Hey y'all! Time for another Tuesday Teaser!
“Welcome.
Dayo shivered in revulsion once
he saw the owner of the voice. Eort’s voice was high-pitched and skittered
across the nerves, but considering he was from a race
called Insectoids, it wasn’t surprising. The species was arachnid-like
hermaphrodites with some humanoid characteristics,. They hailed from the Lotrim sector and were extremely greedy and lacking in morals.
Eort
was roughly the height of an average human with primarily reddish-yellow skin.
A slight glowed surrounded his body. There were six thin legs that made it
possible for quick movement in any direction. The legs were attached at the
base of the torso.
The
alien had two arms, with what resembled humanoid elbows and wrists. Each arm
ended in a multi-fingered hand. Eort had a visible, thick neck, and a triangle-shaped
head covered by a semitransparent membrane. Two round, glowing, yellow
pupilless eyes stared at them.
“Greeting, Eort.” Torin bowed
slightly. “I am Torin, second-in-command to Belton of the Blishue ship call the
Graco.”
“This the property?” Eort asked,
pointing a long spindly finger at Dayo.
“Yes. Is the buyer here?” Torin glanced around
the area. “I don’t see him.”
“He has arrived.” Eort
chittered. “Pay dues for overseeing sale, and owner will be allowed in.”
Belton lifted his wrist and
activated his comm. “Done.”
Eort tilted his head, almost as
if he was listening telepathically to someone, and then grinned. “Verified. New
owner is cleared to enter. Business much appreciated. Leave when finished.”
Torin rolled his eyes at Eort’s
back. “Thank you so much.” He turned to Belton after Eort left, shutting the door behind him. “Creepy things.”
“Agreed,” Belton said, shifting
from foot to foot. “And untrustworthy. Let’s hope the buyer hurries up and gets
here soon so we can—”
A door opened, and a male
entered. He was wide at the shoulder, with a thick waist, and short powerful
legs that were encased in black pants. A narrow head led to an impossibly long
snout complete with tusks.
“Ah, Vegishy. Pleased to meet you.” Belton offered his
hand.
