Treading Down [ME2]

[Nekoinu]

"What? What is that supposed to mean?" she asked, genuinely curious and confused.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"You just have to learn to ride the beast, and use it as a weapon. The best weapon is what is not considered as one." Moyr entertained a reply.

[Nekoinu]

The woman groaned. "Come on. I want to, well, fight. I didn't come here for any tests. Lady, can't you just point me the right way or something?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"We both want the same thing. To break the chains. Your chance to fight will come soon enough."

[Nekoinu]

"How soon is soon?" She crossed her arms and glowered. "This better not be a waste of my time."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"You have passion. It gives you the strength to survive and rise up, and eventually the power to fight. But the path takes time."

[Nekoinu]

"Yeah, yeah. Just tell me when I can actually do something...."

[Moyr Ahaya]

Moyr didn't reply outright, observing the area.

[Craw Toboga]

Craw aimed at the woman who had approached Moyr. In case of trouble, he told himself.

[Nekoinu]

The woman sighed and took a spot against the wall with Moyr.

It took awhile but at last a man with a bandana over his mouth came up to the twi'lek. "You have waited a long time. Why?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Because I want to speak with those who have the guts to oppose the Hutts, and I don't take no for an answer." Moyr replied calmly.

[Craw Toboga]

Craw alternated sighting between the woman and the new arrivee. He began to hum a little tune, inaudible outside his helmet, to spend the time. He was also stealthy.

[Nekoinu]

"You don't take no for an answer? You aren't in charge here, ma'am. If you think you can beat something outta me, then you best give up now."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Why would I be beating you? It sounds like a stupid thing to do unless you force me to by being hostile." She replied calmly. "I am not in charge here, but I have power that is not related to any authority over this place. If you have wits and brains comparable to your guts, you may gain a valuable ally tonight. Like I told one of your friends, I killed a Hutt when I was thirteen."

[Nekoinu]

"You aren't a Shadowtowna. I can tell. We can tell. And while you may hate da Hutts like we do, you don't have the same heart. But first, why don't you enlighten me? What can you offa to me?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"I am not here to enlighten you or turn you to my view of things. You have your reasons and I have my own, and this is not going to change. The real question is what you want to accomplish, and if you have the means for it. Because killing N'ventas didn't accomplish much."

[Nekoinu]

"Killin' him showed all of them that they aren't invincible. That they can't ignore Shadowtownas and longa."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"You took out a guy that meant least. Ok, you scared some minions of fat slugs a little, but they'll get over it. Now you have put them on alert, and crackdowns will happen. This kind of fighting is like throwing stones at a wall. I thought you would like to break the wall. Am I wrong?"

[Nekoinu]

"You think ya 'ave a betta plan. Then tell me, outsida. What do ya propose instead?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"And who do I have the pleasure with? And shall we be talking in this place or some better place?" She smiled. "I have something massive and expensive in mind."

[Nekoinu]

"No names. We don't do names. Everyone is da same." A pause. "I am here to assess you. I don't know our next move cause each of us plays a different role. Do you understand, outsida?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"But you have someone at the helm of it, I am sure. I want to speak with him or her. We can meet off-moon if you think it's safer, but as partners. I want you to succeed, and I have both the idea and the way how it could happen."

[Nekoinu]

He let out a little laugh. "I have no idea who is'n charge. If I like you, I send you to the next meeting spot. Afta that, it is off my hands."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"If I can meet the right people there, then alright."

[Nekoinu]

"You go alone and nobody follow ya." He looked over to the frail woman. "She can go with ya too. Next meetin' is not for several hours. But it here, also in Shadow Town. Same routine, although now you use 'malpractice' and 'opal.' Am I clear, outsida?"
