Just Another Day in Paradise.

[Jaxton Ravos]

Ker's eyes never left the shapeshifter, always watching in case of strike. Her eyes similarly never left him, watching carefully. Each eyeing up the other to see who was a threat, who would strike first. show a moment of weakness, open up an opportunity. But the shapeshifter it seemed had no time for games, and told to "feth" off. Ker wasn't quite up to speed on what all of Galactic Basic yet, much less the more colorful part of it's vocabulary, but from the tone of her voice he could surmise that she wanted him to leave.

Ker backed up slowly, not saying a word, and keeping his head tilted in such a way that he always had an eye on the shapeshifter, heading out of the bar and it's rampant chaos. Once out he would begin to chant, casting a spell of Touch of the Kindray, allowing him to scale walls. Climbing up the walls on the outside of the bar he waited, listened, and watched, still eager to learn the shapeshifter's secrets.

"Incorrect." she said, shaking her head. "I am a traveler, I pick up the odd bounty for extra money. The fact that this has transpired out of my control is not upsetting to me. I wish to understand, why?"

She tilted her head. "Why kill all these people? Why seek to upset me? Why seek to find a way to lure me into..." she looked the woman up and down "Whatever this is...What benefit is it to you?"

"You lack power weakling. I have shown you true power, the power to capture and control."

Lisa examined her with a watchful eye, keeping her wits close and her built up power continued to rage within her. She could feel annoyance and further anger as the woman trod the path that Lisa laid out.

"Do you have any connection to the force bounty-hunter?"

 

[Lina Ovmar]

"Evading the questions suggests that you do not have the answer I seek. My connection to the force is irrelevant and something you already know the answer too, otherwise you wouldn't be attempting this path."

She glanced at the mess around her. "I do not see control, I see chaos." Aella was not even remotely angry. Perhaps a little annoyed that it hadn't gone her way, but it wasn't the first time and far worse things had happened in her journey. Whatever this one believed, they were no more or less powerful than she.

"Thank you for taking an interest, but I'm sorry to tell you the feeling is not mutual." Turning away, Aella stepped over the corpses and headed for the exit.

While the two witches continued their discussion Ker continued to stick to the wall, high about the ground. If he had grown up in modern society rather than Dathomir he'd have fulfilled his lifelong dream of being spider-velociraptor, but instead all he cared for was power, knowledge, and expanding his magical arsenal. There were many components to being a hunter like Ker was, and patience was perhaps most important, so patiently he waited for his prey, his prize, his future.

"Hold up there bounty hunter."

Lisa reached out with the force, slamming the door shut in the woman’s face before she could exit. She had intended to kill them all, including the woman. But now she felt a different feeling, a weak feeling. Pitty...

Ughh please

"What is the captain worth to you? I'll pay the lost damages, if you come with me to Coruscant, and see the temple of my people."

 

[Lina Ovmar]

Aella tilted her head ans smiled at the closed door.

"I would very much like to see the temple of your people." Aella replied turning around.

"Just not with you."

A casual flick of her wrist and the row of tables nearest to her were flung towards the woman. Aella didn't wait to see what damage it caused, she fled. Wrenching the door open and bursting into the crowded street she blended into the crowd. Running only a few short paces before shifting as she walked. Blonde hair cascaded down her back and a slender red dress hugged her tightly, a denim jacket covering her shoulders. Tucking her hands into her pocket she moved with the flow of people.

Ker watched as the doors shut then and then were burst through, the shapeshifting witch heading out of the door. Focusing his magical might on Ear of the Chiroptix he listened to the worm-tailed woman as her head tails disappeared, light hair began to fall from her head, her clothing changed to a red dress that hung tightly from her body. But she never chanted. Never said a word. Never incited any old mysticism. Just. Flat. Changed. Ker was intrigued further by the woman's demonstrations. Silently he crawled down from the wall, giving pursuit to the now-blonde woman. If she could hide her words, make them so quiet as though he couldn't hear them, then that was a talent he needed learn as well.

Lisa felt the tables flip in the force and the air pressure changed ever so slightly. As the door wrenched open and the woman disappeared she knew it was no use. She was out of time and out of luck. As the table neared she went back to the only weapon she could quickly access, and two black hilted Sabers planted themselves firmly in her palms.

As they hissed to life she swung them both down wards with a savage roar, slicing clear through the tables with the neon green blades. No sooner had the tables fallen then she knelt and deactivated them. Heavy breathing took over as she began to tire, no longer fuelld by the rage of the battle or the irritation of the girl.

With the last of her energy she placed both sabers back onto her rear plate and used her remaining dark energies to rip the skulls of the dead pirates free of their fleshy casings. The captains was discarded but the others she levitated towards her and stashed in a small bantha leather bag at her side.

It was time to leave. Time to return to Coruscant and place these skulls in her alchemy chamber in the making.

With one last glance at the carnage Lisa laughed and walked through the door, disappearing into the crowds

[Thread Exit]

Aella had gone three blocks as a blond red head before she was satisfied she was not being persued by the woman so insistent on dealing death for pleasure. Life cut away so quickly was wasted, it was something Aella had yet to understand. She found no pleasure in killing. It was an occasional necessity, but she would never find joy in it.

Ducking down an darkened alley, she moved several paces into the gloom and stopped to rest her back against the wall. She looked upwards, skin changing as she did. Blonde hair darkened and seemed to shrink back towards her head. The red dress stretch down the length of her and curled about her legs till it was no longer a dress, but instead dark jeans. Completed, she was more comfortable in this form, a spacer with her hair cropped short out of her way.

Still, she remained in the alley, waiting for the one who had been following her. She could feel him drawing nearer.

"What do you want?" she called to the reptile.
