** FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX **
[R8 - Kijimi- PC] FotP - 03 - THE COLD BLOOD HIDEOUT ***
It's 3 years ABY, 2 years before now
[A small, cold room. A woman sitting on a crate, her hands cuffed. Two alien thugs guarding her]
Pria:
Now that we are waiting for your boss, how 'bout I tell you my story?
Thug1:
I warned you, woman. Speak again, and I'll make sure you regret it!
Thug2:
Honestly, I'm bored. With this blizzard outside, the boss is definitely going to be late.
Thug1:
Fine, whatever.
Pria:
Okay. Where should I start... So you probably know how they call me: Lady Pria, Princess of Crime...
Thug1:
Ha! as if!
Pria:
Believe it or not, I'm a Lady for real. I was born into an ancient and noble family.
My father, was a cruel, ignorant man. Clinging to power even as the Empire rose.
Day in, day out we were reviewing parades and welcoming Moffs and Admirals.
He desperately wanted a son, who would wear these pathetic uniforms, like all of my cousins did so proudly. But he got me.
I was supposed to marry an Imperial officer and produce the next generation of loyal subjects. But I had other plans.
I escaped with the dowry, got a starship and started a new life. That was almost fifteen years ago.
Thug2:
So you gave up a palace and all these credits? For what?!
Pria:
Um... for freedom?
Thug1:
Dank Farrik. I hate you!
Pria:
My father was furious and hired a pack of bounty hunters to track me down. I had to hide, change my identity and stay one step ahead.
I'm not a helpless princess anymore.
Thug2:
Hold on. What about this bounty?
Pria:
Hmm. It's still open, I guess.
Thug2:
Heh, looks like we hit the jackpot!
Thug1:
She's toying with us! Don't believe a word she says! Why would she reveal this?
Pria:
'Cause you won't be able to tell anyone.
Thug1:
(Hah! You hear that? The boss just arrived. You're the one who's going to die!)
[Door opens. Borres Laredo enters]
Borres:
Olla 'meegos!!!
Thug1:
Wait, what are you supposed to be?!?
[Borres eliminates the thugs.]
Pria:
Was about time.
Borres:
Apologies for the delay, bosslady. Blame the snowstorm. Looks like you found the hideout of the COLD BLOOD?
Pria:
Not bad, right? Let's check the vault for those discs, before the underboss arrives!
Great start of the story! Love the new design of the panels and text 😍
I like small details like the loose floor plate and the water dripping from the hole in the wall. And you adopted the pose of the legs 👍 The gangster, wearing all black, looks fashionable 😎
Are those custom stickers?
Looking forward too learn more about Bosslady Pria!

Thanks! The move to factions really motivated me to enhance the overall look of the story.

Yes, I learned so much in just 2 weeks by gazing at all the great techniques shared out there 😊
The gangster, wearing all black, looks fashionable 😎
No custom stickers. It's the body of an alien. Could've been Pao from Rogue one maybe? Got it from ebay 🙃
Looking forward too learn more about Bosslady Pria!
Yeah, stay tuned! And there is surely some space for collab at some point 😉
