It was shortly after dinner that the Eucharis landed with a thud on the polished translucent surface of a landing pad that floated like a lily pad on a calm circular lake of glowing purple fluid, just now connected by a pathway to a city of pastel teal buildings adorned in lights and unfamiliar signage. There was a light fog enshrouding the area coating everything with slick dew. A black ooze flowed from the edge of the lake, creating a contrasting dark path of slightly tacky non-skid material leading from the shore across the bridge and pad right up to the gunship’s rear cargo door.
From out of the fog, a very tall humanoid appeared, treading the dark path with the grace of a lusty ballerina. Its body and limbs were spindly almost to the point of looking skeletal or like a stick figure, and its head had a huge cyclopean eye with several smaller eyes located in key places across its mostly-exposed body. It had large horns protruding from its forearms that shielded its hands and a swinging trunk-like appendage coming from its hourglass-shaped central column torso/abdomen. It carried a staff that it used like a cane. About halfway across the landing pad, it waited to meet the newcomers.
Inside the ship, Shosho Hanako waited just inside the cargo bay door-ramp.
