[D3 MA Niche Appeal] Dispatching Duties

[Dapper Dog]

“You were his fiancee, even after ten minutes it should be obvious my sibling has many less than prositive qualities. Your guess is as good as mine, it seems an obvious otucoem for a life of debauchery and infamy,” she says calmly.

“My brother has been dead to me for some time now; I had hoped he would avoid such an end. Well I shall contact the Hutts on the matter, is there anything else? At least you are back on the market, so to speak, Lady Cortess.”

[Alysele Cortess]

Sooooper helpful. "Before he died, he decided to change." Was it kindness? Or twisting the dagger?

[Dapper Dog]

"I highly doubt that," the Thul noblewoman replies.

[Alysele Cortess]

"Mhm, well, I'm sorry to hear that then." Alysele replied.

"My condolences nonetheless. And I would suggest heightening your security nonetheless."

[Dapper Dog]

Ziandra smiles and says, “I will take your words under advisement, master Jedi. I do not think I have anything to worry about here on Coruscant. I would put this matter behind us, thank you for your call.”

“My brother did not deserve his fate, but he will be remembered fondly I am sure.”

OOC: You may roll your Discipline as difficulty versus her Deception if you so choose.

Ziandra Deception: 3eA+1eP 3 successes, 2 advantage

[Alysele Cortess]

"Very well." One more dead Thul or not, who cares at this rate. She did frown, but didn't put it to words just yet. How did she know I am a Jedi?

OOC:
D3 MA Discipline (Willpower) vs Deception: 2eD+1eC 0 successes, 5 threat


Can I spin threat as some kind of guilt on her behalf?

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Anything you want to do with the three threat?

[Alysele Cortess]

OOC: Not sure... something that might bring her around in the future, or perhaps guilt for lying?

[Dapper Dog]

“If I can impose on you further, it stands to reason that you are in the best position to be aid House Thul in reclaiming m brother. I have little agency here on Coruscant if you could see to the Hutts to have his body sent to Coruscant I would be grateful. One last task for your fiancée, so to speak?” she offers with mild annoyance.

“Matters keep me tied here in the Core Worlds, sadly.”

[Alysele Cortess]

Alysele frowned. "Well, I am sure I can make an effort." Whee. More work.

"Though in return, I would impose on you as well. I have found myself how your house is doing since the travesty that happened at home. Your brother... lacked some of the key points." Like. All of it. Everything.

[Dapper Dog]

“I am not sure I understand your meaning,” she replies calmly. “Are you inquiring into the well being of House Thul?”

[Alysele Cortess]

"Yes. Considering we almost became relatives, I am hoping to know more how are the Thul-s doing."

[Dapper Dog]

“My family livesd in exile due to political machinations by small minded nobles looking for an excuse to claim our lands and exploit our hard fought resources. The heir to our family is dead, I am stuck on Coruscant instead of the ancestral lands that are mine by right,” Ziandra says calmly.

“The House of Thul has seen better days.”

She adds with mild annoyance, “My father is in declining health, and although we have vast wealth it is a fraction of what we had on Alderaan. Now we are forced to deal with… houses of lesser value like yours simply to reclaim what is ours.”

[Alysele Cortess]

Aly kept her cool, though it was difficult. "Well, I assume you are now the heir then, are you not?" She asked in return.

"This does complicate the Thul return to Alderaan, certainly."

[Dapper Dog]

“It simplifies it in reality, but that is a matter for the family. You need not concern yourself on it any further. House Cortess has served their purpose,” she replies.

[Alysele Cortess]

Alysele raised an eyebrow. "Really? Was that all?" That was.... ominous.

[Dapper Dog]

“I don’t have time to assuage your naïve notions. Thank you and I hope you will see to returning the corpse to my family, House Cortess will be remembered when we are ascendant once more,” she offers and then closes the call.

[Alysele Cortess]

Well that was disappointing.

"Take care." When the holocall ended, she continued. "You frigid bitch."
