Faction Painful Memories (AoC)

[Jai'galaar Gred]

Spoiler: Johnny Cash

Location: A bar on Eve.

Jai sat in the bar, way too early in the morning for the average person. He'd been woken up again by the memories of blaster fire, the Sith invasion.... The death that followed.... He drank down the cup of whatever he was drinking before sighing, and eyeing the bartender. He shook his head, not willing to offer anymore to the man. The Mandalorian grunted a little before looking back and seeing two Wild Weasel pilots walking in. Wasn't unusual. They tended to hang around while waiting for assignments, but one definitely had a mouth on him.

"Hey, it's that quiet Mando? Stupid kid probably doesn't even know a barrel from a stock."

"Shut up, Lon. Let him be." Lon then got up, walking closer to Jai'galaar.

"Oh come on, I'm not scared of him. They lost remember. Lost all their worlds. This fella probably ran off like a scared little womprat to survive." Jai just looked up, not seeming too made at first.

"You should listen to your friend."

"Aw.... Is the poor little Mando just not willing to admit it? Wonder what the Sith did? Probably deserved honestly." While the not so bright Weasel spoke, Jai seemed to wince. Memories almost flooded his mind. This stupid pilot.... Jai finally just shot up, putting the man into a headlock. The other pilot talked up, trying to stop her idiotic friend and get Jai off.

"Hey! He gets it!" Jai wasn't listening though.

"You wanna talk about what happened. You weren't there. You didn't see what they did, and you have no idea what I've had to do."

"L-let me go.... Let me... go...." The bartender just quickly hit a button under the bar. One that would warn there was trouble. This wasn't good.

Soooo.... it was safe to say Dex was rather drunk.... I mean like 89% sloshed with yesterdays clothes still one, yesterdays whiskey scent clinging to his clothes and yesterdays lipstick marks around his neck and collar.
His face was scruffy, the starts of a bear forming at his jaw that seemed stuck, making his lips twisted in a cocky smirk that didn't quite reach his eyes.

Dex would return from the bathroom, his hands raw from scrubbing and still damp as he stood rezipping himself as he glanced round the room with a slanted stance and hazed eyes. His eyes quickly falling on one of his own.... ah crap... he'd sigh rolling his eyes. Guess he was gonna have to get involved.... after watching for a moment.... ooh nice headlock.
Watching the bartenders hand reach behind the bar sparked the few braincells left that Dexter had to get involved.
With a have staggered walk Dex would join the lad, his hand resting on the stranger's and Jai'galaar Gred 's shoulder.
"Hey Hey Hey, I'm sure we can all get a long... lets have a drink.... " He'd look to Jai'galaar Gred with a steady gaze before winking. " Or we could all take this outside and I can put pretty holes in your heads for bothering my friend here..." To be honest he had already forgotten Jai'galaar's name but he protected his own.... He'd tap Jai nodding to him. " Let him up now Lad... You've already shown that his mother was clearly too busy on her back to raise him....." Dexter would say before moving to slam his right fist, his bionic limb into the stranger's gut. Dexter wasn't worried about getting kicked out...again... this was fun....

Jai looked as Dexter walked up, offering a drink, and noting that the Mando had already proven his point. He let out a sigh, releasing the Wild Weasel who in return coughed and gasped. He then quickly got farther away, looking to Dexter.

"Best be careful with that one." Jai just stomped to spook him off before looking at the Silencer, sighing before finally walking toward the bar again. He sighed, then put his face in his hands.

"I almost went too far.... Again." Jai looked up to the bartender, tossing some extra credits his way. "If you don't mind me asking... what's the worst thing you've been through."

Dexter would shrug off the stranger. He'd straddle a seat and raising four fingers to the bartender.
When his shot like drinks were poured he'd pass two glasses of the foul smelling bitter tasting liquid to the young lad before shooting by both his own drinks and having for the Bartender to just leave the bottle.
"Ehh.. Don't sweat it kid...killing is fun.... and now we get paid to do it....besides, who'd miss those two? Not me.. so it doesn't matter. " Dex would smirk picking up the bottle and pouring out more drink. He'd hesitate for a moment before shaking his head.
"Do you mean killing? Torture? what I've done or what's been done to me? Kid ya gotta be more specific... I've been doing this for years and I got a long list of each..... and before I forget.... what is your name again?" He'd turn to start at him drunkenly raising a brow and smirking at him.

Jai looked at the drinks that Dexter got, seeing the two he passed him. He sighed, taking a shot before answering the question. His eyes showed... something as he spoke roughly.

“Jai’galaar Gred. I hate to say it, but nothing specific honestly.” He wasn’t sure if he could really say what specifically he was looking for in an answer. He just knew he had the question. “Something bad enough that it never quite seems to go away.”

 

[Dexter Zytros]

Jai'galaar Gred

Dexter would take another two shots before topping up again and then topping up Jai'galaar's .
"Look, Jai... can I call you Jai? Jai I've seen plenty... none of it ever goes away... Hense." He'd pause pointing at the two shots of booze infront of him before chugging the bitter liquid down. " Drinking is good.... hiding your pain behind Humor is better.... and finding someone to warm your bed... or in my case join you in the bathroom for hour is best. You'll learn ways of coping it comes with the job....Some use extreme violence but you seem to be struggling with that...."

He'd look to the young lad before resting his head on the knuckles of his right hand.
"Oki..... Tell me is there anything that makes you happy now? Anything at all, a girl, a guy, a hobby? Find that thing and focus on that." He'd drink again before burping slightly and shaking his head.
"One thing that still sticks with me.... first girl I liked ended up being my target... I couldn't do it... I failed Discordia and paid the price for it." He'd his left hand moving to tap his right arm. He wasn't going to tell him what happened right off the bat that he lost his arm for it but the look in Dexter's eye said it was something he didn't like to talk about.
"So... you clearly wanna talk about it... tell me, what happened to you Jai?"

Dexter Zytros

Jai sighed a little listening to Dexter. He gave a few suggestions, like the drinking and humor. He wasn’t the funniest person ever, and someone warming his bed... well he definitely wasn’t following Dexter’s lead on it.

“My own buir.... My own mom calls me Jai, so you’re good. But it’s ironic isn’t it. Every pegs every Mando as violent to a fault, yet here I am. Whole clan really.” He then asked why made Jai happy now. The Mando thought for a bit on this, looking down.

“My mom was a beast master. Pretty good at it myself too. Why I usually bring a Strill or two on missions. Then there’s my friends from Concor.... Then missions can help at times.” Dexter then explained a situation he had found himself in. Paying a price for not killing a target he loved. He tapped his right arm, and Jai seemed to get the message. He then asked the Mando what happened to him. He quickly took his other shot, then spoke.

“I... I was on Concord Dawn when the Sith attacked. Doing my best to fight them off.... A lot of us couldn’t evac, so we started fighting.... They did so much.... I always hear the blasters, see the battles.... There were times that we should’ve had prisoners to interrogate, but we... I ended up almost no better than who I was fighting.”

 

[Dexter Zytros]

Dexter would listen. Even while drunk his face seemed to hold an interested gaze as he put down shot after shot of the horrible drink.
"People will always peg what you as what you will always be... take me for example.... You see me, I'm drunk, I make bad jokes and I sleep with whoever will have me.... but, do you think that's all I got? Nope, I'm a killer. And I'm loyal to Discordia... and to a deWinter...what I'm saying is kid, everyone takes a look at someone and creates an opinion... your choice is to either, live up to it, spend your life trying to live it down orrr... stop caring all together what other's think... because in the end... who really matters?"Dex would say gruffly before pushing away the glass and now just starting to drink from the bottle. That was much to serious a reply for his own taste but maybe it would help the lad.

" As for your mother, your friends, your beasts.... bring them into your every day life. Use the beasts more if it brings you joy... bring your friends a long if it makes it easier to do what you do..... whatever it takes for you to have peace right here." Dex would say turning to poke his forehead before sighing softly.
Dexter had seen his fair share of war and seeing the way the kid was acting he would slap his back a few times in a semi comforting manor before speaking again.
"I get that kid... Not knowing if you were the good guy or the monster... it sucks.... but it's done and ya gotta start putting your behind ya in the past..... Ya past behind ya, Yeah! What happened then makes very little difference, now sure ,consequences will come bite your ass sometimes... but you are a silencer now... I'm duty bound to help a brother in need.... just don't ask me for money... I rarely have any." Dexter would chuckle again before downing the last drips of the bottle.

Jai sighed a little, but did think back to first meeting Scherezade.

"Ya know, deWinter's the whole reason my butt's not still on Concord Dawn. I know what you mean though." He then thought for a moment as his fellow Silencer explained more, but he couldn't help but think back to everything. He closed his eyes for a second, finally looking back.

"Thanks.... Leaving the past behind is easier said than done. I'll be sure not to ask for credits though."

 

[Dexter Zytros]

Jai'galaar Gred

"Ya know there is more than one deWinter right? So I'm hoping you mean Scherezade cause that's I'm assuming you mean.... she's wild but she's good, helped me out, though my ass is pretty much owned by her... long story." He'd say waving his hand before wobbling in his seat as he sat himself upright again and circled his finger at the bartender to order another bottle.
"Well.. You are one of us now. If you want you can be someone else.... pretend that past wasn't you...I would... Heck, I lie all the time about who I am." He's laugh shaking his head. " Ya gotta stop taking everything so seriously... it'll get you killed, by someone else if you aren't focused or yourself because you dwell on it." He'd wait for a new bottle to be brought before pouring the young lad another.

 

[Jai'galaar Gred]

Jai chuckled a bit, shaking his head. "Yes I mean Scherezade. But you've got me curious now. Guess I'm in a similar boat. She's the one that provided the glitter sprayers for the Cloud Breaker." Then Dexter said that the Mandalorian could just forget the past, and pretend it didn't happen. He also noted that he was a bit too serious, and that it could get him killed in one way or another. He eyed Dexter, sighing more.

"Mandalorians have a saying. 'Munit tome'tayl, skotah iisa.' Long memory, short fuse. Plus.... I'm not sure I can just hide it and forget it. I've tried and... well you saw the results of that." He sighed, looking around. "Though I guess it wouldn't kill me to loosen up."
