Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I'm starting to think we're going to need to NPC some people.))
In his quarters aboard the Heroine's Assault, Cale took a pull from his ever present flask and finished assembling his Custom DL-18.
With the tightening of the final screw, he heard a faint groan from behind him.

"Convenient." He said as he loaded the weapon. "This was the best time for you to come around."
He glanced over his shoulder to look upon Rain, bound to a chair and berift of her helmet.
Cale twirled the armed blaster and holstered it, before favoring Rain with a grin.

"You back-stabbing little Jactna!" He suddenly barked at her, his voice raised to a frightening volume. "You thought you could get away with Mutany?! While I was rotting in a cell in Drako's Dungeon?! After all that Ive done for you?!"
His tone dropped to a darkly low volume. "There's only one punishment for such a degree of mutiny."
Cale slowly drew his vibrocutlass, the blade scrapping against the interiro of the sheath.
Rain staired unflinchingly at Cale as he aproached her with the vibro-cutlass.

And with a flick of his wrist he cut the woman's bindings.
Both Rain and Cale flicked a glance to the door of the cabin.
"I think your eaves droppers have departed, sir." Rain remarked.
"As I predicted." Cale said confidently as he sheathed his sword. "Its amazing what a little theatre will do for Moral upon this ship."

"I wonder how many of them actually thought that your little light gun could pierce my armor." Rain stood and brushed her crimson hair over her shoulder. "You just be thankful that I put up with the Osik you put me through. I even took a knock out pill for you."
"Oh I am. Though I wish you hadn't have given the Jedi my Light-cutlass." Cale walked over to his cabnet and drew out a bottle and a pair of glasses. "That was supposed to be my Ace in the Hole against those saber-polishers."

Rain shrugged. "Hey, it was the surest way of making sure you didnt kill them when you broke out. Besides, they came asking around for information. We may be criminals, but that doesnt mean we shoot every cop that passes our way. Thats bad buisness."
"Spoken like a real outlaw." Cale said as he filled the glasses with the bottle's contents. "Though I do wonder. How long did you plan on waiting before you'd come knocking with the Ackbar's Folley?"

"Not very long." She replied. "We departed about ten minutes after you Becon-called the Phoenix."
Cale chuckled. "Well thats good news for me then." He walked over to Rain and offered her a glass of dark red alchohol.

"Besbin Port? You still had some of that left?" Rain remarked as she took the ofefred glass.
"Hey, I'm a pretty classy guy. And a Classy guy has to have some classy booze stashed away somewhere, right?"

Rain eyed the wine suspiciously. "Captain, are you attempting to seduce me?"
"Whatever gave you that idea?"
"Small talk, fine wine, me being tied up in your room, Plus you have that stupid grin on your face."
Cale laughed. "You can't blame a guy for trying."

Rain downed the wine in a single swig. "Y'know, its against regulations for officers to develop relationships."
"We're Pirates. What Regulations?"
She smirked. "My people also frown on dating non-mandos."
"How do they feel about one night stands?"
Rain laughed. "Captain, I plan on marrying a nice Mando'ad, settling down, and raising a brood of warriors some day."
Cale drank his wine. "Not me. I'm gonna keep raising hell across the galaxy until the day I die. I'll leave the settling down thing to my sister."

"You have a sister?!"
"Yep." Cale said with a wink. "And she's loaded. Owns the controling stake of Blast-tech."
Rain shook her head disbelivingly. "So the reason you're such a bg fan of the DL-18 is?"
"What can i say? I got to support the family."
"She needs to be supporting you! You're broke half the time!"
Cale pshawed that idea with a wave of his hand. "She can keep it. I've been on my own for so long that the idea of being given hand outs makes me want to hurl. Besides, I dont want to ruin her life by getting it tangled up in mine."

Rain smirked at Cale as he filled up his glass with more wine.
As Cale downed the glass a second time he became aware that Rain was still watching him.
"What?"
"You know Captain, I think that I need to get out of this armor."
Cale almost dropped his glass.
"Say what?"
"Well, I have been wearing it an awful lot. The same look day in and day out. It'd be nice to slip out of it for a change."

Cale grinned. "Operations Officer Rain Starwind. Are you proposing that you're going to stand before me in the nude?"
"I'm not doing it alone, Captain." She said with a wink.
"So what was all that about your people's rules of dating outside their culture?"
"Thats dating. The funny thing about my people's culture is that as long as we raise our kids right, we dont care where they come from."

And then the two pirates laughed. They laughed until their sides hurt.
And then when they had weezed out the last chuckle, they gazed into each other's eyes.
"So we're still going to do it right?" Rain asked.
"Like I'd turn this opportunity down."
"Tell a soul and I'll gut you like a vrelt."
"My lips are sealed. And we can always blame the wine."
"I'll lock the door."

((The way this RP is going, I'm wondering wether or not we should start NPC'ing some people.))

Mordranna smiled, witnessing the scene. "Well met, Damon." she said with a slight bow.

The Auric Runner set down on Ord Mantell, kicking up clouds of dust as her repulsors lowered her down on the edge of Nikto's Mesa.
Cale looked at the controls of the ship, his first real ship.
Nothing against the Phoenix, but that was a fighter. And he had more than enough room in his heart for two ships.
He was Corellian after all.
But if things didn't pan out, if he made his final jump today, he wouldnt see those controls again.
"Take care, girl." he said as he affectionately patted the controls. Slipping out of the chair, Cale made his way outside the ship, to face death once more.

Stepping off the ramp and upon the parched rock of the Mesa, Cale gazed across the Mesa.
Flat, dead, rock. Nothing pretty about it.
Not necessarily the best place to die.
"Solms! Get out here Solms! You and I've got unfinished buisness!" Cale called out.

(( ZOMG! FP postied! O_O ))

"So, what's our next move?" Mordranna queried no one in particular.

Mordranna looked worriedly to Angel, taken aback by Trey's cold tone.
"He must be stopped," she said in partial agreement. Of course, she felt no malice towards the Dark Lord. For us to truly have peace, Drako must be stopped,

" Angel, I have much to tell you, but I would prefer to talk in private. Much of what I need to say is something only you should hear. " Damon said. Turning to the others, Angel asked, " I'll be back later. I guess... enjoy the sights? " she shrugged, turning back to Damon, who led her away.
