Royal Pains [Nimue]

[Josh Dragovalor]

He smirked a bit when she answered, nodding. "Of course, if you're discovered, I can just say that I offered to assist you in representing your people while doing some good in the galaxy. Nobody can fault either of us for that. It was my idea not to mention, and I'll say that if necessary" He would remark with a shrug. "If you're damned for doing good in the galaxy just because an off-worlder was there, for a race that you say is heavily against the act of slavery... Well, maybe some people just belong in solitary confinement" He would add. It was true, though. If there were problems for that, then in a society that was apparently trying to move away from the brutality that she had spoken of earlier in their old ways, then anyone who tried to cause issues for doing some good could probably be labelled a sociopath. But he still needed to study their traditions and culture.

"Granted, as long as you keep disguised, there shouldn't be any issues. I'd think of a fake name though. Take precautions since you obviously don't want to be discovered"

[Nimue Stormson]

She nodded before thinking on a proper disguise. A spark went off in her head before she jumped out of bed and hurried to her wardrobe; not caring if she was naked. She hid herself from [member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] in order to surprise him when she was done. It had taken a few minutes before she stepped out of the wardrobe, now looking different than before; but too much so. Now she had a hot red wig over her hair, which was tied up and kept secure underneath. Instead of green robes she had more tightly fit trappings in light purple. Heavy make was added to her eyes and lips to hide her face more. She posed in front of him, trying to show how sensual this newer look was.​

​

"What do you think?" she asked in a more sultry tone than her usual one. "Does this fit? What's a good nae for little ole' me?" ​

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Well, the full moon was out for a moment which took him by surprise as he pretty much had to jump out of the way of the naked Empress rushing to the wardrobe. And then she suddenly seemed to decide to hide. He would shrug, sitting down on the bed casually as he would find his own clothing and actually dress himself if he hadn't already. Since she was taking a little while, he would stand in front of the mirror for a moment as he fixed his hair up so he didn't look like he'd just come out of hyperspace while on top of the ship, before returning to the bed. Finally, she returned, and she looked different. And good to boot.

He chuckled a bit in response to her questions and nodded in approval. "Looks good" He said. "Not sure about a name. But I'm tempted to see if we could walk out of this room without anyone seeing, and then go for a walk and see if anyone actually recognizes you" He cracked, with a smirk.

"Hmm... Names, names, names... I'll just shoot some first names off the top of my head and see what happens" He began as he would take a deep breath before starting to recite names.

The Jedi Master cracked his neck and shrugged his shoulders a bit. He wasn't sure if she would be a fan of any of them, really. He'd tried to mix in names he was used to, with more exotic and unique names. Granted, he didn't know what names were normal in her culture. But he hoped she at least liked one of them.

"Last name... Hmm..." He mused aloud, scratching his head. "Not sure. I suppose we can tie it to whatever works as a first name"

[Nimue Stormson]

With each nae he fired at her Nimue gave small reactions like "Meh... Eh.... Nah....Ewww..." Before finally settling on "Oooo. Bethany. I like it." She then went into a more sensual pose again and said "I'm Bethany Slateson. My father is a iron smith and I'm his only daughter, sheltered for most of her life but all the men won't take their eyes off of me." She looked at herself in a mirror and added "But I'm being too shy because deep down I want someone to take me away from this awful home and...." she stopped and looked back at [member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] , knowing how it must've sounded to him, before explaining "Just trying to get into character." ​

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Just as he figured she was going to reject every single name and she'd have to settle for a name he probably wouldn't even be able to pronounce, she decided on Bethany. Bethany Slateson. He chuckled a bit and nodded. "I like it" He said with a curt nod though started laughing as soon as she started trying to get into character. "You're quite the actor" He would tease with a smirk. "I remember the days I use to take a fake name for a mission with an old partner of mine. Co-worker, not romantic partner, before you ask" He added, chuckling.

"We pretended to be downtrodden citizens of Coruscant, down on our luck, a couple living together in a crap shack, so we could infiltrate a criminal organization that dealt with drug trades, illegal shipments, spices, and even slaves. We worked our way through the ranks, subtlely sabotaging their efforts while looking good ourselves until we were promoted to a position at their headquarters, where their prisoners and slaves to be sold were being held. With their main branch exposed, we stormed the place as Jedi Knights and took them down"

He smiled a bit. That had been years ago. But it was fun, while it lasted. He missed Asha. It was a shame she went down like she did.

[Nimue Stormson]

She nodded while listening to his story, only while looking at herself in the mirror to fix her looks. She adjusted herself to look more "presentable" before asking, once [member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] was done speaking "So who am I to you once we get there? A fellow Jedi?" She thought before saying "No. Not the type. A partner maybe? But what kind? Ooo." she gave a coy look. "Maybe I'm just eye candy to keep them distracted while you get in from behind, eh?" ​

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

He laughed a bit when she would ask her questions. "A partner works, if you're going to be fighting" He said as he would spin his lightsaber on his finger casually. "While you'd make GREAT eye candy... Eye candy doesn't really get down and dirty, unless its in the bedroom" He teased with a chuckle. "So, partner works. I think this is the first time I've done this little trip with a partner who wasn't a Jedi, actually" He would add.

"So, care to go test out your disguise?" He asked with a cheeky grin.

[member="Nimue Stormson"]

 

[Nimue Stormson]

She nodded before telling [member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] "If anyone asks, the 'Empress', is sick and does not to be disturbed for the rest of the day under any circumstances." After that she gave only final bretah before getting into character and walking out the door. No one was around at first, which was good. Better not to have anyone question an odd woman walking out of the Empress' room. After that she had Joshua follow her out. She stayed close with him and walked with him as they began to pass servants. None gave second glances at her or even bowed to her. Some she stopped and watched them just walk past her without even knowing. She giggled but tried to contain herself as she followed Joshua. ​

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

The Jedi Master chuckled and nodded to her request. "I expected as much" He said as they walked out together. Nobody was around. Good. They could sneak out and blend in as they were. He considered making a joke about holding hands, posing as a couple, culling any rumors of a Jedi with an Empress. But alas, he watched as the servants didn't even look at her, and he chuckled a bit under his breath.

He smirked over at her. It was working well.

Once they made it to the ship Nimue, or rather 'Bethany' had sat down and laughed at the fact she fooled everyone. She looked to [member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] and said "This is amazing. It's hiding in plain sight. It's so...so....I don't really know. Not so sure I like the feeling of not being noticed." She thought to herself and only commented "Don't think I'll try it that often." ​

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Once they got to the ship, the blonde laughed and nodded in response to what she said. "I get to hide in plain sight every single day. Its nice, with people not knowing you're a high and mighty Jedi. Just letting yourself be... You. Or something or someone else if you choose to be. I go incognito quite often, to drink at the cantinas, to meet interesting people. Living a life, you know? And sometimes I get information out of it that people wouldn't normally tell to a Jedi" He added with a chuckle as he sat down.

"So, we all set to go?" He asked. The writer wasn't sure if she meant her ship or his ship.

[member="Nimue Stormson"]

 

[Nimue Stormson]

She made it clear to go to his ship. best not to make it seem as though the Empress was off planet. Hearing him out she nodded before giving a more eager nod to indicate she was ready. Strapped into her seat and keeping her eyes glued to the viewing window 'Bethany' was all the more anxious to be out and about while testing her new identity. ​

He nodded a bit and would head to the cockpit. He wasn't much of a pilot, in his eyes, so he generally let his astromech do the work of steering. Still, there were things that the Jedi needed to do himself, and that included starting it up, plotting their course, and ectera. "R4! Plot a course for Kashyykk! We're turning those slave-taking hunters into the hunted!" He called to the astromech who was in the co-pilots position. It let out a series of whirs and beeps as Josh would press a few buttons, and before long the doors were closed on the outside of the ship and they were on liftoff.

Once they lifted off, Josh nodded to the droid to autopilot things for a little while as he looked over at Nimue. "How you doing over there Bethany?" He would tease with a chuckle. "You all set?"

[member="Nimue Stormson"]

 

[Nimue Stormson]

"Are you kidding?" she asked, still looking out the window. "I feel amazing!" She was like a schoolgirl about to enter into a popular club. A child at life day. She was practically bouncing in her seat the whole way. It was a little odd though. Given how she acted it was unclear if this was still Nimue, or Bethay's excitement she was feeling. ​

​

[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"]​

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

The blonde chuckled at her reaction. Despite being an Empress, she was bouncing up and down like a little girl on life day. "I take it you don't get off the planet much?" He would ask curiously, tilting his head as he leaned against the wall, still near the cockpit. It would be time to jump to lightspeed soon, he knew. "Or is this Bethany talking?" He would tease, smirking a bit.
