Strange Magic (Nar Shaddaa)

Hawk's quest for this amulet has taken him to many locations. His latest vision lead him to the smuggling moon, Nar Shaddaa. It was the last place he wanted to go. He didn't have many fond memories of this place.

As he walks down the street, he mentally replays his visions of this amulet. The first vision showed a woman getting killed by some SIth over the amulet. They were in a foggy swampy environment which lead Hawk to go to Dagobah. All he discovered was some ancient cave dwellings. Nothing to do with the Angel of Death amulet. It gave and took away life.

Last night while mediate about the amulet, he had another vision. This time he was able to see more of it. That what brought him to Nar Shaddaa. All he had to do was find the bounty hunter. In his vision, he saw that original owner the Sith, had been killed by a bounty hunter.

Nar Shadaa a place that offered opportunities and situations. Since her arrival here she had been propositioned more than once one Crime Lord offered to keep her in a style she'd find most comfortable if she would only performs certain acts for him.

Normally a zeltron would not think twice about the pleasure factors but this was not the right time for her to be setting up house she needed information. Leilani walked across the crosswalks of and pathways of Nar Shadaa with ease. She acted regal the type of people she needed to entice would not like a party girl they wanted serene, calm, drug free.

Bounty hunters,..first time in his life that he was looking for one instead of trying to get away. How in the force was he to find this bounty hunter? He didn't have a name. All Hawk knew that he wore Mando armor. "Frak." He mutters to himself as he walks across a street passing by a familar face.

He does a double take. He turns around. Yes it was her. He quickly catches up to her. "Lana? Hi" he says to her. Hawk was wearing a black pants with a Correlian red bloodstripes on the side with a whits shirt and black leather jacket. He had a blaster holster strapped to his upper thigh. His lightsaber was hidden in his leather jacket. He basically looked like smuggler for hire.

Lana stopped and turned looking back to where she thought she heard her name called, and there bobbing among the crowd was the dark haired Jedi from Spira. "Hawk Solo, are you following me?" She walked back towards him, what was he doing here on Nar Shadaa.

He had that same puppy look in his eyes, she already knew what that meant. She reached where he stood on the walkway she leaned over and hugged him, then kissed his cheek lightly. "So..what are you doing here?"

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

Hawk laughs. "No..I'm not following you. I think you are following me" he says teasing her. He returns her embrace and kisses her cheek. She still smelled liked he remember. When he thinks about their time on Spira...it felt like a dream.

"I'm on a mission.. How about you? Why are you here?" He hadn't to expected to find her wandering the street of Nar Shaddaa. He did recall her saying about something about Nar Shaddaa. He couldn't remember what.

His mission was personal. Not many in the Silver Jedi knew about this vision. Only one., [member="Leori Sheltrak"] He had left alone to follow this lead to Nar Shaddaa.

"I'm shopping" She couldn't very well say I'm scouting out my next target could she. But shopping was certainly very acceptable. "A mission you say are you chasing Hutts Hawk?" She always smiled to make him feel welcome, she always touched his arm to make him feel wanted.

What had he been doing since they last saw each other, but first she would play this out with him. Play the game of small talk and twenty questions.

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

"Shopping? That sounds like fun." He glanced at her. He didn't see any bags. "No luck yet huh?" He smiles lopsided at her. He always felt comfortable around her.

"Not Hutts. I ummm looking for a particular bounty hunter." He says in low whisper not wanting to be overheard.

​

"Nope not yet, I like to take my time find the right things not just things" not a lie and spoken very clearly. He was close and whispering a bounty hunter. "Well you have to go where they hang out."

She smiled, "the lower levels, or near the spaceport there's a place. But you have to not look....like...you're on patrol." She hoped he would understand what she meant.

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

Hawk raises an eyebrow at her comment. Did he look like he was on patrol? He was wearing an old smuggling outfit. His actually...had he lose the ability to look causal. Well, he knew how to fix that. He needed a distraction while he went searching. A good cover. Going alone he would stand out. If he took a woman. .. A sexy woman. Yes that would work.

He flashes his most charming smile at Lana, one that made women weak at the knees. "Care to join for a drink and little adventure?"

 

[Leilani Paaie]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

She smiled a bit uneasy, "sure Hawk let's have a drink" her life was adventure every single day he just did not know it. It would be difficult some of the people where they were going would know her, and hopefully they would know to keep their mouths shut.

Smuggling outfit. She wasn't sure of it. But if it was what he wanted it certainly would beat his tutu

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

Hawk could sense her uneasiness. "Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you.." He thought that she was worried about the adventure not that he would find out about her.

"You are safe with me." He wraps his arm around her as they walk to the spaceport bar. "Let's try the spaceport first. Beside shopping, what else have you been doing?" He asks as he makes small talk. He felts himself starting to relax again. Leliani presence in the force was comforting to him. Everything about her just made him relax and feel like himself again.

"People watch" She said without hesitation it was a common habit of hers what she did with the information though might be considered bad form. She smiled over at Hawk, "yes let's start there so many interesting things to see"

Now if she could only send a message saying she would be late. "I'm sure you will Hawk" Yes he would, what else would he do for her

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

"People watching...that fun." as they continue to walk toward the spaceport, the crowds at first were more of a family nature… the closer they got to their destination it turned out to be more of the lowlifes of the galaxy. This was the type place, he would find that Bounty Hunter.

He shifted his arm around Leilani pulling her closer to him. Marking her as his girl. Even without the force, he could tell what the men were thinking about her. One of the guys thought of kidnapping and raping her. Hawk turns his head and glares at the man. The man stumbles away from the bar spilling his drink.

He was pulling her closer thinking he had to protect her she was quite accomplished at protecting himself, but she felt he needed this needed to feel that he was a force to be reckoned with.

"There is a good place to go" She pointed over to the entrance to one of the most frequented Cantina's on Nar Shadaa. The dancers were beautiful, and the drinks flowed.

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

He nods. "Yes let's start there." They walk in the Catina together. The place was filled. Most of the patron were crowd around the stage watching a beautiful Zelton on the stage. "Your prettier." He whispers to Leilani in her ear.

He spots a table opening up toward the back with a view of the stage and door. He takes her hand and leads her to the table. He sits down with his back against the wall. "I just hope I don't run into anyone I know." He tells her.

A sexy waitress wearing a tight low cut shirt and mini skirt came to take their drink order. "Hi honey. What can I get for ya?" Hawk smiles lopsided smile. "Corellian ale."

 

[Leilani Paaie]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

"thank you" he was trying very hard to make sure she knew that he preferred her company, she would not tell him that she was secure in her own skin. She did understand though, they made their way to the table.

A waitress whose clothes were too tight for her was quickly upon them poor dear what she had to do to make tips. "I'll have a glass of wine" Leilani smiled at her. "If you do, you can just say hi to them" if someone came by. The waitress nodded and wiggled off.

She looked around the room, she of course had the same concern that someone she knew would come by. "perhaps an extra chit to the waitress would yield some additional information"

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

Saying hi wasn't the problem. He was more concern with them starting trouble. "It worth a try," he says concerning Leilani idea about offer a chit to the waitress for information.

The waitress returns with their drinks. She leans over Hawk making sure he got an eyeful of her goodies as she place his drink on the table. "Thank you, Brandy." She slide a drink over to Leilani. "Anything else I can help ya with Sugar?" He smiles lopsided at Brandy as he hands her a couple chit. "Just some information." She giggles than tuckes the extra money into her massive cleavage. "Sure..what do you want to know?" She says ruffling his hair.

Hawk bite his tongue trying not to laugh at Brandy flirtation. "I am looking for this type of armor." He shows Brandy an artist rendering of the bounty hunters armor from his vision. "Hmmmmmm...yeah. I have seen that. He comes once a week. Don't know his name...but really big tipper." Hawk thanks Brandy with another chit before she goes off to help another customer.

​

Leilani looked at the armor species across the galaxy wore armor, but this seemed to be specific. If it is mandalorian there would be a specific color and possible a clan mark but she could not see it clearly.

The young waitress seemed to giggle too much when Hawk gave her the chits. Leilani just remained quiet as she watched the interaction, a bit of a sidelong glance from the waitress told Leilani she was nervous, perhaps.

Leilani looked around the cantina once a week, well would they day be today?

"Big tippers want to be remembered Hawk, making the impression so that they get what they want without much fuss. Have you compared that armor to the types available on the galactic database?"

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

"Yeah, it a Mando type armor. It black or dark blue..with green on it. I don't recall a clan marking." He says sounding frustrated with himself. "That the problems with visions..I can only remember so much. I'm swept away with what it telling me that it hard to pay attention to the details." He takes a drink of his ale.

"When I smuggled I didn't have many dealing with Mando..or bounty hunters.. How about you? Have you had many dealing with them?" If she had. He might be able to share his vision with Leilani.

"Mandalorians wouldn't wear blue armor Hawk, there are specific colors and specific reasons for the colors. Green yes it could be." He never dealt with mandalorians well it was a known fact that mandalorians did not particularly like force users, so she could see why he wouldn't.

I've had a few dealings with them, they are quite a remarkable people. Why do you ask? Oh she knew why he asked he needed information, that she might have gained from her dealings with them.
