USH'S ORIGINAL TRILOGY STAR WARS GAME- Character Conversations Thread

This is a place for when people on opposing sides in my game meet and want to natter with/deal with/blatantly insult each other.

Short of a fight breaking out or some other kind of check that needs to be made, just have all your convos in here, which should make those parts of the game run much more smoothly.

However, please don't take part in a convo in here unless I've authorised it in the game thread.

Kicking off, we have a face off between Imperial-sponsored Bounty Hunter Rylis, and some of her old enemied and their friends in the form of big bug Eerin, professional laybaout Kyle, and associate Rhys. Rylis was just insulting Eerin (though the language barrier was a problem) when the other two turned up.

(Great idea Ush. I'll start fresh.)

Kyle walks up to stand beside Eerin and puts his hands on his hips. (So he's close to his blaster) "What are you doing here, Hag?"

Rhys stands next to Kyle, looking Rylis over. He adopts a relaxed position, hands in pockets, and says, quite loudly enough to be heard, "Hag? Sure, she's no Twilek dancer, but I'd hardly call her a hag. You know her?"

"Had to bring along some buddies, hmmm?" Rylis replies to Kyle. "And what exactly are you doing here?"

"You could say that, I suppose." she says to Rhys. "Who exactly are you?" (would she recognize him?)

(I'll assume that Rhys and/or Kyle can translate for me)

"[The usual smuggling run, of course, what else?]" Eerin says. "[Smuggling Rylis repelant.]"

Blatantly ignoring Rylis' words, but not looking away from her, kyle replies to Rhys. "It's her personality, not her looks." Kyle then laughs loudly at Eerin's comment and translates it for him.

(Rhys, BB, PM me if there's something you think we should or shouldn't say to her.)

Rhys grins at Rylis and gives a somewhat clumsy bow.

"Rhys Kyril, a trader. Most know me as the cause of an unfortunate accident involving Jabba the Hutt's throne room ceiling. Perhaps you've heard of me?" He looks up hopefully.

"[If the Hutt issued your bounty, she'd know]," Eerin says, with a clicking laugh. "[The girl calls herself a bounty hunter...]"

"Oh, you're so funny. Such a couple of comedians. Now, I know for a fact that you are not here smuggling. So, what exactly are you doing here? Somehow I doubt you have some legitimate reason." Rylis replies to Eerin and Kyle.

"Rhys? The name is familiar."

"Somewhat familiar? Well, that rules out that she's here for your bounty, Rhys. And she knows she can't catch us (she never has) so she's not here for that. Hmmm..." Kyle puts in sarcastically, and taps his chin for effect.

"[What makes you think we're not smuggling? Did you completely forget what we do for a living or...what? But Kyle's right, you can't have possibly just tracked us here to take us in...seeing as you can't. Not because we're on a civilized world or anything, but because you simply don't have the nerve or ability...]"

"Come now, did you really think I wouldn't do a little research around the planet? Now, unless those ships that just landed are who you're smuggling with - which I doubt because you'd be there instead of pestering me - you're not here to smuggle. But I highly doubt you chose this place as a nice planet for a holiday, so there must be some reason you're here." Rylis replies. "And believe it or not, you boys are not the end all be all of my existence. Such egotistical arrogance."

"Oh, we're not?" Kyle grins. "Then why are you here?"
<broadens grin annoyingly>

"If you want us to be here to take you out, so much the better," Arvus says, dropping down from a part of the docking bay that he had been sneaking along. He discreetly preps his dart launcher at his wrist.

"I was wondering what happened to you." Rylis says as Arvus appears.

"And while I do have other things to do here....getting you out of my way would simply be an added bonus." she replies to Kyle.

"[As if you could even make the attempt...]" Eerin says. "[And who's this? Rylis has a partner, now? Or some Imp lackey]?"

The sudden appearance of Arvus makes Kyle drop his hand to his blaster. The man looked dangerous, and he noticed him make some small movements. In Kyle's experience, dangerous men making subtle movements was never good.

"Yeah. What happened to Makrus? He finally get tired of putting up with you? Or is he skulking around in the shadows too?" He glares at the new arrival, feeling safe that Eerin will not divert is attention from Rylis.

He didn't know Rhys that well, but Kyle was sure that he'd dealt with these kinds of people before. This was fast becoming a very dangerous situation. Rylis was dangerous, but before they had the numbers and were surrounded by guards. But this new guy was an unknown factor, and for all Kyle knew this man could go off any moment.

Kyle and Rhys, your smuggling instincts are going off here.

If this starport is crawling with bad guys looking for evidence of stuff to haul you in for... ummm... now you think about it, this set up wasn't planned very well.

You guys all brought a certain amount of cargo? Courtesy of the Duchess?

(Hehe, that's a good point. Rhys, Eerin, what can we do about it?)

(We didn't handle this well at all, but that's really nothing new to Rhys.)

Rhys is a bit surprised at Arvus jumping down into the confrontation, but he manages to compose himself and stay his hand from reaching for his blaster. He smiles congenially at the newcomer.

"Hello there. I suppose you've been listening to our conversation for a while, huh? I hope at least you've heard of me, even though it seems your companion hasn't."

He turns back to Rylis. "I wonder what's going through your head, Miss, but you're not thinking properly about how our operations work. Why exactly do you think we couldn't be smuggling?" He smirks a little, amused that someone couldn't see something so plain.
