Open Sith Life's a Beach

[Elina Zelle]

Elina hadn't received an invitation but she was resourceful enough to find her own way. With a few soft whispers and nail scratches, she would herself amongst the company of VIPS that would be traveling to the resort. After years of being on her own, her practiced playful smiles came with ease and upon her command. Upon arriving at the party as she stepped past the guards, it wasn't hard to separate from the group once drinks had been served. Once on her own again, she could hear the music that echoed through the beach and her heart immediately led her to it.

As she walked on, she would earn a few looks from both men and women with her confident stride. Her hair was an unnatural deep crimson, one a few tones lighter than blood. But what really made her hard to hide was her tanned skin that would begin to shine golden as the rays of the sun continued to stroke her skin. It would easily point her out as a firrerreo as she practically shone like a star and a stark contrast to her white swimsuit that clung to her toned body.

Elina's optics, hidden under her shades, would scan the small assembled crowd that was dancing and couldn't believe her luck. Not only had she found the MVP but more importantly, she found a face she hadn't seen in a long time. It really was dessert for her after the game. A wide smile would spread across her lips, one that fully revealed her fangs as she couldn't help it.

Not intending to interrupt the party, Elina wouldn't call out to Tia but instead join in without an invite. As the beat picked up, the firrerrero would spread the light fabric she had wrapped around her out wide, revealing her full body as she sauntered to the group. Her hips would match and swing to the beat and once she arrived in the small circle, Elina would bring up her hands and clap gently with the song, her head angling the opposite way of her hands.

When the beat dropped once more, Elina would simply throw the fabric into the air, letting it float through the air and add to the chaos as the four continued to dance. She would spin around so her rear faced the group, dropping it low and performing circular motions as her arms went into the air, letting out whoops as they danced.

Instead of coming back up, she would spin around Aadya and be right beside Tia, grabbing one of her hands and pulling her into Elina's body. The firrerreo would flash a bright smile at her, fangs showing once again as she commented with her silky voice, "Long time no see beautiful."

[Clove Vanhoop]

"I'm glad you think so, yeh..." Clove paused for a second, her gaze fixed on her glass. "You are right! She may be mocking me, but I'm still here, ready to use my legs again!" Half-Annfyn smiled brightly as she kicked both of her legs back and forth for a few moments, all the while staring at Aadya, who had moved over to the bar.

Her gaze was drawn back to the fellow half-Annfyn after a roll of the eyes. "Yeh, really! My family isn't that much into alcohol." Her father and the Jedi order had repeatedly told her that alcohol was bad for her. Her father because they were there to help stupidly intoxicated tourists, not to join them. And the Jedi Order, because... well, you know. It was rather obvious. "But it tastes interesting!"

Something stopped her just as she was about to take a big sip from her glass after lifting it and responding with a "To something new!" It was the smell of fish. It was slightly salty, oceany, oily perhaps? Nothing gross, Clove loved fish after all! But it was enough to come to a stop and look around to see if anyone was serving fish. Then a loud siiiiippppp right behind her back sent a shiver down her spine. Somebody was right there. Her gaze was drawn to Vahliri, who was peering over her shoulder at the figure.

Clove shuffled closer to Vahliri instinctively, as if subconsciously seeking protection, before carefully looking over her own shoulder to see who was standing right behind her.

Oh, it was the Ocean God.

Clove returned her gaze to Vahliri for a second, her cheeks turning a brilliant violet. Ugh. Why was the cute-looking dude right next to them? She began to whisper as quietly as she could, knowing that her sensitive half-Annfyn ears would allow her to hear incredibly soft sounds. "I don't know him? I saw him emerge from the water as if he had just stepped out of a perfume commercial."

After muttering "You, uhm, okay there? Or, do you wanna grab a drink as well, or?" Clove nervously placed the glass against her lips and took a few big sips from it. As much as she despised the burning sensation in her throat and the foul taste of alcohol, she enjoyed the fresh and fruity flavors that followed. It was... drinkable. Ish? Drinkable enough to take another sip, while swinging her shoulders to the rhythm of the music. She wasn't doing a full-fledged dance like the one going on at the beach, but she was clearly trying to cool her nerves and enjoy herself. And regardless of if the Nautolan joined them or not, Clove turned her focus to Vahliri.

"Would you mind if I call you Vahl? Or would that be too impolite?" Clove paused for a moment. "Do you think they have something to snack, like ice cream? Would you like some?" If the Nautolan were to join them, she'd offer him the same.

[John Q]

Back near the cake table, John had been assaulted by a man he didn't know. He let it happen, as he did not have his jackhammer with him. Standing there with a blank expression on his face, he stared into the man as if he were a foreign horizon in a distant and unknowable land. A crab crawled across the sand towards John. He picked it up and took a bite out of its head, chewing and swallowing it. The crab's headless body flailed, claws twitching in his hand. Sky blue blood ran through his fingers. "My name is John. I am a Sith." he said to the man. "I brought a gift."

 

[Soleil Altan]

Soleil blinked, unphased by the idea of eating a crab. Moreso a human doing it was beyond weird, especially since the sharp shellfish shards would pierce the delicate inner lining of his mouth and throat. In fact, Sol thought he saw a mix of blue and red blood would present on the greaseball's lips when he voiced an introduction. Sol gave John a mildly disturbed look, but it was better than demolishing the cake. Which John hadn't bothered addressing.

Sol gave John a skeptical look, one brow raised. He wasn't buying it, unless John was one of those Sith nutcase types the Empire liked to sweep under the rug. Between the grease and wearing heavy working layers on a hot, sunny beach, the strange man smelled of layered B.O. and old oil. Sol gestured toward the beach showers. "If you're gonna stay, I suggest beachwear. And water. Don't touch the cake yet." After making sure the cake was re-covered and properly guarded by resort staff against thievery, Soleil walked away toward the gift table.

However, little did John Q know, he'd just cruelly slain the much-beloved Princess of the Crabs. Roused to crustacean vengeance, swarms of crabs emerged from the water and sand, incensed by his heartless crabicide crimes to engage in Crab Battle. Their mightiest warriors were Force-sensitive and would wield it to jump up and ruthless pinch John in his sensitive bits until he left their territory, bubbling terrible warcries. Several of them twerked or danced to the background music in the sand, clacking claws to the beat.

Sol meanwhile uncovered his skimboard, a folded-up party banner, and a Tropix Resort Party Confetti Cannon. Perfect.

@Taygood

 

[Darth Tiamat]

Dancing? Not her thing? Far from it!

The redhead gave him a wide grin, ready to respond when she heard someone approach, asking if they could join in and quickly introduced herself. Tia knew of her very well, but to finally meet her in person was different, like a celebrity within the Sith, and she wanted to dance also! Tia moved over some to give some space for her to join, "I'm Tiamat." she said, giving the woman a wide grin, a free hand wrapping around her red locks as she took another drink, moving closer until Aadya asked something about coming over. Her own movements slowed as she caught Altiar's look and her gaze quickly went from him to Aadya and back to Altair again.

There was clearly a thing between the two of them; the way Aadya looked, his own look and bashful response implied that there was something more happening than just spaceflix and chill. Tiamat didn't want to do anything to give the wrong impression, backing a bit from Altair until another redhead joined them. Her mind suddenly blanked out, no thoughts, she couldn't hear the music; she felt like a terminal hitting the reboot as she pieced together when the last she had seen the familiar redhead.

The music changed and Altiar reached for her hand as well as Elina; blue eyes widened as the scarlet newcomer pulled her close, her back still close to Altair as she still was processing what was happening. Her face quickly glowed as red as Elina's hair when she greeted Tiamat, "Lon-long long, time..." she stuttered and shook her head quickly, giggling, "You've been gone for too long!" she said, finally finding some sway as she re-registered what was playing over the speakers.

[Darth Tempest]

Vahliri kept her honeyed gaze on Krinn for several additional seconds, blinking a few time as she stared down the Nautolan that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. It wasn’t until Clove began to whisper that the hat-Annfyn’s attention was subtly drawn back - confirming that neither of them, in fact, knew the guy that just barged in on their conversation.

The half-Annfyn’s fluted ears flicked ever-so-slightly. She was prepared to tell the guy to get lost when Clove spoke up, inviting him to join them in the pool. It was at that moment that she finally glanced back at the fellow half-Annfyn, clearly noting the blush that was spread across the girl’s face. It didn’t take Vahliri more than a split second to connect the dots, eyes subtly flicking back to glance at the Nautolan’s muscular physique before moving back to Clove, a hint of a knowing grin spreading across her lips.

She turned to look at Clove fully when the girl spoke again. “I don’t mind at all!” She said brightly, flashing the yellow half-Annfyn a smile. “All my friends call me Vahl.” She looked towards the cake table when the girl asked about snacks. “Oh yeah - I’m sure they have all kinds of snacks and stuff over with the other goodies,” She jutted her thumb in that direction. “But firssstttt,”

Vahliri threw back the rest of her drink, setting the glass back down at the edge of the pool before slowly rising up out of the water. “Come dance. I fuckin’ love this song.” She said, extending a hand to help Clove back to her feet before starting to make her way towards the beach with the fellow half-Annfyn. She glanced back at Krinn, flashing the Nautolan a smile as she passed.

“Care to join us?” She said, tilting her head towards the beach where she was headed. Whether the Nautolan decides to follow or not, Vahliri made her way out onto the beach with the rest of the Acolyte’s - dancing close to where Altair, Tiamat and the others were - bringing Clove along with her.

It didn’t take long for Vahliri to begin falling into the music - he entire body swinging and snapping to the beat. It was clear that the half-Annfyn was entirely in her element when dancing, and it was reflected in the way she moved. Vahliri’s hips rolled back and snapped with quick bursts, performing circular motions as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other. The half-Annfyn slowly turned as her hips snapped outward, performing a half-circle so that her back was turned to face the group.

As soon as the beat dropped, Vahliri raised her hands into the air and dropped down to her knees - balancing her weight on balls of her feet as she dipped close to the ground. Even there, she continues to rolled her hips backward in circular motions, her shoulders rolling to the beat.

Vahliri lingered there for a few additional moments before springing back to her full height. She spun back around, flashing a mischievous grin towards Altair and the rest as she continued to dance. She looked towards Clove, encouraging the girl to get into it as well.

[Clove Vanhoop]

---

Clove's cheeks and ears were already on fire, and Vahliri's knowing grin only added fuel to the flames. But Vahl moved on before she could say anything, answering her questions and mentioning a variety of snacks and other treats. The half-Annfyn looked over at one of the tables almost longingly before catching Vahl down the entire glass in the corner of her eyes, along with the invitation to dance.

Clove couldn't quite say no to the extended hand or the offer to dance. Instead, she imitated Vahl's behavior and drank the rest of her drink all at once, which was not her best decision, before grabbing the girl's hand and carefully rising to her feet. She smiled shyly at the Nautolan before following Vahliri to the beach, where everyone was dancing to loud music. She considered grabbing her cane on the way, but judging by the music and the way everyone was dancing, she realized it would only get in the way.

Plus, Aadya was there. And she had a point to make.

But right as they arrived at the group, Clove's cheeks burned up once again. She'd seen plenty of partygoers dancing in the distance; as a kid, she used to love looking out the window at the multiple parties going on across the clinique. But seeing Vahl drop down while circling her hips up close was an entirely new experience.

This was truly a day of many new experiences.

Still, even though she was nervous and out of her element because she only knew ballet, she was determined to give it her all. The sarong came undone with a single pull on the makeshift ribbon in her hair, allowing the bun to unravel into her usual mane of curls. At first, Clove began to sway her hips ever so slightly while moving her shoulders far more confidently. But, gradually but steadily, she got more into it, whether it was because she was a lightweight and the alcohol began to make its way through her body, or because of the music that overtook her soul. She started swinging her hair from left to right and tracing her hands over her hips and thighs before throwing them up into the air for a second.

And while her lower body appeared stiff and awkward because she was mostly shuffling like a grandmother, the joy on her face and the elegance in her upper body were difficult to overlook.

[Krinn Nelthar]

Ah, they had noticed him. Well, that was probably to be expected, really. Krinn's expression is stoic as he peers at the two ladies, dark eyes blinking curiously.

"Hello." The Nautolan responds to Vahliri without the slightest hint of shame. No, he doesn't really care that he had been caught, he had just been looking to get into the latest tea. Another sip of his wine, and he peers toward the other, Clove. Her offer drifts lightly into his thoughts, and he considers it for a moment. But... no. He's not really interested in drinking with them. And it seemed they were done with their gossip, so why would he linger? "I was listening to your gossip." Krinn admits simply, and they might detect the disappointment that had melted into his tone, because it seemed the shit talk was over for now. A pity.

Out of the corner of his dark eyes, he starts to notice the dancing, and it doesn't take him long to divert his gaze very firmly away from whatever that was. Krinn didn't dance, but if he did, he certainly wouldn't be dancing like that. A classy, slow waltz, perhaps? The Nautolan might be able to handle that sort of thing.

He blinks at Vahliri's invitation, before offering a slight shake of his head.

"I prefer to swim." Krinn responds casually, and since they were getting out of the pool, he supposed he had the thing to himself, for now. He still preferred the ocean, but he wasn't going to stroll past the rowdy crowd again. Placing his wine glass upon a nearby table, the Sith doesn't wait any longer before throwing himself head first into the sparkling water, a perfect dive that sends him shooting through the depths. The sun catches upon his back as he glides beneath the surface, setting his scales alight with a fiery glow. In seconds, he's on the other side of the pool, before he begins the lap again.

@LilyNion @Altaris

 

[Aadya Rasheer]

Aadya smirked a bit as Altair pulled her close, unperturbed that he also tried pulling in Tia. Their sandwich never quite came to fruition though as a newcomer Aadya had never met arrived, one who seemed to speak a siren's song to Tia and pull all of her attention.

The beat of the music seemed to thump in time to Aadya's heart as it raced with excitement. Turning away from Altair, Aadya pressed her body into him, as she moved her hips in time. Given Aadya's choice of attire was a thongkini, Altair would be feeling what was essentially her bare ass gyrating on his crotch; her hands on his thighs, gripping them tightly.

As she danced, Aadya watched as Vahl and Clove approached and joined in. She was somewhat impressed with Vahl's ability to drop and pop the Vahlussy, and her mind drifted again to the idea that it was super unfortunate someone so attractive was such an asshole.

Letting the music return to taking over her thoughts, Aadya continued to grind on Altair, pressing herself further into him, wanting to feel the parts of him hidden beneath his swimsuit.

@Sreeya

 

[Altair Din]

Altair looked up and blinked in surprise at the new woman that showed up. He hadn’t seen her before, but that hair and her outfit certainly meant his gaze rested on her for a healthy bit of time. It wasn’t long before she tugged Tiamat away and there was a subtle flash of disappointment at not getting his sandwich dance. Nevertheless, if the ladies were having fun on his birthday, that was all that mattered. Besides, it meant he had Aadya all to himself.

The tiefling’s focus turned solely to Aadya, smiling at her briefly before she turned around and began to move to the music. One of his hands was in the air and waving around, the other grasped Aadya’s hip, brushing over her warm skin. He pulled her close, his body swaying behind her as she used him as a glorified stripper pole. Altair knew he was in deep shit the moment he looked down and confirmed exactly what he was feeling - her bikini bottom was certainly different. On top of that, she was twerking and doing all kinds of tricks sending his mind into a fog.

Shit.

Altair was in trouble and Aadya would certainly feel it. His tail swayed side to side behind him and he kept a cool exterior. He thought desperately about his great Aunt Gertrude to avoid being entirely obvious. His gaze flicked up above Aadya’s head to look at the others. That was when he saw Vahliri and Clove dancing. Though Clove looked a bit awkward moving, he couldn’t help but smile a bit fondly at the sight. However when his eyes shifted over to Vahliri, he openly stared at the way she moved, her entire body moving with practiced and sensual sway. Damn, that wasn’t fair. On top of what he felt what Aadya was doing.

His hips ground into Aadya to the beat of the song, feeling heat rush throughout his entire body. Altair leaned in close to Aadya’s ear, “You trynna rile me up in front of everyone?” His tone was low octave, almost a pleading growl.

@Logan @Altaris

 

[Darth Tempest]

Vahliri couldn’t deny being slightly ever-so-slightly disappointed that Krinn had declined the offer to dance. The half-Annfyn really wouldn’t have minded dancing with the muscular Nautolan herself, but more importantly she didn’t miss the way that Clove was making eyes at him back in the pool. A mischievous side of her fully planned on getting the two of them bumping and grinding together on the beach. Unfortunately, the Nautolan getting cold feet at the last minute seemed to kill any such plans.

Oh well. The half-Annfyn was more than happy to simply join in on the dancing without him. Rising back to her feet, she continued to dance to the music. She glanced back over her shoulders, watching as Clove got into the music and dancing. Sure, the fellow half-Annfyn was moving a bit awkwardly amongst the rest of them, but the smile on her face and the fact she was clearly enjoying herself was all Vahliri needed to know. Vahliri’s lips tugged up into a bright smile towards Clove, mouthing the fellow half-Annfyn a silent ‘Dammnn’ as they danced. She already looked good in the outfit she was wearing, and confidence was far more attractive than anything they could wear.

Her attention gradually shifted back to the scene in front of her. Honeyed eyes settled upon Aadya and Altair, watching for a long moment as the two danced together. She clearly noted the way that Aadya grinded back against the Tiefling and how he gripped her - the sight subtly bringing up the faintest irk within her. And yet, the half-Annfyn didn’t miss the way that Altair openly stared in her direction.

She couldn’t help the mischievous smile that tugged at the corners of her lips, gaze lingering on the Tiefling for a long moment. Even as the Tiefling danced against the Firrerreo, Vahliri had every intention of making herself all that harder to ignore before Altair.

Flashing Clove on last quick smile, Vahliri shifted towards an open space in the group circle - her attention now strictly focused onto Altair. The half-Annfyn’s brought her hands up from her sides as she danced, the bracelets on her wrists sliding up the length of her forearms as they swayed, moving in perfect rhythm with the way her shoulders rolled and torso undulated forward. Her hips rose and fell with rapid beats that matched the music, swaying from side to side before rolling back in circular motions.

There was a practiced and sensual finesse to the way that the half-Annfyn moved her body, confident and in control of her every muscle and limb. She couldn’t help but flash the Tiefling a faint grin, the corners of one side of her lips tugging into that characteristic sideways smile. Without a word, the half-Annfyn slowly rotated on the balls of her feet - her hips popping outward and dropping with every step of the turn - until her back was turned to face Altair. Only then did the half-Annfyn bend ever-so-slightly forward at the waist. She bounded her weight between both of her ankles, her hips performing circular motions and rolling backwards from side to side.

She lingered in place for several long seconds before rising up to her full weight - spinning back around to face the Tiefling as she danced. As her body moved sensually to the music, Vahliri drew her hands slowly but surely up her body - starting at the tops of her thighs. Her fingers splayed as they glided across her dark skin - passing over her taut stomach, and then slowly over the front of her bikini top. She hooked a thumb beneath the strap of her top just then, giving the fabric a suggestive tug before uncurling her finger to release it.

All the while, her gaze never left Altair. The half-Annfyn’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed ever-so-slightly into a seductive stare as she bit down against the bottom of her lip, letting the skin drag through her teeth.

@Sreeya @Logan @LilyNion @GABA @llamallove @Nevermourn

 

[Elina Zelle]

Elina couldn't help but let out a soft laugh as she saw Tiamat's skin become flush. It was a real one that would show off her white teeth and specifically her fangs. For some reason, she always had a soft spot for the girl and it started when she had stood out easily from the rest at the sith party and the dress she wore. Even amongst the small crowd, the red-haired girl was the one that once again easily stood out for her, the scars along her back and such unnoticed.

When she completed her sentence, Elina let a grin spread across her face and one of her eyebrows arch, even higher than her shades so that it could be soon. "I thought you knew it was hard for me to stay in one place. I go where life takes me." If there was one thing about her it was that she grew bored quickly, resulting in this antsiness that made her travel around the galaxy.

Both of Elina's hands would slip down Tia's arms smoothly and into her own, interlocking their fingers as they would be raised to their chest. Their hands would be pushed in and out toward each other, matching the beats as Elina's hips would shake as well to the beat. As the two danced together, the Firrerrero couldn't help but notice the young half-Sephi leave the company of the other in order to dance in an open area.

The Firrerreo's gaze would quickly slide back to Tia, a smile playing once more on her lips, "Like now." Elina would start to step backward, dragging Tia with her as her shoulders would be shimmied the entire way. As they neared Clove, she would raise their interlocked hands into the sky to form a slight pyramid. They would end up on opposite sides of the young Jedi before the arms would be lowered, playfully trapping her within the embrace of the other two.

Clove would be facing toward Elina, Tia at her rear, the Firrerreo smiling down brightly at the young half-Sephi. "I couldn't help but notice you. Mind if we join?" Elina would sway to the beat with Clove, bringing her into their little dance circle.

@GABA @LilyNion

 

[Clove Vanhoop]

---

So many things happened all at once, causing her cheeks to flare up and never cool down. Not only did Altair look... cute, but the girl's incredibly sensual dancing had her eyes wandering. They were all cute. Very cute. Even Aadya, the witch of the century, made her cheeks burn a little more with each new grind she took against Altair's lower body.

Which. Ieh. Gross. Get a room.

And yet Clove couldn't look away, from Aadya, from Altair, from Vahl. The warmth in her cheek spread throughout her body, leaving her with sensations she was confused about.

Clove was about to fix her gaze on Vahl and only Vahl when the fellow half-Annfyn gave her a faint smile and walked away to an open area, leaving her alone. And then Vahl began to dance. That is, if you can call it that. By the way she looked at Altair, it was clear that she was trying to impress him, perhaps to distract his attention away from Aadya. You go girl, rip Aadya away from him, but did that mean they were dancing for his attention? She had no idea how to feel about any of that.

On top of that, she was now completely alone. And her confidence wasn't quite as strong as she had hoped.

The half-Annfyn didn't stay alone for long, as a girl with gorgeous firey red hair stepped in front of her before she even realized it. But she felt a presence behind her and judging by the girl's hands, they were holding each other, Clove sandwiched between them. Clove looked over her shoulders, a smile on her lips, relieved that she wasn't alone. She then locked her gaze on the Eternal's.

Clove's already large brown eyes widened even more as her gaze returned to the fiery-haired woman in front of her. The Eternal was behind her. Her most vulnerable side, which she couldn't protect, was literally at her back. And the Eternal was there. No, she needed to get out of the grandmother shuffle right now. "Heeeyy! I appreciate the dancing, but I'm out of... alcohol... so I'm going to the bar! But it's very kind of you to dance with me, thank you!" Her already rambling tone became even quicker, and as soon as she finished her sentence, she stiffly dove beneath the girl's arms and out of the death trap.

Clove did indeed make a beeline for the bar without looking back. "Hello, I uhm... I would like a drink." She spoke in a strained tone, her hands tucked into her sides. "What type of drink? I'm not sure... How about uhm... what do the others order?" Her eyes thinned as the man named a list of drinks she didn't recognize. "Surprise me! Make it lovely!" Within a few minutes, she was handed a glass filled with a pinkish liquid. Clove turned on her heels and began walking back to the pool after a polite "Thank you." While her eyes scanned the area and found the Nautolan, she took a sip from the glass. And, by Force, was it disgusting, even more so than the drink at the pool. It burned like a metal rod down her throat. And yet she sipped again, her face grimacing as she took a few cautious steps down the pool staircase.

"I'm back, ocean man! Need to give my legs a break!" She blurted out.

[Finn Galfridian]

Late, fashionably so as if chat was to be trusted, Finn walked in wearing clothes that were much less revealing than some of the other Sith present. Lacking the physique of some of the chaps present, he was glad he wasn't showing more of his skinny little ass for everyone else to compare against them. He had at-least taken a showed before leaving, and followed a spacetube video to properly groom his hair, so he didn't feel completely out of place.

He wandered around till he found himself a drink, and not knowing anyone, meandered through the crowd towards the pool. Ht had just just settled down at the pool's edge with his feet dangling in the water, when a tiny little girl showed up at the steps right besides him, screaming about an ocean man. Wondering if that was some sort of gamer tag, he took a sip of his drink and called out to her. "Over there," he gestured towards a section of the pool a little down from where he was, where one of the underwater jets was located, "snuggle up to the jet, its like an underwater massage." Taking another sip, and realizing that he had just blurted out info without any context, he stopped mid sip and continued after wiping his mouth on a sleeve.

"For the legs," he added, gesturing towards her feet with the bottle in his hand, "it'll help."

Waiting to see if she would follow his advice, he took another sip, before remembering more suggestions from chat and piping up with a further attempt to socialize. "So, do you get the beach party invitation or the one for the birthday party?" Having technically received neither, he bit his lip almost as once, realizing that it wasn't really the best topic of conversation if he was trying to make friends.

@LilyNion

 

[Imani Din]

She was a bit late, but she was there. It was her little brother's birthday, and it was celebrating his Huttball win. That was important! She had, of course, brought him a gift as well.

"Where's the gift table?" The woman stood with her hand on one hip, held a neatly-wrapped present in the crook of that arm, and looked around with pale eyes for the desired object. She found it pretty quick and made a beeline for it. She'd gotten him a pair of custom Matukai gloves, made from a deep black material and armored with glossy black durasteel. Though hard to pick out unless you were looking for it, he would find the phrase "no matter what happens" embossed along the forearm edge of the left gauntlet. The box itself though was unassuming. It was wrapped in plain brown paper with perfect cursive reading "From: Imani, To: Tai" on the top.

Imani set the present down behind the rest, then turned to look back at the party. Her pale eyes traveled across the various groups, stopping only when she found her brother. Her expression was the plain definition of "oh god', but he was an adult and she had no interest in witnessing that, so she quickly moved on to look for the bar. She'd find and talk to him later.

"Do you have wine?" Wine glass in hand, the tiefling spun around and headed for the pool. She'd come dressed for the beach and wore a one-piece that offered just a touch of tasteful titty.

"Hello party people!" Imani would call out in greeting as she plopped down on the edge of the pool, having just her legs to dip into the cool water for now. Her tail curved around and rested to her side whil her pale eyes drifted to those present (@Wit @Nevermourn @LilyNion), a casual smile on her lips as she acknowledged them.

"I love your bathin' suit! It's absolutely adorable," she complimented of Clove when she caught sight of the bright patterns.

Her gaze then stopped on Krinn, who she decided to entertain herself with for now. He was pretty cute—cuter than any Nautolan she'd met to this point. Hopefully he was interesting enough to hold her over until she could catch a second to wish her little brother a happy birthday. "I'm Imani. What's your name?" Her voice had the slightest hint of an accent, found in the elongated vowels of her words.

The beach party was in full swing, or at least it sounded like it was in full swing. Somehow, Zoella had managed to remain oblivious to any Sith shenanigans going on in the background. Which wasn't unusual, at least not for the blonde teenager who, according to her parents, had always possessed a knack for 'acute oblivion.'

Now that the Emryc Energy drink flavors were arranged, Zoella looked up from her task. A task that would have taken half the time if she hadn't gotten distracted playing Amidst Them on her mobile device. Picking up the ice cooler, packed to the brink with energy cans, the teenager wandered through the crowd.

"Anyone want one?" she asked of no one in particular, not even sure if her voice would be heard above the crowd and music. "Here, this one has your face on it," she added with a friendly smile, offering a can of Full Throttle to a short, sandy haired girl passing by on her way to the pool (@LilyNion ). "I loved it when you KOed Krazy Kel with that syringe gun."

Zoella spotted Soleil by the gift table and made her way over. "You planning to ride that thing?" she asked, tilting her head toward the skimboard in his hands. @Mr. Teatime sorry I dipped xD

 

[Darth Tiamat]

She explained her whereabouts and then again she didn't explain, but refreshed Tiamat's memory of her need to bounce from place to place. It reminded the woman of her own self now, unable to stay put and something she didn't really know of herself at the time when she met Elina. She felt the woman's hands slide down her arms and her body reacted with a shiver and some goosebumps along her neck. She let Elina take her hands, still somewhat thrown by the woman's sudden appearance, her blue eyes coming into focus for a moment as the music changed and so did their dance before she felt suddenly self-conscious about who she was dancing with as she saw Altair and Aadya really...something. Her cheeks reddened and found some relief that Elina dragged her away and now she was dragging her away again?

This time it was to the elf-like woman with the artificial spine, what Tia was not expecting was Elina to sandwich her between them and suddenly she was feeling too close. Though, she couldn't help but to quickly look at the handiwork of medical engineering. Clove seemed to be taken aback, perhaps even a bit frazzled as she turned her head to catch Tiamat's blue gaze. The woman certainly noticed the change in her response, eyes widening, seemingly surprised and uncomfortable as she broke out of the dance.

Tiamat stood quietly watching Clove making it straight to the bar, her own thoughts turning, brow narrowing, but she didn't say much more. Instead her enthusiasm to dance at the moment was sapped as she freed her hands from Elina, still watching Clove with something in hand, heading back to the pool. Tia looked at Altair, Aadya, and now Vahl, and then at the ocean and then back to Elina. "I'm going to go sit by the water." she said feeling the sudden urge to separate and recollect herself. She gave a nod to the water, seemingly offering Elina to come also.

[Aadya Rasheer]

The low rumble of Altair's voice filtered into Aadya's ear like a whispered lullaby, the feeling of his warm breath on her neck sending a shiver down her spine. As she continued to grind her body against his, Aadya's hand would slowly drift from its place on Altair's thigh to behind her back.

Her hand caressed his trouble, but not gently, though in a way no one but Altair would be able to notice. A devilish smirk creased her lips as Aadya too watched Vahl's dancing display, a huff of a condescending chuckle escaping her nostrils as she tightened her hand on Altair just a little bit tighter.

Trying? She said, letting Altair go and turning to face him. From what I can tell, I think I've succeeded, baby. She smiled seductively at Altair as she said it, her hands going up his back, her nails dragging just a bit on his skin before trailing off.

Pulling away from Altair, the grin still on her face, Aadya started walking over to the pool; knowing full well Altair would have a perfect shot of her ass as she walked away, not bothering to look back before approaching the edge and diving in.

[Darth Draugr]

Ah a pool party. With all of the younger Sith. Another chance to get to know them. Hopefully this time they grew up a little and don't fight over the boy that happens to be the center of attention for the event... now that he thought about it, it might be more of a possibility now than ever.

Nevertheless it was someone else's turn to be in charge of this. He would go ahead and forget about this and move forward to get the party started.

Looking around there was the group of younger Sith and then the older Sith and the in between. Though he hadn't much of a relationship with them. They mostly seen him as the authoritarian or the big mean Zabrak. That or some may think he was jackass but they didn't speak openly about it. In an overall thought he didn't care, he just wanted to swim in the deep end ad if they talked to him they talked to him.

So as he walked up to the party and grabbed a bottle of liqour chugged a few large gulps tossed it into the hands of some Acolyte and pulled his shirt off tossing it to the side. His tattoos and scars showing for all to see. Now only dressed in his swim trunks he began to run straight towards the pull and once he got close enough to jump he leaped into the air and formed a canon ball as he fell into the water creating a large splash onto whoever was near the edge of the pool.

The water had a cold shock at first but as his body slowly adapted tot he water he rose to the surface and wiped the water from his eyes as he smiled, the water felt great.

 

[Altair Din]

Altair kept swaying and dancing against Aadya, his gaze trained forward. That was when he caught Vahliri looking right at him and purposely changing up how she danced. She would see his jaw comically drop at the sight even though she couldn’t see his wide eyes through his shades. She knew exactly what she was doing, his gaze lingering on her as she turned around and dropped it. Vahliri turned around again and began to trace her hands over her body, his gaze following every move.

However, that was when Aadya reached back, her actions causing what almost sounded like an involuntary whimper. His face was suddenly extremely hot and he would tomato red if not for his very dark pigment. Altair gave a shuddered breath, his tail jerking around a bit from what she was doing. The urge to toss her over the gift table was almost overwhelming. He heard her words and couldn’t help but chuckle, the pet names always sending a jolt through him, “You better make up for all this torture,” He said as he brought his hand down from her hip to give her rear a healthy squeeze as she pulled away from him. Altair wasn’t entirely surprised she would leave him in this state.

The tiefling exhaled as she walked away, watching her as she did so. He shook his head and looked around before doing a quick adjustment to be less obvious. Altair walked over to the bar first, grabbing a bunch of shots, before he made his way over to the hot tub. He gave a jut of his chin in greeting to the people in the pool as he walked, not spotting his sister just yet.

Altair looked up to spot Sith Lord Draugr appear, the sight of him causing his eyes to widen. The tiefling barely turned away to avoid the splash from his cannonball. The tiefling set the drinks down on the edge of the hot tub before he slid in. Altair sat with his back pressed against the jets, relaxing as he placed his arms wide on the edge on either side of him. He spotted Vahliri nearby and waved to her, encouraging her to join if she was so inclined.
