Tearing down the "For Rent" sign on the storefront, Ly Ripley crumbled it up and threw it to the ground, then kicked it across the newly shined floor. Promenade patrons glared at her, but she just rolled her eyes and began the complex sequence of keystrokes necessary in order to open the door. "Welcome," a feminine computer voice said. "Eat hot death," Ly replied, already halfway through the door, pulling a large cart behind her. She wrinkled her nose at the stale odor of beer and body sweat. "Nice," she murmured, wiping her hand across the bar, her skin coming up black from grime. She walked back to the door and signaled it to stay open, letting out some of the smell.
Opening one of the bags on the cart, she pulled out a few cleaning supplies and got to work. "That Quark guy was a pig," she muttered, cleaning glass after glass at the bar. "I'm sure he was a ...a..." she stopped, as an object fell from her bag as she brought out another rag. Reaching down, she picked it up and gazed at the Federation insignia in her hand. A lump formed in her throat. "Damn," she said, "damn....

*Traygory had just arrived to DS9 and had already inquired, as to where she could find a business man named Quark. To her surprise, she found out that he had rented out his means of profit and decided to take a vacation. This did not please her, which was apparent to the people surrounding her, when she gritted her pointed teeth and raised her large flat ferringi nose.*
"Can you point me to his place of business?"
*Without hesitation and a smile, the cadet pointed toward the promenade , and without a thank you or a sign of appreciation, she moved in that direction.
It didnt take long, before she reached her destination. She looked in to see a shadow on the back side of the bar. Without fear and alot of nerve she walked over and sat down*
"Excuse me, I am looking for Quark, someone told me that he has rented this place to you."
*she looked around and muttered under her breathe, I hope he got a decent profit. She waited for the individual behind the center wall to appear.*

"Quark and his family have left the Station," Ly said. She walked to the bar and looked the intruder up and down, sizing her up. "We're closed, but if you want a drink I'm sure I can find something around here..." She bent down behind the bar, pulled her knife out of her boot and placed it on the shelf under the bar. Standing, she held up a bottle. She tilted it in the light, blowing at the dust, "I'm not sure what this is, actually..."

*Traygory felt a sense of anger, when the lady mentioned Quark had left the station with his family. She knew that she didn't look like a normal ferringi, as she had mostly bajorian features, with the exception of the nose and mouth, and her thirst for profit, but she thought for sure, it would give her some since of respect. As she contimplated mentioning who she was, the bar keep lifted up a dusty jar and began wiping it off*
"I'm not sure what this is, actually..."
*She observed the multi color flow and knew exactly what it was. I wasn't like a ferringi to leave that behind, especially one as reputated as Quark.*
"That would be Ferringi Fire, it is about the sweetest tasting consumption one can take, however it is also the deadly. It takes a strong and solid type of person to endure it. Ferringi Fire can make one a hefty profit, so I wouldn't pass that out so freeingly. "

As they finished talking, a small sound started to come from upstairs. A few seconds after they heard it, the sound grew louder as well as closer. After a moment of confusion, they saw what appeared to be a model version of the station they were in. As the sound of the model ship diminished, a voice came forth from the vessel, saying "This is where we are now."
The miniature ship started to grow larger, and a small red light began to blink, indicating their position relative to the station. Once the model became almost too large for the confined area in which it was, it transformed into a hologram. As it grew even more, they started to see where they were in the hologram, but in the image, when it became large enough to recognise figures, they saw a third figure. The hologram focused in on the tripedal being, which physically manifested itself. As it stood in front of the others, he said, "Hello."

After the fancy light show, one that made her wonder if they were still on the station or not, Ly gasped, "What th..." Looking around, she was confused as to what had happened. "What do you mean 'this is where we are now'," she asked. Ly hated being confused. Nothing in the Universe made her crankier. All she knew was that suddenly Species 8472 stood before her, and THAT was not something to be taken lightly. She was even more taken aback when the creature opened its mouth and said, "hi".
Looking at the woman, Ly winked at her and gazed back at the 3-legged creature, "um...hi. Would you care for a drink?" She held up the bottle of Ferengi Fire that was still in her hand.

*Tragory stood there in fear. She was familiar with this species, but never seen one up close and personal. They were said to be a myth and something that even the borg were rumoured to fear. And then it spoke, with an obvious greeting. The Bajorian in her was afraid , yet she had an uncertain curiousity, but the Ferringi in her was deciding if there was profit to be made.
Thoughts floated in her mind..Species 8472 who speaks, hmmmm, ... have a showing every day , no every hour, ..can make trinkets of the species, they will want to study it, that should bring in a profit.....we can make it a whole theme thing.. realizing she drifted into her own world, she shook it off. Once she came back to reality, she then began to understand and feel the very real danger that stood before her. *
"um...hi. Would you care for a drink?"
*Stunned but the barkeeps calmness , she took a moment to evaluate the situation. If this species had wanted to hurt them, it would have done so by now.
Also, she had never heard of one being so diplomatic, and if it was to attack someone, first it would be the bar keep, she was a bit more meatier and taller then she was, and that would give her time to escape.....so she cautiously would remain, but, she stood as close to the exit , as she could, without looking to obvious. As the bar keep poured the luminescence liquid, Traygory had to ask..*
"Yeah um....can I have one of those?"

He looked at the bar keep after she replied with, "um...hi. Would you care for a drink?" He in turn replied with, "Yes I would. I'll take 2 cups." He sat in wait for her reaction. When they had begun to continue their conversation, he noticed how apprehensive they had become. “Be not afraid by my appearance, would you prefer I not look this way?” he had said to them in humor.
"My name is Vuus."

Ly opened the bottle of Ferengi Fire and began pouring it into 4 glasses. Handing one behind her to the woman, and two to Vuus, she looked down at her own glass, threw caution to the wind, and downed it in a gulp. She could feel the heat building throughout her body, but as it increased, her arms and legs began to feel cool as the blood rushed from her extremities in an effort to fight the fire inside her. Her head felt like it was floating, and she saw two of Vuus for a moment. "Whatdyamean..." she stopped and shook her head, "do you mean we have a choice about the way you look," Ly asked the creature. Suddenly, her vision got incredibly bright, better than it had ever been before. Putting the cork back in the bottle, Ly thought, "I'll be pricing THIS accordingly!" She looked around the room, noticing dirt she had missed.

*Traygory watched ,as the Ferringi Fire took effect on the barkeep. She was surprised at how well this one, took it. The barkeep seemed to be mesmerized with a small speck of dust on the counter which made Tragory giggle. She turned to Vuus, who had implied that he could change looks. Instantly she switched her undying attention to him. *
"Your not species 8472? Are you some kind of shape shifter? Hmm...Profit... ...I smell profit from this one.
*She then took her class and down her portion on the fire. She loved teh sweet sensations that went to her ears. Like soothing harmonics playing in them. Then she felt it burning in her stomachs sending heat throughout her body. She placed the class onto the bar.*
"Yep, good stuff...you should get a good profit for that."

Vuus also watched as the effects of the highly potent drink surged through Ly. It was quite laughable to be honest. "Are you ok over there?" he said on a rhetorical sense. He knew that she was moderately intoxicated.
After Traygory had addressed Vuus with, "Are you some kind of shape shifter?" he had quickly turned his attention to her. He very swiftly downed one of his glasses of Ferengi Fire then he gave a slight laugh. He thought 'It would be quite humorous to see their reaction at the truth, but no.' "A shapeshifter? Not quite, but I do have certain abilities that might make you think as much, but still, not so much." He laughed again. Then shook his head and again very swiftly downed the other glass of Ferengi Fire.

Still gazing at the dust speck, which seemed to be dancing, Ly replied to Vuus, "and what abilities might those be?" Shaking her head, she refocused her eyes on the creature before her. She wondered when Species 8476...Species 8674... She shook her head again. She wondered when Species 8472 had developed a mouth. Throwing caution to the wind, which was easy to do when intoxicated, Ly extended her hand to the creature, "Ly Ripley," she said, "and this is...is...." She looked at Traygory, "did I know your name?"

*Watched as Ly Ripley extended her hand to Vuus. And when both indivduals eyes were on her, she felt an obligation to answer*
"I am called Traygory"
*Still curious, Traygory inquired more about Vuus's talent abilities*
"So, Vuss...How much profit will you bring in?...What brings you to DS9 in this form? What was your species called again?"
*She looked at him with a genuine curiousity. She wanted to know, if there was danger to fear, but more important the amount of profit could be made and how to harness it.*
"I am only asking , because some species here would no sooner shoot you on sight. How do the humans say it...ask questions later, shoot first? ...no wait, shoot first ask questions later."

Ly wasn't sure if it was the Ferengi Fire, but for some reason she felt as if time had stopped. The 3-legged creature before her had ceased to move or answer any questions. She snapped her fingers before his large eyes, "Yo....anyone in there" she asked. Turning to Traygory she said, "what's your story?"

*Traygory watched as the visitor stood paralized by what she assumed was caused by the Fire drink. It has different effects for different species. *
"what's your story?"
*She turned and looked at the barkeep, who surprisingly managed to take the drink very well.*
"There isn't much to tell, I was looking for...Quark, he owes me something and I came here to collect. "
*she looked around*
"But as you already know...he seems to have left abruptly."
*She looked over at Vuus*
"What are you going to do with him? Perhaps sell him for profit?"
