A Trip to Coruscant (Semi-Closed)

[Dalethria2]

After a rather rude occurance at Yog's Bar & Grill, Sanis Prent was led to his ship by a rather quiet young girl. She tugs on his jacket as he carries the boxed leftovers from their dinner, trying to make sure he doesn't drop anything in the murky swamp.

Eventually, Daleethria drags him all the way to where the hanger bay is and stops in front of Sanis' ship. She looks up at Sanis, her eyes wide with curiosity and then look to the packages in his hand. She carefully takes them from him and waits.

OOC~ Obviously, this takes place after Destiny's Call

also another note. This thread is closed but feel free to email me or Sanis if you wish to join ^_^

[Sanis Prent]

(Sanis let the brunette girl take the boxes from him as he paid the fuel delivery man. Quickly, the fuel was siphoned into Sanis' ship, and Sanis took the girl's hand as they both climbed into the large freighter. Sanis walked through the main cabin, and showed the girl a comfortable couch.)

You can sit here if you want, or up in the pilot pod with me. I'm just gonna clear my flight plan with control, and we'll shake this little planet off our boots.

(Sanis gathered up several papers, which contained flight codes he needed to recite to Dagobah flight control, in order to be cleared for exit)

[Dalethria2]

A quick look around the main cabin, Daleethria knew this is where she didn't want to be. She followed Sanis out of the exit and headed for the cockpit.

[Sanis Prent]

(Sanis drummed his fingers across the control console as he waited for control to reply to his request. He turned to look at the mysterious girl, who had suddenly become quite fascinated with the pair of fuzzy Sabbacc dice hanging from the spanner frame on the ceiling.)

Control: Uh...Freighter Layla, designation 3433-Alpha, you are cleared for release into orbit and trans-system flight. Enjoy your flight, and thank you for visiting the Greater Jedi Order.

Sanis: Uh...thanks.

(Sanis clipped his flight plan notepad onto a pallette above him, and secured his safety strap as he began powering up the engines. Noticing that the girl was still enthralled by the dice, Sanis discreetly reached over, tugging her safety strap across her and fastening it. She turned to look to him)

Ready to blaze?

(Sanis shifts forward the throttle, and the freighter Layla begins to slowly slide forward, and flies out of the enormous hangar. Within minutes, Sanis and the girl are staring out at a sea of stars, with the pale blue glow of Dagobah glinting faintly behind)

[Dalethria2]

Daleethria watched Sanis strapped her into the chair and wondered if this would hold her if there was a crash of some sort.

She looked up at Sanis and watched him key the sequence to head into hyperspace. The view before her turned into a swirling sea of stars and her mind reeled back from it. Daleethria stayed focused on the view in front as her eyes glazed over. She stared off, not moving and only breathing very shallow.

Sanis felt the hairs on his neck stand since this was something that she pulled back at the bar.

[Sanis Prent]

(Sanis watched the girl in her complete awe of the flowing starfield, wondering if this is her first trip offworld. He moves to say something, but instead just smiles, wondering how amazing it must be to see something that he had long-since regarded as routine, for the very first time. Once hyperdrive was fully entered, Sanis unfastened his safety harness, yawning slightly. He reached to the console, and flipped a switch, turning the automatic piloting sequence on.)

Hey...I'm gonna take the hour back to Coruscant and take a nap. If you want, I've got a comfortable bed back in my quarters. I'm gonna crash on the couch in the galley.

(Sanis stood up, stretching slightly, and walking down the steps out of the pilot's pod. He lays down on the rather used-looking loveseat, legs hanging off the edge, as he attempts to get comfortable)

[Dalethria2]

She heard what Sanis said. Somewhere the information was processed in the back of her mind. Right now what was important is to deal with the flood of information that was entering at a fast pace. The swirling sea of stars broke her concentration for a brief moment and that was all it took.

It took ten minutes for her to calm the firing of neurons in her brain and information was tolerable once again. Daleethria tunred her head as if hearing what Sanis said for the first time and looked around, seeing that he wasn't there. It came to her that he offered his room to her and decided that sleep was much needed for her body.

She undid the strap to the chair and stood up. Daleethria already knew the way to his quarters since she was here before. The same trail of random mess led her right to the door. As soon as the door opened, she headed straight for the bed and kicked off her boots and jacket. She slid under the covers, letting the coolness finally turn to warmth before she fell into a dreamless sleep.

[Sanis Prent]

(Sanis drifted off to sleep, the hum of the engines and gentle rattle of deck plates serving as a backdrop for his sleep. As he tossed and turned on the couch, he drifted into the land of dreams. For some reason the dream seemed to be the same every time. It was a dream full of shiny new starships, money, and bare-breasted women on horseback, bringing him beer. Sanis smiled unconciously...feeling completely at peace. However, tonight the dream was slightly different. As Sanis watched the dream unfold around him, he turned around, and She was there. Not bare-chested like the rest of the images of buxom beauty in his dream, but instead clad in a floral pastel-blue dress, like something Princess Grace of Monaco might have once worn. That nameless girl, who could say so much with no words. Sanis looked at her, then turned and looked back. The Starships, the money, the topless horseback-riding beer girls...were all gone. And yet Sanis did not feel mad or upset. It was like it all made sense, as even the strangest dreams do. Sanis opened his mouth to speak, but the silent brunette merely placed a finger to his lips, as if to say that he shouldn't say a thing, but merely ride out this spiritual rollercoaster with the wonderment of a child. The mysterious girl took him by the hand and began to lead him on...over a grassy hill. Sanis could only follow. To where she would lead him, well...

...and then Sanis woke up. All in all, it was the strangest and yet most interesting dream he had had in a long time)

[Dalethria2]

Her eyes opened quickly as soon as her internal clock told her that the Layla would be breaking out of hyperspace soon.

Arching her back upwards, it cracked and popped to releave the stress and aches from sleeping in this rather uncomfortable bed ... but it was one of the best naps that she ever had. Being locked away at the ROS base did nothing for her. Daleethria practically had to be awake 24-7 to make sure that her Sister, Daalethria, wouldn't haul off and kill Dalethrria at a moments notice. She learned how to sleep with her eyes open very quickly.

She threw the covers off her in a neat fashion, somehow the blanket and sheet folded perfectly in a triangle pattern. Daleethria slid out of the bed quickly and quietly. Putting on her boots, she decided that the temperature on the ship was sufficient enough that she did not need her jacket and left the private quarters in search of Sanis.

She easily found him sleeping peacefully on the couch through her sense in the Force. Walking on specific parts of the floor to not make a sound, Daleethria kneeled down at his side and looked directly at him, waiting for him to wake up.

[Sanis Prent]

(Sanis continued to sleep, shifting slightly on the loveseat)

[Dalethria2]

Realizing that Sanis is going to sleep all the way through the exit from hyperspace, Daleethria figures she should wake him herself.

Tilting her head to the side, she slowly extended a hand and placed it on his shoulder. Daleethria shook his arm with just the right amount of force to wake him. He might be taken by surprise so she is also prepared incase he wakes up in that state. She hoped he wouldn't.

[Sanis Prent]

(Sanis mumbles incoherently as the girl shakes him. She shakes slightly harder, and Sanis finally wakes up, falling off the loveseat from his awkward sleeping position and banging his head on the floor slightly. Sanis sits up, rubbing the side of his head as he wakes fully)

Ah...damn...okay, I'm awake, ow...

(Sanis yawns, running a hand through his hair as he turns and looks at the brunette)

Oh...hey, how long have you been up? We should be...

(A beeping sound gets his attention)

...dropping out of hyperspace right about now.

[Dalethria2]

Her eyes open wide as she hears the beeping noise and stands up. Absently, she puts a hand to the spot where Sanis hit his head, rubbing it gently. Slowly the pain and bruise that was forming disappear.

Daleethria fixes his messed up, sleep ridden hair. Carefully placing the strands of hair back to the perfection it once had at the bar. When she is satisfied that he is alright and a little presentable, she heads off to the cockpit.

[Sanis Prent]

(Sanis was once again dumbfounded. She fixed his hair, and was concerned that he had hurt his head. He'd known her less than a day, and yet she was making more of an impression on him than anyone he could remember. Sanis snatched himself out of his train of thoughts, and followed the brunette up to the pilot pod, seating himself in the pilot's seat. Sanis eased back on the throttle, and the starstreaks shrank into twinkles as they slid back into realspace. Up ahead, the looming planet-city bustled, cluttered starship traffic already visible as they entered the Coruscant system. Sanis activated the comm)

Uh, Coruscant control, this is UCT34345. Requesting permission for landing clearance in Sector 3228.

(Silence echoed back for a few seconds, and Sanis caught himself looking over to the side at the young girl. After a few moments, a static-filled voice could be heard)

Control: UCT34345, your request is noted. Landing clearance in sector 3228 will be given in 15 minutes. Please stand by. Control out.

(Sanis sat back in his seat. There was always something about Coruscant rush hour. Oh well. He turned to the girl, hoping for a rare chance at conversation)

So, I guess tell me a little about yourself...I mean, heh, I don't even know your name.

[Dalethria2]

Daleethria looked out the viewport at the dark grey and black sphere before her. She wondered how it would be like on a planet that was all buildings and technology. Should proved to be most interesting for new senses that she hasn't experienced yet.

Her eyes blinked once and moved to look over at Sanis out of the corner of her eye. Slowly her head turned to meet his gaze, her hair sliding down her shoulders as she tilted her head. Daleethria processed Sanis' question and looked down to the controls. It was just as messy as the rest of the ship. Luckily, she found a data-pad and punched on a few keys. When she was through, she handed the data-pad to Sanis. She leaned back in her chair and went back to her musings about this planet as he looked down and saw one word.

"Daleethria."

[Sanis Prent]

(Sanis scratches his head as he reads the datapad. D aleethria? That can't be. Not only do the two of them look remarkably the same but they also have the same...

...Sanis shook the thought out of his head as he descended into Coruscant's atmosphere. As he piloted Layla along her course vector, he looked at Daleethria again. She couldn't be her...aside from the fact that they look identical and have the same name, they seemed to share no other similarities. The Dalethria that employed Sanis a week ago was domineering, rude, and rather unpleasant. Sanis would hesitate being in a locked room 30 seconds with the woman, much less travel the long way to Coruscant with her. However, Daleethria was different from that woman in every way. She was attentive, intuitive, reserved and interesting at the same time. As Sanis looked at her staring out the viewport, his mind wandered.

What if they really were the same person? It couldn't be! The woman who hired Sanis was millions of light years away, and acted nothing like the girl with the same name.

Sanis smiled as Daleethria's eyes lit up at the sights of the supermetropolis. For some reason, seeing her smile like that made him happy. He'd never felt it before, but he could've sworn he was in lo...

...Sanis banked sharply as he avoided an oncoming freighter. Quickly, he threw that thought into the back of his mind. How could he of all people think like that. Hell, he'd seen what happened to his friends when they started down that road. It changed them, and in ways Sanis vowed he'd never be changed.

The women he liked were all the same. Tight leather, big breasted chicks who didn't have time to swap emotional baggage and whose lips tasted of glitterstim. Yet...Sanis still found himself looking at that strange girl.

Daleethria, if that was her name, was the strangest and most interesting girl he had ever met before in his life. A few seconds later, Sanis curbed his emotional tangent and prepared to touch down in a specified docking bay. He switched several controls, and Layla began to descend into the bay...touching down softly. Sanis breathed in and out deeply, shutting down the ship's systems. He turned to Daleethria.)

Well, welcome to Coruscant...my home. What do you say we pay an old grey Wookie a visit?

[Dalethria2]

Daleethria held onto the sides of her seat as the ship jerk hard to avoid an oncoming ship. She could sense a mix of confusing emotions eminating from Sanis that she almost took control of the ship herself, but she knew that he would get it under control for some reason. What was really fascinating about his projections is that he comtemplated that he could love her. Daleethria forrowed her brow since that term and emotion was foreign to her. She decided that was something she would have to study later as the freighter landed safely in the docking bay.

As the final clang of the landing struts hit the bay, Dalethria looked over to Sanis. He may have calmed his mind down but Daleethria could tell that his body was still tense. His heart raced along with his deep breathing. She unfastens the belt and leans over to place a hand on Sanis' heart. No good is it to meet a Wookie when one is so ... stressed out. Sanis could feel a warmth wash over him that calmed his senses.

With a slight smirk, Daleethria removed her hand and headed to the ramp leading off the ship.

[Sanis Prent]

(Sanis lingered for a few moments, collecting himself. Finally, he powered down Layla, and got together a few things. He reached into his pocket, making sure he still had the collection of credit chits that he had accumulated. Good...they were all there. Enough to pay off the apartment, enough to pay off the freighter, and enough to play with after that. First things first, however. Sanis made his way out of the freighter, catching up with Daleethria. Parked outside the hangar, an old restored X-93 speeder sat ready to go. Sanis gestured to Daleethria, and she hopped in. Sanis soon followed, powering up the repulsordrive on the craft, and heading towards his apartment complex. On the way, Sanis started to talk)

Okay, when we get to my place, I've got to speak with the landlord, Younakka. Now, I want you to keep your eyes open. The old hairball doesn't like me at all, and he's about as crooked as an arthritic Twi'Lek's Lekku. I'm just gonna go in, pay off the place, and then leave. We've got a few places to go, and I wanna get the big stuff out of the way before anybody decides they want to break one of my kneecaps or something. After that, I'll show you around. Its a big planet, so stick close.

[Daleethria]

Daleethria listened intently to what Sanis' mission was on this planet. He was in debt and for some reason it pleased her that the credits she gave him would cover everything. She was also pleased that once business was taken care of, she would be able to see what this planet was all about. Daleethria lives to learn new sensations and information. This planet that was one huge metropolis is a resevior of numerous was overflowing with new information that Daleethria needed to focus a bit more on control. It was easily managed to divert the flux of information on another path.

Once settled mentally, she looked over at Sanis and frowned when he mentioned that physical harm could come to him. She knew that with her along, no one would get close enough to lay a hand upon him.

[Sanis Prent]

(Several minutes passed, as Sanis weaved his landspeeder through the tumultuous horde of Coruscant traffic. Eventually, he came to a tall and rather run-down apartment complex. Sanis carefully parked his landspeeder in the back of the parking lot, and hopped out of the vehicle. Daleethria soon followed, and Sanis gestured to her to keep quiet. Eyes shifting, Sanis was on the lookout for any of Younakka's dirty thugs. He was pretty sure that dirty hairball was on the lookout for him, and he'd rather go straight to Younakka than to have Younakka come to him.

Silently, Sanis and Daleethria walked into the building. Dirty floors, peeling paint on the walls, and other signs of disrepair were quite apparent, as they walked down one of the long halls. Eventually, they came to a big wooden door, with a dirty nameplate on the wall...)

YOUNAKKA - LANDLORD

Well...here we go.

(Sanis knocked on the door)
