[Zanebry Varliss]

Lyseil saw the tip of the head. It's just like being in one of those Corellian-detective movies! She hesitated for a while, seeming like she was going to do something to the Mandalorians who were dragging along that poor defenseless woman... but she realised she couldn't take out three Mandalorians in this location!

With a heavy sigh, she looked away and headed over to Zanebry and Jax. "Gentlemen," she greeted, keeping a low profile and her enthusiasm dulled from what she just saw.

"Lyseil." Z offered her a smile, he did wish there was something that could be done. But right now they'd only cause a mess.

"Could I buy you a drink?" He nodded along with Jax "interesting indeed."

[Aran Enfas]

Aran smiled disarmingly, and tried to think about what he had seen others do in similar situations, during his time observing the underworld.

"Ting cooing koo sah, Captain! Or, I will, after this job. You don't have to worry about anything. Let's have a drink, and then we can arrange details of when you get paid."

("I've got the credits," in Huttese)

OOC: Uh, Deception?

Fliflam Zyken: 1eP+3eA 3 successes, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph


Needs a difficulty.

[Lyseil Panteer]

"Ah well, duty never rests, Jax," she smiled brightly and nodded to Z. "That would be wonderful. Thank you!" Lyseil was quick to carry on as if nothing had happened. Normally she was used to applying that for more refined situations, but it would probably draw attention if she remained obviously off-put by what happened.

[Dapper Dog]

Aran smiled disarmingly, and tried to think about what he had seen others do in similar situations, during his time observing the underworld.

Kai grinned and said, “Now that’s my kind of scoundrel. So have you met my good friends, they love to party… say hello girls.”

The ladies wave and smile and just generally act drunk and flirty.

OOC: He totally believes you. He thinks you can do no wrong.

[Jax Dolross]

"but this is fun not duty. Unless you have some assignment you are working on here in this lovely club?" he says with an easy smile "Always the gentleman Z, thats a good quality." he observed the conversation between the short man and the other man attracted by the use of Huttese and the lack of hutts something to keep an eye on if nothing else.

[Zanebry Varliss]

He looked the young woman over for a moment before turning towards the bartender. She seemed the type to like something a little sweet. Hopefully a lemondrop Martini would please her.

His own drink arrived; a dry martini, but he didn't take it in hand yet, waiting for the other to arrive. "I think we have some dance lessons planned, if she feels up to him." Z replied with a smile towards the lady before turning towards Jax. "If you're out here for fun, I'm surprised you didn't bring Azura along. Or is this not her scene?:

[Jax Dolross]

Jax shrugged "I left a note that I was going into town to a club she's welcome to come along if she likes but as you said usually clubs aren't her favorite place, she doesn't like to dance much." He smiled as his own drink arrived "So Lyseil is going to learn how to dance huh? fun stuff I'll need to scrounge up a dance partner as well, it's half the fun of a club like this after all."

[Lyseil Panteer]

"If I was that would be classified information, Jax," she said with a mischevious smile. Not that she was here on a mission, but Lyseil had already experienced once today that you sometimes find unexpected discoveries in the least likely places.

"Ah yes, there's the dancing too!" Lyseil actually took a moment to listen to the music now. She had heard that kind being played in some of the nicer cantinas in the Outer Rim. Never on Alderaan. "Azura did say she didn't dance... she doesn't seem to like you very much?" she asked Jax with some slight concern.

[Dapper Dog]

A woman came up the stairs flanked by what appeared to be a very advanced and sleek protocol droid. The red ocular units of the droid scan the room as it walked with a decidedly feminine gait. The woman wore a skin town dress of blood red with black trim off the shoulder allowing her krayt dragon tattoo to be visible.

She worked the room like an artisan works a masterpiece every step just so, every swish of the hips premeditated and yet effortless. She laughed lightly as she leaned over and said something to the droid. The room watched her, she had no need to return that favor.

She paused at the bar and left a credit chit for a tip to the grateful bartender and then departed where a speeder was waiting.

[Jax Dolross]

"If I was that would be classified information, Jax," she said with a mischevious smile. Not that she was here on a mission, but Lyseil had already experienced once today that you sometimes find unexpected discoveries in the least likely places.

"Ah yes, there's the dancing too!" Lyseil actually took a moment to listen to the music now. She had heard that kind being played in some of the nicer cantinas in the Outer Rim. Never on Alderaan. "Azura did say she didn't dance... she doesn't seem to like you very much?" she asked Jax with some slight concern.

Jax returned the mischief in her smile easily "Fair enough. As long as you have no trouble letting loose." hearing the next part about azura he chuckled a bit "That's fair I don't like her too much at times either" he laughed a bit "No but in all seriousness she just has a prickly shell, at her core she cares more than she likes to show. She's had my back enough times I trust her to keep doing it."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Honestly Jax, I'd say she is quite smitten with you." Z observed, with a soft smile, passing Lyseil her drink before picking up his own. "She seems to get quite jealous when you share your attention with other women. You likely know more of that then I though."

Turning towards Lyseil, he motioned with his chin towards the dance floor. "What do you think of the dancing though? A bit different isn't it?"

[Aran Enfas]

Seeing the mysterious woman leave, Aran felt a moment of panic, as if an opportunity (for what?) was slipping through his fingers. Struck by sudden inspiration -- the will of the Force? -- Aran leaned in to the Captain. "I bet you five hun-- five thousand credits you can't get that woman to stay for one more drink."

OOC: Aran has a surveillance tagger -- if he can get a distraction, he'll try to plant it on her speeder?

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Skullduggery versus 2C+2D and a setback, good luck. Flipping Destiny so 3C+1D.

[Dapper Dog]

Captain Zyken grinned and said, “Easy… no woman can resist the Zyken.”

He sauntered over and said, “He-”

The advanced droid just turned and said, “If you value your reproductive organs then you will depart. I won’t warn again.”

The Zyken nodded and returned, “Just need the right moment.”

[Jax Dolross]

"Honestly Jax, I'd say she is quite smitten with you." Z observed, with a soft smile, passing Lyseil her drink before picking up his own. "She seems to get quite jealous when you share your attention with other women. You likely know more of that then I though."

Turning towards Lyseil, he motioned with his chin towards the dance floor. "What do you think of the dancing though? A bit different isn't it?"

Jax smirked "you're not the first person to make an observation like that. You get close spending so much time together but we aren't involved in that way." he said simply.

Jax watched the dance floor "It does have a certain quality to it doesn't it? I think after this drink I'm going to find a lady looking to dance, assuming Mr. Z has already spoken for you as a dancing partner Lyseil?"

[Lyseil Panteer]

Accepting the drink with a polite nod, Lyseil sipped her cocktail, more occupied with observing the room and the lady with the strange droid than talking, so she was only paying a passing attention to Jax and Zanebry talking. Until they were talking to her. Who are they, I wonder... probably no good. That outfit screams super-rich and no noble woman would dress like that. Must be some criminal... can it be the one they were talking about yesterday?

"Hm...? Oh..." Well, that was a little awkward. Were they both asking her to dance?! "Uh... I think mr. Varliss did offer to teach me first."

[Zanebry Varliss]

Z at least thought the Jax and Azura were lying to each other, but he let the subject drop. Instead tracing lyseil's eyes to the woman and the droid. "It would be wise to give a wide hearth to Miss Amarlyiss, Lyseil. That lovely woman is likely to get you into no end of trouble." He observed.

"That I have." Zane replied. "Though I wouldn't presume to call upon you attention the entire evening, Lyseil. A woman as lovely as you is likely to get more then one invitation to dance."

[Jax Dolross]

"So that's her name." Jax said almost to himself "she looks like the type that is nothing but trouble, I agree with Zane on this, best to give her a wide berth unless absolutely necessary."

Jax smiled "Exactly we have all night just save me a dance at some point alright?" he gave her a friendly smile and a wink "I'll let Z do the hard part and teach you then I'll test and see how well he did." Jax said playfully

[Aran Enfas]

As Aran's accomplice flawlessly executed his part of the plan, he cut a shortcut through the dance floor. On his way, the table full of Strike Force operatives may or may not get a broad wink... again, not very noticeable between the helmet and sunshades.

Stepping out in to the cool night air, he palms the surveillance tag in to his hand and slips towards the speeder, sure that the woman and her droid are far behind him....

The tracker is on there as the woman and her advanced droid entered the back of the vehicle. The driver workedld his way around and noticed a stain and wiped it gently, but in his diligence he knocked the tracker off.

Then he got in and pulled away.

[Vain Taskar]

*Click* and flash... which I guess Aran is vaguely aware of.

"That one is going straight to the council," Vain joked as he looked at the image on his holo-camera.

[Jax Dolross]

"You know in fact I think it's time to get out there and have a little fun!" he exclaimed as he finished his drink and moved to the dance floor his dancing left something to be desired but he took it in stride and looked decent while doing it clear he was here more to have a good time than to show off his dancing moves. He approached a woman who was dancing alone and asked her if she'd like a partner doing a fair job of looking friendly and inviting.

[Dapper Dog]

A rather alluring rodian smiled at Jax as he cut the rug impressed by his moves and offered to dance with him. She had a beautiful scintillating gown of many colors and wore the finest animal hide shawl.

[Lyseil Panteer]

"Just keeping an eye on what kind of people frequent a place like this," she said behind the rim of her glass, looking for a moment to the dancefloor. As if she had such delusions of grandeur as messing with an obvious villainess?!

Did that man with the shades just look at them now...?

Lyseil saw Jax head to the dancefloor and then back at Zanebry. "Well, then, I suppose I have had some liquid courage to try this dancing now."

[Aran Enfas]

"That one is going straight to the council," Vain joked as he looked at the image on his holo-camera.

Aran freezes halfway unbent from recovering his tracker from the street. "Uh... keepuna!"

He straightens up and brushes off his shoulder as if nothing had happened. "I mean... who are you?"
