There is a price on anything (Open)
« Thread Started on Mar 3, 2009, 8:04pm »

Deep in the back of a store in Sullust sat the young Felication, he was curled up holding onto his legs.
Solin slowly scratched a mark in the side of the cage, another mark of how many days he had been in this dark and gloomy place.

Every now and then people would pass by his cage and peer inside only to see his glowing feline eyes in the dark.
Eventually all of them passed, no one would want him anyways he wasn't a Twi'lek.

After hours the feeding man came by and threw a pile of slop into Solin's cage, he looked at it and reached forward slowly.
As he was reaching forward a prehensile tongue shot it's way across the isle and swiped up the vile meat or whatever it was.
Solin sniffled a little and curled back up into the corner.

He wanted so much to see his mother again, even though he knew she was gone forever.
After a moment several more people came by his cage and looked at him, after talking to the slave owner they looked back into the cage at him.
Solin hissed at the woman who was closer and she backed away.
The slave owner immediately pulled him from the cage and dragged him down into a basement.

Strapping him to a large rack the man pulled out a large metal pole and began beating him, a half hour or so later Solin's leg was broken and he was pulled back upstairs and thrown into his cage.
Coughing several times he curled back into the corner and started licking his wounds clean.

Daylight shone through a high up window and he waited for something to happen as the loud noises of the city hummed around him, one of the less than great benefits of having large ears.

The stars started to come into view once more as a young woman made the jump out of light speed. One of these days she was going to get herself a first mate even it if meant she had to share her baby with someone else. She smiled as she came out of lightspeed at her destination. She was on hiatus so to speak when the Hutts had called her in to do a job and she was now delivering cargo on Sullust. Why she didn't know what was in the cargo she didn't really know. All she knew was that if she didn't make the right moves she could lose her life and her ship. That was what she loved about the business though. The pure rush of excitement was what the girl lived for. It wasn't like she had much else to live for at the moment.

Some would say the girl was just taking up precious air and space. She lived up to her name though. She had reasons for what she did whether she ever told you was a different story. "Good boy Hawk. Just a little father baby and we'll be back on vacation." Her voice was not rough or harsh but rather sweet and angelic. Something she could charm anyone with. That was harden criminals as well. She asked for permission to land and was granted it. She set Hawk down in docking bay 45 and proceeded to make contact with the people who needed her cargo. They came at once which made her happy. The exchange did not take long which was much to her liking. They nodded heads and what not and then headed off in different directions. She paid to get Hawk refueled and went about working on him just a little bit before she went out on the town herself so to speak.

She walked through the city which much to her unliking was nosie and busy. She didn't much like the day time on any planet but it was nothing compared to the suns on Tatooine. She didn't miss the planet. No when she thought of that place it was her brother that she was missing. A slave sale caught her eyes. She looked at the amount of money she had in her pocket to see if she had any that she could buy the freedom for one of them with. She wasn't much into the whole slave trade. As a matter of fact she hated it. Then again there was not much that she could do about it really. She just had to deal with it. So anytime she found a slave market she would try to buy at least a few their freedom if she could. It looked like today she had money for just one.

She walked to the man that was showing them off. She sighed greatly and then put on the I want a slave routine that she did all the time. It was a wonder that they didn't get what she was doing from the get go but she was a rather well trained actress and deciever so to speak. A rogue in the land of no laws. The only law was the law of space. Oh how she longed to go back up again. No she had pressing matters to attended to before she could. She walked by cage after cage after cage they seem to just glimps quickly over one. She stopped and looked in to see all the way to the corner.

There sat the one she wanted. He seemed so young and he looked hurt. That made her angry but she did not show it. She turned to the guy who was babbling on about someone else in another cage but she stopped listening long ago. In the tongue of the dealer she said. "How about this one." Pointing to the young boy curled up in the cage. The dealer went on about something. She smiled and very sweetly said. "I want him Please. Get him out and let me get a better look at him then I will pay you." She was going to cut her price offer in half depending on how hurt the young one was exactly. She would not ever pay asking price for anyone that she had freed. It wasn't because she was cheap it was because she had to pull the business woman trick on them. She waited paitently at least for her tapping the blaster pistol at her side it things got a little well messy.

Solin
Solin watched the light shine through as another customer walked into the back room, he was almost assured that she would pass by his cage and ignore him as many others had done.
After all Felacatian’s weren’t the everyday kind of species you would see on the streets.
When the woman began looking through the cages he heard the shopkeeper trying to sell more of his female slaves, he was to full of himself most of the time and Solin didn’t like the greedy Twi'lek man very much.

Solin laid there in the cage trying to make himself more conferable, although it was rather hard to do in the metal cage.
Rolling over his injured leg bumped up against the floor and he let out a yelp moving as fast as he could to sit back up before the slave owner came back.

When Liraz walked up in front of his cage he scooted back into the corner trying not to be seen, he didn’t like being a slave, but he had no idea what it would be like to be owned by someone either.
His golden eyes glowed from the back of his cage and he held onto his injured leg tightly, but not tight enough to hurt himself.

NPC
The shop keeper grinned and lead the man back mumbling things about how he had the best slaves around.
Leading him to a cage with a young Twi'lek woman in it he grinned.
“How about her for those long space flights, if you know what I mean? Or are you looking for something more practical.”
He led him toward a cage with a bothan in it and he held out his hand again.
“Someone to clean your home or where you stay?”

When he saw Aries walking toward Solin’s cage he grunted.
“You don’t want this one he’s… difficult. Why not a good ship cleaner or something?”

The boy in the cage was young what did the Twi'lek showing her around expect him to be. She entertained the owner for a little longer. He was such and idiot if you asked her. Though she wasn't one that would generally be thought of as knowing anything from the way she was dressed and what not. She was intellegent beyond measure. She wasn't your typical as she was once called a outer rim rat. Or scum of the earth she got that a few times too. No she was well educated for someone in her position really because she had only herself to teach her from ten onward. Her brother showed her the ropes and then she took it and went. She learned quickly and there wasn't much that got past her.

She was getting rather annoyed with the sales man now. Again in his native tongue she asked him to take out the boy. "I have no use for a ship cleaner. That is where I live to begin with. Its how I make my business. I don't need a female companion. If you haven't noticed I am female. What I need is someone who needs a little work around the edges and someone that really could just be an all out companion and helper onboard. Someone who can be taught. I want him." She pointed back to Solin. She wanted to get the poor boy out of there. She had heard his yelp. She knew he was hurt and he didn't need to be there. The poor child was afraid and she could feel it.

She hated seeing children being sold off as slaves and this one had caught her eye and captured a piece of her heart slightly. She wanted him out and if she had too she'd kill the guy and free them all regardless of how much trouble that could get her into if the authorities that is saw what was going on. They never really made too much of a fuss when she decided to end things well not so good for the other people in mind. Though she was always quick to get out of trouble and hard to catch. The one time she was caught she got out of that simply by outwitting the other at their own game.

She tapped her foot waiting for him to remove the boy. "I haven't got all day. You said you were the best."

NPC
Seeing that the man wasn’t taking anything but the boy he grunted, he didn’t understand why anyone would want him.
“I told you he is difficult, and as so he was punished.”

He looked at Solin in the back of the cage and he reached in pulling him closer so that the man could see him.

Solin
Solin was getting a bad feeling off of the man, although he didn’t hiss at this one, his leg was already injured and he didn’t want to be completely useless.
When he saw the slave owners hand reaching in to grab him he jumped a little.
He felt the man’s greasy hand on his arm pulling him forward, as he was being dragged his leg bumped up against the floor.
Without even thinking Solin reached over and bit the man’s arm with his feline teeth, as soon as he did so he pulled himself off and scooted back, he was sure he would be punished harshly this time.

Liraz was getting very annoyed with the way this guy was working with the young boy. There was no reason that she could see for him being punished for anything. She watched closely as the slave owner got the boy out. She rather liked the fact that they were under the impression she was male. It might of had to do with the fact that the cloak she was wearing made her look like one. He didn't take to her rant about companionship though. She waited as patient as she could wait. She tapped her foot and just watched.

The boy bit the hand of the master so to speak. She tensed because she knew that that would get him punished if she didn't do something. She took a stance at the cage and looked in at the boy. She was probably giving him weird vibes anyways. She sighed and glared at the owner. If he laid a hand on the kid it was going to be the blaster to the head and she was getting all the slaves out of the place. You never knew what was going to happen with her. It was always a touch and go thing. She wasn't one to underestimate. She got what she wanted.
