[D2 MM] Don't Zash My Dreams!

[Sinea Okatesh]

Sina set everything up, ready to receive her guest, one Darth Zash, the blonde academic of some fame. Sinea was currently standing on the balcony of her apartment, clad only in a light black robe, enjoying the power of her amulet. The weather felt like the warm autumn night on Dromund Kaas, despite the vicious blizzard outside.

[Dapper Dog]

Darth Zash arrived fashionably late. She wore a more casual affair with shades and said, "I usually don't make appointment before noon, count yourself lucky."

[Sinea Okatesh]

"I am certain it is past noon on some planet, Darth Zash. Please.." she gestured towards a tray of stuff: wine from Yavin (latest trend, though the Force knows why), fresh fruit from Dromund Kaas (minus time in cooler), local fish from Varas Point.

"May I offer some refreshments before we proceed?"

OOC: Can I commit Force to Sense to read surface thoughts?

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Force + Discipline the difficulty is 4 red and a purple with a setback.

[Sinea Okatesh]

OOC:D2 MM Sense reading Zash mind: 1eA+2eP+3eF+4eC+1eD+1eS 1 failure, 3 threat, 1 Despair, 4 Light Side, 1 Dark Side


Spending 1 destiny to convert lightside pips
2 pips for success (overall: 1 success)
3 pips for advantages (overall: 0 thread/adv)

End result: 1 success, 1 despair

[Dapper Dog]

She senses fear and frsutration and then Zash narrowed her eyes and said, "You must be a very foolish woman to think I would not notice you trying to read me."

[Sinea Okatesh]

Sinea smiled apologetically. "It's a habit I have been picking up. Usually means interactions are much easier, but of course, I was foolish to attempt with such a powerful woman." She bowed in apology. "I am a poor host so far, Darth Zash."

[Dapper Dog]

She regained her composure, “Bold at least, what are you trying to see that you would dare to incur my wrath, Sinea?”

[Sinea Okatesh]

Sinea smiled as she poured some wine for the Darth. "I also have some Corellian brandy here, if you'd prefer that, Darth Zash." She sat back slowly, smoothing her dress. "I do not know. Darth Arya told me to send you a message, perhaps you wish to send her one as well, of a different kind. We are Sith, and it is a tense time. One can never be sure of what comes next."

[Dapper Dog]

“You make a poor assassin, then,” she countered taking a drink.

[Sinea Okatesh]

Sinea smiled. "Well yes, I am here for a different kind of message." Her smile widened. "Darth Arya asked me to convey an apology and acknowledgment. She has seen her folly, and acknowledges that your point was superior, and is reaching out, through me, in hopes of a tentative agreement, to work together with you, like in the old times.

[Dapper Dog]

"You must be joking, that witch never admits she is wrong," she responded. She put the glass down and mulled it over and added, "An alliance might be possible but... as equals. Surely he can agree to that."

[Sinea Okatesh]

Sinea smirked. The bombshell has dropped. She poured some of that brandy and offered to Zash.

"I found Darth Arya responds well to quality and success, so it is quite understandable that she reached out to you." She sat down. "Yes. She wishes you to join with her in her work in furthering your understanding of the Dark side."

[Dapper Dog]

"I will consider this request," she responded. "Has she any other other commands of you?"

[Sinea Okatesh]

"Be diligent, be dutiful." She replied with a smirk. "Though I hope your lady does not wait for long. Ziost is amok with explosive situations, and I assure you, both Darth Arya and myself would be much calmer if we were know you're support and expertise is with us."

[Dapper Dog]

"I need time to consider this request, she said unmoved.

[Sinea Okatesh]

"I need time to consider this request, she said unmoved.

"Thank you Darth Zash. We will be expecting your answer." She smiled, and drank a sip from her own glass, and eyed the refreshments gathered before her. "How's your research coming along Darth Zash, if I may ask? Any fruitful leads?"

[Dapper Dog]

“It could be progressing better but that is simply because I am rarely satisfied with anything. My work has taken a turn recently so much of what I had been doing is no longer of interest to me,” she responded.

“And you?”

[Sinea Okatesh]

"Oh? A new direction? Certainly sounds interesting." Sinea shrugged. "I have been looking through for children with talent lately, not as much dealing with the deeper mysteries of the Force. It is time I dwell on it more, though, I feel."

[Dapper Dog]

"Get yourself an apprentice," she said smiling.
