"Athyna? Yes, I do." Shia grinned, and then gasped as someone walked through her manifestation and tackled her brother practically. I mean, being a ghost is fun sometimes, but it is still disorienting when someone is standing half inside one's self! Shia made all sorts of faces just behind Sin for the sheer heck of it, and gave her a ghostly shoulder massage in the process with ghostly, ethereal hands that flickered in the light. Peeking around her, she replied to Reyn.
"Absolutely. It has been far too long. I wonder if I can get drunk in this form...and no, no I haven't. I was about to ask who this is. You get around don't you, vod'ika?"
She peered down at herself curiously, then eyed Sinistra's form before rolling her eyes at Reyn."Sinistra. What a party!" Reyn chuckled good naturedly and called out for three tihaars, letting Sin's hand down with a slightly flirtatious squeeze."I have been known to go a-roving here and there, I shall not deny. The galaxy is a often a cold and lonely place, after all." When the tihaar was brought, he handed one to his two companions and kept one for himself, raising a glass."K'oyaci! It is good to see so many old faces again."

With his official duties taken care of for the day. Wilhelm strolled out from the back stage area into the Main Hall and walked along it's length, taking note of all those that had arrived since the Sithies started. Suddenly he spotted Shiarael, somewhat taken by her appearance. He approached her, a glass of whiskey in his hand =Dr Wilhelm Van Buuren= Why hello there... Dr Wilhelm Van Buuren... Nice to meet you...

Taking a step in from the crowd, that had obviously been in at all before despite not being mentioned before Mike watches a rather sketchy doctor talking to some sort of mando... more importantly the man had whiskey. Walking nearby I quickly steal the glass from the man and drain it. Thanks I flash my usual half-smile to the man I'd never met.

"There is truth in that, however---" she broke off musingly, accepting her mug of tihaar with alacrity, raising it to Reyn and Sin, and then drinking deeply of the alcohol contained within. It was lucky that she had decided to solidify her presence from her earlier ghostly appearance into something more solid. Otherwise the tihaar would have been difficult to enjoy. "Speaking of cold and lonely," she added, with a sidelong look over at Wilhelm Van Buuren as he seemed to be looking at her rather intently. She took another drink of the Mandalorian alcohol and licked her lips before winking over at the host of the evening's festivities. Not daring to look at Reyn as the bloke ambled over towards her, "Scuse me, vod'ika," she stepped out of his party with Sinistra momentarily and approached Wilhelm.
"Hello Wilhelm," her low musical voice pronounced the name slowly, not having had occasion to use it before. "I'm Shiarael Rhi'an, but, I suppose you could just call me 'Shia' if you want." The Mando female smiled warmly before again partaking of her rather substantial mug of tihaar. That was about when his glass of whiskey was swiped by---a Corellian? Most likely, judging from the alcoholic predisposition of the fellow in a venue where beverages abounded but he couldn't even wait till he reached the bar to get some.
"You can share some of mine if you like," she offered to Wilhelm in a gesture that was truly magnanimous coming from her.

* Rowan sips slightly on his drink and looks at the crowd...this doctor character seems interesting as does the lady he is talking to

Terra had been happy to let Jade accept the award for Best Duo, having never been good at giving speeches herself. It felt nice to win, though, though part of her wished Serrin was here to see it. Not that she wasn't happy with Jade, of course. She was certainly very lucky to be Jade's apprentice...
Looking through the crowd, she suddenly spotted Morgan, and her face broke into a grin as she quickly made her way over."Morgan!!"

That is because she uses her lack of age to run around nude.

Wilhelm was a little disappointed when that sneaky Corellian bastard stole his whiskey from his hand. To be fair, the situation was suddenly made better by the fact Shia offered him some of her Tihaar =Dr Wilhelm Van Buuren= Well thank you Shia... Wilhelm accepted a the offer of the Tihaar, having never experienced the deliciousness of Tihaar before. He couldn't quite descern if the taste was made better by the fact it was Shia's Tihaar, but he was going to just assume it was the reason. Wilhelm noticed the man that was watching him and Shia, when he raised his hand to about mid height of Shia's back to use as a guide =Dr Wilhelm Van Buuren= Perhaps you would like to join me in the VIP area? Keep prying eyes away...

"Reyn, you would tempt the devil herself."
She bowed to Shia in greeting, suddenly double fisting drinks with a tihaar in one hand and some Black Cask in the other.

Reyn laughed with his characteristic deep, charming gusto. He had forgotten how nice it was to play these little games. It reminded him of so many happy mortal memories. "I assure you, I have." He winked and gave her a mischievous smile. "So tell me Sin, how has the galaxy been treating you? You seem quite well."

"Amazingly well, I am the recently declared Emperor of the Galactic Empire. We defeated the Mandalorians and Sin has been consolidating power together under herself as Dark Tide went from a darkside faction to an honest to Bogan empire. We are working on a WW2 style cold war and everything is splendid. I have been branching out to write with new people and enjoying the experience of meeting and learning about those who had not crossed my path previously."
She sipped the whiskey in her right.
"How about you? Death treating you well?"

For a criminal who was always on the run, and never kept to a schedule for more than a few days at a time, events such as these never came at a convenient time. But it didn't matter. The Writer had a schedule to keep, and the Writer didn't mind interrupting daily life, whether it be a mundane smuggling run, or the starship heist of the year. And so here I was, unpleasantly scooped up with mere hours of warning, and transported away for the great yearly spectacle. I didn't really and truly mind, because I loved the Writer, and I loved the Sithies event. But I would have liked a little more time to find something presentable to wear, rather than being snatched from the streets of a fashion-forsaken Outer Rim world and told to make do with whatever I could find.
There actually had been one solitary shop selling the latest ladies' Coruscanti fads on Cloud City, but they didn't have anything that would fit an Epicanthix. Oh no. Their clientele consisted exclusively of the petite, pure-blooded human wives of Imperial upperclassmen. My presence in the store might have caused quite a stir had it been during business hours, so naturally, I chose to visit after hours. That way was a lot more fun, anyway. The only downside was that I had to try on clothes by glowrod, which made any bright color look distorted and muted. The burglary had been a mixed success. No one noticed me, but there were no dresses my size. I had to settle for an azure blouse whose sleeves were six inches too short. Ten minutes' work with a knife later, it was sleeveless, and much more comfortable. The skirt was a little easier --- I found a nice black one that was intended to be ankle length, and it comfortably came to just below my knees. The waistband was tight, but as long as I didn't eat very much, it would be survivable (or so I hoped).
And then, poof, here I was, my face still bloodied from breaking through a glass partition on our last mission, my hair only hastily pulled back, and my combat boots badly in need of a new coat of shine. Still slightly in shock at the sudden transportation, I stood in the middle of the hall, glancing around cautiously as I sized up the crowd. I felt half-naked without my blasters, which had magically disappeared some time in the last thirty seconds. Mentally, I began tagging potential threats and victims, even though I knew the security policies were extremely tight. There were some habits I just didn't know how to turn off.

Looking through the crowd, she suddenly spotted Morgan, and her face broke into a grin as she quickly made her way over."Morgan!!" *Morgan had went with Jake to get some food, and the food here here was, as expected, really good. But despite the selection, Morgan of course was more interested in the sandwiches. They probably could have been a little bit better if she'd been able to make them herself, but they were still really good! She had half-finished one when she heard someone call her name and he spun around to see Terra approaching!*Terra! *Morgan beamed and leapt up to her, wrapping her arms around her neck and clinging to her.*I didn't know you were here! Oh, congratulations!

Adrien had spent most of his night low-key, opting to remain behind the curtain instead of in the crowd. His duties as host were approaching quickly and his absence wouldn't go unnoticed for much longer. His mind of course was elsewhere, or rather his writer's mind was elsewhere, but as he listened to the awards being handed out so far he became more and more in the Sithies mood. Though he couldn't help but to feel slight disappointment when he lost out for Best Non-Force character, not because he felt that he deserved it more or that he wasn't happy for Gideon, but rather because of all of the awards that one was near and dear to his heart, but always seemed to be just out of reach. It was no matter, he would congratulate Gideon and the rest of the nominees in good time, but first he wanted to mingle. He straightened his tie and walked out into the crowd, glancing over the faces around him.
His attention was caught fairly quickly by Sinistra, and who's attention wouldn't be? But she seemed to be occupied at the moment, not that that particularly mattered to him but there were other faces that caught his eye as well, namely Liya Tawaza and Galdaart Fel. It had been a long time since he had talked to either of them, the last time he was even in the same room with either of them he was being held as a prisoner of sorts. Nonetheless he made his way toward Liya, who appeared to be casing the room. With a smirk on his face he touched her lightly on the shoulder to get her attention, "If I didn't know better I'd say you felt out of place."

*Jake made sure to sample all he could, without eating too much and prematurely filling his stomach, but the temptations of each dish were too great. He was doing his best, but there was a particular dish, barbecued ribs, that he just couldn't get away from. They were a bit messy with the copious amount of sauce, but that's what made them so amazing! He didn't think anything could draw his attention away from this, but then he heard Terra and he jumped, turning around to see her approach and Morgan go to embrace her.* Oh! Terra! Hi! *A quick glance at a nearby reflective surface revealed just how messy his mouth was. Eep! That was no way to present himself to a lady! Quickly he started to wipe his mouth off on his sleeve— No! That would ruin his jacket! Too late. Darn, what to do now! He set down the luscious meat and grabbed a napkin and scrubbed at his jacket to try to clean off the sauce as best he could, to little success. Groaning, he instead just wiped off his mouth and hands and gave Terra a sheepish little smile.* Hi Terra... oh, and congratulations. *Sigh, this wasn't a good start to the night. He should've been paying more attention, thinking more straight, but nope, his jacket had barbecue sauce stains on the sleeve and he'd given off a goofy first impression. Well, not first impression, but it still wasn't a good one. ... wasn't the worst way he'd presented himself to Terra before, but still.*

After clearing the circus outside Jud entered yet another ring of personal-space hell. He found himself shoulder to shoulder with people he knew, hardly knew, or never cared to know. Their incessant chattering, like that of an annoying gnat buzzing around his ears. He cursed under his breath, making his way towards another set of doors located at the end of the hall.
Jud was about to continue on, but stopped, realizing that he had almost walked by a bar. "What an excellent suggestion..." He mused to himself, with a smile and a chuckle, before bowing his head, and making a motion as if letting someone walk past him towards the bar before following himself. "Can't stay dry in a place like this. They're libel to pick me apart, the savages." Jud continued, as he harried his way towards the bar. Careful not to run or bump into anyone, less he be seen or recognized.
"Thallrika, double... Actually make that two doubles. Chop chop." Jud said to the bartender, though he was watching over his shoulder, his single eye darting from face to face, making sure he was still unnoticed and in the clear.
"Sure...?" Was the reply from within the bar. Not the most confident either. "Thallrika? Yah...Um."
Jud's single eye burned red as he turned to face the bartender. "Are you inept? Do I need to educate you in some way?" The Sith asked through gritted teeth. "Its that bottle, the dark one on the end there, with the shiny stamp and clasp." Jud's eye meandered over towards the barkeep's right. "Forget about the doubles, just give me the damned bottle..."
"But, sir, I..."
"The bottle." Jud replied, and the bartender simply handed the bottle over, his hands trembling as Jud's skeletal fingers clasped around the neck of it. "Well done, well done." He chimed, nodding his head before sauntering off, back into the crowd of attendees.

Nonetheless he made his way toward Liya, who appeared to be casing the room. With a smirk on his face he touched her lightly on the shoulder to get her attention, "If I didn't know better I'd say you felt out of place." Of course Adrien Draykon was the first one to greet me upon my rather sudden arrival. If you had asked a Hutt for odds on that one, they would have been pretty low, maybe even halfsies. He was drawn like a magnet to women, and here I was, standing all alone, which to Ade was always an open invitation. Turning slowly as he tapped me on the shoulder, I smirked right back, and answered in a low voice. "We're both out of place, there's absolutely no crime allowed, and even if we did try something, it would certainly be annulled by the Writers." I nodded toward the crowd. "Look at all this jewelry. It's like being in a bakery, but not being allowed to actually eat any of the fresh bread." Letting out a sigh, I eyed the smuggler captain quizzically, secretly wondering what he would look like with a crooked nose. But tonight wasn't the night for those sorts of games. The Writer said I was supposed to be "nice" --- whatever that meant. And he was a part of the smuggling world, which made him much more of an ally that most of the others in the room, even if he was a business rival of Fel. "But how are you, Adrien? It's been a while, and I feel like I owe you a punch in the face, but I don't remember why."
