After a quick survey of the room, Tess grabs her overly intoxicated friend by the arm, helps her to her feet, and leads the way out.

"Tess? See what I mean? You think it. It bes. I mean it happens."
To which she pointed at the two snowmen at the bar. They looked sorta douchebaggy in way. Nah. Just the lighting. Hee hee.

Terra didn't recognize the woman, though Jake and Morgan obviously knew her. She recalled Morgan speaking of Kory briefly, though she hadn't gone into very much detail at the time. It might be interesting to meet this Kory and see what all the fuss was about. Might as well see what Jake knew, since Morgan had already run off."Morgan only told me a little about her. What's she like?" Well, she's really nice, and a good fighter, and she's good to us, and really pretty, and— *Did he just say that out loud?! His face went red, again, and he stammered.*Not that I don't think you're pretty too, you are, but— *He shut up. He just stopped talking. There was no real way to salvage this at all, so it was better to just stop while he could. It wasn't exactly harmful to compliment a girl, he just wasn't quite able to deal with attention from girls or giving attention to girls just yet...* |

Wilhelm rejoined Shia, taking a hold of her hand as he lead her off the dance floor over to a table just off to the side of the room. He then waved his hand over the table top before a pair of Uj Cake's appeared

I think it's ttime for some cake!

Sinarah giggled as they proceeded to swing dance as the writer portion had not done this since she was in college. Now if only she could convince Mr. Sin to take lessons. Oh well. Jadith and Sinarah ended up splitting apart on the floor to finish the song in a choreographed tap dance duo reminiscent of something from an old Gene Kelly movie.

Enjoys this immensely as swing dancing is something that will never really go out of style, and it is fairly easy to come by lessons for a moderate fee. Also, Jadith sees Sinarah's Gene Kelly and raises her one Fred Astaire. Finally for good measure, she offers up further tribute and such for everyone's amusement. Takes a bow with Sinarah, and wanders about in search of something to drink.Over near the bar, Shiarael took the seat that Wilhelm offered her, sliding it ever so slightly closer to his than it had been before as he set two plates down for them both. She picked up a fork and cut off a bite to eat before looking over at him to see what he thought.

*Jake watched with raised eyebrows as Morgan somehow managed to knock Kory over, but they seemed fine. His attention returned to Terra when she mentioned that Morgan had talked a little about Kory, then asked what she was like. Well that was pretty easy actually.*Well, she's really nice, and a good fighter, and she's good to us, and really pretty, and— *Did he just say that out loud?! His face went red, again, and he stammered.*Not that I don't think you're pretty too, you are, but— *He shut up. He just stopped talking.

As for Kory, she seemed like a nice person, at least from what Jake had just told her. Time would tell if he was right, as Terra had never met Kory before.
She smiled."She does seem nice." |

Wilhelm smirked as Shia moved her seat closer to his as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, before using his fork to break off a piece of the cake. As he snacked on the mando delicacy, he couldn't help but wonder why he had never had this pure deliciousness before in his life. He smiled as he turned towards Shia
=Dr Wilhelm Van Buuren=
Hmm, truly remarkable... Very few things taste quite so nice...
Wilhelm then gave her a suggestive wink

As Wilhelm evidently quite liked the delicacy, she swapped plates with him, that way she'd have less overall. She pretended to not notice the wink even as she kicked his shin under the table. "Do behave for just a moment, won't you? I already won the bet...though, I'm sure something could be arranged later." She popped bite of cake in her mouth and licked the crumbs off her fork before cutting another bite.

Arcturus looked amused, and just tipped his glass at Liya. "I would say most of that analytical thinking comes from me. I specialize in illusion and telepathy...Dante learned very early on in his training to question absolutely everything he saw. He learned many a time in his training to not trust his senses or even his own mind." He looked at her quizzically at her comment of making a business relationship more complicated, but rather than say anything simply studied his glass intently and absently; Arcturus made a point to keep out of the more intimate - or lack of - affairs of his sons. A few moments had passed when Liya looked up once more, this time at Baylan. He looked startled at her question, and cleared his throat nervously. "P-Panatha? I, uh, I've never set foot on the home world. I was born on a freighter ship just leaving the planet actually. My parents talked about it a lot though...lots of jungles and stuff. When they died though, I guess I just put it out of my mind...besides, Mr. Sorrows gave me a home on Serenno." This elicited a sharp glare from Arcturus, and Baylan quickly stammered an apology. "I mean, uh, Count Sorrows was gracious enough to give me a spot in his territories as one of his citizens." This seemed to soothe things over with Arcturus, and rolling his eyes the elder master simply went back to his drink. Baylan, though, continued to stammer on. "D-did you ever see it? Panatha I mean? What's it like? If...you know...you don't mind me asking?" |

The writer just about reached through the fourth wall and smacked me square in the face for that little faux pas. It's not all about you, Liya. You're not the only Epicanthix outcast in the galaxy, and some of them might have it worse off than you've had it, on the balance. At least you got to grow up Back Home, and enjoy the great natural beauty of the planet. My eyes narrowed and softened sympathetically, even as my lips peeled back slightly, echoing the pain and embarrassment I was feeling. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to assume, or awaken bad memories." I glanced down at my drink once more, feeling awkward. I would have been amused by Arcturus' sharp, wordless correction of his disciple, if I hadn't been focused on how to remove my proverbial foot from my proverbial mouth."I was raised there, out in the farm country. I never spent a long of time down in the tropical jungles, but up in the cooler climates, the forests are absolutely beautiful." The sorrow in my voice wasn't all for Baylan, it was for me, too, and my tone and expression began to sounds and look rather distant. "I used to spend all day wandering the forest and playing in the streams as a little girl, rather than doing my farm chores or attending to my studies. It was glorious." And I never got caught, because my younger brother's machines did the chores, and my photographic memory made studying for grade school tests a breeze. But nobody cared about that part. "It was a simpler time back then. I haven't been Home in over three years, and I don't know if I ever will go back." My gaze returned from somewhere in space to Baylan, and I gave him an apologetic shrug."If you ever get the chance, go. It's magical." "Uh, don't worry about it...its not really painful, as it is, uh, embarrassing. Everyone should know their culture right? Even Dante regards Firrerre as the gem of the galaxy...and its not even around anymore. Me though? I've got nowhere that's home...absolutely nowhere. Heh." At her words though, Baylan simply nodded in agreement, standing quickly as Arcturus unexpectedly stood from his seat. Flashing Liya a quick smile, Baylan gulped the rest of his glass down before getting a few more words in. "Uh, I'll definitely go. Someday. We'll see...you know? Don't know how I feel about that. Well, uh, maybe I do. You know? I guess you could say that I - POP!!! And then he was gone, Arcturus having sent Baylan back to...who knows where...by putting his hand on the man's shoulder. With a wicked grin, Arcturus flashed a pair of fangs (elongated fangs? Omwati didn't have those.) at Liya, and gave a wink. "Boy talks too much. My apologies. Now though...it's time the Sorrows left the party. We don't stay long at these functions...we're supposed to be recluses after all. Besides the fact, I'm starving...need to go suck the life out of someone. Energy vampire, you know? This is my first form you know...Omwati gone energy vamp; first character, I mean, uh, variation that ever existed." Shrugging his shoulders at the brief lapse into the fourth wall, Arcturus grabbed several bottles of alcohol as he began to walk away. Pausing though, he called over his shoulder as he slowly began to vanish into the other world. "Get your ass back to Dante's universe, unless you want me to make an appearance in future stories to keep things interesting and moving. And believe me...that is NOT a kind of interesting you want. Just ask Jace. He knows. Oh...does he know." The threat wasn't an idle one - during Arcturus' stint as leader and corporate executive of the Techno Union, Arcturus had once run an entire battle campaign (with Jace as his general) under alcohol, while running around naked with a flamethrower, all the while calling in point turbo laser strikes on friend and foe alike. This was BEFORE things got bad; when Arcturus found the twi'lek brothel and a massive store of illegal narcotics, Jace had to intervene by literally setting up force fields to contain the ensuing chaos. Said force fields were used enough times that they were codenamed "the play pen" by Union forces...something of Jace's own creation.With a wave along the line of "toodles!" Arcturus winked, and slowly vanished from sight...probably for the better. |

As his dance ended & his partner went off to dance with the 'Emperor', Z'har Made his way over toward the bar. Spotting a familiar face, if only by the guidence of his writer, Z'har slide up next to Corr, bumping their shoulders together lightly as he sat as an informal greeting.
-Z'har
Oya Vode. Me'vaar ti gar? aliit jahaala?
(Hello, friend/brother. what's new with you? Is your clan doing well?)

A few minutes later Jadith arrived at the bar and acquired a Corellian ale with extreme dexterity. Noticing Z'har already in the vicinity, she slipped down the bar a few seats, and gently touched his arm, but otherwise did not intrude on his conversation with Corr as she sipped her drink and watched the merry-making going on around her.
"There's a fine line," Shia informed Wilhelm van Buuren archly with a wrinkled brow as she frowned at him, "between 'behaving' and 'behaving'...let's see how subtle you can be," she undermined the seriousness of what she was saying by suddenly smiling warmly at him across the table before slipping her unoccupied hand into his and lacing their fingers together.

Terra put a hand over her mouth to stifle her giggles as Jake reverted back to his usual awkwardness around females. Well that little spurt of confidence he had gained during the dance had to wear off sometime, but she had hoped it would have lasted a little longer. Poor Jake...maybe someday he'd be able to find his tongue around girls...
As for Kory, she seemed like a nice person, at least from what Jake had just told her. Time would tell if he was right, as Terra had never met Kory before.
She smiled."She does seem nice." C'mon, let's go meet her! *Jake hopped out of his chair and patiently waited for Terra to follow him before he led her over to where Morgan and Kory were. When they were close enough, Jake stopped and smiled at the woman.*Hi Kory! You look really pretty tonight. *... tomato time.* |

*Jake only nodded in response, unsure what else he could even say about her. That was pretty much it, Jake had no real stories to tell. ... well he did have stories, but not ones he was sure he wanted to tell, lest he just completely transform into a tomato then and there. So he was just going to keep quiet, and hope Kory came this way, or— Or a better idea.*C'mon, let's go meet her! *Jake hopped out of his chair and patiently waited for Terra to follow him before he led her over to where Morgan and Kory were. When they were close enough, Jake stopped and smiled at the woman.*Hi Kory! You look really pretty tonight. *... tomato time.* "OK!" She followed Jake to where Morgan and Kory were standing and she giggled again when Jake inevitably went red as a tomato. Well that was only a matter of time.
She smiled at Morgan."Care to introduce us, Morgan?" |

Wouldn't mind being charged double for Shia's company. Säpom was quite an enjoyable delicacy

It's about as subtle as I can be... my writer doesn't have a subtlety setting... it's an australian thing...

The smoke finally cleared...
Jud twitched, his body spasming as the aftershocks of pain continued to shred his nerves and barrage his sanity. The Sith put a shaking foot to the ground, tentatively putting weight on the limb and leaning hard up against the bar. His vision swam - wait - no, he was dripping... No, MELTING!!! (disclaimer: very graphic depiction. Seriously, viewer discretion advised)
Jud fumbled with this revelation, his hoarse, none existent throat giving voice to an airy hiss that might have been a scream, laugh, or just a curse. Since the man couldn't talk, he pointed to the area where he knew the lavatories were, then to his "area", then tapping the top of the bar where he'd been sitting, before giving the bartender a thumbs up. It utter determination the Venerable Sith stared at the men's room door. The will of his mind would overcome the inabilities of his body, as long as he kept his eye on the prize.
