A slight figure hung about the side of the ship. Her amber eyes glinted brightly, shining through the night. She slipped towards the gangway, feet making no sound. She looked left, right. A feline tail swished behind her. She was but a shadow. She leapt up the gangway, and was briefly caught by a latern's light. She was of feline appearance, similarly to the captain of the ship, excepting that the shadowy figure looked younger and had a black cat's ears and tail. Her hair was messier than the captain's as well, and blonder. It was short, but ruffled. A snore echoed from nearby. The figure's ears pricked alertly, and she turned in that direction. She was dimly visible in the latern light, though she'd moved away from it. Her clothes were equally unkempt, a peasant shirt and plain dark pants. As the snoring ceased, the figure began to shrink. She became a black cat, with a few gold stripes on her ears. She looked innocently at the sailor, who was staring at her sleepily. Janzi.. you need to be more careful, she thought to herself.

Aisu stepped out from the shadows of a nearby building. Her left half would have scared young children, but thankfully there were none to scream in terror. Her entire left half was robotic. On the other hand, her right side was absoulutely beautiful. It was a nice counter-balance.

Amelia stood, looking at the map. They were going a little farther then usual, they'd need many provisions.. but they'd need equipment for any repairs needed. It was a fiercer part of the Etherium. But then, the fiercer the Etherium around the planet, the better trade was. Any planet hard to get to sold low and bought high, as they had to, or else die in the trade. The dim lantern light was beginning to grow weak, but the captain tirelessly traced countless routes. A knock broke her from her fierce contemplation. "Come in," she said, partially relieved. "We found it upon decks, ma'am. What should we do with it?" The large burly spacer was holding a small black cat with strikingly gold eyes. The captain sighed. "Leave it here." Amelia knew she could use the company, as Doppler was staying in port. He had lectures to give, and she understood he was busy. She uttered a sigh, before realizing the spacer still stood in the door. "Well, carry on. You're dismissed." The alien was ushered out. The captain sighed, and laid down on a window seat. She was tired. The black cat came over, and Amelia gently scratched its head with gloved hands.
The black cat was secretly cursing its bad luck. Caught like a rat in the Captain's quarters. She was fine now, but after a while, her cat form would become to cramped for her. She sighed, she would have to eventually reveal herself. But it could wait until they were away from port. She just needed to be away from here, first. She began to wash herself, licking her paws and running them over her face. The ship was scheduled to launch tomorrow morning. Then she could surely show herself.

Aisu glanced at the ship. Odd, she had expected it to be bigger. Oh well. If her sources were correct, this ship would lead to somewhere wealthy. Her brown hair flew over her face, and she quickly brushed it aside. Grasping the pentagram around her neck for good luck, she quickly darted aboard the ship. Aisu hoped her luck would hold. She slipped behind a crate and made herself comfortable.

Janzi waited for the captain to fall peacefully asleep before she made her escape through the open window. She leapt to the deck below, landing softly. She darted behind the barrels to her right, but ran into something cold and hard. She looked up, and saw another person. A cyborg really. She was aboard the ship.. hiding. She must be a stowaway, as well. "Hello," whispered the cat. Her gold eyes shone brightly.

Aisu jumped, clearly startled. She had been lost in thought, day-dreaming, or night dreaming rather, of the loot that she could get. "Oh..Uh. Hello there." Aisu whispered back, only able to see the cat through her left eye. That was a plus to being a cyborg, she could always see no matter how bright or dark it was.

"I'm Janzi. You a stowaway, too? I'd change into my human form, but I don't want to get us caught." The black cat's eyes suddenly flashed a darker shade of gold. "You wouldn't let them catch us, would you?" She was growling this time, ears back and tail lashing, but that quickly ended. Her ears went back upright, and her tail waved behind her with pride. "That wouldn't be any fun."

"Yeah I'm a stowaway too... And why in all the hells would I want to get us caught? I doubt we'll get caught anyways. I've snuck aboard many ships before." Aisu said quietly. She cast a quick glance around, then returned her gaze to the cat.
((I was thinking that I'd have Jim pop in and go "BOO!" XD but that wouldn't end well ))

((That's actually a good idea. Janzi would probably briefly try to claw his face off.. Jim could pick her up the scruff... XDDDDD )) "So.... name?" she asked. "I told you mine. You could tell me yours, too, ya know. I don't exactly have anything to gain by running off and screaming it to the heavens, do I?" The cat sat down, grooming her face. It was kind of a casual gesture she made often to show she was comfortable with someone.

Aisu laughed slightly, "My name is Aisu." she replied softly.
"Hmm.. What do we have here? A couple of stowaways? Interesting." A male's voice said sleepily.

Janzi's fur stood on end as though she'd been electrified. "RUN!" she shouted, before launched herself into the air. She landed on the man's face, gaining holds with her claws, scrabbling about in a frantic attack. "MROWR! PFFT! PFFT! HISSSSSSSS!" She enjoyed getting to make the cat noises. It sounded so wonderfully angry.

Jim's eyes grew wide, "Hey! Get off me! " He cried in suprise, attempting to pull the cat off his face. "Don't worry, I'm not going to turn you in. Just curious as to why you're hiding. I doubt the captain would mind a cat and a cyborg all that much. I mean, cyborgs are good at fixing things right?"
"Hey!" Aisu bristled in anger, "Thats sterotyping you know! And I hate people who sterotype!" she growled, her yellow cyborg eye turning red. Aisu had to becareful though, she had learned that too much anger could overload her circuits. It was like a built-in angermanagement program, no need to ever waste money for those stupid classes!

Janzi released him, suspended in the air by one of Jim's hands. She growled, before twisting free. She dropped to the ground, and transformed quickly. Her semblance to the Captain was striking, or perhaps it was simply that they were both Felinids. Her black ears were set back. "I'm a little more than a cat, I'll have you know," she growled. Her tail lashed. Most Felinids didn't have tails, those who did were considered good luck. But a Felinid with black ears was bad luck. Golden eyes represented destiny, importance. Janzi was just a bunch of superstitions rolled into one.

Jim laughted softly, "I figured as much. Even so, I still don't think she would mind all that much...You know. I'm starting to notice a patern here.. The only Felinids I've ever seen are female. Huh." Jim added that last part as a thought accidentally said outloud.
Aisu glared at Jim. Her red eye didn't leave him. There was something about Jim that she didn't trust, but she'd have to anyways. He was being nice to them..other than the stereotype comment..She sighed quietly, and curled up against the crate, deciding to ignore him.

"I did have a dad, ya know. And he was a Felinid. We ain't Amazons, if that's what you're thinking," replied Janzi shortly. She rubbed her side. "Geez, did you have to hold me so tight when you were trying to get me off." A pale purple was visible through the side of her shirt. Just barely, but it was there. If it was visible through the shirt, it was obviously a rather bad bruise. She let out a little growl of discomfort.
