Coruscant, Lower Levels
Ailis shoes pounded duracrete as she ran for her fucking life. Apparently, bailing on your gang in the middle of the night and leaving them high and dry without a word or a fresh supplier was a bad move. Apparently, expecting them to be happy to see you after a few months was not the move.
She was wearing a trendy and fasionable Coruscant fit which thankfully had practical shoes for running. She didn't really own shoes impractical for running though, not much of a heels girl. She grabbed hold of a vertical water pipe that graced the corner of an alleyway, sliding around it and continuing to run down the alley with her momentum intact, looking for her next move.
Ailis could still hear a trio of feet slapping the ground behind her as she assessed her options. Fence at the end of the alley. Fire escapes. Dumpster. Lightsaber hidden in the folds of her coat. None of them great. Cornered. Trapped.
"You shouldn't have come back girl." She heard the voice of one of her old gangmates behind her, Scratch. His words carried the tone of someone boosted on crude. The tone of someone intent on some wicked violence. Turn and fight it was.
"And what you gonna do about it?" She spat back at him as she turned and faced them. It was only three of them, their eyes shining as they approached menacingly. She didn't want to pull her saber out, had barely even thought it was a good idea to bring it with. Better to be with than without if she needed it. Instead she reached for a metal rod that was cast aside at the base of a dumpster and focused on it. Concentrate. You can do it.
It floated to her hand, a little unsteady. Not fast. But it got there and she grasped the cold metal with a stronger sense of confidence than without it. The trio of her old gang members looked confused for a second before they each pulled out nasty little vibrating knives. Shit.
