[Day 1 - EN] Vode An

[Moyr Ahaya]

"One can wonder about the sudden flurry of kind Republican interest with the Mando'a after centuries of hostility, mistreatment and neglect. Such a change of heart." The Sith lady chimed in.

[Niall Organa]

"One can wonder about the sudden flurry of kind Republican interest with the Mando'a after centuries of hostility, mistreatment and neglect. Such a change of heart." The Sith lady chimed in.

Niall turned, his eyebrows going up. "Good evening." He said mildly. "Captain Niall Organa, Republic military. It seems as though I might as well welcome you to our conversation, seeing as you've already joined it."

[Arsele Girard]

He takes it and shakes it firmly and then says, "What do you have for me, aruetii?"

Her own shake is surprisingly firm in return.

"I am looking for work, promotion, opportunity... and I was thinking perhaps my gains in those areas could also be gains for you as well."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"The Red Wraith, a Sith. I had been in a conversation with the people of Mandalore long before you appeared, Captain." She turned slowly, facing him with Yavin's Gaze. "I surmise it's one of the reasons of your makeshift effort to accrue goodwill through honeyed words and hollow promises."

[Nekoinu]

"It'll have to be good enough, aruetii." Vera scoffed. "I don't need your approval. I only need my brothers and sisters." Despite her abrasiveness, she still handed over her contact information. "Make you call me about something worthwhile."

Her attention turned to the Sith twi'lek. "Welcome to the conversation, I guess," she spat out. "Vera Ordo. I suppose I can't give you 'honeyed words' until you remove that mask, right?"

[Corso Fett]

Her own shake is surprisingly firm in return.

"I am looking for work, promotion, opportunity... and I was thinking perhaps my gains in those areas could also be gains for you as well."

"This isn't a temp agency," he counters with a chuckle.

"I only need soldiers, aruetii. You want to work for me, prove you have what it takes to be Mando'a."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"I don't aspire to be a nice person, verd Ordo. Nor the least secretive. Mishuk gotal'u meshuroke, pako kyore. But many a Mando'a in this room know that I am a friend of your culture and cause."

[Niall Organa]

"The Red Wraith, a Sith. I had been in a conversation with the people of Mandalore long before you appeared, Captain." She turned slowly, facing him with Yavin's Gaze. "I surmise it's one of the reasons of your makeshift effort to accrue goodwill through honeyed words and hollow promises."

Niall looked down at his drink for a moment. "I met an officer in your military earlier tonight. She seemed interested in finding common ground between us. Admirable, I thought."

He looked at Moyr. "I was wondering if your superiors are more like her, or more like you? I ask because if they think all we have to offer is honeyed words and hollow promises, I might as well tell my superiors that the peace talks are doomed. You can't find trust if you never look for it, my Lady."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"You've come for peace and the first thing you do is coming to offend the Mando'a by trying to recruit them? As a peacekeeping force, I assume?" She chuckled. "You can tell your superiors whatever you want. But let it be known you're the first one here to hurl threats. So desperate you are?"

[Arsele Girard]

"This isn't a temp agency," he counters with a chuckle.

"I only need soldiers, aruetii. You want to work for me, prove you have what it takes to be Mando'a."

"Fair enough; I'm a citizen though, not a soldier. Mentioned that specifically to Mister Kelborn."

She shrugs.

"So there's not much I can do for you there specifically. Though, I suppose that depends on what you mean by soldier in this case."

[Niall Organa]

"You've come for peace and the first thing you do is coming to offend the Mando'a by trying to recruit them? As a peacekeeping force, I assume?" She chuckled. "You can tell your superiors whatever you want. But let it be known you're the first one here to hurl threats. So desperate you are?"

"If Vera Ordo was offended, she can tell me, and I can delete her contact information." Niall said. "But I assure, you my words were in earnest, not a threat. I really do want to know."

He waved to the bartender. "Now, if you'd care to join us for a drink, perhaps we can have a discussion on trust. Otherwise, well, at the very least this conversation is doomed."

[Corso Fett]

“Do you fight for the Mando’a or not, not every Mandalorian will go into the field there are other roles to play but you came here looking for an opportunity. I am offering a commitment, it’s as simple as that,” he says.

“My people have spent too long selling their Honor for creds, not any more.”

[Moyr Ahaya]

"So you cultivate the long Republican tradition as treating Mandalorians as nothing more than guns for hire, not as a proud nation. And I have a drink you if you haven't noticed. Ke nu'jurkadir sha Mando'ade.. And I don't think there is an 'us' between you and Vera Ordo, Captain." She looked at the Mandalorian woman. "Ke barjurir gar'ade, jagyc'ade kot'la a dalyc'ade kotla'shya."

“Do you fight for the Mando’a or not, not every Mandalorian will go into the field there are other roles to play but you came here looking for an opportunity. I am offering a commitment, it’s as simple as that,” he says.

“My people have spent too long selling their Honor for creds, not any more.”

Arsele arched an eyebrow, "That sounds like you have quite the plans then; Quite likely something far beyond what I could commit to, or probably truly understand, not being Mando'a."

[Nekoinu]

Vera listened to the Sith and nodded. "Jatnese be te jatnese," she remarked. "I like you, 'Red Wraith.' However, it is not as you say. I do not see Niall Organa as an enemy." She turned to him. "Nor do I see him as a friend."

Vera listened to the Sith and nodded. "Jatnese be te jatnese," she remarked. "I like you, 'Red Wraith.' However, it is not as you say. I do not see Niall Organa as an enemy." She turned to him. "Nor do I see him as a friend."

He ignored the Sith. Boring conversation anyway.

"That's fair." Niall nodded. "We've just met. You don't know me from the next officer, and all I know about you is your reputation. Which is a good one, to be sure, but not enough for me to call you friend."

His serious expression brightened. "But I can promise that I'll deal honestly and honorably with you. My word as an officer. And between that and your reputation, I'd say that's a good start."

[Nekoinu]

"Good start," she mimic'd before drinking from her glass. She looked to both of them and shook her head. "I'm not going to make any conclusions today on your politics. This is a cantina, not the peace talks."

[Corso Fett]

Arsele arched an eyebrow, "That sounds like you have quite the plans then; Quite likely something far beyond what I could commit to, or probably truly understand, not being Mando'a."

“I don’t think small,” he counters.

“If it is too much for you, that is fine aruetii.” Corso takes a seat and adds, “As I said, I need verde. I need a commitment, if you want a job. If you are just here because you think I am hiring ver'verd then that’s on you. If you have a proposal that can aid Mando’a then I’ll hear it, otherwise you are just wasting my time.”

He says to the other Mandalorians, “Aliit ori’shya tal’din.” They nod and drink to his words looking at Arsele waiting for her response.

[Arsele Girard]

Arsele shook her head before bowing, "That is not something I would do more than bare minimum. So I will take my leave."

And so she does, grumbling in her head.

[Aphr Ahaya]

Eight's optics remained on the red Twi'lek for some time more before Aphr came up to him. Well there goes any semblance of cover I may have had.

"Aphr. Making friends?" He asked, glancing down to the small Twi'lek girl.

"Sure, let's go with that" Aphr commented quietly, looking up at the large droid "is Galen still here? I could do with a drink" she rubbed her head gently, trying to shake the painful feeling from before.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"You don't throw caution to the wind." The Sith accepted, nodding. "If you decide to talk with an Imperial officer to see the difference between us and a random ori'buyce - kih'kovid, I can arrange it." She ordered two drinks, symmetrically ignoring Niall's presence. "Enjoy your tikaar."

[Nudimsu]

Crawl clasped the other man's shoulder heartily. "Man! You're alright for a chiss, you know that right? Nobody else I'd rather have at my side in this crazy fucking galaxy! To the tortoise!" He raised his glass in a toast.

Nudimsu finally turns to him and nods. "May she continue to fly us all to freedom and safety."

He had nothing to drink, so all he could do was nod. "And not get shot down by a angry lover."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw shakes his head. "She can kill me, but not you guys. That's where I draw the line. It's my mistake, not yours." He pauses. "But yeah, thanks for coming bud, I appreciate it."

[Eight]

"Sure, let's go with that" Aphr commented quietly, looking up at the large droid "is Galen still here? I could do with a drink" she rubbed her head gently, trying to shake the painful feeling from before.

"Didn't see him leave. Stick by him for the rest of the night, your stalker just went inside too." He paused. "Is this going to be trouble for us back on the ship?"

[Aphr Ahaya]

"I....don't know" she sounded as unsure as she looked "I will have to speak to Xero about this. I didn't expect all of this to happen."
