Celebrations, Day One: The Shows (Social thread)

[Saki lin]

She gave a smile as she looked at [member="Lady Kay"] and [member="Veiere Arenais"], veiere looked very much indeed like a warrior and saki had a lot of respect for that being a warrior herself

She looked do erebos as she gave a nod with a smile, it would look like he had told her something to make her smile but she took it all serious and started to lightly look around the place carefully on alert for any sudden changes that weren't normal

She however noticed something, in the force that was, among the crowd of happy party people she felt malice and a intent to cause harm, however do to her skill she couldn't pin the malice on a single person"Nu winwi kair malice ir sis akira «I feel some malice in this crowd»
She said to erebos as she gave as glance around again before back to lady kay and bowed, we'll will madam president enjoy the vending as much as we will

[Tiali Orazio]

Standing up from his chair his arms reach into the air stretching out his back. "I need a drink." He says to himself half mumbled.

Stepping passed and over the row of legs and feet he makes his way to the walkway. Upon Reaching the bar he takes up a bar stool, imediatly he waves down the bartender "Corellian scotch.. Actually two." The man grabs the bottle from under the counter pooring the two drinks for Tiali "Cheers" sliding his hand into his jacket pocket he takes out the appropriate credits sliding them to the bartender.

Raising the glass to his mouth he takes a sip letting the scotch burn his mouth then his throat after proceeding to swallow. "Much better." A smile slides into his face, his eyes slide shut with a deep breath, reopening his eyes with a relaxed exhale he spins around on the stool facing out to the crowd, drink still at hand.

To his left: [member="Dawwik Batt"] on the bass viol. To his right: [member="Amadeus"] on the kloo horn. And OK, yes, [member="G'hibbas Guss"] front and center, right in front of Ickabawl, because you couldn't really front a band when your weapon of choice was the ommni box.

But someday. Someday.

Ickabawl and the Jizzwailers were among the galaxy's premiere cantina bands, proficient in both jizz and jatz. Their strength in the Dark Side of the Force served only to accentuate their appeal. Their upbeat beats inflamed passions, broke chains, set souls free. Such was the way of the Sith.

<<Punch it!>>

Dawwik stood slightly left of centre on the stage, next to the other members of this new up and coming Bith Band. He let the individual notes of his Bass Viol add to the harmonies of his fellow Bith, creating an exquisite harmony of sounds that ran wild amongst the crowd, eliciting dances and cheers. They were truly on top of their art.

Anyone offering Peace and quiet would be a liar this day, there would only be the Passions of dance and song; Ickabawl and the Jizzwailers made sure of that. The galaxy was not prepared for the funky rhythm of their combined instruments and talents, they would all taste the wrath of the best cantina dance when they were inevitably motivated to dance by the Dark Side of Music. There was no stopping this funky bunch of Sith, their tunes would rule the galaxy.

The Bith had to smile as he contemplated their unavoidable rise to galactic fame. Truly, the Bith Sith Bith Band's music would be heard in every cantina, from the most wretched hives of scum and villainy to the most pristine private events of high-profile core world politicians.

[Azimuth Industries]

Dexterous fingers touched the kloo horn in ways that would turn a Zeltron courtesan green with envy. Amadeus made the instrument sing. There was a power in that altogether different than any other experience. Something about music moved the essence of beings in ways nothing else could.

The First Order fete looked to him like one massive fuzzy haze, distorted shapes moving here and there. Amadeus was legally blind. He could not see when they began to dance to the music, but he could feel it.

He could feel all of them, every member of the band too. They poured everything into the song, a ballad of lust. Each seeking different things, but in the end the roads converged to meet on the avenue of power.

[Shaddi]

Looking around in the manner some blind people swivel their head in attempts to find the origin of sounds around them. He felt and saw the dark side in the bith's that now had taken up the stage and he smirked a little at how little they seemed to know of the force but they were most definitely force sensitive with the way they were more defined in his sight through the force. Leaning in to whisper to [member="Saki lin"], he spoke softly like he was simply saying something to a lover. "Tuti ant tu'iyia sirjik diâ titsû ki niati ams imrsas ki mnirjatsa an ziji."

Sith translation
Tuti ant tu'iyia sirjik diâ titsû ki niati ams imrsas ki mnirjatsa an ziji. «Be on your guard and let me continue acting out my blindness to see.»

[G'hibbas Guss]

From the Jizz wailed an infamous tune, played through the galaxy like no other piece for near milennia, preserved through the generations unchanging, and yet with more soul than anything else that could ever exist, the dark side poured through his instrument, the one for which the genre "jizz" was named. Yes, the dark side poured into that. Each note more refined and smoother than the last

The Bith, well one of them, the one playing the Jizz, stopped playing for a moment to prepare for a solo. With a deep breath, and focus on the dark side, he began to wail a catchy tune in an edgy glitz style phrase. In all honestly it shouldn't have been able to fit, but the band had practiced it so many times, the band could read eachother so well that it didn't matter. It sounded amazing. Another few measures of rest. The bith snapped to every other beat to count before he joined back into his melody.

[Darben Skirae]

Darben Skirae stopped his looking when he saw [member="Lady Kay"] coming his way. He took a quick bow then straightened up. "Miss Kay. We are doing quite fine, thank you for asking. You've made quite the celebration here." Not the first party, but certainly the largest. "I was just talking with someone who might help me understand Mute more. You know kind people."

But that was not what he was wanting to talk to her about. In fact, it was really the only reason he came, besides the fact that he did not want to be rude by not showing up at all. No, he wanted to talk about business. Even though he did have to pause to listen to the new music. "So onto the main topic I wished to speak to you about. About how many systems are being represented here? And are any interested in trade?" He wanted to ask about the other Ministers as well, as he had spotted none of them. But he kept that to himself. They perhaps had personal matters to attend to.

 

[Kay-Larr]

It was odd. The new band that had come in played very well, though the music just...felt different. With her own Force signature shrunk down, she couldn't detect that which influenced their music. But, everyone seemed to be enjoying it, so perhaps she was overthinking things. Maybe it was because she was feeling a little nervous that the Trandoshan didn't come with the best of intentions.

Kay smiled to [member="Darben Skirae"] as he complimented her choice in friends and then raised a brow slightly at his questions. "Well Minister Skirae, so far I have come across a few, but they already have contracts with us. However..." She gestured to [member="Darth Erebos"] . "You might want to establish trade with the world, Shawken. They currently have an Embassy under construction here."

Many invited guests and Ministers did not attend. She was well aware of this. But, there no doubt was a good reason for their absence.

Kay offered a small wave to [member="Tiali Orazio"] as she spotted him by the bar, and then to [member="Samka Derith"] as she saw the young Knight of Ren dressed in a ceremonial uniform, rather than a dress. Her protection in the form of Stormtroopers was very easy to see as well. Kay preferred her protection to be well hidden, like her skills.

[WolfMortum]

He was the only one of the group there for her personal security, that would follow so closely to [member="Lady Kay"]; their relationship had first began on the ice world of Alzoc Three, where he had stood by her side then, and done so ever closely from the days on. During the time of the Galactic Republic's struggles, he had distanced himself only marginally in order to do what he had felt best for the Jedi Order's interests and then returned to her side to continue his service for her following that. Of course, in the public light all things remained professional and yet what most did not know, would not be brought into that light to potentially harm the Lady President; Veiere had his personal motives of course for being there, they fortunately followed the same path as the rest of the security personnel only rather more emotionally as opposed to being completely dutiful in their roles.

It should not have come as any surprise the various different heads among the crowd that stuck out in some way, shape or form; noticeable characters that the Force or perhaps more so his paranoia called out and painted a lasting image within his head, persons of note in the event that things did began to descend downhill. As was many a task for the former Jedi, meeting peoples of differing levels of respect and importance came with a certain margin of distance, a lack of attachment in the moment where he could offer them the respect and friendliness that they so deserved through a porcelain smile, while his attention followed the various shifts and feelings that the flow of the Force whispered to him across the larger environment.

 

[Daxton Bane]

The Red Raven delegation were enjoying the evening pretty much to themselves. Interested parties were ushered to discrete corners to discuss business away from prying ears while tokens were exchanged should a deal be sealed. The Sith and Judah were seated prominently at the center, clearly both in control despite having gone through several bottles of strong alcohol between them.

Still anyone could approach if they dared since the night was still for the young and the daring.

 

[Sareen Zar]

Sareen resisted the urge to grin, to his own belief he had gone under the radar for now. An achievement for a Trandoshan with little to no s tealth ability. Slowly Sareen planned how he would take the president's life, over and over again did the plan go through his head. Every re-iteration he thought of a new problem and made a little edit to his strategy. Eventually he realized he had to move, or at least find someone to talk to. He had spent too much time sulking in his little area, alone, without movement, if Sareen wanted to truly stay under the radar, he had to find some new cover.

Sareen began screening the crowd, trying to find someone with the least Commenorian connection, someone who wouldn't have to much to do with the local government at least. He laid his reptilian eyes on a Togruta, [member="Saki lin"], and made his way after this odd looking fellow [member="Darth Erebos"] spoke, grinning his pointy teeth, the Trandoshan opened with,

"Good evening misss. Might I asssk what connection you have to thisss event?"

[Saki lin]

She had her hand on [member="Darth Erebos"]' shoulder acting as if she was guiding him from place to place as if he was truly blind, meanwhile she looked around making sure he didn't run into anything...after awhile she spotted [member="Sareen Zar"] heading towards themy and whispered to zanith *Trando tuti sosûtumrikiai «Trando is approaching »* she said as when he approached she bowed and smiled * evening sir, and well just like everyone here we wish to bid the madam president a good luck and to have out own hand in helping * didn't reveal anything except the normal bits, however she was now noticing the...malice was closer, she leaned to zanith and again spoke*Anas malice Nu winwi utana tuti imrsosûtaki tatki «That malice I felt early is extremely close»

 

[Shaddi]

T'zantih swiveled his head just lightly towards [member="Sareen Zar"] as he heard that hissing voice of his. 'A trandoshian hm? Interesting.' He thought as he listened to Sareen's exchange with [member="Saki lin"] and inside he chuckled at how new Saki was to politics and the nuances of social gatherings such as the one they were attending. "We are the delegation from Shawken, we share an exchange of embassies and it is why we were invited." He said with a lighthearted tone before leaning in to whisper to Saki. "Oi tqi tuti ri tuti arsiau iw j'us." He said before he moved his hand forward in a handshaking gesture feigning a little directionlessness with his arm before settling it just to the side of Sareen.
"I believe it is customary to introduce oneself at these gatherings no?" He said as he waited to see if Sareen would take his hand or not.

Sith translation
Oi tqi tuti ri tuti arsiau iw j'us. «It should be, he's in front of you.»

[Sareen Zar]

Sareen's obviously fake smile grew as [member="Saki lin"]'s compatriot began to press Sareen for information. He had indeed prepared one for such an occurrence but was still nervous nonetheless, "I am represssentative Ssk'tah of the 3rd Dosssha Workersss Guild. President Kay, being an adamant sssupporter of people sssuch asss usss, we were naturally invited." Sareen said, taking the humanoid's hand. He noticed there whispering in a language foreign to himself, brushing it off as interest in the play. The Trandoshan made a small bow, "You must forgive me, I am needed elsewhere." With that, the slaver left the two alone, slightly worried they had any suspicion of his intentions.

Quickly he distanced himself from the two, finding a new location from where he could observe [member="Lady Kay"]. If he spotted those two again he would move some more, until he could find a suitable area where no suspicion would grow of his presence. Whatever fear he had from the last incursion had either disappeared, or had been pushed back by his focus, for his face showed no dismay whatsoever.

[Tiali Orazio]

Tiali raises the glass too his mouth empiting what's left of his beverage into his mouth.

Looking over the crowd he takes note of Kays small wave, Tiali lightens his face up with a small smile and returns the wave to her. Sliding the empty glass onto the bench his hand taking hold of the other drink, he slips off the stool planting both feet on the floor to begin making his way to the group.

Upon arriving his attention goes straight to Kay "Your work really shined through, you've done a..." His attention is dragged off for a moment hearing what sounded like the hiss of a trandoshian, peeking over he notices the trandoshian with the others. I wonder why one of lizards are here, He thought to himself before Turning his attention back to Kay "sorry um, you've done an amazing job, It's honour to be here."

[Kay-Larr]

Kay smiled as [member="Tiali Orazio"] approached. She bowed her head to him. The two had shared many adventures together, though not always on the same side. Yet his good nature towards her always won out and he had helped her to escape the clutches of the Cartel and even [member="Thraxis"] was well appreciated. Tiali was also locked up in the same mental institution as she was. It was a miracle that they got out of there with their sanity. Kay hadn't been a fan of tiny rooms ever since, nor of men in white coats.

"Thank you. I think most of the responsibility for this night's shows belongs to the students in the University. This is their time to showcase themselves to the Galaxy." She noted Tiali's search through the attendees. Following his gaze, she saw [member="Sareen Zar"]r in a different location, but still it seemed as though he was keeping an eye on her. Kay pretended to ignore him, turning her attention back to Tiali. "I'm so glad that you could make it. And you do know that you are welcome any time, right?" She then gestured to [member="Veiere Arenais"] . "Tiali, this is my advisor and bodyguard, Veiere. Veiere, this is Tiali, one of my friends from a while back."

Kay had noted that [member="Daxton Bane"] and Judah seemed to be sitting on their own with not many wanting to speak with them. She'd have to remedy that.

[Darben Skirae]

Darben followed [member="Lady Kay"]'s glance over at [member="Darth Erebos"]. An opportunity had arisen, and he was going to get it. He nodded to Lady Kay before bidding farewell to her, then going off in the direction of whom Kay suggested. Only to get sidetracked momentarily in drinking from a glass on a passing platter.

After finishing, he found a place to set it down, then went on. Only to stop to see that someone else was talking with them. A trandoshan, to be more specific. Darben approached and stopped a small distance away, waiting for the conversation to end. And it did, eventually. "Excuse me, may I have a moment of your time?" he asked them. "I am Darben Skirae, one of Lady Kay's ministers. She told me that you might be interested in a trade agreement?"

 

[WolfMortum]

Veiere bowed to [member="Tiali Orazio"] in welcome greeting following [member="Lady Kay"]'s introducing him, "It is a pleasure to meet another friend of Kay's, given the turn out, it's heartwarming to see that she has so many of them here in support of Commenor and her wish to further progress it's interests" He spoke gently, showing nothing of the concern that remained on the edge of his mind, the awareness of those that might not hold such positive intentions for the madame president as Tiali himself did.

[member="Darth Erebos"] and [member="Saki lin"] had also taken his attention some, sparing a glance in their direction, he could feel the darkness that surrounded them yet was inherently blocked out by those outside of the gift of force sensitivity. Like [member="Samka Derith"], Veiere wondered if they weren't all cut from the same cloth so to speak and unlike most of the Jedi he had met lately lacking the restraint that was once their tradition, their affiliation with the Dark Side didn't dictate an aggressive response but rather an observant one as he took the moment to study them from afar. The moment however would be brief as he turned his attention back to [member="Sareen Zar"] once more, acknowledging the Trandoshan's current whereabouts before turning back to listen to the conversation at hand so as not to be impolite.

 

[Daxton Bane]

[member="Lady Kay"]

Judah handed Daxton a cigar and the pair lit up as they savored the events of the last few hours. Another successful night on the books and a profitable one at that. Daxton could sense the awe and fear that his presence threw on others. No one wanted to be seen making a deal with the devil but they were wondered could they afford not to. Well the night was still young....
