[The world was one of a constant, strange, cyclical war.

When the night fell on the highest moon of the furthest month, a Howling Storm took the planet, cut its cities off from each other and the visitors from their homes, When the Storm's first whining, hot wind struck, the imposing gates of the iridescent metal of this world would close, folding up and over, in a wall only Qlipoth could love.

The thud of bodies, the scrape of claws, mandibles and fangs added to the cacophony that the setting of the red sun provoked. It ebbed in the morning, but never enough to be safe. Never enough for the walls to come down.

In defiance, however, in these little hubs of survival, the nightlife was something quite impressive. Loud music played, lights blared, the night market was a roar of throats - the call of sellers and the flirtation of buyers.

All to carry on like a shield wasn't holding back the certain death of nearly everyone in the spaceport.

But you're here, waiting for the tired relief of morning. For the spaceport to open back up in a week.

It should have already ended. It SHOULD have been open yesterday.

But the Storm is longer than it's ever been here...]

What do you mean by that? Do I look corrupted to you?

And why do you think that?

No...?

[ a long, thoughtful pause. ]

... I stabbed you. Are you alright?

Ah... okay.

[ another awkward pause. ]

I'm-- sorry.

I hadn't meant to. I didn't realize...

...

Well, the reason doesn't matter. I'm sorry.

Aren't you from the Yaoqing? Don't you have...

[ a pause. ]

... I don't like to leave things unrepaid.
