Sweet, Sugar, Candyman!

[Eris Desnae]

The little bell over the door tinkled as yet another patron entered the candy shop. The store owner assumed it was yet another child and didn't look up immediately, but when he did he was extremely startled by what he saw. Perusing the shelves and bins of his store was a petite blonde with her hair done up in pigtails. She was dressed in school girl uniform, although, it was a little to small in more than a few areas and left little to the imagination. The woman's blue and white plaid skirt was micro-mini in size and her white blouse stopped several inches above her navel, leaving a large expanse of her tan abdomen exposed. The blouse was tied just below her breasts and open, revealing every bit of cleavage she possessed. The store owner blatantly looked Eris over, staring for far to long. However, her attire wasn't what had him a little worried, it was the ridiculous amount of sharp objects attached to her body. Strapped to her lower back were two curved short swords, a pair of short-hilted lightsabers on her hips, and strapped to her thighs were a pair of hatchets. She definitely wasn't someone he wanted to mess with and he really wished she would hurry up and leave.

Tongue stuck between her lips the young Sith Knight looked up from the bin of candy she had been eyeballing and saw the store owner's eyes upon her. She smiled sweetly, waving, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. Her vibrant green eyes darkened for a moment before returning to their normal color. Turning away she wandered around the store, the heels of her boots clicking loudly and only serving to draw further attention to herself. All the children present turned to stare at her and finally with a roll of her eyes Eris turned toward a group of them, crouching down to their height.

Emerald eyes met a myriad of colored orbs and she smiled, giggling. "Hello...tell me, didn't your Mommy and Daddy teach you that its rude to stare? Mine sure did! I only stare if I plan on killing someone...Are you planning on cutting me to bits?" Eris was still smiling, but the children were pale as ghosts. They trembled and all shook their heads vigorously, tears welling up in their eyes. Pouting Eris reached out and patted each of them on their heads, speaking tenderly. "Then do me favor itty bitties...Don't stare anymore. Its rude and can get you into a lot of trouble..." They all nodded and as soon as she stood up to her full height moved away, whimpering as they tried not to cry. Eris smiled, "awe, so cute!" and turned back to the shelves upon shelves of candy.

 

[Matreya]

Zaiden sat across the street from a well known Candy Store, eyes not currently about but residing inside the shop. There seemed a woman inside going over inventory, most likely looking for something for a kid or something, but she seemed to be scaring the children...despite his view on the woman who clearly flaunted what she had, he would always despise those that were cruel to children. Slowly rising up, Zaiden watched as they all paled and she made to look back at the aisles.

Crossing the street quickly, the Legate entered the shop and began to view the many item - making sure to stay opposite the girl.

 

[Jake Travers]

Jake wore his usual black cargo pants and hoodie as he walked along the sidewalk, not caring about the heat. He was heading to the library when something had caught his attention. In a candy store across the street, a woman had seemingly terrified a group of children inside. She was definitely a nice piece to look at, but he drew the line at scaring te little guys. Shaking his head and pulling his hood down, he slowly made his way over. As he did so, he noticed another man in th action of doing the same thing. It seemed there were more than a few decent people left in the galaxy. Smirking to himself, he wondered just how this would go.

[Bloodknight]

Standing outside the candy shop wearing black shoes,pants and a suede jacket of the same color zipped open halfway to let the jacket and it's erect collar open up in a "V" that showed the red shirt and black tie underneath, Andreas waited for the royal kids he'd been hired to protect to come out of the store. He readjusted his sunglasses; he didn't need them,it wasn't that bright outside but he felt it completed the outfit. He looked up and saw two men coming his direction, but they did not appear to be focusing on him so he shifted his attention to the flock of children bursting through the door. They immediately started sobbing and telling him some overexagerated story about a naked lady scaring them.

He had seen everything that had happened and normally, the mercenary wouldn't care. The kids were acting demickey and they got what they deserved. But this particular set of kids would give him hell if he just did nothing. They were annoying and rambunctious and Andreas can't lay a hand on them because that would start a war and lower his customer satisfaction rate which was perfect so far. So now he just has to give the woman a stern talking to.

He walked inside of the shop,casually stepping right up to @[member=Eris Desnae] . He didn't step too close,his towering form being too close could communicate hostile intentions and make the girl trigger-happy. He was sure he could take her,but a fight is still the last thing he wants happening here. His eyes,dark brown and visible through the tinted lenses of the sunglasses were intense and stern as he looked down into her own green eyes.
"You harassed my kids?"

 

[Eris Desnae]

Eris was well aware of the men that had entered the shop minutes after she had sent the children scampering with their wee tails between their legs. Their Force signatures were as dark as her own, but she paid the first two men little mind. She was in no mood to play with either of them as her sole focus lay upon the candy nestled neatly in their pristine bins. Making a mental list she only glanced up at the third man (@[member="Andreas Wintergreen"]) that was suddenly within her path, his words causing her to role her eyes.

"If by harassed you mean gave them some sound advice, then yes I tormented them terribly."

She placed the back of a hand upon her forehead and made a sound like a distraught maid, before outright laughing at the man as she moved further down the aisle. "Don't get your panties in a bunch," she glanced over her shoulder at the man and tossed him a lollipop with a grin. Turning away she went back to collecting what candy she planned on purchasing, oblivious to the fact that the other two men had entered the shop for the same reason. All three men were worried for the children, how very Jedi of them.

[Matreya]

Happy the kids left, Zaiden listened to the woman's words and grinned. She wasn't so bad, clearly. He'd watch her further he decided, but not overtly so. Picking up a few pieces of chocolate Zaiden began to nibble on a piece. Ignoring the owner as he called out about buying first.

 

[Bloodknight]

He caught the lolipop as it flew towards him and set it down. Andreas didn't have much of a sweet tooth. Well,he's talked to her about it and she responded. His work here was done.He was about to go walking through the door when he noticed the children standing behind the window with pouting faces. Okay,so he had to do a little more. He wouldn't bring up the children again: that's been settled and neither the girl or him cared. But he needed to engage her somehow,maybe he could simply engage in some small talk . The kids couldn't hear him so he could be talking about anything and just go tell them she said she was sorry. But what to talk about...

He walked back up to @[member=Eris Desnae],this time less sternly.
"So what's a sith doing here buying candy? Your master got a sweet tooth or something? "

 

[Jake Travers]

The other two men seemed to have lost interest in standing up for the kids, which disgusted Jake. Walking up the the woman with a nasty look on his face, he decided to do something about it. He may have been asking for a death wish, but he isn't care as long as somebody did the right thing. "Hey, you got a problem with those kids? What'd that do to you? They just wanted some candy, not to be harassed by some stuck-up little Sith like yourself. You mind explaining your actions?"

 

[Eris Desnae]

Vibrant emerald eyes rolled about in her skull before she looked to @[member="Andreas Wintergreen"] again, her pigtails bouncing softly as she shrugged. "He might, feth if I know." She grinned and continued shopping, one arm steadily filling up with more and more candy. "Is it a crime for a girl to like candy?" She glanced up at the man, her heeled boots clicking against the linoleum floor as she grew ever closer to the shop's counter. "What's a Sith doing babysitting a troop of snot nosed brats? You aren't their big brother, clearly you are the manny."

Her eyes glittered with mischief as she scooped up a basket and deposited her loot in it. The basket wasn't quite half full as she moved to go to another aisle, but it seemed one of the other males that had entered after she sent the kids a skittering had decided to grow a pair. She only smirked at him, on hand resting upon her hip as she yawned in a bored manner. "Not anymore."

Completely um-threatened by the man she moved past him, dropping more candy into her basket as she went. "They were rude, I wouldn't have wasted my time otherwise." She rolled her eyes as though @[member="Jake Travers"] should have already known her reasons. The boy was irritating with his questions, but for the moment she remained cool. Eris was far more interested in satisfying her sweet tooth; perhaps she'd play with him after she made her purchases.

"They chose to leave, I didn't chase them out and actually I do mind. Do you mind? I'm trying to shop here!"

 

[Jake Travers]

Jake scoffed at the woman's words. "Um, yea, they chose to leave because you scared them half to death! I'm not stupid, nor am I blind. Now if you have an issue, take it out on someone your own size." He watched the kids outside as he dressed her down-with his eyes as well as his words-and gave them a small smile. They'd have their candy soon. Hey, someone had to look after the little guys.

@[member="Eris Desnae"]

 

[Bloodknight]

Andreas looked at @[member=Jake Tavers] and spoke softly and reassuringly
"It's alright. The kids are mine and I'm handling this. There is no need to make a scene"
His words were laced with the force as the knight attacked the simple initiate's mind. His mastery of the force was superior and unless this man was trained to resist shuch attacks, there would be little in the way of his consent. Turning from Jakeand back to Eris,he noticed the pattern in which she chose her candy and started putting them in her basket for her (force of habit) as he answered her question.
"My life doesn't revolve around The Empire,actually. I'm not so much a nanny, more of a royal escort. See those kids you met before? They're ill raised and I apologize for the inconvenience."
Despite himself, Andreas was starting to think more of the girl. He found it admirable that the woman coulkeep her composure after being confronted like that.

 

[Matreya]

Zaiden stepped forward with a chuckle, "Dude, calm down." To those about himself that were Forcers, they would recognize a flare of energy emanating from the Legate. For he fused each word he spoke with his talents at Mind Control, not overt attempt but enough to make the man hopefully calm. He wasn't sure the man's mental prowess nor did he care, "Come on buddy. Go outside and give them some chocolate if your that concerned. Clearly it's not much of an issue, they're fine and she wasn't persistent."
@[member="Jake Travers"] @[member="Eris Desnae"]

To @[member="Andreas Wintergreen"] he nodded, "Andreas. Hope your battle skills have improved since last we met." He grinned so the man would know it a jest. Andreas was a good man, one he had dueled and even enjoyed fighting. He knew he could hold his own, and thus did not warn him to back off. The younger man of the group could get himself hurt just by either of the men, and he knew not of the woman but could sense danger around her like a smoke.

 

[Jake Travers]

Jake was about to object, when the hand of the force laid upon him. "Are you kidding? Didn't you just- Well actually, there's no need to make a scene. I'll just buy them some chocolate bars, no big deal." And at that, he left the group to go buy some candy to hand out to the kids. Outside, their eyes seemed glued to him as he bought the sweets, then came outside with them. Smiling, he began passing it all out.

@Shado @Andreas Wintergreen @[member="Eris Desnae"]

 

[Bloodknight]

@[member="Shado"]

Looking over to the man, Andreas smirked at his jest.
"Fancy meeting you here, Zaiden. Or is it Shadow now?"
He said, letting Zaiden's code name slip out as minor payback for him speaking his real name aloud.
Feeling the need to explain why exactly a mercenary/assassin/bounty hunter like himself is loitering in a candy shop, he continues, a little lower in volume this time.
"I'm escorting royal children who apparently have a sweet tooth, if you're wondering"
He had no doubt Zaiden would have to believe him. If he did enough research to know his actual name,then he'd also know that being part diathim, Andreas didn't have any need of food, much less sweets.

 

[Matreya]

"Ah. Sounds simple enough. Well, I'll be over here if you want anyone to talk to about what to buy them or what not." He said and turned on his heal to return to the opposite corner. The objective had been to keep from having the younger man be wounded, and as previously mentioned he knew @[member="Andreas Wintergreen"] could handle his own. None the less he watched @[member="Eris Desnae"] in case she was to much to handle.

 

[The Red of Sinner]

The massive Czar ran into the store. He was in a dire need of chocolate. "Someone please inform me we have chocolate here! By all that is holy....I can smell it!!!!" Jerrick rushed and grabbed a hand full and huffed a credit chip at the man who appeared to be in charge @[member="Shado"]. He opened the first and popped it in his mouth savoring the sweet taste. Never really paying anyone attention, but it probably looked foolish this big man in armor rushing for sweets. @[member="Andreas Wintergreen"] @[member="Eris Desnae"]

 

[Bloodknight]

Nodding confirmation to @[member="Shado"] 's words, Andreas then turned to look at @[member="JerrickShado"] as he came crashing through the door searching for chocolate with misplaced urgency. He could allow himself to dwell on the strange man with his strange behavior, but he had a job to do that simply cannot be delayed any further. Speaking of which, it was almost noon and he was behind schedule. The mercenary shoved past Jerrick and darted out the door, meeting up with the kids outside before they started a brisk walk down the block.

 

[Matreya]

The credits bounced against the wall, for the Legate launched into motion. Sliding swiftly across the floor at the man with Force Enhanced speed, Shado aimed to slam him against the nearest wall. It's my Recon Armor! he thought to himself as he aimed with his utmost speed to grip around the armored neck and pin the man steady.

"Why are you wearing MY armor!?" The Supreme Lord of Valhalla roared, unintentionally letting the rage he felt back his words to the point that the windows reverberated till huge cracks formed. He hoped Andreas would have gotten the kids far enough away to not accidentally damage them.

@[member="JerrickShado"] @[member="Andreas Wintergreen"]

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Jerrick dropped his chocolate on the floor as he was aggresively slammed into. What the hell is going on, why was this man attacking him. "By the sweet aroma of chocolate!!! Get off me!! You psycho! What recon armor? I didn't know!! I just found it!!" Jerrick pushed the man off him with his super strength not holding back. He got up and brushed himself off. His chocolate no good as it was smashed. "My chocolate!!!!!!!! Why!?????!" He kneeled at his chocolate holding a small funeral for his lost sweets. He grabbed a hand full more and popped another in his mouth. "The hell man!?" He chewed soft on his candy. @[member="Shado"]

 

[Matreya]

For those about himself, a new danger began to emanate from the Sith Master. Candy began to shake vehemently before launching into the air, anything not bolted down began to follow suit soon after. The items continued to grow in size until it was truly getting hazardous. Zaiden wasn't concerned any longer about the others safety, the man had acknowledged that it was not his, and thus the Legate would take it back.

Slowly Shado was losing control, the veins along his face swelling with Force enriched blood while the veins in his eyes slowly turned black until the entirety of his sclera changed the appearance of his eyes. The man would regret "finding" his armor.
