[Day 1 - ME] Why Can't We be Friends? - Event

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Concerned, are we?" she chuckled. "Don't worry... there is nothing of interest for me in the Republic compound that would require such an approach, at the moment. And a blaster wouldn't be very effective either."

[Cole Ormont]

"Not concerned, unless there's something I should be concerned about. I don't know what you do for fun," Cole shrugs as they near Ashla.

[Alysele Cortess]

"Or instead we can just show each other some forms. In order to facilitate an exchange of ideas." Remmington suggests.

He nods. "Well I can certainly let you know. Do you do the work on your lightsaber yourself? I usually just find parts and build them myself."

"Perhaps..." She smiled icily. "Let's discuss at a later date. "It is a recent construction, I have not done much myself. I am looking to buy some new attachments, one can never be prepared enough, after all." She didn't mean to sound threatening, but then, the weird situation did mean that talking about weapons might not be the best option.

"I hope you're travels were safe? I have heard that there were some explosions at the port this morning?"

[Vec Gunnar]

There was a slight pause from Vec when she mentioned something about the authorities and staying on the move, knowing there was a full story there somewhere. However, he wasn't going to ask. "There's value in that, yeah? Must be something to end up training with children."

Now that he thought about it, how old was this woman exactly? He couldn't exactly tell with Togruta and their bold stripes on their faces.

He took a small sip of the drink that provided. "Thanks. I don't know if I know how things work everywhere. I'm not a Jedi but I've been around. That's sometimes a side effect when it comes to medals, not all the time. When you have that much brass, you have more weight on you to push things around and it also tilts you. My opinion doesn't mean much when I've got nothing to show for it in metal, unfortunately. I just got a job to do."

"No clue, really." he gave a hapless shrug as he looked at the crowd of people at the club. It still seemed like a strange venue to be having a meeting, he would have pictured this would have transpired in a board room. "I'd imagine that you'll go home and I'll go home, craziness notwithstanding. It'd be really lousy if something bold happened here, I'm sure there's a certain percentage fee the Hutts will take from us if that happened." Maybe that's what they're hoping to cash in on.

[Layne Hoshin]

Niall blinked, but his polite expression didn't change. "I was hoping to identify where I knew you from. Ummm... I don't think I've seen you on the field." Although his memory of her was recent. His eyes narrowed. "You haven't been to Alderaan recently, have you?" It couldn't be her... could it? But where else would he remember a Sith?

She grew a predatory smile; amused as she was by the question and more thrilled than she'd care to admit by the prospect of being at the center of a scene caused ultimately by her handiwork.

"Oh yes. Your family has quite the mountain retreat."

[Niall Organa]

She grew a predatory smile; amused as she was by the question and more thrilled than she'd care to admit by the prospect of being at the center of a scene caused ultimately by her handiwork.

"Oh yes. Your family has quite the mountain retreat."

It was her. Niall blinked.

After a moment, his lips twitched. "Thank you. We do our best to provide for our guests." He said, his tone dry. He tilted his head, looking at her. "I didn't really follow the investigation. Did you break in, or did you come by an invitation somehow?"

[Remmington Thalalas]

Remmington glances over towards the Darth before returning his eyes to Alysele and nods.

"My trip was pleasant and uneventful. That is the first time for me hearing about that as well. I hope that no one was really hurt too bad." He replies. "Do you know any more details about that?"

[Jo'ren Rath]

Jo'ren had been listening in and watching the conversations and interactions. He saw Niall approaching Layne and wondered what he was planning. The guy was useful on the Huttball field, so he hoped Layne wasn't about to cut him up.

Torsin send to be at home in the role of negotiator. Kristal was here too and he would have to greet her at some point. He grinned seeing Shaisha chatting with a young human, she seemed to be having fun.

Turning to the black armoured Sith beside him he lowered his voice. "So, you wear the armour of an ancient tomb guardian? Bet there's a story there. Who's your master Dujar?"

[Layne Hoshin]

How dissappointing that he didn't immediately launch into an uncontrolleable rage. That would've been fun. Maybe he needed a little more poking.

"Was it supposed to be hard to get an invitation? I guess Organa security hasn't heard of background checks."

[Niall Organa]

How dissappointing that he didn't immediately launch into an uncontrolleable rage. That would've been fun. Maybe he needed a little more poking.

"Was it supposed to be hard to get an invitation? I guess Organa security hasn't heard of background checks."

Niall's lips twitched again, almost a smile. "Are you sure it wasn't just that you had a good cover? If not, well, I'll be happy to pass any suggestions you have on to the security team." The same dry tone.

"Can I ask about the man you killed? I'll understand if you don't want to tell me why you killed him. I'm just curious."

[Layne Hoshin]

"He wasn't a friend of yours? He was one of your planet's nobles, after all. Hmm, could've been interesting. It must have been pretty embarassing for house Organa in the aftermath. Will anyone ever trust an Organa enough again to come to one of their parties? Can't even stop a sixteen year old from getting away with that sort of thing. It just isn't safe."

[Alysele Cortess]

Remmington glances over towards the Darth before returning his eyes to Alysele and nods.

"My trip was pleasant and uneventful. That is the first time for me hearing about that as well. I hope that no one was really hurt too bad." He replies. "Do you know any more details about that?"

She followed his eyes, but didn't remark on it.

"No other details sadly. It is good to know that you are uninjured." She smiled briefly. "How are you enjoying the Smuggler's Moon?"

[Niall Organa]

"He wasn't a friend of yours? He was one of your planet's nobles, after all. Hmm, could've been interesting. It must have been pretty embarassing for house Organa in the aftermath. Will anyone ever trust an Organa enough again to come to one of their parties? Can't even stop a sixteen year old from getting away with that sort of thing. It just isn't safe."

"A Sith with a unique lightsaber is hardly the average sixteen year old." His tone was, if anything, even more dry. Perhaps that meant she was getting to him?

Niall frowned at her. "Could have been interesting? Are you saying you'd have preferred that he was a friend of mine?"

[Layne Hoshin]

"It would've been interesting in that maybe it'd unleash something a bit more fun than just that practiced noble 'refinement'."

[Niall Organa]

"It would've been interesting in that maybe it'd unleash something a bit more fun than just that practiced noble 'refinement'."

"Sorry." Niall said. "I suppose you'll just have to try harder. Perhaps there's something there, if you keep looking. Or perhaps you just need to get more alcohol in me." He finished the rest of his, setting the glass aside.

"Would only anger do? Or would you be happy if I displayed some other emotion, too?" Just as before, Niall sounded more curious than anything.

[Layne Hoshin]

"Anger would be the most entertaining, I think. Especially the violence that comes with it, given the context we're in."

She crossed her arms. "At least it's not dull, like this party. Though granted, it's a bit better than that party on Alderaan was. Such a relief when I ended it. Didn't have to listen to that prattle anymore."

[Niall Organa]

"You're going to have to look elsewhere for violence. I'm not going to be fighting you. Unless the peace talks break down, I suppose."

His eyes didn't quite roll, but they went up for a few moments. "Would you consider joining a huttball team, Lady, ah...?" He trailed off invitingly.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Not concerned, unless there's something I should be concerned about. I don't know what you do for fun," Cole shrugs as they near Ashla.

"You'd be surprised how much we Sith have fun like other humanoid-species do," she comments with a small roll of her eyes as Cole leads the way, though her attention drifts a little to some of the other engagements in the room.

[Layne Hoshin]

She let out a short laugh of disbelief. "Join a republic huttball team? Well, at least that's an interesting proposition."

And then she considered it. "I did get to watch a game today. Simple enough rules."

[Niall Organa]

She let out a short laugh of disbelief. "Join a republic huttball team? Well, at least that's an interesting proposition."

And then she considered it. "I did get to watch a game today. Simple enough rules."

"Actually, the team is mixed. Republic, Sith, and other. I've seen some of my teammates here, in fact." He gave a quick wave to Jo'ren, nearby. "I don't suppose it was our match you saw? The Valkyries." Seemed unlikely, or surely she would have recognized him. Unless she was pretending not to. Or unless she just didn't care about non-Sith.

[Sylvain Torsin]

"...you mean speaking to me is better then surviving an attack on your person and being very nearly in a violent confrontation in the middle of the street?" Her brows shot up, the deadpan delivery a bit ruined by both a hesitant smile and the begins of a chuckle before she even finished speaking.

In a mechanized deadpan tone he replied, "Marginally..."

He paused for a moment before laughing politely through his mask.

[Layne Hoshin]

She had indeed not recognized him. He had been neither sith nor jedi, and thus reduced to merely 'generic soldier type' when she was watching.

"Then you should be proud. You earned a killer 400 credits. I'll be sure to put it to good use, don't worry."

[Niall Organa]

She had indeed not recognized him. He had been neither sith nor jedi, and thus reduced to merely 'generic soldier type' when she was watching.

"Then you should be proud. You earned a killer 400 credits. I'll be sure to put it to good use, don't worry."

"Oh, good. I'm glad, really. I imagine that you can never have enough black clothing, or things with spikes on them." He was speaking in his dry tone again.

[Layne Hoshin]

"If that's what you think killing entails, you must have been promoted on family ties."

She really was everything you'd imagine a moody and rebellious teenage sith would be.

[Niall Organa]

"If that's what you think killing entails, you must have been promoted on family ties."

She really was everything you'd imagine a moody and rebellious teenage sith would be.

Niall sighed. "No. I don't." It wasn't much of an emotion, and more in the downward direction than upward, but at least she'd finally gotten an emotion out of him.

"I'm not sure what your game is." He said after a moment, frowning at her. "If you want to see how I am... not here, join our Huttball team. Or join another one, if you'd rather have the chance to punch me in the face. Or you can try talking to me instead of trying to get a rise out of me." He sighed again, looking away.
