Ask Whiskey, Words and Desperate Sins

[Nevizkas]

Disappointment dripped from the pureblood's lips, as it seemed that he truly wished to do things the hard way after all. The moment he waved sealed his fate, as Cyu leaped into action, pulling a vibroknife from under her cloak. Enhanced by the force, she quickly thrust the activated blade below the clavicle, aiming to pin him to the chair behind.

Knowing that the guards were likely armed, she had to act fast. Dashing into a combat roll to the side to avoid being grappled by the nearest guard, and grabbing the nearby deck chair to use as an improvised throwing weapon. Her attempt at tossing it towards the closest guards, hoping to knock them into the pool, followed immediately after.

Inside, Qi would find her way into the side bedroom with ease, although not having much luck in the way of finding the mysterious object. Somewhat safer in the confines of this room, however, would give her an opportunity to properly assess the mass of information she had absorbed when she first entered. A thief of her class would hardly miss the large table in the main room full of jewellery boxes and other trinkets ready for the blonde assistant responsible to provide them to the lady as needed.

As each person went about their job, the lady was busy scolding the blonde over her choice of earrings for the evening and how they simply clashed with her dress of choice. The blonde, for her part, and being quite used to these outbursts, pulled out multiple options she had prepared earlier for such an occurrence.

While the boss of this operation had thought himself a clever man, he was not at all prepared for what happened next. He had assumed his goons would be enough to intimidate the bold Pureblood, yet he soon learnt that underestimating her was a really bad mistake.

Cyu would manage to pin the man alright and the thrown chair would prove as a great distraction. The guards meanwhile had to ready their weapons and aim, so the Force was giving Cyu the upper hand for a few seconds until she'd find a hail of blaster bolts coming her way.

Maeve meanwhile had to slip out of her room and witnessed an interesting encounter: The lady of the house, her very target and her secretary were in the middle of a heated debate abput the choice of jewellry for the special occasion and right after Maeve had checked whether no one had seen her appear out of nowhere, she approached the pair.

"I uhm...sorry my lady, I'm just a dancer, but I just overheard your conversation. Honestly, with your stunning dress I'd settle on crimson earrings, too. Perhaps sparkly, but not too much and you'd look incredible". Maeve was still oblivious to what happened outside, but she had her eyes on the prize (figurateively speaking) as the lady had the necklace of desire right on her neck and Maeve still needed an excuse to attempt to get it somehow.

It wouldn't take much longer and the inside would know what was happening outside, but for now Maeve intended to lead the minx away from the rest. A few seconds would be enough after all.

With the boss stuck on himself, and two guards taking a refreshing dip after a hard day's work. Dodging blaster fire with a pivoting run, she quickly approached the nearest one with an open palm to push his pistol up. With a quick grapple, she next spun the man around like a rag doll into the next two. From the position she slipped into, she'd block their line of sight and thus bought herself some time to avoid being blasted to heck.

A startled look of surprise wedged itself on the fiery red-headed lady as Qi pushed herself into their conversation. Silence broke out around the group, as if they were waiting for a thunderous smack down to descend upon this outsider. "Klara, why the hell am I paying you if this dancer has the better taste." Her eyes flickering between the terrified assistant and Qi.

Klara raced back towards the jewels table with an embarrassed glare, purposefully shoulder bumping Qi on 'accident' as they passed by. Another assistant butted into the conversation with a rather interesting titbit, revealing some interesting information. "Ma'am, your husband's next appointment has arrived. Everything is arranged as you requested, shall we prepare for the Zygerrian?"

The lady of the house rolled her eyes, clearly well aware of his usual antics. "Let him enjoy his new plaything, but yes, make the preparations. The Zygerrian is well aware who actually runs this company." She said with a cheerful malice.

[Maeve]

Cyutadakyr hadn't just the Force but the element of surprise on her side. Before other guards could even pile in, she quickly processed the the thugs that came at her. They were all surprised and shocked, yet their grim faces were also a testament to their determination, however, the pureblood was clearly having the upper hand here.

The blaster bolts came at her, yet through her evasion, she'd manage do dodge them for now. She'd still be pinned down by two shooters who asked at her from the rooftop of the garage to her left. She'd sense them before they'd unleash their fire, yet she'd have to move quickly to get out of there.

Upstairs, Maeve was making progress, yet it seemed as though her window of snatching the lady was growing smaller. The accessory question was settled, yet suddenly, chaos erupted all around. "THEY'RE SHOOTING! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK", someone screeched and Maeve didn't even question Rae was involved in that, so she had to think us.

"I'm getting you out!", Maeve confidently declared as she grabbed the lady's hand and started dragging her with her, hoping she'd surprise her enough for her to follow for a bit. What Maeve was actually doing was to pull her around the nearest corner while her free hand slipped into pocket, immediately reaching for the little vial of green liquid that she plopped open and rammed into her mouth.

Nice and slow. That would do it. While the lady was in shock, Maeve would grab the necklace and just violently pull, wanting to yank it off and get the hell out of here asap.

[Nevizkas]

The sly movement to knock all the guards out of commission came to an abrupt end as the last two remaining problems presented themselves at a distance and upon elevation. To take them out without using an obvious force attack seemed unlikely, considering her relative unease with using a blaster. If she tried, the pureblood was just as likely to get hit standing there like a fool blasting away.

Reluctantly, Cyutadakyr held her arm up to utilise the force, drawing upon her immense power. Coiling a snare around the guards, she clenched to grip them before flicking her wrist as if drawing them together. Their heads clashing, not producing the kind of bang they were hoping for.

With the entrée's served and done, it was time for the main course. Approaching Mr Ruus with a disappointed smirk, she returned to sitting at his side as he struggled with the pain. "Sorry, you were saying?" She asked softly, barely masking a slight enjoyment.

The panicked gaggle of assistants lost their collective minds at the sounds of blasters firing, the matron barely had time to register what was going on before Qi dragged her from the main room. Just barely after they made it around the corner in the first room, the lady went to offer her thanks, just in time for something strange to be thrown in her mouth.

Choking for a second, as the capsule disappeared down her throat, the incensed woman wasn't even able to process this before being assaulted once again. "Stop .. bitch.." She forced out, struggling with a coughing choke that took the air from her lungs. The guards outside the room attempted to rush in but were stalled by the group of assistants attempting to leave, offering Qi a relatively safe way out if she chose.

With most of the guards rushing to the scene of action, what she did next seemed to be completely in her hands.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

Mr. Ruus was spluttering blood, choking on it even by the time Cyu met his blood shot eyes. He attempted to raise a hand, but was simply lacking the strength to do so while a puddle of fresh blood tainted the ground underneath. Cyutadakyr would be free to grab the weapons he had brought- unless there'd be nothing but decoys in his case - but she'd know she had to get out of there as quickly as possible or else the whole entourage of guards would be on her.

As they had unintentionally worked in perfect symphony, Maeve had a rather easy game upstairs. The majority of the guards was trying to rush out while no one witnessed the suffocating noises of struggle of the dying lady. She'd slowly run out of air, but her face was already turning slightly blueish while Maeve triumphantly grabbed the necklace and turned to leave.

She didn't say another word, but simply pressed on to join the panicking crowd, knowing they'd offer a unique chance of escape while full chaos was ensured. The necklace she carefully hid in her palm while she was shoved onwards until she found herself outside the massive house again. She had no clue whether the pureblood had made it out, but she was rushing to get to the last known location of their speeder.

@Xorism

 

[Nevizkas]

The worst part about her victory here wasn't the fact that it had been easier than expected, although that certainly hurt. The real pain came from not being able to stay and revel, both in his pain from the wound she had inflicted and worse, the one Qi had.

Fidgeting with the knife while leaning over to ensure that only he would hear what she had to say, she whispered. "I left a surprise for you inside." Her eyes lit up, excited like a child waking for life day. "But don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, we just became business partners." With a playful wink, the pureblood jumped up off the crippled man's chair to begin her egress outside.

Having now covered her face with the hoodie again, Cyutadakyr skirted around the corner and toward the loud noises racing from the house. The large crowd, making a perfect cover to skedaddle and making it nigh impossible for the remaining guards to properly stop them. A short, tense few minutes later, the pureblood looked ahead to spot her partner in crime waiting near their rented speeder.

Eyeing her with a playful smirk, unlocking the speeder and climbing inside, she simply had to know. "Did you get it?" Her eyes flickering with excitement. "And that catty bitch?"

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

While still amidst the chaos, Maeve skillfully let the amulet vanish into her cleavage, storing the necklace in her bra, basically. Why? Oh she wasn't sure whether she'd run into the pureblood during her escape and also, she wasn't entirely sure whether it wasn't worth more than the rubies...obviously, it was also safer down there than in her hand.

Maeve briskly jogged off the property, which wasn't a suspicious move given that countless people fled in panic. However she had barely reached the speeder when she turned and spotted the hood she had met in the cantina earlier that night. Fuck. There was her crimson potential problem in this.

Could she even screw Ruby Rae over? It seemed like a bad idea, so she leaned against the speeder, a smirk tugging at her lips as she decided not to attempt racing off. Rae unlocked the speeder and she immediately climbed behind the wheel to start getting off this place, however throwing her a playful smirk.

"The lovely minx suffocated in my arms...it was fun to watch. Unfortunately there was no sign of the necklace though". It came in handy that Maeve was a professional liar and manipulator as this meant she kept a fully straight face while her insides were fully composed as well. "Where are we headed? And how was your deal?". She still wondered whether she had caused all the chaos in the first place.

@Xorism

 

[Nevizkas]

The lovely Qi returned empty in hand, although not without crumpling the competition in the process. "A shame, I would have loved to see it." She grinned, enjoying the moment regardless. The problem of the missing necklace was problematic considering her intel had been solid, leaving her to ponder the next steps.

Cyu directed her to drive almost anywhere but here, a safe house or the like, and soon they were heading away. "Too well, sadly. I didn't have to kill anyone." Not that she was too annoyed by it, but that itch remained regardless.

"It's probably for the best that you didn't find the necklace, anyway." Cyu teased with a nonchalant expression, as if her mind was elsewhere. "Supposedly it's radioactive and will start to burn you with exposure." Now, that wasn't entirely a lie, at least about the burning. It was said that the amulet was a conduit to pyrokinesis and with continued use would burn the user. But explaining that to a stranger was difficult, whereas radiation usually wasn't.

Now all she had to do was watch the woman curiously, seeing whether she had been honest with her or if cracks in the facade would begin to show.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

Despite the perfectly straight face she kept, she was hoping her crimson companion wouldn't pick up on her deception. Screwing Ruby Rae? Potentially not the smartest move, but she'll see about that later. Her lips curled into a devious smirk instead as she answered, "next time I'll make sure to gather some footage". Oh she didn't doubt that her apperently devilish companion would have enjoyed view of the dying minx, but Maeve didn't have enough time thanks to the chaos that had been ensued.

She went full throttle and zoomed out of the street again before dutifully following her directions. There was something exhilarating about the cool necklace in her top, knowing that it was the pureblood's object of desire and yet she had no clue. Rae suddenly came around the corner with an attempted mind game that was however way too easy for Maeve to spot as she suddenly blabbed about radioactivity.

What bs. With a raised brow, she shot her an incredulous look before her gaze casually scanned the streets. A weak try, yet Maeve knew she had to act appropriately. "That's wild...No wonder the lovely lady was a bit...off. I bet she had worn it before. But I'm glad we won't be getting any of it then". Maeve thus answered calmly, following her directions while still being all chill. If she was truly worried about radioactivity, both of them knew they'd be highly affected by now and the Minx wouldn't have seen so many days. "Are we headed for a safe house? I'm afraid they'll lock up the city after the stir we've caused". She asked after a moment, watching for police forces but not spotting anything so far.

@Xorism

 

[Nevizkas]

It didn't seem that Maeve was concerned about the potentials of burning, which either meant that she was telling the truth, or was actually a better liar than the pureblood gave her credit for. In the meantime, the directions she gave led them toward a small safe house she had rented for the mission. It was both out of sight and well blended in, meaning that it was unlikely that the crowd chasing after either would find them.

"Unlikely." Cyu said defiantly. "The people we pissed off today aren't exactly the type to run to the cops for help." Considering, their business was quite a bit more illegal than they were ready to admit. Also, the folks she had been running from when she arrived at the bar were probably of a similar background, Cyu suspected.

That's when she pulled out a small radio from the console and placed it on the other woman's lap with a grin. "And if they do, this police scanner will let us know anyway, so who cares." Soon they arrived at the destination but not before making several detours to ensure they were not being followed. Once the pair were confident that they had lost any potential tails, Cyu finally directed them toward the safe house with a convenient garage to ensure the speeder was off the street.

"There's food for several days, changes of clothes etc. Take what you need, I guess." Cyu offered to let the other women enter first after she swiped the key card to open the door.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

For now, it seemed like Rae was believing her, which was good. Maeve wasn't entirely sure whether she was 1) in official possession of the valuable artifact and 2) in safety as she absolutely didn't know whether freaking Rae wouldn't just have her killed for deception- she knew she was a somewhat dangerous and obviously influential lady but she didn't know a lot about who she really was.

"Oh well...fair". She had a point, yet if it wasn't police then, it was surely someone else like hired thugs or their own security or intelligence forces. Maeve simply didn't want to take any chances and looking for a safe place to lay low for a bit thus seemed like a good idea.

Maeve kept on driving according to the instructions she received and as she received the radio, a wide smirk crossed her lips. "I like that you're so prepared...that's something I love to work with" - Well thoughtout plans and great preparation. They truly seemed to match in the way they worked.

Maeve rolled her shoulders as she alighted and carefully scanned their surroundings before she allowed her muscles to relax. She followed her to the safe house and met her gaze before entering. "Perhaps we won't need it, but I guess it's better this way". She'd then take a look around, realizing that it was nothing fancy but more than decent and with enough stuff to survive. "So...any chance you've been connected to the chaos that suddenly broke loose?", she curiously wanted to know, a smirk still on her lips.

@Xorism

 

[Nevizkas]

Trailing Maeve into the hide-away, Cyu glanced about the temporary accommodation with a subdued look about her. It was highly tempting to just throw the other woman out of the front door and simply take the longest bubble bath to rest from the day's woes. But that wouldn't solve the biggest problem on her plate.

"No, they were shooting at another red-faced woman that just happened to be there at the same time as me." She answered in a stern, mocking tone. Cyu stepped into the larger room, kicking off her shoes and making her way toward the couch to put her feet up and inviting the brunette to do the same. "I do try to plan for every eventuality,.." She started to say, attempting to briefly search for the remote.

Extending her mind out with the force, the pureblood felt a familiar pulse that she was looking for, "..that way there are fewer surprises." she said, with a mischievous smile as she picked the remote up.

Flicking the screen on and dropping the volume to fill the background void, Cyu turned to face Maeve on the couch. In the process, the pureblood pulled up her knees, holding them with her arms. "But sometimes surprises can be good things., right?" Eyes wandering the turquoise fields before her.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

Maeve wasn't entirely sure whether Rae was even planning on staying with her, but for now she followed her inside. However, she suddenly hit her with full blown sarcasm that made her met his gaze with one raised brow. "The poor girl", she replied with a smirk, slightly teasing back as she however followed the others invitation.

Maeve was on her guard still, the cold metal on her breast being a non-stop reminder of the danger she was still in. Rae looked around for something before she paused and suddenly picked up the remote that had formerly been hidden by a pillow. Maeve was...confused. Perhaps that was an understatement, but while she carefully watched the other, she suddenly had no plan about what unsettled her all of a sudden.

Her mind flicked back to huttball and to Ruby Rae's fiery performance, and she suddenly double questioned what she had seen back then. How dangerous swas this woman really? Panic slowly began to surface, but she tried her best to keep it low. Still, she was even more confused as Rae casually turned on the TV.

As she suddenly met her gaze, she froze. What was her game? Maeve hated not being able to read people and this was bad. She was suddenly nervous without knowing why exactly, and holding her gaze made it worse. "They can be...depends on the surprise though I say". She could still play it off as if she was expecting the classic Spaceflix and Chill, so she twirled a loose strand of hair around her finger while a smirk crossed her lips.

@Xorism

 

[Nevizkas]

As complex of a woman that Cyutadakyr presented, there was a simple matter of passion behind the majority of her actions. The thrill of the hunt, the flight of prey and the utter subjugation of their will to hers, all encompassing her favourite things in life. Though in this case, she wondered with a smirk, if this one would be any different to the others.

Maeve would feel a slight tightness around her finger at first, the one toying with her hair as a subtle ploy. Obvious that it wasn't something she was imagining but rather the devious machinations of the crimson woman beside her. The tightness would spread slowly and deliberately to the next finger, and the next, until it had encompassed her hand entirely. Watching, Cyu sat there without moving a muscle.

"I'm the surprise." She whispered, daring the other woman nearer with opal eyes, if she wanted the same.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

Maeve tried her best to keep her breathing steady, but as she suddenly felt the slightest pressure around her fingers that slowly spread further, the slightest gasp escaped her. Fuck. A force user, now there was absolutely no doubt left and she couldn't shake the feeling the crimson woman knew Maeve had toyed with her earlier.

She didn't move just then, but instead let her gaze roam the other's body. The hoody, unfortunately, left a lot to her imagination, but there was something undeniable exciting about not seeing it all right away. Her implications were clear and she also couldn't help but wonder whether the Pureblood expected these services of her...that was until she met her passionate opal eyes and the matters was more clear.

Maeve was a professional, yet she was usually careful around force users. She thus planned her next move carefully: Slowly, but with an undeniable grace she moved over, shamelessly moving onto the other's lap while her ocean eyes never left hers. Her legs were positioned right and left of her as she gently reached for her neck, so that her fingernails slowly began tracing downwards. "You're lucky I'm full of surprises as well", she breatged back, her voice sultry. It was obvious the other dictated the pace of this, but Maeve's curiosity was more than piqued. She just had to play this carefully...

@Xorism

 

[Nevizkas]

Spoiler: theme

The building tension between the two women rose dramatically as Cyu watched Maeve slide over and plant herself atop, releasing her grip in the process. As fun as it was to toy and control, the pureblood had no interest in playing with someone who didn't want to be there themselves, rather than out of a feeling of obligation or purpose.

Hungry eyes stared into the ocean, placing her own hands on the other's thighs, fingertips gliding along the outside of her legs and rising. The crimson woman craned her head up slightly, exposing her tender neck to the playful and serene touch. Beneath the hoodie and warm flesh, her heart began to race with increasing excitement.

Her red fingers trailed up alongside her form, before finally stopping at her waist. Each finger traced lines across her body as they barely touched, a sensual ploy as her hands moved around to slowly take hold of her.

"I can play nice, if you like." She cooed. Meaning that they'd continue without using the force. "Or not..." She left the ball in Maeve's hands.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

Maeve kept her brain focused on the crimson delicacy instead of focusing too much on what lingered in her bra. Perhaps it wouldn't even come to that. Otherwise, she'd just improvise, as always. She even though this was naught but some play, the Pureblood toying with her to see what she'd do, but she soon learned that they both shared a different desire.

Her fingers traced along her thighs, leaving the sensitive skin behind the thin fabric electrified. Their was lust in her partner's opal eyes, and Maeve quickly overcame the slight panic as it was replaced with sheer passion. Maeve had always been drawn to danger like a moth to a flame, yet as the other asked whether she should rather play it nice, a playful scoff escaped her.

"I'm not really someone who needs it nice", she whispered, her voice low and her breathing much more shallow already. As her nails dug into the sensitive skin of her neck, her hips slowly moved against the other as she leaned down and passionately let her lips melt against hers.

Maeve was thrilled, utterly exhilarated even as she collided with the other woman, one hand sliding upwards and digging into her long, dark hair before she slowly pulled her head back, if she let her. Her lips would then skillfully wander from her lips to her jaw, and finally to her neck, where she planted a few soft, hot kisses against her skin.

@Xorism

 

[Nevizkas]

An exhilarating touch turned into a delicious kiss, as their bodies were drawn together. The etching of skin as Maeve's nails dug into her neck were intoxicating, a goblet of pain she delighted to drink from. The pureblood continued to play along, enjoying the coarse movement of the hips, the tugging of hair and, of course, melting as the soft kisses made their way down from her lips.

A soft moan escaped the purebloods lips as each touch, the fiery passion building between the two with electrifying consequences. Watching closely as the chestnut paused, Maeve would find a familiar pressure returning to not just one, but both wrists as the pureblood finally sat up with a mischievous smile.

Slowly, her arms would feel a gentle but firm pull as they were raised above her head until the wrists came together. Her body pulled ever so slightly up, enough to straighten her back and pull her shirt up just a tiny amount. The devious tendrils of the dark side at play, turning Maeve from being in control, to being controlled. Her hands, making their way back down her side once more, carefully tracing lines along her outer thighs, teasingly roaming before returning to the outside.

With a whisper, "Good girl.." Cyu finally said as she leaned forward to plant steamy kisses along the center of her exposed abdomen.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

Maeve was no stranger to reading signals and it wasn't hard to tell the pureblood was reveling in the soft, yet passionate pain of her nails. Maeve skillfully worked her way down before the sudden invisible pressure on her wrists made her gasp ever so slightly.

She stopped where she was, her lips hovering over the side of her neck as she suddenly felt her body getting move. The crimson woman didn't use her hands, but the Force instead, and as Maeve suddenly found herself tied together by it, it was once again actual nervousity that surfaced.

Her ocean eyes flicked down to meet the ethereal opal orbs of the other, her pupils dilated and her breaths shallow. While she found her little game intoxicating, the thrill of the danger the other wielded exhilarated her while it also drive her closer to actual fear. She had to realize she was no longer the one in control and as the other moved towards the lower parts of her abdomen, she electrified the exposed, sensitive skin underneath.

Fuck. What was she even doing. She almost involuntarily closed her eyes, deciding to fully give herself into the burning the desire she felt just as heat kept spreading through her. Her heartbeat was accelerating quickly as the other started teasing her, almost growing a little impatient at how slow the pureblood played this.

"So you want me to behave?", she teasingly asked, her voice low, slowly realizing they shared their need for control, yet it was fairly obvious that their dynamic had shifted. Maeve didn't complain, she was liking this a lot so far, but her mind stayed vigilant throughout the whole pleasure while she literally waited for the other to continue driving her wild.
