Public 1st Zinder Blind Date Extravaganza!

Leddie smiled as she walked onto the ship, planning to head up to the stargazer gallery. She was pretty excited. Yes she'd been on some dates beforem but not in a long time, and it was nice this ship had a little reminder of how she grew up. Wasn't great reasons to have to live in the stars, but she still loved it. She was in a bit of a dressier looking trench coat with a nicer undershirt. No armor or helmet today. She did still have the jewelry in her horns though.

She'd finally walk into the gallery, her mouth dropping with the view of the place. She smiled, looking around a bit before hearing a squeak. She stopped and looked around, noticing her date. She smiled, walking over and waving. "I assume you're Tik Tik." She said, as she look at him.

It wasn’t long until Ko was approached by a familiar presence. He was pretty surprised with who it was. But it also answered some questions regarding how he even got a match to begin with. However, he was also surprised to learn now that Lily had used the app as well. Was it her own choice? It had to be, there was no way here Mother would pressure into this. Zinder did not seem like the kind of place to look for other noble suitors.

The Kel Dor quickly turned to face her. Although he couldn’t quite see her now, she was undoubtedly Lily. It was ironic that only after going blind could Ko more easily discern different echani from each other. No longer being misguided by his sense of sight. “G-Good evening Lily, you’re right it has been a while.” The shock of meeting her like this was evident in his posture and body language. “Yeah I kinda thought Zinder would be a fun roll of the dice ya know?” He wasn’t sure yet if he was thrilled over being matched with someone he knew or not. Would he be embarrassed if word got out that he used Zinder? Or would he be happier spending the evening with a friend?

Ko would shift his focus more onto the young echani woman before him. Tyring to actually observe what she was wearing, instead of just perceiving her more metaphysical form through The Force. “Your outfit looks nice on you.” He commented, although he couldn't perceive the more floral pattern on her top. “Oh and before I forget…” Ko remembered the tiny gift he had. His clawed hand then fished something out of his pocket. It was merely a seed. Clutching his fingers around it he used The Force to have it rapidly grow. Sucking out a bit of the carbon and moisture in the air to do so before it bloomed into a flower, a tulip specifically. A little trick he did once in front of Cora when he got to the garden with her. With his other hand his claws clipped the stem before he gently handed the fresh tulip to Lily. “This is for you.” He said with soft ‘smile’ behind his antiox mask. Although she was named after one, Ko didn't actually know if Lily liked flowers.​

Anja laughed as he made light of the minor embellishment of his height. "As long as its only your height that needs an extra couple of inches, we're all good" she gave a playful grin as she placed her glass in front of her lips and judgement on her own word.

She listened to him, he seemed nice, and seemed to care about his work which was important and highly respectable.

in terms of negotiables/non-negotiables for you in courtship,

He smile broadened, great question. "Right for the throat, well, I like that for a start.

Well, OK, so non-negotiables. I love my job, I'm damn good at it and I have invested a lot of effort into my career, if a guy thinks he can change that, he's gone, I don't care if he is otherwise perfect, I am who I am. As far as negotiables, I want kids at some point, so zeltron or near-zeltron is pretty essential. Preferably a species with hair so yeah, I'd date a human, chiss, or maybe even a Korunnai if he got lucky."

She placed her drink down and moved a little closer to him, turning to open be posture a little she was attracted to the man so there wasnt point in playing coy. "As for how I like to receive affection, I'm obviously not going to tell you everything, but I like a guy who looks at me like he feels lucky to have me. And wrap his arms around me even when I come home from work in a dirty uniform and stinking of sweat and deathsticks. I also like physical contact, which I guess leads on to how I like to show affection?" she smiled at Kase, and lifted her glass, tapping her fingernail on the stem to indicate she might like another.

"How about you?"

A pretty good one?

Valery gave him a bit of a look for the question, then rolled her eyes and turned to the crowd below, "It was... something," she said with a chuckle and a slight shaking of her head. The fact that he had done it was already unbelievable, but to call it pretty good after the fact was far more bold.

Turning back to him, Valery noticed the somberness mixed with bitterness, and dipped her head, "The terms that I had for helping you were something I requested because they can help you get that happy ending. You get from life what you put into it." Valery wasn't sure if any of this would land, or if it sounded too idealistic, but she did believe it. A life causing chaos and being on the run wasn't going to lead to a happy end.

Then, he was back to the bold, dashing smuggler.

"Like it?" She snorted. "It's not like I knew you were here, and I'm not dressed for this event either. But that said, you can be good company, Nej." He smile softened and her eyes turned to meet his gaze.

 

[Varis Harken 'TK-9437']

-‐-------Activity One--------

His hands came to rest on the female's sides, eliciting a chuckle from Varis. "Oh, is that so?"

The conversation brought a rare amusement to Varis, and he relished in the novelty of such interactions, recognizing the value in making the most of the situation.

"Oh? That just piques my curiosity even more." A fleeting mix of curiosity and confusion briefly flickered across his features before being replaced by his characteristic smirk once again.

"Both statements hold true. Many a tale revolves around chance encounters and mishaps spawned from those lost directions." Soft laughter escaped him as he reminisced about one of the numerous wrong turns he had taken.

Following her gaze toward the game table, a smile graced his lips, reflecting his familiarity with it even if he hadn't played himself.

"A creative decision, a way to keep a pretty girl by one's side, and if good luck is bestowed, it's an added bonus," Korr seemed to trail off slightly, uncertain where he was going with such a sentence before refocusing his attention on her.

"That sounds like a lovely plan." He spoke with a gentle smile before taking the lead, moving toward the table and pulling a chair back for her. "Miss."

 

[Kalic Daws]

Tag: Tibera Jessen
​

Kalic admits laughed with a bit of embarrassment at Tibera saying she found pilots hot. Not a bad kind of embarrassed, but it was pretty clear even without eyes he could pick up on everything. “Yeah. Not always the easiest life.”

As they talked some more, the question came up as to what Kalic flew, and what his kind of work was. He smiled a bit, quick to answer. “Oh. A modified BTL-S3 Y-wing. New generator, extra plating, new turret, and an AI unit.” It wasn’t the most descriptive maybe, but he was still quite proud of the Starcrest. He’d then continue. “And yeah. Nowadays I’m for hire, but it wasn’t long ago I was sort of military. Flew with the rebels that were fighting the Eternal Empire. A lot happened during that time.”

 

[Yarost]

"I assume you're Tik Tik." She said, as she look at him.

He looked up. His big brown eyes taking in the speaker. A moment of baffled wonder danced across his small face as realization slowly came to him. That...that stunning creature was there to meet him. Her eyes were bright and clear, her hair a hue of beauty he hadn't known existed outside of fever dreams and desperate hope.

He swallowed audibly.

"Yes," he croaked before clearing his small throat and trying again, "This is Tik Tik. I mean, I am Tik Tik."

He blinked finally. His body's normal involuntary responses finally shaking off the surprise that this vision would condensed to meet with him of all creatures.

"You are Leddie?" He asked taking a small step closer. He'd forgotten the stars they were supposed to gaze upon.

Leddie Gred

 

[Leddie Gred]

"Yes," he croaked before clearing his small throat and trying again, "This is Tik Tik. I mean, I am Tik Tik."

Leddie giggled at the the slight fumble of words, seeming almost as excited as he was. It might've seemed a bit odd to anyone else there, but she'd seen so many "odd" couples among Mandalorians and spacers that it didn't really even come to her mind. She Tik Tik then asked if she was Leddie, getting a smile from the Zabrak.

"It the flesh, just minus the Beskar and armorweave." She then looked around a little, seeming really excited. "So, what do you wanna do.... I mean other than the obvious date part."

Tik Tik

 

[Vitiion Daivik]

Vitiion tilted her head when Xeno said he had forgotten their name. Well that made no sense. Mostly because in her own contrived logic, she had assumed that was who Xeno was meant to be meeting here. At least that's what the cogs in her head had turned to...Little did she know how wrong she was about to be proven.

"Wait...You were meant to meet me...here?"

The Atoan blinked for a moment. It was taking her a few seconds to wrap her head around what her friend had just said...before she folded her arms along her front, deciding to take this in stride instead of just focusing on the confusion.

"In that case, you need to pay me back for all of the drinks I had whilst waiting for you."

Even though in all reality...There was nothing to pay back. Not yet at least.

[Silas Westgard]

Location: Restaurant
Objective: Go on a date
Tag: Countess Anétresya

Not too long after a voice appeared above him asking his name. Silas looked up from his position and offered the woman a warm smile as he admired her choice of clothing for a few moments. He was happy she had also made an effort for tonight, something which the knight appreciated in these intimate events.

Respectfully, Silas got up and confirmed it was him "That's me, and I believe you're Odemyrii right?" he said while casually pulling out her chair so she could sit down "My apologies for the choice, red seemed to be the popular choice at the time when I asked the bartender" Silas chuckled lightly before going back to his chair after she made herself comfy.

Silas causally ran a hand through his hair and looked down at his drink with an idea in mind "We can swap drinks if you want. If you're into your whiskey I don't mind having red wine by any means" he asked softly, his goal wanting to make her more comfortable.
​

 

[Countess Anétresya]

There was nothing short of chivalrous manners as he pulled out the chair for her. “Aurelia, yes. Odemyrii… is a name I haven’t gone by in a long while.” She must have put that in her profile by mistake, preferring to stick with the basic abbreviation of her Xonish given name rather than the one anointed by the cult.

Notice she did as his fingers combed through his hair. Perhaps he was nervous? Was she making him nervous?

The offer to swap put her more at ease, the rational worry of having one spiked glass now nulled. “If you’re alright with that. It would be a shame to waste a perfect drink.” She said, handing over the glass of red in exchange for the round glass of amber.

A waitstaff would attend to the table to take their orders. Aurelia glanced briefly at the menu, before ordering a dish with smoked fish and steamed vegetables. It felt rather odd being the one to place the orders not taking them - a reminder that she truly needed a break from work for once.

As the waiter left, she turned back to him. “So tell me, Silas, what are you seeking, exactly?” Granted, it was rather open ended question yet straight to the point. “Are you looking for something casual or a bit more serious? Long term or just seeking a fun evening on this cruiser?” She lifted the glass to her lips taking a sip.

Anja laughed as he made light of the minor embellishment of his height. "As long as its only your height that needs an extra couple of inches, we're all good" she gave a playful grin as she placed her glass in front of her lips and judgement on her own word.

Kase nearly choking on his whiskey, slapping on a matching grin as it burned on the way down.

'Well, now.'

"Then I believe...we are good", he concurred, raising his glass.

He smile broadened, great question. "Right for the throat, well, I like that for a start.

Well, OK, so non-negotiables. I love my job, I'm damn good at it and I have invested a lot of effort into my career, if a guy thinks he can change that, he's gone, I don't care if he is otherwise perfect, I am who I am. As far as negotiables, I want kids at some point, so zeltron or near-zeltron is pretty essential.

I also like physical contact, which I guess leads on to how I like to show affection?" she smiled at Kase, and lifted her glass, tapping her fingernail on the stem to indicate she might like another.

"How about you?"

Kase shifted slightly, pivoting his body to allow himself to better view Anja as she moved closer. He moved his hand closer to her's.

"I would say being able to communicate is my biggest non-negotiable. Anything we do hinges on our ability to talk to each other- to articulate our wants, our needs, our desires. If a woman can't feel comfortable talking to me about something, then I don't know how viable the relationship would be."

He moved his hand closer; he brushed her thumb.

"I think we're fairly similiar on non-negotiable- I would want marriage, kids, etc. I'm also dedicated to my work, so I couldn't imagine telling you to stop doing what you love. As for affection...communication is pretty important, as you can probably tell, but..."

Kase laid his hand upon Anja's.

"...Physical contact is also pretty important."

He smiled impishly.

"And on the subject of physical contact...would you like to dance?"

TARGETING ACTION(S) - OPEN

"Bogan karking dammit..." came the venom-toothed exhale from a Kiffar in a two-piece suit. Many had come to the "official inaugural cruise" of the dating app, and few were lucky. Some may find means of refunding, or vent their frustrations to the hapless help who are in charge of facilitating hapless or would-be romanticists in the starship, others would find their comfort at the bottom of a glass, in the quietude of the cosmic view, or the rush only offered from games of chance.

Trayze Tesar quickly realized that despite his best efforts, he wasn't an "ordinary" person, and thus, the carefree casting aside of last minute rejection wasn't exactly possible for a variety of reasons. Firstly, he was a Detective, which was how he was able to even be on here in the first place - no, not as an investigation, but as "paid time off". Surprisingly bribe free paid time off - turns out surviving a Hutt gladiatorial tournament cemented his presence in the police force, and all the benefits, or rather, more subtle means of beating back his reforms when overt bureaucracy or threats didn't deter him. ...Or did he get his PTO from being a Captain in the Sith-Imperial Banking Clan "Asset Collection" navy? It all blended together, duty to the Order and to his people.

With an exhale, and a barely audible crack of his necks, Trayze allowed himself to deflate a bit. They politely declined being here, so the Kiffar no longer had a date to impress. All he had was the grinding of his own teeth and the terrible realization that he was in an unfamiliar place with several confirmed hostiles. While he hadn't encountered a few of them, he still felt their familiar presence in the Force, and especially the famed Sword of the Jedi.

He doubted after causing his lightsaber to self-destruct and nearly ripping his own innards trying to go toe to toe with the Sword and Shield of the Jedi, the famed Grand Mistress of the Jedi Order wouldn't have favorable opinions of him. Trudging towards the casino to hide in the crowd, Trayze seemed far more antsy to the passer-bys; not only did he kick himself for the nebulous nature that his date had declined being there on the ship, and subsequently kicking himself for the paranoia, he sensed far too many Jedi for his liking - this meant one of two things.

Either firstly, they would be following their Grand Mistress' lead and are conducting a catfishing operation hitherto unseen by the Detective, or worse, actually seeking out company - knowing the potential of being paired up with Sith.

Bile swirled in his throat where Trayze conceded that whisky out to be, recalling the utter schlock that permutate the HoloNet regarding the pairing of brooding Sith and noble Jedi. He had seen the pairing happen before, not with a Jedi, but with a Mandalorian girl, but even as his darker impulses lapped at his mind and drew selfish designs within his subconscious, Trayze vowed to be more than a insipid light-sider's boy-toy. He doubt that he would ever find any common ground with those monistic monastery-dwelling morons.

Casino. Nightclub. Stargazing. It wasn't the best plans - hell it was barely a hypothesis - but so long as he moved unseen, he would be able to perhaps pick up a few amusing anecdotes about the Valery Noble being "on the market". Gossip, and the potential winnings from gambling, provided a better prospect than brooding or hiding from the half-dozen Jedi meandering about the starship.

 

[Nej Tane]

A charm, a smile.​

"Yeah well, someone's gotta scrub the toilets and run the Spice past you guys once and a while." Nej turned and smiled. That dastardly, handsome smile. It was true, to varying degrees. Nej was as complicated as they came- one minute he was a rebel fighting the Sith Empire, one moment he was fighting to save the love of his life on Commenor, the next, he was dodging Alliance patrols and CorSec to deliver smuggled goods.

Nej began to walk, turning around when she spoke, walking backwards as he meandered through the event with her.

"Some people are just dressed to kill naturally. That being said- I think you know I'm very, very, very good company. Shall we intermingle in an event? Get the blood flowing?"

Valery Noble

She smiled and gave an impressed look with his answer "Oh my stars, yes! At work I have suspects telling me they weren't doing something despite the fact we live in a surveillance state, and subordinates trying to tell me it wasn't their fault a case fell apart. I have absolutely no time for that in my personal life. If I come home and you've screwed up, tell me, I might shout... i'll probably shout actually... but then it's done and you can get back to telling me how pretty I am." she gave a big laugh rolled her hand over so their palms met and her fingers could loosely play amongst his.

"And on the subject of physical contact...would you like to dance?"

"Yes, I would love to!" they both stood up, with her making sure she stood just slightly before, to ensure he got a few seconds to admire her long pink legs, before they shuffled out of the booth and she allowed him to lead her by the hand to the dance floor. Despite her history as a D-Pop idol she had decent rhythm. She danced close to him, allowing him fairly free reign if he wanted to place his hands on her to dance. Her lightweight white dress moved and glowed under the ultraviolet lamps giving her a striking pink and purple visage. "It feel like ages since I have been dancing, get out much?" she asked when they got a moment where it was convenient.

 

[Fomys Marnarro]

Location: Stargazing Galley | Moethus Luxury Cruiser
Outfit: Casual Attire
Tags: Vulpesen

Given that her date was not human, his species was one that Fomys was not familiar with, she didn’t want to assume the signs of nerves she had witnessed were indeed that. It would be a big insult to call someone nervous based on inherited actions. She smiled at Vulpesen’s introduction and a bit of her own nerves trickled to the surface. Not because she felt any timidness, she just realized this was not how she usually went about meeting people. Was she supposed to act differently? Vulpesen spoke as if he had an important job. Should that change this interaction or would it be just normal first date flirting? ”Your senator? A local politician? Or a member of the Galactic Alliance? New Alderaan was never part of the GA, but I have always looked up to them. And when there was a bit more freedom at home it was a better time.”

She smiled at his desire to be more casual. ”Personally, I’m happy that my job allows me to ditch the formal uniform once I’m off the clock…well I assume I’ll have a job when I return home. Things are a bit up in the air with the Empire of the Lost and a failed rebellion. The new guard probably won’t be too trusting of the old citizens. Hopefully that will just bump me down a bit…”

Fomys gave a bit of a growl to herself. ”But we’re not here to talk politics,” she paused and gave him a look. ”At least I hope not. I was hoping to have a good time and make some new acquaintances. From some bonds if I’m lucky.

Vulpesen admitting to nerves actually made Fomys relax a little and hope that her rambling of her situation before arriving for the event hadn’t turned him off completely to this turning into something more enjoyable than a discussion of politics. Fomys was about at her end when it came to that subject anyways. ”Battlefields and ballrooms, huh?” Fomys responded with a wide grin. ”Good thing we ended up in the stargazing activity to start things off. I’m no warrior, but I can relate to battlefields. I can cut a rug a bit, but nothing fancy. I hope you’ll find a bit of time under the stars with a woman that this app found some potential with as acceptable. And don’t worry. I’m a little nervous too.”

 

[Serenity Qi]

Option #1



With him seeing to be loosening up, and even getting to be more comfortable with the physical contact she had initiated, Serenity offered him a smirk in return. Her smirk was more mischievous than wry. Her eyes sparkled with his being so curious.

”There isn’t much to know,” she said, eyes daring him onwards.

Emerald eyes drifted up and down his body. Kark it all. He is probably ripped to shreds.

“Look…let’s not tell each other any more about each other right?” She said. He was likely with the Alliance, or was a lover of Jedi…or some crap. She wouldn’t enjoy her night as much if she knew she was spending it with a Force aligned chunk of muscle.

“Just dance until we are karked…then spend our second wind back at your place…whataya say?”

"What exactly do you wish to know, sweetheart?"

Jalen sighed, tilting his head.

He hadn't been prepared for this kind of interaction at all. Jalen thought it was going to be slow, and a part of him definately hoped that it had indeed been the pace that he was expecting. All the flirting and suggestions... this wasn't really what he had wanted out of this at all.

The medic just wanted to make a connection.

"Just, I dunno, more about you," he shrugged. "Where you're from, what you do for a living. I'm... I-I'm not really ready to jump into the deepend just yet."

He needed to know who he was even doing so with first.

TAGS: Jalen Kai'el ​

"That's fine... and honestly, it's a relief," Tempo chirped, a genuine sense of ease washing over him.

"You have no idea how many guys have ditched me just because I wasn't 'ready to go' after a first date. It's refreshing to meet someone who values more than just one aspect of a relationship. In my experience it's all they wanna do. I was beginning to think if I didn't just goo along with that kinda thing immediately I'd be alone forever. "

With a graceful hop off the table, Tempo settled across from Jalen and lounged back in the chair, embodying a newfound comfort. "I feel a bit silly now. Sorry if I made you feel uneasy," he offered, his voice carrying a mix of apology and relief. He sighed heavily, leaning back and covering his face with his small, clawed hands, showing a touch of vulnerability and introspection.

"Uh well... I don't really know," he began, his voice trailing off as he pondered Jalen's question. "I'm not entirely sure where I'm from. I've been alone as long as I can remember... I don't recall the how or why, but I ended up on a little backwater dustball planet in the middle of nowhere. The locals call it Tatooine." Tempo's tone shifted, a spark of enthusiasm igniting as he spoke of his life.

"I run a delivery gig business out that way, manage a moisture farm at home, and work on my projects to grow plants. There are some old legends that say the planet used to be lush and green with lots of water... I'm essentially trying to terraform the desert and reverse the desertification process out in the badlands." His explanation was filled with a sense of purpose and ambition, "What about you? What do you do? Where are you from?"
