Merrill's Magnanimous Matchmaking Marathon (speed dating)

[Jorus Merrill]

The venue: A moderately classy restaurant on Coruscant, well within most budgets.

The plan: Get filthy rich.

Jorus skulked at the edges of the room, monitoring the people who had signed up to meet their destined One True Loves. Because people would pay for events like this -- and, in fact, if they were here, they'd already paid the very reasonable fee.

And, unlike the last time he had tried running one of these, the male/female ratio was actually fairly decent.

 

[Garza]

Darren was told that there would be a Speed dating place that he was invited to. He wanted to make sure that he looked some what presentable. He shaved, took a nice shower, went to the barber to cut his hair. had his clotes ironed and his boots cleaned. He dressed in his fathers back Jedi robes with his white leather boots and white leather vambraces.

Darren was on Courscant for the first time in a while. He was glad to get awya from the fighting for a while. Just to relax and do something that could end up fun. He shrugged his shoulders and walked into the restaurant. it was nice lookin and modest. he saw a few more people here when a man came up to him "Will you be joining the Merrill's Magnanimous Matchmaking Marathon?" Darren nodded his head. the man moutiond for him to follow. he was lead to the bar and left alone. He ordered a beer and took a drink, waiting for things to get started.

 

[Sandis Veeran]

Sandis, already a little tipsy from a celebration back in a bar down the street (one of the patrons, whose birthday was that night, had bought drinks for everyone), was highly amused by the neon, flashing signs in front of the speed dating venue. Sure, though Sandis, why the the frag not? She entered the door and was greeted by a man dressed as a waiter, who seated her at a small, white table, big enough to only hold two. She spotted Darren at the other end of the room, and she absentmindedly waved to him as she took off her helmet, adjusting her black hair.

 

[Garza]

Darren waved back and grabbed his beer. He walked over to the table and sat down. Realising that he didnt ask he said "Sorry I dodnt ask to sit down, but how are you? Darren wondered how Sandis could remember what he looked like. He had only seen her once and he had his helmet on the entire time. It could have been by his signature because of his armor. O well. He took another sip.

 

[Sandis Veeran]

Sandis smirked. "I've been good." She could see by his puzzled face that he wondered how she'd recognized him. He had sat in that exact way the last time they'd met. "So, speed dating? Looking for a fun night or a life partner?"

 

[Garza]

Darren nodded and responded after he took another swig "Any. If i find the right person then its going to be 'The one' if not, Im having alittle bit of fun." Darren didnt bring shisword he only had his two white lighsabers. You never know.

 

[MAD]

MAD. The ruthless man with no name. He stalked the streets in unassuming garments, not at all suspicious in the environment of Curoscant. Curoscant of all places! MAD was a deserter, not because he didn't like to be a soldier, in fact being a soldier is all he knew. To kill is all he knew. Though what he was killing and how he was "killing" them was an entirely different story. You see, because although he can't remember shit about his childhood, about how his father beat his mother, and then when she died (probably because of him, or her commiting suicide. Too selfish to save her own child from her husbands wrathe, too afraid) turned on him. It was through his father that the now memoryless MAD had inherited his womanizing interests, his sadistic interests.

He craved pain, but not just physical pain, oh no. That was simply too easy, too short lived, too... normal. No, he craved this night a different kind of pain; love. Emotions were his domain, and how he loved to toy with them. They were difficult to locate, and harder to manipulate. Emotions were fickle, and he loved them. Whenever he caught one, he made sure to twist it beyond wits end, and turn it into something preverse and evil. That, is what he craved this night; and upon seeing the bright flashing sign above him, he simply could not resist. He walked in and brushed his dark blonde hair, smiling and looking directly into the eyes of any woman he saw with his deep blue eyes.

 

[Sandis Veeran]

Darren nodded and responded after he took another swig "Any. If i find the right person then its going to be 'The one' if not, Im having alittle bit of fun." Darren didnt bring shisword he only had his two white lighsabers. You never know.

"That's a good compromise." A Waiter brought her a beer, and she took a sip. "Me, I'm just curious as this whole...establishment. I'm just along for the ride." she smirked as she recognized the innuendo.

 

[Garza]

Darren smiled at the play on words. He noticed a rather Dark fellow walk in the room. He would make sure to watch out for this character. He looked back at Sandis. "It apparently seems that way for the both of us." Darren raised his bottle and said "To Enjoying the ride."

 

[Sandis Veeran]

Sandis raised her glass as well. "I'll drink to that." As she sipped down her mug, she turned around, after noticing Darren's eyes flicker to the entrance. She noticed the Shadow trooper. "Well, I'm keeping an eye on him," said Sandis, winking at Darren.

 

[A 'den]

Today was A 'den's first time ever being on Coruscant, it was fun and exciting, but he was now lost. He didn't really care since he was still wearing his beskar'gam and had his weapons with him. A 'den looked at the around and seen a sign saying something about a Merrill's Magnanimous Matchmaking Marathon, decided to check it out as he had nothing better to do.

 

[Garza]

Darren almost laughed at the wink. "Oh yeah you'll keep an eye out for him alright." Darren drank the rest of his beer. and set it down. he looked over to the door to see if there were going to be any more people.

 

[Darren Onyx]

Onyx was here to find a girl. It was the first time he ever took his armor off since joining the Empire. He was dressed in a grey cloak with matching boots. Onyx, for the first time in public, didn't have his helmet on. His long blonde hair was greased back behind his ears and was nicely kept. His blue eyes illuminated in the lightning. He was strapping for someone who was bent on killing. His scars only added to his attractiveness He had picked up many girls in the past, tonight he just wanted to find the one.

Onyx scanned to see if anyone he had met before was there. To his surprise, he saw his long time friend Darren Shaw sitting at a table with a girl. "Good to see Darren actually has a girl," Onyx whispered to himself as he approached the two.

 

[Jorus Merrill]

Leaning against the corner wall, Jorus nodded to himself as the actual speed-dating activity began.

 

[Garza]

Darren saw his friend Onyx come over he stood up and greated him. "Damn It has been a long time since we last met." Darren grabbed the mans shoulder and squeesed alittle. "Never seen you with out that helm of yours off. and the Robe? It fits you." Darren indicated for Onyx to sit down. Sandis I would like you to meet my friend Darren Onyx." He turned to Onyx and said Onyx This is Sandis. I met her on a recent treck to look for Dragons." He then sat down himself and grabbed another beer for him and one for Onyx.

 

[Darren Onyx]

"Nice to see you too old friend."

Onyx looked over at Sandis. "Nice to meet such a beautiful creature as yourself."

 

[MAD]

MAD looked around in disappointment. Not much of a selection for women around here, much to his suprise. Though he did see one girl who had the unluckiness of attracting two other men other than him. So he decided to butt in.

"You were, looking for... dragons?" He said trying not to bust out laughing.

 

[Garza]

Before anybody else could say anything Darren stood up and walked over to the man. he puleld him off to the side and talk to him alone saying "First I would rather you not creep in my conversations. Second Yes we went to lookk for dragons. yuo know Kuat dragons? Never heard of them?" Darren was lying but he used the force to help persuade the man. "and please keep it down." Darren walked away and went back to his seat.

 

[MAD]

As he was being pulled over, the guy went on about some sort of exotic creature. He assumed he was on drugs or something, and to be honest he didn't care all that much. But then something strange happened that he did not like at all. The divergence of him and his prey was one thing, but delving in and invading the mind of a man who already had trouble with keeping his own memories straight was entirely another. Being a Shadowtrooper, he was more or less immune to any "trick" a Jedi could impose on him. He gave him a sneer, and pushed him away.

"I don't like being toyed with Jedi," He spat at him, "And don't you ever... try that again." He snarled with a pointed fingre. "Anyway, enjoy your prize and stay off those drugs you've been taking. Trust me, I probably know what its like." He told them all, "If only I could even fucking remember, stupid accident..." He mumbled as he went to search for new prey. But he keep his eyes on the Jedi. He'd kill him some day, when he least expected it. He'd do it in front of his friends, so he could see the shock on their faces, the pain, the misery, the heart break. That was his goal in life. Pain.

 

[Darren Onyx]

As Darren returned to the table, Onyx spoke up. "What was that?" Before anyone could say anything he continued. "So is this your lady?" Onyx asked, referring to Sandis.
