Remember Me (D7, LA)

[Shaisha Vreysk]

It actually surprised her a little that the Hutts had a small place in the Uptown District that had something resembling a garden or a park. Though on closer inspection, the grass was fake, as were the trees too. Only the pond was real, as well as the colorful fish swimming in it.

The female pureblood waited patiently by the edge of the pond, calmly watching the little rainbows of fish swim past.

[Dapper Dog]

There was an old woman offering little treats to the children and blankets to the needy. Just doing her part for the people, and those in need. She does not move very quickly as many crowd around her for the little bit of happiness she is providing.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

It takes her a moment to recognize the old woman... but it was her. Though, she just couldn't bring herself to halt the woman's procession, as watching it reminded her of the happiness she had heard in that Cathar child's voice when his cat had been returned to him.

Damn it.

With a sigh, she rises from her seat and moves toward the old woman. "... Can I help you with that?" she asks cautiously, not sure how an old jedi would react.

[Dapper Dog]

“Oh sure, here hand these blankets out to those who may need something against the rain. Waterproof, you see,” she says to the Sith.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Er... sure," she looks slightly puzzled at the blankets, but apart from that she doesn't protest. Seeing as people seemed to be crowding around the woman, at least she didn't have to hunt down people who needed these.

"Right... waterproof blankets here, for those who need it." I'm a nice Sith. I don't bite. That often. Ok, occassionally... for fun, or in a Huttball match...

[Dapper Dog]

Once all the blankets and food are dispersed the old Jedi says, “Well you do look familiar, older than I suppose the last time we met and much nicer. What brings you back to my neck of the woods, so to speak.”

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"I like to think I'm much nicer when I'm me... err... that sounds kind of weird, I guess," her lips press together in annoyance with herself.

"... I have no recollection of being here before, Jedi. And knowing there are things I've done that I don't even know about, it's like having an itch I can't scratch. I encountered the green guy yesterday when trying to track down where I had been before, and he recognized you on some footage with us together."

She sighs. "... It just would mean a lot to me to at least try to find out what I was doing here then."

[Dapper Dog]

“Well I am not sure of your purpose but you came to me asking about Nal Hutta, you were not rude but you were focused. A sith blood here on Nal Hutta tends to stand out,” she replies.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Nal Hutta?" she tilts her head to the side, recalling the briefing on that particular place. "What was I asking about Nal Hutta?"

[Dapper Dog]

“A place that seems far more popular these days then it really should, a place of myth called Hollow Lake. I don’t recommend it for anyone, and the dark side was strong with… well stronger with you then than it is now,” she says curiously.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"It's... complicated," her smile is guarded. "In a way, I could say I wasn't myself back then."

"... So what's the deal with this Hollow Lake, since you don't recommend it to anyone?"

[Dapper Dog]

“It is a dark side vergence, it is old probably older than the occupation of the Hutts. It is not a place for anyone, but I doubt that will stop others from trying to breach its secrets,” she says.

“Korriban has many such places if I recall.”

[Shaisha Vreysk]

It was starting to make sense why the Emperor would want to seek out such a place now...

"Korriban is a sacred place for the Dark Side," she adds, aware of its many vergences. "You almost sound like you've been there."

[Dapper Dog]

“Before the Sith took over I was there… some forty odd years ago, maybe less. It was not my favorite place to be,” she replies.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

It was still a disgusting thought to know that the Jedi had held the planet of her ancestors for so long.

"It is not a place for those too strongly aligned to the Light," she agrees. Not that she extended her senses to feel it, but she suspected the old lady was powerful with the Light. "... Though both sides have their place in the galaxy," she adds after some thought.

[Dapper Dog]

The old Jedi just chuckles and says, "I suppose I agree with their being a place for both. Best of luck to you if you choose to explore the Hollow Lake."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Curiosity killed the Nexu Cat, I guess," she chuckles a little as well. "It's important to me to get to the bottom of this, so it's not very likely that I shy away. Anything you could tell me about the place... I would appriciate it."

[Dapper Dog]

“I would tell you to avoid it,” she says honestly. “Otherwise I cannot say any more about it, the location is something of an open secret. The Hutts probably know but they see no profit in a dead lake.”

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Seeing as it was an 'open secret', she figures she can probably look up more information on it at the compound at a later point.

"Yeah, I can see why that wouldn't interest them..." filthy slugs. "Well... guess you've been more forthcoming than I expected. It's been most appriciated, and... give the green guy my regards. Probably couldn't have managed this without his aid."

[Dapper Dog]

“Balos sends his regards… well he said you were not a totally evil bitch, to which I gave him a light dressing down for manners. In retrospect, I agree with his wording in spirit,” she replies with a polite smile.

“Do be careful dearie, it is a dangerous place.”

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Shaisha snickers. "He's got good spirit. Who knows, I might run into him again. For a Jedi, he's not half-bad, and you seem pretty alright too... though you don't really look much like a Jedi."

"I will try to be careful."
