Ask Just The Two of Us

[Darth Draugr]

Taris, Sith Planet, 2100 Hours

Draugr has received a recent promotion and has been fairly busy with work but had received a text on his Dataphone from Imani. Taking a break from the reports and getting situated, he would read and then smirk a little at her asking how his day was going before preparing and sending a text back,

<It's going.. way more responsibility than I had thought before.>
<We should go to that Arcade place you were telling me about. I think I'll have you beat on at least one game.>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hours later he would find himself walking down the sidewalk on his way to an Arcade next to his date, Imani Din. There was a bit of a rough patch back on Eriadu but this was how they moved forward and see if it hadn't just been a bad night. The Zabrak walked closest to the street and held Imani's left hand in his right, with their fingers interlocked. He had no clue where it was so he hoped Imani was leading the way otherwise it'd just be a long walk for the two tonight.

"So how many other siblings do you have? I only really know about Altair." The Zabrak asked with a curve to his lips as he looked into her eyes for a moment before back to watching where they were walking, so they didn't run into anyone. He was curious about her family life, and wanted to know more about family in general. He never had much of one when he had grown up. So something like this was interesting.

[Imani Din]

Imani was more than happy to lead the way. Though Taris was a planet she hadn't spent too much time on, she'd been to one of the arcades here at least twice by now. It was a cute little hole-in-the-wall kind of place that often had more children than adults, but past six it was often empty of anyone but one or two other people. She liked it there, and she figured Draugr would appreciate the lack of people there to gawk at him for his new status in the Sith.

"I've got eight total," the tiefling woman would answer. "My youngest sibling is Laila, then there's Emir, Kasim, Altair of course, Jabari, Amira, Khalid, Khalani, and my older sister Nadiya."

There was a lot of noise in the house growing up, and she couldn't imagine what it was like after she'd left. Without either her or Nadiya around, Imani was sure the boys caused a hell of a ruckus.

"Alright, here we are. Gizmo's Games. Don't mind the ol' man, he's a grouch but he doesn't mean it." With that, Imani led Draugr inside, stepping in from bright sun into a dim, blacklight-lit room filled with flashing, colorful lights and blocky, outdated machines.

It was nice to be spending time with Imani without other Sith around. Especially when it gave him a chance to get to know her better than before. So when she listed off her siblings, his face grew more and more surprised as the names kept coming. How could she have so many siblings? The Zabrak had never really had siblings. He was told about a sister of his, but she hasn't been found since they were young children.

"One hell of a family I presume. I had a sister from what I'm told, but I haven't found her as she was taken away when we were small children." He said with a bit of a chuckle as they walked to the entrance of Gizmo's Games. The old man gave the Zabrak a look, but for Imani, Draugr simply give an icy stare back before making it to the dark room. There were quite a few different arcade games that the out of touch Sith Lord had no idea how to play but he was ready to spend time doing stuff Imani enjoyed and she had said games were fun. So here he was.

"So where do we start?" He looked around, and seen a few different styles of games. A few requiring throwing, some more so with controllers and joysticks, and others with dancing. 'For the love of the gods, do not choose the Dance, Dance, Evolution game.' He had thought to himself.

He maybe had a sister? "I really can't imagine not havin' any siblings at all," she said with a shake of her head. "I practically raised some of 'em. I remember Nadiya and me trying to corral our younger siblings to walk them all to school on time," she chuckled. Trying to get any of her brothers to do anything was a challenge in itself sometimes.

But, where did they start? "Good question," she mused aloud as she looked around the arcade. She followed his gaze to one particular game and decided that would be a good warm-up.

"Oh! How about Dance, Dance, Evolution?" she suggested, already pulling the Zabrak along with her toward the machine. It was a duo set-up; they'd compete against each other and play side by side. "This one's fun. You step on the arrows as they fall down the screen, so it kind of looks like you're dancing," she explained.

Well.. her decision couldn't have been further from what Draugr had hoped for, but it seemed he almost had no choice in the matter as she drug him over the large game machine. She explained how the game worked, and Draugr looked down at the arrows on the ground of it, and sighed quietly. The music in the arcade and from the game itself would mask the noise. "Of course, let's give it a go I suppose." The Zabrak climbed up on the machine and listened to a high pitched feminine voice come from the machine.

"Allllrighty! I sure hope you can groove! Choose a song!"

Draugr couldn't help but think to himself how more annoying the voice could get. Though it seemed Imani was enjoying every moment, so he would endure the internal pain of it and try to play the game. "I don't know any of these songs.. do you?" The list had various options but the Sith Lord had no idea what any of them were as he was more of a rock and metal type.

As the song of Imani's choice was chosen he would watch as the screen counted down from three and then the song started playing. Arrows began to float up from the bottom of the screen to the top. The Zabrak would begin to try to step on the arrows he had seen but unfortunately, he had not known to hit the arrows with his feet as they were lined up with the ones set on the screen. So he would hit the arrows he was looking for, but definitely the wrong timing. Then the dreaded voice would keep on taunting him, "Almost!.. Oh no!.. Do you not dance?.. Ooof you can do better!" 'Damn game..'
