Ben Rider nods, "So I see..." He says with a sigh as Ithilwen talks more.

"Wait? So we'd be like the Sexy Superhero Squad? SSS?"

[El Supremo]

Sang ponders for a moment and then shakes his head,

"After struggling for so many years through the Order and the war, I just do not have it in me to try it again, at least not at this time. It always becomes political, always... Lets face it, the galaxy is not that fond of our kind, it always winds up being political. Someone somewhere always figures it out and expect you to solve their problems, and rarely does it come out well."

He does not look angry, but heartbroken, his thoughts and emotions were up on the surface for those sensitive to it, he had seen and been put in a position to do things during the war that haunt him.

[Arya Vexa]

*Arya's ears perk up at the words of Ithilwen, really? Did Ithilwen really say what she thought she had? She couldn't help but blink. She then listened to Sang, his words matching much of how she had felt when she was leaving what she knew of the Order. She knew her empathy could be felt through the Force, but that wasn't quite enough. Reaching out, she placed her hand against his shoulder before speaking up.*

Ay... politics get in the way of most things it seems...

*She glances at Ithilwen, giving an optimistic smile.*

Surely all hope isn't lost... There has to be some reason we're all here together... The Force doesn't do things haphazardly... there's always a reason....

*She covers her mouth in surprise. Had she really just said that? Where did that come from? She wasn't used to these episodes of being her old self... it made her mind wander. Perhaps her old self wasn't really gone... not now... maybe not ever... but then how could she of... oh hell what did it matter now. She was speaking from her soul... and it felt....right.*

[Ithilwen]

*Ithilwen smirks at Ben and pats his back*

We'll see.

*She nods at Sang's words, then puts her hand over his shoulder and gives a gentle squeeze*

I know the feeling.. I understand, especially what you say about things getting political. Just know you'll always be welcome, and don't be a stranger.. the hermit clothes really don't suit you.

*Ithilwen winks at him, then smlies at Arya*

Well said! This encounter surely sparked something. We can brainstorm about this, I have a couple of ideas....

*suddenly her comlink goes off, she glances at it and her expression changes drastically*

... but it will have to wait. I have to take care of this.. if all goes well I'll explain when we meet again. Arya, Ben, I can pay you the trip back to Hapes if you want, I surely don't want to leave you stranded on Cathar.

[Arya Vexa]

*Arya smiles at Ithilwen.*

As do I! Here's my contact info...

*She says, handing the woman a flimsy with her comm info on it.*

I have a feeling that there's much a need for a brainstorming session.... soon!

*She looks to Sang with a wink.*

I'll expect to see you there too!

*She then looks to Ben and to Ithilwen, still smiling.*

I'll cover our fares, no worries... I owe you enough already...

*She places her hand against Ithil's shoulder, giving it an appreciative squeeze.*

...thanks... for everything...

*She says looking up into the deep blue eyes of the woman, then turning back to Ben.*

Hapes? Or somewhere else, Pretty boy?

[Ithilwen]

*Ithilwen smils at Arya, patting the hand over her shoulder*

Our paths will cross again.. we planted the seeds of something promising today.
Take care, all of you. Until then.

*She gives a nod, then turns and takes her comlink again as she disappears in the crowd of the market*

[Arya Vexa]

*Ben seemed to be lost in a daze. What was it with this guy? He could be so useful… but suddenly seemed rather entranced. Who knew… maybe the kitty women were still blowing his mind. Giving a shrug, Arya addresses him again.*

Here’s the credits to get you home… keep safe Ben Rider…

*She says, giving him a friendly hug. It was the least she could do… she had after all shot him. She then smiles at Ithilwen, watching her fade into the crowd. That woman certainly was all work and no play… Shrugging once more, Arya heads to the nearest space port, pays her fare for public transit, and heads off into the wild blue yonder.*

Ben suddenly snapped attention after having been checking out some human pilot tourist across the market. As he glanced over he realized that everybody was gone. "Oh crap...what did I miss?" He said surprised as he realized both Ithilwen and Arya was gone. "Damn it!" He swore as he glanced back at the woman across the way he'd been checking out. "Curse you vile ass and your hypno powers!" He mumbled as he wandered around looking for everyone.

[Gin Xyrin]

~After what felt like an eternity to Gin he felt the Azure Wolf drop out of lightspeed. the coms around the ship buzzing as sev's voice echoed over them~ "Sir we have reached our destination." ~hitting the com Gin grins~ "okay good get us permission to dock and where are we?"

"Cathar sir the space port near hana-raja preping to land" ~Sevs voice buzzes~ "Good send me the information on the planet and prep the droids we need to resupply and refuel i believe if not scope the planet we could have use in the future for this place" ~Gin says as he pulls out his datapad~ "oh and you might want to come down to help out i'm gonna take a look around so i need some one to broker any deals for whatever supplies we can get and make sure that you get some good food, booze and anything thing that i might find of use"

~as the ship lurches slightly from landing Gin walks towards the cargo bay exit with a sign saying taking on passengers and a lawn chair in the other~ "OKAY Y'ALL GET YER ARSES IN GEAR AND GET THIS DONE QUICK" ~Gin shouts as he hits the button to open the door releaving his destination to him as the droids start to do the task requested of them Sev at the head of the force backed up by a single protector droid~

~walking out of the ship a little ways and opening up the chair Gin plants the sign and pulls his sword and coat off setting them next to him revealing the rest of his overly equiped self as he sits in the chair legs streched out datapad in hand with a bottle of whiskey sitting next to him and a protector droid looming nearby at the hold enterance, the combination scaring away most everyone at first glance~

[Deleted]

Wandering around lost, Ben finally made it back to the hanger and was shocked to see the ship missing. How could they have left him? HIM, Ben Rider, Sexy Boy Extraordinaire?

As he looked on in sadness he suddenly began to think about what would happen to him. What if those vicious cat girls tried to eat him? And not in the good way! He was too pretty to die on such a backwater planet. He quickly paced back in forth in the hanger trying to figure out the best way to survive his fate.

[Gin Xyrin]

~Sitting in his chair Gin growls lightly at the lack of takers. tapping his head mounted com~ "DWZL give me a mega phone" ~hearing a buzz as the droid routs through several systems Gin grins as his breathing becomes audible to him from the ships speakers~ "This is Gin Xyrin of the Azure Wolf, giving an offer to all takers you pay the cash, I'll get you where you need no muss no fuss and i can assure your safety till i drop you off at your destination, and of this for a low price of 300 credits including food drink and lodging."

~grabbing his datapad he sends the droid a message to cancel the com grinning as his breathing vanishes. leaning back in the lawn chair Gin looks up from the datapad as the droids near finishing loading up the ship~ "well i'll give it a couple of hours"

~hearing some footsteps Gin looks up as several people begin to walk up glancing at them Gin grins as the steel them selves glancing his eyes from each one to the next counting four humans a family of three and a female traveler, a cathar male a tall one at that, and one that caused Gin's eyebrow to quirk a small merc band twenty strong featuring several races from twi'leks to a wookiee to humans and several children in their early teens with blasters or weapons straped to their hips~ "Two hundred credits per adult one hundred and fifty for children, pay and find your rooms stay towards the hold, stay out of trouble this ship is a non-hostile zone unless reason is given then it is a straight forward event."

~Taking their credits Gin and destinations Gin enters them into his datapad and grabs a droid to help direct them to their rooms a protector droid lumbing to the middle of the hold staring down the hall watching the passengers~ "okay so Coruscant gonna give it some more time and hope i get a few more people"

~leaning back in the lawn chair Gin picks up his bottle and takes a small swig the alcohol hitting him like a brick to the skull shaking his head he sets the bottle down~

[Deleted]

Ben Rider looks over upon hearing the voice and grins and runs over. Perhaps the ship would have pretty people on board it. As he arrived however he looked over at the others in dismay. Most were ugly and some of those creepy cat girls were getting on. Normally Ben was a big fan of cat girls, how could this planet have ruined cat girls this badly?

He sighed and held out his money as he boarded the ship trying to avoid the ugly people.

[Gin Xyrin]

~As the man that Gin could swear found himself as superior to every one that payed their way on board looking at the man Gin gave a stop motion~ "I need to know where you need to get to tell me as we board else i'll drop you with the mercs"

~Standing up as one last person walked and Gin could swear he was dreaming because he could swear that the woman approaching him was a model if you excluded the exsquisit and obvious vibro katana straped to her hip~ "afternoon you coming on board if so please pay tell me where to and hurry cause we are leaving well now" ~the face the woman made though reminded him of the man that just payed~ "heh who do you think you are to be ordering me around and I'm with them " ~She points at the merc group. Gin could only sigh knowing full well that this went from a simple transport to a hell in a can~ "well this should be fun"

~turning Gin hits the button to shut the cargo bay as the last droid hauls its cargo in tapping his com he sends a message across the the ship through the speakers~ "once you have all found your rooms or bunks to be precise come back to the hold so we can work out the ground rules"

~leaning next to the still overly orginized ammo table via tenkai's boredom a while back as people begin to file into the hold Gin loks to the side as sev walks over to him~ "Sir do you believe this is wise" ~Chuckling Gin shrugs~ "Most likely not but it is something new guess we just wait and see, all of you over here" ~Gin shouts the last part to the group that had collected near the enterance of the hold catching their attention and causeing them to move in his direction~

"Here's how things are gonna be you get three square meals a day, this is a no violence ship if you have a dispute that needs physical representation then talk with me and it will be held in a proper manner that will not harm the other travelers" ~looking at the armed individuals~ "you will be allowed to carry you tools of the trade but violence will be met with getter violence each of these heaviliy armed droids" ~Gin sweeps his hands towards the protector droids~ "can and will light you up till you glow in the dark and everything else well just use common sent i promised when you boarded to protect you till you reach your destinations that also means from each other"

~leaning back compleately relaxed both hands on the table Gin grins~ "Well now that all of the displeasure is out of the way welcome to the Azure Wolf enjoy your stay and i apologize the luxerys of the ship have yet to be installed have a nice day and a nice trip" ~Turning to walk away Gin looks over at the woman from earlier with a feral grin on his face~ "About your question earlier i have the right to order you around because as recently you have volentarily become a guess on my ship"

~If looks could kill Gin would have been wipped from existance as he motions for sev waiting for any questions before leaving~

[Deleted]

"Uhhh I guess Coruscant works." Ben says.

[Gin Xyrin]

~Gin grins at the man~ "well that makes life easier since most of the passengers are heading there" ~looking at his datapad Gin corrects himself~ "all of the passengers are headed there"


~looking at all the passengers as he waits for questions seeing none coming and the rest of the passengers already on their way to their quarters he turns around and hears the womans voice~ "and what if we were to try and take this ship from you" ~he could almost hear the smile in her voice as her leader shushes her and the rest of the mercs look at the droids starting to take aim~ "Then I'd just kill you and anyone that aided you and dump your bodies out the airlock because that would be a danger to the rest of the passengers" ~He says turning around his eyes glowing a brighter blue than normal and the smile on his face feral and murderous as he waves his hand to settle down the droids~ "like you could"

"Quiet just looking at him i know he could" ~smacking the back of the womans head the female Twi'lek approches him cautiously~ "we appologise for our compainion she seems to have forgotten her manners, if you'd forgive her i'd owe you one" ~waving his hand Gin grins~ "no harm no foul just keep her on a tighter leash, and i may have a job lined up for you long term if you want it we can discuss it later after dropping off the others" ~getting a nod from the woman~

~Turning back to sev as the group literally drags the woman out to their quarters one of the men literally holding his hand over her mouth to muffle the curses sreaming from it he chuckles~ "well that was eventfull, sev get us off this rock and on our way to coruscant" "Yes sir" ~turning he jogs to his quarters as the ship lurches lifting off and breaking into orbit before lurching once more into hyperspace towards coruscant~
