It was an amazing night for all at the Smuggles den cantina. The lights, the spectacle the people milling about as the camera drones were following the contestants. Tysk stood in her finest coat and cloths while she wore her sunglasses. The small data stream coming from them as she had her armor but this wasn't a battle she would need beskar'gam for... No hopefully not. It would be easier sure but she was standing there in the harsh lights with the others who were involved among her. She was letting her smirk come as she looked at the kid who was there [member="Nyx"] and the other [member="Gavin XIII"] who she didn't really know what to say about him. Then there was the one they had all came here for somewhere in the back. [member="Sar'Talani'Vek"] was known by name for now but she hadn't been there to see the three while they were waiting to see the host. She was ready for anything though she she stood tall and proud.

 

[Sar'Talani'Vek]

Talani was upstairs in her apartment above the cantina, getting ready for the "big show". The ones in charge of organizing it, and the host, [member="Solan Charr"], had deemed it necessary for her to wear a dress. So the Chiss was just finishing zipping up the back of small, silky black dress with a bit of navy blue trim around the hem and neck line. It was made to accentuate her curves rather nicely... and she felt absolutely ridiculous. "I swear, if this doesn't turn out well for me, I'm gonna kill him," Talani mumbled as she put her hair up in a ponytail, leaving her bangs, which swooped to the side, partially covering her right eye, down and in her face. She had to admit, she did look rather attractive like this no matter how silly she felt. [member="Tysk Willamina"] [member="Nyx"] [member="Gavin XIII"]

 

[Nyx]

How did she describe what she was feeling at that moment? Excitement? Dread? Anxiety?​

A mix of all three, she decided as she rolled her shoulders and straightened her leather jacket. The tattooed girl was ready for whatever was coming as she looked over her rivals for the illustrious [member="Sar'Talani'Vek"]'s affections.​

One was a woman that exuded confidence, [member="Tysk Willamina"], and Nyx was unsure if she could take her, but she would be damned if she was going down without a fight. The other, [member="Gavin XIII"], she knew nothing about, but she'd take him down. She had to.​

Nyx knew that her Master [member="Solan Charr"] was hosting this thing, and waited for him to show his grinning face, as well as the woman that she was about to fight two random strangers for.​

Surprisingly, not the weirdest thing she's ever done.​

 

[Jasper Felinus]

Now, this was a show... Jasper was looking around the room, trying to figure out exactly how drunk he'd been when he had signed up for this. Absently strumming on M's strings, he took stock of the people who he'd marked out as his probable competitors. One was a slightly crazy-looking young-ish woman with gray hair... Cute, but apparently the end result of this game was supposed to make that a moot point. Oh, well. The other was a... Damn, were all the women in this bar crazy?

Whatever the answer to that question was, another fighty-ish looking woman with a crazy smirk was looking around the room, too. And, of course, there was the Chiss lady herself... What was her core name, again? Talani? That was a nice name, he thought. He seriously hoped he didn't have to try and pronounce her whole name today... That would lead to some serious mangling of the Cheunh language. Mangling languages was not fun.

As the random thoughts in his head coalesced into one concerted thought, Jasper wondered what kind of strange people both this Solan Charr character and Talani herself were to set up a game show to find a date...

Then again, there was also the part of him that told him to shut up, because he ran around with a guitar that created sonic booms.

Tysk took in the sight of the girl who was there against her and raised an eyebrow as she removed her glasses looking over her for a moment. Sucking in through her teeth a little bit of air as the music changed to indicate they should be taking their seats. She was looking at them while taking her seat and crossing her legs while waiting for the others to get into their seats. Tysk sat in the center of the group while letting her ponytail fangle a little over the back of her chair.

Meanwhile at the podium the host of the show filling in for Solan Carr who had come down with a case of the strange skin itch sickness... The man stood there waiting for them to take their seats while he motioned for the people to sit down and be quiet. "Everyone ready?... Alright in five, four, three, two, one...... Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the first annual hopefully intergalactic dating game. We have a special group of ladies and men tonight hoping to win the hand our the talented proprietor of this establishment."

The man was there and waiting as he displayed with his hand for the lights to light up the three of them. "The first contestant from parts unknown. The mysterious gunslinger and fighter on a mission of love. [member="Nyx"].... Contestant number two hailing from the female warrior clan of the mandalorians. Mother of three and person who could break me like a twig [member="Tysk Willamina"] and..... contestant number three. Hailing from parts unknown.... a man of mystery so much we actually have nothing snappy or clever.... [member="Jasper Felinus"]"

There were cheers from the crowd as the applause sign was shown and Tysk sat there at least being able to get their names but no real information on them aside from parts unknown. She wasn't worried though as the host was speaking a little more. "And no show would be good without the one who will be testing these three in games of skill, knowledge and most important bikini jello wrestling.... wait I am just informed that game wasn't allowed... I give you [member="Sar'Talani'Vek"]. Show her some love."

 

[Sar'Talani'Vek]

Talani took a deep breath, followed by a shot of vodka, and walked out onto the stage. She wore shiny black stilettos along with her dress, and managed to walk rather gracefully even though she wasn't used to such footwear. The Chiss took her seat and tried her hardest not to glare at the audience. Oh she was going to kill Solan for getting her into this. The young woman sighed softly as she sat down in her designated seat, crossing her legs and trying to sit like a lady. [member="Tysk Willamina"] [member="Jasper Felinus"] [member="Nyx"]

 

[Jasper Felinus]

Jasper heard his name, tilted his shades down to look at the announcer real quick, and grinned like a maniac. They really didn't come up with any jokes about him being a cat? At all? So sad. He took a strum at M, wondered why the double guitar suddenly sounded out of tune, and then grinned as he found the right spot to make the sound he wanted. He hit a power chord that created a sonic boom. Not a big one, but big enough to make the hair of the people in the room swish around in the wind from it. Fun.

His tail waved around happily as he sat down and heard the rest of the song play in his head. One of his favorites. But that wasn't all that important, was it? Talani sat in her chair, and he gave her a fangy grin before pushing his shades back up his nose and quietly going back to strumming at the guitar.

[Nyx]

Nyx smiled as the announcer said her name and gave a short description, leaning back in her seat, a self-satisfied smirk on her face. She had confidence that she would come out on top. After all, her rivals were an older woman and a cat playing a guitar; what could go wrong?​

Then she saw her. [member="Sar'Talani'Vek"] came into view, and Nyx's grin grew even wider as her eyes roamed the woman she was about to kick some ass for. She liked what she saw.​

The mercenary cracked her knuckles, and gave out a cheer for the arrival of the Chiss. She was ready to do this thing and claim the prize.​

Tysk took in the sight of the chiss as she was noticing the reactions of the other ones. The woman seemed to get more focused and she was showing she was the real danger. She didn't discount the cat man but he seemed more interested in playing with himself while she listened to the announcer. "She is quite a lady isn't she, already distracting you from the price she is charging for top shelf isn't she." There were some more laughed and Tysk set her boot down on the ground grinding it a little. "For our first round we asked that the contestants be prepared for a physical challenge but since we don't have the budget for it we're going to go to some questions. So [member="Sar'Talani'Vek"] ask away."

 

[Sar'Talani'Vek]

Talani thought for a few moments before issuing her first round of questions. "Tysk, you have children don't you? Tell me a little about them," She offered her first question to Tysk. Once she had received a reply she glanced at Nyx. "You look rather adventurous, what sorts of adventures would we have together?" Talani once again waited patiently for an answer from the woman, before turning to Jasper. "Well kitty cat, you're certainly interesting. What sort of music would you play for me?" she asked her last, and strangest, contestant for the night. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. At the very least she'd end up with some new friends from this terrible, terrible idea. [member="Tysk Willamina"] [member="Nyx"] [member="Jasper Felinus"]

Tysk was looking at the woman who had asked the question as she waited for a moment and thought about it. "Well there is my twin daughters Fawn and Rowen and their little brother Sylvester. They enjoy running around on Dxun with their pet strills while watching their little brother." She spoke and began to go on for each, talking about the high marks they had gotten in their classes for weapons and among their clan were the heads of the next generation of mandalorians.

 

[Jasper Felinus]

Jasper inched away from the older woman a little as she described how well-trained and armed her kids were. He considered himself pretty badass, but no amount of self-confidence would actually change the fact that that woman sound insane to him. Of course, he was a cat-man who played a sonic guitar. Who was he to talk? He looked back at Talani, grinning, "I'm not that interesting. Just a guy with a weird guitar. I can't play anything that needs a band, but I can play anything that just needs a couple of guitars. That's why there's two sets of strings."

[Nyx]

Nyx leaned back in her chair, putting her arms behind her head.​

"Well, I spend my time drifting around the galaxy, looking for trouble. I have a bit of a reputation, but that doesn't matter that much. Be it a fight or a party, there's never a dull say with me, sweetie."​

Nyx had always felt that honesty was the best policy, even if it was slightly unflattering to herself.​

[Tysk Willamina]

The host was looking at the ones there as he listened and started speaking once the final answer came. "Well remind me not to make her mad folks." He looked at Tysk and then towards [member="Jasper Felinus"]. "Not exactly certain what you meant but I am more then certain it will appeal to our lady here and." He turned to look down the line at @Nyx. "Well now that sounds even more mysterious and fun, you know if you want to be with someone who has a game show we could?" There was sounds from the audience as he then looked at [member="Sar'Talani'Vek"]. "We'll have a chance for more question but first lets try and learn more about our contentants. "This is for all of you, what would be your ideal way of meeting Talani?"

Tysk was looking at the man talking and then at the other girl up there on stage while they seemed close to mirroring each other. She was just hoping one of the things requested was a gun fight.... they'd be the last two standing compared to the other she was certain of it as she spoke. "I'd want to meet her in the cantina. Nothing helps get to know someone like a good drink. Or since she looks capable I could see meeting her in the jungle while on a job."

 

[Nyx]

Nyx had to think about that one a bit. Knowing herself, where would she meet [member="Sar'Talani'Vek"]?​

Oh, that's it.​

"Knowing me, I'd meet her after a bar fight. Nothing better than talking up the sexy bartender after kicking some ass." She answered with a flirtatious wink to the Chiss. Was it that flattering? Probably not, but it was true, and that was what mattered. She wasn't going to sit here and say what wanted to be heard, she would say what she meant.​

Though, [member="Tysk Willamina"]'s answer was fairly good.​

From there, she awaited [member="Jasper Felinus"]'s response.​

 

[Sar'Talani'Vek]

Talani grinned a bit at she heard both Nyx and Tysk's answers. She could definitely see both of those occurring, although she though Nyx's idea sounded a bit more likely. As classy as the place may seem, her bar was mostly filled with smugglers and such. Bar fights were a rather common sight. The only rule Talani has for such things, 'You bleed on my floor or my tables, and you die.' So far, she hadn't had to kill anyone. "Well I certainly like both those answers. What does the kittycat have to say?" Talani replied as they all turned to the cat, waiting for an answer. [member="Nyx"] [member="Tysk Willamina"] [member="Jasper Felinus"]

 

[Jasper Felinus]

"Meow?"

Jasper's hands started moving on the strings of the guitar again as he thought about the question. How would he have met this apparently eccentric Chiss lady? He imagined that it'd have something to do with his guitar playing. Everything about him had to do with his guitar playing. He was a rock'n roll kitty. Also, he was poor as dirt, so it wouldn't have anything to do with some kind of fancy party.

Aha!

He grinned maniacally at Talani, and replied, "Well, ideally, I'd like to think that people like my music enough that I either got called in to perform a bit. Of course, that's really unlikely, as I'm more of a street cat. Anyway, ideally, y'know the flashy theatrics with the tail and ears and stuff would get you laughing a little bit, and then I'd eventually come down off the stage and say hi. Talk about strange places I've ended up working and stuff."

His grin retracted into a smirk as he thought a little more about his actual situation, "More likely, though, I'd come in all bloodstained and grinning and play some crappy song about catnip addicted felines hopping around on chandeliers and fighting birds. The whole premise would be so stupid an convoluted that you'd probably ask me if I was drunk before I even ordered anything from you. Thereby starting a conversation that would probably have to lead into some explanation of why I was covered in blood in the first place. Those are usually fun."

He shifted his collar slightly to show the hilts of the knives hidden under it, and then concluded, "All cats have claws, after all... Unless they're de- Y'know what? I'm not gonna go down that road. Declawed cats depress me."

[member="Sar'Talani'Vek"] [member="Jasper Felinus"] [member="Nyx"]

Well those were two interesting things, hearing the girl Nyx well she looked like a drinker and Tysk approved of that. Looking at the cat who kept playing with himself while talking to her well was still strange but she was watching Talani's reactions to it all while the Host was speaking. "Well those are some good answers but what is a game show without some physical challenges. Can't have it all be about talking so we are going to have a small break and get you three set up. The lights saying they were on flashed off while the crew was moving to get them set up. Their equipment returned while Tysk was checking her handguns and the horak rifle. Her small pack for her lower back holding the rollers and she had several magnetic caltrops as she checked it. Nyx and Felinus would get their equipment while she was moving off the stage that was being changed to set the to show to an area they had set up outside. "Welcome back folks and now it is time for the contestants to partake in the physical challenge of the round. The winner gets a chance to go first the others will be put in how quickly they complete the challenge. With all of their equipment it looks like the first to go will be Nyx and then Felinus and finally Tysk." The large outside set was a range and holoprojections showing bar patrons and a place for Talani to stand. Behind her faux counter the announcer stood at the ready. Behind him the generator for the emitters and some covering for it to give them a seat to sit. "Alright now we tried to make this challenge as simple as possible for you, there are twenty targets who are going to try and lay hands on Talani. It is your job to stop them anyway you can think of. Nyx step on up."

 

[Sar'Talani'Vek]

Talani took her seat and grinned. This part of this insufferable madness promised to be entertaining at least. She wondered once again just how drunk she was when she had agreed to do this. The blue skinned woman shrugged and smirked at the audience and the contestants. They were here to impress her, and this definitely promised to leave some kind of impression on her, though whether that was a good impression or not had yet to be seen. Her eyes drifted over to Nyx. So far, she seemed to stand out the most to Talani. If she had to pick someone by the end of this nonsense, Nyx was definitely a possibility, as was Tysk.

[Tysk Willamina]

[member="Sar'Talani'Vek"] [member="Nyx"] [member="Jasper Felinus"]

The other two had seemed to get a case of cold feet when presented with a challenge while she was moving now. Tysk shrugging while she took her pistols and she was moving towards the bar area. Taking the moment and time to look at the announcer and the Chiss as she offered a wink setting them on the bar a moment. Her thoughts were coming at some of what was around them as there was a small series of flashing lights, a countdown to the start of her round when she moved. Watching them start to come out the corner of her eyes as she slid the sunglasses up the bridge of her nose grabbing the guns. "Might want to move sweetie." Tysk said it while she brought the gun up and shot away from Talani the holoemitters power box as they went away and her time read under three seconds. A look at the announcer as she spoke. "You did say any means." The man was laughing for that moment and shrugged giving her the point now while speaking. "Looks like with two defaults and a record time we'll get to move to the next stage. Tysk and Talani can do whatever they want while the other two get to watch from our private room."
