Black Tie/White Hot [D5 LE, Wild Ride... in motion]

[Sylvain Torsin]

“You must take me for an incredibly naive man to offer something with so little explanation.” He said with a smile as he took the spike discretely.

“You must take me for an incredibly naive man to offer something with so little explanation.” He said with a smile as he took the spike discretely.

“More desperate than naïve, your world is facing a purge something that seems anathema to your track record, not saying you would not do it but you would try to avoid it. This can help you do that,” she said slipping the thin card back into her dress.

“We are not a consulting firm, transparency is not our goal.”

OOC: Perception or Education at hard, flipping a Destiny to upgrade the difficulty.

He was rather certain he recognized the smell, it was something he'd encountered before. Really what could it be though?

“I was more interested in the conversation you started yesterday to be honest. Wasn’t looking for a chance to sell out the Empire for my own personal gain.” He shrugged.

“If you need something done, explaining the ‘what’, ‘how’ and ‘why’ goes a long way in getting that started.”

[Dapper Dog]

“You act as if the Empire has not been sold out. A strong Empire is our goal,” she replied.

“That conversation was a starting point, like we told you, you have all the information you need to get started. You just have to put the pieces together.”

The compound is lethal if consumed, a rather discrete toxin that has a high chance of mortality in the drink the other three men were gleefully drinking as they watched the dancer.

[Shelzais Sek]

"Shel," Shaisha said with a smile as she approached the hostess, casually picking up a drink from the serving droid along the way. A good way to blend in at a party was to hold a drink after all.

"How are you tonight, my favorite host?"

"Not so bad, Shaisha darling, not bad, all in all." Shelzy's cigarra left a trail of smoke as she shrugged languidly. "Some of this crowd are a little more... corporate," she glanced in the direction of the VIP area and the business-suited beings therein, "than my usual, but any night I can persuade dear Leeba over there to play at my place is a good one."

She took another drag, setting a faint puff of purple smoke free from her lips with her next question. "And you, darling? Not blasted with lightning or stabbed in the kidneys yet, I see."

[Shelzais Sek]

Elsewhere at the entrance a transport lets out a few armored mercenaries led by one in dark armor. They meandered through the party without a distinct destination in mind.

As Shel chatted to Shaisha and Remmington, she tried to keep one eye on this lot. They were even less her usual type than the suits.

[Lord Tenebrous]

"Mm," she glanced in that direction too. Sylvain? This didn't seem like his scene, at all.

"As you see, I'm still holding up. You know me, I only get myself hurt when its a thrilling fight, or for fun. Rarey for others' entertainment." It was clear she meant what happened yesterday.

The compound is lethal if consumed, a rather discrete toxin that has a high chance of mortality in the drink the other three men were gleefully drinking as they watched the dancer.

Well, that was rather rude. Though not totally unexpected, he probably should of brought along some sort of antidote.

Setting the drink to the side, he shifted his gaze towards the other men at the table? Was there time to do something to save them? It was unlikely but he had to wonder. "Hows the drinks?" He asked, more as a way to make conversation then anything.

One of the men chuckled and said, “Strong… but tasty, what’s the matter not much of a drinker?”

Meanwhile the armored soldiers seem to be speaking with a group of people in a casual, one seeing they are being watched if even subtly turned their attention her way. She can see reflections in the armored face, it obscures any sense of emotion behind the mirrored finish helmet.

[Shelzais Sek]

"Huh." Shelzais clucked softly to herself. "What serious... faces. B9, be a sweetie and go see they get something to drink." She nudged the Clever Girl's astromech-slash-cocktail-waiter droid with the toe of one silver stiletto shoe.



B9-D4 bleeped and trundled off toward the masked figures... perhaps a little reluctantly.

[Lord Tenebrous]

Shaisha didn't turn to follow Shel's gaze, but she knew the woman was looking at something. If she turned her head to see, it would just look more suspicious.

"Something up?" she asked in a quiet tone behind a raised glass.

"Oh, it's a bit early for me to drink something so strong, I've yet to have dinner afterall." He pursed his lips thoughtfully.

"I know it might seem a bit prying, but could I ask what brought you gentlemen here this evening?" Was it for the same reason? Or?

Medicine at average. Is there anything to be done?: 1eP+4eA+2eD 2 successes, 2 advantage

[Dapper Dog]

"Well if you are here," he said coughing lightly, "You got the same offer too?"

OOC: With a fast enough emergency response or a quick way to purge their system they could be saved from a painful if quick death but he would have to act fast or not. With his knowledge he knows of some quick ways to do it using materials on hand at the bar or a maneuver to forcefully expel the contents of their stomach would work.

[Alister Dravvad]

That was a bad sign, and it also meant he had little time to act. "That I do." He rose to his feet. "Now you three should quickly follow me to the bar. Don't make a fuss about it either. I'll tell you why after we get there."

"I'd be quick about it to, in this business you need to know when to act fast." With that he started to stride towards the bar, not concerned if they followed him or not. He'd mix up a antidote when he got there regardless.

[Remmington Thalalas]

Remmington nods. "That sounds good. I guess I'll go put my hat away." When Lord Tenebrous shows up he offers her a polite bow. "Good evening Lord Tenebrous. Good to see you again. Congratulations on your promotion."

When the ladies notice something going on. He takes out his datapad to look at something. Mainly what may be reflected from its surface before he puts it away again.

"Something up?" she asked in a quiet tone behind a raised glass.

"Oh, I'm sure it's nothing, darling. Just some other guests who've kept their hats on indoors, unlike Mr. T... Remmington here." She smiled at the two of them. She must have been more drunk than she... oh, who was she kidding, she was definitely too drunk the first time she met Remmington to remember how to pronounce his last name. If she tried now she was definitely going to get the number of la syllables wrong, and it would just be embarrassing for everyone.

"As long as we're all having fun, it's no matter, really!" she finished, beaming.

[Remmington Thalalas]

"Well that is pretty rude. Unfortunately, sometimes you cannot help it when people show up and bring down the party." Remmington comments. "Please excuse me for a moment while I put away my hat."

He heads over to the hat check. He sighs a bit. At least this time the party crashers didn't explode onto the scene. He quietly checks his stuff.

[Jaheem Abasi]

Another social event another necessity. Jaheem arrived in finery much like other parties and grabbed a drink. He posted up while the commotion happened and observed everything. But for now he kept to himself a bit.
