Alderaan - Love and Intrigue

"Agreed." He takes his hand. "I assume you want the investigation done before suitor is chosen?"

Mark nods. "I doubt that is the case too. But I had to ask." He offers his hard to the Rist. "So, I will find everything I can regarding Thul's possible Imperial ties, and I will be paid according to the amount of evidence I find. Is that the deal?"

"And if I find evidence that proves they are not tied to the Empire?" Mark honestly, would be surprised if that was the case. But he wanted to know if the job was to find the truth, or what Omandri wanted to be true.

Mark considers for a minute. "Dealing with Sith is going to cost extra."

Straight to the point. Mark liked that. "I have no hatred for my former employer, but no love either. It was a job and it was time to move on."

Mark and Barris followed the guide dog. Barris had her lightsaber hidden. There was unlikely to be a problem, but unlikely still meant a possibility. Mark waited until they got closer. "Hello, Mark Fallenstar here. This is my partner, Barris Kaazr."

Looking for a team if anyone has room available.

Mark was not a poet, but if some money could be made? Well, why not give a try? It did not go well. What would a good poem be about? It should be original, right? ............... Shit. Time is running out. There's a bucket. That's do. A poem. About a bucket. Well, fuck it. And with that, the inspira...

The pilot comment got Barris's interest. Though Mark responds first, "No. I respect those that do serve, but I never had any interest in it myself. I'm bad with a gun and can barely pilot a ship. Actually, that's Barrie's specialty. My talents would do little good in the army, since I can always wor...

Mark and Barris both hit the Like button. Mark thinks this Jedi might not be so bad. Barris because she still supports the Jedi even thought she left.

"Thank you. Bankor? You a soldier?"

Barris blinked. He obviously was stronger than her. He probably would be Jedi Knight level had he been trained. She started to say something when Mark interrupted. "Barrie, stop. We are under the light of the beautiful day during a festival of love. No reason to dwell on the painful past. No reason ...

Barris emotions were loss, regret, and self-loathing. An organization she belonged to. She missed them. He fault. Not good enough. Corpses. When Mark calmed her down, those feelings went away. Replaced with control. If Garth knew Jedi, he probably could guess this was Jedi training. Though it cracke...

"I grew up on Alderaan. I have been to this festival many times. But this is my first time in some time. I have been helping various worlds with investigations in the name of House Antilles." "Sounds int'resting, like one a them space cops off Kessell Run holovids?" Garth asked with an inquiring to...

Mark ignores Garth's seeming offence. The alternative would be trying to explain that he is teaching her how to use the Force in the same way as he has. And while the man does not appear to be a Jedi or Sith, Mark did not like to advertise his abilities. "I grew up on Alderaan. I have been to this f...

Barris slaps Mark. "I can feel the wind from your hand." "Good. You're learning." He turns to Garth. "Try it sober a few times. It should help your body learn to do it after a few too many drinks. Can't promise you you won't wake up with any bruises, but should have a few less." He flips a credit. "...

Mark pauses a moment, considering what to call it. "I suppose the best way to describe it is a sort of inner balance. Like walking on a tightrope or going through a dark room. Seeing things with getting distracted by vision." He puts the blindfold on Barris. "You see what you want to find, and let y...

"We're training." The woman spoke up. "I'm Barris. This is Mark." Mark offers his hand. "Nice to meet you." He gives a small chuckle. "Just trying to improve our other senses. It helps with the job." Barris rolls her eyes. "We're detectives." Clearly, this random man in the hedge maze isn't going to...

Eventually he runs into two blindfolded people - a human male and a mirialian woman - making there way through the hedge. The man is walking confidently, as if he knows exactly where he is going. The woman is less so. She is clearly doing her best to keep up with the man, focusing more on the sound ...

Mark should not be here. Maybe he had lied to his bosses a little too much? Maybe they thought he wasn't some scumbag? Well, even so, he should not be here. Why is everyone staring at him? He wants to run away. But there is money in this. Even when he fails to marry the princess, there is the possib...
