Faction How Do YOU Pronounce Hapes? [Black Sun and friends]

[Deagan Hunt]

TALLIFAX INN — A HAUNT OF SPACERS AND SMUGGLERS
KWENN STATION

Meanwhile, Deagan overheard the conversation between the pretty blonde princess Quinn Varanin and the scoundrel Nej Tane propositioning the blondie to see if she was worth the expense.

Oh. Oh this will be good.

Was this another Lady of the Night? Either way, Deagan fed off the emotions and vibes like they were candy, and right now, as he popped another cheese curd into his mouth, he was drinking it in.

Ooo, so what will happen next?

 

[Nej Tane]

"If you have to ask, then you can't afford."

"All I'm hearing is that you pay for our first date." He said, eyeing her up and down, blatantly.

Searching for jewelry to snatch off later, if the inclination called.

 

[Jerec Asyr]

Ooo, so what will happen next?

Jerec and his new drink settled down next to Deagan Hunt. The Zeltron looked familiar but he couldn't say why.

"Y'know, normally I'm not wild about slumming princesses as entertainment, but I'm kind of seeing the point here. Lot to recommend it."

 

[Quinn Varanin]

Was this another Lady of the Night? Either way, Deagan fed off the emotions and vibes like they were candy, and right now, as he popped another cheese curd into his mouth, he was drinking it in.

Quinn would have no idea what a Lady of the Night was. Poor Princess thinking she's being clever while she flirts.

"All I'm hearing is that you pay for our first date." He said, eyeing her up and down, blatantly.

Raising an eyebrow, Quinn wrinkled her nose and shook her head.

"Nope, I only pay when taking out a beautiful woman, not a scruffy nerf herder."

 

[Nej Tane]

"Nope, I only pay when taking out a beautiful woman, not a scruffy nerf herder."

Nej looked a little hurt.

"That was kinda mean. I hope you have a bad day tomorrow."

He stood up to leave.

 

[Deagan Hunt]

"Y'know, normally I'm not wild about slumming princesses as entertainment, but I'm kind of seeing the point here. Lot to recommend it."

Deagan flashed a devious grin at the Ithorian, thick brows arching up high in a quick rise and lift of his chin in acknowledgement. He leaned in conspiratorially.

"Oh they got their value alright -- just that sometimes that requires earplugs," he joked, offering the Ithorian the poutine medley of curds, gravy, and strips of deep fried tubers.

"Course this one... ohhhh, what I'm getting off that one makes her spicy." He gave a broad grin. He then caught poor Nej Tane get rejected by Quinn Varanin .

"Oh, guess she was priced too high for his pockets!"

 

[Quinn Varanin]

Nej looked a little hurt.

"That was kinda mean. I hope you have a bad day tomorrow."

He stood up to leave.

As much as she hated the way he looked her up and down, she should have behaved. How unbecoming of a Princess. She grabbed his sleeve hoping to keep him sitting.

"Okay, I'm sorry." She smiled, "At least let me get you a drink?"

 

[Deagan Hunt]

"Okay, I'm sorry." She smiled, "At least let me get you a drink?"

A drop of his jaw in amusement sent the Zeltron panning his cobalt gaze at Jerec Asyr .

Oohhhh, this was good.

"Nevermind, he's back in business!"

 

[Jerec Asyr]

A drop of his jaw in amusement sent the Zeltron panning his cobalt gaze at Jerec Asyr .

Oohhhh, this was good.

"Nevermind, he's back in business!"

Jerec nodded sagely. "Always liked his odds. She's got hidden depths. Wants to be an event planner, you know."

 

[Deagan Hunt]

"Always liked his odds. She's got hidden depths. Wants to be an event planner, you know."

Now the scoundrel was deeply intrigued. For all his faults, the pilot loved to get the tea.

Gossip was gold around here, and if Lady in Red over there was the princess of Hidden Depths.. well...now.

Color him interested.

"An event planner.... are we talking she's gonna throw her own event?" so that kind of performance? He was impressed.

"With how many?"

 

[Mauve du Vain]

Another woman appeared by Nej Tane .

She wore a dress of carmine silk that clung to her just so, one hand fiddling with the golden chain links that made up one of the straps.

“Is the princess bothering you, Cowboy? You look…”

Lavender fingers lifted a cold coupe glass to her lips, tongue running across the salted rim before she let the liquor within dribble into her mouth. Plum lips curved into a smile.

“…thirsty.”

Nej Tane Quinn Varanin

 

[Jerec Asyr]

An event planner.... are we talking she's gonna throw her own event?" so that kind of performance? He was impressed.

"With how many?"

Jerec had not come so far in life — the galaxy's preeminent purveyor of the finest pre-owned vehicles and vessels — without a keen scent for innuendo. He scented it now.

"Alas, our negotiation didn't get far enough to say."

Which was actually the complete truth phrased in a completely true way.

 

[Quinn Varanin]

Quinn raised an eyebrow.

"Hi Mauve, I'm not bothering anyo--"

And as things unfolded , the Princess looked way and focused on her drink thinking she must really like salt on the rim type of drinks.

Nej Tane Mauve du Vain

 

[Deagan Hunt]

"Alas, our negotiation didn't get far enough to say."

"Oh, so our little Princess has a head for hagglin'. Well good for her. She knows her worth. I respect that." Deagan added, giving a nod and then a thumbs up at Quinn Varanin 's direction.

He took a sip of his beer, then his brows rose at the entrace of another Zeltron. Color him intrigued. Even as a full blooded Zeltron himself, he could sense something about Mauve du Vain .

"Oh look at that one... She's got that feth around and find out look about her. Definitely high on the crazy hot scale."

 

[Jerec Asyr]

She's got that feth around and find out look about her. Definitely high on the crazy hot scale."

"Look, friend, I don't want to be uncouth, but."

Jerec gave Deagan a look of great significance and left it at that. This was Black Sun territory and some things were better unsaid.

"Anyways I think you're backwards. If anyone's the professional it's the blond. He's got that seen it all look."

 

[Deagan Hunt]

"Anyways I think you're backwards. If anyone's the professional it's the blond. He's got that seen it all look."

Deagan didn't have to be told twice. The expression from Jerec told him alllll he needed to know.

"Huh, noted." he popped another cheese curd into his mouth and then swiveled his attention to Nej Tane .

A wag of one coral finger and added, "You know what. I see it. It's the hair. Classic tell."

 

[Jerec Asyr]

"You know what. I see it. It's the hair. Classic tell."

"For humanoids? Good to know. I'm thinking of this Barabel I knew in Cosm's Well once, his tail went all the way up." Jerec mulled this thoughtfully, watching the entertainment. "Hairless, you know, Barabels."

 

[Deagan Hunt]

"For humanoids? Good to know. I'm thinking of this Barabel I knew in Cosm's Well once, his tail went all the way up." Jerec mulled this thoughtfully, watching the entertainment. "Hairless, you know, Barabels."

"Re-eally?" Deagan arched a brow, very amused.

"Huh. Selonians, though," he added, giving another gesture of his hand in emphasis, "For all that fur, they are nimble."

A pause.

"But allergies make it difficult."

 

[Jerec Asyr]

"Re-eally?" Deagan arched a brow, very amused.

"Huh. Selonians, though," he added, giving another gesture of his hand in emphasis, "For all that fur, they are nimble."

A pause.

"But allergies make it difficult."

"Terrible stuff, allergies. Miserable." Jerec turned his full attention to Deagan. "Let me tell you about my ex-wife, Captain Silane. Knockout in a red dress, best in the business, present company not excepted. Xenomorphic rhak-skuri, black carapace." He sighed with loss and longing. "Hypoallergenic."

 

[Nej Tane]

"Okay, I'm sorry." She smiled, "At least let me get you a drink?"

"Two. I'm an expensive girl." He said, nail emoji nail emoji.

“…thirsty.”

Nej went silent for a while. Unable to speak, think, act, or really, do anything but stare at the Zeltron wonder before him. Waterfalls cascading down rocks, the moons intertwined above a desolate planet of cruel unending wastes of sand, formations of ice and fire in the stars above that a ship glided across, fell before her beauty like dominos.

"I am thirsty."
