Two coronations and a wedding

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"No we must stay, the security knows what they are doing if we remain calm this will be taken care of and the wedding can commence as planned. And as for Jessica she is not." She would say on her feet. Just then a tentacle would grab at Summer threatening to grab her

Wings fluttered in the wind and a peacock suddenly stood next to [member="Ajira Cardei"] again.

His attention was aimed squarely at the bathroom, where security teams were converging; strangely focused on it, instead of securing the Queen herself, but Fa was just a simple Thirriken... perhaps there was a plan he was not aware of yet. An over-sized blade was revealed within an instant, its edge also aimed at the bathroom.

Yet, Tai spoke to the two women regardless.

"Trust... oh so fragile.​

Scattered to the winds, yes, yes.​

Learn the lessons here.​

​

It is time to go.​

Fast, before the plot is hatched.​

We will protect you."​

​

The blade was swished through the air, it made a hissing sound as it passed before him, in a gesture of purpose.

 

[Kianna Auli'i]

Kianna would look to Summer as she spoke. Then a peacock like creature appeared and she listened as he spoke. She didn't know what to do other than protect Summer and Jessica. That's all she could do right now. Then one of the tenticles pushed rapidly past Kianna going to grab at Summer. At that same moment, Kianna used the force very quickly and pushed it back to where it came from.

After that, Kianna took her original form and stood straight with her hands in front of her.

[HK-36]

The droid looked at [member="Jessica Med-Beq"] at her words,

"With all due respect, lady, I am the one made of Phrik and you of soft flesh, you should be the one to keep calm. Only thing to make me panic are Jawas and talking bird-men with knives."

And just as it happened it was then that he noticed [member="Tai Fa"] could speak, the bird's voice picked up on droid's audioreceptors, the machine looked towards him and saw a large metal blade in his wing-hands,

Alright, I am out of here,

The droid calculated to himself at the sight. Just then a stray tentacle whipped by, aiming for @Summer Sovereing, seemingly pushed back by some manipulation of the Force, the machine's scanners recognized somatic gesture of it coming from [member="Kianna Auli'i"], he motioned for Jessica to move towards her,

"Go with them, they will keep you safe."

Just in case the machine motioned for a few security guards in the area to move away from the toilets and towards the group to give another layer of protection.

Little did droid knew of [member="Ajira Cardei"] suspicion towards Jessica, perhaps he didn't heard the whisper even with his sensitive hearing as he was focused on the space-peacock at the time, or probably he just didn't care, corporate politics were ruthless and take-overs like that happened all the time, in the machine's view the injustice of it was minuscule when compared to other threats like the Vong, Sith, or birds with knives.

"I will go try and talk to whoever is doing this."

The droid announced as he reached down to pick up the hem of his dress, raising it above his knees so he could move easier towards the bathroom. It seems that the machine was recently started to try a different tactic rather than just charging into combat or bombing something from orbit, maybe he could de-escalate the situation so the ceremonies could proceed, or he might make a new friend! Anyway, while he was making his way towards the restroom [member="Lady Shambleau"] occupied, he sent out a silent message towards his contact in the planet's orbit,

Bring me my armor, things are going to chit down here.

Soon enough he received an instant message in response,

Phrik, power armor, or goop?

The machine calculated for a second before replying,

Goop me.

You realize it will take a while to put it on.

The threat is holed up, I will try to negotiate, we have time.


Soon enough he came up to [member="Michael Shado"], [member="Jezza Shado"], [member="Cerasi Kent"], and [member="Herr Vanderhing"] position,

"Let me pass, I will try to speak to it."

HK spoke as he moved through the security line, pushing his way if he had to, the machine was determined to put an end to this peacefully, still holding onto his pretty dress.

 

[Cerasi Kent]

Well, that was a happy day ruined. Cerasi stood up, moving over to the door. "Please everyone!" She announced to the crowd of panicked, screaming people. "Please stay calm and exit in an orderly fashion!" Guests began to move out the door. Some followed instructions, but others did not. Cerasi sighed, watching them jostle each other, move to the door in a huge mass. "Stay calm." She announced once again, but some people would never change their 'me before you' mindset. "Please don't shove. We'll all make it out of here okay if we stay calm." Cerasi felt like she was directing younglings. Then HK pushed passed her, intent to try taking the peaceful, talk-it-out route. Cerasi rolled her eyes. She bet all her credits that talking wouldn't work. But still, she let the droid by. "Michael, Jezza, the guests have been secured."

The tentacle hadn't been meant to actually snag Her Majesty, just stir the pot a little. Shapeshifter though she was, Shambleau couldn't quite reach that far, not from the vicinity of the loo. The Force push even helped. She snapped back into the restroom at once, keeping cover from the gathering security forces. By the time their cordon tightened, she'd torn off a stall door and use it to wedge the actual bathroom door shut. That, and a half-eaten guest.

She mustered her lungs and roared through the bathroom door. A crack revealed an HK unit in a bridesmaid's dress coming her way. At the far side of the hall, she glimpsed Ajira talking with the Queen.

She roared again. It seemed the thing to do.

 

[Jessica Med-Beq]

Jessica had to remain calm while the guests were being secured, especially after being reminded by HK-36 that it was made of phrik, whereas she only had her soft flesh and rather limited power with the Force. Plus she had a feeling of anger when she felt suspicions from some of the guests, suggesting that she was getting married mostly for corporate reasons. That wasn't the sort of thing you would have expected from a Jedi... from a dark-sider perhaps but not Jessica. As a lover for [member="Summer Sovereign"] she has been nothing but a good lover: affectionate, ready to give the proper amount of attention. For security purposes she was to be regarded the same as an ordinary guest in this situation. As she sees [member="HK-36"] moving to try talking to whatever the threat is, one that grabbed Summer, she has her main Force-battery standing by, even though what she called a Force-battery, that is, her Force-power, did not have much, if any, firepower.

"Just exactly what is that threat?"

[Michael Shado]

[member="HK-36"] [member="Jezza Shado"] [member="Cerasi Kent"] [member="Summer Sovereign"] @Everyeone else

His eyes widened as he watched a tentacle grab their employer, only to he relieved as the droid came in to try, and talk to the thing, whatever it was. It was a little odd, the droid was in a dress, and it looked like an HK unit, an assassin droid. Michael knew well enough this thing was an ancient power house. As the rest of the clan moved the guests away, escorting them out, Michael had the rest of the clan help as well.

"I don't think it wants to talk..."

The thing roared through the door of the bathroom it was now held up in. Was there any escape routes in that room? Did he need to get them covered?

[member="Lady Shambleau"] was trapped, assuming that there were none.

"But if you insist, go for it, I got you covered...by the way, nice dress. Fits your figure."

Michael joked.

Ooc/ seems like the wedding party split off to its own thread.
Ic/

Trapped for a humanoid and trapped for a tentacle monster weren't the same thing at all.

There came a noise of profound flushing, and the monster was gone as suddenly as it arrived.

 

[HK-36]

[member="Lady Shambleau"], [member="Michael Shado"], [member="Cerasi Kent"],

Before the Flushening Shambleau would see a glowing crimson photoreceptor peek in through the crack between the bathroom door and the frame,

"Hey, sweet-pea, what is your name?"

The voice of Femme-HK rang out before he looked aside, motioning for the datapad Michael used to check guest list. The droid was about to write on the pad, "Seal the vents and cut plumbing" just as he heard the sound of toilet flushing.

And then the race was on, HK took off with all the speed his Phrik body could muster, dress hiked up to his waist as he used his legs to jump from pew to pew towards the door into maintenance section,

Send me plumbing blueprints for the temple,

He sent out an instant message to his contacts on the planet,

Why do you require it?

They responded, he explained shortly,

Sewage escape

Roger-roger.

With the blueprints during his sprint the pipelines highlighted, his programming calculated which one connected to the sewage line from that restroom and highlighted it- HK jumped aside as still evacuating crowd blocked one of the exits, he used his claws and magnetic soles to climb on the side of a wall over them like an insect or a nimble gecko.

Finally he would burst into a pipe room where he calculated he had last and only chance to intercept the fleeing creature. Before him there was a large pipe marked "SEWAGE" he took his lightsaber and activated it, white blade bursting through the air as he took a swing to slice the pipe open-

And his lightsaber bounced off of the metal pipe, HK stood there watching it shake just as the sound of water, or other substance, came rushing by through the pipe and further into the sewage network. The machine calculated for a second, deactivating his lightsaber,

"Oh, that is right, I use a training lightsaber."

He realized, forgetting that his lightsaber could never cut through anything. HK shrugged, moving to turn towards the exit,

"Never mind, the turd flushed itself from the punch bowl!"

He called out to people off-screen before moving to join up with them, overlooking that he could have just cut the pipe with his built-in Phrik wrist blades.

Either way, he just wanted to get the ceremony going so he could get out of his dress and heels- he managed to find a pair of heels on his way back from the maintenance room that fit him- and move on with his life.
