Oh thought of a space pirates question

I know they are trying to prove their innocence, but are there people chasing them? Villains in general?

Okay, so there is ANOTHER group of Space Pirates (these ones are well known. Don't ask me what their names are though) that framed Kolgo and Ruthe.

At the beginning of the story, Ruthe Pistol Whips the captain, and they're on the run from them.

But there's also the Quioan government, that are after Ruthe and Kolgo as well. Which will play into the story in the 4th or 5th chapter? Possibly 6th? Depends on what happens before we get to their destination tbh.

ALSO to note. Echo (Ruthe's Partner), is traveling the solar system with Aspen (their son), with a group of Private Investigator's trying to also prove Ruthe's innocence. (Ruthe does NOT know this. Mainly because she hasn't talked to her partner in forever, and things keep popping up before Echo can tell her that they're trying to prove her innocence.)

Megaflora Zenith is a story I'm writing with @duck-in-a-spaceship and has the blog @megaflora-zenith

I don't think this'll stay. Might wait until the crew gets a little further in their journey to add this exposition in. But sometimes it's nice to think of the little ways the crew will act when it's their downtime.

This project is a story I'm writing with @duck-in-the-universe for @megaflora-zenith (an original story)

Editing this section. I think it's funny, but doesn't quite fit what we're going for with Kolgo's character sadly.

I keep seeing you mention Space Pirates and I wanna know...what is it? 👀 /gen

(and no, I'm not just asking bc I saw you mention wanting to talk about it; I've been genuinely wondering what it is <3 )

<3333

@cameforstuff asked something that requires this RAMBLE I'm about to go on too!

Space Pirates, also known as Megaflora Zenith ( @megaflora-zenith ) is a story that is currently being written by @duck-in-the-universe (AKA @duck-in-a-spaceship ) and me!!!

The Megaflora Zenith blog, which holds some snippets, some art, and some VERY cool characters. And just realized, Duck did some Wire art I don't think was rbed there... OOOPS. As you can see we are very up to date on that blog /j

This however still answers next to nothing.

So the premise we've come up with so far is this:

Kolgo and Ruthe, from a planet (Quoia) known for their megaflora, were framed for a heist from a museum. In aiming to prove their innocence, they both escape from prison, stealing a ship. While Kolgo was excited at the prospect of their new life of adventure (and crime), Ruthe had left behind her partner and son. She's aiming to get back to them.

Somewhere along the way they pick up Bahn, who should really divorce with his wife instead of keeping her at a distance, and Wire a robot originally made to be a nanny but eventually they had to escape. Hating their job and everything to do with it.

Kolgo and Ruthe hop on Bahn's ship, which is better suited for longer travels and a (slightly) larger group.

Somewhere along the way they pick up Jordan, who *says* he was a chef at some middle grade restaurant, but they made some of the ingredients illegal.

Sure, Kolgo knows the guy is lying, but they ended up with a 5 star chef out of it (like seriously, how are his meals SO good???), and they're pretty sure they'll get Jordan to fess up as to why he wanted to join eventually.

Now there are a couple members we haven't mentioned yet. Kelp and Nish.

Nish hasn't showed up yet in the story, but she eventually appears when the crew lands on a planet and she sneaks on board.

Kelp (any pronouns :D) is who I am affectionately calling fish bitch :). Now, she's more fem leaning for her species, and has wanted to be a pirate her whole life. When an unplanned vessel *finally* lands on her planet she is doing her best to get on. Unfortunately, her translator doesn't work as well as she'd like. Thankfully it works well enough.

Now her native language is kind of like that of a whale's? If that makes sense. It sound's like he's screeching above water, but below water it sounds like he's singing (no words but more like "Ah~" if that makes sense)? And it's actually very complex.

Anyways they've put on this translator, come up and they're trying to get these pirates to take them on board. I'm currently editing the chapter where they're introduced.

Feel free to ask more questions <333

Snippet From Chapter 1

Some things may have been exaggerated but surely they're low on food. Right? Right???

Anyways, we're having so much fun writing this silly little story. We hope that you enjoy these snippets in the meantime :3

Last snippet today, done editing for right now!

ILY Kelp, but you are so suspicious. You are a suspicious fish <333

Deleted Scenes:

This conversation is being scrapped, but we thought it would be fun to share it XD.

Overall it doesn't fit the characters we have in our heads. So it's got to go. But it was fun writing this.
