Star Wars: Bounty Huntress

It took her a moment, but Caya reached down and pulled the belt off from around her waist. She then dropped it, and the blaster in the holster, down onto the table, leaning forward and motioning towards a small symbol, "See that? The little star engraved in it? I bet a good bounty hunter like you would know exactly what that means..."

Without any trouble at all, you recognize it. The symbol of the Black Sun Crime Syndicate is not one that is easily missed, and never indicates anything good. There's scum, and then there's scum...and the Black Sun is somewhere beyond both of those.

Eelysa Nara: Human/Female (Jedi Consular 2/ Soldier 2/ Scoundrel 1

The belt hit an unhappy cord with Eelysa, Black Sun wasn’t an organization she ever wanted to trifle with and Caya had placed herself in extreme danger. Nodding her head in understanding Eelysa tried to figure out how much danger they truly were in, “Caya? How often do you work that cantina? And how often do you bring your “dates” back to your ship?
 

Caya just smiled for a long moment, and there was something in it that you couldn't pinpoint. After a couple of seconds, she shrugged and said idly, "It depends. But if you're worried about the Black Sun coming after me, don't. They won't know he's dead for at least a day and even when they find him they'll find the little surprise I left them," she just smiled again, "Like I said, I can handle myself."

Eelysa wasn’t so sure if she believed Caya in regards to being able to take care of herself but she didn’t have much choice in the matter at the moment, “and if the young man had an appointment which he’s obviously not going to make now?”

Eelysa waves it off so they could focus at the matter at hand, “Anyhow, what else did the young man speak about and what did you leave behind for them to find?”
 

"If he had somewhere to be, then they'll just find him earlier," Caya shrugged casually, "His hands in his jacket pocket holding a thermal detonator with its dead man's switch activated. They pick him up...his hand's only loosely on it so it'll let go...boom. And no way to trace it back to me, or you."

She added the last part swiftly and smiled, leaning back again and leaving the belt and blaster on the table, "And he might have just told me where a certain weapon's dealer was when he found out I was looking for a little protection...so is that information worth a quarter still, or have I earned half yet?"

Eelysa had to give credit where credit was due, Caya sure seemed to have everything planned except for one small detail. Her blaster was on the other side of the table where Eelysa’s had two attached to her arm and it was a short subtle gesture that brought one of them to bear while Eelysa explained the situation to her, “Caya, you’re an incredibly bright girl, with an uncanny ability to avoid trouble, but to much so… I think you’re to bright of a girl to simply be one turning tricks.”

With her free hand Eelysa pointed for Caya to back up to a place where nothing was within reach, “I got no desire to kill you or harm you, I guess you can call me a gentleman after all, but I will leave you a smoking corpse if you so as much flinch.”

“Now I do need to be able to trust you and at this moment your abilities far exceed what I think a simple harlot should be able to accomplish so tell me about yourself, bring me up to speed, and we’ll talk about giving you fifty percent.”
 

Caya's smile grew into a very large grin, but she stepped into view and also kept her hands in view and off of the wall. She even laughed slightly, "You are different than most. They'd have just shot me and not asked questions...or tried to shoot, at least. But at least you're not as dense as most of them, either."

She went silent, eyeing the weapons curiously before looking straight through the faceplate again, "So, yes, you're right, I'm not just some simple harlot. I'm not a harlot at all, either, and never have been, so you can get that out of your head right now, Lance. And no, I don't have a brother, either. The brother thing makes most men think twice about trying anything stupid. And I'm not a bounty hunter either, so don't worry about any competition from me. I'm just a woman trying to make a living, and as you've probably figured out by now, I have very sharp eyes.

"I've also got a fast draw, a decent shot, and an okay pilot. With a wide list of talents, its easy to make a living. Be it smuggling, mercenary work, or simply gathering information, I'm better at than you or the rest of your types...though I still think there's something else about you that makes you unlike them. Which is why I'm telling you this without raising a weapon to you."


Her grin had faded into a more serious look, "And yes, that idiot kid cracked when I had the blaster to his gut and told me where that Rodian was earlier today. He's probably still there, too, but I'm not telling you a thing until you do some things for me. Most importantly, lowering your weapons, cutting me in for fifty percent, and indulging me by telling me exactly what it is that I can't pinpoint about you. I've got a damned good feeling its got something to do with that armor, because no one wears a bright getup like that and keeps a mask unless they've got something to hide."

Eelysa nodded, Caya was starting to make sense though it still bothered Eelysa how the two of them had made connections but she had her suspicious that the force was involved.

However, It still didn’t cure all of her suspicion and she didn’t give in to Caya’s demands, “Nice to finally hear something close to the truth but I’m sure you’ll understand if I take it with a grain of salt. I suspected the brother, and soon suspected the harlot part… Which will probably make this next part more difficult for you.”

“Strip, start with your outer garments. I want you to squish every square millimeter of each article. When, if, something hard is found your going to tell me what it is and than wait for me to order you to remove it. At I give that order you’ll close your pretty brown eyes and remove the object in question. Now if we find a weapon we’re going to pass over it until we finish with that article.”

“After we finish with the objects you can drop them on the floor, or place them on the floor lightly if I deem them delicate. Articles of clothing without weapons you’ll toss to the left, you’ll have them back as soon as we get done with this inspection, articles of clothing with weapons will go to the right. Once I assure myself of a few things you can have them back and we'll talk the business at hand. Simple enough, eh?”
 

Caya's smile was not a happy one, but it did look dangerous. Her voice was calm as she stared straight at the faceplate still, "At least your typical enough to not know when to trust someone. But you aren't gettin' that much, pal, and you've got nothing to bargain with. You try to shoot me, and the least of your problems will be not getting your information. So you're going to just have to trust me as blindly as I'm having to trust you."

She paused, eyeing the weapons again, then spoke in a slightly more icy voice, "Now we're going to try this one more time. Right there on the table is the only weapon I was carrying. If you can't believe that, fine, but you'll have to live with it. If you're smart, which I have a feeling you are based on previous actions, you're going to do those three things that I asked and this whole nasty situation won't have to be nasty for anyone. Lower your weapons, I'll stay right here in plain sight and keep my hands in view, then you say you'll cut me in for fifty percent...and then you indulge me as I did for you just a moment ago. Then, and only then, will you get the information you want."

Even within her helmet Eelysa remained emotionless, she would gain no pleasure from seeing Caya naked but it wasn’t something she was going to explain, “Theirs enough scum in the galaxy that I don’t really need to worry about Eslin and rather or not I capture him. To be honest I lack the pride to have to capture every mark that I see a bounty on, I want to retire, and pride just gets you in trouble. It will even get you killed.”

“I trusted you blindly Caya and I had to pull a gun on you to get the truth, its not a good way to build trust, besides I’m the one in the armor, I’m the one with the repeating blaster and an itchy trigger finger so don’t tell me I have nothing to bargain with…”



Eelysa pauses, hopeful that Caya will see the truth behind her words and the comments about pride getting one killed, “You’ve already told me you only have one weapon and its on the table so why not simply accept it. You have nothing to bargain with and strip now.”
