Nightshade

[Elise Ike]

She just face palmed, her own little attack on Sawa's fortress was somewhat silly at least she wasn't dumb enough to try it over and over again with the same plan and expect different results. "I think we need to start a tally, all this is only within two decades, I wonder how many times he will attempt such invasions over the next few hundred years". Even if the man was not a vampire like them she was certain the Sith Lord would find a way to kept living, even if such a power just came from the shear will to take over Atrisia, even if it was never possible."My own place to run? that does sound kind of fun to be honest, are you giving me a place to keep tabs on"? You could never know with Sawa, but then again when you get to 5000 you tended to do strange things in order to keep yourself entertained.

Sawa looked at her, "You are getting this place and if you want well I am sure there is one of the larger estates in the mountains you could convince me to part with my sweet Elise." Sawa sat there though and motioned for her to join her in the one seat as she was looking out at the club and leaned back in the seat a little more producing from a drawer a small blade and piece of fruit. She sliced along the surface making a small piece she would be able to eat with a small grin as she licked the juice off of her lower lip. "Hmm now what to do... what to do.. We have everything in order here.. I suppose the main thing that would be needed is to let you get a small feel and possibly see how it all goes down tonight."

 

[Elise Ike]

Her own little part place to keep track of, guess Atrisia would once again be her home once again. "Convince? is that a challenge? I wonder what I will have to do to get that place for myself", she replied follow Sawa's invitation to sit down on the lavish couch. The two sat in silence, Elise cocking an eye borw as her grandmother went about peeling a piece of fruit with quite an ornate knife, strange as ever she was. "So you are going to be my tutorial for when I run my own place? what is this night club tycoon"?

Eyebrows arched, amusement in her eyes. "If you believe you can do it without me Elise... say so but the goal is to make credits and influence within the community. If we are not striving ahead to ensure the NIghtshade is first among the clubs in the city or even the planet... one day possibly the galaxy itself then what is the point?" She asked the question and doubted it would become that popular to the people they would have people from across the galaxy but if you were going to do something might as well hope for being able to go the stars... in this case quite literally. Sawa sat there though while she looked around on the couch watching Elise and sliced a small piece of the fruit. "Do you want a bite my sweet Elise?"

 

[Elise Ike]

Elise made a small chuckle to her grandmother comment, "What do a look like a manager? I spend most of my days 'grave robbing' and stealing important stuff from the Sith and First Order, club management is not really something I have experience in". "So having you help would be beneficial, just saying the moment I learn to do things on my own don't be surprised if I start me own little business chains to rival yours", her face becoming a little smug. It was their nature to compete after all, and if a war was off the table corporate battles were the next best thing, more so since they were legal. "A bite, is that a pun? even so yes, looks sweet, I'm guessing this piece of fruit is from one of your own farms on or off world"? Elise asked taking a cut slice of the juice looking item.

"Well if you are planning to compete with me sweetie you'll have to have the experience and managing a club is much like managing a family you just have to make sure food and drinks are there, generally no one dies and above all that troublemakers are punished." She watched though with silvery eyes checking her out before the two fo them would be here. "There is of course more, your mother runs one of my clubs, she had contributed a great deal to this family and expanded us to a dozen or so worlds with the Dark Angels." She said the name and dropping their title would only do a little. A Nar Shadda street gang that was on several worlds and worked running contraband or as enforcers.... or simply a means to well handle competition.

 

[Elise Ike]

"Sooo you personally even with all your power cannon manage every club in your underground kinngodm and have our other family members help you with it in expanding the enterprise"? That is what is sounded like anyways, a huge profitable family business of clubs, tea houses, restaurants and all manners of different shops, all to keep their little mountain kingdom all nestled away and secret. "But anyways I would be more then willing to take lesson and start to run a palce, come a few hundred years I should be experienced enough to start my own things, the Dixon chain and enterprises to rival that of the Ike family name MUAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.... sorry I got a bit carried away". Even if she acted all proper Elise was still a sith and th though of power no matter were it came from was always a alluring goal to achieve.

She looked amused more then anything sitting there though and then moved quickly. Silver eyes ringed with golden rings of the darkside as Sawa's nostrils flared before she spoke moving close enough to breathe in the scent of flesh and blood pumping underneath it all. Elise was beautiful and she was smart but she also had a mouth that didn't fully filter itself from stating the obvious... she needed to learn tact. Sawa inched closer and inhaled as she grazed her lips along her cheekbone going towards her ear to give a small lick with the tip of her tongue against her earlobe as she spoke. "Yes, I work with our family to grow our interest and so naive my sweet Elise... we have far more enterprises then that."

She backed away smiling and using her hand to lift her up so they were close drew upion the force around them.. she was pulling the energy away and into herself. She was still strong enough and powerful enough to make the ones in the club stop working. THe dancer's practicing stopped and turned to look up at the window... their energies stopping there as she pulled at Elise's energy to properly keep her in her place. "But worry not my dear, we have time to teach you... we have nothing but and plenty for ourselves." THe smile was on her face though as she started walking away to look at a few of the others who were with them here. Dancer's coming to Sawa and two wrapped their arms around her. "Master." "Mistress." THey spoke as Sawa turned around to look at Elise and motion for her to follow.

 

[Elise Ike]

Her eyes kept close watch on Sawa as she did, well what ever the fuck that was, a small chill running down her spin as a moist feeling came across her ear. The creep factor in that moment just went up to 11, Elise looking to her grandmother with a 'wft' face, keeping that expression for a few seconds. "I'd apreciate it if you did not try and make out with my body parts please", she replied in a rather flat and to the point tone of voice.

Not that is mattered as the younger of the two was more or less dragged along like a dog with a collar, working her way behind the women as slaves and loosely dressed women clambered all over her. "Well I do look forward to learning about these sorts of things, could defiantly get some other sorts of uses from a club like this", herself eyeing up the two dancers Sawa currently held. "Who know I may even come up with some original ideas for my own enterprise, get into some markets that your have not yet explored.

"Well dentistry is something important my dear." She said it as a joke but looked at the dancer's who were there with her. "Verdotha, you are as beautiful as ever." The sith grinned as the darker skinned atrisian danced and looked at her. "I try to be master but you never come to temple anymore... we so miss you in the northern continent... I had to travel all the way down here to see you." Sawa looked at her and she turned the woman around to hold her back against her. Arms wrapped around and face turned to scent along the length of her neck. She looked up at Elise and spoke. "Verdotha is a high priestess on Ezogashima in the north. She is in charge you could see of initiates to the darkside and making sure they come to serve me."

 

[Elise Ike]

"Sure sure, what ever you say gran", not that she was wrong, from a simple look at history and the pas such was true, in more ways then one. It kind of made sense why every now and then some fanatical person rose from either the Sith Or Jedi looking to destroy the force or any 'god' that was controlling mortal's fate. She continued to follow her grandmother around, cocking an eyebrow at the priestess dancing up on stage like a common 'ahem' one of those women. "Not something I expected with the words priestess or you certainly have a lot of people wrapped around your serductive finger don't you, what's next secretly you are in bed with the princess"?

Sawa grinned. "Around my finger... hmmm not quite. You are thinking of things only from a certain point of view." Sawa looked at the priestess and motioned her to go back while she walked. "I might not have a princess but there is always one who wants to join me. Different girls across the pla net who are unsure of themselves or are not sure what becomes of them." She said it with a look on her face but was walking around the dance floor of the club. "And we have more religions and ancient gods on Atrisia then some know.... dancing and enticing others is a form of devotion for some. Killing and sacrificing can be another... or perhaps it is both. Perhaps one of the ancient gods of the Jei was a goddess of life and death where followers preformed ritualistic mating dances to create life but also sacrificed to kick them off enemies of their god." She raised her eyebrow and was giving some information about things here with... "And followers of ancient religions can be anywhere."

 

[Elise Ike]

She continued to listen to her grandmother, still quirking an eyebrow throughout the entire exchange, "so you more offer a place for those not knowing their life goals and turn them into quite the eye candy"? "Though I get your dancing thing, many past cultures do that, seems the more human ones often have girls dancing then men", quite a few of her digs and expeditions to worlds still in the pre-technology stage had that quite often. "You know that talk kind of reminds me of a god called Baal,worship often involved drunken sex orgies and sacrificing ones first born in fire to please him, something about being the god of fertility, both in life and crops". But it still seemed like Sawa had some alteroir motives to the whole dancing, no doubt she took advantage of it for her own means. "Guess you guys keep doing what you are doing and keeping an old cult alive, perhaps I will visits this temple later on, sounds interesting".

Well that made it all better as Sawa continued walking around with the priestess and motioned for Elise to come with them. "There is much and the two idea tie closer together on many worlds sweet Elise. It is only a matter of getting below the surface and looking at the old things. Someboth of us are good at." Sawa was walking though and outside of the club a ship set down, Onna walking down in silver and black armor with their swords and pikes. Sawa stayed there as Aoi stepped down the ramp with a fur lined kimono. Black silk and black fur that cascaded down to her ankles, hair around her shoulders and one black eye. The patch over the other was leather with gems around the outside of it. A silk strap and her blade was thicker then a katana but embedded with the runes indicating it was a force blade. "I didn't believe the report." Her voice came out as she stood there and Sawa clapped a little when Aoi came over and embraced her mother turning her head to look towards her daughter. "Elise welcome home."

 

[Elise Ike]

"Getting below the surface or looking at old things? because in that case just staring at a mirror on a daily basis counts towards that, i'm quite the old person". Even if she never really acted that way, maturely she was more someone in their late 20's. She continued to walk with Sawa out of the club, eye turning towards the recently landed ship with interest. She knew that design, she knew that smell, and that signature, hopefully this would not be to awkward. she stood by her grandmother, arms cross as her own mother walked from the ship along with her guard, her appearance seemed to have not different in the last 900 years. "... Hello mother, it has been quite a long time".

Aoi was many things... in some cases almost as old as her mother give or take a few decades but she was very different. Sawa stood there and Aoi looked over at Elise before smiling. "It is good to see you safe." Sawa mused, long grudges could be a thing but hate burned bright only for a time... indifference was the more dangerous thing... plus Elise had given them great grand children... so there was that after all and family was important as the woman walked over. Her hand going into her kimono to slide a pipe out. Long and slender with the end of it packed full as she lit it and mostly embraced her daughter but went back to stand off to the side. She slipped the wood between two fingers and blew out a ring for a moment and then a quickly line to go through the middle of it. Something with thousands of years of practice. "So where are we headed to?" Sawa looked at her and was curious. "Disgusting habit you have picked up in the last four thousand years Aoi... but we have a chance here to go and see some fo the more fun parts. We have an entire village here after all that is being built up."

 

[Elise Ike]

"Safe? well I did get pretty banged up in that attack, thanks I guess for being worried", though it wasn't as if she had been inn any more fights for quite a while. Her saber skills were probably getting rusty from all the time in a book or ruin, perhaps one of the guards would be willing to spar in their spare time. Elise continued to stand their not certain what to do next, watching and being a little surprised at the very sudden embrace from her finely dressed mother. "Since when did you start smoking mother? doing it for fun? or is it to help with any built up stress"? Their kind lived a long time but was far from being perfect in anyway.

Giving a small look. "Oh I have for thousands of years Elise just from time to time I don't. WOnderful thing about living so long if you get bored with something you can just not do it until you want to again." She was walking and Sawa stood in the middle while leading the way. The village they were in had much more to it as Sawa walked down the street, it was dirt sure but the buildings were a mixture with metal and duraplast under wooden paneling that made it look classical in appearance but it had the amenities of more advanced civilizations. Aoi though got to look at some of them and there was a grin on her face. She didn't come down much but the different beings around came to windows.

Some in normal clothing, some in kimono's, others had been working the fields and while they stopped to look they didn't rush over and fawn. Sawa tilted her head going towards one of the pathways going up to a larger building and compared to the club and teahouse it was just small but it also had some different beings. Sawa came up and what looked like an Atrisian was there, hair obscuring half her face, a beast of a female beside her that made Sawa look tiny. Broad shoulders, long legs with corded muscles and her hair came down to her ankles. "Rae." The words slid out with a smoth grin as the woman turned. Cold eyes that were black pools.

"Boss." The one next to her stopped and remained there staying behind the woman. Her dagger on her hip. "And Ruby..... still so bitter. I can taste it from here." There was a sneer and the woman was held back by two others as her face was exposed. Muscle and white bone under transparent synth skin. Her scarred and flayed skin purely visible for anyone to see which got a look of amusement as Aoi moved a hand to her blade and Sawa sat down motioning she didn't have to. Two other seats being brought in by servants. "Oh delicious, lets see that anger ad maybe I'll make your beauty mark bigger this time."

 

[Elise Ike]

"Getting borad, yes I understand that feeling quite well", it was one of the reasons that she was drivent to anthropology, the past and how people acted so long ago before certain inventions was always fascinating to look into. These days nothing seems to change, any new invention was some sort of weapon and most planets were not sprawling cities with very similar cultures. One had to look long and hard to find a planet that was truly different and had many things to explore and look into, didn't help that quite a few were under Sith control, a place she wanted to avoid mostly. Last time someone found out about her powers they kept on trying to get her to join the Sith, unfortunately she had to kill that person least her true identity be revealed.

She continued to trail behind the other women, looking on as they more or less came face to face with the two very muscular guard like beings, certainly was a strange sight, one had to wonder about what sort of training that person needed to go through in order to reach such a size. Elise couldn't help but think there was something slightly unnatural about, it was tenpting to ask, but by the way mother seemed to interact with them such a little talk may not be the best idea.

Sawa sat there and looked at Elise motioning for her to take a seat next to her. Aoi remained ready for a fight but Ruby seemed to be calmed down or at least she was standing stil and Rae remained standing over all of them while she bowed. "You have something for us to do?" Sawa let her eyes gleam for a moment. "Yes I do, I want the Dark Angels to pay a visit to Nar Shadda the jedi are getting awfully close to it and Hutt space in general. Ensure all of my assets on the planet are secured or moved as needed. If they go there, if they bring soldiers I don't want the Dark Angels to be discovered. I want our competitors to be the only ones they find.... is that understood?"

She said it and the taller one Rae bowed her head. "Yes boss, we'll make sure only the hutts and this new player trying to control Nar Shadda are the only thing they discover." She rose up and motioned for the others to head out as Aoi was looking at Sawa and inhaled letting a line of smoke up out and into the air. Sawa was looking at her and at Elise with a grin on her face. "Nothing granddaughter with everything you will have here... lets see what we might be able to do. I know you will want to resist and rebel.. to make me angry.... but there is a point to what we can do. You can fight me or you can build up our family here, making it strong and go out into the galaxy."
