Old Ladies that like hitching a ride....

[Ariella Garon]

​

Help a old Lady out with her bags.​

​

​

​

It wasn't every day she got to dress in her other persona but today Ariella found herself doing just that. After all she couldn't be to careful around this space port one like so many a cross the black suns territory. Now came the question that some was asking what in the galaxy was she there dress like an old hang. That was simple she was sniffing out rats or in other terms. Those that thought that Black Suns wasn't watching some other criminals taking some of their profit right under their nose. What does any good higher ups do since the sweet little blonde to do the dirty work that those see as little work for their underlings.

Coming to find herself now at a cross road in the busy port of ships taking off and landing. Nothing was being put a side she keep her mind sharp and more importantly she memorized some of the logos of ships coming and going along with their names. Even got close enough to record some of their talk. After all why would any one thing that a old hang like her would be anything but just that.

Moving a long with her staff in hand with a limp to make it look as if she had a hump in her back. Finding this to slow her down but it was all part of the disguise of hers. Spotting one ship that took her ccuriosityas she hadn't seen this make or model in this neck of space. This causing her to move closer now for the real trick. To get passage on board.

"Give an old lady a ride to the next space port to the core, there sonny." , grinning as to show that she didn't have all her teeth or so it would have one think. But behind those faults one was a full set of chompers. Pulling on this ones sleeve @Cobalt Krell "Help a lady out with her bag.",

A spaceport on a Black Sun world was possibly not the best place for a Jedi to be, but certainly a good enough place for a bounty hunter like me. Until Cobalt the Redeemer was a household name, I would still have to keep looking around for jobs on my own. Searching around for wanted posters, trying to find the one who posted it. Bounty hunting is good fun, and I hoped it would be for many more years.

Now, what I wasn't expecting was for an old lady to come, yank my sleeve, and ask me to help her carry her bags. She looked like she could be any old lady on any planet in the galaxy... But there was something off. People in Black Sun territory didn't grow old unless they were really smart, really lucky, or a combination of the two. I just shrugged, and took the bags from the old lady.

"Of course I'll help, ma'am. Just need to find a cab, or something."

I looked at the old lady and grinned crookedly.

"I'm not carrying bombs or espionage equipment, or anything, right? I don't like getting shot at, or blown up too much."

Stopping as this old lady lend hard on her staff rubbing her bum to pretend that it was hurting her like it was no one business. It was the smell this one was giving off that made her curious about him. This was almost the first mistake to bring up her red flags on the inside of her. After all not everyday one would carry bags for anyone around these parts.

"I see sonny that your sweet deary mother taught you manner.",

Coming out with if he was being made to carry her heavy bags. "You never now dear, I might be a weapons dealer, I can ever tell, would that be a bad thing." as she tap him on the shoulder as she hackled a bit before coughing up what look to be blood or was it just her jolly rancher that she been sucking on before he came to her aid.

"Now for that cap, what bring you to this part of the wonderful galaxy.", as she now was stretching her bum as she had this down a bit to much. After all she had to keep up this persona if anything to gather more information from this one.

 

[Cobalt Krell]

"I'm a bounty hunter. Not a big enough name for clients to come to me, so I go to them. And Black Sun territory is the place to find 'em. There's always a corrupt politician to off, or a Hutt that needs a few more holes in his head."

I sighed, as I totally failed to hail any sort of hovercab, or any sort of anything. Just me standing on a platform, waving my arm like an idiot.

"And my dear, sweet, mother taught me how to kill. My manners, or lack of 'em, are my dad's influence. And, um, should you be coughing up red stuff?"

[Ariella Garon]

Scratching her bum once more after all she had to play this up. Even those she smirk at the name of this being Black Suns. "Really sonny I didn't know that.", as she looked him over kind of to pretty to be a bounty hunter but then who was she to judge what people was or wasn't. As she watching him with her good eye or what look to be one good eye and one bad one. Even so she caught wind of something down the way from them. Making her turn towards it to spy one of the gang boss.

Now this was intersting what was he doing showing his ugly face right now. Then it came to be just maybe she could recruit this one into the Black Suns. Again if he made it through and to see if he really was a bounty he said he is.

"mmm bounty hunter I might been around a few that might or might have been talking about that fellow down there having a good price on his head.", as walked along trying to keep tabs on him as still moved at her slow pace. Still keeping with her own discise for the time being. Didn't want to tip her hand this early in the game did she now.

"What you say want to slit the money, ", as she let herself eyes go to the tad pink skin one.

[Cobalt Krell]

I smirked at the ugly-looking criminal, and I nodded, looking down at the old woman.

"Sure, ma'am. I'll shoot 'im for you. Dead or alive?"

I took another look, and imagined the guy's face in the sight of my rifle. A red ring around that ugly mug, a red ring that promised his death. I shook myself out of that daydream, and looked at the old woman again, unsure of what she was playing at.

"I mean, if you really want me to get him. Could be that I've fallen into an elaborate trap, and I'm gonna be pushed off this platform the moment I level my gun. But that wouldn't be very nice of you, eh?"

[member="Ariella"]

 

[Ariella Garon]

Bring up to her mouth her gloved hand while the other remain on her bum scratching. Tapping her own lip, she knew her choice but couldn't be so quick forth coming. As she slowed her speak more as if wasn't trying to remember. After all being an old lady thinking wasn't so sharp right.

"Well lets see I believe he very dangerous, and they talked about taking out clean.", as she looked toward him smiling showing her own set of rotting teeth. Waiting for him to do the job. "if it was me sonny I would take out his body guards also they look mean looking could want to take revenge on their boss be shot down.

After which she just moved out of the way wait if he did the deed she would take her own lips to whistle loudly. At a speed in waiting just maybe this was her plan the whole time. After all she was part of the Black Suns wasn't one of the underlying. Then again she wasn't one of the head cheese either.

[Cobalt Krell]

I looked at the old lady, surprised at her continued clarity of thought and speech.

"If I didn't know better, I'd think you're a lot younger than you look, ma'am."

I turned towards the gangster, grinning and setting the rings of the scope on my rifle.

"Watch this."

I sent a stream of Force energy flowing into the gun, and condensing into a ball at the muzzle of the gun. I fired, and the blast of electricity, along with the blaster bolt itself, blew a hole straight through one of the bodyguards. The other one turned, and returned fire, grinning evily.

"Oh, look. He's having fun. What a nice way to go."

And my next shot blew through the man's unarmored head.

[Ariella Garon]

Taking back by this ones observation this one was very much having much smarts about him. This one she would have to be more tricky with after all what would something like this be with out a challenge or two. Not even letting herself miss a beat. Looking at the grin boss now trying to find cover. "Oh yes he was having fun, nice way to go if you ask me.", as she moved a little bit only to look down at what was her old ragged cloth of fading black had a new color of a dark red and getting bigger on her upper shoulder.

"Shit, you bring that scum life to an end.", as she looked down towards the target.

"Now I'm not getting any younger sonny.", more with a twist of pain in her voice but she held the tonnage.

[member="Cobalt Krell"]

 

[Cobalt Krell]

"No offense, but you are one bloodthirsty lady."

I smirked at the gangster trying to find cover from my power bolts. Oh sure, he could hide behind something, but nothing short of very strong metal could protect against one of my shots for long. I took aim at his hiding place, and fired. Something flammable exploded, and that was the last of the scared gangster.

I turned back to the old lady, who probably wasn't so old as she appeared.

"So, how was that, ma'am?"

[member="Ariella"]

 

[Ariella Garon]

Letting out a little cracking hackle from deep with in her throat. Looking around him at his handy work as let go of a grin again.

"Well sonny would I have such old looking teeth if I am not as old.", as she shook her own head to this. Now if you don't mind I think we got a ride it would seem.", as she slowly limp to the speeder that was waiting. "I for one don't think we need to be around if some of his men come looking for him.

If he did follow her would then have her sweepers men come out and clean it up. "Beside I might know of some one might be interesting in meeting with you with your job skills.", she wouldn't give away to much just not yet. After all one coudln't be to careful. Getting it as she spoke of an address now came the real answer would he follow her. AFter she could be the one leading him to his own death.

[member="Cobalt Krell"]

 

[Cobalt Krell]

I shook my head, and sighed. This lady could have been a trap, but she'd already done me at least one good turn. I just shrugged and got in the speeder.

"So who are these 'interested' people? Black Sun, the Hutts? I'm not on very good terms with the latter..."

I tried to relax, but there was something off. Both about this woman, and her modus operati. One did not usually stalk a bounty hunter, or give out free information and kills to the person they were hiring. As for the woman herself, I had almost no doubt that 'she' was somebody in disguise. Possibly even a man sent to scout out that particular gangster's territory.

"Now, how about you tell me who you really are, lady? It's way easier to go waltzing into a trap with confidence if I know whose trap it is."

[member="Ariella"]

 

[Ariella Garon]

Couldn't help but have a little grin on her own lips. To the fact that one like him smart enough to place a guessing game of who the old hag was really. After all this a bit on the easy side to have him follow him. "So you think black Sun would be interesting in such a low on the totem polo like you." , as if she didn't bother any more after what seem a lot of twist and turns. Landing on a very old looking pad out of the way or sorts. There waiting a large lizard.

<Thiz one zmell blood...> looking at Ariella. To see her wave him off. "Its only a flash wound nothing more but I will want a med kit brought to me shortly."

<YeZza BoZZ Lady..> as she was help out only to turn back to see [member="Cobalt Krell"].

"Are you coming or just going to sit there.", limping as she once again was trying to make it in with some effort. "Oh Taisk mission was successful, and this one needs payed.", just what did she mean to pay him with credits or maybe something like a bolt after all to her he was just a stranger that knew that looks wasn't not all it cracked up to me. Bring him inside she did as to note from the outside to the inside was a different world.

[member="Cobalt Krell"]

 

[Cobalt Krell]

"Blood? Did the guy shoot you?"

I looked around the entrance hall, marveling at the difference between the banged-up old storefront and the actual building it hid. I laughed at my own amazement, and I gestured at the lizard.

"A Trandoshan, huh? If you guys aren't with Black Sun, then who are you with? You're too well-informed to be freelance..."

I sighed, and mentally chastised myself for getting involved with a job that wasn't find, aim, shoot. I would have to be more careful...

[member="Ariella"]

 

[Ariella Garon]

The Trandoshan looked at the man, what would be a smile if one could say that lizard can smile. Flickering his tongue out a few times walking the Ariella disappear. No doubt to get changed.

<<No..black..Zun tis one not tell...whos she iz.>> this brought a what could be a deep roar like chuckle from him. This was a very amusing to him, as if he looked at the man more closely their had to be a reason why Ariella had latched onto this one. Knowing his boss never did anything with out reason.

<<tis one...not kniz what ...this one ...looks like>> this bring out more of amused chuckle. She was one for surprise like the first time he met her thinking she being week old but then something didn't smell right as one should smell of being old.

[member="Cobalt Krell"]

 

[Cobalt Krell]

I rolled my eyes at the Trandoshan, who was clearly having a laugh at my expense. Then I grinned, and put my hands in my pockets, searching for a bottle of cognac. I found it, and took a short draught, all the while increasing my body's output of pheromones to its very limited maximum,

"I know she's not an old lady, my scaly friend. Or at least not as old as she appeared to be. Too lucid, too alert. I've spent most of my life reading people to get money out of them. My rather specialized skill set doesn't make me suited for much else."

I took another short drink, and laughed a bit.

"You're probably getting a good laugh, the two of ya. I always like a bit of a mind game before a hunt. It keeps me sharp."

[member="Ariella"]

 

[Ariella Garon]

Finding herself getting the wound clean out by one of her other men that was below her in rank in the Black Suns. Grabbing a bottle of the fine ale as she down it before letting her finish dressing. In a short top leather that left her belly exposed for the time being with tight leather pants that had heals to go with it.

Finding herself pulling her hair back only to let it fall as she step back out. Looking towards Tiswi as he was sniffing the hair to show his own teeth at [member="Cobalt Krell"].

"Twiswi, sweet its okay I can handle a little mind came.", with a smirk upon her own face.

 

[Cobalt Krell]

I took another draught of cognac, and looked up to see the beautiful blonde woman smiling at me. Evidently, she was the same person who'd been dressed like an old lady, not ten minutes before. Her eyes fit better with this pretty face, though, and I was slightly more relaxed, knowing that I had been right about the old lady. My pheromones kicked into even higher gear, from the annoyance I felt at being tricked, and because, well, that was one good-looking master of disguise.

"So the masks come off, and we can see each other for what we are. A princess in disguise, and the gunslinger she disguised herself to find. What is it you want, exactly?"

The pheromones might make her answer my questions more easily, but I didn't think she would totally succumb to them. Pirates were usually made of sterner stuff.

"Seriously, I would have killed that guy for the sheer pleasure of it. You didn't have to dress up, or anything."

[member="Ariella"]

 

[Ariella Garon]

Her loyal Trandoshan still not wanting to leave her mistress side. After all she bought him right of the slave block. If it wasn't for in Hutt pit of slim wouldn't know what he be doing or if this one would still be live. Now his own tongue was flicking out at a quicker rate then before. Ariella giving one of those smirk of hers. Couldn't help but feel a bit more at easy now that he was on her own territory. After all she did have a curiosity about a gunslinger being here with out any kind of loyalty or as it seem to be at this moment.

"Now where would be the fun it that, after all did say me from having to use my weapon beside its fun to play dress up once in a while, never now what kind of stray one picks up.", with her own hand coming up with her own bottle of a warm color of ale.

"Tiska, its fine I can handle someone like this one, after all we know who in charge of this operation around, I'm sure this one will not do something foolish.", raising her eyebrow to him as she cross the rest of the distance. Not before giving Trska another look one that told him she had this handle. After all what could a simple male like him do, here knowing that he wasn't out of his element here and in her den.

[member="Cobalt Krell"]

 

[Cobalt Krell]

I took another swig of cognac, and glared witheringly.

"Define foolish. I'm not about to try and zap you. But I definitely don't trust you."

I drank some more, and electricity crackled down my spine.

"Now who are you, really, and why am I here?"
