"... ake up....... sir, wa........ sir, wake up!"
"Gaah!" said a young man, perhaps eighteen years old, maybe nineteen if only a glance, shooting bolt upright in a seating position. A woman - or at least what looked like a woman (the young man couldn't tell brilliantly. The person was covered with scales.) - held onto the young man's shoulders, keeping him in place.
"Sir, calm down! You're safe!" said the woman, since she had a very feminine voice.
"Where... wait a second... I'm here? Planet Paradise?"
"Yes sir. Unfortunetely, you had a bad landing upon entrance, as the engine had gone out. At the moment, we are waiting for your conformation to repair the ship."
"Oh Christ," the young man groaned as he was helped up to his feet by the scaled receptionist. "How much is this going to cost me?"
"Ooh, only 150 credits, at most," she replied. The young man was shocked by the price.
"That little?!" he laughed. "Yes, of course I'll pay!"
"Wonderful, mister...?"
"Zack. Zack Blackstar."
"Well then, mister Blackstar, we will take receive the 150 credits once you have withdrawn the right amount. Could you bring the money by say... six o'clock tonight?"
"Sure," said Zack. "Three things first."
"Of course, sir," the receptionist said with a smile. "What is it you need?"
"First is the money. Where can I withdraw credits from around here?"
"Ahh yes. You can take out the money from any of the banks on thehigh street. You can look them up on the map that is displayed in your room." The receptionist then gave Zack a key with a number engraved on it: 274.
"Second then is where should I pay it?"
"Bringing it here will be OK," the receptionist replied, smiling. "And finally?"
"My stuff for this place was on my ship. Is it-?"
"Yes, it's right here," she replied, handing Zack a large black travel bag full of clothes and other things Zack would need for his stay here.
"Ok, thanks," Zack answered, before he nodded at the receptionist as he slung his bag over his shoulder, and made his way to the apartment complex.
It seemed that each number corresponded with a different part of the building. The first number corresponded with the floor the room was in, the second number matched with the section of that floor, and the final number told the person what room they were in that section. There were 16 floors, nine sections, and nine rooms in each section. All together, that made a total of 1,296 rooms. And it seemed that at most, three people could live in each room. With a little quick thinking, Zack found that to be... 3,888 people could live here at most.
He was quick with numbers.
"So, it's here?" he said outside room 274. He shrugged as he opened up the door, and closed it behind him.
"Oh... Hello," he said nervously as he witnessed the act of a really hot and busty girl half undressing herself on her bed.
"GAH!" she yelled as she tried in vain to cover her chest up. Zack thought it was pointless, since she did have a bra and panties on.
However, he couldn't help but get a little excited at the sight.
"Knock next time!" the girl shouted, before she dived under her bed sheets to cover herself up.
"I would've if I knew someone else was in here," Zack retorted. He sighed as he shut the door behind him. "Are you the only girl?"
"No, there's two," said another girl's voice from the bathroom. The girl inside came out, covered only with a towel.
"Hey guy, why's your nose bleeding?" asked the girl on the bed.
Zack covered up his nose as he rushed to the kitchen, and shoved a wad of tissues up his left nostril. "No idea," he said weakly.
The towel-girl chuckled. "Maybe it's 'cause he just saw two seriously smoking hot girls in his room."
"Who the hell put a guy in a room full of girls?!"
"Someone who was generous."
The bed girl growled in anger. "This is just frigging brilliant, isn't it?!"
"Come on Kara, I bet he's alright. What's your name?" towel girl asked Zack.
"Zack Blackstar."
"Name's Faith Scar. That shy girl over there is Kara Tennant."
"Haha, fuck off Faith," Kara said in a sarcastic tone.
"Ooh, you hurt me," Faith mocked, holding a hand over her chest.
She forgot though that she was still wearing a towel.
"GAH! Zack, you're bleeding again! It's getting worse!"
"Faith, get dressed!"
'Oh Christ, is it always like this?!' Zack thought as he was shook to pieces by the naked Faith, and overlooked by Kara shaking her head in embarrassment.
His adventures were only starting!
Welcome to Paradise. Enjoy your stay!
