Open Social Zest on Zeltros

[Nash]

The fact that her commentary had the infamous Karys spraying his drink and losing composure didn’t help things at all. She expected a Force choke or maybe even lightning next. She was covered in nose alcohol and was probably extra flammable - oh yeah, he was going to go with pyro since he had that pyro amulet. She braced herself for it, but was instead shocked by Karys’ response. It was her turn to devolve to a shade of purple when he casually quipped back while she was drying herself off.

‘Kaldar’ addressed her and that sent her into a new series of coughing, “I did what now?” She blurted out, her gaze flicking down to said pants. While Vel did an incredible job of introducing her that made her feel warm and fuzzy inside, the unfiltered street side was still roaming free, “Are you a teacher at the academy or something? I wouldn’t mind coming around your office hours for some extra credit if you catch my drift,” She said with a wink before she overheard Karys’ addressing Kaldar as well. (@Phoenix )

“Call me King Kordan because I’d climb that skyscraper like nobody’s business before I'm wrecked,” Nash blurted out with her gaze flicking up and down the behemoth of a man’s body again. (@Apollyon )

Why the fuck am I talking? Why are my thoughts just coming out like vomit? Externally Nash had a mortified expression on her face. She glanced over to spot Vel (@Rom) attempting a hasty exit and she immediately grasped him by the wrist, yanking him back, "Boy you ain't going nowhere," She said before she thrust a shot glass into his hand. If she was going to suffer through whatever voodoo magic was going on, so would the rest of the acoventure squad.

 

[Kaldar]

Oh and look, it was that other Acolyte from Athiss. What do you know, it was just a full reunion.

His face was all smirks as Karys seemed to pick right up where he left off, and Kaldar grabbed a pair of shots before throwing them back as the introductions unfolded.

Who is a Longfangz? Kaldar asked with a quirked eyebrow as the Barabel started trying to slink away, apparently now realizing that he was naked. Kaldar almost felt bad for him for a moment.

Sorry, no office hours for me. I only work in the field, but if you want to head out sometime, I'm sure I could give you a great ride. To a mission, of course. Nice ship and all that, he said, motioning with a thumb behind him at nothing in particular to indicate "his ship."

Kaldar just laughed into his next glass as Nash talked about climbing Karys's skyscraper.

Well, kriff, don't worry about it, jingle bells. At this rate you won't be the only one naked by the end of the hour. Have a drink, he said, grabbing another shot and handing it across to the Barabel.

@Sreeya @Rom @Apollyon

 

[Trodai Narat-iv-Adas]

As Trodai watched the chaos unfold aabout all he could do was laugh. The twi'lek Nash, as he found her name was now, blurting out what she had and squirting drink on Karys and a unknown human, Kalder was it, if he heard right and it was highly amusing. It reminded him of his time with Azar when he was all nerves. He could see why, Karys was a excellent specimen of a man. He couldn't tell if it was him or just the pheromones talking. Either way he didn't mind thinking it, it was true.

He had seen and could see why Azar was drawn to him, along with everyone else.

And then he heard a comment about everyone being naked by the end of the hour, skyscrapers and jingle bells. Making him laugh again. Trodai approached the rather handsome outsider. Even for a human, at very least he was a superior specimen to that bearded fool. Trael. Or so he thought. "He refers to Azar, I don't think we have had the pleasure of crossing paths just yet. Trodai." he said with a devilish smile, this human looked very nice indeed.

Pheromones were not helping anything. He knew this night was going to be interesting, especially with all those before him and pheromones flowing.

@Phoenix @Apollyon @Sreeya @Rom @LouJoVi

 

[Arak Ragnos]

Arak had just began to settle into the crowd when bodily fluids were going everywhere. He backed away from it and his eyes caught a glimpse of the Beskar Buns on Beskar Buns. He shook his head No, I know it looks good but I shouldn't look. He turned around trying to get out of the situation. But ended up bumping into Freyja (@LadyRen) "Sorry sexy your in my way." He casually said before covering his mouth. His words slipped out of his mouth without his control he needed a drink.

As he reached the bar and went to order a drink Beskar Buns (@Sreeya) had been forcing a shot into the lizards hands. "Toast to you beautiful ass." He blurted out. He quickly put his face into the bar as he turned purple. Yup this is how I die. At the hands of a muscled up fine slab of meat. Actually that isn't the worse way to die.

He mumbled his order to the bartender and just sat there avoiding looking at anyone to save his dignity. He suddenly heard someone address him and drape something over his shoulder. When he turned around he saw Bubble suit but he wasn't in a bubble suit and he was hot. He watched him prance away with the other fine slab of meat. Definitely not the worse way to die.

 

[Karys]

Karys was enjoying himself. He was enjoying the banter. Nash was her name. Karys tucked it away in his memory, he’d look into her more later. Her rebuttals to both Kaldar and him elicited a throaty chuckle.

His golden gaze shifted down to Kaldar as he mentioned his ship. A smirk appeared Karys’ face and a glint in his eye.

“Why not show us both?” He questioned, his eyes flicked back to Nash and he winked. “After all, I’ve shown you the inside of mine.” The innuendo was clear, even if it wasn’t entirely honest.

Karys’ smirk widened into a grin at Nash mentioning his tower. If she only knew, she might be less eager.

“Trust me, this tower would wreck you. But you could climb it all the same.” He replied with a smirk.

Karys’ eyes would slowly wander down her body in return, drinking her in. His gaze would return to look her directly in her blue eyes. Karys was shameless and he didn’t care if she knew it.

Her Barabel friend then tried to slip away, bashful over his own nudity. Karys smirked at the shy display. He had gone through a period of shame over his scars, Azar had pulled him through those darker times. He’d taught Karys to view them as the tapestry his tale was written on. He’d shown Karys the beauty in his war wounds. No-one would ever replace Azar in his heart.

“Why are you ashamed?” Karys asked him bluntly. “Your scales are handsome and we are lucky to have seen them.” He continued. “Plus, this is Zeltros…people are fucking in the corners.” Karys stated, nodding towards curtained in discreet areas where precisely that occurred.

Then Trodai appeared. Karys gave him a smile and nodded his head in greeting.

“This is one of my husband’s lovers, Trodai son of Adas.” Karys introduced calmly. “And yes, he speaks of my husband, Azar Kressh.” Karys stated simply.

@Sreeya @Phoenix @Rom @Akheron

 

[Nefid]

I am here. I read the dress code.

Black is a color and so very sparkling.

 

[Feifi Candorus]

Meanwhile, feifi was writing things down, sheeeeesh!! Ever watching these lines made her blush slightly, or were those the pheromones..

She couldn't tell and frankly couldn't care less, she was writing this shit down!

 

[Trodai Narat-iv-Adas]

Trodai was waiting for an answer from Kalder when Karys introduced him to the human, smiling as he spoke "Yes, Karys here is correct. It is true I am one of Azar's lovers however I am free to sample of many different fruits, who knows play your cards right you might found out yourself." he replied, offering a wink. It was then he heard the other Pureblood, from Ragnos shout out. He laughed at seeing his eyes drifting, and bumping into Freyja making him chuckle. Completely hopeless and lost. Much how He once was.

He really needed to see who his funny, rather handsome red man was. He was hilarious.

As the man blurted out the words, Trodai turned and mistakenly thought he was looking at him. And so he spoke up, smiling at the younger Pureblood before deciding to re-join him, nodding at Kalder and Karys as he departed and scooting next to Arak to continue what conversation he had tried to earlier. As best he could. Offering a look up and down before speaking himself. "Thank you handsome, your not so bad yourself. You shouldn't have to hide." He said noting how he had tried to hide himself in the bar, teasing the Ragnos Pureblood.

"You remind of myself you know...in some ways. I used to be just the same. Brooding, thinking you can hide." he said, nudging him with an elbow. "So, shall we start again? I'm Trodai of House Adas and who might you be. I haven't seen you around before." he gazed at Arak, smiling, admiring him.

Pheromones and alcohol combining to a potent affect.

@Javier esschoolbus @Phoenix @Apollyon

 

[Nash]

Husband? Nash had to prevent another stream of alcohol from pouring out her nose. Her gaze flicked over to the ring on Karys’ finger, the one she didn’t notice until just now. Not only was she making an ass of herself, but she was trying to hit on a married man. Wait, husband’s lover? What kind of marriage was this? Her head was spinning and she thought another swig would help. Nash vaguely heard Arak (@Javier esschoolbus )of all people blurt out some questionable commentary. It caught her so off guard that she actually burst out into a fit of giggles.

She leaned in towards him, grazing her fingernails under his chin, “Are you a science professor? Because I’m sensing some chemistry between us,” Nash said with a little laugh before drawing back again. She threw back her drink and slammed the glass down, deciding she was done with all the chit chat.

“All right, Kaldar, take me on a mission to the dance floor,” She declared. Nash was a bit too buzzed to work out the mental gymnastics of Karys and being married and what that entailed, but the cute human seemed single enough. (@Phoenix )

 

[Serene]

Spoiler: Music

Song

Zeltros was the first chance in a long time for the woman to enjoy herself. Not that she would let her guard down, but the empathic energies were far more enjoyable with the aid of the locals' pheromones'. She spotted one particular shade of green she liked in the establishment and moved to introduce herself. The woman slunk through the crowd and found her way behind the acolyte. "What is your name cutie fang?" She looked past the half-mirialan acolyte the next moment to wave of her hand towards the bartender, telling them she wanted a refill of the drink she had already imbibed. An empty glass made its way to the counter for the staff to recollect and signal she wanted another.

Anyone looking at the sith would see Serene was wearing a thin shirt as a jacket that kept her warm from any breeze. Underneath she had a bright yellow top, and white jorts and a pair of bedazzled sneakers to match. A set of AT specs rested on the champion's face as a stylish accessory to complete her look. Those that looked close enough would see every inch of her visible skin was already covered in body glitter.

There were others present, some of which she publicly knew and others privately. She kept everyone else's location in mind and their outfits. She wanted to make her rounds eventually and there were several people she wanted to talk to. Tonight was going to be fun.

@Xorism

 

[Freyja]

Just a little while later, Arak was actually making an appearance, rocking up in the suit she had found for him and the clothes suiting him even better than she had first assumed. His bars chest was like an art exhibit and while he had heeded both of her pieces of advice in terms of clothing, she was more surprised about the way he cheekily greeted them both.

"You look amazing", she cheerfully replied as she raised her glass at him, "totally rocking that suit, man". (@Javier esschoolbus) There were absolutely zero hostilities this time and she was oblivious to the pheromones that already amplified the alcohol's effects, so that the Twi'Lek's comment also made her smiek even more. Her full attention was then, however drawn by Kevin who seemed to be a totally different man this time.

She immediately remembered their exchange of Throne Game quotes and didn't doubt he wore a different face today, too. "That fit is based...I'd rather see you without that suit, not gonna lie", she cheekily threw back, a mischievous smirk on her lips before a hint of panic set it. Oh fuck. Was she that drunk already? (@Phoenix)

Kevin was asked by Nash to dance and the exchange with Karys still left her chuckling. "Oh...hey there! I'm confused by how I haven't seen you until now - you look sharp, Karys", she smirked up at him while he was towering over her so obviously. It was a shame Azar wasn't here and Freyja was still somewhat hoping he'd show up late or whatever - either way, she wondered who'd end up in the next available refresher this time (@Apollyon).

Suddenly it was Voss that was walking by and his golden suit was totally on fire. "Daaaamn, Voss, look at that", she couldn't help but run her fingers across his chest, the glittery stones feeling kinda funny beneath her touch (@Fine Dining Set).

She then, however, didn't miss the exchange around Kevin whom Nash suddenly called Kaldar and before she led him away to the dancefloor, she softly grabbed his hand and deeply looked into his eyes. "Save this next dance for me, will you, Kevin?". As she leaned in, she was hoping to send at least a shiver down her spine while her voice was barely above a whisper. Clearly, she made sure Kevin was intonated properly.

Trodai suddenly joined in as well and his giggle was infectious (@Akheron). "Did you just call me sexy?", she immediately asked back Arak (@Javier esschoolbus), who was still rather close, before she playfully added, "You definitely owe me a dance as well", she then added with a smirk before she threw back another one of the countless shots in front of her.

"And Trodai here somehow looks as though he's in need of some body paint...", whether the two Purebloods would be instigated to change that, she didn't quite know yet, but she was counting on the extra paint Arak was supposed to bring.

 

[Kyssiara Serket]

As soon as Kyssiara had heard about a Sith party happening on Zeltros, she knew she had to go. What better opportunity would there be to meet other acolytes, to size up the competition, make allies and feud with rivals, and perhaps even to attract the attention of a champion to be her master?

So naturally, she had arrived late. Umbara wasn't exactly the place to find party outfits, and coming from a small village on Ziost the Pureblood wasn't exactly rolling in credits. Between the shuttle ride here and the form-fitting gold dress she'd purchased and wriggled into just minutes before arriving, Kyssiara was basically spent. She burst into the club, seeing that several Sith had already arrived and begun mingling with one another. Just great; the other acolytes probably had a head start showing off to the champions! The acolyte knew she'd have to find a way to stand out, one way or another.

The air smelled of liquor, sex, and morning-after regret - no, that was actually just the sensations of highly concentrated pheromones from the planet's native Zeltrans. For what it was worth, they had amazing taste in party aesthetic. The music was booming, the lights were flashing a wide array of colors, and Kyssiara was headed straight for the bar to get something to drink. As excited as she was for this opportunity, she needed to rid herself of any nerves; there were a lot of people at this party, and likely more still to come. At least she hoped there would be; it would be a horrible look to be the last one there. The Pureblood waited for the bartender to make her drink with baited breath, the four fingers on her right hand tapping against the counter impaitiently. She needed to get out there, start mingling, and quick. Oh gods, she hoped she didn't look desperate.

@sith friends feel free to approach

 

[Arak Ragnos]

Arak was still face down in the bar when he heard someone (@Akheron) addressed him before he was nudged. Why did he give such a formal introduction they weren’t in a family palace on Korriban? His finger began swirling in his drink as he looked over the man. “An Adas huh? I’ve always enjoyed the taste of Adas. I’m Arak Ra….”

He face was turned mid introduction by Beskar Buns (@Sreeya). She then hit him with a pickup line instead a fist which was already a weird enough experience, but the fact is was an education one made it all the better. His gaze shamelessly wandered her body taking it in now that it was more on display. As she was downing her shot he quipped back, “Well then you must be the book. On the desk, spread open while I’m digging in.” His face betrayed that he had to actually think for that line.

He watched as she went to dance with Keldar was it? He was also a specimen to behold. He then was about to turn his attention back to the Adas when Freyja (@LadyRen) came over to him. He gave her a playful look, “I don’t like owing people. So why don’t we dance now?” He offer out his hand as he placed the paint down on the counter. If she took it he would whisk her to the dance floor calling back, “I’m sorry my dear but I have a dance to attend.”

He might’ve found the Pureblood attractive but he had been tasting that dessert his whole life. Now that he was free and had plenty of other desserts available he was not going to let the opportunity to sample go to waste.

 

[Juin Nayem]

Juin winked at Freyja after her compliment, serving as a nice lil ego boost for the evening before everyone else seemed whisked away in one big massive crimson cuddle puddle in the making. Sadly, the colour clashed with his vibrant viridescent scheme, or so he told himself, and thus he took no part in it for now. (@Darasuum)

Without warning, a voice rang out over his shoulder calling to him. Spinning in place with a shot glass in hand, the half-Mirialan smirked. "Juin." He said, offering a hand to her. She had certainly picked an outfit to party in, as he took a quick once over of it and all its pretty sparkles.

"Care to tell me yours over a dance?" He asked, planning to join another group already on the floor. (@Fine Dining Set )

 

[Anai Skhess]

More and more sith began to join the party, more than a few of them were around at the last social while others were a new sight for the Kaleesh lady. For once, it was nice to have the predominant skin colour as this gathering had attracted a lot of red people, but there were all kinds of species around, like the green boy that invited them to shots and looked like a Life Day tree, which was adorable in its own way and a...nudist lizard? Who somehow felt less naked than people in other parties, maybe because he looked like a scaly Ken doll, if she had to guess.

Anai's attention was drawn to Karys as he made his way towards the bar, who had probably come here for the same reason she had: To celebrate. The Kaleesh was thinking about greeting her partner in crime, but she was stopped by her own small giggling fit as she saw him lose the composure at the Twi'lek's comment. The man was usually so cool, so composed, so seeing him turn purple as he lost his composure amused her greatly.

However, it would not be long before Anai's attention was drawn towards someone else, Karys' apprentice (@Fine Dining Set), who had reached for her elbow. The young man was not only someone she had heard a lot about, but also witnessed how he got his master into a fight against a former sith master. He was both a great asset and a troublemaker, and she probably was as curious about him as she was about him.

Anai quickly downed her shot before allowing the man to fully link up his arm with hers "It'd be my pleasure." She smiled, how could she not take the offer? Not only did she love dancing, but she was also the first woman to be asked out to dance despite being the oldest sith around, it looked like she still got it...That or the blue dress was really, really effective.

She would lead Voss lead the way for now despite being the bigger sith, the acolyte had taken the initiative, so it was the least she could do. "So, Vossari, wasn't it?" Chances are they didn't need to introduce themselves to each other, no, they both knew who they were "How has the acolyte life been treating you?" The Kaleesh asked, a small way to start the conversation, but it should get things going, after all, they both wanted to know more about each other, right?

 

[Caerllion of Cyfnos]

Caerllion stopped by the bar asking for a drink. He received a glass filled with a sparkly, blue colored liquid. The Annfyn had no idea about what it was, but he considered it a good beginning for the night. Sipping some of it, he felt a sweet taste in his mouth. Without any doubt he would pick another one later.

Now that he has his drink, Caerllion turned to look at Anai (@Versok). He saw that Acolyte Freyja and Trodai were here too (@LadyRen @Akheron ). “Hello, Anai! Congratulations for your victory in Ossus. You showed those bastards who is the best.” making the Empire suffer was always a good thing. Without any doubt her and Karys victory humiliated the Imperials and their war machine.

Then he saw a very familiar Pureblood arriving. It was Karys (@Apollyon ), dressed like a bodybuilder. The Champion was a cool guy to have around. It was thanks to him that Caerllion accepted his lithe body shape and decided to wear the clothes that he was using at the moment. However, he still remembers how the guy could get out of control during a party. He didn’t want to get punched again.

He didn’t want to pay another dentist to repair his mouth.

“If you excuse me.” he said politely to Anai, before walking toward the crowd. While he did it, the Annfyn saw a reptilian person completely naked. Zeltros was famous for its debauchery, but he considered that it was early in the night for people already being completely nude in the public space.

In a calmer part of the nightclub, Caerllion found a man dressed in a leather jacket (@Alhon ) looking at the Sith in the bar. His face wasn’t strange, but the Annfyn couldn’t remember from where. “Do you mind some company?” he said, before staying next to him. “Or perhaps a drink?”

 

[Trodai Narat-iv-Adas]

Trodai could only offer the biggest smile as the other Pureblood, Arak he heard was the name swirled his drink and teased him. And further insinuated that he was much like himself open to suggestions of another nature...gazing into the man's eyes he spoke before he was unceremoniously interrupted. Trodai however knew it would be a long night and he had no intention of allowing Arak to escape quite so easily. Not now he knew there was some interest.

As he was about to dance, he couldn't help but speak up "So I see, Arak. I won't be forgetting you so don't go forgetting me now. You don't get off the hook that easily." he teased back. Noticing the paint just sitting there unattended he took the opportunity to make some improvements per Freyja suggestion. Removing his shirt and jacket, he applied a multi-coloured scheme before placing the paint back as he found it. When Arak came back he hoped he liked the improvements. As well as all those who thought to look.

His muscular, toned form on display, he decided to undertake a Sith social tradition. Karaoke. He got the DJ to change it to a more upbeat track he had sung before and began. His excellent singing voice belting out the high energy music lyrics even as he danced.

As known by those who attended the last time and his allies, he enjoyed when he had time to sing. He didn't get to do it much, and he hoped some might appreciate it.

[Karys]

Karys watched Nash’s expression shift into one of shock and horror when she glanced down at his wedding band. He contained a bout of laughter at her just how thrown off she was. He gave Kaldar a playful wink as he was dragged towards the dance floor.

“Have fun you two!” He called after them. “And don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!” He teased.

Which arguably wasn’t much, he’d fucked in a refresher after all. And right before landing on Malachor. Also during the middle of a civil war, now that he thought about it. But neither of them knew that.

Karys’ attention shifted down to the little blonde human who commented on him looking sharp. He blinked in confusion. His gaze cascaded down to his nude and painted torso. An eyebrow ridge quirked before his gaze returned to her. She had to be high.

He watched in perfect silence as Freyja interrupted Nash leading Kaldar to the dance floor. He had a feeling things were about to get interesting. And so he leaned his back against the bar, motioned for the Barabel to watch with him, scooped up another drink, and prepared to watch the show.

He hoped Kaldar wouldn’t be sappy and say something back to the blonde. It’d be a shame to have to knock out his front teeth like that.

@Sreeya @Phoenix @LadyRen @Rom

 

[Veltharion]

Veltharion let out a surprised squawk as Nash (@Sreeya) grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him back to the bar, a declaration on her lips and a small glass of something bright green that was shoved into his hand. Looking between it, the Twi'lek girl, and Karys (@Apollyon) with a puzzled expression the Barabel acolyte shrugged and knocked the shot back; eyes watering at the blisteringly sweet and sour taste of the drink on his tongue, Vel made a face and waved for another one of the fruity pink cocktails he'd been given before.

"This one iz not bashful, just... prefer to be in on the joke. But it seemz this one haz more to learn about being social than this one first thought."

He watched Nash and the human abscond to the dance floor followed by Braidz and Arak ( @Javier esschoolbuar @Fine Dining Set ) and looked around the bar at those while nodding his head along to the thumping beat of the music and sipping on his drink. Leaning closer to Karys he raised his voice a little to be heard over the music and asked, "Iz that supposed to be dancing," while pointing toward the mass of gyrating people. "This ones clan did not have many dancez that did not involve weapons or firez for offeringz to the Hungry One."

 

[Kaldar]

It took Kaldar a second to let all of that sink in. So... Longfangz was Azar and Nash was his mate (@Sreeya) and apparently Karys (@Apollyon) was his husband and Trodai (@Akheron) was his lover. Wow, that was not what Kaldar had expected.

You're all sleeping with Azar? Well, kriiiiif, he said with a laugh, finding that more than a little amusing.

As Nash invited him to the dance floor, Kaldar just smiled that smooth smile and followed her to the dance floor, surprised when he felt someone tugging at his hand and scowling slightly that it was going to ruin his opportunity.

Ah, and there it was. The deep look into his eyes, the way she had acted on Dromuund Kaas. He knew what this was, and he also knew that the moment - that opportunity - had slipped by.

The early bird, my dear, he said (@LadyRen), and slipped away like water, eyes very much on what was in front of him rather than what was behind.

And what was in front of him very much wore that dress. He moved over to Nash and let his fingers brush smoothly along her arm for a moment as he walked past her, beckoning her with the touch over to the dance floor where he began to move to the music for a few moments, getting the beat before moving closer to her.
