<div class="floatleft">(http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Blondes/js1-1.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Keridwyn "Keri" Jones<br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>Pilot<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Loading Bay, the Bridge<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Lance, Braxton, Sue<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>”We got ourselves a free landing pad, courtesy of our little core-princess and I want you on the bridge as soon as possible." </em><br/><br/>Keri blinked in surprise when Braxton took the packages she had picked up from her, but was less so when he mentioned that they now had a clear landing pad. That meant they could drop off the goods and get paid! Being paid was never a bad thing, even if she didn't spend most of what she made. It wasn't like she needed much and some of the crew would likely be surprised to realize just how much coin she had saved up in her bunk. Not that she was sharing that bit of information!<br/><br/>"No problem, Captain. Always happy to avoid the grunt work!" she said with a laugh before flashing a grin at Lance and holding out her empty hands to emphasize that she was getting out of the physical labor...on the Captain's orders of course!<br/><br/>Turning to head out she saw Sue coming into the loading bay but before she could say anything she noticed the he was leading his "niece" around in a pair of handcuffs! Rolling her eyes her good mood evaporated and she didn't stick around to hear anything beyond him starting to say it wasn't what it looked like. From her side it looked like he was leading around a pretty young woman by a pair of handcuffs and after Braxton's little display at dinner the night before she was tired of having people's sex lives shoved in her face. If she wanted to watch she'd buy a porn vid so she could control the content she was seeing!<br/><br/>Muttering, "Black's cursed<em>men</em>, under her breath, low enough it was doubtful anyone actually<em>heard</em>her, but it was still probably clear enough from the thunderstorm on her face that she was less than happy.<br/><br/>Leaving the bay she went straight to the Bridge, only stopping to kick her shoes off in her bunk. She never bothered with them on the ship, she hated the things actually. If she could get away with not bothering to wear the things planetside as well, she would. It felt so much better, just taking them off, that some of her good mood returned. Granted she knew a part of her was being silly. The men had the right to stick it to any willing woman that would have them, she just didn't appreciate having it all shoved into her face like she was some sort of audience for their play!<br/><br/>Settling into the pilot's seat she let out a soft sigh as she relaxed into it's familiar curves. In the very back of her mind, a tiny voice was willing to admit that part of her annoyance was the lack of sex in her own life. She'd been on this boat eight months now and hadn't had sex the whole time. Having other people's sex lives shoved in her face was a reminder of that. At their next stop she might have to look around a bit and use a bit of her hard earned coin to take care of that problem. She couldn't let this become an issue. She was on a boat dominated by the presence of men, she'd just need to see to it that she got laid the next time they stopped or she was going to get mighty bitchy and that wasn't fair to anyone.<br/><br/>Not that she'd<em>ever</em>admit it to any of them!<br/><br/>Hearing footsteps entering the Bridge she didn't bother to turn and look. She knew from the tread that it was Sue. She could have told any of the regular members of the crew just from the way they walked. Still his steps sounded hesitant and that didn't exactly make her unhappy.<br/><br/><em>"Hey, Keri, would it be alright if Ah came in and watched ya'll expertly pilot the ship to the landing pad?"</em><br/><br/>Looking up at him, a thoughtful expression crossed her face and she remembered the Captain's bitch from earlier that day. Hopping from outside town to the landing pad wasn't even a milk run. After a long moment she shook her head, got up and stretched out on her couch instead, "No. You can't watch. We don't have to break or enter atmo, we certainly aren't running from anyone, time I let you have a little practice at the controls. You fly her to the landing pad. In exchange, do me a favor and keep your toys in your bunk from now on. You and the Captain have the right to sex when y'all can get it, but that doesn't mean the rest of us should have to watch."<br/><br/>
