Dance the night away (Open)

[Inara]

An upscale dance club: Nar Shaddaa

The nightlife in Nar Shaddaa was never lacking, and tonight was no exception. The grand opening of a brand new dance club had gathered many to its neon lights. The crowds of people were held at bay by a simple velvet rope that was strung across the door, and two large bouncers stood like stone statues on each side. Even outside the club, one could hear the music, and the voice of a DJ making promises of a night most memorable.

Meanwhile, hidden away in a private dressing room was the Zeltron entertainer simply known as Inara. Though, many did recognize her by her honorary title of the Party Princess. The former singer and girl group member was given straightforward tasks for the night: keep the people happy, promote the club’s most expensive drinks, and dance up a storm. Inara loved participating in events like this, she could hardly even call it a job… it was just like getting paid to have a good time, and the free drinks were certainly a perk.

Tonight she was dressed in a short white skirt and a crop top; both were adorned with sparkling jewels that would most certainly have a fun effect on the dance floor. While her strappy high heeled shoes may appear impractical, she hardly noticed them nowadays; they were almost like an extension of herself. Inara combed out her long icy blue hair, and looked thoughtfully at her reflection in the mirror. She decided to let her slightly curled locks flow wild tonight, and moved on to perfecting her makeup. Once her long lashes were sufficiently curled, lipstick was applied and she finished off by spritzing herself with a body spray that contained glitter.

The now sparking Zeltron made her way out of the dressing room and onto the stage that overlooked the dance floor. The club manager gave a nod to her and with an easy motion of his hands the doors flew open. Inara’s blue eyes lit up as she watched the people filtering into the dance club. The lights dimmed and the music boomed through the club, and Inara waved to the crowd, beckoning them to gather around the stage and dance. A slightly wicked smile appeared on her face as she released pheromones, and used telepathy to project a state of euphoria on those that were closest to her.

Inara looked forward to seeing where this night would take her…

Now, Lorane Azure was justifiably angry. His last patient's promised "payment" had been in the form of a membership to some random, if rather nice, club on Nar Shaddaa. While the trip to the planet from Chroma Zed wasn't awfully long, the Chiss doctor really never thought he'd come here for anything less than an assassination. But, instead, he'd eventually given way to curiosity and come anyway. He'd come and went to the bar almost immediately, far too impressed with the immaculate Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster the bartender had mixed him to even consider getting up and doing anything other than nurse his highly acidic drink.​

​

And so, he sat and happily smirked at all the men and women who were running around with more glitter and rhinestones on them than the most ostentatious nobles he'd seen, waiting for something vaguely interesting to happen to him. He guessed that gunfights weren't a thing in here, despite the fact that this club's security had totally failed to take his weapons.​

​

So what was a dance club for, if not to get drunk and/or get into fights? Lorane was as confused as he could possibly get.​

[Poro]

In the darkest corner, behind the thickest curtain, a Trandoshan held a scared ropo named Poro. The mean and awful Trandoshan had taped a thermal detonator to Poro's back and planned to unleash him on the cantina goers. This particular Trandoshan, was moderately insane.

"Yezz, Yezz, Mouzy! Go forth and killzz them!" He set Poro down on the ground and our brave little hero took off at a desperate speed. The Trandoshan did a little dance of glee and hissed with joy before he stopped and had a moment of clarity. He had forgotten to pull the pin!

"Oh, shiaska!" He pushed the curtain aside, sniffed the air, and chased after Poro, saying, "Here, mouzy, mouzy!"

The weight strapped to his back was off-setting his balance, but adrenaline can do crazy things to a ropo. He scurried amidst the stomping and clomping of multiple pairs of feet. He was adept at getting through crowds, despite the extra weight. However, the thermal det made stealth to be much less effective. Those who looked down would be startled by the appearance of Poro and some of the women would yell out "Rat! Rat!!"

The chasing Trandoshan spoke up to those who were alarmed, saying, "Yezz, yezz! I am here to catch mouzy! I am ratz catcher!"

The situation had truly devolved.

Inara continued to dance on stage and watch as the crowd joined in. The flashing lights, the noise, the music, it was all very entrancing. In times like this she usually found it easy to lose herself in the hype, nothing could bring her down. This time things were different. Before the full effects of her projected emotions could be felt, there was a small amount of hysteria beginning to rise up amongst those on the dance floor. Inara heard women screaming, and jumping around sporadically as if they were trying to invent a new dance move. The dancer halted and stepped down off the stage, she had little idea what was going on until someone screamed “rat!”.

What was this? A little creature could be seen trying to make its way across the dance floor, with a very curious device strapped to its back. Inara had seen nothing like this before, there was a first time for everything. Shoving her way through the crowd the zeltron dancer scooped up the frightened creature. A quick survey of the mouse-like creature and the item attached to it told her that this over her head.

Her blue eyes scanned the crowd; she spotted a rather disgruntled man sitting at the bar. Not only did he stick out against the crowd due to his blue hued skin, but he looked terribly out of place here. However, he did have the general look of intelligence about him, so Inara stomped her way over to him, high heels clicking against the floor. “Say, do you happen to know what this is?” Inara inquired, holding up little Poro. Usually she would have offered a flirtatious greeting, but there wasn’t time for that sort of pleasantry…. Inara wanted answers.

Singing. Dancing. Is that all people do here? Mallith Renyl thought as they passed the club. There was loud noises coming from inside. It was kind of irritating but they couldn't resist checking to see what the heck was going on. Dancing... Dancing everywhere. It was very lively though. More lively than where they used to live at least. No one got this excited at clubs in Rishi. It was a nice place truly so they couldn't help but dance.

Mallith then realized that they had they're blaster holstered. They had this large feeling that weapons were not allowed in the club so they quickly put their blaster in their shirt. The shirt was tight. So tight that the blaster didn't fall out. They continued dancing not paying attention that they weren't really wearing the appropriate clothing for the setting. After all it's a dance club, not a fashion club.

Mallith heard noise coming from they're right. They saw a Trandoshan chasing something and yelling. "People at clubs are insane." They mumbled to Themself as they stopped dancing to take a break to the side.

Lorane looked at the woman who approached him with the furball in her hand. Most men probably would've been struck by the fact that she was beautiful, or that she smelled vaguely like the best thing the Chiss had ever smelled. The doctor was a bit more struck by the fact that there was a bomb strapped to the furball. He gently picked the creature out of the woman's hands and smiled as he pointed at it.​

​

"This is a ropo, as far as I can tell. Adorable little creature... And this is a rather well-done homemade bomb. Baradium dealie."​

​

Mentally crossing his fingers that the damn thing wouldn't explode when he unstrapped it, he removed the bomb from the ropo's back. It failed to kill everybody in the room. Good. Pulling a screwdriver out of his pocket and taking off the casing, he found the baradium core and removed it, holding it up for the woman to see.​

​

"My little souvenir, here, is a rather volatile explosive. I wonder if that idiot who was chasing the poor creature realizes that you and I just made his bomb go out of the picture. Or even notices that he's now chasing bits of light instead of this little guy."​

[Poro]

When [member="Inara"] picked him off the floor, Poro's legs flailed in the air as he continued to attempt running whilst being hoisted into the air. When he came face to face with her, her beautiful face led him to calm down and smiled a big goofy smile. Surely she would protect him from the nightmare lizard man!

He lifted a little paw and twiddled it at her while she carried him, a bit of his unusually large tongue hanging out of the corner of his mouth.

Poro had never seen a Chiss before. When he first saw and met [member="Doctor Azure"], he froze and stared at the strange man. He became more nervous and tense as the lady put him closer to the blue being. It didn't help when the man started to peel the duct tape off of his fur. He squealed quietly in pain and fear as the stickiness dragged at his soft, white fur. When it was over, he lay on the palm depressed and reserved.

On the dance floor, the trandoshan had long since tried to cover his nostrils to avoid the overwhelming stench of dance party and pheromones. He was practically gagging on the smell and he finally realized that he had lost the little white cretin to the bright lights and the massive amount of people. He desperately tried to find his way to the bathroom so he could collect himself. The smell in there couldn't have been any worse than out here...or so he thought.
