[Day 1 - EE] Suitor's Mixer RP Thread

[Breela Po]

"...weren't you at... brunch?"

"I was, Breela Po, Jedi Errant. And I know, feelings aside you've got a pissed off look on your face. Come grab a drink with me. You can catch me up on them, and I can maybe get something off my chest in the process."

If she's willing Breela will grab a another drink and lead the way to a quiet corner.

[Gil Corren]

She turned to him and said, “We are not disturbed, are you enjoying the Spring Festival?”

"Yes, your majesty." He replied a bit a bit of warmth to his tone, and the edge of his lips even twitched but he didn't smile. "The ground here are simply stunning, it's a pleasure to be able to spend the festivel amongst them."

[Solara Panteer]

"Yes, your majesty." He replied a bit a bit of warmth to his tone, and the edge of his lips even twitched but he didn't smile. "The ground here are simply stunning, it's a pleasure to be able to spend the festivel amongst them."

“We are elated to know that you enjoy the festivities. The pleasure is ours to entertain and fulfill the needs of the people. If we may, we have a question for you, if you permit us an indulgence,” she asked, turning her attention to Gil.

“Do you feel that the nobility are doing all they can for the people? If not why and if so, we would appreciate in what ways they fulfill their mandate to serve Alderaan and the people.”

[Zeno Thul]

"I liked her," Ziandra said with a sweet smile.

"Yeah, she's always like that," he says with a smirk. "It's a shame too. I truly did want to catch up."

[Ziandra Thul]

"Pity, perhaps another time," she responded.

[Nudimsu]

~snip~

Nudimsu looks at the comm info and stares at it for a few moments before raising his glass to her as she leaves. Well, at least she wasn't unreasonable in that regard. Much better than that Cathar bitch queen on Nar Shaddaa. He continues to look on at the party, looking for things of interest. Lots of going ons, but nothing to really speak. She pretty much read him right, though. Lots to watch over in this area, pieces moving in a game. Like one big, emotional charged game of Shah-tezh. A game he was decent at playing, but in this instance, it didn't matter to him who won or lost, really. If that Cathar wanted to willingly play the Beast in someone else's game, he couldn't even care enough to stop her. He had no interest at this moment to join in on either side, beyond what Durasay needed him to do.

Still, muscle may be a use in the coming days, as they had none who could be called on. Pulling out his datapad, he punched in the information on it and crushed the sheet of paper afterwards, tossing it in the trash before returning to his drink and to returning to watching the game unfold.

At least this was turning out to be a entertaining evening.

[Layne Hoshin]

"...weren't you at... brunch?"

"I was, Breela Po, Jedi Errant. And I know, feelings aside you've got a pissed off look on your face. Come grab a drink with me. You can catch me up on them, and I can maybe get something off my chest in the process."

If she's willing Breela will grab a another drink and lead the way to a quiet corner.

Layne raised a brow, then shrugged. "Sure, I guess?"

It wasn't like she couldn't use a drink, at least.

[Zeno Thul]

"Pity, perhaps another time," she responded.

"Quite a few people causing a embarrassment for themselves this evening," he says. "Should make for a ton of gossip."

[Breela Po]

Layne raised a brow, then shrugged. "Sure, I guess?"

It wasn't like she couldn't use a drink, at least.

Once sufficiently far enough away that she felt more comfortable to talk candidly, she sighed, "Look I'm not gonna mince words. The Jedi, the order, it pisses me off." Her tail twitches as she continues. "That whole brunch... it was case and point why I haven't always been aligned with them. Arrogance enough to assume airs and recite tired old proverbs. But at the end of the day, 'maintaining balance' to them means don't rock the boat."

She breathes and steadies herself.

"I watched a blackguard force choke a protester today..." she recounts the events she witnessed earlier.

For reference:

Crowd Scanning \ Perception: 2eP+2eD 1 success


She scanned the crowd still smirking. That protest leader... he looks like a churi. She thought back to that painting of the Ewok riding a Churi. That might as well be him. A pawn to someone else's will - and she'd bet money it wasn't house Ulgo either.

"Everything I've seen obviously says Thul/Sith machinations. And as much as I want to stick with the order, and not cause the Organa's to many problems, well. I've also never been one to let injustice sit." She sighs. "I need a friend. Or at least a voice I can trust, and while I don't know you per say. The feelings you give off in the force... well you know how it is. "

[Kellen Rist]

High Society, the battlefield of politics. Well at least he hadn't completely embarrassed himself earlier. He preferred academia. Still when the House asked for your service, you served.

Kellen easily slid through conversations with a glass or two of fine wine. There seemed be an awful lot of Jedi around for the Festival.

(OOC: Open to conversation, just throw me a PM so I don't miss it in the Epic long thread)

[Tethys Carrack]

"Life is movement," Tethys comments, reflective. "Nothing really stands still. Well spotted." She tucks her hands into her voluminous sleeves as her gaze tracks round the room. "Is it enough to act on?"

"I'm not sure." he admitted. "Usually, I wait until my target is in the right place. I don't think that would work here."

"No?" Tethys asks with a raised brow. "I imagine that depends on who your target is. And what you plan to do when you catch them." Her gaze settles on the tall armored Thul guard officer, detached from her liege lady now that the Queen and Ziandra Thul have parted ways to mingle with the crowd. "Mine may be in the right place now. I'll have to ask your pardon, Mr. Sol... unless you'd care to join me?"

[Galen Sol]

"No?" Tethys asks with a raised brow. "I imagine that depends on who your target is. And what you plan to do when you catch them." Her gaze settles on the tall armored Thul guard officer, detached from her liege lady now that the Queen and Ziandra Thul have parted ways to mingle with the crowd. "Mine may be in the right place now. I'll have to ask your pardon, Mr. Sol... unless you'd care to join me?"

"I wouldn't want to leave my dance partner so soon." he smiled. "Please, lead on."

[Omandri Rist]

High Society, the battlefield of politics. Well at least he hadn't completely embarrassed himself earlier. He preferred academia. Still when the House asked for your service, you served.

Omandri had been milling about mostly people watching but he saw what he thought might be a familiar face in the crowd and deftly maneuvered through people to his target.

From behind Kellen he spoke up "Now is that Kellen Rist I see?" He asked with a friendly tone and a smile on his lips.

[Kellen Rist]

Kellen turned to the voice, a genuine smile on his lips. "Cousin! Oh how delightful to see you Omandri." He extended a hand and assuming it was taken leaned in to clap him on the back affectionately.

"The years have treated you well. Good grief, when were we last at a party like this together?"

[Layne Hoshin]

Layne raised a brow, then shrugged. "Sure, I guess?"

The feelings you give off in the force... well you know how it is. "

She frowned, hearing about the blackguard's actions. Terrors of 'justice' indeed.

"Not all in the order are content to just sit by," she said. "Though the others aren't wrong either. The situation, I keep being told, is delicate. Can't just go and smash heads without that potentially leading to consequences none of us would like. Trust me, even if we're doing it for the right reasons, the Sith will find some way to paint *us* as the bad guys. But that doesn't mean some of us aren't paying *close* attention to them."

She cringed but agreed. "I know and we can't play by Sith rules. Which is why I'm of the opinion that we should do what Jedi are supposed to do. Dredge up corruption, politics be damned, and let the force sort the rest out. I just..." She gave up, "... I'm sick of hand wagging and playing nice." She drinks silently fuming all the while.

After a few moments she'll ask, "Ohhh, gonna fill me in on Sith bait back there." She refers to Zeno and Stupid Laugh.

"Hmm... When you say you don't know me, do you mean, as in personally... or you really don't know who I am?"

She took a gulp from her drink.

"He and I used to be in the same class, back on Korriban."

[Breela Po]

She took a gulp from her drink.

"He and I used to be in the same class, back on Korriban."

She laughs freely, "I know your reputation, and I know you were once Sith. But then I was once a follower of King Kun."

(OOC - It's enough to say you've caught me up to your conversation with them - in regards to the Blackguard. Or you can fill me in from start to finish. But that's really all Breela cares about is the here and now.)

[Ziandra Thul]

"Quite a few people causing a embarrassment for themselves this evening," he says. "Should make for a ton of gossip."

"There is always someone there to laugh when a fool oversteps their ability," she mused.

"Well, I don't know who that is. Anyway, Zeno's... well, let's say I *doubt* he's as reformed as I am. Former apprentice of Darth Zash who was supposedly going places in the Empire until he ended up here with his wife, the Duchess. Now here we are, civil instability on one of the most important planets in the Republic, and these Blackguard thugs having free reign. Do I think Zeno's solely responsible for this? No, he lacks the brains to have spent so many years masterminding a nefarious plot. But he's involved at least. He did train these blackguards, after all."
