Tattoos and Predicaments

Naboo, a planet similar to Mandalore except for one difference, their were no jerky military guys here or just commanding officers. Amber hated both of those things, the first a bit more then the second but not by much. It was a crystal clear day upon Naboo, the clouds were a light gray color with the sun beaming through the thickly clustered clouds which would make for a good photograph or tattoo to make. Will, too bad Amber didn't have a camera right now or anything to deal with tattoos cause she wasn't even at her tattoo shop which she opened up herself. It was run by her and a few friends she made on Naboo, it was a slow process but where people usually have a lot of people, Amber had a few people who would really good with tattoos and just artistic stuff in general. Mostly nothing went wrong at her shop of sorts, will except for some people.

Amber was walking down a stone street in her standard clothing with her mother's necklace hanging onto her neck. She was wearing a white tanktop with leather boots, leather pants, and a black beanie. Her blue hair along with her tattoos stood out as a vibrant part of her outfit making her stand out a lot easier then regular people. Rather for better or for worse.

Willa had been surprised at the idea of coming here, to help her friend and more's little sister. She had to admit while she was walking her attention was on the greater part of it all. She was getting a ship from nubian driveyards worked on and the Rac had her gear on it.... well aside the from simple things like her field pistol and smg, a rifle on her back and her masters saber in her cleavage as the woman had shown her. It gave her the look of a mercenary on the prowl for a fight at least until she pulled up her holopad and was looking for Zathra's city... in a city with only so much information. Best place in her mind to find a sixteen year old was a place all liked going to an arcade.

Amber glanced a look at the nearby arcade she was walking by. She considered walking into it, she did luckily have some time to spare and a couple spare credits. Besides, who doesn't like flashy colors? People who don't like tattoo's that's who. Suddenly, a rough hand grabbed her shoulder and hauled her into an alley way nearly hidden from view. Oh great, was this Carlos. Amber was slammed against the wall and a hand was placed on the hard concrete wall on the right side of her head. Amber looked at the man, yep she was right, it was that dang Carlos.
"What the Feth?!"
Carlos brought up a revolver to Amber's stomach which was where a skull was on her shirt. Amber would have tried to do something but their would be no way she would be fast enough to disarm him. The best she could get would being shot in the stomach which, judging by how she cut herself on accident with a flip knife while carving a elephant from a block of wood, it would be even more painful then that. Carlos stood a full 5 inches over Amber making him stand at 6'3. Carlos slammed his metal fist near Amber's head hard against the wall causing her to flinch.
"You still owe me those credits you Hutt-Spawn!"
"Look, I'm getting your damn credits!"
"Oh, I bet so.....but to make sure of that..."
Carlos begins to load a chamber into his revolver. Was he going to shoot Amber, will she didn't want to find out. This guy was dangerous but the cops never believed her saying she was doing too much spice, and she wasn't even into drugs. The nerve of those jerks.

Willa was moving and she saw something, a flash of colored hair and someone taking them into an alley as she was moving. The ranger in the stealth armor moving as she listened in and stopped just short while the audio sensors in the helmet picked up the sound of the gun clicking. Her hand instinctively going to her pistol as she moved and the field pistol came up with the paddle beamer attachment set on it while she was aiming it and fired the beamer. Quiet and able to knock out an armor target for hours with a small grin on her face under the helmet as she spoke. "That is no way to treat a lady."

Amber jumped when she saw the pistol knock Carlos to the ground. Carlos landed upon the ground with a hard thud. Amber knelled down near the unconscious body of Carlos and took his revolver from his hand and put it in her back pocket. She kicked his body to see if he would suddenly pounce on her but luckily, nothing happened. Amber stood up, slightly surprised by the sudden intrusion and kept her left hand on the butt of the revolver. Hopefully Carlos would stay unconscious for a while, but man, she needs to get that money some how.
"Gosh, that guy is such a physco, he is so unstable. W-who are you?!"

Willa looked at the girl and raised an eyebrow while she was watching the hand that was on the gun before openign the helmet as it slid away to reveal her short hair shaved on the sides and buzzed on the top. Small tails of her hair down in braids with gems and beads as well as the facial tattoo under her yellow eyes while she was looking at her. This looked like Zathra's sister and that was... beneficial to her in the long run. The more she had to work on things and the more she now had for her equipment the holo in her open palm as she activated the image of Zathra and Willa then it shifted to show her. "Well I am a friend of your sisters."

"Oh, sorry then....this is awkward, h-how is she?"
Amber released the end of the revolver and brought her arms to her sides. She looked up at the sky and the clouds grew a little bit darker every couple minutes. Hopefully it wouldn't rain cause then they would get soaked and Amber hated getting soaked, plus then her leather boots would get soaked and these boots didn't dry well. Amber looked down slightly and saw Carlos's hand twitch so she stepped on his hand. Gosh, he better not wake up cause he would get a beating. Amber then glanced back up at Willa while keeping her hand on his hand.

"Worried out of her mind... did you know you made her hair turn different colors." willa said it as a jke looking at her and motioning her close as she slid her pistol back into the holster and the ranger was walking. "Come on and you can tell me what that was about." Willa was walking and motioning for her to catch up and join her while hold a small grin on her face though and unclopping her helmet to put it on her belt under the cloak.

"Haha, yeah....last time it was brown, guess I'm just that special..."
Amber then did a slight run to catch up to Willa. As she finally caught up to Willa the skies darkened again. Judging by how dark the clouds were getting it was apparent that it was going to rain quite soon. Now the question was how to start upon why she got the loan it was for a couple reasons, some that were rather personal to her but not personal in a bad way, more like personal in a neutral way meaning that the thing she needed weren't either good or bad. Will, might as well start somewhere rather than no where.
"Well first of all I owe him 20 Grand, and Well I haven't paid him back for a couple of months cause I'm trying to get the money back. For the last couple weeks he's been threatening me but this is the first time he has used a gun on me making me worried *sniff* I needed the money to open my Tattoo shop, buy some other stuff which I'd rather keep to myself, don't worry it's nothing bad."

Willa listened to her as she walked looking up at the sky. "Well that is not what I was expecting but if you want I can go back and talk with him. I am sure Zathra will want me to take care of you and getting him arrested for something. We'll think of something." She had a grin on her face hough and... well having a tattoo artist as a friend wasn't a bad idea. She could get some free ink while she thought about some more things going into cover. "NOw how much have you managed to pay him back?"

 

[Amber Collik]

"Will currently I've paid him back somewhere between 10-12 grand with the help of my friends and the money me and my friends make at operating the tattoo place. Although, it keeps on seeming like he raises the money even more cause earlier this week he called me somehow and told me I owed him 31 grand which I know I don't owe him that much.*Sniff*....I-i just don't........"
Amber kept on stuttering on her words and she blinked a few tears away. But just as she was finishing what she was telling Willa, it began to finally rain. Will luckily she had some what of a hat but her boots on the other hand, didn't do well in water. Luckily they were getting close to her tattoo shop. She walked towards the door being careful to not slip on the stone road and she fiddled with her key and then opened the door and walked in before turning off the lights. The Tattoo shop was kinda similar to other tattoo shops in having separate rooms with doors and a leather chair for the person to get a tattoo in. While other then those, the tattoo shop was much different. Their was a wooden desk along with some leather chairs a few feet from the front of it for people to wait in, on the wall above the desk was a TV which was currently off. Along the walls were some of Amber's and some of her friends paintings of stuff. The one that amber was most proud of was one of a raven sitting on a branch and Amber's name was signed in the corner of the painting. Amber walked over and sat down in a leather chair and she kept the wooden colored blinds closed so that nobody would know that they were open because she couldn't deal with that at this exact time. Amber took her black beanie off and sat it down in her lap while also trying to get some of the water out of her cyan hair. She looked back at Willa and now it was more apparent of her different eye colors. Her left eye was a Yellow Gold while her right eye was a Sapphire blue.

Willa was listening to her as the girl spoke about him raising her debt was an annoying she thing knew some did and even if you paid it back there would always be more things. That had Willa looking her over while she was moving checking out the place with a grin on her face. "Hey this isn't such a bad looking place." She went over though and was looking at the girl now more often sitting down. "We shall see what we can do with that, from the sounds of it he'll keep raising the debt and never let you go." That had a look from her though while she was moving a bit. "There will be something though so no tears. Your sister doesn't cry so you can't."

"Thanks, the paintings on the walls were made by me and some of my friends. I highly doubt that, but sure whatever you say. Will I can say one thing that my sister doesn't have, colorful eyes, cause they are both different colors..."
Amber stood up and walked over to the backroom where all of them hanged out on days like this or just days where they 'closed' the shop meaning they just did so to hang out and other stuff. She then came back with a black hoodie on and sat back down on the chair. She brought a hand up to her neck and tried to stroke her mother's red opal necklace. She let out a startled gasp when it wasn't their. That damn Carlos, he must have taken it as part of the payment somehow. Amber had to get it back, she couldn't live with herself if she lost it.

Willa followed her into the back taking a seat. "Don't have doubts kid, we'll handle it and if not I have some credits that he'll be happy with or I can shoot him in the leg so remember not to mess with you." She sat down bringing her feet up to relax as she was listening to the sounds outside. "Come on and sit, we'll order some take out and you can maybe get me another tattoo or three."

Amber had to get her necklace back before that jerk-face sold it or did something with it. Oh, he'd better not do anything with it cause she would probably kill him, or try to kill him that is. Amber turned back towards Willa, hiding the concern on her face with a slight smile. Now let's see, Willa wanted a tattoo. Amber pulled out a medium sized binder that held tattoo designs for her clients to choose from. She gave the binder to Willa and then sat down in a chair by a desk.
"So.....what do you want?"

 

[Willa Isard]

Willa held the binder in one hand while she was looking through it. "Atrisian.... with extra chicken." She had a look on her face while she was going through the book and looked up towards the girl motioning for her to come and sit. "Come on relax, we'll eat some food, there is rain possibly and then when it is all done handle the situation however you want. I'll just shoot him in the balls with a sonic shotgun if he tries to mess with you so he remembers."

Amber chuckles at what Willa said about shooting Carlos in his family jewels. She then searches her jacket pocket and then finds the necklace to her surprise. So, it seems like Carlos didn't take her necklace, more like..she forgot where she put it, after all she did get cold easily which explains why it was in her jacket. Amber then stands up from her chair and goes and walks over to sit by Willa while also looking at the tattoos that were in her custom binder. She then takes off her black jacket and sets it down on her lap revealing the vivid skull and flower tattoo on her right arm. Amber then grabbed the necklace again and fixed it around her neck and tried to clip it together, it was always easier while looking in a mirror.
"Uhh, hey can you help me with this necklace if it wouldn't be too much?"

Willa looked at er tattoo's and then at the necklace as she moved over taking it. She looked in the mirror and standing there now she had to admit, she wasn't even sure she recognized herself looking at the fuzz that had come in where she usually had her head shaved and the little braids. Now though while she was looking at the kid she smiled clasping the necklace and letting it drop. "Well we're just going to see what we can do, I don't plan on going back to your sister and telling her I left you alone here owing credits to someone or in trouble. SHe'd not like that very much, so lets get some new ink and then we'll handle the situation. Give us time to formulate a plan or something."

"Thanks, Yeah, that would be nice, you still want a tattoo. Also uhh, what happened to my sister's boyfriend, it's just will..I kind of ran away..please don't judge, I was confused."
Amber then stood up she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled slightly. To think, she ran way a year ago yet, she still was the same girl her mother and sister knew. Her blue hair was kept closely to her head due to the rain and then she stroke a hand through it, moving it out of her eyes. She noticed her eyes and was surprised slightly. Since when did both of her eye be different colors? Her right eye was a Sapphire Blue and her left eye was a Gold Yellow, interesting but strange. She blinked and the same eyes were still their.
"Uhh hey, is it normal to have a Sapphire Blue eye and a Gold Yellow eye?"

Willa looked at the girl and was standing in the mirror as Willa was stripping down just enough for where she wanted the tattoo while her barcodes and names across her thigh were visible with Zathra's name. She looked at the girl as her eyes went from black to yellow. "It can happen, when you can feel the force though yes I do want the tattoo still, something nice along my inner thigh." She Stood there for a moment longer placing a hand on her shoulder. "You'll be fine I think kid and if anything happens I know some healers who have some of the best skills."
