A New Pirate Lord (Nai' Frerstal)

[Payback]

Payback walked through the streets of Nar Shadaa, wearing his armor. He had his Ripper in a holster on his right hip, with a D-1 pistol strapped to his left. He walked into a seedy cantina, out of the acidic rain. As soon as he took his helmet off, the odor hit him. It was that of unwashed pilots mixed with food mixed with alcohol. Some music was playing in the background faintly as he walked up to the bar and ordered a glass of water.

[Nai' Frerstal]

Leaning back in black, grimy chair, was the Barabel crime lord Nai' Frerstal. He had been called to this bar under dubious reasons from an anonymous source, so his left hand lay rested on the rifle strapped to his back. He watched a man walk into the bar, clearly brandishing his weapons and wearing high quality armor. ' Soo...He wants to get robbed. ' Nai thought to himself, as he straightened himself, watching the man with curiosity.

Payback saw his contact, a large lizard with a rifle sitting in a chair. He clipped his helmet to his belt and rested his right hand on his Ripper, ready to put a hole in the man if he needed to. "You must be Nai" He said in a rough tone, watching the man and studying him for any sign of a setup. With his body alterations, he could dispatch the barabel within a tenth of a second if he needed to

The Barabel squinted, as he analyzed the man. Seeing his flashy armor, he knew that if he got into a scuffle, it would be a tough fight, but Nai thought he would have the edge. Experience, powerful weapons, and the toughest scales in the galaxy with a thick layer of fat proved it would be hard to hurt him. The man thought Payback looked cocky, wearing flashy armor and brandishing weapons could do that to man. He swung himself up, as he addressed the man. " And...Who the Kark are you?"

"I go by one name, Payback. You can also call me King, as I am the head of the Pirate Confederation. If what I heard about you is true, I'd like you to join us." As he said this, he smiled slightly. It was odd for him to smile, but he had observed that it was common for humanoids to do. He knew the reputation of barabels, and this one could be very useful. Very useful indeed. Not reaching out a hand, he only offered a nod of recognition

Nai' Frerstal frowned at Payback's last comment, as he put his hands on the table. " No way in kriff am I calling you King. " He told [member=Payback] in a menacing and reptilian voice. " Look, it'sss nice and all you have your Confederation, but I would rather attack the Vornskr than call you king!" The Barabel stared down the Weequay with a menacing glare, eyeing the man with a hint of anger.

 

[Payback]

Payback gave a nod, he never expected the barabel to call him king, it was more of a test than anything. If he would immediately call a stranger king then he could easily be manipulated. This one was strong, a good quality. Perhaps he had earned the right for a hand shake. "Good, you've passed test one. Would you be interested in a.. position?" As he said this, he outstretched his arm, offering a handshake.

[Nai' Frerstal]

The Barabel scowled, as he stared at [member=Payback]. " So lemme' git' this straight. You're expecting me to join, with no information, expecting me to call you king, and the only thing goin' for ya' is the fact that you called me 'strong.' What the kriff?" Nai' Frerstal told Payback with some anger. The man was getting on his nerves, as he thought the Weequay was wasting his time.

 

[Payback]

"Here's the information you need." As he said this he handed a folder to Nai detailing his duties as a pirate lord, including the man power he would command. "And you do not need to call me king, it's optional. Now if you care to reject my offer you are free to walk out. Make no mistake, what I offer you is better than whatever your current employment is. And the pay is substantial. I've heard of you. What you've done. You're the perfect one for this position"
