A tale ...

[Juztyn]

Hahna stepped out of the Bathroom just as Devin finished his conversation on the comlink, he yelled out the plan to her before turning to look. Hahna noticed Devin stop, jump, and look her over twice. She didn't blame him. It was amazing what a little water could do to someone. Hahna's face are arms were scrubbed clean, free of the dust, grit, and dirt that had clogged them since they'd met. Her hair was combed clean and tied back in a short ponytale, and her shirt and pants were almost free of dust. She had a light pack over her left shoulder, and a heavy blaster strapped to her right thigh. She knew she looked both roguish and stunning, and she smiled.

 

"C'mon, Devin. Get yourself cleaned up and let's grab a meal. It'll be getting dark in a few hours, we can head out to Gol'tar's then." She stopped, evaluating his stare, "Until then, I'd like to get to know the man I'm working with a bit better."

*Garik had brought the suplies back to the ship. The ship was loaded up for whole month. he said to his crew he wanted to check somethings out first. But he realy went out for a drink and something to eat. He was dead tired of the whole day. as he walked on threw the streets of Mos Eisly. it was getting dark. Later that night he would set someones house on fire. he grimly smiled at that thought. wel that someone diservered it.

He walked around a corner. he entered a small eating cafe.*

[Com Raven]

"Cleaned up ? You mean I look as dirty as you do ? Heh, just a little joke. I'll be ready in a minute or two"

 

Devin disappeared into the bathroom, where underwent the most thorough cleaning since he arrived on this dirthole. Hell, how he missed coruscant. Seeing the city at night was stunning, and while he had never considered that possible, he missed that view.

 

"K, I just need some new, clean shirt, adn I am ready to rock this town", he announced as he left he bath room, upper torso exposed.

"So, where you wanna eat today? I need my good one, or just the everyday dirty dustbowl one?"

[Juztyn]

(I sure hope you meant 'as you did', I Hahna might just be terribly insulted and shoot you. )

 

Hahna smiled. Devin certainly was attractive, and for half a second she almost suggested they stay in rather then going out. She didn't let the thought get to her lips, and fought hard to extinquish it in her head. What was she thinking? They had a job to be, and while 'playing' might be fun, it certainly wouldn't get that job finished.

 

"I don't think any 'respectable' establishments will serve people armed to the teeth," Hahna said, tossing Devin a blaster and picking up a backpack filled with extra power-cells. "Besides, I'm not exactly dressed for one."

 

She watched Devin pull on a shirt that, in her world, would be good enough for a classy joint. Obviously there was money behind the man.. Hahna could use some money. She blinked as he stood and smiled at her, then smiled back, passing him the pack filled with extra ammo.

 

"Let's find someplace shady to sit and grab a bite to eat. In an hour, we'll find ourselves a speeder and do a run on Gol'Tar's place."

(OOC: im joining in here as one of the crimson mercenaries Commandoes im joining in where i think it seems fit. this is star wars galaxies role playing so i presume Crimson Mercenaries stand here.)

 

 

Thiris walks up to the door and knocks. He hears the voices from inside suddenly stop and fast silent footsteps rushing aorund. His commando hearing tells him that something has been brushed past or out of clothing like a pistol rubbing against his shirt.

 

'god bless the training' Thiris thinks to himself...

 

Thiris just decides to knock again. He can see a shadow block the light coming from underneath the door.

 

'They must be taking a look at me.' he thinks

 

Thiris looks to the left and then the right then the left again to check the coast is clear, then unzips his jacket to reveal Crimson Mercenaries sybol on his shirt. He hears the lock unlock. The door is open and he is greated by a blaster pointed at his head.

 

"Nice to meet you too!" Thiris says as he sees the person holding the blaster is female.

[Juztyn]

(general Galaxies, general Star Wars.. All those things . I have no idea who these mercenies of yours are, so you'd better explain them)

 

Hahna grabbed the stranger by his pocket and yanked him through the door, keeping the blaster pointed squarely at his head the entire time. The man collapsed onto the floor from the force of her push, and turned to look at them, frowning.

 

"Devin, search him..." she ordered, gesturing with her blaster.

 

Devin quickly removed a small blaster from the man's jacket, but couldn't find any other weapons. The man seemed to pale when his blaster was removed, but recovered quickly. No doubt a mercenary such as himself felt naked without a weapon. Hahna had recognized the emblem of the Crimson Mercenaries immediately, but was still confused as to what one was doing in Devin's room. She narrowed her eyes, and kept her blaster pointed at the stranger.

 

"Friend of yours?" She asked Devin without looking at him.

[CM_Third]

(OOC: http://www.crimsonmercenaries.net

 

Ravens clan which was for xwa now a bunch of games but will mainly going into Star Wars Galaxies, unless this is a different raven, then i have made a fool of myself... )

 

Rupsyd looked up, feeling embarressed that a strong commando like himself got pushed over for by a girl. Then being stripped of his weapon.

 

 

"Take it easy im a friend, Devin tell her im a friend... wait a minute whos Dev...?"

 

Thiris is silenced by a blaster pointed in his mouth. He rolls his eyes in the direction of 'devin' although Thiris knows him only as Raven.

[Wraith 8]

*Garik sits in a dark booth in the cafe. the serving droid came along.*

 

I will have some Gnort ribs. and give me euh.. some Sluissi Ale please.

 

*The Droid complied and went off. Garik looked around. he saw some people eat. and then he saw aome folks with a patch on they're sholders. he knew that patch from somewhere. Some where in the past. where he mett Devin.*

[Com Raven]

[i was in a XWA clan for a few weeks, named IIS, Imperial Inteligence Squadron...]

 

"Uhh, it sems I am making new friends all day. In fact, you are my third old new best friend this day. Nice quote. Although it may be I saw you once. I suggest you get up and tell us what brought you here.

And move slowly, if dear Hahna here is in rage, I won't try to help you, but stay as far outta her way as possible...."

 

Devin loved the good old game of good guy and bad guy, and fortunately Hahna's powerful blow to the ground predestined her for the bad guy role...

[CM_Third]

thiris gets to his feet and brushes his hair back with his hands. He looks at hanha for a second then changes his mind and turns to Devin.

 

"I was here on a mission, as a crimson mercenary we 'play' for the highest bidder. Although i never treat it as a game. I liked it hear so i thought i would stay a few days longer."

 

He looks back at hanha for a second, then changes his mind again and turns back to devin.

 

"Anyway, i was talking to a few of the 'locals' and they said 'Raven' was here. This shocked me because i didnt think he would venture this far out without telling his lead commandoes...

Anyway i thought they meant the Crimson Mercenaries Raven, and i checked with the local spies where he went. But now i realise i must of been mistaken."

 

Silence for a moment

 

"But by the look of how over protective she is it looks like soemthing might be going down here. Do you want hired help? You never know it might end up being a favour for my mistake. But at least you know now that people know your here so it would be smart to move on."

 

Devin and hanha face each other.

 

"If you need a decoy, maybe stall the local 'troops' i can do that."

 

silence...

 

"Or if you want me to move along i can do that to. but dont worry i wont tell a soul."

[Com Raven]

Devin grinned at this strange guest.

"Oh, I am pretty sure you wouldn't be telling anyone anything if Hahna thinks she doesn't like you. What do you think ?We might use him, or consider him a enemy ??"

[Juztyn]

Hahna kept her face emotionless as the pulled Devin aside and leaned close to whisper, so their guest could not hear.

 

"These mercenary types are a bad group to get mixed up with, Devin." She pointed out. "We're in enough trouble with crime-lords already, we don't need these thugs on our tail for grouping with the wrong side of a mercenary conflict."

 

Devin nodded, waiting for her to finish. She glanced over at their guest, who had moved over against the wall and was resting against it. He noticed Hahna looking and her a dashing smile. She glared, nudging her blaster in his direction. The mercenary's grin faded.

 

"But," Hahna continued, "We can use all the help we can get." She frowned at the deja-vu, "We should take him along, if for no other reason then to make sure he doesn't turn us in."

 

Devin looked like he was going to object, but Hahna gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and said, "Trust me."

 

She turned to face the mercenary and gestured. "Get up." She threw him his own blaster, which he caught nimbly. "You're coming with us."

 

She switched over to Devin, who was obviously still trying to figure out her kiss, and grinned as if she was enjoying dragging more people into their problems. "Lead the way, Devin."

[CM_Third]

Thiris flicks a switch or two on the blaster and a small humming is made while the blasters energy is powered back up. He places it inside his jacket and zips his jacket up to once again be a 'nobody' walking around on the streets. He follows closely as the last thing he wants is 2 people turning on him to kill him.

 

"Im ready when you are" he says but hanha just turns and stares at him like hes some sort of idiot.

 

"Just thought you might like to know im not the leader of an elite group of commandoes for nuthin!"

 

They stare back at him

 

" And i just dont tell that to any old person"

 

he stops and waits for them to keep moving.

[Wraith 8]

((OOC: CM_Third, how many people are there in your group))

 

*Garik is eating his Gnort ribs. but he also keeps an i on the people who are in the cafe. there ia this man looking at him. Garik glances for a second and lookes on... so the man would not realize he was staring. he drinks his ale.*

[CM_Third]

OOC: In CM or in my group of commandoes? im by myself on the planet but if needed i can call 5 or 6 commandoes in. In CM i think there are 30 odd

[Com Raven]

"So I guess we still go out and grab some food before work starts.

 

Hey you, Crimson guy, you wouldn't come to know a nice, romantic restaurant ?"

[CM_Third]

"Hmmmm"

 

Thiris thinks for a while after all he has enjoyed some fine delicasies(sp?) on this planet.

 

He turns to face devin and hanha

 

"Theres a great Mon Calamari sea food resteraunt. Great food, nice people, and its a nicely lit place. Ill take you to it if you like."

 

thiris stops before the door...

 

"One more thing, if you want a good distraction i can get my commandoes here in half a day. That is if you want a distraction that actually seems like the main attack. "

[Juztyn]

Hahna smiled sweetly and glanced at Devin.

 

"No, that's okay, I think we have a fairly good distraction already." She stopped outside the door and checked the hallway. "Besides, half a day is a long time when you have the problems we have."

 

She saw the mercenary's eyebrows raise at the comment, and motioned to him with one hand, grabbing Devin's shirt and tugging him along with the other, "Lead the way, then, Thiris."

[Wraith 8]

*He was finished with his Gnort ribs and drank his Sluisi ale. he stood up and walked to the counter to pay. the man in the corner watched him closely. He paid for his dinner and walked out of the restaurant. he quickly turned a coner and ran away. he ducked behind another corner and looked back. The man who was watching him cam running and stood for the crossroad. he thought over his ways to walk to find Garik again. and then he went straight on leaving the alley Garik hid in behind him. Garik let out a sigh. 'i got to get out of here' he walked on and suspicously looked behind and around him. no one in sight. than a couple of meters ahead out of the IMPERIAL hotel Hahna, Devin and a third person walked out. they didnt see him. and Garik didnt want to be seen. he looked fro a distance to see where they would go.*

[CM_Third]

" AS you wish"

 

Thiris leads hanha and devin to a backstreet, he looks at their faces to see they are getting 'worried' that i might be a set up.

 

"Dont worry this is the worst part of the resteraunt, the back alley. I is just a shortcut."

 

Thiris hten takes them out of the alley and they are next to a large resteraunt, when look inside you can see the plush seating and trees made from the finest kashyyyk wood. Worth alot. Thiris notices that alot of couples are in there. The only downside is the ceedy bar on the otherside which sometimes people interupt your dinner. Stormtroopers patrol past here often because of it.

 

"Ive made a few contacts on my stay, ill get you to the best seat in the house."

 

Hanha and Devin just look at each other. They walk in and the resteraunt manager, a Dark skinned mon calamarian walks in quickly to great him, shaking his hand.

 

"Table for 3?" the the manager asked

 

Thiris once again looks around at devin and hanha and they nod.

 

"Yes please, and ide like the usual spot thanks."

 

They walk to a table for 2 which is near a window overlooking a garden outside and a fish tank behind them on the otherside. A 3rd dinner setting is placed on the table.

 

"Devin, Hanha im just going to... check up on some old friends who play sabaac here, they owe me some money and havent payed up. You can 'escort' me if you wish but it might get ugly and wouldnt want to ruin your 'date' ok?."

 

(ooc:RP me walking off around a corner after you have said anything to me you want.)

[Juztyn]

Hahna raised her eyebrows suspiciously, but said nothing. She glanced at Devin, then back at the mercenary.

 

"It's 1700 hours right now.. We'll head out at 1830. Be back by then, or don't show your face again." Her hand fell to her blaster, which because they had come in through the back, had not been confiscated. "Or else."

 

She smiled sweet sarcasm, and turned to Devin. "Anything else to add?"

[Com Raven]

"Sure, why, I am pretty sure he got the finer details of your message to him...

And now we can enjoy as romantic a dinner as possible on our, uhmm, most beloved dirtbowl...

 

As usual, don't take any offense from it...

 

Just come back here when you are done, merc guy"

[CM_Third]

"Ok, dont worry ill be back in an hour tops, that should be enough time for you to. Ill even wait outside if you really want me to after."

 

Thiris turns to walk backwards, and then turns around again.

 

"Trust me this place is the finest, i know its wierd avin a seafood on tatooine but its a rare delicassy, and quite expensive though."

 

Thiris turns and walks around the corner. He stops at the manager

 

"make sure they get the best service possible, my life could rely on it!" as he slips the manager 100 truggets. "i gotta take care of some buisness 'out back.'"

 

The manager nods and warns him that a rowdy group are in there today. Thiris walks into the bar and from a dark table in the background 5 beings turn to watch Thiris. Thiris walks up to the bar...

 

"One bantha burger please"

 

he sits on the bar stool and turns around sipping at a water looking but as if not loking at the 4 beings who were disturbed from their card game when he entered...

 

(OOC: this iwll be me fightin with some NPC's, this is for time for wraith to do his spying and for devin and hanha to talk without me in there presence. This fighting is what my character is like, they way he approaches and stuff... cheers.)

[Juztyn]

Hahna couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in wake of all the non-humans, so she tried to shut them out of her mind. She stared off at the departing Thiris, then turned her attention back to Devin.

 

"So, Devin..." She said, "What brings you out to this dusty sleaze bowl?" She fumbled with her ponytail as the waiter dropped off their menus, then stared at Devin expectantly.

[CM_Third]

The four men from the corner stand up. Thiris keeps the glass up near his mouth and watches them, 2 humans a Gran and a twi'lek.

 

Thiris skulls the rest of the water slams the glass down and walks over to them. One of the humans steps fowards while Thiris watches him.

 

Thiris: " G'day boys, it was pay day 4 days ag have you got my money?"

 

1st Human: No we dont, and were starting to think if we should pay you!

 

Thiris looks away in disgust then looks back

 

Thiris: whys that?

 

1st Human: Because we would prefer to kill yo <choke>

 

At the instant of the word kill thiris reaches out and grabs the human by the throat. He looks him in the eye,

 

Thiris: i dont think you should do that, i think you would be much better off paying me.

 

The human spits on him as the Twi'lek draws his weapon. Thiris pulls the 1st human into the way of the twi'leks shot and Thiris lets go and the human falls to the ground. Revealing Thiris' blaster primed in hand, he shoots the Twi'lek then dives over a table pulling it down as cover.

 

The Gran and the Human duck behind tables each. Thiris fires a shot blindly by sticking his hand around the corner and shooting. A shot is returned that hits the table causing a whole to form near his head. Thiris sees the trouble and jumps up and runs getting lasers shot at him (in the hero style of just misses) he dives over the bar. The bartender and all the other patrons have ran off or ducked for cover. Thiris new this meant troopers would be here soon. Thiris got up and looked thorugh slits in the bar. Both of them were up. Thiris grabbed glass and threw it over the other side of the room, the thugs duck and Thiris gets up and dives over the bar shooting the Human once in the chest downing him for good.

 

Thiris grabs the humans laser and uses his legs to kick out the table which was protecting him. He jumps up and points the lasers right in the grans face. But to Thiris' surprise the gran has a thermal detonator out and primed in his hand. Thiris has two options, run or try and kill the gran without the detonator going off.

 

Sounds of stamping feet are heard from outside and stormtrooper voices to go with it. Thiris thinks quick and throws down his weapons. The Gran laughs at him and blinks his three eyes at thiris. Thiris laughs back as 5 stormtroopers rush in weapons ready to fire at the gran as Thiris is acting like a hostage. The gran throws the detonator at the stormtroopers as thiris rolls picks up his laser and fires it at the gran knocking him to the ground

 

Thiris: I think the emporers men will have something better planned for you.

 

The remaining stormtroopers tell thiris to grab his things and move along. Thiris walks out of the room cool and collected. Looking around to see a few people walking along but one person in the distance standing still, to hard to see if he/she was looking in this direction as he walks the long way to the Mon Calamari resteraunt.

 

(ooc: You keep talking and then when your read Role play me walking back to the table )
