The Twins (Open)

[Cailst]

"It was nice to meet you, bye." He said giving a slight wave and departing.

Despite the lack of groceries in that part of Coruscant, he felt he could find some other store that would supply basic food. After all, bars couldn't feed everyone, could they?

 

[Imperial]

Redreath turned another corner, his face a mask of frustration to those who could read the emotions of the Lizard-like Barabel. If you couldn't he just looked angry. He had reason to be, he had been wondering the concrete jungle that was lower Coruscant. Redreath had never gotten used to the cities, they being far to crowded and full of dark corners then was comfortable for the 7 foot Barabel.

Redreath passed a few people chatting outside a bar as he kept searching for what he was looking for oblivious to the stares he got from passersby. He turned another corner into a curved alleyway, a would be mugger jumped out from the shadows ready to pounce yet whistled a soft tune and walked away once he saw who his target was. Redreath was unimpressed. His life was dictated by Honour and tradition for which this mugger knew neither.

Redreath stepped up his pace and after several more minutes ended up in a very familiar street. Looking around he saw the same people outside the bar, two of them twins.

This was the final straw for his patience and he let off a low growl of frustration sacrificing honour in a public display of emotion. His tail swayed threateningly as he thought to himself, things couldn't possibly get worse.

Dagan turned, seeing the huge lizard man, for some reason angry, staring at his oblivious sisters. He drew his pistol, attaching the surpressor, rendering shots almost silent as he moved to a better vantage point, scaling a wall onto a window ledge. It would not end well for the lizardman if he was violent. NEVER fight a Valtiere.

 

[Imperial]

Even before he finished hissing the last of his anger Redreath knew he was in trouble. Redreath told himself it was primal instinct, yet wiser men would realize the presence of the force.

Redreath stood straight, his face impassive but with a glint of curiosity in his eyes. With no one insight the potential danger would come from afar. Yet what act had he committed that would draw such a response?

Then it became apparent. He had growled in the direction of the only other people in the street. The Twins. They were important enough to warrant silent protection. Redreath, no longer consumed by frustration was able think and smell clearly.

Turning away from the twins he looked into the inky blackness behind him, attempting to sniff out whoever lay hidden. But whoever was there did not concern Redreath, what he needed was information and these twins who were escorted so proficiently may just give him what he after.

Lucius had already had a long evening by the time he'd got to this sector, been drinking a bit two sectors up, and hopped an air taxi to find his way back to the apartment he'd been holding for all of about two weeks, interesting thing being that in ones first night of actual drunkenness on a new planet it made it quite difficult to find your way around. Currently oblivious to his exact whereabouts he found himself turning another corner, that looked the same as the last, only this one was occupied, even at this hour.

There standing not half a block down were two nearly identical women, and a giant of a Barabel, at least he thought there were two of them, he could have very easily been mistaken, for that sake the lizard could not be their either, he'd some time ago lost track of what he was actually drinking, and was now partially relying on the rifle in his left hand for balance as well as protection.

A few steps more and he impacted something that was plainly not there.

"E Chu Ta!" he exclaimed wildly stumbling backwards, and bringing his rifle to train on the invisible thing.

 

[Will]

((Yeah, like hell you're up where i am))

A man had randomly walked onto the windowledge Dagan was inhabiting. He turned, backhanding the man off the thin ledge. The Stealth field meant no sound at all, making him impossible to detect, only by scent. Damn fool. He trained his pistol on the lizardman, making sure he did nothing stupid.

 

[Darth Nyne]

OOC: the man is drunk right now, I can make it work without having stumbled into you actually, I must have missed the windowledge while I was trying to get up to date on the thread, I'll post my fix and you can revise yours if you'd like.

IC: His vision finally caught up with him, his rifle was trained slightly above the head of a broken down utility droid, what a fool he felt at this point. Resting back against the weapon again, he looked down the street to the duo and the large lizard still standing, whether they were conversing or not he wasn't sure, he couldn't quite make out anything distinctive about them anymore, the girls looked generally the same in shape, and the Barabel was unmistakable, or was it a Trandoshan, it was definitely lizardlike.

Shaking his head he started off in the direction of the three, perhaps he'd at least find someplace to sit, if he couldn't find a way back to his apartment from here.

 

[Will]

((I guess just ignore my previous post.))

...
Another intruder. His sisters always seemed to attract menfolk. He drew another pistol, supressor attatched, training each now on the two men.

 

[Darth Nyne]

((have waited for Imperial, hope to see him respond soon, but I will at least post to keep the thread alive))

Stumbling ever so slightly after his run in with the droid he'd made his way towards the two girls and the lizard man. He was just about there when he decided to speak, so as not to alarm anyone. What he hadn't thought about was the words he'd say in such a drunken state.

"Hey, ladies, do you usually hang around with giant walking handbags?" he of course immediately regretted it, knowing that the Barabel could snap his neck without much thought about it.

He took the last few steps to be standing next to the trio, leaning in an exercised balance that came of drinking on at least a semi regular basis, mere centimeters between his shoulder and the closest of the twins.

 

[Imperial]

(OOC: Oh sorry about that, I was waiting for em.cecile :p)

Redreath walked purposely towards the girls hoping to find the answers he was looking for. Knowing he had to appear non-threatening, so as not to be shot in the back by the hidden bodyguard, he relaxed his arms and put them at his sides while his tail lowered from it's alert pose.

Opening his mouth to speak he was rudely cut short.

"Hey, ladies, do you usually hang around with giant walking handbags?"

The sentence did not make sense, the twins were not carrying handbags let along giant walking ones. However Redreath lacked enough real world knowledge to realize it was a jibe at him.

What he did know was that this newcomer smelt strongly of alcohol and that along was enough to make his sentence plausible.

Momentarily caught for words The Barabel snapped his mouth shut. Then he opened it in what he hoped was a friendly smile (Something unnatural to his species). His huge set of razor sharp teeth were anything but friendly and gave off the impression he was wanting to eat something.

Both Amelia and Allina were aware that Dagan was there. He was usually around when they were close to getting themselves in trouble. Thus being armed with this knowledge and weapons, they weren't afraid of the Barabel or the drunken idiot.

With a quick glance at each other and a nod, both girls pulled their blasters out. Each girl taking one of the men in the blasters range.

 

[Darth Nyne]

Guns, everywhere he went there seemed to be guns involved, and it never ended pretty, the scars on his leg proved that. He was never one for using enough medication to completely erase the marks of the past.

Drunkenly with a step back he lifted his rifle to the Barabel, and then slid his pistol out and leveled it at the twins. Still wobbling, visibly intoxicated, some of the glassiness left his eyes, a firefight always tended to bring about a sober attitude even if the body didn't fully comply.

"Ladies, no trouble needed," he only slurred slightly now, though he stumbled a bit under the weight of one handing the rifle. "why don't we get rid of the Hisser and have a nice talk?"

He waited fingers on triggers, eyes bouncing between both the twins and the reptile.

 

[Cailst]

Dimitrije had wandered and actually had found groceries. Granted, it wasn't exactly like the groceries at home but it did work. Largely, it was a combination of some old lady selling stuff grown in her vegetable garden and some bakery. With those in hand, he wandered back to his apartment. On the way were the two twins.

"Apparently, there are groceries in lower Coru-what?" He stated and then said in some surprise to see them aiming blasters at some other human and lizard man. Perhaps this had something to do with that "Raider's coalition.".

 

[Imperial]

Redreath let out a hiss of expiration. No one had so much as said hello and all ready guns were drawn.

Redreath was not armed and so had no weapon to draw anyway, however he was not about to die because some drunk can't keep his mouth shut.

"Hold. Your. Tongue. Human."
Each word was followed by a menacing hiss as air escaped his sharpened teeth.

"I ssseek only information, not combat."

He gave the drunk man a stare before turning to the twins.

"You femalesss have information no?"

 

[Emma Lou]

With the guns still trained on both men the twins looked at each other then nodded.

"What sort of--"

"information are you looking for?"

"We know many things, but--"

"who knows if we will share them"

 

[Darth Nyne]

A sigh and a stomp of the foot, that was all he could come up with for the fact that they'd even bothered to humor the thing, information always came at a high price, the thing didn't even have a pistol why would they think he could afford information.

 

[Cailst]

While it appeared to be cooling down as both sides were beginning to talk to each other, it still appeared quite tense. Dimitrije felt that watching the possible confrontation might allow him to have a chance to stop it. Of course, being on the lower levels of Coruscant using some of his Jedi powers might be unwise unless it were absolutely necessary. So until then, he laid down his groceries and put his hand in a position to get his blaster should it be necessary.

 

[Imperial]

"We... I seek information on the whereabouts of someone. I have little more infomation to divulge when we are in the presence of a drunk, a bodyguard and..." Redreath looked up as if sensing the air, "... Someone else."

Redreath did not any contacts whatsoever in the wide Galaxy, he was seeking for a way to get into the system. To find someone he had vowed to find. He needed information, but more importantly he needed friends.

 

[Emma Lou]

"Well, I can assure you that we--"

"don't know the whereabouts of anyone"

 

[Imperial]

"You play me for fool sssilly girlss? Here you two are wandering the dark alleywayss of Coruscant as if you owned the place. You know something and on rock information iss power.
But I do not threaten you, instead I am willing to exchange something. In return I only ask for the ability to establish mysself in this galaxy."

Redreath thought for a moment and, ever the gentleman, despite his appearance spoke again.

"Excuse me for the outbursst, I should not have let my frustration show."
