Atrisian Sensation

[Katagiri Ike]

[member="Veronica"]

There was some rather fun things changing around the galaxy for what it was worth... in truth she found there was more enjoyment because been a fun time to be a director of technology. She got to work on things, she got to oversee new projects and on worlds like this while she was walking around in the lavish marketplace district with all of the shops showing in their windows the different things they were selling, people displaying clothing and jewelry. Katagiri rose up offering a smile as she was one of the smaller Atrisians there but stood taller and straighter then the others. She was wearing a silver kimono using the new meshed synthweave with dreamsilk so it was regal and protective. Her silvery white hair down to her ankles in a curtain over her shoulder as her saber was on her hip to walk around and get whatever she wanted in the marketplace of shri-Tal. The large district was inside the imperial city letting her enjoy the fresh air.

Out of everybody within the marketplace, Veronica seemed to be one who was most out of place. From her light cinnamon-Caucasian skin to her hair, as blue as the ocean on a bright sunny day which hung just above her shoulderblades, just barely grazing them with her hair. Now, then their was Veronica's clothing. A pair of black leather boots adorned Veronica's feet followed by a pair of black leggings and atop, a pair of shorts which ran midway down her thighs. The leggings did have a tear where the left knee was, exposing the skin below it…adding to the nature of Veronica not seemingly fitting into the current place. Then, to top it all off…Veronica's upper half was draped within a tie-dye shirt, a Tanktop to be exact which she had picked up from Naboo, filled with the colors of the rainbow…though, their was some minor armor attached to her right shoulder before going down her arm and stopping at her wrist, where it met a fingerless glove who's fingers were currently curled up into a fist. Her back wa a currently pressed against a wall, her leg folded over her opposite leg as to allow her some leverage.
————————————————
Veronica wouldn't normally come to one of these flashy…expensive looking places. Though…that's the problem. She just wanted to try and explore the Galaxy some more before getting back to the Vigilnate business only…their was one problem. Other woman. Previously, this has never been a problem to Veronica upon Jakku……but now, will…she had begun to notice her attraction to other woman quite easily now. And…she didn't know how to resist it. It was practically a whole new expirence for her, even though she tried to focus on Vigilante Buisness. It just kept coming back. Though…it was probably just Veronica's mind wondering about everything their is to do and that she was just acting delusional about other women. At least…that's what she was spelling herself.

The market district was something to see but oh she was liking the look of some of the people, it was easy to stick out among the other atrisians that were there while she was looking over some of it. They worn different colored robes and clothing with intricate hair as she was walking. A chance to try on some of the other pieces of clothing they provided or to socialize with some of the people. There were small food stalls and carts all around that the market when she was standing on one of the platforms and noticed something odd. In the sea of black hair and outfits there was blue and rainbow and skin that wasn't pale. Not really a problem but it was something you dind't see that often compared to some things while some more fabrics were brought out to show around. It was all a rather beautiful thing while the silver haired atrisian drifted her eyes towards the other in the rowd.

Veronica's eyes lazily swept over the crowd of silver and white, finding almost the same thing everywhere. Pale skin, white clothing…almost silver hair. It was so strange…and even foreign for her to see all of this solid and exact color crowded within a singular area. Normally, she had seen all types of colors, skin tones…and even species gathered together in places together. But never…never, had she seen just the exam thing over and over…and over. It was kind of daunting and unnerving to Veronica as a whole. Though, that's when she noticed something different within the crowd. A pair of eyes, well a face…staring towards her. It was kind of hard to see it, due to the jumble of bodies…but Veronica could've sworn she could make out a face of some sort looking towards her…or at least within her general direction that is.

Veronica shifted uncomfortably on one foot before trying to make contact with the eyes that were staring towards her. She didn't know who or what was even staring at her…or if something was even staring at her at all. All she hoped for, was that it wasn't somebody or something hostile and that it wasn't necessarily a force-user. Just try though of force-users sent a shiver up her spine.

The small atrisian woman was standing there as she stood as tall as she could seeing the woman who was more exotic in the sea of atrisian's looking at her as she moved to meet and make eye contact. She stayed with it for a moment while moving off to the side a little bit. She was interested in a number of things while there was a small food cart with some tea cups that she could get and food on a stick. Stuff for on the go until she was tapping her wrists motioning her over with her head. A chance maybe but the girl was cute compared to the others and exotic while they were going over many of the things. "Hello you and what is your name?" She said it wondering more to herself since she did like a number of things that she got to see and shamelessly flirting was an important thing when you were not afraid to make fun of yourself.

Veronica's ocean-blue eyes stayed upon the pair of eyes who were looking towards her. Never breaking contact, despite all of the people in the way…making it hard to see if they had moved or not. Eventually, the crowd dispersed slightly and she saw that the woman was closer…surprising her deeply as Veronica hadn't see the woman move through the crowd. Though, now she knew that it was a woman who had been looking at her…a rather beautiful one at that. From the Silver hair, to the fair pale skin…everything seemed almost foreign to Veronica. Sure, everybody else within the crowed looked like this…but, the woman who was across from her…she just looked extraordinary.

Veronica's gaze caught the woman motioning over to her to come closer, making her blush slightly. She hesitated at first. What is it was just a trick? A trap? But…Veronica knew better than that now…at least, from the people she had met so far. Veronica then proceeded to walk over to the woman who had motioned her over, moving some of her blue hair out of her eyes in the process. Then, she heard the woman ask her what her name was. Though…something seemed off, which caused Veronica to blush slightly though she hoped the woman didn't notice. It was either her…or the woman was actually flirting with her. She wasn't exactly sure…though she didn't want to press the issue any as it would probably make things awkward.

Veronica then took a deep breath before responding, trying to keep her calm demeanor at the moment while also making it to where she looked kind of Flirty in the way that she was currently standing. Her voice came out in a nervous home, yet still with her distinct English Accent.
"Uhm……I-I'm…V-Veronica! What about…y-you?"

Looking at the girl as she came over the small woman had a grin on her face that was tight lipped and harder to see. Eyes following her intently though when they were close enough she could actually hear the girl speak offering a small nod of her head. "I am Katagiri." She offered it with a smile while radiating warmth and prepared for anything but she had a very pretty name and seemed nervous maybe. The atrisian woman was glad to be in the small area where it was slightly more quiet for them to hear each other with the people passing by. Here on Shri-Tal there wasn't much else going on here in the district while they got to be there. "So what brings an exotic beauty like you here to Shri-Tal?"

Veronica nodded back towards the woman who she now knew as Katagiri, once she had offered and said her name to her. Katagiri. It was an odd, yet unique and exotic name, one that you wouldn't typically hear that often. And, it just made Veronica smile in excitement yet still with hints of nervousness as well as she had just met this woman and knew little to none about her. Veronica continued smiling intently towards Kata before that is, she heard her call her an 'exotic beauty.' At this remark, Veronica's cheeks flushed ascarlet red but she tried her best to hide it behind a fake caugh. Which, didn't sound that convincing in the slightest.

Veronica couldn't believe that the person she had just made, had already said she was a beauty. She hadn't heard this much about herself previously, which was why it stood out so much to Veronica than other things. Her mind was abuzz with this slightly flirty remark, making her take awhile to actually process what the woman had said. Once she had actually understood what Kata had said, she smiled softly before responding in a slightly less nervous voice.
"Oh…ya know, just exploring the Galaxy! After all…you don't commonly get around much when you've lived upon Jakku fit most of your life! Now, how about you, you little Silver Beauty, what brings you to this place, or do you live near here?"

Jakku, hmm that was interesting they had set up some facilities on the desert planet because it was remote and not many people there but the woman was... Made it that much more interesting as she stood there. "I live outside of the imperial city. In one of the mountain estates. Most of my family has the homes and temples across the southern mountain range and lakes." She said it casually and well her family more specifically the old people in her family were keen to buy up old properties and fix them up and sell for higher prices but every so often they just had places you couldn't sell but you could have family homes on like Sakura and Atrisia, Emberlene and Shri-Tal here. That the lake also had a temple temple in it was great as all of them were connected in the massive honeycomb of tunnels below the planet. "I try to come to the city every so often."

"Wow!! That's so cool!"
Veronica was simply amazed that this woman's family owned estates and houses, all along a mountain range to be exact. She had never really thought about money before, because it simply didn't interest her. But if one thing intrested her about money, it was how much people had. Veronica had never imagined that somebody could own possibly dozens of homes and yet still have plenty of money left over. It just amazed and shocked Veronica so much that she didn't know what to say save for 'Wow,' which wasn't much of a compliment, but that's all she could come up with.

Veronica's gazed was transfixed by Katagiri as she stared at her, she nervously pulled at her Tanktop strap and wrapped some of her blue hair around her finger, having no idea what to say or do. They could walk around and talk, or the could just sit down and eat. But hpwhich would be better? On one hand, having some of the food here would be rather exotic and nice. But, on the other hand, Veronica had seen some stuff she wanted to buy, only she lacked the money. She never really was a person to buy expensive stuff for herself, always wanting to put others first, though she had to admit, some of the stuff looked rather nice. Veronica argued wither self internally some before finally deciding to ask her.
"So…uhm…w-what do you want to die? Ya'know, other than just standing h-here?"

Hmm what to do, standing here with her did have its appeal, it was easier on the legs and body. You didn't have to do much, there was shade and you could hear gossip... but it was also a fairly loud place and you could be in the way. Eating or sitting down afforded much of the same though you ran the risk of the waitor or waitress coming by to check up on you. She'd be able to think of a few things maybe.. something clever and witty hopefully but could admit more then likely it would come out lame. Which was fine with her. Walking around meant they could be on the move and see some of the sights around the business and market district of the city but the real sights were in the gardens around them as she spoke. "Well I can think of a couple things to do but I am rather liking this right here and now, shopping can be fun but meeting new people far more fun." She offered a smile while looking at things. "There are some good places to eat though in the gardens. They set up the better places to eat there instead of the stalls and fast food areas in the district."

Veronica smiled shyly towards Katagiri as she spoke. She was still nervous around here, yet she was getting more and more comfortable with her as they were talking. So far, Veronica www liking this girl so far. She was tempted to flirt with Katagiri, but decided that it would be too soon if she flirted with her. Maybe Kat on she could try and flirt with her. Veronica's mouth took on a more confident smile as Katagiri mentioned that their were some nice places to eat in the gardens. Meaning that they could talk and just get to know each other a bit easier. Veronica opened her mouth to speak, her tone kind-hearted yet still with a nervous twinge within it as she spoke.

"Uhm…s-sure that would be g-great!!"

Veronica offered a smile towards Katagiri before letting her eyes look around the building they were currently in. Their was just so much life within this building and so many things going on. Yet, the world seemed to just stand still while she was talking to Katagiri. Veronica didn't know how to describe it of what she was even feeling, though she was taking it as a good sign so far. Hopefully it would remain that way through the remainder of the time that they talked.

Perfect, there was a look as she was motioning to come with her, the district here was beautiful and leading the way through it and the crowds themselves towards the larger walls. They had developed a number of places that they were able to go through. The large windows with people presenting different products were all around and the scent of the food being cooked. There was a look though when the large doors opened with a smile on her face as they slid opened to reveal the massive gardens that were circular leading around the city and dividing the districts from the inner and outer walls of the city. The large tower in the center that went up towards the sky as she was walking until the sight of a food vendor came up. Their shop a lot more quiet with picnic style eating so you could enjoy it on the grass. She looked around at many fo the things they had before speaking. "There we go, now lets see what we can get to eat and we can talk while enjoying the calmness out here."

Veronica followed Katagiri out of the giant building, up to where the giant doors opened and they stood outside. With the garden around, it just seemed like an image too good to be true. The flowers we brilliant colors, ranging from soft yellow to striking violet and even sharp jagged blues which hung out among the crowd quite nicely. A few trees spruced the garden, tall structures of bark with overarching branches offering shade and a nice view of the sky through their emerald green leaves. All of it just amazed Veronica, she had just never seen so many colors in one place at a time. It was just breathtaking to her and beyond imagine.
Veronica nodded a joyful nod towards Katagiri before responding.
"Sure! Anything you recommend? Also…as away any questions of me, if you want t-that is!"

She was looking at her and the excitement was there as she ordered some of the food for them. The serving droid was there and she sat down there breathing in the scent of the garden while making a small place for her that was close but not to intimate. A neutral location where you could shift and change the stance the two would be able to be in. Katagiri gave a small look before she spoke. "Hmm well I do wonder about you, there are many who come here to try their luck in getting some of the aurodium supplies that are on the world. A little bit can change a persons life." She was wondering what had brought her here but that could come later, there was a lot more she would be able to show her. "Though I know a number of beautiful women come here because of the companions guild. The secret temple in the mountains where women can find whatever they want."

 

[Veronica]

[member="Katagiri Ike"]

Veronica's mind drew up a blank at the mention of 'aurodiun supplies,' she had never heard of anything with that name. Well, at least the first part of the name that is. It made Veronica even more curious about it once Katagiri mentioned that just a little could change a persons life. What had, or was she meaning by that? How did it change someone's life? Heck, what even were these supplies she was talking about. Veronica's mouth opened to ask Katagiri just as she was cut off by Katagiri mentioning the Companions Guild. Along with mentioning that a number of beautiful women come to the planet to go there. Veronica could help but think that the woman across from her was saying it as if she was also a rather beautiful women but she kept those thoughts to herself. Though, now this 'Companions Guild' peaked her interest.
"…uhm, what is this 'Companions Guild,' you speak of?"

 

[Katagiri Ike]

[member="Veronica"]

"Very high priced and highly respected women who sell companionship with people who meet their price." She looked at her and well what they did or could do, she knew not all chose to sleep with their employers but some did and not all woman who came here to the outer rim worlds came for them. SOme might think it an insult and others a compliment depending on how you looked at it but the invisible market atttracted the richest people in the galaxy that you didn't even know about. THeir hard work on most things was staying quiet but this was one of the only worlds where it was publlic knowledge the market met. "There is a lot of plances here on the world that people go but the invisible market, the mines, the companions still pale at times to some of the places like the silent sisters who serve deeper in the mountains with the dragon king. Or exploring the deeper roads under the planet for adventure.... I myself love places like the city though and all of the people you could meet there."

Veronica was stunned by this news, not terribly stunned, but stunned nonetheless. She hadn't expected for Katagiri to say that that was what the Companions Guild was, but that doesn't mean she wasn't terribly surprised. She had heard of these type of things before, only women were on the street and would do anything for money. Veronica shivered at the thought and she wanted to help people like the ones she had seen, but she wasn't a good enough vigilante, or even one that was too helpful. Veronica's mind swerved slightly to get away from the subject she was currently thinking about before she looked towards Katagiri before responding.
"Uhm…ok. Well, you could ask me some more questions if you'd like! Please, as anything…"
Veronica didn't want what they had just talked about to screw up their discussion so she hoped that changing the subject to something else would help change the mood slightly. She just hoped that Katagiri wouldn't ask anything about force users or her family. Cause, that was a touchy subject for her, though she would discuss it some with Katagiri.

She could see she seemed to get weird about it but that was to be expected, while the companions were fine and beautiful women... well comparing someone to them might not always be the best thing. She looked at the girl though thinking about how she could change the subject as the droid was bringing the drinks to them and she leaned back a little in the small area. Relaxing herself. "Alright then, lets see what do I want to know about you?" She made a show of tapping her chin to show it playfully as she was curious about the woman, she wanted to know more but where to start beyond say 'tell me everything' that wouldn't really do much for her in the end but the silver haired woman had a grin appearing. "Hmm tell me what interests you. My interests are plain when it comes to some things. I like to find beautiful things and enjoy the moment."

 

[Veronica]

[member="Katagiri Ike"]
"Oh? So am I a beautiful thing?!"
Veronica gave off a flirtatious grin before reaching out her hand to take a sip of the drink that the droid just brought her. While doing so, her mind wandered as to what exactly intrested her. Well, their was helping people, animals…what else? Their had to be more than just those two things. What did truly peak her interest and attention? Veronica started at first before stopping, thinking of exactly what to say. After a few moments, and another sip, she began to tell Katagiri what intrested her.

"Uhm…helping people. Cause, you see, I tried to be a vigilante while on Jakku…its just…" Veronica swallowed, thinking over what she was going to say before trying to continue on. "I don't always know how to help people, I feel like I'm not doing enough." Veronica paused once more to take a sip of her drink before continuing on, a smile now upon her face as she did so. "Well…I gotta say I like beautiful things, especially in nature. Like water, which I don't know much about. Heck, I don't even know how to swim!"

Veronica laughed to herself after her comment about water, not noticing that Katagiri could hear her laugh. Her laugh was slightly high pitched and when she did laugh, she had a kind of cute snort at they beginning as if she were reliving a fond memory. Though, quickly Veronica took notice of the snort and blushed when she saw Katagiri still staring at her. She tried to continue on, but couldn't stop the blush from taking over her cheeks.
"But, yeah I like nature, helping people…I don't like meeting people. Cause well, I grew up on Jakku and haven't had much social interaction. So, sorry if I'm kind of awkward. Let's see, what else? Oh, I've always been fascinated by technology and have a knack for some fashion. Oh, and I enjoy beautiful people and things as well!"
