Star Wars: Capital Consipracy (Kuragari)

[jondude]

More then a little flustered with your interaction with the pretty Twi'lek waitress, you try to get your burning cheeks under control and try to just look at the menu while you, uh, study her a bit. She was kind of fascinating after all. Sipping on your drink you'd find it has a fruity peach like flavor while the foam on top actually has a pretty intense but still sweet sour taste to it, the combo a bit odd but somehow working as it tickles your tongue. The waitress meanwhile goes between other tables, taking orders and moving stacks of drinks. Looking at her from far away, you can see that behind that fishnet top, the only other things she was wearing was fishnet pants, a thong, and some high heels... she was really putting it all out there wasn't she? You soon spot another waitress though, this one a human girl who was dressed the same way... certainly that couldn't be the bar uniform could it?

A little distracted with your staring you don't really look at the menu all that much, but your attention is suddenly grabbed when you feel something heading your way quickly! You tilt back and dodge, and see a crumpled up napkin fly past your face. Looking over to where it came from you see too stern faced Ungrilans, sneering at you slightly from the next table over. "A little out of your element down here girly, don't you think?", one of them says.

[Kuragari]

"I~Is that really the bar uniform? O~Or are they just both the sort who like to tease?" Cassidy can't help but murmur as she finally settles on something to order. Still finding herself mostly paying attention to the twi'lek girl even with the other waitress seeming to be a tad distracting in her own right... she almost doesn't pick up that something is heading her way. Her hand moves to her blaster and she nearly has it drawn out when she registers that what was thrown was just a napkin. She blinks and looks over at the two Ungrilans, and scowls.

"Mind your own d-damned business, horns." She replies with a snort and a brief baring of her teeth before sighing and shaking her head, raising a hand to try and get one of the two waitresses. She's got some information, now she just needs something to eat and then she can get out of this place. Though... dangit her attention is soon drawn back to that one Twi'lek. Something about the way she moved was just entrancing.

[jondude]

One of the two aggressive ungrilans holds his hand up in a mocking manner, feigning fear when you snarl at him which causes his partner to chuckle. A second later though he's back to scowling in your direction as he puts his hands back onto his own drink. "Very scary. You're a little too clean and proper to be a port worker, so why don't you finish your drink, and then leave, yeah? This place ain't for you."

"Not unless you want to serve drinks I guess. Then you can stay. Uniform would look good on you.", the other one says, words grating on your nerves. Despite the unfriendly words though they don't do anything physical... yet.

You do your best to ignore the random snide remarks, at least getting some enjoyment in the form of watching the scantily clad server girls, the blue Twi'lek one the most. Raising an arm to get the attention of a waiter, the Twi'lek girl soon returns, clearly responsible for your table. "You ready to order hun? Maybe another round?", she asks, leaning forward in a way that puts her tits front and center in your vision. Despite the nice view though in the corner of your eye though you see a rodian join the table with the two ungrilans, leaning in close and whispering something to them. After a few seconds you one of the two ungrilans glance toward you before looking back to the rodian. By the time you manage to get an order in, the three of them would get up from their table, seemingly to leave.

[Kuragari]

"Trust me, I don't plan on staying long." Cassidy said with a scowl at them, now keeping a hand near her blaster thanks to those two. Even if they weren't doing anything, their words were a reminder she shouldn't let her guard down here. Though the comment of her in the uniform briefly makes her imagine wearing what the twi'lek and that human gal were wearing and she blushes a bit as she looks elsewhere.

"Ah yes, I am ready to order. Thank you for being so p-prompt." She says once the server arrives, and can't help herself as she gives a tip already to the lady for her great service... and just the lovely view she offers here. She orders a plate of food, though now she is slightly distracted for a different reason. As she notes those two horned fellows and the Rodian leave, she shoots a glance to the waitress and asks,

"Ya familiar with those fellows? Know if they're any trouble?"

[jondude]

Seeing your fluttery ears and hearing your ever so slight stammers, the Twi'lek girl seems to just smile all the wider, though her glance remains as smokey as ever. "Anytime hun!~ It's always refreshing to see a strong lady type in a place like this you know! Besides, your kind is quite the rarity around here.", The waitress says, her hand comes down to gently brush over the top of yours. "Mmm~ so soft!", she gushes a little with an added giggle afterword.

When you ask about the folks that had been just harassing you though she tuts and rolls her eyes. "I'd say so yeah, but then again most bozos are trouble around here. As much as you are a nice breath of fresh air, this is a rough spot for newcomers. You seem capable enough though, just be sure to keep an eye on your back.", she tells you as she writes down whatever dish you'd ordered.

With that down you just enjoy the way she moves her body, the girl clearly hamming it up for you to a degree before she finishes writing down your order and heads back to the kitchen. Set now, you resolve to try and listen a little more and while you wait for your food. You've learned some interesting stuff to go of already, but what was a little more right? Still, best to just get your food and get out of here befor-

You duck, but this time rather then a crumpled up napkin your hair rises a a low powered ion blast flies over your head, smacking some poor glymphid and knocking them clean out. Clearly that was a blast meant to stun! Sudden shouts of alarm fill the room over the already loud music as confusion begins to set in, and turning around you see the two ungrilans and the rodian. The ungrilans both have stun batons, while the Rodian is carrying an ion blaster. Worst yet there also now two armed gloovans with them!

"Get her! Tarso wants them both alive!", The Rodian shouts.

[Kuragari]

Cassidy shivered and blushed more at the soft brush of those hands over her fur, and tried not to imagine how nice they'd feel running over more of her. She... Mostly succeeds, and settles in to wait for her meal to arrive. Only to yelp as her gift warns her of another threat. She yelps this time as the ion stun blast passes over her, and her eyes widen when she sees the goons from before. The fact they have two more goons with them is even worse. Then she hears mention of the Hutt and-

Both of them alive? Both of them alive!?

Anger surges through her and she goes for the weapon she prefers to make use of. With a furious growl, she draws her lightsaber and ignites it, before shouting, "Where's my sister?!" as she charged forward with an angry cry.

[jondude]

Hearing mention of your sister sparks a sudden rage in you. You stand, demanding answers from the thugs as you draw your lightsaber, the igniting of which draws a round of sudden gasps from the various bar patrons that can see. The Thugs themselves suddenly seem a lot less sure of themselves as you begin to charge, but the rodian simply fires his ion blaster again as an answer. You side step, your charge loosing momentum enough that it affords the ungrilans a chance to grab some random human guy and push him into your way to stall you as they begin to spread out, aiming to surround you.

Soon the bar becomes a confused cacophony as people begin to run this way and that. Eyes on the prize though you focus on your attackers. One of the bulky gloovans suddenly throws a table at you, and your saber easily cuts it in half before your forced to send a blaster shot from the other one into the ceiling with a follow up of your saber. One of the ungrilans takes this time to try and use his baton on you, quickly followed by the second trying to overpower you with their batons. But you step in close to one surprising him to parry and then kick him in the gut, making him wheeze as you send him crashing through another table and chair. You quickly parry his comrade, once, then twice, then throw a surprise haymaker that connects with the bastards cheek oh so nicely and sends him reeling into a steel railing. You dodge and reflect another trio of ion and blaster shots respectively, then try to go on the offensive again.

You try to go after one of the gloovans as they are closest, and the big purple alien quickly back pedals. You end up slicing through another chair as you pursue him into the rushing crowds, the guy pushing various bits of furniture or passer bys in your way which you dodge, side step, or slice as needed. He takes a sudden quick draw shot at you, but one again you reflect, this time doing extra well as you direct the blast into the other gloovan. The red plasma bolt hits him just above his right pectoral, a puff of smoke erupting from the hit as he yells and goes down, perhaps for good.

Scanning the room, the whole bar seems to have erupted into a brawl as various groups, perhaps just confused or perhaps just taking advantage of the situation, end up fighting each other. You don't have time to examine the specifics though as you dodge another shot from the increasingly flustered Rodian, the shot instead sailing to hit the central bar behind you and make a trio of bottles explode.

[Kuragari]

Chaos quickly descended upon the entire place as Cassidy made an effort to carve a path through to the thugs. She did her best to avoid anyone who wasn't involved in the fight, though given the way the place seemed to be devolving into a riot-like melee, there was only so many options on that front. Still, her focus is quickly on the Rodian who had given the order to his buds. He was likely the one who had information, and she was going to get it from him. Whether or not he made it out of this alive was going to depend on how helpful he was!

She twirls her saber, arcing and slicing into a different thug who seemed to have decided to join in on targeting her. Or maybe it was one of the other two remaining ones who'd come with their bug eyed friend and she'd simply lost track in the chaos that was unfolding around her. Even in her anger, a small part of her felt bad for the folks who owned this place and all the others who'd just been minding their business. Then of course that just serves to make her more mad at these thugs. They could have waited til she left to try this!

The rodian seems to not be the smartest cookie in the jar, because as he keeps trying to keep away from her, he's moved himself away from the door. And is soon backed into a corner. Letting out a growl as she finally gets in range, she lashes out and the ion blaster and his hand are falling to the floor. Then she grabs at his shirt and shoves him against the wall as she growls,

"Talk. Where is my sister!"

[jondude]

In the following chaos you feel a little bad for the bar itself as things clearly get out of hand. In fact you it seems like many of the groups in the bar have taken the abrupt chaos as an opportunity to perhaps take out rivals or competitors or maybe just people they didn't like in fights that literally had nothing to do with you. It would've seemed these thugs that worked for Tarso by the looks of it had just lit up a waiting powder keg!

Such was concerns for later though as you chase down the rodian and suspected leader of the group. So dogged you are in this that you barely even process one of the ungrilans coming at you again before a deft side step and flick of your wrist makes your lightsaber slice deep into his chest, fishing him. The rodian meanwhile keeps trying to shoot his ion blaster, but it's moot to your saber skills. Backed into a corner he tries to throw a chair at you that is easily cut away then flips a table in your direction with you then bisect. In his face now he tries to shoot again, but your disarm him in the literal sense, or dehand you suppose. He screeches in pain, but soon has other concerns as you grab his shirt and slam him against the wall demanding answers. "I don't know! Tarso just said to get everyone on the ship but someone interfered and your sister ran off with them or something! I wasn't at the landing pad when it happened!", The rodian says, grabbing at your arm with his still intact hand.

Well, that was something you suppose. What the heck issue did this hutt you've never before even heard of or crossed as far you know what your sister and you? Unless something you'd done in the past somehow interfered with his business in the outer rim, but if you had that would have to be awfully contrived. Plus you and your sister were pretty by the book when it came to cargo hauling. Even the times you had engaged in a little smuggling it was usually pretty benign cargo. What was the connection here?

[Kuragari]

Well, great. So this Tarso the Hutt didn't actually have her sister. But he wanted both of them. Just whatever for? Okay, well, Cassidy could think of at least one possible reason. They were both girls and exotic, so maybe he wanted them as slave dancers? Or, ugh, something more? She tried very hard not to think about that.

Instead, with a grunt of annoyance, she let the Rodian go. But not before growling to him with her Lightsaber blade poised nearby, "If I ever see you again, your life will be what I take. Now get outta here."

If he tried anything funny, she'd finish him off then and there. Otherwise... well, she doubted she'd be getting her food now. Or her drink. She sighed, made her way up to the bar to give some credits for the damage she had inflicted, and then would see about grabbing something else from a cart or stand on the way back to the hotel she was staying at.

While trying to now figure out what her next step was. She didn't want to go to this Tarso the Hutt now without some sort of backup or support. Waltzing into his place would be asking to get captured.

Maybe she could ask that Imperial officer? She had gained some information, and he had seemed nice if a bit stuck up. She didn't really have any other contacts she could try immediately.

[jondude]

The rodian simply nods feverishly if you let him go, not saying a word as he simply dashes away into the whatever of the crowd was still around and brawling. A fight in which not all your original attackers were dealt with you quickly learn as the last ungrilan and gloovan try to suddenly nab you! You light up your saber again, a shower of sparks and smoke coming from the gloovan as you slice through his armor, wounding him enough that he falls back and scrambles away. Before you can fully address the ungrilan though it seems their two pron attack works in so far that you get a sudden and very painful shock from the stun baton that sees you gasp and lock up. You fall over, saber going out as it slips from your hand. Your attacker meanwhile just smirks. "Say good night kitty cat~", he teases, raising his baton again.

Only for a massive scaley fist to slam into the side of his head.

You watch as the ungrilan goes down, hit so hard that he's unconscious before he even hits the ground, his stun baton rolling along the floor. Looking at your rescuer you see it's that original trandoshan guy who slapped your ass as he came into the bar. He looks to you as you get your bearings, his face sort of blank as he regards you. The next second though he squats down low next to you and leans in a little. "You know, he might've not known where you sister is, but he might've known why Tarso wants you and your sister. That would've been a good question to ask.", he says, then adds, "And no, I'm not with them. I'm just a bouncer here that overheard you talking is all. Now... c'mon then.", he finishes, reaching out with a hand to help you up.

Once your on your feet he pats you and the shoulder then looks toward whatever small fights are still going on, then the next second roars so loud that you can't help but slap your hands over your ears. Whoever is still fighting in the bar stops and looks to the trandoshan who pulls out a pair of large high powered blaster pistols. "I regret to inform you we will be temporarily closed for the afternoon! Now do me a favor and leave before I make you!", he snarls. The remaining miscreants all look at each other, then to your mild surprise all quickly begin to leave. It would seem this trandoshan bouncer clearly had a reputation that the locals feared!

"Not you though. Ryora would like a word with you.", The trandoshan says, pointing at you though not making any aggressive gestures. He doesn't even seem concerned that you still have your lightsaber or blaster pistol.

[Kuragari]

The surprise attack from one of the others nearly caught Cassidy off guard. Or rather, it did, insomuch as she winds up knocked down and sent tumbling. She is unexpectedly saved though by the Trandoshan bouncer, which takes her a bit by surprise. She quickly retrieves here Lightsaber though once he helps her up, only to wince and clap her hands over her ears. Damn, the lizard had some lungs! It takes a moment for her ears to stop hurting and for her brain to finish catching up as she recalls what he had said.

"I-I suppose... though, half decent chance he didn't know that either." She rubs her ears a bit more before blinking and nodding as she says, "Ah, uh, A-Alright. Uh, who's Ryora?" She clips her Lightsaber back into place as she glances about.

[jondude]

"The owner. You've met.", The trandoshan says simply, then shepherds you toward the central bar. Once you get there he leans over the seemingly empty counter. "Situation resolved. I'll go get the door.", he says, then with that walks off toward the entrance to ward off any would be patrons for the next little while, presumably while others maybe cleaned the place up.

A moment later you hear a whole bunch of sighs of relief as people pop up from behind the counter, a few barkeepers and waitresses. Right in front of you though pops up the Twi'lek girl, dressed as scantily as ever but now with a blaster pistol in her hands. She looks relieved that she doesn't need it though and quickly puts it behind under the counter. "Sweet spirits it's been a minute since we've had a brawl like that in here. Goddamn Hutt thugs think they have more sway then they really do sometimes. Bastards.", she starts, rubbing at her forehead in frustration. She looks you in the eye a second later though and continues. "Girl, not sure what those morons wanted with you, nor is it really my business, but I do know you is that you were being a perfectly fine patron until those idiots tried to shoot you in the back in my bar, so none of this is your exactly fault and I don't fault you for protecting yourself", she says

"However... I must say, while it was impressive it see you fight there, you certainly have a... impact on the environment so to speak. An expensive one.", she then says, gesturing to the bar behind you. You turn around and fight the urge to wince a little. You hardly did all the damage of course, but the area's you fought are certainly obvious, with bisected chairs and tables, a sliced up railing, deep score marks on the floor from blaster reflecting saber twirls or wound up swings. Many of the cuts still glowed hot even.

"Now, I'd like to come to a bit of an arrangement with you.", The Twi'lek, who you guess must by Ryona since she said 'my bar' earlier, "You have kind eyes, and I can already tell you feel bad for the damage, but I don't mind paying for that. What I do need though is help around here, and a bad ass girl like you will fit just the ticket."

[Kuragari]

Cassidy blushes and squeaks a bit, blush showing through her fur again. Ryora was the cute and sexy Twi'lek waitress?! She'd have never guessed such in any instance. She'd figured she was just one of the workers. Made her feel like the tip she'd given before was underwhelming.

In any case, she listens, wincing as she glances back and notes the places she had damaged. Some of those would probably be a fair bit of trouble. "I-I dont mind helping foot the bill for some of it... I was already going to give ya some credits for it anyways..."

Cassidy then blinks and tilts her head a bit. "What kind of help? And ah, just as forewarning, I'm not sure how long I'll be sticking around. I've gotta find my Sister after all, figure out who it was she went off with when that Hutts attacked our ship's hangar..."

Still, she certainly felt a desire to make things up. If there was something she could do to pay back for the unexpected trouble...

[jondude]

"Is that so eh? Well, I'll take that risk. All good business has risks after all, and you look like the definition of good business.", Ryora says, smirking a little as she looks you up and down.

Going back to your question about what kind of help though she gets right to it. "Essentially, we're short staffed here. We deal with all sorts of ruffians here, so a lot of my staff, especially my waitresses, turn over a lot. Especially so since the Imperials don't give a womp-rats ass about what happens in the lower levels between us little folk so security is bad. What I would like from you is to work here, either as a bouncer or waitress. Or if you're really bold, maybe a dancer in the lower level.", Ryora pitches, standing up tall and giving you a saucy look. As she does so she thrusts her chest out, making your eyes fall on her fishnet covered tits where her nipples were still on full display. "I'll even let you keep the tips, among other potential bonuses~", she adds on with a husky tone.

"Off course, no need to do anything right now. We'll need an hour or so clean this up anyway. Why don't you give me your comm number for now, and you can come back later today or tomorrow. By the sounds of it you're eager to find your sister and all, and I wouldn't want to keep you from that. In the meantime though...", she says, then pulls out what appears to be a to go bag with the food you ordered. "Since you paid for it and all."

As you take the bag though one of the other waitresses suddenly calls out. "Hey this guy is still kicking Ryora!", she calls out, pointing out to the ungrilan that had stunned you before the trandoshan guy had knocked him out. This might be a good opportunity to ask some more questions! He might not know much either, but sometimes even knowing what someone didn't know could be useful too!

[Kuragari]

Cassidy once more finds it hard to look away from Ryona's breasts. It helps that they're so easily visible given her attire, but also well they're very well endowed. Much like her sister's were. In any case she finds herself unsure at first. She could be a bouncer, she supposed. Though, well, she'd need probably need to stick more to her blaster unless Ryona was willing to risk the potential of folks losing limbs. She wasn't sure how good she'd be as a waitress... that was the king of job that involved being more of a people person. Plus... she wasn't sure she'd be able to handle the attention the waitresses seemed to get. She'd already gotten groped without even wearing their uniforms!

"I~I don't think I~I could be a dancer." Cassidy says, a bit flustered at the idea. "T~That's more the kind of thing my sister is inclined towards... w~waitressing too. S-She's the people person, and the one who likes showing off." She rubs her arm shyly a bit, leaving the bouncer option available to her assuming Ryona didn't manage to try and convince her otherwise. She does however go ahead and give her comm number over, and then blinks at the bag.

"Wasn't actually expecting my food still..." She murmurs softly, thanking Ryona as she takes it. Then she promptly sets it down and dashes over to the thug still alive. In an instant, her saber is out and she flicks it on as she looms over the thug.

"I want some answers. And if you value your life, you'll tell me what you can. Otherwise..." She glances to her weapon, then adds, "Why does the Hutt want me and my sister? And what do you know about those she made off with when that slug's men showed up?"

[jondude]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Sorry realized I spelt Twi'lek ladies name wrong in the last post so my bad there.

The ungrilan wasn't conscious still when you get to him, but a stinging slap to the head seems to get him back to the world of the living. He gasps and sputters, his eye wide and each in a different focus. It was clear to you that he was heavily concussed by the trandoshan's punch, but you don't exactly feet any sympathy for the guy. You plant your foot onto his chest and light your saber, the tip near his face as you give your not so subtle threat.

"I don't know, I don't know!", he starts, but as you tilt your head he starts saying anything and everything, eyes locked onto the lightsaber. "I barely even know the rodian guy beyond him being one Tarso's goons! He always comes around here and pays us do odd jobs for them and stuff is all! I honestly don't know nothing about your sister or why Tarso wants you both. Kiff just said it had something to do with getting even with some togrutan Tarso is looking for! By the sounds of it they scammed Tarso out of a bunch of money or goods or... or something! I don't know!", he blabbers.

A togrutan? Sheesh, what kind of yarnball was this turning into? Maybe that was Holly Magnolia? You ask the goon as much.

"I don't know! Sounds like a human name to me but Kiff didn't say anything about that! I swear!", he blithers on.

[Kuragari]

She didn't get the impression he was lying. She lets him squirm for just a moment more before she glances to Ryora.

"Got a preference on if I just let him go or not?" Cassidy was inclined to let him go, provided she never had to see his ugly mug ever again.

[jondude]

"Well, while I'm used to getting rid of the odd body I don't like to make a habit of it. Still though, you go on. Me and the ladies need to... extract some payment for the fight he started.", Ryora says to you, suddenly pulling out a stun baton of her own and lighting it up. Meanwhile two of her other similarly scantily clad staff, both human girls, seem to find some bats and all give the haggard looking ungrilan some cross looks. Ryora and them pass and take over, the Twi'lek girl pausing by you and giving you a friendly pat on the butt. "We got this sugar. You run along now~", she says.

Left your own devices, you could back to your hotel room or perhaps go back to the starport and see if you can get access to your ship now.

[Kuragari]

Nodding to them, she deactivates her saber and moves away. Then squeaks when she gets pat on the rear as she moves to leave. Her tail hikes up just a bit and twitches, and she is left blushing as she grabs her food and heads on out. After a moment of thought, she decides the first thing she is doing is going to her hotel room and eating. Seriously, she was hungry after all that.

But once that was handled, assuming nothing else decided to get in the way of things, she'd go off to visit that Imperial Officer. She wanted to ask if he knew anything about Tarso, and mention that he seemed to have played a role in the fire fight in the hangar. Who knew, maybe she'd get lucky and he'd wind up sharing something she could use to try continuing her search as well? And hey, he'd know for sure if they were done with the ship or not.
