Targets and Drinking

[Seanna Vel]

Being among the these people for only a short time one things they got right was the drinking part. Knowing she could get use to this part of life. Now came the other part just as important it seem there was clans even then it seem that always going on.

Finding herself again out on the range one like her couldn't be a stand out as it seem that all been raised to be find shots. Finding herself more then that as she let herself eye another target this time she missed. Getting her sights again shooting missing again. This caused her to start to get her own self to being pissed off. Why couldn't she get this she could hit moving targets but this as if couldn't hit anything just standing.

Piss Whiskey beat a monkey lizard, why ...why

More to herself then anyone around like anyone would be listening they all seem to be busy with there own thing out here, and seem to have there helmets on so she really couldn't tell if they was watching her or not. Not that she gave a damn if they was or where she was here doing her own thing.

Ser'eph lifted his mug in a salute to the mandalorian warriors around him.
"To the dead.....here's hoping we'll take our time seeing them again."
The warriors around him lifted their mugs and broke into laughter at the toast before drinking. Ser'eph smiled slightly, but it didn't even come close to reaching his eyes. He downed the strong Mandalorian ale, a taste that was oft described as a mixture of starship fuel and bantha piss but packed a huge punch when it came to getting you drunk. He slammed the mug down and roared out a challenge
"Who thinks they take Clan Cadera's arm wrestling champion in a bought or two? C'mon!"
One of the warriors, a younger mandalorian around 23 maybe, from Clan Ordo judging by the clan symbol tattooed on his neck, stepped forward. Ser'eph stared up at the imposing figure
"Well, they certainly fed you a little too much eh verd'ika?"
The young man chuckled a little and sat down, replying to Ser'eph's mock insult of him,
"I understand the humor in calling me little warrior Cadera, but I warn you...if you accept my challenge I might accidently break your old arm bones by accident."
Ser'eph grinned at the young man,
"I suppose that's a chance I'll just have to take then."
The two men gripped hands in the classic armwrestling position as one of the spectators, now turned referee, counted down from 3.
Once the struggle began Ser'eph realized two things. One, his opponent was much stronger then him.......however realization number two was far more important. His opponent was simply applying brute strength. It was a loosing battle for Ser'eph if he simply pushed against his opponents arm and tried to match his strength. But a quick turn of his wrist and he had the young warriors hand twisted and easily slammed it down into the table now that he had denied his opponent any leverage and taken it all for himself.
A great cheer went up as Ser'eph lifted his arms in triumph. He clasped the clan ordo warrior on the shoulder.
"Sorry lad, maybe in another decade eh?"

 

[Seanna Vel]

Getting herself up from the ground dusty off front of her clothing. "Don't even think about it, I'm a big girl, sugar." Finishing up as she turn towards the others gathering as if they was all in on something but her.
Ad'ika here how about you try with this one, its might be better sighted.
Giving him one of her death stares before taking it from him, shoving the other back into his chest. Once again finding herself on the ground but this time she had eyes upon her more then she cared to have.

Remembering to breath in and out before looking down the sight of the barrel this time she let herself relax the best with all eyes on her. As she did she slowly let out her breath gentle squeezed the trigger causing the gun to fired this time. It landed just where it was met to land on the the bulls eye.
Now where did you say you where from Ad'ika
On a little Nerf Ranch on Kiffex
Laughing there was some credits coming towards the one that was speaking to her. Before he spoke again. Ad'ika let me buy you a drink
Giving him a very questionable eye before speaking he just stood there was a half grin upon his face. "Okay, just one drink" After all she wanted to get in a good run before it got dark out call it something to prove to these Vode. Even those she was slowly learning the langue but she pick up on when she was being talked about. No doubt another bet was being placed. Letting this go for the time being. Until they was walking to the watering hole.
"What every the bet that being placed, I want in sugar.
Just smiling at her giving her a wink, as if he wasn't going to let it be that easy. Until he bent down and whispered into her ear. "Just don't pass out or fall off your chair after one drink, Ad'ika
"Done it take a lot more then one to get me to pass out, Sugar."
Even then she couldn't help but know there was something up on the drinks she heard about. Then it did matter to her she had work up a thirst. Walking herself along with the others to the drinking place. Blinking her eyes as she got her eyes use to the lower lighting of the place. As the one that seem to be more interested in her then the others showed her a place to sit as the others gather placed there order. Ad'ika let me get that first one on me seeing I might have done something to your rifle to make it shoot off a bit, just make it a lesson never let your weapon out of your site even among Vode.

Oh really, Monkey ass if your getting near my weapons again, I'll kick your ass before that happens again Sugar.

In his eyes one could see the playing he was doing to the outsider will at less that what they was thinking she was at less until she proved herself. As the drinks came it seem that word had gotten out about the bet that had been made on the outsider and not being able to last as more then one pint of ale.

Ser'eph walked up the bar in the cantina to get himself another mug of ale. Between the shoulder pats and back slaps from comrades and brothers he had fought with over his three and a half decade long career as a soldier he barely noticed the young readheaded woman walking in. When she got to the bar he heard a few bets being placed on whether or not she could last more than one drink.
Looking her up a down Ser'eph realized that the girl was a lot tougher than most were probably giving her credit. He turned to one of the bettors.
"200 credits says she lasts at least two drinks"
The man grinned wolfishly at Ser'eph
"Old age finally dull your mind Cadera? I'll take your credits sure"
Ser'eph chuckled a little to himself and turned to watch the woman drink, keeping a close eye to make sure no one got a little enthusiastic about trying to win a bet. Although the cantina was a Mandalorian favorite, a few outsiders sometimes came in and he didn't trust that no one would try to spike a drink just to make sure she passed out after one.

 

[Seanna Vel]

Wanting nothing more then to give them a tongue lashing for being her on the spot. "Look here I know I might look fresh meat, I tell you all right now, I'll be damn I give y'all in credits or anything else for that matter, I'm here to enjoy a few drinks, have a good time, got it Every one of you that seem to have a problem with staring.

Oh yes she knew that now wasn't the time to play the weak. Again when was the last time she had shown anyone weakness oh heck even the men working for her grandparents and the Nerf ranch back home new not to mess with her unless they wanted a few missing teeth.

Handing her the Pint as she took a sniff of the strong ale, that got a few to chuckle.

"What afraid that you put hair on your chest."
"Nope but I do wonder how you would like with a Pink dancer outfit with tights." this go a laughter from the crowd. As it seem some of the younger ones of male was very much taking much interest in her maybe more then Seanna wanted them to. After all she was just being herself.
As she let her Pint go up for like a cheer, Here is to good health, as it went to her lips not with out her knowing that thi was going to be strong but she wasn't about to give any the satisfaction of her take a sip nope it was all or nothing. Even then she let the burn take place she had tasted strong before being all over the galaxy for her family Nerf Ranch but nothing like this but she wouldn't show it in her eyes. Nope she knew how to play with these guys that was not to give them anything to fuel there egos of the situation.

The burn was felt all the way down but she manage some how to get it down, and then slammed the pint glass to the table. As her eyes got wide but nothing happen as she spoke again. Pay the man Monkey lizard butts, I"m still up right.
Some was slapping monkey on the table cursing in there own language before walking off to shake off there lost, some was still there as there bet was still on going.

@Niner

 

[Niner]

Ser'eph chuckled and glanced over at the man he had made the bet with
"Nervous yet?"
The man grinned again before replying
"So she finished one, she's still gotta be upright after two for you to win your money Cadera."
Ser'eph let a small smile appear on his face before wiping it away and turning to face the new comer.
He motioned to the bartender for two more ales and picked up one, motioning the redheaded newcomer towards the other.
"The names Ser'eph Cadera. You did good handling those guys."
He lifted the mug in a toast and downed it, keeping one eye on her to see what she did.

@Seanna Vel

((by the way I have to log off to get some sleep. I have work in the morning. I should be back on to make another post in about 16 hours))

 

[Seanna Vel]

Letting her own eyes go to the one that just spoke to her, with a bringer wide grin on her face. Letting the marks over her left eyes show full to him. Makes of being a Kiffar, to make it to boot with a way of telling. Call it natural reaction when someone introduce them self to her. "Its Seanna Vel" as if the last name didn't give away. As she heard another one mouth off saying that she was stalling. "Look here, if I was stalling you would taken you leave to relive yourself, sweet cheeks." as looked the one over from top to bottom seeing that he was pushing over the hill. Meaning that he had more wisdom then most had in there wisdom teeth if they even had any left as mouth as some of them seem to be getting.

"Delight, Ser'eph, if hold on I think my admires are getting antsy for me to down this next one."
As she took what he offered her, even before she could get it to her lips he had his downing. As she did the same even know some was cheering her on "Go go go" Finishing off the last drop, if one thing she could do was to down one of these suckers. Even with the burning she just let that pass, even those she was feeling a bit of the alcoholic take its place inside of her with a very warm feeling coming over her. No she wouldn't give in she would stay up right. T

Knowing she would be playing for this sooner then later then hearing somewhere out in the crowd that had gathered. Make that sweet thing walk now, come on baby right to me I got my lap ready for you," making smooching noses from his lips. Turning first to Ser'eph as it was in her eyes as if one gets when knowing to stay out of that ones way. "If you don't mine saving me a seat, I think I need to go shut that little boy up." , it was the smirk on her lips that told that she was up to something. Yep that was just it she got up with a little head rush but nothing she couldn't handle after all she was use to drinking. Walking over to him even giving some swag to her hips as if she was about to have fun. Yes indeed she was but not in a way this one might had wanted her to be with him.

Out of no where came a balled up fist of hers letting it twist putting her body all the way into the force of the punch. Landing its place on the man jaw, knocking him off his chair on the ground. "It seem like you decide to choice the floor, I hope its nice and warm for you." turning around on her heels of her boots, feeling a bit on the tip side but still up right. Only to feel an arm coming around from behind her. Giving her leg a back kick just the right place where the family jewels but not before feeling his fist get the side of her left cheek. Making her crashed on the floor. Hearing her being called every name in the book only if she could understand what he was calling her.

@Niner

 

[Niner]

Ser'eph observed the opening moments of the fight from across the room before seeing the girl crash to the ground. He pocketed his two hundred credits and motioned to the man who had lost the bet to keep the two seats saved.
He covered the ground quickly, most of the warriors knowing him, or at least enough about him, to move out of his way.
He circled around the downed woman until he was face to face with the man who had felled her.
He got up into the man's face snarling,
"You bring dishonor on yourself and your clan. You treat her like a piece of meat and act surprised when the bronto has a bite?"
He turned to look at Seanna then back at the man.
"If your so sure of yourself lets take this scuffle outside....Make an honorable fight."
He looked down at Seanna and offered a hand up,
"As for you, next time you have a problem with someone, challenge them to a duel rather than throwing a punch in surprise. It tarnishes your honor as well."
He turned to address the onlooking crowd, raising his voice so as to be heard by everyone.
"I will act as her partner in this fight, who here will take sides with this hut'uun?"
He spat out the last word with obvious distaste, a slight murmur went through the crowd, it was a strong insult to be sure. The man who had punched Seanna went red in the face, whether from rage or embarrassment Ser'eph didn't know....or care.
One of the man's friends stepped forward, average build but sporting a large pistol at his hip
"What are the terms then Cadera?"
Said the man Seanna had punched, Ser'eph looked at Seanna,
"Your choice Seanna, fists and feet or swords? It won't be a fight to the death.....but it will still be a fight."


@Seanna Vel

 

[Seanna Vel]

Looking up at Ser'eph knowing that it was better to not say a word for now at less. As she found her hand reaching out being helped. Normally she wouldn't take a hand from anyone. Call it her own stubbornness but this time she did. Just with his voice one couldn't help but stop and take note of the situation. It was almost as if she was getting her first lesson of who to be do a fight with honor maybe even for her. Before she just did what came natural that was to react in such a way.

It seem all eyes was upon her, could she take this one one that now seem to be as reach as lava. Nope she wasn't going to back down maybe it was her stubbornness or maybe it was more to the fact that she didn't want to seem weak in front of these mandolorains. Either way she was going to stand and fight.

Fist and feet will do nicely

Now there was no going back. As she took herself out the door with the others as if those around hadn't made enough money off her now there was all kind of side line bets being made. As she let herself get herself ready, even taking her jacket off with her outer blouse. Leaving a tank top as she begin the warm herself up by streghting show just how tone she was under all those baggy clothing.

Getting closed to Ser'eph whispering, "I hope you know I had no formal training, all I learnt about fighting as been in bars and ranch with the farm hands that seem to want to cross paths with me from time to time."

@Niner

 

[Niner]

He chuckled softly at her statement,
"Skill comes behind Will when it comes to battle and it seems you are plenty willful enough."
He took off the light jacket he had been wearing and carefully folded it and set it on the ground. Next he took of his gunbelt and set it carefully next to the jacket. Now he was clad in simple boots, fatigue pants, and a tan shirt that fit closely to his frame. Though in his fourties now Ser'eph had kept himself in shape with a brutal training regimen every day. His arms, while not massive like many of the younger mandalorians, were tight with sinewy muscle. The bottom of the red mythousaur skull tattoo peeked out from under his left sleeve and the tattoo on the inside of his left forearm that read "Kixata" was clearly visible in it's bold black ink.
He walked back over to stand next to Seanna and dropped slightly into a fighting crouch,
"Do what comes natural, this is an honor battle yes.....but it is still a battle. As long as you don't maim or kill then anything goes."
As the signal was given for the combatants to begin Ser'eph charged the friend of the man who had punched Seanna, grabbing him about the waist in what looked like a tackle before leveraging him up and over his back to come crashing to the ground. Ser'eph turned to his downed opponent, glancing over to see how Seanna was handling hers.

@Seanna Vel

 

[Seanna Vel]

Giving a quick nod as to see the ones face now that maybe he bit more off then he could chew. No matter what happen she was going to leave her with more respect or at less she hope it would end that way. Either so as she knew that she was out size she would let him, make the first move after all he might be big. That her own size would play a part in her being more of about to react then him.

Even then she felt all eyes upon her as she let him come at her as if he was going to finish her off with one blow and be on his way. It how every didn't happen like that she used her quickness but also her smarts to let his own weight be his undoing. As she moved to the right to see him fly past her. Having this look on his face she used the strongest of her limbs on her body that was her legs as she give a good kick in the ribs of the made as he went by her. Finding herself turning quick with her arm up for a block. As she went back a few step giving nothing away of her next move. As she would take a defence stance though this all.

Far from it as she lashed out with her hand to get through his block it was a short quick jab but it worked. Seeing that he was stun. Sexy and smart I'm going enjoy this much more then I thought, Now as he set himself up for another go around this time learning. Ready for his own reaction. Giving herself another opportunity as if he knew all her moves, this time she set him crushing to the ground as she pushed herself to met him half way with her feet doing the talking this causing him to have a mouth full of dirty.

Look it seem that you got some dirty full in your mouth, maybe you will not mouth off so much.

@Niner

 

[Niner]

Ser'eph's opponent lashed out one foot from his fallen position, sweeping Ser'eph's leg out from under him, he hit the ground hard.
"Trash talk AFTER the fight Seanna"
He called out to his compatriot before twisting his body to bring the heel of his boot down on the chest of his opponent. The other man wheezed a moment, giving Ser'eph the opportunity to clamber back up to his feet and adopt his fight stance again. The other man rose as well and they started fighting in earnest. Jabs being countered by sweeping arms, kicked being either dodged or blocked on the outside of the thigh or arms. The man was good, very good, but Ser'eph was smarter.
Noting a pattern to your enemies attacks was one of the golden rules of battle strategy, both on a grand scale and in small scales like this. He backed into a defensive posture, letting his opponent rain blows down, blocked or deflecting them all.....all except a few.
Ser'eph had realized that his opponent used a light left jab that left him temporarily open for a counterattack. By letting those jabs hit him every time he gave the other man the impression that it was Ser'eph's own weakness. After a few solid connections from those jabs Ser'ephs ribs started to hurt, creaking under each blow. Finally he saw what he had been waiting for. His opponent pulled back his left fist, reading a jab with enough power to put Ser'eph down, confident that it would hit. As it came in Ser'eph moved his hand to catch the blow, grabbing his opponents wrist and pulling him in. He delivered a brutal headbut right onto the man's exposed face.
His opponent staggered back, blood pouring from his nose with a look of confusion on his face before falling onto his back, unconscious.

Ser'eph grinned and turn to observe the fight between Seanna and her opponent. He wiped some of the blood from his face and winced at the pain in his ribs.
He mumbled to himself under his breath,
"I think I'm getting old Kixata"

@Seanna Vel

 

[Seanna Vel]

I think I bitten more then I can chew maybe...
Giving a light chuckle as it seem he went right after her again. As if now it wasn't a game but something he saw smack her down and win the prize. Nope far from was she giving into him. After all she wasn't one to let them to cozy with her. As he charge full on she went to her back at the last mintue as her own opponity went flying over her as if shock that she had put her boot at.

Even then she knew it was only a matter of time before he got in a good licking on her. Coming before she wanted to landing a good hard right to her side, she wrench out in pain but didn't give any other side It was as if she didn't want to back down but he that was facing her knew he got her a good lick. Even so she wasn't going to roll over and let it be done or was she just for her to call now.

 

[Niner]

Ser'eph moved to cover Seanna if she looked like she would need it, but for now he would let her fight her own battle. It was essential to a warrior. He scanned the crowd making sure nobody else would jump in and turned back to face Seanna and the other man. He sighed and decided that maybe giving her a little help wasn't too bad. SHe looked a little outclassed. He swept a foot behind the man's knees, sending him into a forward tumble straight towards Seanna.

"Punch him out Seanna!"
He cried out.

((BTW Ral Aran is gonna join us in this))
@Seanna Vel
@Ral Aran

 

[Ral]

Ral had just finished organizing some logistics in his office and decided to head to the nearby cantina to get a drink and see what the locals were up to. At his side, his personal pilot, the lavender-skinned Twi'lek Aisha Odoro spoke of the refits to some of the Mandalorian corvettes they had in dry dock at the moment. Around him a half dozen Renelo commandos walked about somewhat relaxed, ready to grab a drink at the bar and relax for the evening. Nodding back at the Twi'lek, Ral tapped the top of his beskar alloy helmet thoughtfully, "Sounds good, Aisha. I'm sure the fleet will be ready ahead of schedule then." Really, the refit was just a minor thing, but it had to be done. Luckily, it would only take a day or two before they were all back online and Ral could breathe a little easier.

However, upon entering the cantina he wouldn't find any relaxation to be had just yet. There seemed to be some sort of honor duel going on inside, that or it was just a good old fashioned brawl. Ral motioned to the Renelo commandos to not rush in and break it up. "So long as nobody gets too hurt let them work their problems out." He remarked as he made his way over to the bar where he ordered some tihaar from the barkeep. Looking to a nearby Mando he asked, "So what is it today that's causing the fuss?"

OOC: Feel free to skip me if I'm taking too long, I might get busy which will delay me from posting, so unless it's crucial for me to reply feel free to go ahead and skip over me. :)

 

[Seanna Vel]

All she heard was to knock him out from Ser'eph about to have her sassy. It came to as if something more was at play then just her instincts. Seeing the one flying towards her. Grinning giving herself a quick set up to put some force behind her punch. Squaring off as she did so with a twist to her punch letting her knuckles land straight on his cheek bone. Sending some pain shooting into her balled up fist. "Damn monkey lizard that hurt." Even then she step a side as to let him fall to the ground, there was many moans from one part of the crowd as if this wasn't suppose to happen. Hearing not so nice words being directed to her.

The mando setting at the bar looked at Ral, "oh some red head, that do know our honor system, with one of our young warrior that thought she be a easy piece figure she was like all those others outsider to come just looking to get wild and crazy with one of us, if you know what I mean, but this one will she didn't want to play instead had a nasty right hook, went after him, got to say that red head minx has a bit to her."

The crowd was cheering now but there might have been a few very pissed off ones there to. As she had done so many times before there was a flash before something happen in her direction just giving her time to spend so she didn't take full impact of the blade. "What Hutt mud that not honorable, that dirty as a Hutt on bath day." Giving her hand to her side, as she looked at it with the blood staining most of her hand. "Shit shit shit

 

[Niner]

Ser'eph rubbed his aching ribs and put his jacket back on. Moving in through the cantina's entrance he clapped Seanna on the shoulder,
"Good fighting nerf herder. Keep the spirit and you might make it as a Mandalorian."
It wasn't until he got back into the bar and headed towards the seats they had at the bar that he noticed there was a man in armor in his place at the bar.
Walking up behind him Ser'eph cleared his throat,
"Wanna explain why your in my spot there burc'ya?"
He rolled his head, popping the joints in his neck as he stood behind the man, still a little too drunk and amped up over the recent fight to notice the Renelo commandos....or to recognize the armor of the famous Ral Aran.

@Ral Aran

 

[Ral]

When Ral saw the knife drawn he sighed, immediately motioning to two of his commandos, Ral had them move in like spectres a break up the fight which they did with quick efficiency. Falling on the armed Mandalorian like raptors, they had him disarmed and restrained in just a few seconds. While it was sometimes necessary to observe Mandalorian tradition with the honor duel, especially if someone felt slighted, he never permitted them to turn bloody; their numbers were too few to kill each other, often over largely trivial matters. With his men hauling the Mandalorian with a knife away to cool his heels in their makeshift stockade, Ral turned to look at Seanna who seemed to be holding her hand to her side. "Aisha," he motions to the Twi'lek. "Bring the red head over here, please."

The Captain nods and walks over to get the wounded ginger just as a Mandalorian walks up to him and demands to know why Ral had taken his seat, making a show of aggression and attempting to be intimidating while he was at it as well. This caused a smile to blossom across Ral's face who motioned to the commandos still present to stand down. "I didn't realize it was yours," he said standing up and brushing off the invisible dust and germs left from his backside. "Here, it's all yours, vod. Why don't you let me buy you a drink?"

 

[Seanna Vel]

As much as it would delight Seanna to say that she had everything under control that would be far from the truth even now. As she looked the Captain up and down, letting her speak about bring her to her Alor. Before then Ser'eph patted her on her back for a job well done. I sure there seem that I have a lot to learn, Ser'eph what about another drink, think could win any more money off me tonight.

Giving her a nod to her head she followed. Getting closer her eyes seem to widen with surprise. "My my what in hutt monkey lizard uncle are you doing here sweet pea." as it seem that her own brain was doing the over drive thinking. It seem that as she started to put together and look at those around him. Trying to hold up her hands, as if she wasn't the one that started this whole mess. "I can explain." Could she really not in the way he wanted her to but she would try. Making a joke would be good right now to easy even those she could use another drink. "you just missed your chance to see me fight in a mud pit, sugar." okay so those around was looking shock at the fact that she wasn't using the right address to him. Letting the pain on her side be pushed to the back of her mine for the time being. As she put her hands back down. At less those around would know she wasn't some sweet little thing to be messed with nope she had to fight her whole life why not now.

 

[Niner]

Ser'eph's mind snapped to the realization of who was infront of him. He snapped off a sharp salute, slamming his fist into his chest over his heart.
"Apologies Sir, I didn't recognize you...I didn't mean to offend."
He let a tiny smile quirk the corner of his mouth,
"I'm getting old and if I don't act tough in here then none of these young mandos will listen to a doddering old man. Again, apologies sir."
He mentally cursed himself for letting his adrenaline and mild inebriation blind him so much. Looking out of the corner of his eyes he noticed the commandos standing around. Ser'eph was good...but if those commandos went after him....well not many people were that good.
He turned and motioned at Seanna,
"Seanna, this is Ral Aran, one of the best Mandalorians I've ever seen in my time."
He turned back to Ral,
"Sir, this is Seanna Vel. I was just helping her settle a....slight disagreement."
