[Day 1 - MN] Murder in the Dark

[Moyr Ahaya]

"What makes you so certain?"

[Dapper Dog]

Lana says, "Your will, my lord."

[Galen Sol]

"I saw two vagrants leave this alley." he shrugged. "That's what drew me here. It looked like they had seen something and I was looking into a recent disappearance."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Deliver the body to Colonel Hala Moraal in the Imperial Compound. I will inform her how to proceed with it." She nodded. "Thank you for your assistance."

She then turned to Galen. "Could you make anything out of them?"

[Galen Sol]

"Just that they didn't want to be seen, but weren't very good at hiding." he replied. "I was too far away for details. They may have been the ones who called security. Or, it could have been someone before them."

[Durasay Mixo]

Durasay made a note of the name, to put aside for later. Extending his hand to the lady of the Sith. "Durasay Mixo. Concerned galactic citizen." His tone was amicable, yet aloof.

A certain air of confidence to his posture and voice.

[Moyr Ahaya]

The Wraith looked at the hand, then at the man's eyes through the slits in the mask.

MN1. Influence. Instill Fear in Durasay.: 1eF 1 Light Side
- unconverted, but +1 Dark Side from Mask, so success.

"And your concern comes from something else than self-interest? Like I said, this is an internal matter of the Sith. Enlighten me how you can be helpful."

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: this is Moyr's Discipline versus Durasay's Discipline as difficulty.

[Durasay Mixo]

Ooc: I would also like to spend a destiny point (light side) to upgrade my resistence.

2 red dice, if you please)

[Moyr Ahaya]

There was some battle of wills but in the end the man did not cower. What surprised Moyr, and made her doubly wary.

MN1. Discipline vs. Durasay. Ha Ha.: 2eA+2eC 0 successes

[Durasay Mixo]

Durasay felt that dark thought against, steeling himself to the inslaught. He knew that trick well enough. His smile never disappeared, as he withdrew his hand, throwing back the coat, the glint of the handle of his heavy blaster in the holster.

"I care because someome has been killed, and could jeopardize the best chance at peace for the galaxy, lady Sith. My self interest is in trying to attain that peace, otherwise, future generations may struggle through this turbulence." His tone darkened somewhat, but his sincerity was genuine.

[Moyr Ahaya]

The Wraith did not threaten him with any weapon. Where was her lightsabre? She just stood there.

"If you are a man of such insight, you should be aware that it is not the best approach to insert yourself in Sith affairs through peacetalk." She paused. "I repeat, in addition to feeling entitled beyond your place, how do you deem yourself helpful?"

[Galen Sol]

Galen, meanwhile, moved closer to the other woman, offering a smile. "Lana, was it?"

[Durasay Mixo]

"I would assume one such as yourself could see I am no stranger to danger or intrigue. I can be most helpful in getting information out of witnesses. Without being as frightening to some as dealing with the Sith. No disrespect is intended, Dark Lady." He relaxed his posture against the alley wall, his focus entirely on her.

"They might be more willing to talk to me, as opposed to someone of your... prominent position. The carrot versus the stick."

[Dapper Dog]

Galen, meanwhile, moved closer to the other woman, offering a smile. "Lana, was it?"

Lana nods in the affirmative as she does what she can to prepare the body for transport. She says softly, "This is savage."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"And are you ready to pass whatever you learn by the talking around to me first, in unadulterated version?" The Sith asked, giving a side-glance to Galen getting cosy with Xevious' girl.

[Durasay Mixo]

The smile never left the pantoran's face. "I told you I would assist you, and I have been nothing but honest with you. It would not be prudent to attempt to deceive you."

His pride, or perhaps his arrogance, was beginning to show. "I think it would be in your best interest if I assisted."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"This is not for you to tell. I have little patience for imposition." She retorted quickly. "If you feel like being too smart with me, better reconsider." The Sith looked at Galen. "Otherwise, take this one and look and ask around. He's only distracting the girl from her task. If we don't cross paths tonight again, I expect a word delivered to the Imperial Compound. Colonel Hala Moraal would be your contact person in such case."

[Galen Sol]

Lana nods in the affirmative as she does what she can to prepare the body for transport. She says softly, "This is savage."

"It is." He nodded. "Would you like help? I know you are following orders, but that doesn't mean you have to do it alone."

He heard the other one speak about him at that point and shrugged. "It's up to you."

[Durasay Mixo]

Influence on Moyr (relaxing emotion): 1eP+1eA+2eD+1eF 2 Light Side


Durasay spoke calmly, trying to put the Sith at ease, but felt that pressure fighting back against his influence. "The moment we find anything, we will report back to the goos Colonel, Dark Lady."

He sighed, resigning himself to the task. "Where did you see those vagrants run off to?"

[Galen Sol]

"Towards the prison." he answered. "I believe there's a market that way."

[Dapper Dog]

Lana nods, "I would not turn it down, thank you."

[Galen Sol]

Carefully and respectfully, he helped her wrap the body, offering his own cloak of necessary. He looked back at the masked twi'lek, who he had many other questions for.

"I could try tracking their steps, but this is a city. Several people have been through here. Or, I can carry him."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"It's up to the apprentice to choose the way to carry out her responsibility." The Sith replied. "Very well. Let's begin the search."

[Streetwise? Else?]

[Durasay Mixo]

"Very well." He grinned at the Sith, before beginning the investigation. His cunning mind being put to use, as he started to hit the streets.

Streetwise to start following the clues of the murder: 3eA 3 successes, 3 advantage


Difficulty for Streetwie: 3eD+1eS 0 successes, 3 threat


End result: 3 success, no advantages
