Faction &nbsp; Party on the Midnight Kyber | Kraken Coalition

Mondo Ohnaka

A happy looking Cass left the dance floor and approached Mondo at the bar, she liked the energy of this man. "Welcome to the Kyber friend, I see you have already met my barman. I hope the galaxy is treating you well." She ordered herself another cocktail "got a few faces here so far, and the DJ is on fire"

She stopped as there was a ping in her ear and the mood on her face changed. "My apologies Mondo, be right back" she stormed across the club floor, revellers parting as they saw her. Walking out into the corridor, ahead of her were two damaged service droids and a cut open door.

Three pirate marines had surrounded the unconscious woman and had her secured. Cass ignited her light saber, the red blade casting a glow on the walls.

"What is going on here?" She demanded, pointing her saber at Gami, not in an attack pose but in a clear sign that she wanted an answer "this woman is your guest and your responsibility. I want to know why she has deemed it sensible to disrupt my party and damage my property"

This woman wasn't the first and wouldn't be the last person to try to take advantage of her hospitality, there was a reason she had a dedicated deck for entertainment, and she wouldn't stop now. She gestured with her free hand at the latch of the casket and it hissed open, it contained clothes, mostly dresses and low quality jewellery.

Looking at the girl who was now propped up against a wall, "I wonder if she would think this score worth the risk" she lifted a string of artificial pearls out of the casket using the force and flicked it over to her.

A small crowd had gathered at the end of the corridor, but a glance from Cass kept everyone other than her marines back. She knew there was more than a few here who would have Cass run her through for this act, but that was not Cass's way. "I do not wish to harm this young woman today, but I had better have a good explanation"

She continued holding the saber while Gami spoke, so they just want whatever this trinket is, well, if he is willing to pay appropriately then that was an acceptable solution.

"OK Gami, here is what we are going to do, I am going to put away my blade and you are going to give the box to my fixer here," she gestures at Aelex Reddman, waiting to one side on a tuxedo, "He is a trustworthy crew member, he will have it valued and offer you a fair price, feel free to send the details to your own valuation expert, let's call it an art sale."

"You will then take this woman back to your own ship and restrict her to it for the remainder of the visit. Whether you, and only you, return to my ship for the party is up to you but you have my word that nothing will happen to yourself unless you act inappropriately." She took a breather, in front of her guests, she probably should invoke the code, "any further breaches of trust, whether you try to steal the item prior to sale, attack my ship or crew, or do anything else to harm my persons or property, will be treated as a violation of our code and any guarantee of safety will be void"

She relaxed her arm and deactivated her saber. Aelex stepped forward, performed a full scan of the item and handed the pad to Gami before holding out his hands for the box. He smiled a professional but friendly smile, "Looks like nobody has to die after all, of you pass me your details, you will get a fair price, I promise that on the code"

Knowing the man who was essentially her third in command had it under control, and that her marines would escort the visitors to their ship, she returned to the club, she looked over at the bar where she had left Mondo only minutes before and signalled that she needed another drink

After a while of standing on the threshold, Isidor had made a beeline to the bar. He took note of how red everything is. Red is an interesting colour, in a different set of circumstances, it signals danger but here, it is inviting. The drinks on sale are also inviting, and Isidor likes a good drink. The crew he brought with him were nearby doing their own thing. He needed to have a small number of crewmembers though, things tend to escalate if someone gets sore over something. The smaller they are, the less damage control is needed.

However, the Ubese wasn't too keen on the idea of doing any dancing whatsoever because he is a terrible dancer. He stands on people's toes, forgets where to put his feet and is overall a messy tangle of limbs and frustration. But he would agree if asked though. He seems to be a little more decent at it when inebriated.

He gave the Bartender a generous tip for the exquisite beverage he brought. With the flavours exploding in his mouth, of all the alcohol he has ever had, this one was the top of his list as the best, so far. The only bad thing about it was that it was gone and he was going to rectify it immediately with another just like it.

<"Barman, me good man, I want another!"> He declares handing another fistful of currency to the kind Bartender, he's got enough of the monies to indulge himself tonight. They even have Bar Finger Food in little glass bowls too. They have everything here. Isidor helped himself to a little bit of everything, thrice over.

Who says you can't be a little too greedy when at a party where fun is the key word?

Cass saw Isidor at the bar and walked over to join him. "Enjoying the drinks? This man here joined us a couple of years ago, he was a slave to some crime lords and he picked up some good skills. Now he uses those same skills her for a much fairer wage" she held out her hand without even looking as the barman slid a drink down the bar. She took a slip "BY ASHLA! this has a kick, trying something new?"

"You know it boss, always trying to suprise you," he replied with smile of anticipation for her to taste.

She drank some more "its good, real heat to that one, i might have to pack a few next time we raid an ice world".

She turned back to Isidor, "so, what do you think of the coalition? A few strange ones there, had a little run in with Gami and his crew but its all sorted now"

Sasmay Cull · Aug 15, 2021

Location: aboard the Gray Queen's Throne in deep space.

The Gray Lady silently stood beside Sasmay as they cruised through the scene of space before them. The biological woman had been quiet, hand rubbing the eyepatch that covered the missing left eye. The crew worked around the pair, the twi'lek Vella stood beside them on the left.

The AI glanced to the twi'lek, the woman looking back before looking to their captain. Vella had been perusing the galaxy for work after her dismissal from the Agents Armada. The twi'lek chewed her lip and glanced between them for a final time. The Gray Lady slid in front of the chair with an annoyed roll of her eyes.

The spacers outfit she had decided on came into the singular spot of vision Sasmay had. Her eye stinged, the phantom eye also feeling it though failing to produce anything more than the feeling. Her hand rubbed the remaining eye, pushing away the feelings she was still working through as the red eyes of the AI popped into view.

"There is a message waiting for you. Private, and highly secured. Would you like to hear it?" Gray spoke, returning to her place on the right as Sasmay looked out to the stars. A long pause of thought was cut into by a sharp nod, hand moving to brace her as she leaned in the seat and listened.

The message relayed, Vella and the AI waited patiently for the reply from the new captain. It was tantalizing, taking the chance of a party to think of something else for a while. Her foot bobbed, needing the movement to keep her thoughts in line as she took a deep breath and waved a hand.

"Punch in the coordinates and take us there." She finally commanded, get a nod from the Gray Lady as Vella grimaced. The captain stood, exaggerated effort at removing herself from the chair before pointing to Vella and speaking.

"Vell has the bridge. Let me know when we get close. Send our response back. Put that dot on the visual system...or whatever can handle it." She waved before the doors closed behind her. Vella watched with concern, but said nothing as she assumed command. She'd done this before, but now it was a singular vessel without support. They were alone, but also not by the message they had received. A coalition of sorts.

She was leary about joining such a ragtag group, or even making contact with them. But orders were orders. She confirmed the location with Gray before the ship jumped to hyperspace. Vella stared into the void, contemplating as she kept track of their arrival.

Elsewhere

Sasmay walked through the corridors, the captains quarters suddenly much further away than she had realized or remembered it being. Her hadn traced along the wall, gaging the distance between herself and the walls with that simple gesture.

It was still taking some adjusting to. The missing eye throwing off her perception as she finally reached the door to her quarters. Her armor was set aside, dropping her hair out of its careful wrapping of the tight bun. There was a soft sweep of her fingers through the length of it, admiring the growth in the time that Domino had taken her leave.

The shift in her eye color had been a slow process. The brown slowly shifting to a crisp cinnamon color before settling finally with this final shift in her lifestyle. She dressed and checked her left eye, cleaning the spot before changing into something a bit more party appropriate. The ship shuddered before dropping back into real space with a confirmation signal sent to the hosting vessel.

The docking complete, Vella and Gray watched Sasmay depart, greeted by those waiting as she made her way towards the the impromptu club that existed in the ship.

She stood in the doorway long enough to find the bar, headed directly for a drink before anything else.

Isidor took some time to consider Cass's question. He liked the idea of unity within the Pirating world. He had to agree there are a lot of wild and colourful characters that have formed the Coalition, Mondo most of all which is fitting as his ancestor was the fabulous Hondo. He did quirk an eyebrow too, Gami wasn’t doing himself any favours by being troublesome, but it was quickly resolved without bloodshed. Isidor decided not to ask what Gami did for now as it is not his place to ask. But he would when it is appropriate.

<“These are the highest quality drinks I ever tasted; I am on my 5th one now."> A pause and then, <“So far the Coalition is going strong, and we are exactly what Piracy needs to well, survive.”>

This is true, the lack of a central force worked well up to a point, then as the infighting escalated it made it easier to be picked off. He knew how bad infighting can get. He was guilty of starting a few intense and vicious fights with other captains himself long before he joined the Coalition.

He did look over to see how his small crew was doing, they were dancing and having a jolly good time doing so. But they needed to watch where they were dancing too. Nikita the Duros nearly hit the nearest table with his leg.

"Well, I am glad you are enjoying the drinks, your crew look like they are enjoying themselves too. If you need anything let me know, its a shame you don't dance, I have some excellent moves myself." She was very pleased that Isidor was in support of the coalition, she wanted it to go far and really hoped that everyone involved was on the same page. A ping came through in her ear, she looked over to the door in time to see an attractive young woman walking over to the bar, Cass felt herself instantly drawn to her, she walked over to introduce herself.

"Welcome to the Midnight Kyber, I am Cass Gemini, captain here. It is good to see a new face here, I hope you found me easily enough. Would you like a drink?" Cass reached out her hand as one of the waiting staff immediately filled it with a cocktail, "I hope this one works for you, I think it is from a planet called Felucia, the barman tells me it has some kind of healing herb in it, but I think it is yummy." It tastes very light and tingly, almost like a combination of mint, white chocolate and popping candy. She gestured around, telling her guest where the different party areas were.

"I hope you dance, as I would love to get you on that floor, I love that outfit"

She had no more than swung a leg over the seat before feeling eyes on her. A slow look around found her singular eye settling on someone before her right eye narrowed and turned to face the bar once more.

A voice caught her attention this time rather than the feeling of being watched. Her head already swirling from a bit of day drinking as the woman introduced herself with a flourish that ended with an offered drink. There was a mustered smile, if only for the fluidity of the whole scene.

"Sasmay Cull, Gray Lady's Throne. And yes, I would appreciate drinks." She accepted the new drink, looking at it briefly with the strange colors as she listened. "Felucian, huh? Never know if you don't try."

She took a sip, eye narrowing at the flavors that rolled over her tongue. It was different, strange from the default corellian whiskey she had stashed about her own vessel. Her right eye followed the hand once more, the soft motion of her head moving giving a hint the woman might have already been a bit tipsy as she shrugged.

"Last time I tried drinking and dancing it became a show for everyone. And it would be rude of me to ruin the fine outfit you're wearing...at least with a drink anyway." She smiled, taking another sip and managing a wink.

Elsewhere

Location: The Gray Queen's Throne docked to the Midnight Kyber.

The crew milled about, fulfilling tasks that otherwise fell to the wayside while they had downtime. Vella sat beside Gray, watching the AI examine her hands as the twi'lek rolled her tongue over her teeth.

"Is that a nervous habit of yours?" Gray spoke without dropping her attention from her hands.

Vella stared at her before clicking her tongue. The AI seemed quick to pick up on the little things she noted before settling into the chair a bit more.

"Undock, message Cull that we are entering a holding position around the group. I don't like sitting out in the open like this without some early warning or a chance to fight back."

Gray frowned but complied as the message was compiled and sent. The system's warmed up quickly as they removed themselves and slowly adjusted themselves to act as a shield against any strange new comers.

"You didn't answer my query, ehx-oh Vale."

The twi'lek rubbed her face and began waiting for the evening to wind down, wondering if this was why Cull drank so much.

Dispara · Aug 26, 2021

Dispara walked silently beside the Midnight Kyber crewman who escorted her. She had not come through a ship dock, they were rather busy with the other guests arriving. She had used one of the Witch's Boudior's force cylinders, one of the few things the corvette had to brag about, setting it up between airlocks of the two pirate ships, and simply walked across the short force field tunnel and knocked on the door. She was welcomed aboard, once the black dot was confirmed, of course. She went alone, the crew of her ship was skeleton to start with, and none had really impressed her enough to earn first mate rank, after Butta was killed, well, "accidentally" fell into space.

Crystal pale blue eyes wandered as they walked. The course was kept to main corridors, obviously taking the quickest and most sterile route to the scene of the party. There was not one door left open along the way. Cass was generous to host the party, but wise enough to ensure the party stayed at the party.

Dispara had shed her rather ratty collection of reinforced fiber armor and eclectic clothing for something more night clubbish, or so she thought. Dispara had not been to a lot of 'nice' places. She wore a snug, black, long sleeve top with a long black skirt and boots that had the blood and mud hosed off of them. That in itself was a rare thing. She rarely wore anything else than that armor and primitive garb. Rare was the occasion upon which she washed it also. Reluctantly, Dispara figured she had some peers to impress, as the newest captain to the fledgling pirate council, so she dolled up some. She even washed her hair.

The half-Sephi was deposited at the entrance to the club. "Well hells bells." She murmured to herself with a grin, eyeing the full on dance club nestled on the pirate frigate. Dance music played as a Twi'lek worked a full on bar. She strolled in, making her way to the bar. She identified Cass first, recognizing her from their holo chat. She was playing the host, the red and black haired captain looked pretty damn good herself. Isidor the Ubese he recognized from a brief communication, as well as Captain Cull, dressed to the nines for the evening. The others, well, she had no idea who they were...yet.

Without wavering, Dispara made her way to the bar. First things first, after all. She slid onto a seat. "Hey, drink poobah," She gestured to the barkeep with a pair of fingers, "...you got the means to make a Cometduster? Do a gal a favor and say yes."

Cass smiled as

Sasmay Cull winked, "so you won't dance in case you ruin my dress?" She pulled a small blade out of, well who knows where she was hiding that, "so if it was already ruined," she gently ran the tip of the blade across the fabric of her dress, moving it along her Clavicle line, firmly but not quite hard enough to break the stitch. "Would that solve the problem" she looked into Cull's eyes intensly for a long moment, before a giggle overran her control and she she burst out with a laugh.

Over at the bar the barman welcomed the Twi'lek, "looks like its your lucky night, that's a drink for discerning tastes" he reached into his stock and pulled out some ingredients, he mixed them together and then dipped rod that looked a little like a taser in to it, electricity crackled briefly around the edge of the glass edge as he handed it to Dispara "Looks like there is a spark between us" he winked in a really cheesy but welcoming way.

Cass spun on her barstool to face Dispara, she was having a great time at her party and it showed on her face. "Welcome to the Kyber Miss Dispara, i see you have met my favourite bartender. A Word of warning, i know a certain pirate who would totally steal that gorgeous dress. Tell me you dance right? I am this close" she held her fingers reeealllyy close together "to getting

Isidor Justeene here to show me his moves, and Miss Cull has offered to chuck a drink at me in there"

She had an odd air about her, she clearly seemed mildly intoxicated, but her actions were completely her own and she was in control in her own vivacious way. She was relaxed, having fun and showing them Cass.

Dispara · Aug 30, 2021

The Twi'lek barman confirmed he did indeed have the means to make the cocktail. "Good man." Dispara encouraged, watching a moment as he began to mix the electrified drink. The half-Sephi's gaze turned to the two women nearby, Captain

Cass Gemini and

Sasmay Cull were in a conversation next to her. She watched with curiosity as Cass whipped out a blade and marred her dress. Dispara shrugged, noting their host still looked like a knockout in the garment, ruined or not.

She returned her gaze to the barkeeper when he returned with her drink, and a corny phrase. Dispara rolled her eyes and grinned. "Can't blame ya for that one, too easy to pass up." She commented at the cheesy comment, gratefully distracted when Cass spun around to address her. Dispara took a sip of the Cometduster as the woman welcomed her, feeling the zingy charge of the mixed liquor as it slid across her tongue.

The pointed-eared blonde looked down at her dress and laughed. "Well, it would only be fair, I stole it from someone else." She replied with a wink. "I suppose someone could talk me out of it just like I did her!" A subtle double meaning was woven into Dispara's reply. "But yours compliments you very well. And yes, I do dance, once I get this in me." She added, hefting the drink in her hand. No matter how many she drank, Dispara would not progress past a buzz. Something about her mixed blood seemed to limit the effects of alcohol. That was why she preferred luna weed. She leaned a bit to offer a wave to Sasmay. "Love the outfit." She commented.

Leaning further around both Cass and Sasmay, Dispara looked at

Isidor Justeene . "See an Ubese dance? hells yeah. And flinging drinks? This is my kind of club." She offered with a wry grin, her gaze wandering around the room, also taking in the Weequay and Trandoshan. "Damn impressive to have a full on nightclub on your ship, I see you have your priorities straight, Miss Gemini." Dispara added, giving the woman a light tap on the shoulder.

"More a warn-" She began to speak before the blade appeared and trailed it way to 'ruining' the outfit. The drink was still in her hand, eye blinking at the sight that was marginally sobering to see. A smirk and a nod accompanied her next words."Then it isn't a problem."

The woman spun about to address another, and there was a tight frown that appeared in the interruption. She leaned back far enough to address the newcomer, quickly recognized before she spoke.

"Spill, not chuck." She corrected before sliding out and placing a hand around the waist of their host.

"Lets dance then."

She was having fun, if only in the moment. Regret could come later when the silence and emptiness of her cabin was around her. Relishing the feel of company was its own prize even if was to be bittersweet in the end.

<“I am a terrible dancer,”> Isidor reiterates as he beckons the barman over for another drink. He’ll need to snag the recipe for it at some point.

The drinks were making his brain a tad frizzy in places and the subtle pressure to dance added to it. Isidor polished off his 7th drink and stood up off where he sat. Why not, it’s a fun night, and it would be amiss not to show off a bit. Showing off happens around this mark and the whole thing just vanishes into the ether the next day and no one remembers anything. But right now, nothing exists outside this bubble of time and place. His crew stilled and cheered as Isidor beelined for the dance floor.

He danced an awkward dance but a dance in of itself, he was too tipsy to notice anything else and grabbed Rochel into a square, triangle squiggly step. She went along with it, wincing as her feet got trodden on here and there. Everyone else did the same, Nikita did end up tripping over a chair and then decided to dance with it.

A very badly choreographed waltz mingled with the other dances. Isidor was having more fun than he has ever had. Also, he was happily drunk to mind or care how bad his dance moves are. Now he held out a hand to Cass, offering her a dance.

As

Sasmay Cull pulled her in to lead her to dance, Cass let herself take "save me," she said to Cass with a grin, "I'm being accosted by a pirate" The two women walked toward the dance floor, following the lead of the apparently reluctant dance, Cass beckoned that Dispara followed too "you need to get caught up on the drinks, bring another of those dusters with you!" She called back.

As they got there

Isidor Justeene was in full swing and Cass clapped and wooped at him, he clearly didn't have a lot of rhythm and grace, but he was making a good show for it and she admired that he was up for it.

Around them, most of the differenr command crews were dancing and in some state of intoxication and dancing merrily together, alcohol and music could make all different people mix.

Cass gently wiggled her own hips to the beat of the music as she stood with Samsay, watching for a moment, before taking Isidors offered hand. Cass initially tried to keep in time with the improvised dance, there was something care free about unplanned routine that she enjoyed. "I thought you said you couldn't dance my friend?" She said to her dance partner over the music, "I'm glad you stopped holding out on me" Then the beat changed and it was time for Cass to lead the dance, the music was slower this time, more to the her liking.

She danced sensually to the music, dancing with Isidor, whilst keeping looking over towards Sasmay, trying to gauge her reaction. Its said you can tell certain things about a person by the way they danced, and Cass wanted to make sure the other woman was watching closely.

Dispara · Sep 1, 2021

As Dispara took another generous swig of the Cometduster, her pale blue eyes followed Sasmay as she headed to the dance floor, Cass in tow. They were damn nice to look at, but the witch pirate felt the brush of something against her being when the one-eyed captain of the Gray Queen's Throne passed by. Darkness. That Bogan caressed her own sensitivity to the Force. What secrets did Sasmay hold? Probably as many as the rest of the pirates in that club.

"Fekkin' lighten up, Dis." She murmured to herself, taking yet another drink from her glass. She was beginning to feel the alcohol's effect. Just in time, as Cass summoned her to the dance floor as well. She downed the rest of he cocktail and waved to the barman to whip up another one. Dispara slipped from her seat, eyeing the festivities. Isidor had finally had enough to drink to get onto the floor, the Ubese gyrating a good effort, if it didn't exactly match the tempo. In fact, many of the various crewmen who came joined in the to dance, with various success, or simply drank and laughed. It was becoming a proper pirate party.

Dispara took up her own dance, once under the colored lights, something more primitive and a bit less sensual than Cass and more in tempo than Isidor's. Her long black dress swayed, brushing the ankles of her high black boots. She danced with no one in particular, moving fluidly among all the dancers. The Twi'lek barkeep was generous enough to bring her next Cometduster to her, for which he earned a salacious smile.
