Nightshade

She looked at her with a small frown. "Perhaps but ruling the galaxy is a chore and honestly if I controlled it what would I do with it? Tens of thousands of planets inhabited, millions of moons and everything that could be time consuming. THis little planet, this systems would be more then enough and use everything we have built up to have the lifeblood of the galaxy come here. Commerce, trade, potential colonies but being practical about it. I dislike the sith who want the galaxy under their thumb but can barely handle a small group of students and keeping them in line." SHe finished eating though and had her interest on a couple of things now. "Lets see what we can come up with though. Nightshade is built for you and we can fill it in with whatever you would like."

 

[Elise Ike]

For a sith lord Sawa was quite reasonable, but after several thousand the power grabbing mind control the dark side had seemed to go away. "Eh I can understand your hesitation behind not wanting to rule the galaxy, but sooner of later some new empire or republic will always take it's place if no one else does". "Perhaps some council of vampires that rule over individual sectors of the galaxy would be a more believable goal, not that I care, to be honest I like the way I live now, no real responsibilities anymore". She just got to go around and do what she loved without being interrupted by some lousy higher up.

"Perhaps, I'll settle for making sure we are powerful and longer lasting throughout the history." A smirk was on her face though as she rose up and began to walk with the battlements of the fortress itself looking over the village. Where she could see it and the Onna were all prepared going around. Sawa herself though presented some parts of it when she started walking around a garden, then lower into a small courtyard with a speeder able to take the two of them to the village in the mountains. Sawa sat there for a moment as she pointed into the distance and the mountain passes itself showed them a trail and statues. "Have you gone to the family palace since you have returned? Paid your respects in the crypts."

 

[Elise Ike]

“You make spyurself sound like one of those clan leaders from before the unification wars grandmother, perhaps age is finally catching up with you”. Elise remarked in a slightly humorous tone as she followed the ancient being through the fortress, eyes looking at how much had change and what had not. “The family palace? No not yet, I made it a first to come here and avoid and possible altercations before roaming around the planet”. “I’d rather not have your cute little spy’s watch me bath while on world, it’s kind of creepy”, even if she knew most held no ill intentions in mind.

She looked at her. "We are one of the few clans that have existed and were strong before the unification wars. We have survived and been here since some of the ancient spcies int he galaxy." THere was a look though while she walked and coming out of the room itself to watch them, her soldiers were moving around. Sawa looked at Elise though while she stood there. "Oh you never know, spying can only do so much but why would you think I would worry about you? Yes you can be a thorn Elise but you are young sweetling, you are learning and you have grown enough to figure out a few things I hope. That family, this family comes first and foremost."

 

[Elise Ike]

“Hmmm I guess but does our vampire heritage not go back that far? We were but a regular clan before you were turned into what we are now were you not”? Even with very good inherited memory recollection after so many years in isolation and away from the family even she forgot some things, not that it was per omen, just a small spark was all she needed to get back into th grove of things. “Well you know what they say, a rose has many thorns p, though I will take the as a compliment, at least I was able to piss you off some what”. “But yes, I was young rash and had yet to find something I liked, guess I just lashed out without really considering my options on the whole matter, a small goal I have sought to accomplish over the last few centuries”.

"Yes we are young compared to the line of our family.. that we have lived as long to see it change only shows we have something of a unique perspective to share if need be but it also means we can ensure our family thrives compared to others. We aren't good, I know I enjoy being wicked and using the darkside but that doesn't mean I am going to forsake family just to be selfish. We become stronger and eventually perhaps continue to branch out." She walked though and leading the way down the stairs as at the bottom was the village with its people, Onna guards yes but they were not wanting for anything. Food was plentiful, water, medicine, materials to build... Sawa didn't deny them it but she also enforced upon them as she walked past and they bowed to her on one knee. Heads low and silent until she had past and allowed them to rise up. "The more our family grows the more we gain advantages as well, newer technology, new equipment, new information... everything to ensure that we will always be at the top."

 

[Elise Ike]

"Good bad, is there really any one definition, though being followers of Sith teaching and apart of a race that preys upon mortals, one may say it is natural for us to be a little evil". One could probably say the same for humans and aliens that hunt animals, keeping them in pens and eventually killing them for food, to those wild beasts the sentient beings would be wicked, no? "Still it is kind of strange when you think about it, that our connection to Atrsia and it's culture is what we put forth over the use of the force and the dark side, I wonder what other sorts of sects would come about if those wanting to use the dark side practiced our ways". Most not if all that became Sith blindly followed it's teachings, throwing away any connection they had to past family or life. "New technology? I could use some of that, my rather small estate is in nee of a major work over if I was to give it a good look around, perhaps I'll bite some people from Naboo and make them my personal gardeners". With her constant travels abroad Elise did not have much time to do maintenance on the house, often she'd come home to find over grown weeds, grass and vines.

She looked at her and they had arrived, the building was just that a large building. Converted from an older warehouse itself in the area. The exterior large and doors converted to make a guarded walkway of an opening. Guards for now that were Sawa's but they were only there until replacements were given as the doors opened. THick ebony wood with bone white emblems of their clan on it. The dragon circling around and chasing its own tail with wings before the doors opened itno the sound of music being tested. Lights and the entryway with a booth where the bouncer was. Dark skinned and muscled with tattoo's and a ponytail.

"Ah Soledad." Sawa looked up at her and she was a beast of a female but her job was to keep the peace as she stood there towering over Sawa and Elise with a stunner on her hip and black gloves over her hands. The security team who was there moving around and setting up equipment and scanners for weapons, filters in case someone tries to spike pheromones and remove some choice. The main dance floor had a large wrap around bar with lines of bottles from across the galaxy for alcohol. THere was two other smaller ones for more special blends and drinks that you could get and a place to order some food as the bat wasn't made to be a table.

The tables around the dance floor were spaced out enough to move around and had the raised platform of the dance floor that was visible from all angles. Along the back of the warehouse was a wall and staircase that led up to the second level and the VIP section of the club with the office overlooking from a large window. The vip section with love seats, couches and cushions that are set up. Sawa walked around while she was looking over it and leading the way through so they could explain it. Sawa was looking at the office and she sat behind the bone table, carved into be a desk with ebony shelfs behind and marble flooring and walls.

"Grandmother, you should have told me we were going to a strip club today, I'd have worn somthing besides my buiness clothes", Elise dressed in the usual white shirt and black pants, not very club feindly attire in her mind. "Though I guess it is a nice touch to the place, I am guessing you get up to all sorts of fun with the girls here"? Her asked with a small smirk. Even if Sawa was more mature the women did have her own way of having fun, and though she was not man eater like herself from what the servents said last night the women were not off limits."So, are we hear to watch some show? or is this just you showing off your domain" she remarked while walking up the stairs, gazing out the window this place certainly seemed new, and quite large, was this were the family funding was going? Not what she expected at all, coming to the officer Elis remained standing, crossing her arms while awaiting her older relatives words

She looked at her with a look on her face as she sat there pulling up some fo the screens for Elise to see when she had a grin on her face. "Well this is to show off but this is what I was talking about, it is a club in the night to attract the young and virile... but during the day it serves as a tea house with the older atrisian crowds." Sawa said it while she was sitting there and the dancers. "Though of course the club aspect caters to a specific crowd, I was not certain at first but with the few here it has become a haven for teenagers wanting an escape and for some of the others who wish to avoid the first order or anyone else. Much like Pandamonia it is neutral ground for many."

 

[Elise Ike]

That didn't sound shady at all, to be honest such a practice would probably get a lot of bad press if it was on another planet, "soo is the night life thing a secret? or do all the old grannies know that the seat they are currently using may or may not have had puke on it a few hours ago"? Once more she could just imagine the lawsuits, unless they had some plan in the works to prevent those coming here from knowing about the other things that went on. "A place for people to escape? is this from the sudden First Order take over and subsequent new rules? if so I could see such a thing driving a few people into a club like this to get away from it all and just have fun".

She looked at her with more amusement on her face and in her eyes while motioning with a hand as one of the serving girls opened a wall container. Sliding it back to reveal the different chairs and pillows. "If they know or they don't it a good question but we are not going to just have risk for the sake of it. I'd rather just pay a little extra and change things out." SHe shrugged though while walking and bringing up some of the information on a screen for Elise. "Besides, night crowds rarely sit down around here, there are more on the dance floor or at the bar where they stand up to create a constant flow of people." The grin was back though seeing a few of the servers who walked by and the floor had small platforms rising up off of it that some of the dancers were testing to find the best place to not rock them and still be able to dance.

"Well you certainly are a craft one, though a few thousand years and family members trying to stab you in the back probably help sharpen your wit a little one would guess". Still it was rather, how could you say, funny to think about some old mortals reaction if they did find out the place they had tea and spent time was a hub for night club dancers, probably give some of them heart attacks. "Also, I know you yourself are a party person, but when did you make such a place, and what gave you the idea? or is this more a way to expand your little underworld empire and credit making enterprise to keep your little mountain fortress hidden and well funded". Even if half the staff were just blood slaves and willing workers, they still needed to be fed and well kept, then their was the power issue and other amenities, not exactly the most inexpensive thing to have running, less so in secret.

"There comes a time my sweet Elise when even we get tired of scrimping and clawing for everything." She said it while looking and brought up some information. "Why go job to job trying to get credits... invest, make the credits work and grow for you. Build up enterprises and have them expand across the world... they work here for me, live comfortably and so it makes them loyal. My influence spreads and I can keep my own things going... my own projects and renovations of oh so many things. This club, a tea house, there is a school that I have been working to try and fix up. getting so many other things that we might be able to get across the planet and move on to some of the colonies."

 

[Elise Ike]

"Well at least you are living well, can't say the same things going for me, I kind of roam around and do archaeology like stuff, some people like my work and pay me for it though half the time I am doing it for my own personal gain". "Heck my current house even though it can be considered quite the sizable manor is still not very well up to scratch and needs quite the care taking, perhaps I should search for a few slaves of my own to help around", still it wasn't all choice. Her main reason fore living life like a regular person in slight poverty was to remain hidden from the galactic eyes, to keep out of the Sith Empires hand and do her own thing, and most of all recover from her battle wounds with Sawa.

Sawa moved over towards her and stood there looking at her with a grin on her face. Tight lipped, silvery eyes gleaming in the light as one hand came up and touched as her hair. "Oh my sweet child, do not worry... we shall see that you are happy and healthy.. with plenty of slaves if that is what you wish." Sawa said it as she moved and at down looking at it and someone entered the room. Pale skinned, atrisian and thin but she was also standing there confident when she walked over and looked at the two of them. "Master we are going to have to try and find a replacement for Natsuo tonight.. her family was ousted trying to aid Mythos return or what is the third time... whatever... she was caught in the crossfire beteen the attack and is in one of the hospitals." Sawa sneered and tapped a finger. "Very well, contact some of the more provacative preformers from leather and lace night. See if they want to make some extra credits." She got a nod and the girl was off while Sawa was moving and sat down. "Another thing to be good with is if you want to attract crowds... I do enjoy some fo the good theme nights... we did a jedi girls night and while no jedi really showed up everyone came in their favorite costumes."

 

[Elise Ike]

Yeap, Sawa was still creepy, that the was grandmother she knew so well, almost a personification of the seducing part of the darkside. "I am happy, I just would like a little help around the mansion, as you said, lusting for power and wealth can become boring after so long, my work at least is new and allows me to see different things". Still she didn't mind some luxury, it would be nice to have some fancy retreat to go to when tired and looking for fun, and she was certain Sawa was able to part with a good amount of things to make her life more enjoyable.

The small conversation s interrupted by one of said slaves, Elise cocking her eye brow at the mention of Mythos, looking to her grandmother with a 'you have to be kidding me, again' face. "That man is persistent if anything, tell me he is dead or at least so badly butt hurt he is never coming back", she joked as the slave walked away with the new instructions. "A Jedi night, do tell me, how many people dressed up as Ahsoka? I for one would not mind a nice little Togruta slave to have on hand, something about their horns are just so appealing".

Looking at her as she spoke. "I am no certain about that.. everytime he seems to be gone and the world recovering he pops back up attempting to claim power.... then disappears and we deal with whatever mass conversion he does." She said it while she was looking there though when she grinned wider. "A few, the likes of Ahsoka and Aalya Secura are very popular." She shrugged though while she was watching it and they would be able to get plenty before motioning for Elise to come around. "BUt come now... you'll have the run of the place and you can find your own little Ahsoka cosplayer to take home for whatever purposes you want to have."
