I was annoyed and decided to take it out on some Mary-Sues. Any resemblance to anyone's OC is happenstance. Also, very good for writer's block!
Any familiar names are not my property.
As soon as Jack and Riddick landed on Sierius Ten, they encountered their first bureaucratic nightmare.
She was slender, and winsome, and had gorgeous brown eyes. Penni was the only customs agent in the space dock, and likely the first face on Sierius Ten they encountered. Her hair was short and cute around her pixie-ish face, and she gave Jack fond, motherly looks while casting those gorgeous brown eyes at Riddick through her long, curled eyelashes.
Which is why she was dead ten minutes after her shift ended: struck down by the very hovercab she was trying to flag down. Very tragic.
"Where to now?" Jack asked, as Riddick tucked away a certain remote control. As they walked away, sirens roared behind them, drowning out the frantic babbling of a cabbie unsure of what had made him lose control of his vehicle.
While Jack and Riddick were slowly fighting their way out of their tenth prison colony, they ran into what might have been expectedly unexpected.
She was tall and whip-cord thin, but her skin was clear and her eyes animalistic and bright. She stared at Riddick, making Jack feel very invisible, and Riddick stared back.
"I'm Jenni," the strangely attractive fighter announced. Riddick didn't answer, just kept staring at her, until Jack broke the spell by thrusting a knife through her ribs.
"Yeah, yeah, we know," Jack muttered, as Riddick grinned, "Lemme guess, he's the only one like you in the universe."
When Jack and Riddick stepped into the bar, Jack just smelled trouble.
Behind the bar was an average looking brunette barmaid, slightly busty and curvaceous. She looked at the new customers with a slightly irritated look, before plunking two glasses down. One filled with soda, the other with some unidentifiable alcoholic liquid that was popular in the area.
Obligingly, Jack and Riddick took their seats. The barmaid's expression didn't change, except to flicker briefly over Riddick, sizing him up.
As Riddick placed his empty glass down, the barmaid started, "I'm Lenn…" but was suddenly cut off when an exposed wire from the dishwasher touched the pool of water in which Lenn… was unfortunately standing.
"Damnit," Jack groused, "First they still think I'm underage, and then they drop like flies."
Dana would have sworn on an affidavit that she had only been in the store a few minutes, shopping for a new pair of winter gloves, when she saw Jack and Riddick walk in. She nearly swallowed her tongue, grabbed any pair of winter gloves at hand, and made a bee-line to the counter. She was slender and attractive, an ash blonde by preference, and had little else to do, but her common-sense meter was very acute.
As the infamous duo wandered around the store, Dana paid for her purchase with chits, grabbed her receipt, and walked quickly out of the store, intent on not telling her boyfriend why his gloves were pink-and-purple and had pompoms.
Jack and Riddick just stared after her.
"Finally, one with some brains," Riddick smirked.
