Time Thief
Seto Du Couteau
Location: Cinnagar, Empress Teta
Action: Host a Party in a fellow's Noble's Castle to catch a doppelganger
Attire
Chaos was never a word that Seto used to describe his life, if anything he often took many great lengths for the opposite to happen. Order, rules and fashion were things he lived by, things he used and as well twist to his liking. Nobles loved old orders of decorum and regal traditions, the young Du Couteau heir enjoyed how easily many Nobles would follow such strict dogma to their very graves. And rules, such as with the Alliance Senate, it was a common enough saying that laws were meant to be broken, but Seto believed laws were there to make one find a way around them.
Just as tailors pick through threads and manipulate the fabrics with their hands, so do we of the Senate work the laws in similar fashion.
Seto sighed though, his exasperation was evident on his face as his hands rubbed his forehead to abate the incoming headache. Someone, or Someones, have been making a mess with several Nobles and Higher Class persons through body doubles. Normally Seto would regulate this type of crime to the authorities and let them handle it. But. But the young Du Couteau heir had been fooled himself by these doppelgangers and that it had transpired to some minor headaches the next day’s business.
While he was highly amused about it all, it presented a threat to his person that simply could not be brushed away. It questioned his ability tell the difference between a real person and the possible fake. Though a tad interesting that I couldn’t, not too too dangerous. Seto drummed along his desk with his left hand as he thought about it, his fingers tapped rhythmically as he focused on his next plan of action. The gears in his head began to turn to set up a potential trap, I just need to grab one of these doppelgangers and from there figure out their end goal.
He had enough chaotic elements in life from the war with zealots of the Maw, and the ever growing beating of the war drums from the Imperial and Alliance border. Seto hoped he could finish this particular issue from his plate.
If the Senate ever grew too tiresome for Seto, the Noble life would easily fill up his empty schedule due to the sheer amount of parties and galas he needed to attend or even host. And at the moment Seto was standing by the large balcony watching the crowds of nobles milling through the mansion. Castle I mean. Seto chuckled, remembering the host’s indignation when he had asked to use his Castle and mistaken it for a mansion. It paid being the Senator in this case since the Noble didn't just shoo him off the property or threw him in the dungeon for being so rude.
Never would have I imagined in a million life times that I would need to apologize to a building. Seto wearily mused to himself.
The guest list was quite massive, and the invitations had allowed each guest to bring three others with them if they wished. The Nobles of Teta wasted no time to bring as many famous celebrities and other Nobles from off planet to attend a party organized by the Senator Du Couteau. There was to be a special announcement near the end of the night as well.
An exclusive and special announcement for the ears of those invited only. Seto grinned at his own reflection in his cup. If there were a chance to capture just one of these dopplegangers, no doubt these criminals would not miss this opportunity. Large number of people, perfect to blend and escape notice if needed. And most importantly a lax and overwhelmed security detail to easily fool to gain entrance.
Seto breathed evenly, his Force senses stretched around him and he mentally prepared himself to embrace the miasma of strong emotions. The crowd of Nobles filled to the brim with pride, ego and ignorance that could easily cloud a Padawan’s senses through the Force. The young Du Couteau heir stepped away from the balcony’s rail and headed into the grand hall.
“Only a thousand faces to search through, not at all unfeasible. Not. At. All.”
