A/N: Sorry this comes so late. Broke an ankle, and stared work a serious KOTOR fic Legacy of the Knights. I invite anyone who is interested check it out. Anyway that's not where you're here you came for terrible name switching and help imagining Mass Effect character is Les Miserables.
Chapter 4 Dreaming of the Afterlife
Benezia made here way through the lower underbelly of Omega trying to find a place to sell some Prothean trinket she got from the consort.
Harrot: Barely Hiding Contempt: I will give you 1000 credits for the trinket.
Beneiza: What are you talking about its worth 5000! 1000 wouldn't pay for the chain!
Harrot: Barely Hidding Contempt: I have set my price if you don't like it get out.
Seeing she had no other choice Beneiza sold her trinket and made her way to the underside of Omega.
Making her way to Afterlife Benezia found herself among the lowlifes and "others".
Zaeed: I smell women smell in the air! Think I'll pop me heat sink in that goddamn girly o over there. Lovely lady I'll love till I'm broke! Seven goddamn months at space can leave you hungry for a poke!
Jacob: Even stokers need a little stoke!
Afterlife "Staff": Lovely ladies waiting for a bite! Waiting for the customers that only come at night. Lovely ladies waiting for the call. Standing up or lying down or any way at all. Bargain prices up against the wall! Lovely ladies Waiting in the dark. Ready for a thick one Or a quick one in the park. Long time short time. Any time, my dear. Cost a little extra if you want to take all year! Quick and cheap is underneath the pier!
Benezia was then approached by Aria owner of Afterlofe
Aria T'loak: Hey you! You need work? I got an opening. One of my girls went off planet to join the Eclipse. It ain't honest, but its work.
Seeing no other way to make credits Benezia took up the Pirate Queen's offer and became an "employee" of Afterlife.
Vorhess: Give me the dirt who's that bit over there?
Daro'Xen: A bit of skirt she's one with some flair.
Nassana: She's got a kid sends her all that she can.
Vorhess: I might have known there is always some man.
Nassana: Actually asari can reproduce with women. Shows what you know.
Vorhess: Whatever the lyrics sound better like that.
Daro'Xen: Come on dearie, why all the fuss?You're no grander than the rest of us.
Nassana: Life has dropped you at the bottom of the heap Join your sisters, make money in your sleep!
Aria T'loak: That's right dearie, let him have the lot. That's right dearie, show him what you've got!
Afterlife "Staff" Old ones, young ones, take 'em as they come
Harbor rats and alley cats and any kind of scum
Poor ones, rich ones, leaders of the land
See them with their trousers off they're never quite as grand
All it takes is money in your hand!
Lovely ladies
Going for a song
Got a lot of callers
But they never stay for long
Beneiza: Come on, Captain
You can wear your shoes
Don't it make a change
To have a girl who can't refuse
Easy money
Lying on a bed
Just as well they never see
The hate that's in your head
Don't they know they're making love
To one already dead!
The two conduct "business" and afterward Benezia finds herself in private Afterlife room alone.
Benezia: There was a time when beings were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that the Goddess would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted
But the varren come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame
She slept a summer by my side
She filled my days with endless wonder
She took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream she'll come to me
That we'll live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So much different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed!
Later back on "duty" Benezia is approached by Patriarch
Patriarch: Here's something new, I think I'll give it a try.
Come closer you, I like to see what I buy!
The usual price, for just one slice of your pie
Benezia: I don't want you, no no sir let me go!
Patriarch: Is this some trick I won't pay more?
Benezia: No not at all.
Patriarch: You've got some nerve, you little whore
You've got some gall.
As the krogan tried to advance on her Benezia used the last biotic energy she had to warp Patriarch.
Patriarch: You'll pay for what you have done
This one will make you bleed, you'll see!
I guarantee, I'll make you suffer
For this disturbance of the peace
For this insult to life and property!
Saren: Quickly tell me what's the story? Who saw what and why and where? Let him give a full description! Let him answer to Saren!
Patriarch: Saren would you believe it? I was drinking ryncol here. When this prostitute attacked me. You can see the fresh wounds near.
Saren: She will answer for her actions when you make a full report. Rest assured good sir, she will answer to the court.
Benezia: There's a child who sorely needs me! Please Saren she's but that high! Holy goddess is there no mercy? If I go to jail she'll die!
Saren: I have heard such protestations every day for twenty years. Save your breath and save your tears. Honest work just reward that the way to please the Spirits.
Shepard: Hold it I'm taking a Paragon interrupt here! A moment of your time Saren I do believe this woman's tale.
Saren: But governor!
Shepard: Don't make me repeat myself the author is lazy.
Saren: common I have to say this like five more times.
Shepard: Hey you try typing this!
Saren: Fine
Fantine: How can this be?
Shepard: Where will she end? This child without a friend?
I've seen your face before
Show me some way to help you
How have you come to grief
In a place such as this?
Benezia: Governor, don't mock me now, I pray
It's hard enough I've lost my pride
You let your foreman send me away
Yes, you were there, and turned aside.
Shepard: Is it true what I've done?
Benezia: Yeah you hired a real jerkass. You need to screen your mangers better.
Oh wait.
My daughter's close to dying, it there's a goddess above she'd let me die instead!
Shepard: Hey you didn't let me speak in between your lines!
Benezia: Again author laziness.
Shepard: In my god's name my task has just begun! I will see it done!
A/N Sorry about the wait. I was more focused on Legacy of the Knights hopefully this shameless self-advertising here will draw some people. Laziness and breaking an ankle can make you forget about your less serious parody work. Hope it's not to big a disgrace to Les Mis and Mass Effect. Tell me what you think and read on!
