Who's the Boss? (Darth Ferus)

[Tanalth]

Tanalth hated waiting. She hated a lot of other things as well. Uncooked soup. People who hisses when they laughed. Her "brother" Kezeorth; which was at the top of her list. And even the sound a gungan made when it tried to clear it's throat. All of these things upset Tanalth to the point of wanting to smash them into powder so they would not bother her again. But waiting wasn't something you could exactly touch. It was the fact she hated needing to find something to do in the meantime that always put a damper on her spirits. And given that she'd been waiting only five minutes, way too long by her account, she was half ready to break the side of a wall if it eant at least something happened. ​

​

Tanalth had been chosen by the Obsidian Order, and by extension the Techno Union, to undertake a special mission with one of their sith allies. This [member="Darth Ferus"] she was to accompany was off to try and find some ancient weapon of sorts and felt the need for "strong hands" given where they were going. Tanalth had only agreed for her own reasons, and the fact the Union agreed to continue "paying for her things" if she did. But of course the idea of having a weapon that might help her take revenge on Kezeroth was always a bonus. So for now she'd have to make due.​

​

That didn't make the part about waiting any easier. As she leaned against the all outside the Citadel she kept sighing and tapping her feet while her arms were crossed like an impatient child. Only five minutes to her felt like an hour. She was ready to smack around this Darth Ferus person for being so late. As she waited she continued into her usual rude behavior, like scratching herself in inappropriate places and not caring who saw. Cleaning her teeth. And even picking her nose or ears before flicking away whatever she found.​

​

Ever the delightful type...​

 

[Darth Ferus]

When ones job is to kill someone without being found first, patience is one of the first values found. As such, who ever the Obsidians sent with him on this task would have to prove themselves capable of such a virtue. Showing up late as ever, the Sith lord approached [member="Tanalth"] with a very lax demeanor. Both hands slipped behind his head, dressed in a casual outfit with only his lightsaber on his waist and the hidden blade strapped to his wrist.

As he came close, golden eyes fixed upon the red woman, and a single hand was raised from behind his head as he waved for the girl. "Yo."

 

[Tanalth]

Tanalth had been cleaning her ear when [member="Darth Ferus"] approached. She looked at him in such an unassuming manner before turning away, still cleaning her ear. She was busying herself before realizing that he was still standing there. She gave a little huff and added "Take a picture if you want to look for that long. Make it quick though, I'm waiting for someone." ​

 

[Darth Ferus]

"If you're waiting for a Sith Lord, than that would be me." What ever amusement Ferus had quickly faded. A now annoyed look formed as he walked towards her. "Humility it seems is something the Obsidians do not teach anymore. I wonder what else they've changed." His tone was sour, but he kept somewhat professional. Pale hands fell to his sides as golden eyes glanced about. "So, do you know the mission?"

 

[Tanalth]

She looked back when he confirmed himself as a Sith lord. She leaned inc lose as she towered over him, trying to have a better look. She gave a little chuckle before saying "Cmon. You're a Sith lord? Really? No way. They're supposed to be...scary...ish. And you're just so short and....pale looking." She held back what seemed like more giggling as she heard him ask about the mission. "I know I'm supposed to help whoever's coming find some fancy old-fashioned lightsaber. But you? I don't know. I think I pick things out of my teeth bigger than you." ​

​

[member="Darth Ferus"]​

 

[Darth Ferus]

An annoyed gaze fell upon the giant as she leaned over him. He made no move of leaning back, no hint of fear or hesitation. Just overwhelming annoyance, and a hint of disappointment. "And it seems they lost any form of respect for their betters." An overwhelming presence of the Force flowed from the Sith Lord, and [member="Tanalth"] would find herself faced by a needlessly strong blast of the Force pulsing outwards from his form. The whole reason, to send her back, preferably flying.

"Do I need to teach such a lesson?"

 

[Tanalth]

Tanalth had given a little yelp of surprise before finding herself flying back. She crashed against a wall, breaking it and cracking it a little, before falling to her backside against the wall. She shook it off and looked at him when he seemed ready to fight her, she standing and looking ready to return the favor. The Gen'dai clone huffed a little before breaking into a laugh. She didn't seem that phased about the knock back by the force or his tone. Apparently it was just a big game to her.​

​

She held her arms up and said "Fine, fine. I believe you now." She cracked her neck a little, rubbing it, before adding "You know you could have just said so." still in a somewhat jovial tone. After that she asked "So you're the [member="Darth Ferus"] guy I was supposed to meet. I guess that means you're ready to head out and find this fancy looking lazer sowrd of yours?"​

 

[Darth Ferus]

"Aye, it does. The tomb's here on this planet, though on the other side. You have a ship?" His golden eyes flicked over her form once before back towards the temple itself. It was just a couple weeks ago he was here, and it was nice to see they were repairing the hole he created. "I'd rather not walk, and I'm sure you feel the same." Once again his eyes snapped to his form, though this time he studied her. She didn't seem like any species he'd seen before.

"What are you?"

 

[Tanalth]

"I got a rental." she answered, pointing at the small shuttle parked nearby. She gestured for him to go on ahead, since it was clear he was acting as the one in charge, and WAS. As she followed him inside she answered his second question with "What do I look like?" She smirked before answering fully "I'm Gen'Dai. Well sort of. Well not sort of. Well....in a way. It's complicated." She didn't go any further then that before they entered the cockpit. She allowed [member="Darth Ferus"] to punch in the needed coordinates before letting the ship basically fly itself. As it took off she leaned back in her seat and relaxed the entire trip. ​

 

[Darth Ferus]

"Complicated.. Alright." He too would drop it as he climbed in after [member="Tanalth"] to her ship.. A rental wasn't the most ideal, but they weren't going too far. A single hand reached out to punch in the co-ordinates, and just like the Gen'Dai he leaned back in his seat, folding his arms over his chest. A Gen'dai, but only sort of? The concept was one the Sith thought about as they flew, but he wouldn't say anything about it.

Or about anything, unless she decided to chat him up.

 

[Tanalth]

As they continued to fly onward Tanalth often glanced at [member="Darth Ferus"] , noting how quite he was. Of course, being as she was, she found it all boring. And rather than talk about a whole lot of nothing she decided it better to just listen about anything. A quick little kick of her boot against the console and the radio went on. Simple music to keep her amused as they kept flying to wherever this special prize was. Tanalth only smiled at her own thoughts as she sat back and awaited arrival. ​

 

[Darth Ferus]

Rock, as it were, was something Ferus actually enjoyed. Slowly his head bobbed along to [member="Tanalth"] 's music, a smile on his lips as he just enjoyed the sounds. His mind would oddly clear as they got closer, until the feeling of something dark became clear. Golden eyes flashed towards the red woman, raising a brow. "I assume you feel that dark presence? We must be close."

 

[Tanalth]

By the time he looked to her Tanalth's eyes opened and her expression became a little more serious. As he asked if she felt it, mentioning also how they were close, she mumbled to herself "Yeah...we must be." Even the ship's indicator was altering them to their present course. They were close now. Tanalth sat up from her seat and punched in the commands to land before allowing the shuttle to do the rest. She stood and said "Suit up. No telling what surprises they left for us." Her tone had indicated an almost sense of enjoyment of what would come. ​

​

[member="Darth Ferus"]​

 

[Darth Ferus]

Suit up? That was a new one to Ferus. Or, perhaps, a memory of a time long ago. He did not suit up anymore, for he always had what he needed on him. A bemused smile would form as he nodded to [member="Tanalth"] , prepared to exit the ship. "As a Sith Tomb, it will be filled with his servants, pets, droids, and traps. Our goal is to get to the end of the tomb to find his personal chamber, where his weapon would most likely exist. Are you prepared?"

 

[Tanalth]

Tanalth returned with all she needed. A few guns strapped to her belt along with what looked like a makeshift machete from a broken-off piece of metal. As [member="Darth Ferus"] told about what they would be up against she only smirked with all the more delight at the idea of taking on anything and everything they would meet. The ship had finally landed by the time he asked if she was ready. "Oh F*** the hell yes I am." she said confidently before walking out with him behind. ​

 

[Darth Ferus]

"Good." There was a smile on his lips as he felt the darkness. [member="Tanalth"] clearly felt it too, but this darkness.. It was like a warm bath, a comfort. Slowly the smile widened as he stepped off the ship, and faced the tomb. It was half buried, but it was clearly a Sith ruin by the markings along it. Slowly Ferus would walk to it, both arms spread wide as he looked over the gate. "This! This is the sort of place I just -love-! Like a candy store for little children, but filled with danger, and much, much better toys. Shall we go in?"

Golden eyes once more turned to the giant woman, wide with enthusiasm, and a lust for danger.

 

[Tanalth]

Seeing the ruins itself Tanalth wasn't as impressed as [member="Darth Ferus"] was. If anything it looked like crap, but then again it WAS old. She shrugged at the fact the Sith seemed to expound upon seeing the remains of the old temple but Tanalth just saw it as a bunch of rocks and sand. As he walked off towards it she followed while saying to herself "Sheesh. And people say I'm crazy." while keeping her weapons in hand. ​

 

[Darth Ferus]

"No no! You see, this place is amazing! Can't you just feel the power radiating off of it, and we get to be the first to go in after such a long time of being buried! The beasts in there are starving, and we will have to fight them. The Droids have itchy trigger fingers, and we get to dismantle them! This is a dream!" Clearly enthused, the Sith would push past [member="Tanalth"] to the gate, and with both hands out he would grip the doors through the Force. With what seemed like minimal effort, he would swing his arms to the side and send the door crashing open, showing nothing but darkness from within.

"Shall we go in?"

 

[Tanalth]

Despite his ever growing enthusiasm Tanalth only shrugged again. She did comment, during the middle of his ramble "I feel something alright." before scratching her...private region. She nudged when he pushed past her wanting to go in, following behind. As they came to the entrance she pulled out one of the larger blaster rifles and said "Alright, but I'm going in first. I can take more hits and, honestly, I think you're enjoying yourself too much." She glanced down at his own 'private regions' before giving him a confused look. From there she turned and primed the rifle before heading inside with [member="Darth Ferus"] . ​

 

[Darth Ferus]

"Of course I am, there are secrets to learn!" Despite his want to simply rush in, he knew the traps that would await them, and he was a little more than okay with the seemingly immortal [member="Tanalth"] taking the lead. Or at least, that's how he viewed their species. His palm ran over the hilt of his saber, but he made no move to draw it, yet. There was no danger at the entrance.

Or so it seemed.

"Lead on!"
