The sound of the click made hin tilt his head in both amusement and defeat. The Mando placed the remote in his hands as well, his way to get out of them. Romeo shook his head and sighed a little.

"You sorta brought it to this notion that cuffs could be involved in more than just a...heist? Is that what you call this? A heist, a set sup?" Romeo said as he followed behind her.

"And I'm not kinky, cuffs arnt kinky." Aloy Vizsla

 

[Aloy Vizsla]

"You obviously never read fifty- nevermind" She shook her head and laughed, headed towards the cockpit. "I thought you wanted the cuffs? But maybe I'm just doing you a favor before you do something you'll regret. You oughta get to know what kinda trouble you're inviting before the fact" Soon they were in the cockpit. K1 was watching the data go by on the terminal while keeping everything afloat, and joti sat down in a comfy leather pilot's seat, motioning for romeo to do the same with a matching seat next to her, one that had the gunner's controls on standby.

"And I prefer the term "Aggressive Resignation notice" She laughed.

Romeo continued to follow her as she spoke, woman was smart all right. But, the Vahla had thought a smarter woman would have put force cuffs on instead, who knew, Romeo was sometimes erratic.

"Trouble's my middle name." He replied.

Now they were in the cockpit of the ship, and as she had said, this would take sometime before they actually reached Jakku. There was always the possibility that Joti would hand Romeo over, and that would be the end of it. A dark thought, that Romeo was now wondering if he had to consider. His thoughts had come up with their own plans for such a thing, but it wasn't a worst case scenario.

"Sounds like you're realizing you were working for the wrong people...you know they killed their own citizens..." Romeo's voice trailed off, Eclipstica wasn't too far from First Order hands. "Still...they're not the smartest bunch." Romeo ended with the last sip of his caf.

"Name one faction that hasn't at one point or another, and I'll show you a pacifist mando'ade"
There was no sarcasm nor humor to be heard in that statement as she half muttered, flipping a switch to bring up some systems data. She watched carefully, making sure that everything was in order before leaning back and reaching for the cup holder. which was empty of course.

"Oh... Right" She sighed and shot a glare at k1.

"I've worked a lot of people by now. Mandalorians, First order, Black sun, Petty gangs on tatooine. Only realy hive of scum and villainy I haven't touched on yet would probably be. uhh" She stared at the ceiling for a moment while she thought about it.

"Coruscant's lower levels. Never got past the surface when I was there last time. Other than whatever scum control that, I've shot at people for just about anyone, long as it paid. It was all small time though, Still don't have much rep with the guild I'm afraid"

Romeo sighed at her words.

"We never did, we call it an empire, but it's more of a team effort."

It was true, the empire had never once killed it's own people. They were not savages, but the worse part was that Joti was right. Even Jedi were acting like Sith with blue energy blades.

"I've worked for the Hutt Cartels, that's some scary stuff there. Mandos have always been good in my book." He replied to her. Those were some old times when he worked with hutts, and he hoped he'd never have to ever again. "Tore down these big wooden doors of a Hutt named Popo....I dont think he was too happy about...youth and all.." He stopped.

While he understood Joti's word, and lifestyle: "Surely, you could make your own code of conduct. Following anyone's code but your own is just..." Romeo shivers at the thought. "Wouldn't you rather live by a code that feels...more..I guess you? Granted I know little to nothing about the guild, and try to stay as far away as possible."

Aloy Vizsla

 

[Aloy Vizsla]

"My Code?" She chuckled. "I've always had my own code, and Never any but that. Well, save for the resol'nare I suppose. but that's less of a code for us and more a fact of life"

She thought about it for a moment, still staring at the pulsating blue and white glow that was the hyperlane in front of them.

"It's a simple code, my code. You don't kark with me, I don't kark with you unless I have to. That's the first rule" She raises her hand, lifting one finger. then she raises a second.

"The second rule is real easy. I take care of myself first. That's everyone's code, some just don't follow it too well"

She pauses for a moment longer, lifting a third finger with a slight sigh.

"And rule three... I don't hunt my vod. You hire me to kill mandalorians, you watch your shebs. Cause odds are Imma find someone who's paying people to gun for it. And a vod never forgets"
One could tell by her tone that she'd come into conflict with her third rule before. Be it a time she had to back out of a deal or a time someone forced her hand, the conflict was there.

Romeo leaned in against her pilot seat, admitting that while space flight was terrible, the view was always amazing from hyperspace. It was old, hyperspace technology, and yet it still held on as the best form of traveling from star system to star system. It made him ponder hard on her words.

"A simple code, but an effective one...if one always followed it." He said noting the hint of possible regret in the mentioning of her last code.

"Though it sounds like the second code might conflict with the third..." Romeo leaned further down, placing his cheek against hers. "But this is your business, and I'm not one to probe where I don't belong. Still, this code is better than the Sith Code..." Romeo nuzzled her, hands still cuffed. "Peace is a lie...There is only passion. Careful that you don't tip toe around such a thing...Compassion is just as important for yourself as it is for others."

Aloy Vizsla

 

[Aloy Vizsla]

"Hmm.." She leaned into him, mimicking the same movement while she thought about what he'd said.

"You might be right" It was a rare thing, a very rare thing, but she had broken the second rule a time or two already. Romeo was living proof. Or, rather, freely walking proof? no, no he's cuffed. chit.
Then comes the sith code and all it's wonders. She didn't give to chits about the force kark, but passion? passion she could do. The sith were ruled by the idea of emotion itself, and joti wasn't far off in that regard, Thinking more with the heart than the head sometimes. Even if it felt small and dark at times. Maybe it was guilt, maybe it was too much coffee, who knows.

"Well, looks like we've got plenty to spare in here" she giggled to herself and put one arm around romeo.

"I'd ask you when you're going to take those things off, but we're actually getting close. Best keep 'em on a little longer"

The Red of Sinner

 

[The Red of Sinner]

"Oh fun." Romeo sighed. "And we were just getting to the good parts where I continue my attempts to swoon you with my charm and dashingly good looks." he joked. "Maybe that's why they wanted me, they want to clone me for my looks." The Vahla lifted his head up and pulled out his weapon from jacket.

"If we're going to do this, we gotta do it right." He cracked his neck, and rolled his shoulders.

"Hit me."

Aloy Vizsla

 

[Aloy Vizsla]

"Ah yes, the dashing rogue! my kinda people" She laughs. "We'll clone you, seduce some political folk, run a kingdom somewhere"

And then came the famous last words. Hit me. Well, He asked for it. She lifts one hand that was on his shoulder, and lightly slaps him on the back of the head. not even really enough to be painful but enough for her to get a laugh.

"That what'cha wanted?" She grins and stands up as the ship exits hyperspace, the great big dust ball that was jakku coming into view.

"I'm going to grab one more piece of gear while you recover" she laughs while headed for the armory. "You can swoon some more when we're done!" she calls out

The Red of Sinner

 

[The Red of Sinner]

That wasn't what he had meant, and on top of that he flinched to such a love tap! Romeo shook his head and chuckled.

"That..nevermind." He said as he turned to watch her leave. "Oh however will I recover from this! The pain!" He called out as he slipped the remote into his jacket. Still, with weapon in hand Romeo figured she probably would take it from it, or there was something else going on. What had she forgotten to get? Looking around, Romeo decided there was only one thing to do. For just in case.

Quickly, Romeo slipped his weapon under the seat of the pilot, making sure one couldn't see it unless they crouched and was really looking for it. It was time to get a new one anyways. He stood up, and stretched some. Been awhile since he had been in a battle of any kind.

"Almost done? They're gonna know we're here by now."

"Good. K1, Tell them we have the uhh... "Package" alive. And just do what air traffic control says this time"

She calls out from the armory. K1 beeped and hailed whatever poor stormtrooper was in charge of air traffic into their territory that day.

Joti comes back a moment later with her jetpack on. She reaches around and twists a piece that soon releases a small hose. she takes it and connects it to the underbarrel attachment on her carbine. With a quick tap on the secondary trigger, a small blue flame ignites at it's tip with a quiet but woosh

"I hope you like Barbecue" She gestures for romeo to follow her and makes her way towards the boarding ramp, waiting for k1 to land.
The Red of Sinner

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo was beginning to feel a little paranoid now, the jetpack was of course left behind because no one wants to sit in a seat with a giant thing on one's back. Inside, he was sighing, but on the outside, his eyes lit up at the site of the blue flame.

"Extra crispy please." He replied back to her.

Now it was sort of a waiting game, see where it all went.

"If I die, I'm coming to haunt you...you think I'm kinky now, wait till you meet afterlife me."

Aloy Vizsla

 

[Aloy Vizsla]

"Kark! The goes that plan" she laughs. "Or maybe that is the plan?" She winks at him and continues waiting for the ramp to drop.

After a short wait, the ship rumbles and comes to a stop, landing in the ruins of a village somewhere on the sand covered surface. Joti looks grabs her helmet from a shelf nearby and puts it on, giving a moment for the HUD to come alive. She then turns to romeo

"I'm gunna try and talk to them first. Last time I was here it was low security, this is a meeting place, not a base. Should be easy pickings once their guard's down" She says with a crackling electronic undertone through her bug like helmet.
The Red of Sinner

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo nodded at her, now following her lead. The helmet seemed a little different for a mandalorian design, but he knew the Mandos liked their custom designs. There were designs from their archives that looked vastly different than what they did now. All cuffed up and ready, Romeo was prepared, remote in pocket, and the Force drawing within him. His mind was now utterly focused on the task at hand.

"Ready when you are." He said

Aloy Vizsla

 

[Aloy Vizsla]

"Alright... Let's do this" The boarding ramp slowly descends, bathing the interior with light, blinding joti for a split second before her flash visor adjusted, allowing her to see clearly and comfortably in the bright desert. Ahead of them lay the ruins of an old village, old enough that it was hard to tell whether it had been destroyed in ages past or simply abandoned.
Joti puts one hand on romeo's shoulder and nudges him slightly as the two of them come into view.

"Gotta play our parts right" She whispers.

Romeo being a master of the darkside could probably feel the presence of a few organics nearby. At least four, one of which radiated both surprise and anger. All of them were out of sight, hidden in various buildings or behind rubble, two in front of them somewhere, and one on either side of them.
The Red of Sinner

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo allowed her to push him forward, to lead him as if he truly was a prisoner of hers. Truth be told, Romeo was in uncharted territory, and without his weapon, only the Force was here to guide him. It was true, there was plenty of presences to be felt around here, all through the force was anger and disgust. Whatever he had done there was plenty mad about it.

Still, he continued to pool the Force inside him, drawing on strength. He was relying on that flamer she had to cause real havoc if need be. The cuffs felt tighter than they had before, maybe it was paranoia kicking back in, but Romeo could never be sure.

Two figures approach from around the corner, One wearing the white armour of a first order storm trooper, marred and worn by an undetermined amount of time in the deserts of jakku.
The other was clad in dark robes, a black cloak billowing behind with each step, the sun reflecting off his smooth, black helmet. All the tell tale signs of the knights of ren.

"Bounty Hunter..." He began, his voiced distorted to the point where one could not determine whether it was a man, woman, or even alien speaking to them.

"I did not expect you to... Be back. So soon at least"

He stopped some ten feet away, his storm trooper escort standing at attention beside him.

"And You, Sin. It cannot say it is good to meet you in person, but it is good that our paths have crossed after all this time..."

The Red of Sinner Aloy Vizsla

 

[The Red of Sinner]

With his head tilting, curiosity had gotten the best of him now, replacing paranoia. The Stormtroopers looked raggedy, and simply lost to Romeo. The Vahla then turned to look at the dark figure that stood before them, addressing Romeo like he knew something about the dark master. Leaning forward while squinting his eyes, Romeo wasn't sure what this Ren thought he knew, but he was fairly certain he was more out of the loop than the rest.

"I'm sorry, am I supposed to know you? You Ren all kinda look alike to me. Fanatics clad in black, sometimes I mistaken you for Sith. Wait...you're a Knight of Ren right?"


Aloy Vizsla @[NPC]

 

[Aloy Vizsla]

There were a lot of things going through joti's mind. By the words of this.. "Knight", she indeed wasn't meant to return, which meant that this guy was now double dead to her.
Then there was the fact that she didn't really have a plan beyond Kill Knight. Get Money.
Now she had to decide exactly how this was gunna go down. Maybe she could use her wrist flamer when he got close to take romeo? He can't lightsaber his way out of that one now can he?

But then, all tactical thought and planning went out the window when romeo decided to talk chit to the knight.

"Hm. hmm hmm. ha haha HAHAHAHA!" Joti cannot help but laugh, holding romeo with one hand and her chest with other, leaning forward and trying her hardest to keep it contained. After a moment, she sucks it up and makes an attempt to revert to normal.

"Just.. I have places to be, So if you could just toss that finder's fee my way, I'll be on my way"
She chuckles and pats romeo on the back.
