Zeltrons Gone Wild! (PM for invite)

[Armand Temi]

As they approached Zeltros, Dak turned to Krevin, her Twi'lek bodyguard and said, "Look at that beautiful planet."

"Are you feeling nostalgic?" he asked.

She frowned and checked the ship console for Zeltros Standard time. "No, silly it's the middle of the day."

Krevin rolled his eyes and said. "NOT nocturnal, Vac-head. Nostaligic. Do you miss your home planet?" Dak blinked and considered the question. "Yeah, I guess." she said, fiddling with the ship's controls. And it was true. She did miss Zeltros sometimes. Now that she was a member of the Red Ravens she didn't get to visit her homeland nearly as much as she wanted to. She didn't miss her family. The Maker only knew where the kark those dirty gypsies were. But she did miss some of her friends and the nightlife. So much that she had arranged a big party so that she could spend time with her favorite pals - while at the same time picking up a fresh batch of glitterstim from her longtime dealer, which is what brought her back to Zeltros in the first place.

As they headed into a public docking station on autopilot, Dak looked over at Krevin and felt an unfamiliar pang of guilt. She really hadn't wanted to bring her bodyguard but her boss, [member="Cryax Bane"] had insisted. Dak didn't suspect she was a marked woman, but Bane warned her that her "profile was higher now that she was in the Raven's clan and he didn't want to receive a package later containing her body parts." Aw, shucks. It was the closest thing to praise that she would get from him so she listened to his advice.

But she knew that this trip may be hard on Krevin. He had gotten more attached to her than an appendage. They had spent a lot of nights in her ship bunk with their own special kind of interspecies exploration. But he could eat munk if he decided to sulk around in the background like a spurned lover at the first sign of her flirting.

As the ship parked, she perused the text messages on her datapad. One came back from a fun-loving friend named Genovia. She wanted to be an actress but mostly spent her time as a sugar-baby hunting for rich, handsome Zeltrons, humans or near-humans to financially support her. She was forever sending Dak the profiles of her wealthy prey to evaluate. Genovia was helping her plan the homecoming party:

Dak pulled up the formal invite which looked something like this:

[member="Jack Rand"]
[member="Nimue Stormson"]

Rules: No fighting or bounty hunting. And above all have fun!

[Nimue Stormson]

It had only been a few days since her leave from Effekt but already the Empress Nimue was enjoying everything on the new perspective of the galaxy. Having already traveled to some planets and partaking in their culture she realized how much richer and diverse the galaxy was; so much different in size, shape and scope from her small planet lost in the Outer Rim systems. And already, as it had seemed, word had spread of the Empress’ tour of the galaxy and her want to see all possible sights and meet as many new races as she could.​

​

During her shuttle ride from the Republic’s homeworld she’d received an odd text from someone named [member="Dakita Calfur"] . An invitation to a party on the planet Zeltros it seemed. This excited her since usually she was usually the one to send invites to others and have they attend her parties. Apparently this Dakita, as Nimue soon learned, was a member of the Red Ravens, a group whos name she’d heard of. Knowing the president of the crime organization it was clear that this must have been some sort of extension from one of his comrades to her. And to think she was almost ready to visit the Raven capital world before this message arrived. Either way this was sure to be grand.​

​

Telling her provided pilot where to go next he made the jump from where they were all the way to Zeltros, a quick and easy trip. During that time the Empress had to decide what to wear for such a party. Apparently her guide-droid, a silver protocol model, had told of Zeltros being something of a “party planet” that may not have had the familiar standards the Empress would expect. It didn’t matter to her as she wanted to be exposed to traditions and the like outside of what she knew.​

​

Finally she’d settled on a dark green dress, which suited her fine, before her provided guards, two brawny men, had told her they had arrived. The Empress, too excited for words, had stepped out and taken her first look around the planet of Zeltros. As she did she realized she wasn't sure where the party was being held. ​

​

[Aleksandyr Gaillard]

Aleksandyr entered the scene, but unlike last time was not accompanied by an assortment of Twi'lek. No he had decided to come alone; just escaping the carnage above Makeb. A party was the best way to soothe the mind for the young CEO. Wasting no time he walked his way past the the first two floors before going to the VIP bouncer. Ensuring he did not stop, he made a moderately sized donation to the venue in the form of a 1,000 credit chit; then ventured his way on inside.

"Drink, please.", he said -- being procured a drink he looked into the clear highly alcoholic liquid and thought on some things. "To Gen! On a happy election.", he drunk the liquid and set the glass down. Hopefully it would be a quiet night and perhaps he could gain some company in the process.

 

[Armand Temi]

Dak checked into a swank hotel right by Club Frenzy to get ready. She planned on wearing a purple leotard because things were going go get wet and wild with all of the bubbles, suds and day-glo paint but then she received a text marked "urgent" from Cryax Bane's assistant Frab that read:

need 2 show [member="Nimue Stormson"] a good time 2nite
anything she wants. VIP all the way.
her first time on Zeltros. she is ROYALTY tho so keep her away
from riff-raff

Bantha Balls, she needed something nicer to wear then. She pulled a sparkly dress out of her suitcase and had Krevin iron it which caused much protest from the Twi'lek. Bet when he joined the Red Ravens as security detail he didn't think he'd be ironing her clothing. To add insult to injury while he performed this menial duty, she strutted around in her underwear, fishnet leggings and stilettos, texting, dancing and putting on makeup. After curling her hair, she applied some gel to make it look messy again. Then Dak walked over to the hotel window and peeked out at the Club. It was still early but staff was setting up the velvet ropes outside and bouncers began directing early guests off to the side. She smiled, put one leg up on the bed seductively and doused herself with perfume.

"Help me on with my dress, Pateesa," she said. "I need to be there early for once."

 

[Jack Rand]

[member="Dakita Calfur"] [member="Aleksandyr Gaillard"] [member="Nimue Stormson"]

Jack wore simple clothes, just an undershirt and t-shirt. He hadn't been to a party in a long time, so he hoped that news of this wouldn't reach any of the other Republic officers. Jack was here on break and man did he love his breaks on Zeltros, if he had it his way he would never leave this planet. Jack casually walked into the building and went up to the front desk to get his way into the party. He would do all the necessary checks or whatever.

(Anybody want to bump into Jack feel free to )

 

[Nimue Stormson]

Needing to double check with her guard Nimue realized the party was being held at a place called the Club Frenzy. To the empress it sounded like as odd and yet inviting a place as any. Insistently she ordered the men show her the way, the two of them sighing on the fact they were saddled with a woman who had no real understanding of the universe and what was in store for her once she arrived at the club.​

​

Still it was their job to keep her safe while helping her out so they lead her to the club. Arriving she could see it was a very lively place. The zeltron people, amazing to look at as they were, seemed a very free and spirited type of people as well. The way the music played and the types of dresses the number of people going in and out wore had intrigued the empress.​

​

“Well, not’s keep them waiting.” She said before hooking her arms around both of the strong men as if they were dates. “Shall we, boys?”​

​

Her confident tone and her insistence had been enough to make the two shrug before deciding to play along. Walking with her arm-in-arm the empress approached the front of the line into the club. Some people made rude comments, the Empress sneering at them, before telling the bouncer in front how she was invited. Dropping Dak’s name and the fact she was an empress was enough to gain her access.​

​

So Nimue was in. Now it was time to see what it was like in a Zeltron club. She started making her way to the front desk of the place in order to find out where ceritan people she intended to see were. That was when she'd caught sight of a rather handsome looking man.​

​

[member="Jack Rand"] [member="Dakita Calfur"]​

 

[Garik Reed]

Val had started the party a bit early to say the least. He was wearing his normal, grungy Corellian clothes. However, he had smoothed the wrinkles out of them for the party. Kinda. He took a swig from his canteen, and tucked into his jacket. He walked into the building, and up to the front desk. He looked over at [member="Jack Rand"] while he fumbled to get his invitation on. He held it out to the person at the desk. "Pssstt...." Val loud whispered. "Want some?" He held out the canteen to Jack, smiling as he did so.

 

[Armand Temi]

Dak checked her watch. There was no time to make a grand entrance and she needed to hustle to get to the Club. Baby-stepping up the street in the highest stilettos, she crossed over to the entrance of Frenzy and was relieved to see the line to get in was already snaking down the street. She smiled at the front door bouncers who let her and Krevin inside. She went past the coat check and into the first floor cocktail lounge where she promptly ordered a Flameout in day-glo blue. Sipping the drink she heard the music from the back of where the foam dance club was and her first urge was to run back there and take a flying leap into the crowd to get covered in foam. But bleeding kark, the Empress was right here on the first floor. She needed to get her to the VIP lounge on floor three and STAT!

Dak approached Empress Stormson and her muscle-men and said, "Empress Stormson, I'm Dak from the Red Ravens." She wasn't sure whether to bow or curtsy or what the frell you did around royalty so she bit her lip and swept her hand out show-girl style. "The VIP lounge is right this way." As she tried to make eye contact with the Empress she noticed that the gorgeous monarch had her eye on a certain human.

[Cryax Bane]

Cryax Bane loved a good Zeltron party. However his attendance tonight at Club Frenzy wasn't strictly a chance to get covered in silly string and gorked out of his mind on glitterstim. He had financial interests in helping his employee [member="Dakita Calfur"] extend the club into a franchise with the hopes of putting one on Antecedent. His persuasive presence was required in case the owner of Club Frenzy needed a little convincing, and by convincing, Bane meant extorting with threats of grievous harm to the owner's friends and family.

Cryax wore an elegant pin-striped three piece suit, which probably seemed a hair out of place in a club where most people were wearing day glow thongs. Security droids in tow, the Chiss crime boss entered the club, his sensitive ears assaulted by the drum and bass thumping. He had invited his boyfriend [member="Jalek Sathora"] who, knowing the Morellian slicer, would arrive annoyingly late and full of terrible excuses.

His red alien orbs scanned the room as he inspected the scene. Although the club was packed with bodies, a few beautiful male humans ([member="Val Cardin"] and [member="Jack Rand"]) caught his eye, their pale skin standing out amongst the pink-skinned near humans. He also spied Empress [member="Nimue Stormson"], looking gorgeous in a sparkling hunter green dress. However, the Chiss would have to greet the Empress later on in the evening for the next familiar face he saw turned his smile into a scowl. He noticed the unmistakable profile of [member="Aleksandyr Gaillard"] scurrying upstairs to the VIP room. Cryax had a bone to pick with the young CEO since he'd heard his voice over his commlink on Makeb during a rebel attack. His hope? That Aleksandr was merely present during the insurgency to make sure his would-be business parter and his assets were safe, and not there to somehow assist the instigators of riots in Talaos City. He would hate to see something bad happen to his good friend Aleksandr.

Cryax made a beeline for the upstairs VIP room, and as he barged his way in, the club's bouncer recognized the Chiss from the Holonews and stepped aside. Smart man. Red eyes narrowed, the Chiss approached Aleksandr and grabbing him by the shoulder, hauled the man to a booth, roughly shoving him into a seat. As he slid in next to the young businessman, he jabbed a blue-skinned finger in the other man's face and hissed, "Makeb. Explain. NOW."

 

[Nimue Stormson]

The sudden mention of her name had made Nimue stop and look before seeing the zeltron girl arrive. Once she’d introduced herself as Dakita from the Ravens, the one who’d sent her the message/invite in the first. The two men had been ready to pounce of the zeltron girl had she been after the Empress, but a conformation from Nimue was enough to calm them.​

​

She stepped forward and said “Greetings to you, Lady Calfur. Thank you so much for the invitation.” Given the way Dak had swept her hand Nimue, not fully understanding, only bowed her head to her before saying “This planet has proven to be quiet amazing. I enjoy your people’s ways.” When she mentioned about a VIP lounge Nimue, perking with more interest, said “Then let’s be off. ‘m eager to start the celebrations.”​

​

[member="Dakita Calfur"]​

 

[Paige Argous]

[member="Dakita Calfur"]

Paige was having a great time at Club Frenzy. Maybe it was because she was already semi-drunk, but the foam dance floor turned out to be a lot more fun than she had thought. A bright pink bikini was her only outfit for the evening. She didn't want to wear a dress just to have it get covered in foam, after all. Not really caring that she was half-covered in foam, the blonde danced away to the beat of the music.

The blonde had been in Zeltros for a long time now. Weeks, months, years maybe? She wasn't sure, she didn't bother keeping track of time. She just simply showed up to wherever the party was. Drinking and partying was her job here basically, and perhaps trying out some new spice once in a while. The blonde girl knew that she used to do something greater than just drinking and partying, but the past wasn't important now. In fact, Paige had lost her old name somewhere along the way. She had sometimes had some pretty strong doses of various spice, and at one point she wasn't able to recall her name accurately. So she went by whatever people seemed to call her, which was usually just Paige.

"Didn't you say Dakita was going to be here?" she asked her Zeltron friend Genovia, her voice barely audible over the loud music.

 

[Aleksandyr Gaillard]

"I didn't know you were into that sort of thing...", he said in response to being shoved into a booth. Aleksandyr wasn't in the mood to be coy, however. "You should be careful, Cryax. Whatever you're thinking, best stop.", he was being quite serious too, something Aleksandyr did rarely. The CEO was almost always one for games and slyness but this time he was being straight with the Crime Lord.

"I Spoke to you, yes? That's it. What do you think -- That I can't find out about a rebellion? That you're the only one who ever knows anything? This is a big galaxy.", he said, taking out a small data chit. The device was usually to hold information or things like that.

"Here you go.", he tossed the small chit to Cryax, it was something that went into a datapad and on it was plans for a new stealth-version of his Nova-series line of starships. "I was going to ask you to help me with this.", he said, well before Cryax had a chance to look at it - if he did.

[member="Cryax Bane"].

 

[Armand Temi]

"Follow me," Dak said, slinking past the Empress and her human shields. She looked at the stairs in front of them and then looked back at the Empress. "Let's take the elevator, shall we?" As they made their way to the lift, Dak smiled. Nimue had called her a "lady." I could get used to this, thought Dak and being referred to as Lady Dak made her feel more refined than she normally did. It had an excellent ring to it.

The elevator let out the two females with bodyguards right out into the VIP area. More bouncers stood like sentinels guarding this pay-to-play area where once you entered, the finest liquor, alcohol, ale, spice and escorts were there for the using and abusing. Right away Dak could see that there was a commotion in one of the booths. Kark! She was supposed to keep the Empress away from the riff-raff! Dak pushed past the bouncers and clicked over in her high heel shouting, "Chuba! What do you think you're doing!" Then as she could see two more bodyguards emerging from the shadows, she realized the guest she was yelling at was her boss Cryax Bane. He was in the middle of giving a verbal tongue-lashing to a handsome and well-dressed human who she hadn't met.

Dak put her hands up don't-shoot style and backed away rolling her eyes at Bane's security who were fairly trigger-happy to begin with. She went back over to Empress Stormson and said, "Make yourself comfortable. The staff will get you anything you need. Cryax Bane is over there." She jerked a thumb at her boss. "I'm sure he'll make time for you the minute he's done with his...haha, business." She tried to screen the Empress from seeing Bane so hot under the collar but she could feel his rage burning from across the room.

[Nimue Stormson]

Nodding the Empress followed, as did her men, into the elevator. She had to admit it was a little cramped, given the two muscular men, but it had pushed her a little closer to the zeltron girl. She didn’t mind. In fact she’d looked over and smirked at her as they rode the way up. There had been talk of how zeltrons released a type of pheromone that made them attractive to almost any species. Nimue could see why.​

​

Once they’d exited the empress tepped out with [member="Dakita Calfur"] and followed further on to the VIP area. Given how distracted she was by both the use of the elevator and the music, while seeing all the people about, Nimue didn’t see as Dak was dealing with Cryax Bane’s little problem with another guest. By the time she’d looked back Dak had told her to make herself comfortable.​

​

She nodded and thanked her before finding a place to sit. Finding a seat overlooking the other floors the empress took a seat over near the balcony before ordering a drink. When he’d asked what she wanted the empress demanded the strongest thing she could get. Given that response he shrugged before walking off to get what she wanted.​

​

As she waited Nimue looked down at all the people partying about. It seemed so fun and yet she wondered why it was separated from everyone up in the VIP section. On her planet this sort of thing tended to be normal. People dancing in a crazy manner to loud music. Usually it was preparation for war or something of the sort but here it was something else. Just a means of partying it seemed.​

​

Finally her drink arrived, a bottle of whisky with a tray that had a small glass at the ready. Seeing it she gave a confused look before asking “What is this? So small a glass and you expect me to drink from it?” The waiter tried to explain but she waved him off before taking the bottle in one hand and saying “The only way to have any real drink is straight from the bottle.”​

​

Given that Nimue’s people drank was ale and wine she had no idea what she was in for.​

​

[member="Paige Argous"]​

​

(Drunk Empress Nimue? Oh this is going to be fun. )​

 

[Cryax Bane]

As seizure-inducing strobe lights flashed across the blue face of the Chiss, jaw clenched and teeth bared, Cryax stared at Aleksandr. The flirty tone that the Chiss had used in previous meetings with the CEO was nearly non-existent. Alek's answer was too evasive for his own good. Cryax had no proof that Alek had been doing anything malicious on Makeb, but there was something very suspicious about his little congratulatory call that came in when the Red Ravens had beat back their opposition.

"If there's anyone that needs to be careful here, Mr. Gaillard, it's you. Believe me, I am not the crime boss you want to piss off." Meaning that in two minutes Cryax could have Gaillard kneeling before a Yuuzhan Vong overlord, but of course the Chiss wasn't going to speak those words aloud. His chest rose and fell as he huffed angrily. "Whatever game you're playing, you're out of your league by light years."

Cryax whipped his head around with a feral glare, as a woman's voice barked a Huttese insult in his direction. It was Dakita who was very wisely walking away slowly from the crime boss. He would deal with her later.

He turned back towards Aleksandr who tossed a little device at him. Catching the Datachit that was flung his way, Cryax blinked his eyes at it, then held it up in front of his face. "I don't have time to look at this right now. Just cut the kark and tell me what it is."

[member="Dakita Calfur"] [member="Aleksandyr Gaillard"]

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Who in the blue hell had invited him to this party?

Josh hadn't been back in the galaxy's picture long. But yet, here he was being invited to wars, royal balls, and now... A party on Zeltros.

On one hand, Josh didn't want to see this planet ever again. On the other hand, it would be rude to refuse. And so, he sucked it up and would decide to come, making note of Zeltros's... Pheromone problem.

He would show to this... Party, decked out in a white dress shirt. Nothing much else fancy, really. Black pants and steel toed boots, and armor under every layer of clothing on his body. He would look around in hopes of someone he knew.

 

[Aleksandyr Gaillard]

"It's your ticket. I'm sure you're well aware that familiar enemies are reappearing, I'm working on a new line of ships; unlike anything the galaxy has ever seen before. Let's just say I'm going to make the Vong's work look like child's play.", his voice growled the words.

He leaned in closer, making sure that despite the lights -- his two artificial eye implants could zone onto his red glowing orbs. "I'm not your enemy, and you shouldn't be so ready to question my loyalties, but then again I owe you nothing -- remember that. I have given you good faith before; before I even asked you for anything in return and didn't hold it against you.", he retorted. Aleksandyr wasn't angry with the Chiss but he did seem rather disappointed. Perhaps power was going to the Crime Lord's Head.

Alek wasn't lying, perhaps stretching the truth a bit and leaving out information, but technically he did not do anything betraying of deals or interests. Rather he balanced the odds on Makeb but the results wouldn't have been much different; if he wanted to he could've intervened in the fight between Lysle and Gen, or attempted to strike against the Chiss directly. He just caused collateral damage.

[member="Cryax Bane"]

 

[Armand Temi]

Dak made sure the Empress was situated before she went back down. She watched as [member="Nimue Stormson"] grabbed the bottle and drank straight from the mouth of it. Yep, that'll do. She was fitting right in on Zeltros.

Dak took the stairs back down to greet guests as they came up, Krevin still at close at her back. Once she was on the first floor, she turned to the cute Twi'lek and said, "Scram Krev. You're cramping my style tonight. People think you're my boyfriend." He snorted and pulled his coat open to reveal his blaster. "There is no question that I'm protecting you, Pateesa." She rolled her eyes and quickly checked her datapad for texts. She looked up at the Twi'lek again and in a softer voice said, "Go on. Have fun tonight. You don't need to stick with me. I won't get into trouble here. There are only friends here." He reluctantly went over to the bar and ordered a drink, eyes scanning the crowd for other pretty Zeltrons to flirt with. And there were always many of them at Club Frenzy. Four Zeltron females for every one male or so it seemed.

Genovia had texted her that she was here with their friend [member="Paige Argous"] and that the two Zeltrons were already partying it up on the Foam Dance Floor. There was also a text from [member="Cryax Bane"], via his assistant Frab, asking her to show a new Raven a good time. She sneered at her boss's text. Bane was infamous for throwing his female Ravens in front of recruits and enemies alike as if they were slabs of Rancor bait.

She saw two humans together at the end of the bar so she went over to them and asked, "Are either of you [member="Val Cardin"]?"

[Nimue Stormson]

It wasn’t too long before the drink was starting to get to the Empress’ head. She felt the whole world slowly turn upside down as everything almost spun around her. After it settled, however, Nimue had a more playful grin on her as she seemed to wobble a little in her movement.​

​

Nimue had been drunk before but that was on Effektian ale. It was a strong brew to be sure but that could be drunk down in three or four cups before anyone would feel the side effects from too much guzzling. This alien brew she had was obviously made of something stronger.​

​

Looking around at how uneventful it seemed up in the VIP room Nimue stood and said “Deep hells with this. I was invited to a party. So I intend to party!” She started walking over to the elevator, keeping her hand on one of the rails as she did, before saying “You boys can take off for the night. Unless you prefer to come dance with *hick* me.”​

​

“Uh, I think you need to sit down for a bit, your majesty.” One of them said. “I think you had a little too much in one sit.”​

​

She scoffed at him and slurred a little “I’m an empress of Effekt. I think I can handle one bottle of…whisky. Yes, that;s what it was.” She did, however, pull off her hroned crown and tossed it to him, saying “Guard THAT with your life. If anything happens to it I’ll cut your hands off and feed them to the *hick* dogs. Or whatever they have on this planet.”​

​

She followed up with a slurred laugh before getting in the elevator and pushing down for the bottom floor where the foam dance was. As she road down she bobbed her whole body to the tune, not fully realizing what she was doing or how silly she might have appeared. To a drunken empress, however, anyone wouldn’t.​

​

Once she arrived back on the bottom floor, making her way into the dance floor, she declared “Your Empress has arrived!”​
