Ruby #1
Rondure was truly a fascinating place. All the buildings were suspended in the air like trees. The bigger buildings seemed to grow even taller so the main city of Rondure reminded of a modern forest. It was strange watching people walk around the sphere like buildings to enter them from the bottom. She couldn't understand how comfortable it would be to live like that. For example, what if one house burned down and the inhabitants had to first scramble for special shoes before running outside to avoid death. It seemed absurd. The red haired woman figured some islands just weren't meant to be inhabited.
Slurrrrrrrp She took a long sip of a milkshake through a straw. The item had been procured at a stand on the way through the city. All the buildings were suspended but market stalls were still on the ground to help out the locals and the odd tourist.
'Even the plants are spherical. It's like this island is on ball shaped steroids... I'll never live here.' Ruby told herself while taking another questionable look at the cup she had received for her milkshake. It was a sphere and the straw looked like it consisted of tiny round links as well. It was still a good shake, however, - vanilla flavor - so she kept on sucking out the contents and walking down one of the main streets.
It had been an exciting couple of days already so the tan ginger couldn't wait to go win some money to spend at a local pub. While she had an odd liking to milk, she did enjoy ale as much as the next pirate. Drinking was probably one of the only ways Ruby became more sociable. Perhaps, that is what she missed but didn't want to realize.
Something caught her eye. A taller man in front of her that was part of a group of a couple peers. They were all men and quite odd looking. Some of them looked more green than the average person she'd been used to but that wasn't the main focus. Getting a bit more spring in her step, the curvy fighter eyed the obvious bag of coin the man was carrying. The metal coins jingled in the bag and played her favorite tune - money.
She pondered for a while if she should take it or not. Ruby had always been quicker than most people. And the men looked quite carefree so she decided it was best to try. Besides - she hadn't met a lot of people that could take her in a fight.
'Oi! Catch!' she spoke out to the man she had examined after walking up beside him and taking his pace. The young woman was dressed in a pair of combat boots, denim hot pants, a black tube top and a dark brown leather jacket that had the sleeves rolled up to over her elbows. She tossed the almost finished beverage container in the air and towards the man before snatching the bag from his hand and dashing away.
'Now I just need a pub.' she spoke out loud to herself while cutting corners of market stands and tangling into some crowds of people.
