The person eventually stood face to face with you, smiling as they made eye contact. The person looked rather... well, on this planet they'd look rather plain you imagine but to you the look was rather off putting. You couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman what with a completely androgynous facial structure, ocean blue professional suit and hat, feminine hips, no chest to speak of, and limbs neither muscular nor soft. On top of that this person was visibly cybernetic in some way, thin indented lines and flesh colored screws on the cheeks and neck though whether they were a cyborg or a full blown android was unclear. If you had to guess it was a she because of the long sky blue hair that hung to their shoulders but then again that could just be a trend. S/he extended a white gloved hand to you and asked in a friendly (and rather gender neutral) tone "Are you Owen Davis?"
"Uh, yeah." You curtly responded while taking his/her hand.
"Excellent! My name is Wen, I'm a personal servant to your aunt's estate. I've been sent here to bring you back to her. Would you kindly follow me?" Wen asked, turning slightly and pulling your hand. You nodded and allowed Wen to lead you, slightly annoyed with Wen's name as it gave you no hint as to this person's true gender. You were led to a glistening silver flying car,the front and rear passenger doors opening automatically as you approached it. Wen motioned for you to sit in the rear while s/he sat in the passenger seat, the car being driven automated and having a retro looking machine in the driver's seat. It was likely a style thing as you were sure all of the components necessary to drive it could be stored in the dash itself. "To the estate, Miles." She instructed the automaton, which obeyed her command immediately. The doors shut and to your mild amazement all of the sound was cut out once the doors had been sealed, the car now so quiet that you became aware of your own breathing. What's more when the vehicle lifted off you felt absolutely nothing, as though you were at a complete standstill despite the the outside world zooming past the windows as the car zipped between buildings and around other vehicles. Wen craned her/her head around to speak with you, smiling softly to ease your nerves. "So, have you ever been to Velus before?"
You shook your head. "No, I've never even been off of my home planet before."
"Really, that's crazy! I can't imagine never seeing other planets, I imagine it would get very boring! Well anyways I'm sure you'll love it here. It's a real interesting place, there's a ton of cool stuff to do, and the people are very friendly." Wen told you in a cheery manner.
"So I've heard." You reply. Wen talks for almost the entire ride about the sites and attractions of the cluster but you hardly listen, instead captivated by the imposing skyline of glass and steel. There were barely 20 million on the whole of Terrascov IV, hell the whole system you came from would barely scrape up 100 million in total. Based on the sheer density and height of the buildings you guessed that this lone city had such a population, and with the rest of the planet and the others in the system it would reach some nearly uncountable number. After a short while the vehicle slowed, descending towards a rather large gated white manor in the midst of many similarly decadent abodes. To your surprise and slight worry guards seemed to patrol the periphery rather diligently and in force, rifles at the ready and in full combat armor.
"Don't worry about them, they know you're a welcome guest. They won't lay a hand on you." Wen assured, having caught your look of dismay. The car settled down on a small launch pad next to two similar vehicles and you were led out by Wen. You followed Wen into an elevator which dropped you two off in the main hall. As the doors slid open a second time you were greeted by a maid of some description and you failed to keep your jaw from dropping.
She looked to be a young woman, no older than twenty though that was no indication of her actual age especially on Velus. She sported frizzy bubble gum pink hair on a round rosy head that smiled from ear to ear. She was rather well endowed, her breasts barely contained by the skimpy shortcut maid outfit she wore and her plump figure stretched it even further. She was rather short and it was easy to see why, she had no legs. Instead where her legs were supposed to be were another set of arms with gloved hands, her lower elbows bending in the opposite direction one's knees would go similar to a chicken. Both of her top hands were carrying covered dishes of some kind that you guess contained food. "Hiya! Are you the new guest?" She asked in a warm high pitched squeal while extending her right leg hand to you.
"Uh, yeah." You confirm, crouching down to shake her hand, noting the incredible amount of balance this girl had, "And who might you be?"
"I'm Ultharianotinosix Kethredonil Ilacsis." She replied. You gave an incredulous stare making the young giggle playfully. "I'm originally from Yethro, the language makes long names kind of a given. Most people just call me by my initials, Uki, or Yuki." She explained.
"Okay, nice to meet you Yuki." You respond with relief.
"The pleasure's all mine! Now then, I'm to take you to see Miss Desiree. Wen you've been instructed to go bring Miss Desiree these drinks from the cellar." Yuki told her, withdrawing a post it note from between her cleavage with her lower right arm and handing it to the other servant. Yuki then motioned for you to follow and you did so, walking down the long hallway and entering a large living area, several couches surrounding a central hologram table. On the far couch you saw your aunt for the first time... | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
