Labeled a misfit, abandoned (Fringe, mayhaps?)

[Riley Topol]

So, this was the Fringe Federation, was it? Zethyn was going to have to get used to maybe calling some place home. But from what she gathered around the galaxy, this was the place to be. Out on the rim, and a place where people could be themselves? Maybe she would be able to find someone that could use her unique skillset? That was what she was truly hoping for. Landing her Preybird, taking a standard approach, she was a bit surprised by what she was seeing here. A fog world?

Fitting.

Landing her fighter and slowly descending the ladder, she took a peak around the local area. She wasn’t one for history, but was sure there was something about this world. No matter, taking her flight helmet off and shaking her hair out, she took a walk around her Preybird, running her fingers over the warm metal skin. Maybe this place was somewhere she could find someone to teach her how to be better than she was?

See, this was the thing. She felt like she could belong anywhere, or that she could make herself look that way. Must be the life of a shapeshifter, it helps when her personality could do so as well. Not that she was going to use that skill of hers, physically speaking, until she needed to. Besides, if she was going to belong somewhere, or anywhere, she was going to need to be someone, and a face as nice as this one was a good one to go with.

Looking over her shoulder when she heard someone talking, she smiled. Giving the newcomer a smile, she nodded. “She does her job, that’s for sure.” A whole lot of work, that was the nice thing. “What about you, your own? Or are you around here more than not?” Was the major question, someone that could help her out?

im visiting as for my fighter a xwing ive got another but its in storage, now what it you need i may be able to help"stardust asked smiling big @[member="Zethyn Flagg"]

 

[Riley Topol]

Zethyn nodded, smiling. So, this person was just visiting? That wasn’t going to be much of a help to her. She was looking to find someone from the Fringe Federation who would be able to point her in the direction of a place to belong. A group that could use her, or someone who could teach her how to use the Force, and where she could be useful. Still, this person might be useful, who knew, right? Sure as hell not Zethyn.

“Me? I’m just… I’m trying to find someone within the Fringe Federation to point me in the direction of someone who can help me out. I’m kind of between… lives, you’d say?” And the fact that she was a changeling that was ringing all too true, because she could be anyone, and had been someone else before this whole trip. But that was a story for another day. “Are you part of the Federation?”

So, maybe this one was helpful after all. Zethyn nodded and smiled. At least they were excited. The shapeshifter took a second longer to size up the other woman, just to get herself acquainted. She wasn’t sure who was going to be the best representative of what the Fringe was like. But she knew better than holding one person to represent the group It was tricky.

“Well, I’ve been told the Fringe is a pretty free place for anyone?”

That was something she needed. A place to help her learn who she was. Who she could be. What she was here for. These were all things that she needed to do, so that she could be useful to... someone. Anyone. Everyone.

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

hmm well yea its a pretty free place ans theres lots of things to do"star said smiling "so what you good at doing"star asked

[Riley Topol]

She smiled. See? This was progress. This was what she wanted to hear, part of it. She was sure they topic of employment and where she could fit in would show up soon. “What kind of things?” She was going to humor the other, and learn a bit. It wasn’t exactly what she was here for, about the Fringe. It was about finding a place to belong, and if she could be useful.

“Well, I’ve got a set of skills, pilot, mechanic, good with a gun, and… I’m able to get around without being noticed, really.” She smiled, no need to go too deep into that yet. Not yet, at least. “Where would I be able to find myself someone who might be able to teach me some things?”

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

well you just mentioned some and im sure i can teachvyou a few thing"this was pretty fun she always liked meetimg new people everywhere
[member="Zethyn Flagg"]

 

[Riley Topol]

Zethyn was hit or miss with meeting people. Sometimes they were useful, others… not so much. And with a lot of the men folk, she just took her time to do what she could to make fools of them. They were simple, men. She knew that if she took the time, she could make most people weak at the knees, a skill all Shi’ido had. She just need some time to perfect it. She needed to learn how to work the Force so she could pull their thoughts. That would make it so much easier.

“Oh yeah?” What could she learn from this one? “What sorts of things?”

[member="stardust"]

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

well i can teach you to be a better pilot and im good witg engineering"star smiked proudky
[member="Zethyn Flagg"]

 

[Riley Topol]

Zethyn couldn’t help but smile. She was already a fair enough pilot, sure, making her life through a ship she knew was one thing, and flying anything was something else. The practice probably couldn’t hurt. And she knew for a fact that her mechanical skills were slacked. She could keep her ship running, but that was due to the fact that she knew it. Inside and out.

“You think so?” She said with a bit of attitude in her voice. She was just taunting, a little bit. To see where [member="stardust"] stood against her. It was necessary for Zethyn, really. “And where would I be living, if I took you up on this offer?”

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

mhmm "star smiled attitude yep she will git along nicely "well you could come live with me if you like i dont bite"stsrdudt said jokong [member="Zethyn Flagg"]

 

[Riley Topol]

Zethyn smiled. It was nice to see that not everyone was going to fold at her attitude. She wasn’t the type to just stand back and let people win, no sir. And really, it wasn’t that there was much to lose here, but still… There was something. And living with someone else?

“That’s an idea, I might take you up on that. What does the Fringe have in way of a military? Or someone I can talk to about contracting out?” She wasn’t actually a soldier and preferred to work her own way. She had more freedom that way, but getting paid was pretty important.

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

A Preybird was military-grade hardware, no matter how old, and it wasn't often a lone warship came in unannounced looking for work. That sort of thing caught eyes, and Ashin's eyes were just this side of everywhere. As an Arbiter, first response to situations like this was at least partially within her purview. As luck would have it, her flagship was in the system.

The Chimaera's hangar bay disgorged a TIE Exalt, a modernized, powerfully upgunned version of Darth Vader's ancient fighter. It slashed down through the fog and settled not far from Flagg and the former Galactic Empire operative Stardust. The woman who emerged walked with a hefty limp, leaning on a gimer stick. By the same name and another face, she'd once crafted and unified a Sith Empire. By a different name and this face, she had unified the Unknown Regions. Now she no longer used fake names, false Dark Side signatures, or any of the rest. Nor did she rule anything anymore.

"Welcome to Fringe territory," she called out to the pilot as the fog parted between them.

 

[Riley Topol]

Zethyn nodded. There was a bit of interest for her in the military, at least as a contract hire. Maybe not someone who was full fledged military, but it would help to get some of the military’s funding and products. It would help out, for sure. Guns, a ship, repair parts for her Preybird. That was very tempting. But finding someone to speak to? Was [member="stardust"] going to help her with that?

She heard the sounds of twin ion engines. Was the Empire here? She had heard that the Galactic Empire had disbanded, but where were had they gone? It must have been to the Fringe, they were close to the Unknown Regions, after all. Looking to where she heard the voice, the blonde stepped back.

“Ma’am.” She nodded. “I appreciate that. I didn’t exactly have an appointment, I’m aware.”

Stardust turned and smiled the lady that had got her left arm for her"hello its been awhile I guess hasn't it"Stardust said to [member="Ashin Varanin"]
