Ghost Story​

The Rebel Alliance controlled planet of Ryloth has found itself in grave peril, throughout the planet dozens of reports have been filed claiming sights of Sith Lords long dead returning from the grave and taking people from their homes in the night. Unrest grows on the planet as the Rebel Alliance throws the majority of it's resources towards the war with the Abrion Corporate Alliance only being able to provide minimal aid to the struggling Twi'lek population.

As long dead Sith Lords take from the population only to disappear without a trace the new fragile galactic nation stands on the brink of civil unrest with the growing galactic threat of the One Sith and their imperial regime. Tension on Ryloth grows worse with every passing moment mounting into a planetary powder keg. Now the Rebel Alliance diverts a few key personnel to investigate and remove whatever is causing these disappearances before the planet blows.

In the subterranean city of Kala'uun the Rebel agents gather together to collect information and track down this supposed sith menace. Time works against them as every passing moment the people grow more afraid and demand answers.​

[scene]​

Location: Kala'uun, The Lusty Lekku Cantina
Time: 2600​

Various Twi'lek waitresses dressed as slave girls wandered around the cantina serving drinks and flirting with the customers who came into the bar. It was a busy night for the cantina as it was the closet to the space port where dozens of shady people came on and off world through, some of which stopped for a drink. And as one would know, one drink usually lead to two, then so on and so forth until they were drunk enough to start mouthing off secrets and other information. There was a lot of information to be had in a place like this and it was a good place to start. The rebels had very little information to go off of, all they had were a few reports of people spotting Sith Lords such as Darth Vader, Darth Bane, and a few other big names.

The Rebels were located in a table in the back where they discussed and talked among themselves to best wrap their heads around this truly bizarre situation that had been dropped into their laps.​

 

[Lypheen Grath]

Lypheen had not gotten drunk like many others here. He was not stupid enough to do that. He knew he want imagining things when he saw some rebels in the cantina. Rebels rarely ever came in cantinas. He walked up to them.

"What are you rebels doing HERE?"

No reply. He asked again.

"HELLO? Did you not hear me?"

Still no reply.

"Listen, I don't wanna cause any trouble tonight, but I can and will-" he was cut off.

One rebel had shot his arm. He shot back, and within 30 seconds, there was a fight in the cantina. Lypheen knew he couldn't have the authorities on his trail any longer, so he ran out.

 

[Aithne Charr]

Solan was, for some reason, hanging out in a bar with the rebels around him and really he was having even more annoyance as a weird creature appeared and shot at thin air. It was kind of funny, probably someone on spice because none of the rebels around the table would have shot at him seeing as it was Solan, Patricia, and the normal crew and they were all having a drink. So when the creature shot at thin air he looked at [member="Patricia Susan Garter"] with a confused stare. "Any idea what that things problem is?"

 

[Miss Blonde]

[member="Solan Charr"]

Patricia sat at the table and watched the very coked out man shoot then run, it honestly wasn't worth chasing him. A few punches were thrown around the bar then the bouncers quickly sorted things out and it was back to business as usual. The petite blonde let out a sigh of frustration and wrapped her small hands around her head, this was getting more and more frustrating by the moment. But there were people's lives on the line and she needed to get answers very very soon or there would be problems on this planet, well more problems. She looked to her friend solan and rolled her eyes a bit.

"So let's get our facts together, last night there was a kidnapping in sector four. A family of five was taken and witnesses claim that Darth Vader took them from their home before vanishing into thin air." she said with almost skeptical undertones in her voice.

"That's the third one this month. Attacks are starting to increase, I say we talk to the bar tender see if he's got any leads. What do you think?" she asked solan before turning her head over to the bar.

Grabbing her drink she took a sip of ale and placed it back down on the table, she very much wanted to get out of this dive bar if there were lunatics about shooting holes in the ceiling and tripping out on spice.

Solan ran his hand over the pistol he kept hidden these days, growing further and further from the use of a lightsaber simply because to him it had become a weapon of last resorts when there were less obvious methods to use... minus the fact he still preferred the scythe that leaned against the wall. "Perhaps... were there any reports of a certain area that is targeted or does it appear to simply be random snatch and grabs Patricia... Maybe that area is being targeted by these 'sith' lords of the dead and maybe we can find out what is going on by looking in that area during the day and night?" He tapped his leg as he talked, his eyes moving from each person in the bar to the next and his breath held as he sat there. Such a... odd group that surrounded them in this bar.

 

[Evania Charr]

Evania was sitting next to Solan, clutching his hand and looking terrified. Her daddy had told her that they were going to meet some friends of his but that was all she new. The poor ten year old now regretted deciding to tag along. Part of her wished she had stayed on Kesh with someone babysitting her. The young pyromancer gave Solan a questioning look mixed with fear, as she tried to pay attention to what was going on around them. [member="Solan Charr"]

Looking down at the little kid Patricia smiled a warm reassuring look at the child, gods they were getting old. Patricia remembered when they didn't have kids to worry about, or when they didn't have to worry about changing diapers or taking their babies to school. It was a different time and part of her missed it, she missed going out and howling at the moon with her friends. But she wouldn't give up her babies and husband for all the liquored up nights on Zeltros from her past. Patricia's eyes shot over to solan and her brow raised in an expression that could be read as, "really?"

"Reports have kidnappings in random sections, there's no location on patterns or victims. Background searches ran up with nothing on the vics. If this was criminal related we'd know, but there is one thing that sticks out with our victims. I looked into their medical files, at least one person in each household of the victims see the same doctor." she said tossing a file over to solan.

"Even more strange we pulled up some medical reports. The victims scored high on the Midichlorian count, I say we press the bar tender then head over to that doctor." she said to solan after making a gesture that they drop off the kid first.

Patricia loved kids, but this really wasn't the best place for them. Especially after a crazed man on spice just walked into a bar and shot up some ceiling, there was a time and place for things and she didn't want the girl hurt.

[member="Patricia Susan Garter"]

His eyes moved over to look at [member="Evania Charr"] and smiled at her as he listened to Patricia. "Agreed, Its probably going to not end too... bright." His eyes moved up for the moment and he looked around at those in the bar. "Question, if the bar tender or the doctor don't want to talk... what then?" He waited for her answer while he turned again and spoke to Evania. "Were going to bring you back to the ship Little Robin, ok?" He had a habit of naming those he cared about after animals, normally over birds themselves though over anything.

 

[Evania Charr]

"But I wanna stay with you. I don't like being on the ship by myself! I have my knives! I can protect myself. I been defending myself for years living on the streets in Nar Shadda before you found me! Let me come with you! I might be able to help!" Evania whined at him, pouting and crossing her arms. The girl was rather good with her knives and the vibrodagger she carried. With how small she was, the dagger was more like a short sword to her, and she definitely knew how to use it like one.

[Poro]

It was then that Poro woke up and started shifting around in [member="Patricia Susan Garter"]'s purse. His head eventually poked out of the purse's opening and he stared at the three people in front of him. His tongue was hanging out of his mouth while he panted. He hopped out of the purse and traversed the table. He almost INSTANTLY noticed the small chocolate volcano cake in front of [member="Solan Charr"]. He excitedly ran up to it and started nibbling on the side.

He nibbled enough to where the wall of the cake had given out and a flood of chocolate fudge greeted his face. He quickly jumped back, steeping in the puddle of chocolate fudge and he moved onto whatever he found next. Tracking chocolate fudge on the table, he ran over to a basket of breadsticks. He didn't notice the small plate covered in some sort of oil and a Parmesan bottle next to it. He jumped onto the plate and started slipping and sliding as he tried to get off.

He lost his balance and flipped over, his back now drenched in oil. He was now thoroughly messy, so he tried to find some way to get clean. He saw a stack of paper napkins, so he pounced on the stack and rolled around in the array of messed up napkins. When he was done, he did his best to roll up onto his feet. He was now a paper napkin mummy thanks to how sticky he was. He could still see through a hole in the napkins around his face. He turned around and stared at [member="Evania Charr"]. He barked-squeaked at her out of happiness.

 

[Evania Charr]

Evania giggled and reached across the table to pet the fuzzy little creature. She wasn't quite sure what it was, but it was adorable and fluffy and that was enough for her. She didn't care the little fuzzball was a mess. The little girl smiled cheerfully up at her father as she pet the small critter.

"What is it and where can I get one?" she asked her daddy excitedly, staring up at him with wide, hopeful eyes. [member="Poro"]

 

[Miss Blonde]

[member="Solan Charr"] [member="Evania Charr"] [member="Poro"]

Patricia had literally no idea where the Ropo had come from, to be honest she knew her daughter would find the thing adorable. But Patricia on the other hand did not, it reminded her of Kincaid. The way he wanted to wear his food rather than eat it, and that was enough to make Patricia want nothing to do with the little mess maker. She had a house to clean up these days. But that didn't mean the furball was useless, Solan's daughter wanted to come and there would be some "adult themes" that would be present on this mission. So she would make the kid an offer

"You want one? Tell you what, you stay in the ship while your dad and I handle business and you can keep this one." she said with a smile.

They seriously had to go soon, they couldn't keep stalling at this bar and they were running out of time. So her gaze shifted over to solan who posed a valid question, but since she didn't want to alarm the child Patricia simply smiled and spoke in a kind voice.

"We ask them really nicely." she said with a few pops of her knuckles to get the hidden message across.

"Now we need to move." she said with a sigh afterwards.

 

[Break]

From outside came a clamor, Break walked in in a rather karked off mood.
"What kind of person just goes around shooting like like a madman?"
He spoke to himself. That's when he noticed whom he once called Lady Raven, [member="Patricia Susan Garter"] . After his latest client had recently been found dead (due to apparent fright)((possibly by ghosts)) he was fresh out of patience. He needed a drink and would love to see a familiar face. He approached the group brining a round of drinks with him.

"Mind if I sit with you? "
He asked in a kind tone.
"There have been some really messed up things Goin on right now eh?"
He said as he moved in closer

[Lypheen Grath]

Lyoheen leaned outside on the building, waiting for someone to tag along with, as his ship has been stolen as he was inside. He noticed a family walking out, and holding a gun said,

"Wherever you're going, I'm coming with."

 

[Evania Charr]

Evania nearly leapt over the table and hugged [member="Patricia Susan Garter"] when she said that she could keep the Ropo. She smiled cheerfully at her and turned to Solan.

"Daddy! I'll stay on the ship if you let me keep it? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase? It's soooooooooo cute! It can keep me company while I wait for you to come back! I'll feed and love it and cuddle it all the time! I promise! Can I keep it daddy, please?" Evania begged after hearing the nice lady's offer. She was now attempting to pick the fuzzy little critter up and craddle it in her lap. [member="Solan Charr"] [member="Break"] [member="Poro"]

He just smiled and laughed at the scene. He was happy that Evania was so happy and nodded as he spoke. "You can keep him Evania, but i don't have to make it too difficult to understand taking care of him is not easy..." To tell the truth Solan had no idea how to take care of an animal... for that matter he barely understood if he was taking care of his own kid very well and was pretty sure after they dropped off her at the ship Patricia would be chatting his ear off about how much a bad father he was... Granted he couldn't really argue with her about the fact but still.

"After you Patricia, im sure the bar tender would speak much more easily to you than me... what with the giant scythe and all i carry on me." He smiled as his hand moved back behind him and picked the scythe off the wall as he stood. His hand coming around Evania to hold her close to him while he carried it in one hand. At his belt was a pistol, and a Krath Warblade. Hidden in his Viola Coat was a number of daggers and up his sleeve was secured a saber that he rarely used. "Hmm... Little Robin, you have the knife i gave you right?" He looked at Evania, making sure she had the one defense he knew she could use.

 

[Poro]

Poro let the napkins slide off of his body as he started to lick the hands that held him. He stared at her with his tongue lolling out to the side as he turned upside down, little legs pointed in the air. The girl was cute and he liked her. So, he decided to do his party trick once more. Squeezing his eyes shut and grunting with exertion, his fur and eyes changed to match her looks.

[Evania Charr]

Evania giggled and rubbed the little Ropo's stomach as it wiggled in her hands. She held the creature against her chest as she followed Solan, though she made sure not to hold too tight. The little pyromancer followed her daddy as he and Patricia left the table.

"Yes Daddy, I have the knife. Can I give this little guy a bath when we get back to the ship? He's still a little sticky..." Evania was more focused on [member="Poro"] right now than she was on anything else. [member="Solan Charr"] [member="Patricia Susan Garter"]
