Recruting.... again. |Closed - Avoim|

[Jerek]

The Everwind fell out of hyperspace above the moon of Nar Shaddaa. Lucien looked down at the planet from the deck of his ship. He had come here in hopes of finding a new crew. After losing his previous crew, he had beens tuck with droids; and they were no fun to be around. He walked down to the hangar after giving the pilot droid instructions to stay above the planet and not to land unless commanded to by Lucien.

He walked over to his fighter, the Phantom and climbed inside. He flipped on the engines and slowly exited the hangar of the Everwind. Lucien steered the fighter ship towards the moon below. The ship was rocked about by the atmospheric winds of Nar Shaddaa. He landed on an empty landing pad and exited his ship.

He looked around the streets in search of a suitable recruiting "office". He found one in a cantina. He entered and looked around at the patrons. They looked to be the type he was looking for. Rough, void of the law, tough, and intimidating. Lucien sat down in a corner alone. He set a clipboard out on the table. He caught a few looks of interest from some of the patrons. He leaned back and pulled his hat down over his eyes, hiding both his face and his smirk.

[avoim]

Avoim had been drinking some of the local alcohol when the strange man came into the cantina and just sat himself down. Avoim watched as the man set a Clipboard down and then sat himself down and rather than looking around the bar with interest the man just sat back and put his hat down over his eyes and appeared to be resting. Avoim looked at the barkeep to see if he knew him, and the bartender shook his head in a negative way.

Avoim then stood up and put his hand over his Lightsaber, and walked over to the man in a slightly drunken stupor. When he got to the man he said “What do you think your doin’ dere bub? Unless you’re here for a drink, I suggest you get out of here before you cause trouble for yourself.” Avoim then awaited a reply from the man.

[Jerek]

Lucien was just starting to drift off a bit, when was awakened by a man standing over him. Lucien didn't remove the hat from his face while the man was talking. He could somewhat see through his hat. He sat the lightsaber strapped to the man's belt. So, was he a Jedi? Maybe someone who stole a lightsaber? Maybe even one of those Sith? There was also the possibility of him being one of those fellas everyone knows as a Grey Jedi. A Jedi who left the Jedi Order for reasons unknown.

Lucien looked up at the guys face, still covered by the hat. It was obvious he was drunk. His eyes seemed slightly glasses over. Lucien knew it would be stupid to fight. Even if he could avoid the deadly blade of that lightsaber, there was still the possibility of this man having the Force. Thinking up a quick-witted plan, Lucien pulled the hat off his face and sat in his right, taking his feet off the table.

"Then I suppose I'd better have a drink or two. Are you the waitress who'll be taking my order?"

[avoim]

Avoim heard the man’s stupid remark and lifted his left hand up and used the force to grasp the stupid man. Once he had the man Avoim would go on to say “Do I look like some kriffing waitress you huttspawn?” Avoim would then pick up the hilt of his Lightsaber and pointed it at the man.

Avoim then said, apparently sobered up by his use of the Force, “Now then explain what your doing here or prepare to meet the business end of this Lightsaber.” Avoim then pinned the man to the wall with the Force and awaited his answer, whatever it was it better be good, because he was already pissed off.

[Jerek]

Lucien was suddenly taken off his feet by an invisible force. All he could do is smirk as the man with a lightsaber threatened him. "Well if you must know: it was my intention to pick a crew up here and afterwards travel the galaxy and commit random acts piracy, and get drunk on different types of alcohol." The man looked a bit dumbfounded by the sudden confession.

Lucien just looked at him, bored with the threat of the Force already. At least now he knew the man had the Force.

[avoim]

After the man told Avoim his intentions, he suddenly released his grip on the man but before he put his Lightsaber away, Avoim used the force to pick up all the man’s weapons, a bladed weapon that looked like a cutlass and two blasters and a small hidden dagger within his boot. Avoim then used the Force to put the weapons on the table next to them and out of the man’s reach. He then hooked his Lightsaber to his belt and pulled up a chair to sit down.

Avoim signaled the Bartender to bring him and the captain the best whiskey he had and two cups, the Bartender did so and Avoim said “Tell me more about this Pirate crew of yours, how many people currently run it? What kind of ship you got and what kinds of targets will you hit?” Avoim thought that this might be an interesting way to use his talents, not a slave but an equal.

[Jerek]

Lucien fell from the wall and landed on his feet. He watched as the Force man took his weapons and laid them on the table. Lucien sat down in front of the man as he pulled up his own chair. He noticed that the man kept his saber. Pretending not to notice, Lucien watched as the bartender brought over the whiskey and cups. Lucien took a cup and took a swig of the whiskey. It was quality stuff.

As the man requested to know more about the crew. "Well I'm currently the only member. I only have droids running my ship right now. As far as targets, it'll vary. One day it may a big freighter. Another day it could be an entire fleet. Who knows? My ship, however, is too magnificent to describe. You'll just have to see yourself, but only members of the crew get admittance to my ship." Lucien added that last part in as a tiny hint.

[avoim]

Avoim poured himself a glass of the Whiskey, straight to the top and drank it all down, with a slight burning sensation to his throat as it went down. The man then went on to state that currently it was him and a bunch of droids that were on the ship. The man also talked about the types of vessels they’d go after, anything from the large freighter to entire fleets. But the man gave him a reason to search his mind, saying that only the crew could see the ship.

Avoim then concentrated and began to probe the man’s mind, the main reason for the whiskey was to weaken his mental status so he could do this easier if he so chose too. After a minute or so of searching, Avoim found a series of mental images about the ship. After he found them he broke the mind probe and said to the man “Nice ship you got, I’m Avoim Oeymo, I want in, whats your name?” Avoim then waited.

[Jerek]

As Lucien began to start another class of whiskey, did he realize what the man was doing. He was trying to make Lucien drunk, so he could probe his mind. He wouldn't submit without a fight. As the man probed Lucien's mind, he attempted to fight back, but, of course, was no match for the Force. After probing Lucien's mind, the man commented on his ship and said he wanted on the crew, stating his name and asking Lucien's.

"She is a beauty. Welcome aboard, Avoim. As for me, I'm Captain Lucien Kinder." He looked around the cantina. Lucien wanted tog et going now, even though he had only found one crew member so far. This particular man, though, had a very useful skill. Lucien could find other members on other worlds.

"Well, Avoim, why don't we get going?" Lucien then grabbed his sword, blasters, and dagger and slipped them back to their positions on his person. He also snatched his hat up from the table and put it back atop his head. He then made to walk out the cantina door.

[avoim]

Avoim listened as the man agreed that the ship was nice, and then stated his own name. The man then said to go and started out after grabbing his weapons, Avoim then flipped the Bartender a nice amount credstick and walked out after him. Avoim’s life was about to get interesting.
