Holiday Nightmare (OPEN)

[D.C.]

It was a dark cold night on Alderaan. The stars were bright and most of the civilians were sleeping. Except for two young men along with some other passengers onboard the vessel that just landed in the spaceport of Aldera.
The hatch went open with a hiss and a young Kiffar stepped out of the shuttle. He looked over his left shoulder and called out for his friend, to follow him.

It was Koran Mak who was travelling with his best friend and fellow student Adelphos, he had met in the Jedi Temple.
He stepped over to the exit of the spaceport and smiled.
"Finally..." he said. "We've arrived. Our vacation can start!" he looked over to his friend and nodded. "C'mon, Adel, let's go for a drink and then check in with some hotel or something. I am thirsty yet tired." he yawned and started to walk, assuming Adelphos would follow him.

As he walked through one of the many streets of Aldera, the capital of Alderaan, he noticed it was quite calm. He walked around a corner and walked right into the centre of the city. He saw nightclubs, cantinas, and other activities.
"Just the right place to be." he said with a smile on his face. He pointed to a hotel across the streets. "Why don't we check in at that hotel. But first, let's visit a cantina or something, to open our vacation!"

Neither Koran, nor anyone else knew that this holiday wouldn't end right...

 

[JarJar]

Once they where in the Cantina, Adelphos and Koran went to the bar and ordered two corellian ale. As they sit at the bar, drinking their Ale, They were talking about what they were going to do this vacation. But before Adelphos could think about it he saw a beautiful twi'lek girl sitting in the corner of the Cantina. As he was looking he asked:
"Do you think I’ve got a chance?"
Without waiting for an answer he stepped towards the girl and said:
"Hello my name is Adelphos, what’s yours?"
"My name is Lilie if you want to know" She said.
After she said that, there was a long silence. To break the silence he said:
"Can I offer you a drink?"
"Of course" She answered.
After that drink and another and another etc, Adelphos and Lilie where pretty drunk and started to make out. Adelphos felt something on his shoulder, he stopped making out and looked what touched him. He saw a big twi'lek guy standing before him.
"What are you doing with my girlfriend!" He yelled.
"Making out" Markus said.
Afther these words he saw a fist and then he fainted.

 

[D.C.]

Koran was too tired to even give a reaction. He drunk his ale and shook his head.
"Well I wanted to warn ya, but you just walked off to quickly..." he mumbled.
He put down his glass and walked over to his fainted friend.
"I'm sorry, dude. He's drunk..." Koran apologized and he grabbed the young Zabrak.
"Stupid fool..." he muttered while he dragged his friend back to the barcounter.

 

[Incubi Priest]

Eul and Ammbasha stood outside in the alleyway in between the cantina and another run down venue. The Gossam had made an incredible breakthrough in his shadowland laboratory on Kashyyk: the near orgasmic combination of four quintessential ingredients that were the foundation of what would be known as the greatest spice in the galaxy. Of course, the Gossam and Wookiee, and their pirate crew, had zero clue how invaluable Eul's concoction was, but they all knew it was definitely the best spice they had ever used in their lives.

A deal had just been made in the run down building, and luckily the Wookiee first mate had been there to back Eul up. It wasn't like he exactly needed it, its just people tended to take a Wookiee threat more seriously than a Gossom one. After a short potential skirmish, the transaction had been made and the two were enjoying their success. It was a wonderful business opporotunity, as the trustworthy clients would get the word out that they could acquire some top grade drug wares, therefore allowing for a return visit.

"Eul, do you think they can be trusted?" Ammbasha said in his deep growl of a voice. "After all, they are some common gang thugs, nothing to respect."

"Ah, you make a good point," Eul replied in Basic, "but while stupidy is more dangerous than ignorance, I feel they lack it in abundance. Now come on old friend, this is not a dry planet, so neither should my throat be."

The Wookiee made a growling laugh at the witty play off words as they headed into the enticing bar. Upon entry, Eul's eyes shot directly to a female Twi'lek, well a female Twi'lek and two men nearby. Luckily, one was pulled away by the other and the Gossam had his chance. Looks and charm were among the most important thing in Gossam culture, and they were ubiquitous in Eul's character. Not only strikingly beautiful for one of his race, he had enough charm to win over a xenophobe. He cast a seductive wink at the girl before heading over to the bar, his Wookiee wingman close behind. Taking a seat beside the two men, Eul smiled benignly at them.

"Wonderful night to be out on the town, eh?"

 

[D.C.]

Koran looked at the strange Gossam next to him.
"Could be worse." he replied, still a little pissed on Adelphos.
"My friend here was so stupid to get knocked out. Actually, it's kind of funny." Koran tried not to smile but couldn't help it. He glanced at the Gossam and his Wookiee friend.
"What brings you two to Aldera? Civilians perhaps? Or tourists, like us?"

 

[Incubi Priest]

Eul couldn't help but laugh some at the question. While Gossams and Wookiees were seen throughout the galaxy, seeing them together wasn't too commonplace. Ammbasha, looking forward and conversing with the bartender due to the fact that he could understand him, kept all his focus on listening to what was going on beside him rather than what the attractive human barkeep was saying. If something went down, the Wookiee would be the first to deliver a fatal blow. The beast was powerful to say the least and would never let harm befall his friend.

After his slight chuckle, Eul took a small swig of his drink and nodded.

"Tourists I'm afraid. Alderaan is such an urbane location in our beautiful galaxy that holds such an awesome amount of our existence's knowledge that not coming here often would be a disservice to the wonderful pantheon of intelligence that one can acquire from this place."

 

[D.C.]

Koran nodded and said: "Though it's not the reason why I'm here, it's absolutely true. I'm Koran, by the way."
He nodded to the Gossam and took another sip. At the same time he wondered what Adelphos was thinking and how he was doing. Right now, he wouldn't pay too much attention to his Zabrak friend, since he was still to drunk to give a good answer, or at least, that is what Koran thought.
He wanted to take yet another sip, when he found his glass being empty. He put the empty glass on the barcounter in front of him and decided not to drink any more tonight. He wanted to stay sober so he could watch over his friend and take the neccessary responsibility.

 

[Incubi Priest]

"Then pray tell my friend, what is your reason for being here?" Eul asked politely with his famous charming smile. Pulling his extravagant cloak tighter around him due to the chilly temperature in the bar, it was impossible for anyone to see the pistols or small viles of liquid spice stashed away in the secret pockets.

Ammbasha ordered another drink, but it was merely a water. However, the principles of the beverage changed when he dropped two odd looking tablets inside that fizzed and dissipated almost instantly. Eul was a genius and master of physics, biolgy, and chemistry, and was among the top scientific minds in the galaxy. While this was unknown to him due to his habit of avoiding mainstream community's gaze, it was apparent in his powerful concoctions. Although spice was his main objective, battle stims were also in his regime of inventions, and two very potent ones were in Ammbasha's glass. A speed amphetimine and a focus amphetimine would make this already deadly beast even more lethal should the two jedi (though he didn't know they were) pose any threat.

 

[D.C.]

To that, Koran replied. "Actually, we're just on vacation here. Relaxing, chilling things out. We're living a tough live and we thought a short trip to Alderaan would do us good. Why exactly are you here, if I may ask?"

 

[Incubi Priest]

"Business my friend. Well, that and," Eul leaned in closely with a sly grin, "...pleasure. It turns out that the two can be the same, if you play your cards right. So what exactly is this tough life you so freely converse about?"

Eul did this often. He liked to converse with people, probe them for information, become acquainted with various faces. It was always better to have a hundred friends than one enemy, and in the end it paid off. Not only that, Eul realized that he was a very hard indivual to forget.

 

[D.C.]

"Haha, I guess I haven't drunk enough alcohol to just go around telling anybody about it. My guess is, you wouldn't tell about your live either." he said it in a funny way, he didn't mean it too serious. He raised a thumb to the Gossam. "Actually, I don't feel like talking about school while we are on a vaction." Koran figured he shouldn't tell this one he's a Jedi Padawan yet, so he just spoke of a school.

 

[Incubi Priest]

"He stinks of Force." Ammbasha growled lowly to his friend. The large mammalian biped didn't much care for Force users. He viewed them as weak. They couldn't live on their own, they had the despicable lack of survival skills, instead being little more than infants dependent on their Force to take care of them.

"Trained or no?" Eul spat back quickly in what sounded like random noises than any language. In reality, almost no one could understand Shyyriwook, but the Gossam language was known to several people. So, to make up for lack of modern close range encryption translators, Eul had devised a language of a mixture of rearranged Basic, Huttese, Gossam, and Selkath. It would take a skilled translator no less than a month to decrypt his speak, but Ammbasha had helped devise the language and knew it very well.

"No," Ammbasha replied with a shrug, "Or I don't know. All I know is that he has the stench. Its undeniable."

The Gossam nodded before turning back to the boy. It was unknown if his Wookiee companion was an adept or not, but one thing was certain: his ability to read people was uncanny. He had the tendency to refer to their traits as stenches, though they didn't put off any actual scent.

"School eh?" Eul replied with a nod, "Very interesting. I don't take it you're in some Republic Youth Training eh? I'm a fan of the Republic, just not its police force."

 

[JarJar]

Adelphos (still drunk) was listening to the conversation. He didn't know why but he didn't liked Eul. So he stood up and walked to him and said:

''He Eul if that is you're real name you better watch out because we are Jedi!''

Adelphos fell and fainted again.

 

[D.C.]

Koran raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me, Adel? Uh, don't mind him. He's drunk." Koran laughed. "Nah we're not in a republic school. Like I said, I'm not gonna talk about it."
Somehow it felt like these two friends, the Gossam and the Wookiee, didn't trust Koran. Or maybe it was the other way around, Koran didn't trust them.

Something was about to happen.

 

[Incubi Priest]

Ammbasha snarled angrily at the mention of Jedi, but downed the rest of his battle tonic and dug his claws into the bar to prevent himself from attacking the youths. In reality, he wasn't about to do it anyway, but his anger was definitely at that level. Eul ignored his friend but raised an eyebrow in curiosity, a small grin of triumph on his face.

"I agree, he does seem very very drunk. However," The Gossam leaned forward once again so that only Koran could hear, "in wine there is truth. A fool tells lies or stories. A drunken fool speaks only the truth. You do not scare me though Jedi, you aren't old enough to."

 

[D.C.]

"Well, mister, I don't know what you mean by that. You're right we're Jedi, but we are not enemies." yet.
He looked over to Adelphos and shook his head.
Thanks a lot, for blowing our cover...
"Unless you want us to be your enemies."

 

[Incubi Priest]

"Now I know there is no reason to fear you. You are not a Jedi. You are a student of Jedi, and by your speech and manner, a bad one at that. I do not doubt your skilled, but you're brash and arrogant. Its sad when a criminal knows more of Jedi philosophy, and follows it more closely, than a Padawan. Sad indeed. Leave me alone now," Eul said, turning his attention back to the partrons of the bar, "You bore me, Padawan."

 

[D.C.]

The Gossam was working on Koran's nerves. Was this guy trying to provoke him or anything? Koran knew that if he needed to, he could reach for his gun in one second and aim it at the Gossam's head in another second. He might be just a young padawan, he had learned how to wield a gun when he was with Sid and the people onboard the merchant ship [see profile].
"In fact, sir, you bore me. You are the arrogant person here, you spoke to me in the first place. So leave me alone."
Koran hated fighting, and only fought if he needed to, and he hoped this one wasn't looking for a fight.
He sighed and looked away from the Gossam.
So far a beautiful holiday... he thought.

 

[Incubi Priest]

Eul couldn't help but chuckle. With a scoff and a sly grin he slowly shook his head.

"No, you're no Jedi. A jedi's pride would not have been hurt just then, and he would have dropped it. I'm telling you for you own good. What makes a Jedi a Jedi is his mentality, not his sword, and certainly not the Force. Ammbasha, will you get Ultrikk for me?"

The Wookiee rolled his eyes and growled back,

"You lazy schutta, you get him! Quit annoying the Force-scum and do something useful for once in your life. Of course they're not acting like Jedi, they're too young! Haven't been trained yet!"

 

[D.C.]

Koran was annoyed like hell. He wanted to hurt this Gossam, though he didn't like violence. A huge tention was building in him. He knew it was not Jedi-like to get angry, but he couldn't help it. If the Gossam said anything more, he would snap it.
