*The home of Gyselle Swallows and her elicit board gaming operation.*
Sangria and Sin was a sprawling mansion adorned in folds of wine colored velvet and gold brocade furniture. There were vast couches arranged around tables so that the visitors of the establishment could be comfortable when partaking in the games Gyselle offered.
Upstairs, there were rooms with posh beds and giant bathtubs were there to be reserved for the evening.
Service droids buzzed about to serve drinks and food at the request of Gyselle's beloved clientele. Her staff, all former slaves that she rescued from a lifetime of servitude, lounged around the rooms, waiting to be asked to play.
Gyselle was a very busy lady, making sure her place ran smoothly, with the help of her loyal assistant Eli.
Sangria and Sin was always busy. Business people, bounty hunters and rouges often stopped for respite.

Cuyan easily navigated the teeming Wet Deck, finding Sangria and Sin without incident. One could hardly miss the place, it's mansion front of mahogany was out of place yet strangely perfect in this place. He drove the sled around to what he assumed was the delivery entrance, and pressed the bell to let them know he was here, turning his armored face into what he assumed was a holocam so as to let them get a good look.
::This is Cuyan Skirata, with your delivery.::
Cuyan looked around him, his helmet HUD scanning the environment, noting that Lynris and Eshana had followed him, but he said nothing. He wasn't much concerned, they were grown women, and they should learn to stalk more silently. He made a mental note to take the whole band hunting. Up near Kyrimorut, on the old Skirata lands, where his father had taught him and Brynden.
They could all use the sharpening, even me.

Gyselle was sat at her desk drinking her tea that Eli had just brought her.
"Domina, the liquor delivery has been made. Is there anything you would like me to do for you now?" Gyselle smiled up at the man. He stood tall and broad in front of her, her most loyal companion and employee.
"Yes, Eli, Please locate who made the delivery and invite them in for a hot meal and a drink before they are off again. It's the least we can do." Gyselle was always making sure to take care of her business associates as best she could. It made for even better business connections.
"Yes Domina, I will take care of it." and he turned and quickly moved out of her office to do her bidding.
"He's such a good boy." She said to herself as she went back to her books. It had been a very good week for board games. She sat back with her tea mug in hand and smiled. Today would be a good day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eli picked up his data pad and sent a message to the delivery dock.
[ Please invite the delivery person in for a complimentary meal and drink before they go. ]
Eli looked around the room to make sure everything was running smoothly. He took pride in his work and took pride in making Domina's life easier. The main game room was buzzing with activity. It was a busy day at Sangria and Sin.

Eshana started getting a little suspicious of things when Cuyan kept passing all of the obvious places to eat and entertain oneself on what she supposed was the Wet Deck. But he was still on delivery, so she told herself that the goods had to be for one of the ritzier, or more private members of their clientele. But when she caught sight of the elaborate mansion that ended up being their de facto leader’s destination, her suspicions only grew. There was something about the place that just screamed that it was entirely unsuitable for the young mirialan that accompanied her.
So, as Cuyan disappeared into the establishment, Eshana reached out to hold Lynris back. “Maybe we should leave Cuyan to his own devices here, Lynris,” she suggested. “We’ve passed plenty of good-looking places to eat on our way here, and this place looks like it’s a little… out of our price range anyway.”
It was a vague excuse, but hopefully Lynris would accept it and leave it at that.
The girl was old enough to make her own decisions, sure, but there were some things that could wait a little longer to be discovered.

When the door opened, Cuyan was faced with a tall man, near as tall as his father had been, but not built as powerfully as Reyn or even Cuyan himself. Still, he was attractive, and Cuyan briefly considered what flavor he may be interested in for his entertainment, before continuing his business. He spoke, his voice distorted slightly by his helmet, but his northern mandalorian accent was clear.
"I have your delivery. Papuur'gal, ne'tra gal, narcolethe, tihaar, and kri'gee, You must get bold sorts here."
When the man offered him a drink and food, Cuyan nodded, It would be good to eat something besides haarshun and gihaal, the better foods having run out.
"Lead the way burc'ya. I have some time."
Cuyan's HUD registered the girls standing far back, seemingly unsure if they would follow or not. He chuckled to himself, surveying the man who had introduced himself as Eli, and followed behind him, pulling the repulsor sled behind him.
Well, we'll see how the day goes, can't have my saber rusting in it's scabbard after all.
The delivery door closed behind him, and Cuyan entered the mansion.

Lynris eyeballed the restaurant's as her and Eshana walked the same way as Cuyan. The smells were enticing, though some were not. Lyn did not care either way, as long whatever she put in her mouth tasted good. Sometimes travelling even taste did not matter as long as it filled the stomach.
Lynris was not paying too much attention to actually following Cuyan until Eshana had stopped them. JD let out a weird chirp. She glanced up at the building he had entered and she furrowed her dark brows in confusion.
Oh.
She felt her face flush when she realized where they were though she wasnt sure why, it did not bother her. Still, she looked away and gave a forced laugh from embarrassment.
"This was not, uuh, my best idea I've had. Clearly." Lyn said and there was a soft but awkward pause before she let out another laugh. This time it was girlish and full, laughing at the weird situation she had gotten them in.
"Maybe The Mad Mythosaur is a better idea? Though perhaps you should be making the decisions this time."
She paused once more and looked at Eshana and grinned playfully. "That is unless you're wanting to stay but I'm getting actual food."

Gyselle came out of her office, just off the main ballroom. The game tables were active earlier than normal, which made her very happy. Her service droids were buzzing around filling drink orders and bringing food to her patrons. The smell of today's meal tickled her nose and made her smile. Chef was one of the best and she was so grateful to have her.
The Domina saw a group of Mandalorians making their way across the room, led by Eli. They must have provided the transport for her liquor order. She knew many a Mando in her time... Corr Vhett spent many nights in her establishment. She missed his insanity and antics. She smiled to her self, primped her hair and smoothed her dress before she made her way to the table where Eli was seating her guests.
"Welcome to Sangria and Sin. I'm the owner and proprietor, Gyselle Swallows. I truly appreciate you delivering my liquor order. My patrons will be very happy. Please, anything on the menu, drinks, companions... whatever you want. It's my token of appreciation. Please, enjoy!"

Cuyan turned to see the proprietor of this establishment, a handsome and clearly sensuous woman of middle years, who introduced herself as Gyselle Swallows. At her warm welcome he nodded respectfully, before taking off his helm. His was not a handsome face, his left eye ruined by the bite of a vibroaxe, and his features craggy, his non-human parentage clear to see. His hair was black, streaked thoroughly with gray and braided, and his beard cut close so as not to interfere with the wearing of his helm. His remaining eye was an emerald green, and he spoke to her in heavily accented basic, sprinkled with mando'a..
"Kote gar, bal gar aliit. I am Cuyan aliit Skirata. It is my pleasure to meet you Lady Swallows. I have heard of you, from ner'vod Corr aliit Vhett. I hope that you and your patrons enjoy my drinks, and I thank you for the swift and painless transfer of credits to my aliit. Your generous hospitality and the equally generous spirit of your veriduure are famed across the stars."
Cuyan's eye searched over her, her ample charms as appealing as those of Eli, and as any representative of the dozen species represented in her employ.
"Who would you recommend, my lady, if i may be so bold as to ask?"

A presence not truly felt in the galaxy for what felt like decades formed in the center of the main foyer. Iniquitous. Still dead. Still a little confused as to what drew him here. Wherever here was.......He glanced around at the opulence and mentally shrugged. As always his long black long coat was immaculate as ever. kind of a perk of being dead, your clothes never wrinkled. He foreswore the usual Sith hooded garb as garish and boring years ago. the purple Arkanian dragons on his lapels almost sparkled, his purple eyes gleamed.
"Why in the force am I here?"
his tri-tone voice seemed to echo and swallow sound all at once. He was just being dramatic at this point.

In the midst of his meeting with Gyselle, the Rock's alarms began to sound. Kaine's voice could be heard from the comms, imploring those who could to fight back, and those who couldn't to take shelter and be out of their way. "Forgive me, my lady, but they are playing my song. Refreshment shall have to wait. Keep low, get to safety." Cuyan put his helmet on just in time for the doors to burst open and blaster bolts to lance through, missing him by far, though taking out a hapless server droid behind the bar. At the first crack of fire he had drawn both of his long heavy blasters and started walking toward the door, putting two quick shots from his right hand into the first men to enter. A well aimed shot caught his armor, but he snapped his left hand over and drilled the Tognath between the tubes, dropping him like a sack of grain. Just then, an explosion of light and noise filled the room, but Cuyan's automated filters protected his hearing and sight from the flashbang.
Which was fortunate, for the flashbang was followed by a howling roar and the sound of a massive body charging him. Eight feet all, and four across the shoulders, swinging a large ryyk blade in each hand, came the form of a wookiee berserker.
Well this is a treat...
Cuyan ducked the first swing, but the second caught him in his armored stomach, sending him stumbling. It was always hard to appreciate how strong wookiees were until one hit you. Cuyan dodged back and spun with the momentum, holstering his blasters and flashing both his beskad and kal from their sheaths and gliding into shatual stance, beskad leading, and kal held back in defense.
Dance with me death, I am ready.

Cuyan ducked under another blow from the enraged wookiee, and stepped in close, catching the backswing on the flat of his beskad. Seeing his opening, Cuyan's kal arm lashed forward and down with Striking Stathas , biting deep behind the wookiee's right knee and cutting through the muscles there. With a howl, the berserker fell to one knee, and with his beskad no longer locked with the ryyk blade, Cuyan coolly drew his saber across the warrior's throat.
The big wookiee died gurgling, and Cuyan took one of his blades as a trophy, then called back to Gyselle. "Sorry about the mess, my lady. May I trouble you to keep my sled here until I can retrieve it? There's killing that needs doing."
Cuyan sheathed his kal, drawing one blaster and securing the ryyk blade in it's scabbard on his hip, and then he stalked out into the Wet Decks proper.

Archais stepped into the Sangria and Sin and remarked at the atmosphere. He'd spent more than his fair share in the odd tavern from the Core to the Outer Rim, but they'd been metallic surfaces and sharp corners. This had a more rounded feel, wooden upholstery, golden ornamentation, and had the feel of a planetside estate versus a spaceborne establishment. It was a distinctly homely feeling, which served well to mask the carnal pulse he felt on the air. There was more than met the eye to this place, although he had more pressing concerns facing him at present.
He strode the bar rail, grabbing an empty seat and slapping his credit chit on the surface in front of him before waving a hand to the bartender. He coughed a moment before remembering to direct the Force to his vocal chords and called out.
=Archais= "Something hot to eat and a drink, friend. Need to see someone about a ship to the Raxus system."

A friendly brunette with a warm smile brought him a serving of the day's special and a cool shig, setting them both in front of him. She turned her back to him to take retrieve a data cylinder, pressing it into the Rock's network. She pulled a copy of the shipping manifests of all the outbound vessels. At least one of them was a cuke shipment to Raxus, and that bit of information was highlighted. Sinistra read the ping from her asset at Sangria, and weighed the value of the information to get this dark soul to his destination. She let her know to keep her informed.
With a smooth movement, the bartender laid down a napkin, silverware, and the data cylinder that would give the man the name of the Sweet Slice, a freighter docked with the Rock right now, and headed to Raxus as a port of call. With a nod and a smile, she turned to fill a waitress' drink order. Kel Sentriss

Archais takes to the offered food and drink with gusto, recalling that it had been a long few weeks on meager ships' rations following a years-long drift in the carbonite. The moment the smell of the day's special hit him, he nearly attacked the plate and savored the hearty mouthful followed by a cool drink with a tea-like flavor, which he found to pair particularly well. He turned to offer the bartender a word before realizing she'd already drifted off - but not before leaving a data cylinder at his plate.
Re-asserting his table manners now that the immediacy of his hunger was satisfied, he wiped at his mouth and sipped at the drink again before taking the data cylinder and inserting it into his datapad's port. After taking a moment to load, the screen displayed a list of details regarding a freighter that was docked at the station - apparently called "The Rock" - and would be departing in short order with a scheduled stop at Raxus Prime.Convenient, that, he thought.After seeing to the last of his meal, Archais pushed the credit chit forward and departed the bar, bound for near where he'd arrived on the station just a scant hour previously. He noted a being he wasn't familiar with walking the same direction, and opted to strike a conversation.=Archais= "Hail, friend - you wouldn't know the location of an outfitter on this station? A weaponsmith, perhaps?"

*Avarath, tailed by a short togorian with sleek and silky black fur, wandered into the Sangria and Sin. Today was a more lucid of her days. While still barefoot, she managed to have actual clothing on her person. Otto had helped her tame the green mane of her hair. Green once more as she had been able to cultivate and nourish her symbiotes while she was in stasis between Thyferra and the Rock.
She looked around the brothel and pondered why she had come to this area of the station of all places. It did not seem that Aydyn was here. She shrugged and took a seat in a large cushioned chair next to the stage. Her togorian companion took the opportunity to curl up in her lap, purring mightily. Avarath gave him an affectionate scratch behind the ears. He made a good pet. Emotional support animals? Possibly a better fitting title for the creature.*

=Archais= "Hail, friend - you wouldn't know the location of an outfitter on this station? A weaponsmith, perhaps?" Mij had been sent to retrieve deliveries that Cuyan had been forced to leave unattended by the attack. He was pushing the repulsor sled on his way to the mythosaur and the covert, when a white haired human addressed him. Mij had come from a clan that had been prominent under the New Mandalorian administration, and while enthusiastic, was no real warrior, and so found his place on Kara'yaim as an extra pair of hands for any task.=Mij the Intern="Su'cuy! I do actually. Cuyan, he's sort of the chief for our sort of clan. He is currently wrapped up in a boarding action, but I'll take you to where you can meet him.

Archais offered a nod in response to the excitable being. Enthusiastic help was always a convenience, even if it usually incurred some manner of debt in the long run.
More notable was the subtext of the being's brief comment. While he didn't recognize the name Cuyan, he'd picked up enough language over his three decades to recognize the Mandalorian greeting and reference to a clan. There was a Mandalorian presence on this station, then - access to good weapons and equipment, and muscle, but they tended to bring trouble with them. He'd have to keep his wits about him if they were to do business, and filed the mental note into his growing knowledge of the station.

*Avarath sat up like a scorched spider. Otto went flying and spitting off her lap. Aydyn had sent her a love tap to wake her up. Ava rubbed her head near the spot where the pain had began. Her hair flashed from green to the bleached blonde it would take on when she let herself go to the darker proclivities of the Force.*
"Darkness sings within you.."
*She shook her head trying to clear the voices of the dead.*
~Back to the ship. We're going to Manaan once the togruta is ready.~
*She shook her head once more trying to clear her voices of the annoying.*
