Sorting through the Wreckage(Alliera/Rach)

[Ori'Alor Tal'Verda]

Alliera was sitting in a cheep chair, that is part of a cheep dining set, in a cheep motel room. She was wearing a pair of brown tacticle pants and a black tank top, with white socks peaking from below the too long pants. Alliera had a bottle of Corellian Ale in her hand, from which she was periodically taking long swigs of, wanting to deaden the feelings in her heart. "Damnit you bastard." Alliera said, frowning "making me feel so fething confused."

"Least I haven't frelled with your head, lover," said Rach, slipping through the hotel room door. He, too, had forsaken his armor and his weapons. "I've done worse to better. What you confused about? You and A'den seemed plenty happy the other night. Alright, maybe I lied when I said I wouldn't mention it."

He kicked off his shoes and crashed on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

"That moment, when you said you loved me more for 'growing up' and then said you pretty much tried to almost-rape the Vice-Chancellor of the Republic!" Alliera said, taking a huge swig of Corellian Ale "And somehow the Echani got a bur up their @[member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""][member=""]ss about Darksider, and both of us incapacitated a number of them, thanks for the cover by the way: 'Oh Lord Can't-keep-it-in-his-pants-icus'." Alliera got up and layed down next to Rach, still holding the bottle, and laying her head on Rach's sholdier. "You go from the most romantic thing you've said to me in a while...to 'Oh yeah honey, I almost raped a girl, I know I love you but did you really mean to rape that woman?"

 

[Ashin Varanin]

"I'm not a rapist," he said. "She changed her mind, and I was fine with that. I framed it in the worst possible way because I was trying to draw Vondiranach out of hiding. There wasn't much else I could do. The man was invisible, with a known anger problem. Would I have gone through with it? Yes, so long as she didn't object."

He was, of course, lying to himself.

 

[Ori'Alor Tal'Verda]

"Ok, with that outta the way." Alliera said, greatly comforted by what he said "Who hired you to ruin the wedding?" Alliera looked over at Rach, and removed her shirt, straddling his waist. "Oh What is your will." Alliera said, in a seductive tone "Oh 'Dark Lord of the Sith'." Alliera smiled, and kissed Rach on the lips, using her hands to move his hands above his head. Alliera was drunk, and somewhat needy, all of that could be sensed on her surface thoughts.

 

[Ashin Varanin]

A low chuckle rose in Rach's throat. For the moment, nothing more needed to be said.

Afterward, of course, as they lay there, he pondered the future more than he ever did.

"I hear you have a shot at becoming Mandalore."

 

[Ori'Alor Tal'Verda]

"Yeah, It's exciting." Alliera said, smiling "I've been writing up and thinking up new ideas every day." Alliera kissed Rach's Cheek, smiling excitedly, thinking about her possibilities. "I've got a few project ideas that could make the Mandalorian Position a lot more tenable." Alliera said, looking at Rach "do you thinik Velok would be willing to be take on a new student?"

 

[Ashin Varanin]

Rach sat bolt upright in bed. "Velok? Seriously? If I asked him, maybe...feth, Allie, that's a bold thought. You know how many Forcers he's killed? What he does to his students? He takes them and makes specialists out of them, gives them new combinations of obscure powers, experiments with their skillsets. It might go well, it might go very, very bad."

 

[Ori'Alor Tal'Verda]

"I need power to protect my people, and he has the knowledge to gain me that power." Alliera said, frowning as she sat up and pulled the sheet up with her to hide her 'fun bags' in case anyone busted in "If I offer him a monthly paycheck, there's a pull for him to show restraint, and besides he isn't who he used to be...you and me together can probably whoop his ass."

 

[Ashin Varanin]

A wavering image of Velok shimmered into sight at the foot of the bed.

"Could you? Could you really, child? Hello, Rach. Husband of Mandalore's heir apparent. Who would have thought that you used to fly freighters though the Unknown Regions for me?

"What do you want to learn from me, Alliera Nakamura?"

 

[Ori'Alor Tal'Verda]

"I want to learn what you can teach me." Alliera said, adjusting the blanket to hid more of her body "I need tto protect my people, and you can give me the power and knowledge to do that." Alliera looked at Velok for a minute, and scratched her head, "Will you do it?"

 

[Ashin Varanin]

"You're giving me carte blanche to just...give you power? Turn you into whatever I want? I want to be very clear, child. There's a reason there are no Force-using Mandalorians. It's because they inevitably end up embarrassing both Force users and Mandalorians. It looks bad. Cheap. And as a result, nobody takes them seriously.

"I've decided that I'll teach you a certain subset of very specific powers, in exchange for a rather respectable amount of money. Come to meet me on Toola, and quietly. The Whiphid homeworld is in Sith Empire space. Either you trust me to teach you, or you don't."
