[Day 1 - LE] Why Can't We be Friends... Continued

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Then you should definitely ask this person you've just mentioned." Moyr's smile faded. "Who is of no concern or worth to me. Who's the next on your list?"

[Nekoinu]

"As a word of advice: that tells me a lot already." The Zabrak shrugged. "Shaisha Vreysk and Kristal Serasai. They're all apparently great friends."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"I was not trying to conceal what it could tell you, my lord. I have no business with those two either, by extension. Most of what I would be able to tell about them leads back to what I wish to move on from." Moyr said calmly, but the positive atmosphere was gone.

[Nekoinu]

"How curious. I suppose I shouldn't be so surprised, though. Very well, let's move on. There's a Lord who ascended quite quickly, just like me. Lord Zeno Deathwright with those silly videos. I have to admit though, they are entertaining."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Silly videos? It looks like I am behind a little. I know Zeno, but our ways have diverged ever since he threw his lot with his current master. You surely are aware of the controversy surrounding her ascendance. Let's say I am on the alarmist side of this controversy."

[Nekoinu]

"I very much hope you don't find my ascension to be worth any alarm then. But yes, I am aware of Darth Zash and her reputation." She stayed silent for a few moments, lost in her own thoughts. "Jo'ren Rath. I heard he's quite capable in combat."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"He is, and he has a penchant for greatness. And he knows it, pursuing the path of Master Exar Kun. He defies easy classifications. We both share appreciation for the Massassi culture of Yavin IV. And their bloodwine." Moyr smiled a little.

[Nekoinu]

"Perhaps you may introduce me to him some day? He sounds marvelous. But alright, how about Remmington Thelalas? He's right over there, isn't he?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"If we're given an opportunity." Moyr agreed with a nod. "Him? Another outlier. I had no trouble with him, but some did. Felt eccentric, but not without some ingenuity. Outside of my interest still." She mused causally.

[Nekoinu]

"I see. Guess I'll have to talk to him too." Lord Ralnorrei paused again in reflection. "What about Jun-Tsu Farro then? I believe those two were fairly close."

[Cole Ormont]

Cole was still here. He was also somewhat tipsy from the open bar, slouching further against the cocktail table. At some point there had been a flurry of activity as someone clearly important - though he didn't recognise them - arrived. A glance around the room suggested that more than a few people had made their excuses and slipped away, and that the number of Republic members had dropped sharply.

"Humph," Cole pushes his cup across the table and waves a waitress over.


(( PM if approached ))

[Vec Gunnar]

Vec, who arrived later for the gathering, had indeed stuck around. Seeing as he was off-duty and there was plenty of refreshments around, there was enough of an excuse to stick around. After eyeing the offered refreshments for a good duration, he did eventually warm up to the idea and got himself something alcoholic. It had to be stark with some bite, of course. Nothing pleasant but at least he knew his poison of choice more intimately than to be blended into a cocktail.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Our paths hadn't crossed until we took part in the Massassi tribe war. The witch has a great rapport with the Dark Side, and she proved its lethality back then, defeating more Massassi then Jo'ren. That commands respect. But we haven't been close, so I don't know much of her private affairs."

[Nekoinu]

"Interesting. Now I want to meet her too but I can't say I've heard of her arrival. Speaking of non-arrivals, wasn't there a rodian among your class?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Perhaps. I vaguely remember her. Don't know what happened to her after graduation."

[Nekoinu]

Lord Ralnorrei shrugged. "Fair enough. I also heard that there were a couple students that went wayward. Rogue. However you want to call it. Anything you can tell me about them?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"One Nunki Malyna may have been a Jedi infiltrator all the time, so her defection did not surprise as much as that of Baesal Zyn. The latter has pained me, since the Togruta is very talented and I'd prefer the Empire to keep her. Especially that I know for a fact that she is not big on Jedi nonsense, but was looking for a favourable environment to work on her technical projects. We worked together a lot back on Korriban, and developed a rapport. The paths through the Force are convoluted sometimes. To facilitate her return to the Dark Side is a personal matter for me."

[Nekoinu]

The Zabrak blinked. "You really are honest. Nobody would come up with that on the fly. Anyways, you're telling me that we lost a talented technician because of, what, mistreatment by other Sith?" She shook her head. "That's a damn waste. I'd offer to help you sway her but I figure you'd know her better than I."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"I tell it to you for I assume you can understand it better than most. There is apparently only so much an ingenious xeno prodigy is willing to put up with racial prejudice. But she'll come around once she realises that it is their pacifistic gibberish that stiffens, and the Sith Code that enables." Moyr said with a small, firm smile. "She must still learn the lesson that the greatest obstacle to unbridled personal liberty is not the existence of evil regimes, but the deluded belief in the existence of good ones."

[Nekoinu]

"Some humor combined with real Sith philosophy. The 'Sith bakery' did well with you." Ralnorrei looked around at the party and then back to her conversation partner. "Kind of strange how everyone bailed, right? But I suppose that's not important."

A faint smile spread across her lips. "Well, I've barraged you with questions. There must be something you want to ask me in return."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Why the interest, my lord?" Moyr indeed had several. Her gaze followed the Zabrak's for a moment. "I don't complain. I don't like crowds."

[Nekoinu]

"I find it wise to account for other Sith. Surely you can appreciate that." Lord Ralnorrei shrugged. "Crowds are quite nice. You can watch people more easily and not get caught."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"To what purpose? Are you feeling threatened or are looking for associates for your personal agenda?"

[Remmington Thalalas]

Jin says, “I just had to show Serani all the best spots in town, guess we ran a little late. Oh I just love Vertica.”

Serani smiles and says, “I can’t believe you have been to all those places.”

“Honey they pay me to show up,” Jin adds with a smirk.

Remmington chuckles a bit. "You will have to excuse my ignorance but I do not know all the best spots in town as I just arrived earlier today."

He offers a smile and extends his hand to Jin. To Serani he offers a low bow instead. "A pleasure to meet miss, my lord. I am Remmington Thalalas of the former House Balmung."

[Nekoinu]

"To what purpose? Are you feeling threatened or are looking for associates for your personal agenda?"

The question was met with another shrug. "I always like to keep an eye on others. It helps to stay informed. Oh, and it doesn't really matter to me if you think it is due to fear or searching for help."
