We played Ball together (D10, LE, Terror Star bay)

[Remmington Thalalas]

Remmington stops by the party and waves to everyone with a cheer. "Hey everyone! Thanks for throwing the party Jo'ren." He casually glances at the snacks and drinks as well as everyone gathered so far.

[Arsele Girard]

Arsele nods to Remmy before turning back to the others, "Nonsense Mister Sol; On the fighting part, not the singing part. Or I suppose it might be more accurate to say I don't normally get involved in such things. Though I do suppose there is much in common between Huttball and a barfight..."

She turned to Shaisha specifically, "Anyways, all that aside... it is nice to meet you Miss Vreysk. As Mister Sol said, I am a singer when I'm not playing Huttball. As well as an occasional dancer and stripper."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Shaisha gave a brief nod to Remmington, but kept her attention mostly on Arsele. "There is certainly a lot of similarities between Huttball and bar-brawling," she agreed with a light-hearted chuckle.

"A singer? What sort of music is it that you do?"

[Galen Sol]

"I never did thank you properly for helping out." Galen said to Arsele. "Hopefully I can remedy that at some point."

[Arsele Girard]

"Help you? I thought that was mostly Z's little 'issue'. As to my singing... Well, I'm actually trained in Alderaanian opera, if you would believe it. But around here there's a lot more call for jizz wailing, jatz calling, and lounge crooning. Which is probably better anyways."

[Galen Sol]

"It was all on him, but I'm sure I would have had more bruises if not for you." he replied.

[Remmington Thalalas]

Remmington notes Galen and extends his hand in greeting to him. "I saw you once at the dinner with the Jedi. I'm sorry I didn't catch your name then. Remmington Thalalas, nice to meet you."

[Galen Sol]

"Galen Sol." he shook his hand. "Good to meet you."

[Vec Gunnar]

Vec wasn't one for social events but he was in the neighbourhood and decided to drop by since there were drinks involved. However, he'll hold off from the storytelling this time around. He made his way over to the table and got himself a mug, giving a nod or a grunt to everyone in passing. "Nice crowd, Jo'ren. Hope the hutts flipped the bill for this, they were going to pay you for tonight anyway, yeah?"

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"I'm not sure I would call that kind of music better than opera," she said with a slightly disapproving shake of her head. "I've heard a lot of Alderaanian opera these past years. Very nice, as long as the soprano doesn't rely too much on her vibrato."

[Niall Organa]

Niall was late, but he was there. For once, he wasn't dressed in his Republic uniform, nor in his exercise clothing. Instead, he was dressed in Alderaanian style clothing, with tunic and half-cape, all in blue.

He hesitated just a little as he made his entrance, his lips pursing slightly, before he made his way to the table with the food.

[Jo'ren Rath]

"Hey Rem, Vec, really glad you guys made it!" He grabbed some mugs and poured out blood wine for them. "You'll remember this from Yavin IV Rem. Vec, this is the Massassi's favourite: blood wine. The Queen of the Massassi gave me a batch to bring with me so it seemed like a good time to crack in to it."

He chuckled at Vec's comment about the Hutts. "Heh, maybe they were glad they didn't have to pay out anymore. 100% win record for yours truly."

When Niall entered Jo'ren wondered for a moment if it was the same guy. He looked odd in his native attire. "Is that Captain Alderaan, or Niall Organa? I can't tell from here." He grinned and poured yet another mug. "Hey 2V, we're gonna need another barrel. Welcome to the party Niall."

[Niall Organa]

Niall gave the big Sith a smile, only shaking his head a little. "Thank you, Jo'ren. I wouldn't have missed it for anything."

He glanced down at his clothing. "I suppose, in my House clothing instead of my Republic uniform, I'm Niall Organa. The cover identity." He said, nodding.

He accepted the mug. "I've never had bloodwine. Where does it come from?"

[Jo'ren Rath]

Jo'ren gave him a fist bump. "It's different, that's all. I was getting used to seeing everyone in their team gear. Been fun playing with all you guys and gals."

He sipped his blood wine. "This comes from the Jungles of Yavin IV. The Massassi make it, and then throw wild days-long parties."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Looking sharp, Captain," she greeted him with a smile. "I *almost* sometimes regret calling you Captain Alderaan to Jo'ren at the beginning of these peace talks, but seeing how the name has caught on, I feel a small sense of glee instead."

She drank deeply from her mug.

"By the way," Shaisha leaned a little closer to Jo'ren. "Cole regrets he could not make it. Work, I assume. But..." her voice dropped to a whisper for just the two Sith. "He was really hoping for a... private after-party later."

[Remmington Thalalas]

"How did you playing Huttball Galen?" Remmington asks.

When Vec and Niall arrive he greets each of them. "Oh hey Vec! Good seeing you again. Good work the other day."

He whistles at Niall. "You certainly make that look captain. I hope that you will consider striking a pose or two for a swimsuit calendar shoot." He grins.

He accepts the blood wine from Jo'ren. "Oh nice. I didn't you know that you were close with the Queen of the Massassi." He takes a sip of the drink.

[Aphr Ahaya]

Aphr sipped on the strong wine, smiling as more people arrived. They all got a wave, especially Niall and Arsele, and she moved in the direction of the conversations.

[Niall Organa]

Niall managed not to wince at the impact from the large Sith's fist. Nor at the strong unusual wine.

He smiled at Remmington. "Swimsuit?" He cleared his throat; the wine made him a little hoarse. "Wearing Alderaanian formal-wear is one thing. I don't expect I'll be wearing a swimsuit anytime soon. Not unless I have a fair amount to drink." He grimaced. "Or maybe a mug and a half of blood wine."

Shaisha got a slightly pained smile. "I live to serve." He deadpanned. "So that was you that started it?" He shook his head. "It's nice to have someone to blame. Cole was right to warn me about you." He said, his tone dryly humorous.

Aphr got a smile and a wave, Niall gesturing for her to join the group. "Glad you could make it. It's too bad we couldn't all get one last game together, isn't it?"

[Galen Sol]

"I don't understand why anyone would wear anything specifically for swimming." Galen shrugged. "Seems impractical."

[Jo'ren Rath]

"Yeah, swimming naked is much more liberating." He shrugged and leaned in to whisper to Shaisha.
"Cole's really missing out tonight, heh. Maybe we should give him that invitation."

"Yeah Rem, I've spent a lot of time with the Massassi this past year. I've got a few more barrels in the hold."

[Durasay Mixo]

Durasay took the drink as it was offered. It was... potent was an understatement. Still, he wasn't going to deny having a good time. He'd just have to pace himself.

He would mingle amongst the crowd, wandering as a social butterfly.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"I'll let him know," she nodded.

"Some people are a bit more prudish, Galen, but for some, swimwear is just another choice of fashion."

[Galen Sol]

He shrugged. "I can't say I've ever been the fashionable type."

[Arsele Girard]

"Don't get me wrong; Alderaanian opera is a beautiful art, Miss Vreysk. It just fits who I am less than something more personal. As for swimsuits... Well most public pools will kick you out if you're wearing nothing. Or even your underwear, even if it covers equivalent. So, to me, it's an excuse to wear as little as possible and not get arrested."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Fair enough," Shaisha chuckled. Her own preferences for singing was with the more classical works, but... maybe she'd try something else in the future. Find her own thing or something.

"I would like the chance to hear your performance sometime, nevertheless. Music is an interest of mine."
