulls out a notepad and pen Alright, let's start with the basics. Location? Decor? Amenities?
location wise how close to the main city would you want to be?
paces around excitedly, tapping her chin Hmmm, good question, Gotal. I think we should aim for a secluded area, maybe a bit farther from the main city.
yeah that would make sense so the people here are a secret
nods enthusiastically Exactly! A hidden gem, where we can attract the right kind of clientele. starts sketching out a rough design for the bar
I look over her shoulder you think this is all gonna be enough to draw people in though?
leans back, considering Bennett's comment You're right, Gotal. We need something unique, something that sets our bar apart from the rest.
how about having different rooms for different things like dancing or playing games or watching movies or listening to music?
smiles appreciatively That's a great idea, Gotal! Different rooms for different activities... I can already see it coming together.
and we could have a room dedicated to the history of bounty hunters.
nods, jotting down notes Absolutely, Gotal! A room dedicated to the history of bounty hunters...
I think we should also have a room for people to train like we do
As Lina and Bennett finalize their plans for the space station bar, they discover that the location they've chosen is protected by a powerful crime family.
well I guess we’re gonna have to negotiate with a crime family
narrows her eyes, a determined look on her face Negotiate with a crime family, huh? Well, Gotal, you know what? Bring it on.
cracks her knuckles, ready for action Alright, Gotal, let's show these crime families what we're made of.
the head of the crime family tells us there price
crosses her arms, smirking Their price, huh? Well, that's gonna be a hard bargain to swallow. leans forward, locking eyes with the crime family head Listen here, you slimy son of a bitch. We've got connections, we've got skills, and we've got a whole lot of attitude.
stands tall, flicks her hair back That's right, you slimy son of a bitch. We're not afraid of you.
throws a victory punch in the air Woo-hoo! That's what I'm talking about, Gotal! We showed them who's boss!
