[Day 4 - LE through EN] Aurum Dawn Art Gala RP Thread

[Jun-Tsu Farro]

“It is Ziost, my dear Lady Farro, here it is customary to be where the people are and be seen no matter the occasion. It is the grand game as my uncle names it, to be seen, to influence, and control,” he said with boredom.

“If I am to be worthy of his favor, I must be here.”

She sipped at her drink with an understanding nod, allowing her eyes to scan casually over the gathering, "Hawe you a commizzioned vork? It zeemz zhe zheme of zhe night. Patronizing zhe artz in all vazhionz. In truzh, zough, I vish I had know of zhiz zooner, I vould hawe commizzioned a sculpture. Zhere iz zomething var more povervul about a phyzial zhing, reziding vith zhe viewer, in itz zpace, razher than zhe more evphemeral nature of illuztration und painting."

[Lord Bellious]

Her artwork presented, Lord Bellious joined the side of the critique to watch further presentations. The hatred had not abated in her.

[Jaheem Abasi]

Jaheem also stayed around after his presentation his anger and hatred also barely contained as he grabbed a drink and stood by a wall to observe the proceedings. His dark mood was likely fairly obvious.

[Lord Tenebrous]

Seeing the familiar inquisitor, Shaisha moved over to Jaheem, a glass in a gloved hand. However, there was a somberness to her tone as she spoke in an almost hushed voice.

"My condolances, Lord Abasi."

[Dapper Dog]

“I would not wish to challenge my honored Uncle, but what I lack in artistic skills I more than make up for with my ability to cook. It is a passion, perhaps I can make you breakfast sometime,” he offered.

[Jaheem Abasi]

Seeing the familiar inquisitor, Shaisha moved over to Jaheem, a glass in a gloved hand. However, there was a somberness to her tone as she spoke in an almost hushed voice.

"My condolances, Lord Abasi."

He took a drink still looking out to the gathered crowds "She knew something like this was possible when she encouraged me to become an aspirant." His voice was matter of fact but he let out a long sigh and looked to Shaisha he didnt smile but his expression softened slightly "but thank you."

[Mahr]

That question made her smile with amusement and she said, “Darth Tayana.”

She was used to being recognized long before she had to introduce herself so it was refreshing if quaint to meet a clueless primitive,. At least he was polite and seems well intentioned and better company than most Sith she had the pleasure of calling friend.

“What has brought you here from the Yavin system?” she asked.

Mahr greeted this Darth with a thump of his chest "WELL MET DARTH TAYANA. MAHR IS HERE ON BEHALF OF THE QUEEN. MAHR IS TO SUPPORT AGAINST HER ENEMIES"

[Jun-Tsu Farro]

“I would not wish to challenge my honored Uncle, but what I lack in artistic skills I more than make up for with my ability to cook. It is a passion, perhaps I can make you breakfast sometime,” he offered.

There was a predatory smile, that Jun-Tsu kept mostly restrained.

You poor boy. Did your uncle put you up to this? She thought to herself with only mild derision.

"I vould newer refuze zhe inwitation to dine vith zhe vamily of v'one of zhe Dark Councilorz. It vould be mein honor. I conwezz, zhough, zhat I hawe been adjuzting to zhe time here in Ziozt vrom vhere I vas on mein homevorld. I hawe been up qvite late, and rarely rizing bevore vhat you vould conzider mid-day. Perhapz a brunch, of zortz vould be pozzible? Iv I may be zo demanding upon your generozity."

[Lord Tenebrous]

He took a drink still looking out to the gathered crowds "She knew something like this was possible when she encouraged me to become an aspirant." His voice was matter of fact but he let out a long sigh and looked to Shaisha he didnt smile but his expression softened slightly "but thank you."

"Such is the life of Sith," she agreed softly. "Though it doesn't mean the loss isn't heartfelt - we're not like the Jedi who lock away their emotions, refusing to embrace both the good and the bad spectrum of feelings."

A quick exhale through her nostrils as she looked at more of the art around them. "Pointless losses... all of it."

[Dapper Dog]

"Brunch is acceptable," he said warmly.

"I would be honored for you join us, and I am sure my uncle would as well."

[Jaheem Abasi]

"Such is the life of Sith," she agreed softly. "Though it doesn't mean the loss isn't heartfelt - we're not like the Jedi who lock away their emotions, refusing to embrace both the good and the bad spectrum of feelings."

A quick exhale through her nostrils as she looked at more of the art around them. "Pointless losses... all of it."

Jaheem nodded "Indeed it was. She was a powerful seer, she had much to contribute to the empire. Her loss will certainly be felt." Briefly there was a moment of doubt flickering across his face but he shook his head a little as if thinking better of it.

Another long drink was had finishing a drink and another was picked up "I feel these emotions but I strive to not let them control me. I will hold them and when the time is right I will use them to give me power."

[Darth Tayana]

Mahr greeted this Darth with a thump of his chest "WELL MET DARTH TAYANA. MAHR IS HERE ON BEHALF OF THE QUEEN. MAHR IS TO SUPPORT AGAINST HER ENEMIES"

"Oh Mahr, call me Tayana, walk with me and give me your critical opinion on these pieces of art," she said hooking her arm with his.

She was far smaller than him.

[Lord Tenebrous]

Jaheem nodded "Indeed it was. She was a powerful seer, she had much to contribute to the empire. Her loss will certainly be felt." Briefly there was a moment of doubt flickering across his face but he shook his head a little as if thinking better of it.

Another long drink was had finishing a drink and a mother was picked up "I feel these emotions but I strive to not let them control me. I will hold them and when the time is right I will use them to give me power."

Shaisha nodded approvingly. It was how she had gained strength through the years as well as she had nurtured her close bond to the Dark Side.

"Your artwork though... care to explain it to me?" she changed the subject after some silence, so to avoid forcing Jaheem to dwell on his loss.

[Jun-Tsu Farro]

"Brunch is acceptable," he said warmly.

"I would be honored for you join us, and I am sure my uncle would as well."

"It vould be too much to hope, mein lord," she paused to correct herself, "Varn. My apologies. But ewen vithout hiz prezence, it would be a pleazure. Tomorrow? You hawe zhe pulze of zociety more to know vhether zhere iz zome grand engagement zet zhat might intervere."

[Dapper Dog]

"Tomorrow then," he said politely.

He added in Korriz with a devious smile, "May the the dark Queen embrace you and may she make you strong, mein Lady Farro."

He departed, languidly to observe another beautiful art piece.

[Jaheem Abasi]

Shaisha nodded approvingly. It was how she had gained strength through the years as well as she had nurtured her close bond to the Dark Side.

"Your artwork though... care to explain it to me?" she changed the subject after some silence, so to avoid forcing Jaheem to dwell on his loss.

His expression didnt lighten and turned a bit more angry "I did my best to find a great artist to make a progressive and forward thinking piece that properly criticized the archaic xenophobia of the current council." He paused "I certainly did not get what I had paid for nor what I desired. It was much less skillfully done than I would have liked. Though I will grudgingly admit that they did manage to put forth a somewhat thoughtful image."

[Lord Tenebrous]

"Mm," she nodded thoughtfully as he spoke, clearly interested in what the idea had been.

"A shame the result was not what you had hoped for. It would've been a riveting scene had it achieved your desire. And what will you do with the artist now, that they failed you?"

[Jaheem Abasi]

"I thought about killing him but I figured he could still be of some use someday. I shattered his hands and directed him toward an imperial labor camp once his hands are healed. I figured why waste a healthy body so long as he learned his lesson."

[Lord Tenebrous]

"Fair enough," she mused, taking a sip of her bubbly drink.

"It is... interesting to see how things fluctuate these days. The other day you and I disagreed in court, and today we agreed. The galaxy is a funny place," Shaisha smirked.

[Mahr]

"Oh Mahr, call me Tayana, walk with me and give me your critical opinion on these pieces of art," she said hooking her arm with his.

She was far smaller than him.

The situation was almost comical as the tall massassi was forced to tilt on one side too keep the arms properly hooked...that would not do.

It was more practical to pick her up and let her sit on his forearm.

''OKAY, WHERE WE GO FIRST?''
