Ask Cantonica Tracking Sleeping Beauty

[Trael Osso-Drast]

He simply watched as she made her way down the ramp. Following behind her shortly after closing up the ship. "I guess your right it would be a nice way to end a date. I wasn't mad but I don't want to go through it a second time." Looking around as they left the ship. He had been here once or twice before on business but not enough to know where everything was. "I've been here once or twice but never for fun. We should go shopping for you first. That way you can be a bit more comfortable."

He would then walk the streets of the city. They came to a market district of some kind and he looked around at the shops. He then noticed a boutique amongst the shops. "Think you could find something in there?" Pointing at the shop and walking with her to it. "I can wander around the other shops while you pick something out. How much you think you'll need for something?" Though he would never openly admit it to her his ownership of the mines has been paying rather well.

Of course he didn't want to go through with it a second time...no one would. It seemed like he was slightly concerned about that still though and she quietly reveled in the power it gave her. He might have been the force user, but at least he knew better than to mess with her.

"Business then?", she directly asked, obviously leaving out the part of her being deeply involved with dirty business on planets like Cantonica. "Shopping it is", she agreed with him, strollung alongside him while her gaze attentively scanned their environment. She wasn't a known face here, but she had stolen quite some stuff already here.

They soon approached a boutique and obviously she kept pretending she didn't know her way around, but she even knew that the chosen shop was a little fancy after all. "Why don't you go choose something for me?", she asked with a sweet smile, however it was out of tactical reasons. She wanted to keep an eye on him, he was her insurance to get off this planet after all. "You seem to know a bit about fashion", she nodded towards his casual chic outfit, "Why don't you pick something pretty for me as well?".

[Trael Osso-Drast]

Trael walked along side her staying close by but not overtly close. "It was more along the line of training." The way he said training would betray it wasn't something standard. She quickly agreed with the shopping idea unsurprisingly to the sith. He tried to remember any sights he could think of while they were walking around.

She caught him off guard asking him to choose her outfit. She even went as far to compliment his sense of fashion though Trael had been taught how to dress by his master. So following his lessons in fashion he looked her up and down and seemed to make a few mental notes. "Your going to need to come with me to try on the outfits and see how you like them." He said simply entering the store and flipping through the clothing racks. He would be mumbling to himself as he would look at different pieces of clothing.

Eventually he had pieced together three outfits. One was a comfy outfit but it was one he threw in the list to cover all the bases. The second was a more elegant yet casual outfit. The third of the options was a functional outfit that he chose knowing she carried at least darts and some serums from the morning run in hence the cargo pants. "Alright let me know which one you want to wear and if you want the others as well." He said oddly satisfied he got to use the training he was forced to endure.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

"Traning?". Fuck. So he was a Sith, she assumed, and it immediately let a wave of nervousity wash over her. She kept a straight face and tried her best to maintain composure and thus focused on the shopping part instead. "I don't want to know what you did here exactly, but just tell me one thing: Do we have to be careful about who to talk to?". What she meant was obviously 'have you fucked up here', as she simply wanted to make sure they were alright.

"Oh of course I will", the prospects of changing into something more fitting brought back her good mood right away and so she happily followed him inside the store where he started picking some first looks. She ruffled through some piles of clothes too, but as he started presenting, her eyes widened a little.

"See, you're great at this", she let out a soft chuckle before she took a closer look, trying to decide on which one would fit their perfect best. "Actually, they're all great, let me fry them on". She'd nonchalantly grab him by the wrist and pull him into the next fitting room she found and started with the comfy outfit.

"This is just perfect for a movie night", she loved the style. It was chill and ultra comfy, yet perhaps not the best for a city exploration. She went for the casual, yet elegant next and it fitted her perfectly. "That is amazing...". Her leather jacket could complement the look and she'd still have her stuff perfectly hidden.

As she tried the last outfit, she noticed that it was something out of ordinary and not at all her regular style, but it was very functional. "Damn and this is great for not drawing too much attention" - the last one would be the perfect incognito outfit, but she liked the second for their current endeavor best.

"Actually, it's this one here though I guess", she said as she changed back into the second outfit and slipped into her jacket. "What do you think?". She'd wait for his piece of mind, glancing at him expectantly.

He listened to her concerns on his training here. "Yes I trained here. Well as long as we don't run into any wealthy housewives no." He answered nonchalantly hinting at the details of his training here. Not fully catching the meaning behind her question. Though they shouldn't run into any immediate trouble.

He couldn't help but notice her expression light up when he showed her the options. He wasn't prepared for what was next as she pulled him into the fitting room. "Hey I'm not supposed to watch..." His protest trailing off as she begun changing in front of him. He simply watched as she went through the outfits. To him it seemed she was enjoying herself either she liked money being sent on her or trying on clothes.

She finally seemed to settle on an outfit. Asking his opinion, "I think they all looked great but I agree this one is the best." He stood up and went to walk out the door. "You look beautiful." He said walking out. After she gathered all the clothes she would see him at the register. "So did you find everything to your liking cutie." The clerk was checking him out in more ways than one. "Yes ma'am I did I'll be buying all of these" He was pointing out stuff from a catalogue and it was all three outfits. "Can I get these delivered to my ship dock though I'm on vacation and would like to explore the city before it gets too late." "Why certainly I can do whatever you like." She rang everything up and took down the dock information for his ship. "Would you like me to deliver myself as well?" The cashier playfully said to him as he was paying. "I'd hate for your boss to come hunting me down taking his eye candy away so I'll have to regretfully decline." He stopped at the door and waited for his date to make it out.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

"What?!", she immediately blurted out, facing him with a half incredulous, half amused look. Older men were her specialty, but she had no idea her companion was her male counterpart. Meanwhile in the shop though, the outfit choice was settled.

Maeve curiously watched the interaction between him and the clerk but didn't say a single word. The knowing smirk on her lips was all the answer he needed. She only adressed him when they walked out together, adjusting the new fit and glancing back up to him. It seemed like they shared a lot more than apparent at first glance.

"Now you've crushed my plans...the three of us would have surely had a blast", she teased, before she gave him an appreciative smile. "But thanks for your purchase...I should steal your ship more often", she then added with a wink, reveling in her new outfit. She was looking forward to the comfortable one, too, but that would come later.

"So you're always such a flirt, hm? Should I keep you leashed?", she jabbed with a playful nudge as they strolled into a random direction, however not knowing where they were even headed. "What do you feel like doing now?", they still had a few hours to kill, but Maeve was wondering how quick the delivery would go.

[Trael Osso-Drast]

He was surprised by her out burst. "What did you think all force users trained in was the force and lightsaber combat? I could show you some of the things I've been taught that isn't common for my kind if you want." Shrugging his shoulders he continued walking.

Plans, was she willing to partake with another? "So do you want me to go back and change her plans? I wouldn't recommend doing it out of habit next time you might be the one paralyzed." He smirked looking down as she seemed to enjoy her outfit. At least he got one thing right today.

He audible gasped as she called him a flirt and mentioned leashing him. "I'll have you know she was flirting with me. Also I'm not a dog I prefer being the one holding the leash." Acting as if he was hit by a small force push as she jabbed him. Looking at her with surprise and shock. "Did you fail to tell me your a force user?" He smiled as he lead her towards the main section of the town. "Well it seems we have a bit of time before it gets late we could go explore the sights before we hit the casino to end the night. Unless you want to go straight to the casino?" Their path would lead them to the casino or an area where a river drops into the sea at a waterfall

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

Not common for his kind? This... was getting very interesting. "Now that sounds spicy. I'm hooked", she gave him a playful wink, however still suffocating the inner nervousity. She was simply wary of force users and this would probably never change, but she had learned that learning more about it often helped.

"Oh is that so? No...you know what? I'll rather keep you for myself". She neither wanted drama, nor complications, even if it would be fun. "Where's your leash then?", their playful banter continued and she gave him a suggestive smirk while they walked along the main road.

As she kept pretending she didn't know anything here, she feigned pondering on the options. "Let's stop by sights...I want to see a bit of this planet", she relied with a smirk after a moment, expectantly glancing up at him to lead the way. "What is there to see? And what are you usually gambling with in casinos?", she didn't take him for a sabacc guy, but maybe black jack was his thing. "If we go gambling later, can you use the Force to well...change the odds?".

[Trael Osso-Drast]

As he turned a corner he used force cloak. Kate would notice when she turned the corner her date was gone as if he vanished to the wind. He would reappear behind her, "Boo!" If she turned around to him he would have the biggest shit eating grin. Falling in beside her. "Keep me for yourself? Do I get a say in this? My leash is on the ship. Did you not see it while snooping around?"

He began thinking of his training. "I know a sight though it is out of the city a bit." He would offer his hand and began leading her through the city streets. They would eventually be outside the city walking along the beach. As the went along it she would hear the rushing of water and see a small rainbow in the distance. As they approached the sounds, a waterfall came into view. "While I was on the planet I spent a lot of time out of the city so I've seen a lot of the natural sights."

He would then walk towards the waterfall and freeze part of it and break it off. It would then melt in his hand as a flame emerged. "I came here to learn how to manipulate the elements better though I can't do it as well as I do telekinetics." He would then hold out his hands as he walked into the waterfall. She would see the water part around him as if it was hitting a wall. He would then jump out of the water as it came crashing down.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

Maeve kept trailing along side him, getting more and more used to her new outfit and already drawing attention of a group of men who walked past. Maeve was about to turn to ask him something, but he suddenly disappeared and for a moment, she was really confused.

He suddenly reappeared and gave her a literal heart attack that made her jump back. "Are you...for real". Now that was creepy as hell, but the shock immediately turned into a chuckle. As he suddenly mentioned the leash, she was trying to tell whether he was joking, but it literally dawned her that she had spotted a leash...in the bedroom. Together with some other interesting equipment. It had drawn a high chuckle from her yesterday in her hazy state, but now it was intriguing her more - perhaps she'd still have a really good time here.

"That's the whole point of it, you're not getting a say in it...and kriff yeah, I remember", she then gave him a suggestive smirk, her heart however still racing from his jump scare. "Oh that's actually pretty", she had to admit as they did reach the waterfall, but I wasn't like she could enjoy the view for long.

She watched his display of him messing with the elements and while it freaked her out a lot, she actually also found it relatively amazing. "That...is something", from Karys she had learned that such things were possible, but as she still found it so unpredictable, she prefered to keep her distance. "So you could also be a party magician", she couldn't help but to tease, still she kept her safe distance. "Isn't using the force draining?".

@Javier esschoolbus

 

[Trael Osso-Drast]

She jumped back and he realized he may have taken it a bit to far. "What I thought you were hooked in? If not I can tone it down some. Well that's a change I normally get a say this might get interesting." She complimented the waterfall as they arrived.

As he left the water he heard her comment about being a magician. She than quickly followed up asking about if using the force is draining. "A party magician huh? Might be a good source of money if I do that on the side. It's draining depending on the usage of the force and the power of the user. For instance someone who is a just beginning to learn the force would be drained quicker than someone who has more experience." He simply shrugged as he made his way next to her.

"Want to continue visiting the sites. I'll stop using the force if it is bothering you." Though to many he seemed to be a mind reader he simply was just able to sense the emotions of others. He just stood there staring at the waterfall enjoying the peacefulness of the area. He crouched down and begun messing with the sand remembering his training in this spot. Both his actual acolyte training and his masters special training sessions.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

She chuckled along with his comment, however gestured dismissively as he suggested cutting the Force use in total. "It's fine if you don't use it on me...it's just hard to grasp for someone who isn't capable of manipulating it". She vaguely shrugged before she marveled at the waterfall for another moment.

She then learned something more about the Force and intently listened, however it was still a concept that was hard for her. "Yeah, maybe you should try it", she gave him a smirk as she started walking again. "Yeah, let's maybe had to the Casinos...I've heard they are pretty awesome", she replied and looked around, however obviously needing him to show her where to go.

"So are we playing some good old poker?", she suggested with a smirk, throwing him a smirk. If he was capable of telekinesis, other games surely would prove even more fun.

@Javier esschoolbus

 

[Trael Osso-Drast]

He began acting like he was thinking, “I can’t use it on you? That takes away some of the fun for later. I guess that’s a sacrifice we both have to make,” A sigh escaping him. He kept looking at the waterfall as he spoke. It was one of the few locations he could still his mind.

She listened intently to his breakdown of the force. Slightly reminding him of the acolytes at Umbara any time he would help another sith with lessons or got bored and trained the students randomly. He could only roll his eyes as she doubled down on her insistence on him becoming a magician.

She suggested the casino, it seems their escapade outside of the city had ended. He started walking towards the town. “They can be fun yes. Let’s go there then.” He lead her back into the city. Turning to look at her as she asked what game they would play. “Are you suggesting that I cheat using my unfair advantage? I’m ashamed you would assume I need to do so.”

They shortly came to the casino’s entrance it was full of hustle and bustle. While Ruby had men gawking at her the inverse was happening for Trael women were waving and calling him over. A mischievous smirk came across his face as he turned to Ruby and pulled her in. Giving her a passionate kiss before grabbing her hand and leading her in. “Let’s go have some fun now.”

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

As he replied, she had to admit that his sudden assertiveness surprised her. It suddenly seemed like this day would be much more fun than intended, and she immediately met his gaze again. "Those rules don't apply to the bedroom, obviously. It would be a shame to miss out on it".

The truth was, she was terrified of the thought, but obviously, her body betrayed none of it. There was an unexplainable thrill to it and she had gathered her admittedly exhilarating experiences with it all ready, yet of him she was simply way too wary. Even if he had proven himself to be a nice person so far, she knew that force users could loose control and this, she absolutely didn't intend to witness if things got too heated.

They started moving towards the casino and even if she had her favorite place, she obviously trusted him to lead them to whichever he prefered. "What? Can you manipulate odds and random luck, too?", she asked, obviously knowing the Force didn't work like that.

The rest of the short walk was uneventful, but she wasn't really prepared for this passionate kiss he suddenly, without any warning, pulled her into. There it was. The certainty she had needed about how he was unpredictable ans impulsive, and even if her smirk betrayed nothing, her mind was busy assessing the situation.

She had to stay very careful, but she kept playing along effortlessly from the outside. "Wow...someone can't wait to be back later", she teasingly said to him as she was dragged along behind him, her gaze scanning for open tables that were still looking for players. She found one and nodded towards it, saying, "there are some roulette tables...we need coins first though".

@Javier esschoolbus

 

[Trael Osso-Drast]

Trael was surprised by her openly admitting to her wanting more than just a ride off the planet. Though it was something he was partly expecting from earlier on the ship. “Well then at least I’ll get to show you some more tricks it seems.” A wide smirk forming.

He couldn’t help but chuckle at her question though he doubted someone who had witnessed some force use be so unknowing it was fun to tease. “Not only that I can also change the cycle of the seasons if I so wished.” His voice betrayed the obvious lie as they walked. It was interesting to find someone without the force that could keep him intrigued must normal people bored him. Not her though for one she was inquisitive which meant she wasn’t as dumb as she tried to play.

After his kissed her she playfully teased him. “It’s not that I just enjoy making people jealous of what they can’t have.” She would notice the groups of men and women all looking upset over the kiss, staring daggers into the people. Was Trael impulsive very much so but not violently, well typically. As they walked in Ruby pointed out the roulette tables being open. “Go take a seat and I’ll be over there with some coins shortly.” Though he knew he was her ticket out he still enjoyed the idea of testing her.

Either she would follow him to ensure her ride stayed or trust him and wait. Her leaving him with the crowd was unlikely in his mind but not impossible so as he went to get the coins he kept an eye on her. If she would stay he would come back with a large amount of coins. Enough to play for a couple hours even if he lost every bet.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

She knew the part about the seasons was a lie, yet she dramatically feigned shock for effect. "Wow, I'm on a date with a God then", she remarked, hooking her arm with his while a chuckled escaped her, skillfully continuing to play along. He then openly kept flirting, his intentions still seeming genuine and thus she threw a group of men to her left a provocative wink.

She knew they'd be gawking at the next woman just a few minutes later, so for them, she was simply another pretty face in a crowd. She thus playfully added, "Mhh, so you like to stir some pots". It was a subconscious test and she watched his reaction closely, knowing if he was too much of a troublemaker she'd have to control him, but to her he seemed more like a teaser who loved subtle provocations every now and then, so nothing that would actually threaten her plan of keeping a low profile.

He instructed her to take a seat and even if she complied with a smirk, it was incredibly hard for her to place her trust in the unpredictable stranger. If he left right now, she'd have quite some issues and she absolutely wasn't in the mood to have her plans crossed like that, but she forced herself to even refrain from watching him and thus focused her attention onto the people around her.

After she had done some classic smalltalk and assessed her competition, Victor suddenly rocked up next to her again, a huge bag of coins in his hands. Well, so he wasn't playing her at least. "Damn...seems like you're ready for a good time", she was, too, for now she was truly ready for some casino fun, and she knew he was a valuable asset as through subtle manipulations of the Force, he might help them a little. The first round commence and as she met his gaze again, she said, "I've got a feeling it's black this time", waiting for his assessment.

@Javier esschoolbus

 

[Trael Osso-Drast]

Trael smirked as she asked about him stirring the pot. “As long as it doesn’t boil over it’s fun to stir the pot, but if it does boil over I like to put a lid on it as quickly as I can.” He didn’t lie although more likely than not his luck caused it to boil over.

He came back with the coins and she was still waiting for him. He smirked as he sat down and looked at the listing of the last numbers that hit. The table had been heavily favoring red. So in agreeance with his date he made three bets. One for blacks, one for 17 black his favorite number, and the final bet on the 2nd 12.

As the balled rolled and rolled it eventually landed on…. 0 he lost. He looked over to his date, “Well my luck seems to be rotten today. Why don’t you make the next bet?” Handing her a handful of coins to bet with. As he seemed to stare at the wheel. “I hope your luck is better sweetie.” Though he lost a sizable chunk of money he still wasn’t at the point of cheating. He didn’t see the point if he was just here to enjoy himself, but giving her some money to potentially stop robbing from dangerous men for a little bit maybe a good reason to.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

So he was one to at least suffocate the flames he had caused? Perhaps some good news. She was one to always plan ahead carefully and so she was no stranger to calculating risks and consequences and dealing with them accordingly. She accepted the answer for now, however dearly hoped it wouldn't come to any drama in here.

Victor placed the first bets and lost all of them, which drew a sympathetic hiss from her. It was just the first round, but it was a little frustrating. He offered her to take on the next bet, and she gratefully reached for some coins before she placed her bets: black and the number 20. She left it at that and eagerly watched it spin, holding her breath for a moment.

The table had once again favored red again, and as if someone was manipulating the game, the ball ended up in 0 again. This...was rigged for sure. Maeve spotted bs and fraud when she saw it, and so she grabbed his hand. "Luck isn't with us here....let's try something else". It would only frustrate her further to stay, so she was eager to try their luck some place else.

@Javier esschoolbus

 

[Trael Osso-Drast]

After he lost his bets Ruby was given a chance at the game. He watched the ball spin and spin only to land on 0 again. He couldn't help but laugh as she got frustrated when she lost. She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the table. As she was leading him away he stopped, "Wait, a poker spot just opened up lets go over there." He would then lead her towards the table if she followed him.

Taking the seat he way put up just over the minimum amount of the required chips. As the round begun he was dealt pocket 6s, good he started with a pair. The card were laid out one round at a time till it was the final round. The pot was worth about as much as he bought in with. Once the dealer closed out the final round and instructed the final players to lay out there cards Trael had won a split pot. Taking half of the winnings in the pot another player taking the other half. "Well it seems we may be lucky here. Do you want to go a hand or do something else? I'll give you some more coins to gamble with and we can meet up at the food area in an hour." Looking up at Ruby from his seat.

@LadyRen

 

[Maeve]

Maeve watched the roulette attendee's smirk turn into a slightly more mischievous one that told her she wasn't so far off with her thesis. Knowing when to spot bs, she was convinced he was cheating and so she was ready for something else. As Victor suggested poker, Maeve's gaze immediately settled on the table.

"Perfect". Perhaps there they'd have more luck. He immediately got into the game and Maeve watched his hand with a perfect pokerface. The Chargrian next to him was nervous, so she was convinced he was bluffing, however he kept calling. In the end he did lose, quite a bit even, while the Twi'Lek next to them one the other half of the pot which was at least some improvement.

"Maybe I'm your lucky charm...while don't you try again? We could do some betting afterwards...don't they offer races, too?", Maeve suggested after having walked by a screen just minutes earlier. They had Fathier races, for example, and there was something about a droid fight that also sounded fun, but she was sure she prefered not splitting up in this place as there was conning lurking behind every corner and he'd probably kept her from most shenanigans for now.

"Alternatively we could also start our own little game at your ship...", Maeve's smirk widened as she threw him a seductive wink. She was in a great mood and ready to have some more fun, too. It was his call entirely, after all he kept sponsoring this trip.
