Open Coruscant Blinded By The Lights

[Vrashinal Karzinkaal]

Vrash would have a very hearty laugh at the Zeltrons expense. Her words, the tone, even her use of the force. The sweetest of parlor tricks. He was genuinely amused by what seemed to be a womp rat challenging a krayt. There was a cough that accompanied the laugh before his gaze shifted back to Deeno. "He told me you were looking for work. Got a twenty on a job, escort. Doesn't leave for a few days but it's up to you to lock down." He would grip the hunters forearm tightly. "The Pykes? Tread those waters carefully, especially if this one is working both sides. They normally know."

At Meg's words, and her intent, he could tell she wasn't a Sith and as such the disdain for her would immediately lessen. "Hunters that charge over a thousand and play the lines, Jedi, are never worth the credits. But as the boy says, no need to get bloody, unless it's sought out." His gaze would shift to the zeltron with those words.

 

[Megeshi Oflene]

Megeshi turned to the Kaleesh with a wary half-smile on her face. “I have to agree with you there, Vrash, was it? And with you too, Deeno,” she said, turning to the bounty hunter. “It would be beneficial for all of us to keep a low profile right now.”

Turning now to the Nima, she sighed before beginning to speak.

“Zeltron, I’m going to have to decline your offer. Please, do not take it personally, your services are simply out of my price range.”

The declaration felt cold, though Megeshi held little regret for it. The Jedi could almost feel Nima’s anger radiate outwards, and any Jedi knew that anger bred darkness. To this end, Megeshi felt wary to allow the Zeltron to assist.

Looking over to the walls of the squalid bar, yeh Jedi took in a deep breath and refocused herself briefly. Returning her gaze to the Kaleesh, she looked at him expectantly and begain to ask, “Is there anything else I should know about the Pykes before we can get moving?”

The last thing she wanted was to have lost this prime opportunity, wasting it in this grimy bar. Megeshi could barely understand why any of the patrons could even tolerate the odour, let alone the foul taste of most of the drinks. The human, Deeno, seemed nice enough but Megeshi had always been wary of those around her, pushing them to a safe distance to evaluate their character before being able to trust them. Whether this was a blessing or not, in this circumstance, was yet to be known. Either way, she wanted to get working as soon as possible, never one to idle.

[Nima Deleste]

.

It seems an old man would get to learn his lesson today. Nima would continue her prolonged stare, while the Kaleesh and Megeshi spoke. She ignored both and wondered how quickly an old Kaleesh could react to a lightsaber being ignited into his side point-blank. The hunter had none of his weapons either, she could take them both out. The Jedi would be a tougher challenge, Nima had no idea what the extent of her abilities was. There were fewer faces in the bar than before, but Nima didn't know the extent of their skills as well.

Nima turned her head to respond to Megeshi: "Shame. After having a very short conversation with someone of your kind, I've been slowly taking out the Pykes from below. You mentioned the spice trade, and that someone is helping out here recently. I have a vague idea of who it is." Nima paused for a minute before standing up and walking away from the table, using the force to crush the glass of her drink.

Walking to the door, Nima noticed a few of the familiar faces that were in the bar seemed to have left, and that it felt almost empty. Turning around Nima spoke again "I'll go talk to the person I think you're looking for to get the credits I want, and that way I can still continue what I usually do." Nima then turned her gaze onto the Kaleesh "You look pretty old; your species' life span is supposedly 80 years. It is a shame you will never get there. I will find a good spot to store your mask on my ship." Nima would then turn around and exit the bar unless interrupted.

Spoiler: ooc

Exit thread for now unless interrupted. Also, unless she is persuaded, Nima will be helping your target if you get to them, so if that occurs I'll have her rejoin in the same post order we have now.
