"Taking Candy From A Baby" (Open)

[Thecomicbookbroad]

“Are you insane!?” Daveny shouted, suddenly at the pilots side as if she possessed the ability to teleport.

“he just blew those guys sky high and you wanted to offer him a second chance at us!?”

She quickly secured her mask over her face and continued, pointing at the woman’s chest threateningly.

“If I die because you-…well…that’ll be very unfortunate- but if we die I will kill you!”

She readied herself, when she woke up the this morning “meeting a pirate” captain was not on her to do list.

All of these change of plans had her in a tizzy.

After the comm. shut off Naomi set the course and was shocked to hear Daveny, behind her. “I love how no one listened to my rules, and besides there is no way we can run from them, the hyper drive is still down since you’re friends interrupted me while I was still in the middle of the repairs. They also didn’t blow them up they just disabled them and they ran like babies, and besides if he was going to kill us, he would have by now.” She finished saying as she pulled the ship up next to the port and extended the umbilical. “Besides if we die I’m pretty sure it won’t be by you. Now if you would please wait in the main area while I get some stuff.” She locked down the ships controls and headed for her quarters to change into her civvies and get her two hideout slug thrower pistols, her holdout blaster, and her combat knives.

Daveny tugged at her collar and nodded, moving past the pilot and disappearing back into the main pit.
She examined herself in the reflective surface she could spy in the interior and took to making herself presentable.

“I’ve never met a pirate before…check that off the bucket list I guess!” she said to herself, quickly smearing make-up thick as putty on her cheeks. She slathered the gelatinous base, leaving her scars visible but slightly muted. It wasn’t something she did often, it was of little use, It filled in some of the chunks of missing flesh but scars as deep as hers would require gallons more of the cover-up to do more then give them a more blended effect. The only person she ever strove to lessen her harsh looks for was her Boss, Mr. Kartel, but she was about to meet a criminal of the galaxy after all!

She wanted to look nice if he were to kill her!

taking the leather vest she had disgarded from her outfit she pulled a belt from her small waist and wrapped her broken lekku, securing it with the buckle and hiding its stubby disfiguremnt with the material giving the illusion of it being whole.

 

[Arm514ve]

Naomi steped back out into the main area changed into civvies, a brown coat, a bright blue top, grey pants, and the only visable wepon was a holdout blaster holstered in the leg holster. "lets not keep our hosts waiting anylonger." She said walked to the airlock and opened it once she confimed there was atmosphere on the other side, as soon as the door opened, "Lets get going." She said walking down the umbilical hall and steping onto the pirate ship.

 

[T.J]

As Daxter waited for his guests to board his ship, he quietly mused about things his mind didnt normally wander to. The captain and possibly the entire populous of the small ship was proabably about half way through the umbilical, it would have been almost to easy for him to just order one of his boarding craft to sever one or even both or the sides of the tube. The ship would be his and he would have to worry about any pesky tostages. Daxter quickly dismissed the idea, he wasnt a cold blooded killer, and he had just got a bigger ship probably worth twice as much as the small one. This was his moment to show he was different than other pirates that raided the space lanes.

As his guests neared the interior airlock, Daxter quickly motioned for techicians to open the doors. He kept his posture, having his hands folded behind his back. He noticed that the armored one he had spoken with was not present, either that or she had simply removed her armor. The group did not look very different from many others he had seen during his many years as a outlaw. His observations stopped dead cold when he saw the twi'lek, though her color was not that of his sweet Arali, it still brought great pain to see her. The scars that adored the cyan womans face and her...disfigurements, did not help in the matter.

Daxter quickly snapped out of it and spoke. " Hello. You now stand in the Odyssey. I wish to speak with your captain." Daxter pointed towards the one in the brown coat. " I'm guessing its you." The captain made a quick hand movement, causing several guards to run over and stand behind the small group of guests. Blocking them off from escape for the time being.


" Come! Let me show you around." Daxter said as he turned and let his guards watch his back. They would escort the guests along if they did not follow on their own accord.

 

[Thecomicbookbroad]

Daveny stepped forward, bypassing the pilot and smirking as she regarded her surroundings with satisfaction at the Captain's side. Not what she expected-Not even one Jolly Roger.

She spoke suddenly with a voice smooth as brandy and a rarely used tone of seductive womanly charm. The sound made her characteristic noise seem like the forced banter of a child at play. If her personality allowed her to always be so relaxed the gentle rasp of female vocals would have been her normal sound track.

“Thanks for the rescue.” she said, running her thumb over her lips in thought as she looked about the ceiling with a whistle.

“Lovely ship- I can see you’re a man of taste…or your taste was more for blood and you killed a man of taste. Either way good eye.”

 

[Arm514ve]

"Very well lets talk, lead the way captain." Naomi said as she followed the Odysseies captain, ignoring Davanies childest flirtations on the pirate captain.

 

[T.J]

Daxter escorted the group to a large circular room resembling the bridge. Of course it wasnt the bridge though, no captain in their right mind would take strangers on the bridge of their ship without some kind of payment involved. The room they stood in was directly under the bridge, the amount of guards was a constant with the main hatch. He ignored the twi'lek, being that he had nothing to respond with. The Odyssey was his, never belonging to any other soul.

" Please sit. Have some booze. I know how you young people love to drink until your willing to take a bantha home." Daxter said with a chuckle. His ship was kind of low in the liquor department, but he had liked to give guests the top of the line of what he had. Since he didnt have a whole lot of willing guests.

The pirate directed his attention to the captain of the smaller ship, he was interested in who among her party was the one in question she was willing to get off her shoulders. "So miss?......Who was it you wanted off your ship? As I said before I am more then willing to get them off your chest for a small fee."

 

[Arm514ve]

"Naomi Sol, captain of the Nirvana, and independant merc." she said as she took a seat, "and I'll pass on the drink thank you. I was thinking of getting rid of them but if it is going to cost me I'll have to pass. they owe me some credits even if the trip was in complete seeing as one got me ran off the planet below, and the other possibly made me an accesory to murder, so I am a little keen on getting rid of them but not with out a little payment my self."

 

[T.J]

" Its always money with you young types. But ill bite." Daxter said as he sat down facing Naomi, picking up the drink that was meant for her and setting it closer to him. He wasnt about to waste a perfectly good drink.

" Which one did those fine gentlemen that were holding my new ship for me want? I'm sure I can make a pretty credit chip for them. Seeing that they were so egar to get them back."

 

[Arm514ve]

“The scared one over there, Don't get me wrong I'm not usually that type of merc," Naomi said in her defense, "I would have taken them to the authorities as soon as I got to coruscant, and after I was paid cause fuel doesn’t buy it self after all, but after what happened on the planet there lives under my protection was void, though I still don't know the whole story of the scared Twi’lek over there but apparently she touched a whole lot of little children." Naomi looked at Daveny at the end of her sentance, looking for her side of the story.

 

[Thecomicbookbroad]

"first of all I am NOT frightened!" Daveny lashed, she threw back her head downing her drink and slammed it on the table before continuing.

"2nd I only touched the ones who refused to give me money!"

she reached for another drink and added:

"and the only reason we got chased off that dump is because one told her daddy!"

 

[T.J]

Daxter had a suprised look on his face due to the Twi'lek's interjection to Naomi's statment. Of course no one would have been able to see it behind his helmets face plate.

He again ignored her, not even looking over towards the woman. " Shes got a mouth on her doesnt she? Could probably wake up a comatose bantha." Daxter then chuckled for a moment at his own joke and slapped his hand down on his armored knee. He quickly regained his composure and began speaking again.

" How much?"

 

[Arm514ve]

"My fee is eighteen thousand credits for her thirty six for both of them. Though I am willing to wave half if you can give me a tow back to coruscant the run from the Twi’lek friend’s burnt out the hyper drive." Naomi said with hope he may bite at her offer, "and if that’s not enough I'll be happy to throw in one free merc job also grant it not being a hit job on innocent life."

 

[T.J]

"Eighteen thousand? Thats practically outragous. For one person. I dont really want the other one anyway, he seems like my kind of guy." Daxter said as he stood. Halving the price still made the offer steep, considering he was taking a burden off the young captains shoulders. His voice got cold and his fists clenched.

" You'd be wise to rethink your offer. I dont think you have the...sway. In your current position." Daxter had no qualms about killing his guests. In highnsight it was probably why he didnt have many.

 

[Thecomicbookbroad]

"Hey!" Daveny shouted, throwing a bottle at Naomi's head.

" I'm not your Yobana you can't sell me!" She turned her attention to the pirate and pointed.

"and you couldn't afford me if I was!" She tilted her head, leaning her chin upward, narrowing her eyes of blood brown.

"You bet I'm gonna name my first born after you now, I'm gonna call her 'Bitch'! You might as well throw in a steaming pile of crap for free because I paid for a pilot and that's what you gave me!" she lifted an empty bottle and called

"'nother!"

 

[Arm514ve]

Naomi caught the bottle in the air, with a sigh. "Well if someone caused you trouble first thing wouldn't you try to get rid of them? Besides its not like I'm selling you to slavery, and also you're getting off from paying Me." then turned to the pirate captain, with a drop in the false politeness she was showing earlier. "I'll go as low as seven thousand for the both of them and a tow to coruscant where I'm sure the nice lady here will be happy to get us all drinks, including you're crew." Naomi said with a little devilish smile to Daveny, as a little pay back for the bottle earlier, and for calling her a bitch.

 

[T.J]

Daxter weighed the offer carefully. He could just as easily killed all of them and took their bodies to whomever wanted them, but he had been in a generous mood all week.

" Ill take your offer. But as stated before, I do not want the man. Just drop him off on Coruscant of something." He pointed twards Daveny.

" As for you. I might change my mind on giving you to those thugs.... depending on how you act on this little trip." The fatherly role Daxter got when around younger travelers had kicked in. He was giving the twi'lek an untimatum to try and keep her behavior under control.

Daxter walked over to a guard and whispered something to him, the man quickly ran off back towards the main airlock. The captain had told him to bring in the other ships umbilical and latch it directly to the ship for hyperspace. He didnt want to loose it during transit. He also informed the guard to run up to the bridge afterwards and get the gears in motion to actually go to lightspeed.

 

[Thecomicbookbroad]

Daveny softly snored in blissful slumber, her head using "Billy"'s lap like a pillow.

The bottle in her hand dropped to the floor empty as she moved to get more comfortable.

 

[T.J]

As Daxter looked back towards his group of guests, he saw that his warning to the twi'lek fell on deaf, or in this case, sleeping ears. The captain, who was now slightly annoyed, walked over to the passed out twi'lek. He snapped his fingers and extended his hand to one of the guards, who quickly handed over his blaster carbine. Daxter ignored the man who the twi'lek was using as a pillow as he hled the carbine right over her head, charging it and fireing it down the hall and away from everyone. The highpitch whine it created right next to the twi'leks head was sure to wake her.

" Do I have yur attention now missy?"
