Duke Devlin- OPENING CONFESSIONAL
This would bring the weeks confessionals down to the last member who sought out to do them, the Wild Card. The holo would pan to Magnum, who feigned an almost comatose state, until he suddenly popped up with that devilish grin and the two deadliest finger guns on New Alderaan. "Pow-pow! Rich Magnum here for the final contestant with the foresight to signup for one of these! I thought I was dying but your cheers, and some spiced rum, have renewed my strength! It's hard being loved!" he plopped down into his couch and head would snap towards the camera on the left, crisply. "Speaking of love, our Wild Card Duke Devlin, that's right folks it's either a well thought out stripper name or a cover, has come to this mansion looking for love in Alderaan places!" He would point to the door. "Send in the Devlin!"

Upon entry, the on-site audience would cheer for 'the Wild Card as she entered. "It's the Duke! Take a seat! Can I get ya anything to drink? Beer, liquor, water?" Like much of the house, this room was lavishly decorated and full of many very valuable things.

The Spacers entrance when she was giving the nod from one of the back stage staff, certainly lacked the grace, poise and glamour of the other contestants. Hell she even lacked the attire, no slinky dresses, make up, push up undergarments nothing, just a her typical short cropped top and jacket, leather work leggings and her trusty boots. Eisa was sure as hell not going to kid herself, dressing herself up to the nines, slinky dresses high heels would never work, with the ever present industrial yellow cybernetic arm, and leg braces grafted onto her body. Yeah there was no point in trying to dress a nexu up as a Loth Cat, so the Spacer just kept true to herself.

Whilst most if not all of the other contestants were going for the well heeled look and approach, Eisa's approach was pretty much the complete opposite, as Rich pointed to the curtained door, the fire headed human bounded into the confessional room "Bright Suns!!" the spacer called out whilst waving initially to the audience as a wild grin spread on her lips before the spacer pointed her cybernetic arm where Rich was seated, before swiftly rushing over to him and giving the man an energetic hug the same way a screaming fan would as they met their idol, just without the ear piercing screening.

Letting go of the host, the spacer took a few steps back, before jumping backwards onto the sofa. Once she had settled herself into the seat, her legs on the arm rest, arms wrapped over the back cushions, the spacer gave a quick two handed shot of finger guns towards the host. "Pew pew.... How about this guy!" Eisa spoke before shortly afterwars blowing off the 'smoke' from the fired finger guns to then wave to the audience and gestured to the host with her cybernetic arm. "Best in the Kriffing business I tell ya!" the spacer added, drumming up some cheers and elevated applause for the show's host.


Slumping back into the sofa, slouching, kicking her feet up, the spacer made herself comfortable before giving the crowd another wave before returning her attention back to the host as he offered her something to drink. Rolling her eyes up a little in thought, before shrugging. "I'll have a beer mate... You better not leave me drinking alone though" she answered before hastily insisting Rich joined her in a drink with a quick wink and a grin.

The crazed red head was all energy, seemingly endless and uninhibited by the supports on her legs. Then she came running at him at mach 5, something he was not expecting and when he sat up to receive the hug, would instead be greeted with a face full of the goods, bribery at its best. Returning the hug before popping free of the embrace, he'd grin back. "Bright Suns indeed!"

As she fired off her finger guns, Rich would jerk as if he was getting blasted by the newcomer. What an entrance! After playing dead, he would pop back to life and bow at the waist for the crowd. "I'm only the best, because I work with the best." he'd say before winking at her and shooting a finger gun at one of the cameras.

Retaking his seat he'd smirk before snapping at Todd. "Ya heard the lady, Todd! Chop,chop!" he laughed. "Oh, my dear, you're going to need to work overtime to catch up!" another laugh. "Okay, so Duke Devlin, before we hop into the real stuff, the people gotta know, what brings you onto the show? Money and house excluded and unfortunately, you can't quote courting me as a cause either, heartbreaking I know." He would fire off another wink before taking a pull from his very large glass.

Looking up to the side as the stage hand ran over with a bottle of beer, seemingly in his haste to comply with Rich's orders, he had neglected to open the lid. A mistake that was easily enough rectified, with a practiced flick of her cybernetic wrist. With the bottle open and the cool foam bubbling out of the top, the spacer raised her bottle before taking a sip from the refreshing beer.

Her eyes widened as the question came, what brings her onto the show? Other than the money the house and of course the presenter being off limits. Actually why in the Kriff was she here? Bringing the bottle up to her lips once again, taking another swig before lightly grinning and shrugging in response to the question. "I dunno?" The spacer commented with a chuckle.

"To be honest with ya Rich, some bloke with a data slab approached me whilst I was visiting Coruscant, being all like do you want to go to New Alderaan and possibly win credits and a house or something" Eisa explained with a slight chuckle "At first I figured it was one of them timeshare schticks ya know? So thought Kriff it why not, could do with a little break from jumping all across the 'verse" she added before necking the rest of the drink and setting the drained bottle to the side of the couch.

"Boy was I shocked when the next thing I knew, was getting bundled into s studio for screen tests!"

Of all the answers he was expecting, this did not make the list. 'I dunno'. And that would elicit a genuine laugh from the host. He would slap his thigh. "Now -that's- comedy!" He would continue to laugh, boy was he double cheeked up on thursday night. "Okay, so you're out there, and I'm sure it was Randy. Was he wearing a trench coat? I bet he was. If so, it was Randy. Hopping out, scaring people on Coruscant. Well I gotta say, I am glad you made it on the show Duke, even if I knew a very skilled stripper named Devlin. She could fire a ping pong ball about twenty feet!"

He would pause from his laugh to take a sip from his drink. "Okay, second question. I need to know. What caused the cybernetics? We don't need the gory details, but hey, you can even make some crap up and we will never know."

Her attention briefly got pulled away from Rich for s moment as she picked up on the sound of s low shuffle as Todd the stage hand did his best to crawl along the floor behind the spacers couch to collect the drained bottle she has discarded, and replace it with a fresh one. All whilst trying to not be seen or picked up in any camera shots, well that was until the spacer sat up a little and leant over the arm rest, rustling the stage hands hair a little and giving his game away. "Ain't you sweet pal, just bring the box next time save you the rug burns" the spacer chuckled as the took the fresh bottle and popped the cap off before swigging at the beer as she sunk back into her seat.

"Well it's a bit difficult for me to talk about" Eisa spoke out in response to the second question centering around the origin of her cybernetics, as she rolled her shoulders in a almost deflated shrug. Her eyes wandering off to the side as she tilted her head to the side slightly so that Rich and the cameraa could see the bright yellow cranial remount that had been grafted onto the left side of her skull, the glowing blue strip of light giving indication that it was just not a metal plate, but also various sensors and biometric devices. "Alot of what happened I can't remember too well" she added as she pointed at the skull mounted cybernetics with just a bit of a quirky mix of a flourish and a finger gun.

Seemingly out of the blue however, the Spacer sprang forwards so that she was leaning over the edge of her seat beer bottle in hand and primed for the odd quick swig." So yeah I was in my mid teens I think, first job, that sorta schtick, all bright eyed, bushy tailed, wanting to get out there and make a difference you know?" Eisa spoke, seemingly without stopping, the only time she came up for air as it were was to take another swig from the bottle. "So the lot I'm with, we get this call come in from Telos, and of all things it's a kriffing rescue mission!! Was like score! So we get to this old Czerka warehouse, that some mercenary thug types had bunkered down in with their hostages right, so we gotta get in there, knock some skulls together, free the hostages and then done right?" The spacer continued again without seemingly stopping to breath.

"So we're in the warehouse, sneaking our way up to the office where they were hiding with the hostages. Then suddenly BOOOOM!! One of the bastards had set up a frag mine, and guess what idiot walked into its sensor range" Eisa resumed before trailing of with a deflated sigh, and then taking a few moments to try and recall the rest of what she could from that day, swirling the beer its bottle for a few moments before then taking a healthy mouthful.

"Next thing I know is that I'm on the floor laying in a pool of my own blood, blood in my eyes, can't hear shit, can't move my legs and there's three field medics at my left side prepping a surgical saw to cut off what remained of my arm and even then it looked like a shredded bantha wrap" Eisa picked up once again before pausing to take a mouthful of her beer. "They had to amputate my arm in its entirety, right down to the shoulder socket. Think I was in hospital undergoing surgery for several months.... Cant really remember too much about that part cos of being doped up to the eyeballs on painkillers. But yeah they grafted this arm to replace well my arm" she resumed before chuckling a little at her blatently obvious statement "The remount is to cover over the portions of my skull that shattered, as well as housing some interfaces for a hearing sensor that's hard wired into my brain so I can hear as well as a few other other things that link the cybernetics up." She added as she pointed to the side of her head before then guesturing to her legs. "And these bad boys, well they're to help compensate for all the muscles, nerves and such that got all torn up to shit by the shrapnel"
