Who Says Cheaters Never Prosper? [Ira]

[Kira Yamato]

So Ira had failed. Shame. He had actually expected more from here, but now he got to play the follow up which could be just as fun. Could be, depending on how she choose to react to his words. And if not. Well, if she had other plans she might not live long enough to see them through. Oh that'd be fun for him and for her from what he gathered. Until she died of course. Then all the fun would be over and he'd just have to find someone else to toy with. Such was the cycle however.

He stepped out of the shadows shaking his head his hat swaying slightly his golden eyes gazing upon her. ”You've made things......difficult Ira.” he said to get her attention, but he was sure she had sensed him long before in her Force. ”You let one of the Resistance members slip away.” he sighed as if it made his own job harder, which really it didn't, but she didn't need to know that. ”What do you plan on doing now that they know who you are?” he asked quietly looking up at her as if a thought hit him. ”Pardon me. The name's Kailix.” he said slightly tipping his hat. ”The boy was the piolt of the machine you were informed of.” he added. Not that he was sure she actually cared about most of this, but appearances were apperances.

[Ira]

He had been such a tease to her and her hunger had grown beyond the point of her control. She had ignored the trailing being the entire time as Ira had taken to feeding that hunger, another one had been found to serve as the hunter's prey for now. Her hands did not leave the woman's mouth and throat though at Kailix's words, although a low and deep, almost feral, growl came from the Togruta as she was disturbed with her work.

The woman's arms had been badly broken to prevent her resistance, and Ira had already forced the woman down onto her knees. Prior to Kailix's arrival, she had been offering sweet whispers of escape through death to the woman despite the fact that Ira had hardly the intention to simply let the woman have her suffering ended so easily. That seemed as if it would no longer be the case though considering she was being interrupted.

Ira lowered her head down next to the woman's, orange eyes looking up towards Kailix as she whispered softly into the woman's ear, a whimper and a shudder being given in reply to Ira's words. Ira slid her hand around the woman's throat, nails which had practically pierced the victim's neck slid around as Ira moved her hand, bright red marks being left in place. Quiet whimpers eventually stopped though, and Ira released her prey, letting her fall to the ground.

It made her feel so much better to feel that life slowly drain away from the woman. Suffocation and drowning seemed to be her favorite methods of delivering death if not by use of her beloved sabers. A content sigh came from the togruta as she rose from her kneeling position. And though she did her best to keep it quiet, her aura seemingly danced in delight, surging even, at the death. Only for a brief moment or so as it fell back under Ira's control.

"Oh, I failed to notice that. A pity," as she spoke her smile never left her black lips once. And why should it? She had gotten what she wanted at least. "Thanks for informing me." The togruta stood up straight and arched her back slightly, allowing it to crack as she did so.

"And why do my plans concern you any, hm?" Her voice is pleasant the entire time, almost as if she were in a euphoric state.

[Kira Yamato]

Kailix had to stop himself from joining in with her. Of course she had been doing the one thing he enjoyed more then messing with people. Inwardly he always supressed a sigh. Isafaro had cameras everywhere though so acts were still needed. He reached his hand out to say something and just like that she was killing her. Oh well. Too late now and he had tried. Oh so hard.....not. Part of him was sad he didn't get to see her suffer. The other part was sad that he wasn't the one that had been causing it.

A pity? He had to keep from laughing. He liked her. He had a feeling about her. Too bad it wouldn't save her, but it was more then he could say for most people. He might kill her extra slowly. Or perhaps more quickly. The second wouldn't be as fun for him. Either way it was still far far in the future and his thoughts were far from open. That was all he got for his trouble? A thanks. He let his golden eyes glance over her as if looking at her for the first time. He had no intrest in love, but didn't mean he couldn't appreicate something every once in a while. That being said, he'd have no second thoughts about killing her should the opportunity present itself.

”Oh right. I'm part of the Intelligence Department.” he said. Unoffical of course. Couldn't be too careful these days when you just wanted to see everything burn. More like the person Vulture got 'useful' info from when things got tight. Bits of tech here, intel on eneimes there. Whatever was needed really. Of course the same could be said for every side he played, but oh well. ”Perhaps if you'd be willing to share or even coordinate. If not, I'm sure Vulture would want to know anyway.” he said. He did have a want to keep an eye on people he didn't trust. Speaking of, he was tempted to see how much work it might take for Ira to try to remove Vulture. Almost, but not now.

[Ira]

Ira studied the fellow for a moment. Intelligence. The last person who had claimed to be from any branch of intelligence had cried for mercy in her hands. But then again, different time, different place. She had been one to be feared there and someone from intelligence could always be squeezed for the information she needed then at those times. Ira cocked her head to the side, turning it enough so that her neck cracked as she did so.

"And how do I know if I even want to coordinate, as you've said, with you?" She asked as she drew closer to Kailix, pleasant smile still in place.

[Kira Yamato]

Kailix watched as she cracked her neck. Of course she was happy. She just got to slowly kill another living being. How could you not be happy after doing that? Well perhaps you could kill more then one in such a way, but the premise was still the same. He blinked almost taken back from by her words then he seemed thoughtful. ”I suppose you don’t have too. I had just assumed you would like some assistance in taking them down. I’m sure Vulture would appreciate it.” he said before getting down to another point.

Time to see if he could fee what was already there. Her own mind echoed his implanted thoughts seeming to come of her own will. And after that he’ll trust me more. It’ll be that much easier to sieze power. he let that thought sink him judging how much work he’d have to do to get that thought to keep. Vulture was nice for now, but he needed a change. Too much consistance made the game boring and not worth playing. And then there were the wars. Create peace with a side allure them into a false sense of security and then attack them again watching as the cries of the innocent arose. Just the thought….Oh how he wished to just disappear right now and find some poor sap.

[Ira]

Why would she think of such things now? Her eyes narrowed and the smile slowly faded away. Such things needed to be kept quiet for now.

Ira rubbed her neck, finally turning her gaze away from the gentleman in front of her, debating.

"Yes. I suppose assistance would be nice. However, I find we're both in the same situation here. I don't think either of us can honestly prove we both work for the person we claim we work for. And that makes things a tad bit more difficult. Wouldn't you agree?"

[Kira Yamato]

Kailix had to supress a smile as it seemed the thought wasn't even dulled when it came back. So either she had been on edge about it or that had been her play all along, but either way, it was just a waiting game. He'd stop. No need to raise the suspision on his part if he didn't have to, but still he didn't even have to work on her. He was starting to like her. In the same situation? How did she figure that. Oh this should be good. He actually had Vulture's trust already. Still he wasn't going to say that.

Instead he blinked a confused look on his face. ”I'm not sure I follow.” he said instead frowning. He served himself. That much was true from now and until the day he died. He had earned Vulture's trust a long time ago. He just saw no point in killing him, himself. Polotics wasn't his thing. Of course he could kill him and replace him with a figurehead, but that was just boring. Seeing someone like Ira gain control. That would be interesting, but perhaps something might still come from this encounter yet.

"Of course not," Ira said rolling her eyes. She shook her head before placing her hands on her hips, her eyes finally returning to Kailix.

"Alright, so spill it, what do you want exactly? You working with Vulture or something?" Business first, as always.

[Kira Yamato]

Kailix had to supress a chuckle. Seemed whatever she had been going to say was quickly lost as she choose instead to remain quiet. His look only became a bit more confused as she asked the next question. Inwardly however he was chiding himself. Oh how he hated repeating himself. He thought he just lost a little respect for her, as if such a thing mattered for anything anyway. ”I told you Vulture intelligence. I was wondering what your next move is.” he repeated again mostly verbetam.

They were after all alone. Not like anyone was going to come out of the blue. And whats more she did technically work for him, even if it was just an illusion. So then why would knowing where she could find a source of info be so important to her. Still she was persistant. He liked that. So maybe only some respect was lost. Maybe an even trade, and he had to admit he was a fan of her work. So maybe a few extra points for that? Still it mattered little in the long run. Weither he liked her or not mattered little when it was so much fun to kill a person.

[Ira]

An answer she was still unimpressed and unsatisfied with. Vulture's Intelligence was a vague answer that she didn't care for. So she of course would return the favor to his question. Ira shrugged her shoulders; "I don't know. Just kind of going one step at a time." A smile came across her lips again, she was fairly certain that her answer wouldn't be satisfying to him. - Especially for one who was part of 'intelligence'.

[Kira Yamato]

Kailix actually didn’t care if she gave him an answer or if she didn’t. It mattered very little to him. Still apperances were apperances even if they were boring. He sighed seeming, a bit underwhelemed by her response. Then he did something that might annoy her. He turned around as if intent to leave, but even so you didn’t need to be looking at someone to be watching them. Something she should know.

He shrugged before starting to walk away tossing a lazy wave in the air. ”If that’s really how you feel I’ll just tell Vulture you no longer desire to work with him. You don’t have to coordinate with us, but we do like to keep tabs.” he said stopping as his head turned slightly. ”Unless of course theres something you aren’t tellng me here….” he said trailing off as if that might be the case. Of course it was, but he wasn’t expecting her to admit it, but she might surprise him yet.

[Ira]

"You really stink at this intelligence thing," Ira said shaking her head and keeping her hands on her hips. "First, honestly, you don't just ask people for information. Not how it works from my experience. If you do, trades are usually the best - which you haven't offered. Nor did you assume that this is honestly the truth I've provided." Why was it so hard for people to believe that she did tell the truth? Honestly, what was wrong with people? "Two, if we're both working for Vulture, and if you know so much, then why don't you actually share some information with me? It's obvious I'm not from around here, nor have I been involved with this nonsense for too long. I simply needed a pass for going hunting and jobs are nice to have."

[Kira Yamato]

Kailix seemed slightly confused as she spoke. Well when you were Kailix you normally always asked for what you wanted and if they refused.....things got fun, for him. ”Assuming gets one killed Miss Ira.” he said shrugging. As he turned back around. He frowned. So....assuming. Well if she wanted to get herself killed fine, but he could have some fun with this. ”But fair enough, lets take what you said and examine it shall we?” he asked. Of course it wasn't a question, just rhetorical.

”If you were so willing to work, you wouldn't mind sharing your ideas. Trading is something done for those on the outside. I'm assuming you aren't such a turncoat.” he added having to stiffle a laugh. Right. He already knew much better then that. ”Secondly even just going one step at a time means you have that first step. Am I incorrect? Unless of course I mistook you. Still. I may be able to help, understand however that some things are classified and I cannot disclose.” he said as if that was important. He'd bite, for apperances maybe, just maybe something would come from this.

"Tsk tsk. Trading is for everyone. You'd be wise to keep that much in mind," Ira cooed, raising a hand and index finger, moving it side to side as she 'tsked' the man. "Even those you think you're working with should always be treated as people on the outside. Unless of course, they belong to you. But a lesson for another day, I suppose, darling," Ira shrugged her shoulders and put her hand on her hip again.

"The first step was already taken. And, well...I've been a bit distracted." Her eyes wandered over towards the woman on the ground. She turned and actually moved back towards the body. "I have needs, desires, cravings. To them, I submit myself at times, even if it means putting ideas and plans on hold for a bit. Step two hasn't crossed my mind yet. Step by step." Ira stood over the woman's body, seemingly examining her work once again.

"And if some things are classified, well then, perhaps I can't be one hundred percent honest either."

[Kira Yamato]

Kailix just raised an eyebrow at her words. Oh how he wished he had a recording device right now. Still the question remained could he even bring himself to turn the device in? His hand went to his head slightly as he thought. That was a very good question. She was simply too much fun to turn in to die the way she was. Probably not. ”Another time?” he asked. Of course his tone and face were confused implying he didn't follow the statement one bit, but of course he did. Oh, he was thoroughly starting to enjoy their little chat. It was a shame he couldn't really let loose here. Of course he had more people on file to destroy the files. It had been a few months. Perhaps the Resistance had gotten restless again? Maybe if she made the first move, but not now.

Kailix was looking too now. Of course he'd be done before she turned back. ”That needs to stop too. They are citizens after all.” he said. He hated that worst of all. Acting like he cared. It was disgusting. Kailix did frown at her last words. Not the best statement to be openly making. ”Of course I will try to help if I can. Since you seem to want a trade so bad I will supply you with what information I can and in return you discuss your plans.” he said making the first offer. A meaningless offer to be sure, but still one he made.
