Fel was in the process of getting to his feet when the question was asked. Didn't make any sense to him. He almost didn't answer it, but turned to exit the office. He was stopped by something from his past. Maybe the possibility of making some money? Maybe the idea that deep down, he was still a smuggler and was always looking for the better deal? In any case, he almost didn't stop. But he did, maybe for old times' sake.
No payment here, Gaia. I was given a ship to accomplish these tasks. No more, no less. It is not expected that we will survive to the completion of the assigned tasks anyways, so the ship... and her contents, are expendable. I am supplied so the tasks may be accomplished. And yes, I am free from prison. That is all the payment I need or expect.
He made for the door, descending the staircase. If she followed, so be it. If not, he didn't care. He had his orders and his destination. One trip down, and the next looming large. After the next one, and the one after that, and another fifteen after that... maybe he'd see his chance. Maybe he'd find them.
Or maybe he'd be dead, and none of it would matter.
He walked across the warehouse, taking note of the slaves assembling the four crates ready for his pick-up.
-----------------------------------------------------
Melia arrived at the small man-door at the walled entrance. The much larger vehicular doors were closed. She unslung the E-11 and used the stock to clang against the door once, twice, three times.

Melia moves her eye away from the scope and sets the rifle in the dirt and rolls onto her back, face pointed at the sky. Fel wasn't making things easy, as was his way. And she understood. She thinks about Taung, while the Twi' woman's voice comes thru the comm unit in her earpiece. Come in? Come in? Every fibre of her being screams out that there is nothing worse she could do. Give away her position? Take eyes off the target? Questions raced through her mind. Who was pulling the strings here? Who was Bateman? Was this still an Imp front? And Taung... what had become of Taung? She closed her eyes, momentarily paralyzed by indecision. She took a deep breath.
Roger. ETA four minutes. Out.
She left the rifle, covering it with her dustcloak, and pulled her macrobinocs down to hang around her neck. Covering as much of her face and head as possible to protect against the wind and dust with her keffiyeh, she moves off toward the gate of the compound, her two DC-17 pistols holstered at her sides, and the E-11 slung at the small of her back.
Inside the office, Fel grimaced behind the face-plate. This was really dropping their pants, figuratively speaking. Still, he held no sway over Mel, he knew this, and she was free to do as she pleased, or whatever she felt was right given the circumstances.
No, I'm fully prepped. Are we done here? As you've mentioned, there are places I should be getting to. Wouldn't want to keep tophat waiting.

Most likely to seek adventure, but keep roots to remember where you call home.

Dear JvS, The Hall of Fame is back and open for business. First priority is the nomination of a 'Class of 2014.' Alas, we had some truly remarkable writers move on in 2014, and the Hall of Fame is our way of honoring their endeavors and the quality of their contributions to the site over the years. In order for this to be a fitting tribute and to properly showcase the writers, here's how this is going to go down: the Council have been discussing the HoF for a little while, and have come up with a few names that will be nominated. Those individuals are: Eralem, Sinistra, Dunta Coral, and Dav Man'SellWe would also like to hear from the writers on JvS. I'd like to get an additional four names to comprise the Class of 2014. So please, if you know there's a worthy candidate that needs to be nominated, please fill out the following little form, and send it to a HoF staff member. Nominees will be compiled until 1/30/15, at which time nominees will be selected via poll: top four nominees by number of votes will be selected for addition to the HoF. In addition, each of the pre-selected candidates will have their very own personal thread created. (Nominees selected via poll will have their personal thread created after polls close.) If you knew this person well, had any interaction with them at all, or even heard vague rumors about the mysterious goings on around them, please feel free to relate them. Amusing anecdotes are welcome, but please confine things to the realm of reality. Outright falsehoods will get you labeled as a troll (more on that later) so if you have a particularly nasty alternate character interpretation, it would behoove you to have some links to back it up. There are some general ground rules. Discussions and differing points of view are expected. We'd be amazed if at least one of our nominees isn't considered an utter rodder in some quarters. There's nothing wrong with that. No one is going to get along with everyone. Failing to frame your opinions in a respectful manner, however, will get you labeled as a troll. We also ask that you keep on topic. Each thread is nominee-specific, and discussion of other topics is strictly forbidden. It's disrespectful to the nominee. For those that do manage to piss off the HoF staff by hiding under bridges and attacking random goats and whatnot, expect your posts to start vanishing. Keep it up and you'll lose posting privileges. Do something really naughty and you'll face the wrath of the Whills. We'll give you a heads up if you start to stray too near the line, so there really are no excuses for uncouth behavior. This discussion board has the potential to provide a wealth of data and insight, and will hopefully help us all realize the impact our nominees had on the site. We thank you for your help from the bottom of our hearts or nearest equivalent circulatory organ. THE RULES:
- Nominations must only be submitted for retired characters. Active characters are ineligible. Whills are, at this time, ineligible.
- Multiple nominations are allowed. This means that you can submit more than one nomination and a character can be nominated more than once (not by the same player).
- Self nominations are under no circumstances permitted.
- If you have a legitimate dispute of a nomination send a private message to a Hall of Fame staff member.
- Required fields are in yellow, and all must be filled out in order for to be eligible.
- These rules are subject to change at the administrators discretion.
Nomination: (Name of the character being nominated) Writer's name(s): (If applicable. For factions give character names, not necessary if the writer is the actual nominee.) Date Started: (Can be anything from the exact date to the year.) Date Retired: (Can be anything from the exact date to the year.) Reason for Submission: (Why the person is a good fit for the Hall of Fame?) Accomplishments and Contributions: (What have they done on or for JvS? Were they a councilor? An arena champion or ranked combatant? A faction leader? etc.) Experience on Jedi vs Sith: (A brief summary of their history on JvS) RP Examples: (Add a few standout posts) Any Additional Information: (Use this to tell us about them or any other important information) Thank you for your help and participation, Jedi vs Sith Hall of Fame Staff.

Fel furrowed his brow behind the visor. But he did not move, flinch, or hesitate.
I've lost an eye. Can't say I recommend it. Though I've never scooped my new one out. That's a hell of a party trick. pause Speak your mind. She's been listening this whole time. But I don't give out codes, nor do I provide privacy. You want to say something, say it. She'll hear you, and can reply as she sees fit.
Something tells me, if you were really in charge, or acted with Bateman's full approval, you'd already have ways of contacting "your agent." And just so that we're clear... your threats against me will gain you absolutely nothing. Go on, Mel.
Melia's voice came through the vocoder. It was colored by the vocal filters applied to the standard-issue Stormtrooper helmet, but it would be obvious to Gaia that this was no longer the same person speaking.
I'm here. Sit-rep: Eyes on your compound. Thermo image of you and the package. I stand ready. Over.

This is just my opinion, but if it was weekly, I wouldn't be able to make many of these awesome events. Bi-weekly is about right. Allows for some planning and fore-thought, but not to the extent that a monthly event would get planned to death.
Basically, enough time for the host planet / Councilor to get a map or set of circumstances or framework planned, advertise ahead of time (especially if it's same time every two weeks...) and drum up interest. Not so much time that it basically becomes a planned, closed RP.

Hello Great and Powerful Whills,
I was asked by Adrien Draykon before his (temporary?) departure to carry on the Hall of Fame.
I have been preparing for a "class of 2014" but I do not have admin rights or thread creation rights on the HoF board. (I believe only Reign does.)
I would like to be able to add and edit threads and contents on the Hall of Fame board if you think it wise, and good.
Humbly,
Fel

If Silas had known about the collars previously, the process would have been slightly different, but not the outcome. Slaves are being freed here. Just need to tap Connie's knowledge, right 'mechanic?'

I liked it, quite a lot. A little silly, but just what the Doctor ordered. Quid Pro Quo and such. Earlier public announcement? Prizes? Promise of nudity?

A suggestion: can the sithies awards for 2014 look a little more like the 2011 awards? Easier to add to your profile, etc.

Fel smiled at the club's card, slid it up his forearm gauntlet and pressed a short series of buttons on the forearm plate, activating the comm system as he walked up the stairs to the Red Bitch's office.
Melia, keep eyes on, I'll be out shortly and I'd prefer to not be followed. Over.
Leaving the comm channel open so that Mel could hear the extent of the next exchange, Fel activated the vocoder and replied to Gaia.
Questions: Is four crates what Bateman is expecting, or am I pissing off my employer by arriving short-handed, just because some Twi' slave on a power trip decides that's what I deserve? Because I wasn't told exactly what to bring away from this little rock, and you had better give me the shipment that Bateman expects, or I'll be sure to redirect his anger toward you. ...no offense.
He watched her, watched the gun under the table, went back to watching her for a reaction.
If you're interested in my 'girlfriend,' I'm sorry to disappoint you, but she's a long, long way from here. If you're referring to my shadow, what would you like to know? She's a little... busy. But I can relay a message.

Again, gotta be the Red Shift. (Note, much of the awesomeness at the Red Shift occurred before the bar had its own thread, in the 'Skip One' thread.)
