Superfast Jellyfish

What am I doing here?

Someone blathered on about their order of Bantha Bites in the booth behind her, almost droned out by the sound of the fast food joint, but not enough for it to not get on Bria's nerves. Of course she knew, somewhere deep down, that public places where good to exchange intel or meet contacts. Lots of people meant it would be hard to double-cross each other, and it was inconspicuous.

But did it really have to be in a Nerfer King?

The room was obnoxiously colorful and just about half full. Promotional posters plastered just about every wall. A teenager with acne took orders behind the one open register with an uncomfortably long line of customers. She took a sip of her cola and glared at... the room. If whoever it was that wanted to meet her didn't step through that door in the next thirty seconds, someone was being thrown out a window.

 

[Richie B.]

The nerfer bits were cheaper but not as filling as the nerfer burger, one might argue that just getting 100 nerfer bits is not a acceptable medium but the Templar will burn you for heresy for suggesting such a thing. What's wrong with having a extremely large amount of fried bird and sauce that one could argue shouldn't be as good as it was. Especially since it was only to promote a movie, Malon or something like that. Something with a girl fighting in a war, and learning to use the force with the help of a small lizard frog. Really? What had the movie industry come to.


It was basically a movie about stupid friendship and didn't have enough blood for his likening. But it did grant Asher the chance to have the perfect sauce. Poodoo to the terrorist contact, he or she can wait as Asher got to dine on the food for Darths!


The kid who took his order seemed to have a hard time understand the number 100 but eventually the kid got it into his skull that the Annoo-Dat considered 100 as just a snack. And so he waited and waited, no doubt the contact was getting impatient but tough, Asher was both doing a power play to see how long the terrorist was willing to stay and he will not sit till he had that sauce even if he needed to destroy this establishment. By damn the inquisition will investigate this place for the secret recipe of that sauce.


"Here is your order sir." A droid said placing the plate with the 100 nerfer bits and several packets of sauce to the side, a drink and a few orders of fries on the plate also.


It was the meal fit for one who was doing shady business. And so Asher in his giant black cloak and hood covering his body and hiding the lightsaber he carried with him. Using the two top arms to carry and balance the plate, his Annoo-Dat tongue licking the lips in anticipation. So looking he spotted his contact in the seat they had picked before arriving and so he walked over his identity hidden from the woman for the most part. And he place his plate to the opposite side of the woman and sat down, with his two upper hands free he removed the hood to reveal his full ugly face, or at least ugly to most standard he looked like a average Annoo-Dat plus two extra arms. But the woman in front of him wouldn't know that.


"Well hello there, give me a sec." Asher spoke quickly opening several of the nerfer bits boxes and letting them all fall into the center of the large plate.


And with the speed only one who has tasted heaven before would have, open a sauce packet and with two hands put about 10 bits within his mouth dipped individually in sauce. His manners weren't the best but he did keep his mouth closed for the most part, before letting them go into his stomach.


"Awww I most say those bastards are going to tell me what they did to make this sauce one day." Asher spoke glaring at the boy who was slowly putting in orders and causing dozens of innocent people to go hungry truly he was the stuff of pure evil.


But remember why he was here, Asher turned with a smile at his contact and asked only one question.


"You interested in fighting the good fight?" The question was just vague enough to keep anyone who was listening in the dark.

Bria waited exactly twenty nine seconds before her contact slid into the seat in front of her, complete with a large cloak and black hood that basically completely negated the reason for choosing to meet in public. He opened the hood to reveal a fairly standard looking Annoo-Dat. Which meant he was exceedingly ugly. Well, that gave the hood a bit of context.

She smacked her head, audibly, on the table as her contact proceeded to scarf down ten nerfer bits, with at least nine more boxes in reserve. This was, by far, the stupidest situation she'd ever been in. And she'd talked to IG-0R a few times, so that was saying something. Although, something about the sauce he was using did look good. She'd have to pick some up later to take back with her. When he was finally finished and decided to get to the point, Bria nodded yes. "I am. And you indicated that you could be of some assistance with that."

 

[Richie B.]

The Templar payed no mind to the woman as she smacked her head into the table, though he spoke quietly to himself. Never had he known someone to so such annoyance when just meeting someone. There was only one word for it and despite they future alliance Asher will make sure she knows what she was doing.


"Rude." It was quiet but she would hear while those near them might not, once the ten bits were gone he took a sip, for the Annoo-Dat it was a sip, but it was about 1/4 the bottle.


He grabbed one of the few napkins the Nerfers gave him, he patted his mouth like one of those rich fools. Sure he wasn't one of them but he enjoyed messing with those he can. It made the Templar feel just a bit better. But she nodded in understanding and asked him a regular question but with some vagueness that the Templar was glad to hear.


"It is possible, I have the capacity to lend a few wise words, and a new fresh perspective when your looking for a way to approach a problem. My status would allow me to provide assistance to those who truly need it. The faith is always looking for ways of improving others life's." Asher said before giving s pretty fake bow and hopefully showed his uncaring to such religious believes.


"Of course this isn't for free, there is a price for everything." Asher said before continue his crusade into the nerfer bits, downing another ten, but this time with some of the side with those bits.


They were all also dipped with the sauce, having to use a new packet for the bits. So far the Templar was enjoying his time, hopefully the contact will as well.

Bria was distinctly not enjoying her time. Needless to say, she didn't exactly enjoy spending her afternoons meeting shady contacts in fact food restaurants that didn't serve alcohol.

That didn't mean she hadn't snuck some brandy in her cola, but it was annoying.

Still, he'd put up with it. To a point. A leader who can't put up with leg work is a bad leader.

"Of course." She said in a low voice once the... creature had downed another ten bits. "It just depends on if what you're selling is worth the price." She wasn't going to pay for false intel. They'd already had to... cut off several informants that couldn't deliver. And she had the feeling cutting off this particular one would be rather difficult, if it became necessary.

He continued to eat while she spoke, making sure he would be able to finish this meeting and meal so he can get back to work. It was understandable that the woman needed to make sure he wasn't about to ask for too much and despite Asher being slightly green in this cloak and dagger businesses he was starting to get better and everyday it was a day he was building himself up. It only took small steps and with each one he made connections and allies with those that can help him eliminate those in his way.


"Well thankfully the cost isn't much for you, simply take down, shall we say the bad guys. Those in particular I need taken care of first, should be top priority and for that I shall make it easy for you to get supplies, information and access to things you weren't normally allowed into. Think of this as a way of making sure your allies are capable of being of more help to you down the road." Asher finished to take another sip of his drink, and once it went down his throw the remembered how fuzzy these drinks were.


He belched slightly loudly but the Annoo-Dat didn't care for how he would be looked at because of it. It was a natural thing and no one should be looked down for doing it. Yet Asher waited to see how the woman took this, maybe he was being to vague maybe he was giving to much or asking for too much. But whatever the case he was going to find out and whatever that case was his two hidden hands were on the lightsabers already a just in case policy.

"Understand that we are not your, shall we say, lackeys. We have our own problems to take care of before we're able to deal with yours. If we had access to some of these supplies and information, we'd be much better prepared to deal with both of our problems." Bria didn't react to the man(?)'s belch, although it smelled particularly rank. Something in the sauce, maybe? It was comparable to a rotting corpse, if she had to put a name to it.

Regardless, she wasn't going to be at this man's beck and call, taking out whoever he decided to point to. Especially without something up front to show for it. That was just bad business. No, they needed some assurance that they'd have their new... friend's support in their endeavors, not just his personal requests.

 

[Richie B.]

The push back was expected and it showed she wasn't going to be some worthless drone. No she was smart which meant she was useful and that she can also be a threat. So he needed to be sure this partnership worked and that everything was in place that it will allow him to move up the ranks. Once that is done he can figure out a way of getting rid of those that he helped to ensure his climb to his power.


"Of course your not, I am only offering you a chance to do what you want. Take down the bad guys and to have the help and support necessary to do that. I can only hope you make sure I can provide more help. And failing that I can take credits. This meal isn't free you know?" Asher smile wasn't much of one but he attempted it anyway, hopefully his winning personality can seal this deal.


But failing that he knew that the woman needs help, there was just only so much one can do without larger support. And considering it was doubtful she had large enough fleet to counter the Empires she was limited on her support. And with the Jedi not being one for supporting those that would hurt innocents hopefully she won't be able to find enough support outside his own. Owning a person supplies does give one ton of control over those that need them. Asher figured that out during his time on Nar Shadda and now he plans to use that experience as he grows in power and makes more deals.

"Perhaps if you had something I could take back and... look into? Just something to help us know that you're worth the price." That was the crux of the issue. She couldn't agree to anything if she couldn't verify that his information was legitimate, and, more importantly, worth what he was asking. It didn't make sense to go chasing after Sith for little more than crumbs.

Besides, he needed them. If he had such vast knowledge of the Sith, that meant he was close to them. Maybe even a Sith himself, or at least a ranking member of their armies. He couldn't move without eyes on him, which meant he needed someone with an axe to grind with them to do the work. She would be happy to obliged as long as he remained useful.

The fact they'd betray each other eventually was a given.

 

[Richie B.]

Asher eyed her up, clearly this was the point of no return, after this he will need to destroy the store and they will need to pick another place so they may continue the discussion. Quickly after patting his mouth to clean off the sauce, his right hand went into the cloak and pulled out a small drive that contained information of a few supply routes of the Sith. And information on a few individuals that would allow one to replace them if necessary. Nothing that would destroy the empire but enough to hook the target. And once they realize they could trust him, well he might be able to start seeing those that stand in his way taken down without him doing a single thing.


Yet this was all a experiment to see how effective this will be, he will make sure none of this came back to him. And if the woman looked into it she will find she can hit a few imperial shipping routes and plant a few moles but the Sith had the list of all he was given so he can always go after them if necessary.


"This is on the house. Because I'm in a good mood." Asher said sliding it to the woman as he continued to eat, enjoying the food he had bought.


Now he just had to see what she did and then they can work something out for sure. Asher could tell this might be dangerous later but he trusted his drive to win. And if he messed up it was on him and he would deserve to die.

Bria nodded sternly, slipping it into a pouch on her belt. Something concrete that her people could look into. If the intel checked out, she could put a bit more weight into this new contact. If not, they could still leverage him to their advantage. Either way, it was a win for them. "We'll take a look. If we like it, you'll hear from us again."

She nodded to the man, who still had quite a few bits left, and stood to leave, taking her cola with her. This would certainly be an... interesting business arrangement, if anything else. And even if it didn't work out, the day wouldn't be a complete waste.

She picked up some of those good looking sauce packets, and was itching to try them out.

 

[Richie B.]

The Sith watched the woman grab his little gift, which was good since that meant that she would see he was actually trying to gain her favor. And now that she was going to head out, well he needed to make sure any evidence of them getting together is destroyed. Which meant that sadly this restaurant and its people needed to go. Which wouldn't be that hard for the Templar considering no one here was really a soldier/warrior. Many really needed to lay off the sauce, it was starting to show how many times they went to the Nerfer king.

"Then I guess I will await your call." Asher said watching the girl leave, before walking up and making sure she was no where in sight.

Locking the doors the Templar pulled out two lightsabers and the Sith made a good time, it wasn't hard really though the small children sadly cause the most pause in the Sith, but if he wanted to secure his position. It needed to be done, and so the store started to burn as the Templar left the holo vids destroyed, the physical evidence in flames, and the witnesses cooking, Truly Nerfer King needed a better menu. Some of those people caught on fire way faster then should be physically possible. Kind of scared the Templar in what he just ate.

The Templar took a shuttle off the world and never looked back, though he didn't enjoy the slaughter of the children, he was perfectly fine with killing the rest. Closing his eyes the Sith remembered why he was doing this, he was to become a Darth he would need ways of removing those that got in his way. So he let out a loud sigh and planned his next moves out slowly.
