The muun, muun, muuney! (D1, LM)

[Shaisha Vreysk]

As soon as she rendezvous at Mezenti spaceport with another agent of Section IX who brought the sleek sport speeder for her, Shaisha didn't even look back at the explosions that were reverberating through the spaceport as she assumed it was business as usual in this hive of scum and villainy, and set course straight away for the abode of her target; Timu Vosk. There really was no point in delaying in this task, considering everything else she was already plotting, and knowing that it was of 'personal' importance to Vowrawn probably meant it would be best to make sure it didn't fall into the wrong hands.

Slowing down the speeder as she reached the platform outside the fancy place of the wealthy Muun, the stylishly dressed Sith approached. Might as well be polite and ring the doorbell.

[Dapper Dog]

The door slides open to a wealthy apartment. The muun approaches the door in a luxurious robe with a smile and says, "You must be Lady Vreysk, I have heard so much about... I was just in the middle of breakfast. I thought I would not see you till the game, but I see my magnetic personality cannot be denied."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Shaisha thought back to Anthy's lecture about Muuns in general and bows respectfully to the wealthy and incredibly tall alien. "Master Vosk, it is as you say, I simply could not stay away after arriving on Nar Shaddaa after hearing so much about you. It is a pleasure to see you in person... the holo does not do you justice. Darth Vowrawn sends his warmest regards."

The small sith, even with heels, felt dwarfed in comparison to the Muun. "If it is no inconvenience to you, I would rather prefer to get business out of the way, rather than to have it distract from the game tonight."

[Dapper Dog]

“Well my dear I do not wish to be rude to my other guest,” he starts walking to a covered patio overlooking the city and seated at the table is a woman she has not seen in some time but one she is very familiar with. Prim and proper and still as lovely as the first day she met her, there is Lady Torsin.

Raven smiles and stands, she say, “Is… is that you Shai-shai?”

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Shaisha follows the Muun, but there is certainly a flash of surprise on her face as she sees Raven Torsin before her. "Raven...?" the female sith blinks a little in surprise.

Syl said you were on the Outer Rim somewhere.

"This is an unexpected surprise. Though not an unwelcome one. I must say, master Vosk, you draw the most interesting guests."

[Dapper Dog]

Vosk smiles and says, “I will go see what is taking my droid so long, give you two a moment to catch up.”

Raven for her part recovers quickly and says, “You look wonderful Shai-shai, it has been too long. I had no idea you were coming to Nar Shaddaa, it was really by chance that I came here. With all the fighting in the Outer Rim I thought it best to go somewhere a bit less prone to explode.”

“I apologize I mean, my lord,” she says with a demure nod of her head to the Sith.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"You certainly chose an interesting place away from the fighting then, as well as interesting company," the sith smirks a little.

"So you're not here as part of the peace summit then, I take it. Nor have you told Syl that you're here?" Shaisha cocked her head a little to the side as she regarded Raven's response. Maybe she doesn't know he's here too... Instinctively, Shaisha slips into the flow of the Force around her. The Dark Side easily flourished on Nar Shaddaa.

D1 LM Sense Force power to sense current emotional state: 1eF 1 Dark Side

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Discipline check versus Hard, 3 red dice due to her Discipline.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Shaisha is surprised for a brief moment as she finds Raven's mental barriers harder to look past than expected, but with some effort, the daughter of Lord Scourge cannot be stopped.

D1 LM Discipline/Will vs Raven: 2eP+1eA+3eC 1 success, 1 threat

[Dapper Dog]

Raven has a slight tinge of fear but there is something else a bizarre calm, not that of a serenity but one of a predator watching their prey who thinks they are safe and knowing that death is only seconds away. That moment of safety before she pounces and devours her meal feasting on the jolt of fear and adrenaline.

She says, "I didn't even know Sylvie was here, he is so busy lately and I don't like to bother him with his important work for Darth Baras. He has become a very important man, just like his father."

OOC: Suffer one strain.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Well, peace talks, so makes sense that he at least is here on behalf of the Sith. You and Aramis taught him well in how to handle delicate situations like this," she says with a smile to mask her own wariness as the feedback from the Force made her be aware of danger. This is unexpected.

"Can of course make it our little secret if you don't want him to fret too much," Shaisha chuckles, "if you tell me how you know our esteemed host."

[Dapper Dog]

“I do business with him, Lord Torsin had his work for the Empire I handled the family matters. He’s a business partner in a few ventures, mostly humanitarian that I run. I was her to see if he would invest in a venture,” she says sweetly.

“I wanted to aid the children refugees, there are many coming to Nar Shaddaa and they need food, clothing, and education,” she says thoughtfully. Yet it was a lie, Shaisha could see the lack of… sympathy in her mannerisms, her voice was too controlled.

Raven shifts ever so slightly to pour juice for the both of them and in that moment she thinks she sees a glint of silver black under her jacket… a weapon? A sacred weapon of the Sith?

OOC: Raven Deception vs. Shaisha: 2eP+1eA+2eC+1eD 2 failures, 1 threat

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Raven, you're a terrible liar. Or maybe I'm just getting better at spotting when people are...

"Is that so? Vosk is certainly a good business partner in that regard then, it would seem," the Sith smiles calmly and accepts the juice, making a mental note of how easy it would be for Raven to go for her conceal weapon. "Having raised the three of us, looking after these refugees must be child's play in comparison."

"Will you be staying for long?"

[Dapper Dog]

“Maybe a few days, now that I know you and Sylvie are here I may surprise him. Though how do you know Vosk, don’t tell me you fell for his wannabe playboy shtick, I hope we had raised you better than that,” she says with a warm smile.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"No, no, nothing like that," Shaisha stifles a laugh at the idea. Me and a Muun? As if!

"Just some interest in some of his collections; my master has an interest in procuring some more for his own, but seeing as he is busy here I am instead."

OOC: That's a lie, so how much Difficulty/Challenge on my Deception-roll?

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: 3 challenge dice, red dice.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Perhaps it was just something about lying to a mother-figure, or the unexpected feeling of danger, that threw her off her game...

[Dapper Dog]

Shaisha could see that Raven knew she was lying but she played along and just sipped at the juice.

“If I recall you serve Darth Vowrawn, I rather like him, charming and deadly. A pity he and Darth Baras have such enmity, it must really put on a strain on your relationship with Sylvie. Sith play such dangerous games, I worry about you two,” she says lowering her eyes in thought or maybe observing the Sith’s weapons it’s hard to tell.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Charming and deadly seem like an accurate description," she agrees with a nod, "but yes, it's a pity he and Baras don't see eye to eye. Wouldn't be too concerned about it so far though... you know Syl and I have always poked at dangers since we were young, we'll get through this too, and I keep an eye on him so he doesn't go and do something silly on his own."

Shaisha smiles a little. Even if they were both lying on some subjects, she at least was honest in that she still looked after her silly brother.

[Dapper Dog]

“I still worry, the Sith play to win and losing means death,” she says with concern.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Shaisha takes a long sip from her juice as she weighs the matter in her head. Perhaps this was the fear she had senses in Raven.

"... Is there something you want me to do to keep him safe?" she finally offers.

[Dapper Dog]

“Keep him safe, things… are always dangerous and I know it is a mother’s worry but Baras… the Sith they are not always careful with their subordinates,” she says honestly.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Not the likes of Baras, no...

"I will do what I can to keep him safe," Shaisha says with a reassuring nod. "For now, let's enjoy the moment and some Muun hospitality."

[Dapper Dog]

Vosk returns with a droid holding a plate of baked treats and fruit and says, "Sorry I had to take a call, I hope I did not keep you waiting?"

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Not at all," Shaisha puts on a charming smile as their host returns. "Though your return is most welcome."
