Into the Fire

[Korstyn Steele]

[[Honestly not sure what's going on. What is "tactics" in relation to? Are you asking me to roll for her? What Ability is Tactics based off of?]]

[Rahullu]

Rahullu just looks at the combatants who looks sure to win, who has likely more fighting experience.

ooc:
Tactics [3d6+1] = 10+1 = 11

[Nova]

Caisy lets out a sigh.  "I...  I just was lonely and you and your friends seemed, well, mostly normal.  I guess I was wrong."

"You weren't wrong," Tibbs blurts out.  "We're in a prison.  It's not easy to trust people you've just met.  I've only been here a short while and I've already been attacked and nearly flattened.  It can make a person a little paranoid.  I'm sorry for whatever it is you think that they did.  They were just being stupid!" He looks at Nova. "Right?"  Then looking back to Caisy, "But  they weren't being purposely stupid.   They are just paranoid like the rest of us.  Like I'm sure you are too.  I personally would like to count you as a friend in this place.  There's not too many people who seem nice, like you seem to be."

Caisy rolls over suddenly at the sound of Jendu's voice. "I don't know, friends. I'm not even sure what to call you. It seems like you guys are hiding some big secret."

Nova nodded, surprised that Jendu had piped up, but glad too that the young senatorial was bringing some convincing oratory to bear here, "Right? Uh... right! Right on, Tibbs! 

She turned back to Caisy, "I mean, I'm paranoid about everything already. Hell, I thought you were going to try to kill me in my sleep, Red. I stayed up almost all night ready to sock you one, just in case you did try something. But now look at us, you've got a new boyfriend," she pointed at Jendu, "and a new best friend," at that Nova bowed, indicating herself.

Then she cleared her throat, realizing she'd begun to run at the mouth and that what she was saying wasn't exactly helping matters. Recalibrate flight controls. "Look, I've run guns and smuggled spice from the Far Reaches to the edge of Wild Space. I shipped secrets for a living. And everyone's got a secret."

Then she gestured at the surrounding cells, "Even in here. But it's like you said. I'm... mostly normal. And there's nothing more normal than privacy and paranoia in a place like this. But it's also like Tibbs said. There's nothing better than someone having your back."

Then she looked at Caisy, "Right?"

[Jendu Verbenti]

Caisy rolls over suddenly at the sound of Jendu's voice. "I don't know, friends. I'm not even sure what to call you. It seems like you guys are hiding some big secret."

"You're right," Jendu replies.  "I'm not really sure what it really means to be friends in a place like this.  And honestly, I have known these guys only slightly longer than I've known you so how big of a secret could we really have between us.  All I know is that right now, friends mean someone to help watch my back. But now you have me really thinking that maybe it would be better if you didn't know me.  Since it appears that I might be being targeted for some reason, I need someone to watch my back but I wouldn't want anything to happen to someone that I might have a connection with that's greater then just mutual survival."

[Man in Black]

(The tactics roll was for the Wookie to evaluate the combatants.)

Rahullu looked over the combtants, but the best he could guess was 50/50. They each seemed to have attributes that countered the others. If he was right, it was going to be an interesting fight. The odds on favorite appears to be his former foe, though. One of the other inmates nudges the wookie. "Hey man, you beat him. What do you think?"

Caisy is quiet for a bit, but it looks like she is fighting a smile. "Ah, I can't stay mad. I guess it is kind of weird in here. So I can join you for breakfast in the morning?"

[Nova]

Caisy is quiet for a bit, but it looks like she is fighting a smile.  "Ah, I can't stay mad.  I guess it is kind of weird in here.  So I can join you for breakfast in the morning?"

Although she suspected that Caisy's suppressed smile was meant for Jendu, even if her remarks had been intended for them both, Nova did little to hide her relief. 

Thank the Whills, she said to herself. Nova hadn't blown their cover after all, nor had she lost a potential ally — and suspect  — in her cellmate. "Sure thing, Red." 

Then Nova winked at Caisy, "Just have Tibbs tap you on the shoulder when he wakes up — or whisper sweet nothings. Look out though, his other lucky ladies tell me he snores." 

[Rahullu]

Rahullu seems to ponder the question then he says. "Ghrowwasdfggrrrr"

occ: "I was not a fight i broke his spirit and its hard to tell i have not faced the other one, im sure it will be a good fight thou."

[Man in Black]

Caisy blushes a bit. "Well, normally I like to seem more modest, but it has been a long time for me. I could use the distraction, you know, if you like me." She bats her lashes at Jendu, but it only makes her blush more furiously.

"Last chance for bets!" the bookie announces as the opponents square off.

[Korstyn Steele]

Korstyn's only response to the last call is to lean against the wall and give the wookiee a look like 'you did this?  Seriously?'

[Rahullu]

Rahullu looks at the human and does the wookie eqivalent of a smile"Grhowwwarghrrow arghrroww"

occ: "Nope purple was our welcoming commite he and his crew wanted our food, So i had to break his spirit, it wasent a fight .I just grabbed him by the balls to show him he wasent so big, no trouble nice, could be he i trying to get even with attacking tibbs but i doubt it."
