A girls gotta eat

[Namarii]

Throughout the market place on Tatooine all the vendors and buyers were going about their busniess, selling or buying what they could. A simple enough life on such a wretch of a planet, but then that was life to some. Needing to do what you could with what you had if you hoped to survive in this harsh reality. But some had more effective and sometimes even more sinister means of doing it than others.

Among the food vendors were large groups of people trying to get their hands on whatever food was fresh or ripe. But some vendors didn't see as they were being watched but hungry eyes. When they weren't looking small child hands would quickly snacth what they could without being seen. Some were natruals at this, others their first time. But it was clear they were all children when a lot of them ran off with hidden foods in their sleeves. None of them looked like the poor types to need to steal, yet some could say it might've been them misbehaving. However there was something else at work here as it turned out they were all boys.

The boys all ran back towards the same alley where, waiting for them, a green glad woman sat on a few crates stacked together to look like a throne. She was sitting with her legs over the left arm and stroking her hair as if waiting for them.

Seeing them coming she sat up and said "Well?" waiting to see the food they brought. When they revealed all they had she said "Oh, such clever boys you all are."

They dropped the food into a pile before all saying "Thank you, princess." in unison.

Without giving the boys a second though the woman began feasting down on the food, not caring about the boys at this point enough to thank them or anything. Though, by the looks in thier eyes, it was clear the boys were not thinking stright. If anything they seemed almost entraced.

"Excuse me, princess?" One boy said, making her stop to see what he wanted. "Do we get what you promised now?"

"Oh of course." she said. "How silly of me." Standing up she made them get in line before, going from one boy to the other, kissed thier foreheads. When it was done she said "Now run back home to your mothers. When you get home, you won't remember a thing."

"Thank you, princess." they all said again before running off.

She gave them a little wave goodbye before turning and saying to herself "Gutter snipes." and proceeding back to her eating.

Ah,Tatooine,the one place Noah could find mods for weapons,or blueprints for mods that were illegal in most places. So now here he was with two satchels full of mods for slugthrowers,blaster and vibroblades alike,totaling nearly 150,000 credits. When he passed by an alley,he saw a most peculiar altercation happen and frowned and shook his head. "You know,you should really be nicer to people like that." Noah informed her as he propped himself against a wall,making sure to keep his hand on his Corek Custom Revolver,just in case.

Veino looked up from where he'd been slouched, bemused as the small group of boys trooped out of the alleyway they'd entered not long before. At least some inhabitants of this blasted rock seemed to enjoy themselves. But perhaps, younglings everywhere could enjoy themselves in almost any situation. He frowned. Something seemed off with them. Their faces were especially odd. Like they weren't acting under a clear mind. That was suspicious. He rose slowly, and glanced around the market. Nobody seemed to be paying much attention. He checked to ensure his lightsaber was secure in the pocket of his great-coat, adjusted his hat, and slipped into the alleyway, stopping short in surprise at seeing the woman and her faux throne. He raised an eyebrow. That was unexpected. Especially the military-looking man also leaning against the wall. This was turning into quite a party.

Sitting up when she'd heard the man, since she was sitting on her "throne" again, Namarii looked at him and looked a bit annoyed. Though, taking a closer look she could see how handsome he was. She gave an interested smile as she walked over to him, or more struted.

"What's the point of being good when it's so much fun to be bad?" she said as she came closer. When she was close enough she brought her face almost nose-to-nose with his and asked "So what brings you here, my handsome man? Curious to see my little hide-away?"

She had not noticed the other man who approched from the otherside. Though that may or may not become apparent to her depending on what he would do. But for now she was too preocupied with the one in front of her.

What can one say, he was doing his own dealing now and his company was finally expanding. Now he was working on setting up trade with this planet and get some more merchants here. They would be able to make more money and support there families that was his goal. To one day unite the galaxy under one ruling, but the factions of now are all crazy. So it would take some time and his will to get stronger to make a difference. Than he noticed a group of children stealing from the pile, but what the hell.

One of the children was one of his employee's son, what was going on? He followed the source, finding that the kid came from a nearby alleyway. It seems to be magic of sorts, he was practitioner of the art because of his training with a witch. So he could feel the work was here, but he only noticed a few figures in the way. So he did what he did best and put on his mask watching from afar. Waiting to get into the conversion, or destroy it....which ever came first.

"Lady,trust me. I've got no interest in what your selling. I admit,you are one very attractive woman,but I'm not in the dating game right now." Noah informed her as he looked down at her from when she pushed her nose up against his,once she did this Noah took a step back to give them a little distance,since this woman was now getting in his personal space.

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino subtly reached out with the Force, trying to gauge the situation before intruding. He stiffened. Multiple Force users? This could get interesting then. Especially if she was the one responsible for the children's strange behavior. Who was the other though? And where? A Jedi would be preferred. Then he could just slip away, hopefully unobserved. If not, he would have to intervene to prevent whatever happened from happening again. Hopefully it'd go better than last time. Togoria had been a disaster. He squared his shoulders and softly stepped farther into the alleyway, face shaded by the hat.

He was rather glad the other man had had her focus at the moment. More time to scout and prepare. He stopped himself. Stop thinking like that. Calm. He took a long, slow breath and waited for calm to return. Much better.

Seeing him back away Namarii pouted for a moment before a develish grin spread across her face. "Oh no, you misunderstand." she said as her eyes began to glow. "That wasn't a request. It was an order." Using her magic she began to speak to him, her voice sounding almost echoed by the power she used. "You will devote yourself to me. Your mind is my toy and your life mine to control." Depending on if he, or anyone else who heard this, had a strong enough mind, the spell would seem like a great tingling in their heads before the feeling of their minds going. If they were weak it would work and they would be loyal, otherwise it would certian hurt their heads.

Thirteen years as a commando just didn't promote physical strength,but do to the things Noah had to do,he had to have a very great amount of mental fortitude. So when the woman tried to creep into his head,all it gave him was a pretty good headache,and one hell of a bloodlust for the woman in front of him. Quickly,with the skill of a practiced gunslinger,he pulled his 12.7mm Revolver and placed it right under her chin. "Lady,you picked the wrong person on this planet to feth with."

 

[Jarik de Celanon]

“Such,” his voice slithered from the opposing end of the alleyway and there he stood, human-looking, and attracted to the area by the application of the Force “loose application of one’s ability.” It was perhaps unclear as to whom he was referring to – the soldier, or the thief. Nevertheless, he was referring to both. A trained soldier pulling a gun on a woman in the middle of an alleyway, a woman who nonetheless seemed to creep into the minds of boys and men alike. He wondered just how soon this situation would be interrupted by a mindless drone, bent on saving their princess. Cocking his head slightly to the left he noted another man. The Force flowing freely into him.

Moreover – here he was. A man of secrets in an alleyway with a witch, a likely Jedi, and a soldier. He had taken his form of Jarik. A human, tall and thin, who had earned a Doctorate in the study of alien biology, and currently worked for the Galactic Republic’s Ministry of Science. Always expected somewhere but this is where he was instead. A sandbox of a planet. Crime was normal, socially acceptable even, and the prime economy in its small sand blanketed towns. Beyond their walls, mad men who made the sand their home, scavenging entrepreneurs, and dragons that treated the desert as their ocean.

“Admittedly I did not expect to walk in on a soldier ready to gun down a witch, while being stalked from behind by a Jedi. So, what do we have here?”

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino felt the Force-suggestion behind her words, and he threw up his emotional walls again, not entirely sure they'd work against this. He really hoped so though, and then the suggestion hit, hammering at his brain. He gritted his teeth and quivers ran down his neck as he fought off the suggestion. Sweat beaded down his neck. But, it passed, leaving him feeling slightly drained and pale. He gave a weak smile at @[member="Jarik de Celanon"]'s question.

"I have no idea."

@[member="Noah Corek"] @[member="Namarii"]

 

[Grimm]

Grimm had feel the words and instantly put up his defenses, the witch said to always have a wall around his mind. It was always the easiest to attack if someone was never trained to protect it. He shook off the feeling of her trying to pry, as his own power seemed to push through. Dazing him for a moment, before he came to his senses and pulled out six small knives between his fingers. Yet, he had an idea come into his head as he would like to test the rivers.

So he pulled out his dual blasters, aiming them on the head off the new guy and women. Like this was some sort of stand off, but this would only get worth now. He didn't want to get someone shot, but it was starting to look that way.

" How about we all just stop being stupid. Before we all end up getting somebody killed."

Seeing how he resisted Namarii should've know better that his mind was a bit too tough to crack. It wasn't like the boys she'd tempted ealier who never had the proper training or mentality to have resisted. But then again she'd not had much experince with many adults wwhen using her persuasion powers. Her head titled up when she felt the gun pointed on her chin, looking annoyed at the man for putting it there. She was about to speak before the arrival of one man, then another, and then another. One of which she could see was a Jedi and the other, given the odd aura he gave off, a Sith. The third one however seemed to be something else, something she wasn't sure of.

Still, seeing all of these men about made Namarii looking around, despite the gun she on her, and said "Oh my. This is starting to get interesting. So which one of you boys gets to be my knight in shining armor?" she asked in a very seductive manner.

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino gave a short shake of his head as he began to notice the developing, sharp headache. Great. Just what he needed. He ignored it for the moment, and then the meaning of the question sank in. A little ironic, actually. Knight in shining armor tended to end up being his job, especially since he joined the Imperium. Granted, he didn't have his armor yet, but still, that did end up how he behaved. But this time? Not a chance. He shook his head.

"Since you all just try to take over our brains, probably none, and I second the idea of stopping before somebody gets killed."

@[member="Namarii"] @[member="Grimm"]

 

[Namarii]

Namarii gave a little huff when @Veino Garn gave his answer. "Well you being a jedi makes it ironic." she added. Still looking about this was an odd pickle to be in. And here she just wanted to get some food, maybe have the boys pickpocket a few unsuspecting people here and there. Nothing major. But no, there had to be a man of the law with a gun pointed at her head and now a couple of darksiders and a rouge jedi. Hearing them give their answers to not have this go too far, Namarii reached up and held @[member="Noah Corek"] and said "Come on, let's not do anything severe." in a more innocent manner. "I know I've been a bad girl, but that doesn't mean you have to punish me like this. I'll be a good girl, honest." she gave a sharp wink to him.

Noah had to admit,if the woman hadn't tried to take over his mind and they had meet somewhere else besides Tatooine,he would have asked her on a date. But she had tried to take over the mind of the man who commanded one of the most elite units in the western half of the galaxy. "Lady have you ever heard of the Omega Protectorate or the Omega Pyre?" Noah asked the woman as he untangled herself from her and stepped back even farther and waved a hand to his four man security team,which was a signal for them to hold out.

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino gave small eye-roll. Jedi. Always a Jedi. There were more sects of Force users than he could count on two hands. Why did everyone assume he was a Jedi. "I am not a Jedi. And I have heard of Omega Pyre, and if he's involved, I'd suggest you back away slowly." That would be really awkward. Might even cause a diplomatic incident. He really, really didn't want that.

[Jarik de Celanon]

Whispering. It filled his mind, distorting the lines of their body, shimmering and stretching, connecting to a specific point and reaching out to him. Then he closed his eyes. The lines drew themselves to those around, and he followed them through the Force. A small application of what he had managed in his years. Jarik touched the minds of random civilians, extending the drumming of the whispers he hears to them.

A merchant, one of the boys the witch used, a sketchy appearing man, and what was likely a hunter. They turned from their lives as if irrelevant to now, whispering beneath their breaths "My princess", over and over. They approached the alleyway from both ends, the merchant directly to himself for show. The others to the other men here.

 

[Namarii]

Hearing of the Omega Protectorate, Namarii gave a little flinch in her eye. She knew about them and, knowing what she did, that meant she could be in a lot more trouble than she thought However she wasn't going to just lay down and let him have her. Instead she played it a little smarter than that.

"Hmmmm. Omega Pro-tect-orate?" she sounded out. "You know I think I heard it somewhere. But, for the life of me...I just can't put my FOOT on it!"

Before @[member="Noah Corek"] could react she jabbed her heeled show into his boot. While he delat with that she grabbed his shoulders and pushed herself up and over him, using an acrobatic move to spring her legs out as she did. When she landed behind him she did a few sumersaults back until she was standing near @[member="Jarik de Celanon"]. By that time she saw all the other people arrive, calling her princess and looking ready to defend her. She looked around, a bit confused by this, before smiling and thinking her powers were better than she thought.

She held up her arms and said "My people, your princess is in danger. Please, protect her from these horrible men!" she pointed at Noah and @Veino Garn

[Veino Garn]

Veino shook his head. Great. Just what he needed right now. A few brain slaves to come and attack him. It'd be more difficult not harming them than it would be to escape or defeat them. He held up his hands. "No need for violence here. This can be solved with discussion, since it's a bit of an odd coincidence we're all here." That and he wasn't too excited about facing another Force user in battle. He tended to come out on the wrong end in most cases.
