The Crown Prime Casino, VIP Area (Casino Bar, PM to join)

[Crocell]

The Crown Prime Casino; VIP Lounge - Casino Bar

Located within the Casino Bar of the Crown Prime Casino, entry into the area is tightly controlled. The VIP lounge is reserved for individuals who prove the proper authentication, and have been approved to meet with "Management"; whether under the pretense of legitimate business, or by connection through Underworld Contacts.

Security is high, and the area is guarded by no less than 4 well-armed & suited blank-faced men with cold eyes and hidden weapons. A powerful camera monitors the entrance, which is marked by a red marquee at the rear of the bar. The door is locked, and may only be opened after speaking with the bartender - who operates the door by remote. As the area is within the Casino's secure section, most guests will not enter the location armed, but the guards can (and will) search any visitors entering the area. Not even presenting an official waiver signed by the Casino will grant entry to someone carrying a weapon.

Within, the area is beautifully decorated & lit by soft lighting. A private server is on hand; a human woman, blonde haired & blue eyed, will provide drinks & smokes free of charge. A fire roars quietly in a nearby fire place, and the seating is exceedingly comfortable. Soft music, classical in style, plays over hidden speakers.

Ivory Stroud, Caporegime of the Family, occupies this area and utilizes it as her personal meeting space. She will be notified immediately upon the arrival of any guest into the VIP area.

Recieving the invite was....peculiar? Stardust was unsure of how she would put it, however she could only guess it was either because of her royal status or because of her being contacted to that arms dealer, thinking about it she wondered how he was doing, she would check later on him right now she had the opportunity to meet who she needed and get the right contacts. Entering the little VIP area wearing a dress she felt suited the setting stardust stopped and looked to the invite again

After reading it she nodded and made her way to the bar tender,

I'm here to see Ms. Stroud, tell her its queen skirae of zeltros

The man nodded and directed stardust to sit and wait, taking a small glass of wine she took a quiet seat alone, she hadn't a need for anyone to come with her as she herself could defend herself if needed but...she wasnt expecting trouble in fact she was hoping the opposite of that. After a few minutes the man came back and asked for her to follow, she stood following the man as they came to those marvelous door. Two security personal came up and did a check over her body for any weapon. She had the foresight to change her right arm out before coming to this place rather not having that be a issue. After another few minutes before nodding and asked her to take a seat while they informed of her arrival

Now stardust stood waiting patiently

Toward the back of the room, conveniently overlooked in the soft lighting and fine decor, a door opened - the VIP Area's private server, a blonde-haired woman dressed all in black, glanced up but returned to her duties, seeing that a familiar face had entered the lounge.

A gorgeous woman with long black hair, cut in an inventive & unique mohawk-style cut with one side of her head completely shaved, stepped into the lounge. She was dressed in a soft cream-colored blouse and matching trousers, classy and beautiful - her shoes, expensive heels which gave her a small rise in height. She wore a number of pieces of jewelry, including a small purple stone which sparkled with its' own internal light which hung on a chain around her neck - if her Twi'lek guest were familiar with such things, she'd recognize the stone to be a purple Kyber Crystal. The woman also possessed a number of piercings which included her sternum, lip, nose, and ears, and each contained silver jewelry which looked both simple & quite expensive.

Violet eyes, as lively as the stone which hung about her neck, sought out [member="Stardust Australis Skirae"], approaching her at a casual pace...

The raven-haired Femme Fatale moved with grace and sensuality, self-assured & powerful.

"Good evening, Lady Skirae", she began once she'd reached her guest, offering a bright smile and a respectful bow of her head. "Welcome to the Crown Prime Casino. My name is Ivory... Thank you for joining us here, this evening."

Soft music played through hidden speakers, and the room was empty save for the two of them as its' only occupants, minus the woman behind the bar... but she did not matter. She would see & say nothing.

a pleasure to meet you ivory, a honor it is to be at this wonderful hotel

She spoke bowing her head a little lower then ivorys a way to show respect to whose place this was, rising she looked her right in the eyes before taking in her appreance. Very classy lady judging by her clothing with bueaty to match, however what caught her eye was that kyber crystal hanging from her neck, looking back up into her eyes

I will admit I was not expecting any invitations anytime at all but it is not unwelcome if anything more then welcome as it gets me away from my duties and allows me a bit of free time

And if everything was right, the woman before her was part of the family, a group her friend candez was a part of, hence why she was here...to have a possibility of getting there help or maybe offering her services...either way she needed to focus on this now

may I have some wine please? Naboooan if possible

Ivory stood, hands clasped before her at an easy rest. She was aware as the Twi'lek woman's eyes traced her figure, just as she'd done upon approaching the woman. Ivory found her to be quite attractive, and obviously no stranger to a lifestyle of danger. The Crime Lord considered her reply carefully, giving [member="Stardust Australis Skirae"] her full attention as she spoke of getting away from the rigors of Command; a vacation from the demands of her station.

"My Lady, it is truly an honor that you've accepted. I hope we may provide limitless opportunities for your entertainment... I highly recommend a visit to the theatre on level 3, one level above; this evening, we are hosting a delightful rendition of "Maximilion The Great", a production by the Alderaanian Writer's Guild." Ivory gave a genuine smile, gazing into her Twi'lek companion's eyes.. Strong & capable, concealing a fearsome intellect behind a facade of civility. Ivory was no simple criminal; she had not gained such a place without sacrifice - something Lady Skirae would be sure to understand.

"Of course you may..." Ivory responded to the woman's request for wine, glancing behind her toward the blonde woman at the private bar behind and nearby - the woman had been watching Ivory since the Crime Lord had entered the room, and at Ivory's signal of two raised fingers, immediately galvanized into action. The woman (her nametag bore her title as "Sia"), prepared drinks for the two women.

Ivory returned her attention toward her guest with a smile. "Please, join me... I'm sure your visit to the Crown Prime is not merely a social call." She said, offering an open hand toward two chairs nearby in a secluded section of the lounge. The dim lighting and peaceful ambience lent itself well to private conversation; in this place, they needn't worry about being disturbed, and Ivory would be willing to hear whatever her guest had to say. If Star accepted, Ivory would lead the way to the chairs and take a seat, allowing the Twi'lek Queen to sit across from her.

Their drinks would arrive shortly.

She bore scars on her face, what parts of her skin was seen showed off a few places that was scarred. Her eyes were strong yet apparent hey had seen many many things, horrors of war to birth of a newborn and in between, green eyes gazed back into the purple lively ones of ivory

you know it has been years since I've seen a play, certainly maybe I shall watch it after I am done here, maybe you'd like to attend with me if your not to busy?

Stardust knew those eyes of ivorys, they were so similar to her own, one that held such power and intellect hiding behind the mask of being someone simple. True that star was not anyone simple and through her years and even while gaining her position had sacrificed so much but with it came the fruits of labor

hmmm...good at reading people or noticing someone's intentions my compliments, but yes and no its partly a social call and part business but let's sit and talk standing is tiresome even if its still a wonderful conversation

Following ivory the twilek took a seat and got comfortable, moving her seat up to the table she looked back to her gracious host

we know many things are within motions in the galaxy, different groups vying for power and more land. If what I hear is right....

Stardust considered her next words, she wouldnt directly throw her unlikely ally to the curb he was supplying her with weapons

not only is this your lovely casino but you head a organization called the family, now if im wrong I apologize greatly if not maybe you can let me humor you a bit more

 

[Crocell]

Ivory could not help but smile, choosing to ignore the Twi'lek's offer to join her for the play - Ivory might attend, certainly, but to do so in a way as-to draw attention to herself would be... unwise. The raven-haired woman sat, one leg crossed over the other and her palms in-front of her, fingers interlaced as she listened to her companion explain her visit was not only business, but also pleasure. She was also aware, at least in passing, of the Twi'lek's connections throughout the Galaxy...

It was why they'd sent the invitation in the first place.

However [member="Stardust Australis Skirae"] had come across the information naming the group Ivory was associated it, Ivory was unconcerned, as it made little difference what Lady Skirae might know or not. The Capo for the Family would not have allowed this meeting to take place if she did not trust the woman - and to gain trust, one must show it first.

Ivory merely offered a permissive wave of her hand in Stardust's direction, indicating that she continue. She would neither confirm nor deny anything. Ivory's continued presence would give the woman everything she needed to know.

"You have my attention."

Bowing her head she got everything she needed from the capos reaction. Adjusting herself a bit she looked right into those purple eyes

I wish to offer my services as queen, and as a warrior. There are people within this galaxy that threaten what I care for...and I believe would threaten your people as well...the sith empire for a great example

Letting her words settle in she sat back and offered a friendly smile, knowing the risk of working with a criminal organization such as a family could put her in a bind... but sometimes you had to reach out to those you didnt think could be a ally

whether you accept or not, will not hurt me at all, I will simply go about my day and enjoy the casino and its attractions

Ivory said nothing, allowing her Twi'lek companion to speak without interruption. Slender fingers took hold of the glass which had been brought to her, lifting it to her lips and sipping the strong Correllian Bourbon she so-loved - its' flavor evoking memories of charred wood, camping beneath the stars, and friends long-since-passed. The raven-haired woman swished the liquor around in her mouth, coating her tongue in the soft amber nectar before swallowing.

She set the glass down, and the sparkle of rainbow lighting which flashed overhead occasionally caught the crystal, reflecting a thousand diamonds.

"As a warrior, certainly, your skills would not be wasted - but as a Queen?" The question was, of course, rhetorical; she paused, speaking with her hands, "Friendship is, of course, a two-way street... At this time, we have little to do with some of The Galaxy's more unpredictable residents, but in the future, that might certainly change. Tell me... what can you do for us?"

Steadily, she watched Star's facial features, holding eye contact without difficulty. She was familiar with the woman's reputation and assumed she would not have come to Coruscant, to this place, without something of value to offer.

Offering a chuckle stardust took the glass that wa spaced before her and stirred the liquid a bit letting the lovey red nabooian wine swirl a bit before bringing the glass to her lips and sipping the sweet alcohol and sighed out as she sat the glass down looking back to those purple eyes

what can I do for you...hmmm...money i can imagine is a trivial thing considering where we are now, man power no doubt I can imagine you've quite a good amount, so that leaves one thing any criminal organization needs....safe places places to hide out and lay low...I can offer a turn of the eye granted you dont raise any hell on zeltros with that of course should you need my...expertise of combat either applied or teaching I'll be on call

With that she relaxed back and took her glass taking a sip out of it, this was a game for sure a back and forth thing, truly she hoped what she offered would please the capo

 

[Crocell]

Ivory listened to [member="Stardust Australis Skirae"]'s offer, considering well her companion's interests. For the woman to provide safe haven in a galaxy growing ever-more-dangerous was quite valuable indeed... and an offer of support in a more physical sense was quite the prize. Ivory looked the twi'lek woman over, finding her figure ruggedly beautiful... She was obviously a force to be reckoned with, and would be a valuable ally indeed.

"I admit..." The Crime Lord began, "That a safe haven on Zeltros would be quite valuable. The Family operates first with discretion - we have no desire whatsoever to make life difficult for ourselves and our allies." She explained this while speaking with her hands, gesturing to encompass the two of them, the room, and the Galaxy as a whole.

"Your offer is quite unexpected... and quite favorable." Ivory offered a smile, her perfect teeth shining in the soft ambient lighting of the lounge. "And in return, The Family welcomes you..."

Leaning forward, the raven-haired vixen offered a hand to [member="Stardust Australis Skirae"].

"Should you require anything at all, please do not hesitate to speak with one of my associates... It is not likely we'll see each-other much, but I can be reached if there's something I can do for you personally. Thank you, Lady Skirae. I hope you enjoy your stay with us."

Stardust eyed the woman, a glint of green shining from her eyes as she gave a smile listening to the lovely lady before her speaking as she nodded. Setting up and eyes her a bit then looked to her hand extending it in a firm handshake

like wise, do not be afraid to call me for anything even if it's just a social call

Offering another smile she stood and bowed

till next time ivory

Her hand lingered then she turned walking out of the little private area and out into the casino disappearing into the crowd...happy her goal was accomplished
