While It All Burns (D9 EN, Wild Ride)

[Ilar'Shala]

"Ilar, my dear!" She descended on him in a swirl of slinky silks, glass in hand, her other hand reaching to clasp his affectionately. "I'm ever so glad to see you've survived... all that. I did wonder how you'd come through it." This was the truth, curiously enough. She'd probably be better off never worrying about others, but alas, it was a weakness she'd not managed to eliminate, and something about Ilar and his situation had stuck with her like a thorn.

Glass held carefully in one hand, he squeezed Shel's hand gently. "You surprised me too. I thought you'd been...corrupted by that energy wave, but then I looked again and you were right as rain."

He air kisses the hostess's cheeks. "I'm more pleased than words can say that I didn't have to put you down like a rabid dog."

[Dapper Dog]

Drascovina arrived with her diminished crew just Tiss and Viyuti and they were in a mood to get drunk and kick ass. She glared at anyone that tried to talk to her and made sure that everyone knew it was her that assisted the Emperor and destroyed Darth Malgus.

She wasn’t sure if that matched what happened but she was clever enough to not question the Imperial Truth.

The minions got the drinks while she made sure to give proper greetings to anyone that seemed important, it was a new regime and she figured not was a time to reassert her power.

Seeing Jan, Dracosvina said, “You… you look familiar? Did you provide me a gown or something? I swear we have met, but how am I to keep up with so many admirers and lessers.”


Viyuti handed her a drink and said, “Oh my Empress, is that Lord Tenebrous… she is so whizz, I hear she is dating Lord Rath.”


Tiss took a sip and laughed, “He is so fierce but I think I am totally over the young Sith, give me someone like Vengean or Ravage with all that experience.”

[Jan Melmoar]

Lucinia and Jan earned an arched brow-ridge and a warm welcome... especially Jan, mostly because Shelzais was curious about Lucinia's reaction.

Lucinia returned the warm welcome a cool nod, with perhaps the barest hint of a smile softening it. In other words, pretty much the same greeting she gave most people.

The slightly warmer welcome to Jan did make an eyebrow go up, though. "How friendly our hostess is being." Lucinia said neutrally. Careful observation might notice a playful glint in her green eyes.

Jan waves back at Shelzais and mouths a 'how's the thing?' before turning to Lucinia
"Oh yes, she and I are....friendly acquaintances. We got to know eachother last time I attended one of her parties and then I assisted her with some pest control and then later with some...Sith, control."

Jan coughs and inspects the ceiling.

Seeing Jan, Dracosvina said, “You… you look familiar? Did you provide me a gown or something? I swear we have met, but how am I to keep up with so many admirers and lessers.”

But it doesn't save her from another Malveaux ambush!

"Uh...other Lady Malveaux! Yes, we uh, worked together recently on that space project. You fly well and the explosions resulting were excellent."

[Rumun Gol]

Rumun delved into his deep thoughts and relaxed as he drinks a couple of strong shots.

This new empire was certainly and interesting development for the galaxy. Better still, was that, there was absolutely no way that his master would remain still while her power was 'taken' from her. No. Darth Hoshi was not like that, she does not conform herself with what others think or expect from her.

War was certain. And it would be a terrible war, Rumun thought. Darth Hoshi will probably unleash her full genius against this new empire. Casualties will probably be on the hundreds of millions. But still, the galaxy will move forward and death will pave the way for more experiences.

Rumun was excited.

As he was thinking all of this, he moved toward a cushion and sat there, relaxing. His massive very high quality crossguarded lightsaber was taken away from his hip and put on a table in front of him. One of his hands goes to his utility pocket and suddenly he procured two syringes which had, each one, a brightly colored liquid inside them.

Deathsticks.

The duro concentrated into the force and suddenly the two syringes began to float and rotate just above of his right hand. The yellow and red liquids created a rather interesting pattern as they floated right above of Rumun's hand.

Rumun's gaze was fixed on the 'horizon', or rather into no place or person in particular. He was just thinking and playing with the force.

[D9 - EN] Fluff Force Roll to activate force move: 2eF 4 Light Side


All the light. Used one destiny to flip two points and use that to activate force move, and another for two items. Fluff roll. This causes morality tension and -2 strain

Strain 15/17

[Lord Tenebrous]

Raela made her appearance on the party barge, dressed in a black dress that managed to be both high and low cut. She was much more relaxed than she had been the previous outing, grabbing and drink and socializing with whoever happened to be nearby.

Behind her Jaheem entered as well somewhat looming over the shorter scientist he was clad in noble finery in a cream color with gold accents that paired well with his dark skin, a blood red Cape was on his shoulders. As they entered his hand was on Raela's waist and he looked about nodding to those he knew.

"Good to see you're both alive and well after yesterday," Shaisha remarked as she moved up to the pair, smirking slightly as she took note of Jaheem's hand. "And I am thankful for your support in the court today, Lord Abasi. As always, proving yourself capable."

"Lord Ausar, I don't believe we've had the pleasure of speaking face to face before," she gave the pureblood an approving nod.

[Raela Ausar]

"Good to see you're both alive and well after yesterday," Shaisha remarked as she moved up to the pair, smirking slightly as she took note of Jaheem's hand. "And I am thankful for your support in the court today, Lord Abasi. As always, proving yourself capable."

"Lord Ausar, I don't believe we've had the pleasure of speaking face to face before," she gave the pureblood an approving nod.

"Thank you," she replied, letting out a breath at the comments about court. There was no point in commenting on it.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet properly, Lord Tenebrous. I've heard your name quite a bit since my return to the more central systems of the Empire."

[Lord Tenebrous]

"Is that so? All good things, I hope?" she smirked and took a sip from her drink. "No need to answer that, of course. Yesterday we were rivals in a race for power, but today we put that behind us. Which is a relief, as Lord Abasi has spoken well of you."

[Jaheem Abasi]

Jaheem greeted Shaisha with an additional nod, his rich baritone voice saying "I did nothing but state my opinion on plans put forth to the court. No thanks are necesarry Lord Tenebrous." He then stepped back, not necessarily physically, but conversationally and allowed the two women to speak uninterrupted.

[Raela Ausar]

"Indeed..," she replied with a nod. "Interesting things, which is the same as good in my line of work. I am pleased that the possibilities ahead will allow us to target people besides one another." She chuckled, looking over her shoulder. "I'm glad to heard that. He and I are planning to tie our family lines."

[Lord Tenebrous]

"Really?" her ridged brows went up. "Well, congratulations to you both then! How remarkable that two rivals would come together in such trying times. Really, wishing you both all the best." Shaisha smiled sincerely as it seemed like there were good things coming from this disastrous competition over chairs.

"And how do you see your futures in this dawning of a new age, with major changes coming? Surely you both have new aspirations in sight now?"

[Dayana Valthren]

"I'm no expert of course, and you are quiet right nothing about yesterday was normal. I just think the commoners expect us to be above their worries." He finished with a shrug.

Letting his eyes rest on the pair he frowned for a moment. "Miss Melmoar does enjoy her money, and shooting things. I suppose if there is anything that attracts Lady Malveaux though, it's her sense of humor. Well, that or Miss Melmoar' cut throat and opportunistic ways."

"Perhaps that expectation does not inspire admiration but rather disdain," Dayana murmured.

"Lady Malveaux never seemed to care much for material things. As for using a blaster? She barely even seems to enjoy the usage of a lightsaber. Your other points have more merit, I'd say."

[Alister Dravvad]

"Possibly, but I am sure someone out there would argue that people hate the things the fear, and as long as the masses are afraid of the nobility all is well." He took a sip of his drink. "Not that I nessacarily agree with such sentiments."

"Sometimes people find interests in new things." He gestured to Lucinia's heels. "Those don't look cheap after all, even her dress seems a bit more luxurious then usual." He pursed his lips. "And if you really wish to know, Lady Malveaux does seem a little different of late. Calmer? More subdued maybe is a good word for it?"

"Not nearly as dangerous as I recall." Alister shook hsi head. "Not that I would mention that to her."

[Dayana Valthren]

"Possibly, but I am sure someone out there would argue that people hate the things the fear, and as long as the masses are afraid of the nobility all is well." He took a sip of his drink. "Not that I nessacarily agree with such sentiments."

"Not nearly as dangerous as I recall." Alister shook hsi head. "Not that I would mention that to her."

"Certainly not a sentiment I agree with." Dayana would mention something about the Emperor's method of ruling, if she had the opportunity to.

"Perhaps. Well, I suppose it is of little real concern to me. Her fancies are only a distraction for my mind." The masked redhead then fully turned to regard Alister. "I am curious though: were you to be engaged to her, would you be accepting of these dalliances?"

[Raela Ausar]

"Really?" her ridged brows went up. "Well, congratulations to you both then! How remarkable that two rivals would come together in such trying times. Really, wishing you both all the best." Shaisha smiled sincerely as it seemed like there were good things coming from this disastrous competition over chairs.

"And how do you see your futures in this dawning of a new age, with major changes coming? Surely you both have new aspirations in sight now?"

She smiled warmly and dipped her head. "Thank you. We realized we complemented one another well."

"I was looking at getting healthcare and research into shape in the Empire. It's a bit haphazard and inefficient, I discovered during my time here," she said with a shake of her head. "I will let my fiance speak for his own plans." She looked toward Jaheem.

[Jaheem Abasi]

Jaheem's lips curved slightly at the corner as he looked to his fiance but he kept his emotions muted since they were in public. As Shaisha asked her question Jaheem shrugged a little "Well with Hurn gone the inquisition will need a leader, something to shoot for I suppose. As I said in court today the security of our Empire is still one of my greatest concerns." He said before taking a long drink.

[Dapper Dog]

“You’re taller than I expected,” she said to Jan.

“Well it was your honor to follow under my command yesterday, I mean Lord Bellious played her part but it was mostly my leadership that carried the day. So what brings you out here, looking to be seen with the elite of Ziost?”

[Jan Melmoar]

“You’re taller than I expected,” she said to Jan.

“Well it was your honor to follow under my command yesterday, I mean Lord Bellious played her part but it was mostly my leadership that carried the day. So what brings you out here, looking to be seen with the elite of Ziost?”

"Thank you, it's a very good height and I enjoy it."
There is a rather subtle smirk to Lucinia

"Truly Lady Malveaux, your commands were unforgettable and unique, I will not soon forget the leadership you demonstrated. As for my place here I'm uh....accompanying Lady Lucinia Malveaux, and of course I have a little familiarity with our wonderful host and I could hardly miss another one of her little get-togethers."

[Dapper Dog]

“The last one was okay, I am hoping for better this time around,” she mused.

[Jan Melmoar]

“The last one was okay, I am hoping for better this time around,” she mused.

"If I see someone about to be poisoned or shot I will point them out to you M'am."

[Dapper Dog]

She smiled shark-like and said, “Oh please do, a little murder could go a long way to making this a pleasant and entertaining evening.”
