Love Zero Twist​

​

Mike's Floating Bar
Ashalon Coast, Denon
[member="Neo Calix"]
With Music, Featuring Nano


It was a solid piece of glass. With whole white stairs leading up to the main platform and the quiet drinking bar beyond. Tourists smiled and easily passed a glass. The bartender nodding with sudden delight. The glass floor of the platform overlooked the perfect pale beaches of the Ashalon Coast. Here the wind was warm, the drinks were cold, and women were even warmer. A paradise floating among endless blue skies.

She stood there. Leaning against the bar with a smile on her sun-kissed face. Long hair flowing with the ocean breeze. Turning slowly as another starfighter arched against the clouds. White dress, white skin, white sand. Noticing a new arrival. Noticing a new face. Same, the bartender looked up from his swimming orchestra of liquid courage. The dark man smiled and threw a stack of credit chits on the bar. Motioning for their new arrival to come and claim get his latest bounty. Work was good. And today would be even better.

"Nice work rookiee! They never even saw you coming! Ha!"

He folded his arms with glee. Gesturing to the money with her red fuzzy cheeks. Happy to notice his surprise. She noticed too. Free money on the table. A free man just arriving. Ha. What could possibly go wrong.

The bartender gestures again,

"Well frell son. Don't just stand there. First rounds on you today! Ha!"

Three cheers from the standing crowd. A homecoming fit for a floating bar hero.

Welcome back Neo Calix. It looks like you just got paid.

Neo stepped forward taking the money on the table, he smiled as he paid for a round of drinks for the bar looking at the beautiful girl standing beside the bar he smiled handing her a drink he had just paid for "Im Neo"

Corsica Cinto smiled as Neo handed her a drink. She liked him immediately. Bold. Handsome. Maybe even clever and resourceful too. Clearly he required more investigation.

"Corsica. Charmed."

She gave him a soft wink of her eyes and moved to lean on the counter. Brushing away her long white dress. She seemed relaxed. Enjoying the beach environment and all the luxuries it had to offer. A warm sun. A slow pace. An eager feeling that something good was about to happen.

"Congrats, I suppose." She mused with a twirl of her glass. "And just what might we be celebrating hmm?"

The bartender must be congratulating Neo for something?

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Neo attempted to not blush as he was congratulated by this pretty girl. Corsica that was a beautiful name "Corsica, that is beautiful name for a beautiful girl, as for what we are celebrating, I had a bounty on me and the bartender bet me I couldnt take on the bounty hunter I did and I won so I got paid." He said moving a bit closer to her

Compliments will get you everywhere. Neo's mother must have taught him well. Corsica pursed her lips and placed her back to the counter,

"Oh? So you're an outlaw then? Running from the law, robbing banks, and dodging bounty hunters eh. That sounds so... Dreadful. Pity."

The bartender laughed. Clearly he thought outlaws were the best. Corsica could only shrug. She came to Denon to get away from all that mess. This wasn't the outer rim after all. This was civilization. Commerce, wealth, and silver starships galore. Not the red lights of Zeltros nor the sky traffic of Coruscant either. Denon was all about science, technology, and the prosperity of the ingenious mind. Cloud City had nothing on this place.

Corsica played with her drink. Slowly losing interest in the murderous lawbreaker and dirty scoundrel that must be [member="Neo Calix"] . Surely.

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

At the point in time that he moved closer to her his eyes would drop, what he wasn't letting on was the fact that he had let the bounty hunter live, he was on the run from the first order, he moved around a lot. He had known the bounty hunter for a while, they were friends, once the hunter had realized who his prey was he had given him the helmet of his armor as proof but moved on unharmed. His eyes would drop thinking about this his demons haunted him. "I-I'm sorry its not what it seems, its rather complex"

The woman pursed her lips tightly and pushed away from the bar. Taking one step towards the stairs and the white beaches below. Then pausing to twist her neck ever so slightly,

"Adieu Master Calix. Till we meet..."

She stopped abruptly. For someone else was just arriving upon the glass stairs.

"Hello my good people! Hello! Hello!"

A tall strong man ascended the translucent abode. He was tall, annoyingly handsome, boisterous, loud, and flamboyant with his hands. With slick blonde hair and clad in a racer's red leathers. Corsica knew him immediately from watching the holo-vids. This mouth-cannon was Lythe Hudson. Champion swoop racer. A celebrity of the very worst kind.

"Mike! My old friend! How excellent to see you again!" Lythe shouted over the conversions. "Come now! A drink, my friend! A drink! I'm parched."

The tall racer waltzed right up to [member="Neo Calix"] and pointed a heavy leather glove in his face,

"And you lad. Ha! Think you can drink me under the table eh?"

Corsica and the bartender both raised an eyebrow? They were pretty sure Neo hadn't said anything. Yet, Hudson continued,

"Fine then! I accept your challenge!" He turned to the crowd and bowed deeply. "A drinking content! Have at you curr! Haha."

Mike squinted while Corsica balked. It appeared that the legendary racer Lythe Hudson had just challenged Neo to a duel of booze. Oh dear.
