Golden Link Casino

[Zara Nargal]

Zara tilted her head regarding Cyrus. There was something... no. She'd think about that later. He did remind her of someone though.

 

"With the latest reports coming in from our sources, it seems that Black Sun has been dealt a swift blow. I think their threat might be down for the moment. There's even a report that Piccolo got killed. If, in your travels, you could find out if that rumour is true?"

 

With her wording, she gave Knight permission to take leave if he wished. She didn't begrudge her people time off if they wanted it.

 

"You can take as long as you need, just give me a rough idea of how long you'll be gone for. We can always recall you if some emergency pops up, though at the present time I don't foresee that happening."

[Cyrus Knight]

OOC: Tsk tsk...none of that.

 

IC:

Knight nodded. "I would be more than happy to find out such a thing while I'm gone," he said. "I'll be ready if you should need me. With your leave, then." He inclined his head briefly and turned away, heading straight for the hangar bay. He kept all his things on his ship, and carried everything else (his weapons, armor, mask, cape, etc.). It was almost amusing--the Link would never allow armed persons not under their employ free reign of the station.

 

But, at any rate, he was back at the Redawn before five minutes were up and aboard a second later. He had something he needed to do before he got on to the bulk of his expedition, and that was a quick stop by a world on which he had perished.

 

However, since he had no intent of letting the Link know where that is, he did a thorough but inconspicious check for homing devices and laid in a couple of false jumps to throw off any means of tracking his hyperspace vector. It was time to take off his mask and put on another one.

[Dashel Illioni]

:::Acknowledging Comm to Zara Nargal:::

 

Thank you for responding so quickly. Attached is the numbered account for you to pull the funds for the construction of the starship as agreed.

 

:::End Comm:::

[Zara Nargal]

Receiving the comm, Zara set the construction in motion. It would be a week of construction in their yards.

 

Watching the holonet, Zara became interested in one of the advertisements. It seemed that there was a new Day Care Center opening. She would look into that for her children.

 

She continued on to the training room and set the holo simulator for a training session, soon readying her staff for a battle against the simulated enemies.

[Zara Nargal]

((Legal double post ))

 

Zara had finished her work out and spent more time with her children. She had been contacted by the advertisers, with regards to the holonet broadcast and had done the advertisement. She had also been notified that the ship order that they had received had been completed, all tests performed and that it was ready for pick up.

 

Receiving notification of a new applicant, Zara perused the information of the questionnaires that he had already done, that had been sent through to her. She would interview him herself once he arrived.

 

Dressed in a black pantsuit with her boots and silver belt around her hips, Zara made her way through the Casino's various levels, checking to make sure that everything was in order for when their first influx of patron's arrived.

 

--

 

The transport from the Link's Headquarters on Coruscant announced it's arrival, soon touching down in the public hanger. The stewardess approached Dahz stating that his fighter would be unloaded to the docking bay beside the transports for his convenience. There was an escort waiting to guide them to look over the new ship, or to show them around if that was what they wished.

 

Waiting for Faick was another guide to escort him to the interview room.

[Conner]

Sitting on the transport, as it shook, he listened closely to Dahz and everything he had to say. Taking the vibroswords and hooking them onto his belt. ”œI'm guessing once we land were going to split ways?”

[Conner]

He slowly walks into the Casino with the two droids behind him. He looked around and turned to the droids "so where do we go from now" he followed the droids as the aimlesly wondered around the casino.

[Zara Nargal]

((Sorry... thought Dahz was going to post for you - there are also security procedures to go through before you can enter the Casino proper. ))

 

A Link staff member approached Conner and the two droids before they left the hanger bay area.

 

"Welcome to the Golden Link Casino Sir. If you come this way we shall get the preliminary security checks done."

 

Conner was led to the security terminal, and told to proceed through the security scanners.

 

"You must check in all weapons before entering. You can collect them on the way out Sir."

 

The droids are put through checks of their own, also fitted with restraining bolts for the duration in which they are in the Casino.

 

"The restraining bolts will be taken off as you and your droids leave the Casino."

 

Another staff member that wasn't in the security team then approached.

 

"May I assist you Sir?"

[Conner]

He followed the staff memeber to a securtiy check point and did everything he was told. Going through the scan check and getting the everything else checked out as well as the two droids.

 

He looks at the staff memeber "I'm here to pick up a fighter and these two droids have the clearance and everything I need." He looked at the two droids and completed the security check.

[darth shadowlord]

A brief comm was sent to the Golden Link Casino by the Count of Serenno.

 

Comm-- Miss Nargal, I am the Count Draken Shadowlord of Serenno. I would like to make a reservation of your finest suite. I may be reached at the following comm number. --End Comm

 

((Occ reply in the Space thread))

[Zara Nargal]

The staff member checked at a terminal for the information regarding the fighter.

 

"Ahh yes. Here we are. The fighter for Dashel Illioni. I can escort you to the hanger bay it is located in if you wish. Unless you want to do something else before you go?"

 

--

 

The comm from Draken Shadowlord is received and replied to.

[Conner]

He smiled "Yes if you could escort me to the ship so I could depart right away." He looked around at the casino thinking he could spend some time then he felt that he should leave right away. Looking at the two droids "You guys ready to go?" Smiling as they reply in a simple yes. "I believe were ready to leave right away, if thats okay with you?"

[Zara Nargal]

The staff member motioned for one of the security officers to hand him the case containing any items that had been taken from the droids and from Connor before turning to the man himself.

 

"If you will come this way Sir."

 

He was led through to the hanger bay that contained the fighter. Once there, the restraining bolts were removed from the droids before they entered the fighter, also the case containing his other belongings were returned to him.

 

"If you require anything else from the Link, here is our card. Please come again."

 

--

In the fighter, left for it's new owner, Dashel Illioni, was a special gift basket containing exotic goods suitable for a Triani, for having purchased the ship through the Link.

[darth shadowlord]

The Grand Duke exited hyperspace near the Golden Link Casino. Draken sat at the helm of the ship guiding it toward the Golden Link. Docking it beside the Casino, he commed them to let them know of his arrival and waited for someone to greet him.

[Zara Nargal]

With the arrival of their latest guest, clearance is given for him to land. Having received the initial comm from the Count of Serenno, Zara headed down to the hanger bay to greet him herself.

 

"Welcome to the Golden Casino. I hope you enjoy your stay here. The porters will take your bags to your room. Would you like a tour or would you like to see your room?"

 

Zara was dressed in a simple yet elegant grey pantsuit with a silver chain looped around her waist. Her twins were having lessons with their tutor, while the nanny looked after her youngest.

[Faick Ond]

Faick followed the woman to a conference room where he awaited him hopefully new employer.

[darth shadowlord]

"Thank you, Ms. Nargal. It is good to get some time away from the issues of the the Galaxy. Your Casino seemed to be the perfect place to do that." Draken smiled at her as the porter took his only bag and headed toward his room.

 

"A tour of your Casino would be nice. Lead the way ma'am." His elegant accent lacing his words as he spoke, Draken bowed and extended his arm to her, as always he was a gentleman to a lady.

[Zara Nargal]

Security scanned over Count Shadowlord, making sure he had no dangerous weapons on his person during his stay. Any he had brought with him would be placed in a locker until it was time for him to leave.

 

"This way Sir"

 

Zara linked her arm through the Count's as he offered it to her. She had long ago learnt the art of diplomacy, having had to be the more diplomatic twin between herself and Kat. Where her brother had disappeared to she wasn't aware of. She also wondered how Brina and Durose were doing on their tripping around the Galaxy.

 

As Zara led Count Shadowlord through the Casino, she pointed out various things on offer through the main area.

 

"There is a main garden dome on the topmost level, a holopark, cinema, all varieties of shops, bistro's and restaurants. For those more adventurous we have the swoop track and duelling rings, one of each in the two areas of our complex, the Force and non-force zones."

 

Zara paused as they reached the elevator.

 

"There are training rooms in both areas also, your room is in the Golden Wing within the Force zone of our complex."

 

One of her personell approached her as she stood waiting for the elevator, stating that there was a new prospective employee that had been led to the conference room.

 

"Offer him refreshments please. I'll be there soon."

 

Back towards Draken, she added,

 

"If you will excuse me, I have to meet with someone. If you require anything, please let me or one of my people know. Enjoy your stay here Count Shadowlord"

[Conner]

He walked onto the fighter and pre-paired to launch from the casino. The destination was already set bye the two little droids. Sitting down as the Skyecat launched and waited till they reached space to change from the cloths he was wearing to the appropriate clothing that was left for him.

 

Coming out of the changing room he opened the case that contained the two vibroswords that the security guards took from him and clipped them on his belt. He sat back down in the pilot seat as he took the controls from auto-pilot. Looking at the little screen two his left as words came up from the droids telling him to go to hyperspace. ”œOkay you two know more then I do so here we go”

[Kal]

A COM came in for Zara. It was a recorded video COM. It showed Kal with two of his droids in the picture.

 

~com~

--------

I know you do not like me sending this COM to you. However I send it because I need to talk to you about numerous items. First item is that I am sorry about the kiddnapping. Belive it or not I had a good reason. The next item is that Piccolo is dead. He is no longer among the living and the Black Sun has changed. The grudge between him to you was only him and not the Black Sun. I am now in charge of quite a bit of the Black Sun. I wish to offer peace. We will neather meet at your place or one of the sun. Instead I propose middle ground KVC and I are starting to become accustomed to seeing each other. We will both meet in the last call and talk of this peace. There is no need for bad blood or ill will for either of us. I will also try and explain to you why I did kinnap you and what my plan of intent was with you before everything become a nightmare. Please respond soon.

 

Kal.

~com~

[Zara Nargal]

Receiving the comm with her internal chip unit, Zara kept a neutral expression on her face, her eyes hardening by the sound of the voice and the image feed she could see within the confines of her mind. Peace?! He wants to talk of Peace? The nerve of him! How dare he even think I'd meet with him after that stunt he pulled. He put not only me in danger but my twins as well! Her thoughts were wild, angry. It was just as well she was still in a forceless environment otherwise the wind would have picked up around her with her anger.

 

Zara took a deep breath, then another, attempting to keep herself under control as she waited for Draken's response to her having to leave him with another escort so she could interview another potential employee.

[darth shadowlord]

Draken nodded his acceptance about her going to meet with a future employee. "I have no problem with that, Miss Nargal. You have a business to run, Far be it from me to interfer with that. I have just one request. Would you join me for supper?"

 

He reached into his cloak and relinquished his lightsabre to the Casino guards. Then he removed the four daggers that he carried on him and set them onto the table. "Be very careful of my weapons, the daggers are poison laced and the sabre has several traps built into the hilt that can be set off easily."

 

He turned back toward Zara in time to see her eyes harden. "Is something wrong?"

[Zara Nargal]

Draken's weapons were taken care of cautiously, placed into a locker for his retrieval on his exit.

 

Zara inclined her head towards the Count, her expression softening somewhat before she answered him.

 

"I'd love to have supper with you Count. What time?"

 

With regards to his question regarding something being wrong, she politely shook her head,

 

"Nothing that you need to be concerned about Sir. A message from someone that I had trouble with a while back is all. Nothing I can't handle."

 

Internally with her comm, Zara sent out a message to another of the Link employees to present himself to Count Draken Shadowlord to guide him around the Casino.

 

"If you will excuse me then Sir. One of my employees will join you shortly to escort you around the Casino's many sites."

 

Zara inclined her head respectfully before turning away, heading towards the interview room where Faick Ond was.

 

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long. You wish to join the Link? What area interests you and what are your skills"

 

(be descriptive please)

[Dashel Illioni]

::Comm: To Zara Nargal :

::Source: Unknown, rerouted without origin identification :

::Message: Thank you for the ship you sent me. Without a doubt it matches and exceeds the specifications I designated for it. The gift basket was much appreciated, especially the Suale Temple Oil.

::Comm: End :

[darth shadowlord]

"What time, Miss Zara? How about half past seven? By the way, if that com turns out to be more then what you think you can handle. Feel free to alert me and I will come to your aid. Until then Miss Zara." Draken bowed from the hip to her and watched her walk away before he turned and headed toward his room.

 

Once in his room, he slowly took off his clothing and slipped into his shower. He turned the hot water on full and stepped into the shower, reveling in the hot water pressure of the shower. He spent nearly an hour under the water before stepping out of the of the shower and went to get changed as soon as he dried himself off.

 

After he had dried off, he tied his hair back and secured it in a golden ring. Then he slid on a black shirt with a silver lining down the sleeves and then pulled on a black pair of pants and his black boots and headed from his room.

 

He took the private elevator down to the Casino floor and walked into the gambling floor.

[Zara Nargal]

"Count Shadowlord. Allow me to show you around. Ms Nargal said she will join you for dinner after she completes her meeting."

 

The staff member waited to see what the Count would like to do first, or see first.

 

[Menthu]

"yea of course I am part of the team now, that why I got kidnapped and taken here right."

He made a question in to a statement as to leave no room for argument,

He stood up and streched,

"well I am off to go take a short walk."

 

((wow responding to a post that was like two weeks ago.))

[darth shadowlord]

"Very well, show me the various sights of the Casino. How about you show me the force free areas first"

[Kal]

Another COM came from Kal for Zara.

 

START COM

--------------

Zara. This is a serious matter that needs to be dealt with soon as abled. Just because we have had our problems in the past does not mean we can mend them now and move forward. I am awating your replay.

Kal

--------------

END COM

[Zara Nargal]

"If you will just excuse me for a moment Count Shadowlord"

 

The staff member stepped aside after a polite bow to the Count and sent a message to Procs

 

-- comm --

 

We have a guest that requires an escort around the Casino. A Count Draken Shadowlord. If you would like to report to the main lounge to show him around please.

 

-- end comm --

 

"There will be another of our employees here shortly to escort you around. His name is Proc's and he has only been with us a short while."

 

 

While waiting in the conference room for Faick she received another comm from Kal. Leaving the forms for Faick to fill in (I still want you to be descriptive with your post of what your experience is, what you want to go into etc) Zara excused herself to take the comm, leaving the room and getting her secretary to look after him while she was otherwise occupied.

 

She headed down to her Office in the Force Zone, her emotions wild as she listened to the comm from Kal. Wind started to pick up around her office, blowing loose objects around the room that she would have to pick up later. Zara forced herself to calm down, breathing in deeply. The wind slowed to a breeze, then stopped as she finally got control of her emotions. Without Sabian's guidance, it took her longer to control herself now. Her children's powers were growning also, almost as fast as they themselves were growing. The twins were smart for their age, and Mellanie was already crawling, almost walking and already 'reaching' for toys and things like she saw her siblings do.

 

Zara would have to go have this meeting she supposed, though she would want her people with her for protection. Being as he suggested the Last Call in his first comm, the twins would love to see their godfather... besides which, Zara wanted to show off Mellanie to Kheldar, Ame and Kas.

 

She mulled over what the first and second comms contained. He had confirmed that Piccolo was dead. That he was 'in charge' of Black Sun gave her a few reasons for concern, even though all the security measures for the Casino had been changed since he had betrayed her. Giving it alot of thought, she sent a short reply.

 

-- encrypted comm to Kal --

 

Don't think I'll trust you so easily after what you did, because I don't. I will meet with you at the Last Call, but don't expect me to go alone. I will have my people with me. If you harm either myself, or my children, you will find yourself standing on very dangerous ground.

 

-- end comm --

 

Trying to stop herself from getting angry again, and giving herself practice with her force abilities, Zara began to 'pick up' the mess she had previously caused, using the Force and the powers of a Dathomir Witch, cleaning up her now tornado damaged office.
