Crossing (Buisness) paths

[Metal Gear Seth]

Landing in the closest parking space, Seth left his droid to defend the ship, as scary a thought as that was, it was still necessary. His contact for the job prefers meeting on a home field advantage, let alone the fact that it was a slaver who has offered the job. He wasn't to fond of that fact, but the job was honest and the pay good, so he would hear him out.

He was being sure as to check the crowd he was passing through as he pulled up to the front door of his possible future employers establishment. An impending attack could always be imminent with some of the jobs he'd had to pull from time to time.

'Hopefully this goes smoothly. What could go wrong?'

 

[Vinny]

There were only a few things Paya really hated in this galaxy. Okay, scratch that, there were a lot of things that she hated in this galaxy. Yet the one thing she hated the most had to be slavers, and hutts. Or hutt slavers-yeah those were the worst. So it went without saying that when she learned of a Hutt slaver operating off a world that was not within the direct protection of the Hutt Crime Families... well... she pounced.

The Twi'lek strode with a purpose down the street. Hand on her hip and blood in her eyes. Behind her, two men dressed in casual fatigues and sporting carbine assault rifles strapped across their chests. No one even looked at them as they made their way through the market. No one was stupid enough to, anyway. Yet the two men behind her weren't the only Kolkaar 'employees' that had made their way to the surface. An entire strike team had positioned itself around the Bagoru the Hutt's compound.

Paya lazily reached for her comlink, fingering it and brought it to her lips. She stepped right up to the entrance when a male human approached from the opposite direction. She tilted her head, looking him over as he walked up to the doors and prepared to make himself known.

"If I was you, kid, I'd make myself scarce." She said, lowering her comlink.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

Seth smirked when he was stopped by a blue skinned Twi'lek, her comment kinda funny to him.

"I assure you miss. I'm no kid." he said brushing past her into the building. He took 2 steps in before he stopped, and paused for a solid moment.

'Wait. Why's she saying that..?' he thought, an image flashing through his mind oddly.

'The heck? I haven't had a flash since..' his eyes widened as he whirled around, and gave the woman a raised eyebrow.

"Why should I?" he said skeptically.

 

[Vinny]

Paya watched him brush past her, a twitch in her left eye. One of the men behind her stepped up, ready to blow the brat to kingdom come if necessary. She held up a hand though, watching as he paused just at the threshold. He seemed to hesitate before stepping back out to confront her. Good choice, all thing's considered. She raised the comlink to her lips just as he demanded answers.

"Do it." She said, and without a second between the words two explosions rocked the building. The men behind her charged inside. Gunfire erupted from the compound and bystanders ran for cover. She gave him a trollish look. "Because I'm going to turn this kriffing slug hole into a festering blood stained crater, sweetie." She winked at him, flicking a head tail and drew a blaster.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I need to teach a Hutt how to cosplay as alderannian cheese." She said, and strode right through the door, capping a charging guard in the head with a lazy blasterbolt.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

Seth was blown out the entrance from the explosions, landing with a suprisingly satisfying thud. Getting up and dusting himself quickly he briskly walked over to give the woman a piece if his mind, but was interrupted when she heard she would be having some fun with a Hutt. He knew his employer was a slaver, but a Hutt? That was just someone he couldn't make a deal with. He didn't trust Hutts in the least, besides, there was no way he could take the job now.

"Say. Did you say Hutt?"

 

[Vinny]

What was this kid's problem? She spat out a litany of curses when his sudden approach caught him off guard, her blaster changing hands in an instant with the practiced reflexes of a juggler. She lowered her blaster and tilted her head to keep an eye on the hallway. Already the blasterfire was growing louder, more of her men had arrived and the assault was in full swing. She sighed and looked him up and down before giving him a steady glare right in the eyes.

"Do I strike you as the kind of woman who stutters?" She demanded, flicking a scarred head-tail over her shoulder. "No? Good. Yes it's a damned hutt, now either leave, let me shoot you, or help me put the fugly little slug down. Okay?" She spat and turned, breaking into a light jog. She leapt over what appeared to be a receptionists desk and rounded a corner. Her legs carrying her to a set of stairs and the welcoming flashes of blasterfire.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

Drawing a pistol Seth simply smirked.

'Quirky. I like it.'

"I'd say no, so I'll take option 4." he popped off a round into the head of a guard that was charging the Twi'lek woman, then watched his body tumble and slide to her feet.

"Considering your charging the compound of what would've been a future employer I don't exactly like, I'll say your welcome, and where's that slug?" he said with a grin, gesturing to follow her.

"I don't suppose an agreement can be arranged?" He put on sunglasses, and handed her some.

 

[Vinny]

Paya tilted her head and pursed her lips in a way that said "well damn!" as the body slid to her feet. She turned one more time and looked at the kid, giving him a fairer glance than before. She put a hand on her hip and her expression widened into a wild smile.

"Huh! You're alright kid." She said with a genuinely surprised tone. She turned as a kel'dor guard charged them and accepted the sunglasses from him. Sliding them over the cones of her ears she blasted a hole through the paste-faced-fucker's chest and stepped over his body.

"You're looking for work then? Sure. I could use a decent shot, we'll consider this your interview. Keep me alive." She bantered and dashed up the stairs and around a bend, ducking beneath two blasterbolts and kicking the carbine from the body of one of her men who lay riddled with holes just beyond the apex of the stairs. She slid, taking a knee and turning to fire a hail of red light into the trio of guards who were waiting. One of them ducked into a closet, popping out to take pot shots.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

'An interview huh?' he watched as she put on the offered sunglasses.

"I like your style. This'll be fun." he said as he followed shortly behind her, ducking to cover at a nearby hallway, and provided the Twi'lek Covering fire from the guard taking pot shots.

"I NEVER CAUGHT YOUR NAME!" he shouted over the chaos as he popped out, and shot his grapple around the legs of one of the guards that would've clubbed her with their rifle, pulling his feet out from under him, then shot twice at the closet peeper. He then ducked back into cover, and grinned as he pulled his knife.

"I should start keeping grenades on me." he looked down, and saw an unused grenade on the body of one of the Twi'lek's men.

"Now's a better time than any!" he said grabbing it off the floor.

 

[Vinny]

Paya ducked as a trio of shots whizzed over her head. She narrowed her eyes in irritation and chewed her lip. This wasn't as one sided as she had hoped. Even so, it would just take a bit more improvising in order for her to get her way. That or... oh. She watched the kid snatch a grenade off the ground. Yeah, that'll work.

"You'll get my name after we finish the job!" She shouted, popping out again and blasting another guard in the chest. Four more rounded the corner and moved to set up their positions. She turned and looked at the kid.

"Forget keeping the karking thing! Throw it!" She gestured to the group just beyond them. They had to get past this block if they were to meet up with her vanguard and take on the squealing little slug at the top of this palace. Not bothering to watch if he actually did as she instructed, she dashed across the open space and dived behind the same protection he had found. Checking her weapons she looked up and gave him a curt nod.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

Glancing at his new employer, Seth chucked the grenade, grabbing another one as he ducked back behind cover. sitting his back against the wall, Seth held his pistols barrels up, and took a breath as he clipped the grenade to his belt.

"Enjoy!" he said smiling with the grenade going off. He then jumped out again, and leveled his left pistol, holstering his right, and readying his grappling cable in his wrist bracer, also leveling it just below his pistol.

"Ready yourself, cause' here they come."

 

[Vinny]

"You don't have to tell me!" Paya shouted over the fallout of the blast. The familiar sound of carbine rifles was drawing nearer-her boys were cleaning up on their sides of the building. She chewed her lip, it wouldn't do for her to be the last one done. Kriffing hell.

Paya rolled out onto her her back, firing a shot above her head and into the pelvis of one of the approaching security guards. He dropped to his knees and she flipped off the ground, landing on her feet and firing a shot a bolt into the skull of a guard that had slipped in behind them. She turned to see five more approach.

"Bagoru! You slimy piece of shit! Stop throwing cadavers at me already!" She swore, cracking off two more shots into the chests of her enemies before leaping forward, advancing into cover closer to the doorway. She didn't bother glancing back to see how the kid was doing. He was either doing well, or dead.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

Briskly making his way to the doorway, Seth jumped in front of it, firing two shots into each of the two guards in the next room, and firing his grappling hook through the chest of one of the guards, embedding in the wall, then reeling the cable with enough force to send him flying towards said enemy, and riding him like cover to the wall, retracting the grapple, and ducking behind cover once more.

He pulled his other pistol once more, then peeked around the corner. The little slug had to be around somewhere.

"RUN! I GOTCHU COVERED!" He shouted as he popped up from cover and laying down cover fire.

 

[Vinny]

Paya didn't hesitate. She vaulted over her latest bit of cover and rushed past her new ally. Darting down the hall she spotted her subordinates coming in from flanking hallways. She grinned savagely, her heart raced, her veins throbbed with the urge to kill. This was how it should be, yeah. She nearly leaped into the pair of elegantly carved doors that stood between her and her target. Idiot. Only rich prigs used wooden doors.

She fired one last shot into the head of the Hutt's Vizier, who fell into a heap where he stood. She bore her teeth at the massive slug, his tiny arms waving futily.

"Shacta! I knew it! Damn you, you krif-" She fired a shot into his tail. He squealed in agony. She quirked her lip and fired a shot a few inches to the right. He squealed again, trying to shuffle away. A few more inches, shot, more, shot, more, shot. She drew a clean line of burning holes in the hutt's body as she worked her way up to his fuck-ugly head. Her eyes flashed with every bolt of energy that plugged the disgusting wart's body.

Finally, as he lay dying, she walked up to him.

"I am going to extinguish your pathetic, disgusting and putrid race, slowly, painfully, and I'm going to drink your expensive ass wine while I do it." She swore, pressing the hot tip of the blaster against his eye and pulling the trigger.

She glanced around, snatched a bottle of hard liquor from the counter and turned on her heel to walk toward the door.
