Acolyte Barracks, Sith Academy

Since the establishment and expansion of the Sith Empire, the number of recruits showing up to become Sith had also gone up. That had resulted in a number of temples and academies cropping up across Sith territories to train these prospective Sith. And over time each academy had built up a reputation, some as living hell holes, some as an easy ride, and some as the second coming of Nar Shaddaa. And more often than not reality did not match expectations, for instance the academy on Korriban, despite its barren surroundings and frequent hauntings and infestations, was famous as a party school. Drinks, drugs, alchemic potions, and worse flowed freely within the acolyte dormitories, and not an eye was batted at the craziness that unfolded each night, and through many mornings.

The dorms on Dormund Kaas on the other hand had the reputation as one of the worst, mostly because of the RAs assigned to them. The worst of the lot was the oldest, meanest, most power hungry acolyte Empire, a Bothan by the name of Scotty. And Scotty loved to abuse every ounce of authority he had as an RA. There were no parties on Dormund Kaas, there were no late night outings, and there was no inter-acolyte fraternization. Anything "fun" was not allowed, though it never kept new arrivals at the dormitories from trying. What Scotty did not know could not hurt anyone. Of course, the downside was that Scotty knew everything, and it was nigh on impossible to hide anything from him.

Which made anyone who managed to pull one off from under his nose a legend amongst the acolytes. Ashla was not trying to be a legend, she was only trying to sneak into the kitchens to grab hold of some supplies to try the new smoothie recipe that had been posted on the Emryc Thorne vlog. But she had made the mistake of sharing this information with her overly talkative roommate, and somehow word had spread that she was breaking into the kitchens to steal food. And from there things had ballooned out of control, rumors spreading as they had a tendency to and a big party being planned out of her dorm room.

Unaware of these developments, Ashla was sneaking towards the kitchens intent on locating nothing more than a couple of bananas, some strawberries and some milk, much less than what would be needed to sustain the hoard of acolytes who were about to descend on her room upon hearing rumors of a party. As she snuck through the corridors, she spotted a few acolytes rushing past, speaking in excited whispers, but what had them so excited she did not know.

The only thing in her favor was the fact that, so far, Scotty did not know.

Altair was largely oblivious to the rumors. He was simply high from partaking in some herbs in secret in his room. Bleary eyed and dazed, he had a sudden craving for snacks. It was off hours and he knew there was no food being served. They were also not allowed off campus, which meant you pretty much had to starve till the next day. His stomach growled loudly in protest, so he made the drastic decision to raid the kitchen for some food. Normally he had Cairo as an accomplice for this kind of shit, but his buddy ditched him to go crash a wedding without inviting him. While he was salty about this earlier, Altair got over it when he began to puff on the herbs.

He was dressed in a hoodie and some flannel pajama pants, clearly not trying to impress anyone. His hands were in his pockets as he strode the hall, pausing every now and then to check if the coast was clear before he continued. Altair turned the corner and a girl squealed, startled by his sudden appearance. The moonlight was shining in through one of the windows, and he looked like a demonic shadowy figure. She put her hand to her chest, exhaling.

“Oh Altair, it’s just you,” She whispered. Altair blinked a few times.

“The hell are you doing here?”

“Didn’t you hear? Party at Ash’s!”

Altair only grumbled in response, walking right past her. The girl groaned behind him, “Come onnnnn Altaaaairrrrrr you have to comeeeee. Bring that hallikset of yours,” He could hear her giggling as he kept walking. Any other time he probably would have stayed and attempted to spit some game, but truthfully the Devaronian was fucking blazed beyond belief. He was daydreaming about food, practically foaming at the mouth as he made his way over to the kitchen.

He turned into another corridor and saw a very familiar giant head. Monorails were on display and blocking his view as usual. Altair lazily walked up to Ashla who vaguely resembled a ninja wannabe with the way she was sneaking around and fooling no one.

“Sup,” He said flatly, blinking a few times through his bloodshot, bleary eyes.

Ashla nearly jumped out of her skin at Altair's greeting, almost tripping as she took an instinctive step away from the source of the sound and let out a loud "BY KRAVOS' CURLY BEARD!!" before immediately slapping her hands on her mouth to clamp it shut. She stared wide eyed at the figure, going from confused to surprised to a little angry in the span of seconds.

"Altair?!" She whisper screamed at him, breathing fast, her head whipping from side to side to make sure no one had spotted them. "You scared me! What are you doing here?" That was when she noticed his eyes, pausing to think back on if his eyes had always been bloodshot like that or if this was something new. "What's wrong with your eyes?" She asked as she leaned forward to peer up at him and get a better look. But before she could ask him more a sound from behind them caught her attention and she jumped into action.

Grabbing Altair by the arm, she moved quickly for the nearest door, and pushed him through it before closing almost all the way behind them, leaving it just a crack open to stare through. The sound of footsteps rang out from further down the corridor, growing stronger till a figure crossed by in front of the door and left in the direction of the kitchen.

"Fuck," she whispered as she gently pushed the door closed, "its one of Scotty's suck-up prefects! Why's he got them doing rounds at this time of night?"

She turned to face Altair, a questioning look on her face, though why she expected him to know the answer even she didn't know.

Altair simply blinked at her dramatic reaction to seeing him. Normally he would’ve jumped as well, but he was far too mellow right now. His only reaction was a yawn, revealing pointed teeth until he brought up a hand to stifle it, “I’m getting a snack,” He mumbled, “Why are you creeping around like you’re about to jump someone?” Altair asked, rubbing his eyes sleepily. He blinked a few times when she asked about his eyes, “Uh, I’m baked, duh,” He stated flatly, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. But knowing Ashla, she probably would take that literally and wonder if he put himself in an oven or something, “I..ingested some herbs..of the recreational variety,” He explained more clearly.

He was rudely awakened a bit more than he was when Ashla grabbed him and yanked him in some direction. Altair was too confused to protest, even as she shoved him through a door and closed it. The Devaronian sighed when Ashla asked her questions, “I don’t know, I can’t see shit over your fucking monorails,” He whispered back.

When she turned to face him, the points of his horns grazed against said monorails, “Fuck, sorry,” He whispered, trying to pull himself back to avoid further injuries.

“I know they’re out here,” The prefect said. It sounded like he recruited some helpers.

“Check the corridors and the closets.”

“Tell Scotty to go to Ashla’s room! This is our best chance to bust her!”

Altair listened to all this quietly, waiting till the footsteps shuffled away. He stared for a moment, “You suck at making friends worse than I do, Ash,” He said, shaking his head with a grin before he playfully nudged her shoulder.

“Come on, let’s set the scene and frame the prefects.”

"They aren't my friends," she snapped back, not getting the true sentiment behind his words and feeling an immediate need to clarify that she did not associate with the prefects, she had seen more than enough teen dramas on the holonet in preparation for moving into the dorms to know what happened to anyone who was friends with the prefects, "they just don't like me because I'm from the..." she paused, having almost let the word Cadre slip out, "They just don't like me."

Ignoring the comment about monorails, having noticed it far too late the first time to correct him, it had stuck, and now she just kinda went with it. Torn between her excitement for trying out the smoothie recipe, and helping Altair prank the prefects (which she had read in svogue was part of a complete college experience), she paused for a moment before giving in. "Okay," she whispered back with an excited smile begining to show up on her face, slowly opening the door and stepping out, "but then we go steal some fruit from the kitchens. I really wanna try this smoothie, I saw it on Emryc Thorne's vlog, and its supposed to be super healthy. Oh, Emryc Thorne is the ISC president, but he also runs this fitness vlog which is crazy. Of course its vegan, which doesn't sit quite so well with Togruta physiology, so I have to modify some of the recipes, but I like that challenge." The Thorne vlog and fitness regime was something new for her, an interested completely unrelated to being a Sith, and it excited her to a degree that surprised her, and actually finding an opportunity to share that excitement with someone her own age, she got more than a little carried away.

She stopped near a supply closet, and a thought occurred to her, and she turned around to face Altair. "What if we steal all the cleaning supplies, and plant the prefects' fingerprints all over the place. They'll get in so much trouble when the cleaning droids file a complaint!" Ashla, as it would soon become apparent to Altair, had never really pranked anyone, and her idea of a prank was very different from what he might have had in mind. "Orrrrr," she added, almost skipping in excitement at another idea, "we steal some tomes from the restricted section, leave them somewhere in the tax section that no one ever checks out, and make the head archivist think the prefects stole them. Lord Ayurveda will lose his mind!"
