Act 5.5.0 - A Very Talon Morning

The whole floor is a mess come the morning after the party - vomit, spilled drink, discarded clothes, that kind of thing - but despite Sheila's misgivings there doesn't seem to be any significant physical damage done.  A few lamps have been smashed and there's a stray broken bottle here and there but for the most part the furniture is unharmed.  While it looks a mess it doesn't look a tragedy.

A couple of cleaning droids are hard at work in the floor come early morning - and that's when a call comes through on all Talons comms.  At the same time each Talon possessing a datapad gets a 'bing!' to notify them of a message having been left.

The call is from Mark himself, the most commanding commander ever.

Re: Act 5.5.0 - A Very Talon Morning

"Rise and shine, poppets, rise and shine!"  The man's voice is broad and cheery but, above all, loud"Your presence is required for a meeting this morning so get up, wash the stink off and meet up at the Oiled Rancor, a cantina two blocks south-south-west of the hotel.  Attendance is not optional.  You have one hour; once you get up make sure to comm CC9 to let him know you're up and on your way because if you don't he's been given authority to haul you out of bed physically and I can't imagine he's going to care much if you've been hitting the Corellian sauce a little too hard.  Refreshments will be provided.  Dignity will not, so bring your own."

The Commander seems to be awfully chatty this morning.  Noticeably out of character.  He seems... particularly happy about something.

Arin was in a reasonably good form, not having gone over the wall with the booze. In fact, he was not at all hung over and acknowledged the message to both the Commander and CC9. He slipped in to his new suit, he had worn in the evening - it had not received any damage, so it was as crispy as a roasted womp-rat. Still bearing the hold-out blaster, he hid it underneath his jacket and headed out towards the cantina to see what was going to come up. He was almost annoyingly cheerful, which would most likely raise questions and annoy the Sith out of those with a bit of a headache - understating or not.

Re: Act 5.5.0 - A Very Talon Morning

Mika had been far too focused on other issues to spend any time enjoying the party atmosphere.  The only down side was the noise, but the sound proofing had taken out the worst of it.  As such, she's good getting up early and takes a turn in the fresher to finish getting ready.

With the data pad, she pulls up some specifics on how far it is.  If she's got time, she'll walk it, otherwise she'll get a robo-hack or taxi to drop her.  About twenty minutes before hand, she gets on the comms.

"I'm heading down to the lobby, anyone want to join me?"

Re: Act 5.5.0 - A Very Talon Morning

When the voice goes off, Sheila sits straight up in bed.  After about five minutes, she gets up wanders into the bathroom, uses it, stares into the morrir for another 5 mintues, then wanders back out to her room.  Here are several bottles on the table, of various sizes and they are all open.  She peers at them, wondering why they;re empty, then her stomach gives her a clue.  After awhile, she get's cleaned up, slowly, looks in the mirror, then hunts in her bag.  She should have something in here for a hangover, but ends up calling room service.  Then she looks at her padd.  That distracts her for a while and she completely forgets to comm cc9.  At the hour mark, she is finally dressed, and ready to go and heading out the door.   She's still not really with it

Re: Act 5.5.0 - A Very Talon Morning

Heigren arrived at the Oiled Rancor less than twenty minutes after the message was received.  It had not been necessary for the Zeltron to get up or dressed, he hadn't been to bed yet.  After winding up the party and escorting the last of the guest out by 0500, he'd quickly caught a shower, changed clothes and began directing the clean-up crews while looking at the tally of costs for the evening and reading various messages and media reports that were starting to filter in.

Mark's message had arrived while Heigren was idly thumbing through various mails from guests.  Many complimentary, others with offers to visit of various kinds.  He'd quickly checked the droids and staff were well on their way with cleaning, looked one last time at the 'butcher's bill' as it were then walked the few blocks to the cantina.

He was still running on the excitement of the party.  What a night!  He'd probably crash hard later but that wasn't a problem.  Though he needed to decide which of the many invitations he was receiving to accept first before he slept!

Reaching the cantina, he ordered a Corellian whisky.  There was no such thing as 'starting too early' for him.  Then he looked for wherever any Talons were sitting.

CC9 bangs on the door of Sheila's room exactly half an hour after Mark's call, doing the same on the doors of any of the other Talons who haven't commed him.

When he knocks on each he says through that Talon's comm, without opening the door itself, "You have thirty minutes.  After that point I have been advised to use physical force to have you at the meeting on time.  Have a productive day."

Re: Act 5.5.0 - A Very Talon Morning

Flash groaned and mumbled something unpleasant when CC9 banged on his door.  Then he ran for the bathroom and buried his head in the toilet moments before he vomited.  What the hell had he been drinking?

He vaguely recalled the night before.  After returning to the party and speaking briefly to Heigren he'd started drinking.  Then he'd got caught up in a sabaac game that involved as much drinking as card playing.  He didn't recall much after that.  Some drinking game involving a keg of spirit, a piano and a mouse droid.  Then they'd been a Duros girl?  What was her name?  Enub?  Ena?  Eric?  He couldn't remember.  Was she real?  He vaguely recalled sleeping with her but there was nobody in the bed.  Had he imagined her?

His musing stopped as he promptly vomited once more.  By this time his gastrointestinal tract was quite empty.  It had to be.  He crawled to the comm board and clicked room service.

"Your best hangover remedy and whatever you've got for a planet-sized headache.  Make it quick."

He curled up in the shower and soaked until room service came.  He didn't bother coming out, he'd left the door open.  Finally he crawled out of the shower, wrapped a towel around his waist and walked into the main room where he downed a handful of pills and ingested the hideous looking concoction.  His stomach threatened to rebel but somehow he held it all down.

He managed to pull a mismatched set of clothes on and collapse on the bed before CC9 came pounding on his door the second time.

Re: Act 5.5.0 - A Very Talon Morning

Hearing no response to her invitation, Mika shrugs and starts heading for the Oiled Rancor.  It was just as well, she'd enjoy a little time to herself, she hadn't had much since they got here.

Strolling along, she calls on the comms to B2-CC9, "Kimy here, I'm already enroute, should arrive with time to spare."

She keeps an eye out, both just to see what's about and also, after the events of yesterday, she's a little more cautious about things.

At the appropriate time CC9 returns and checks rooms.  Finding Flash still in his he leaves and has a cleaning droid furnish him with a full bucket of cold water.  Then he re-enters Flash's room and upends the contents of the bucket onto the dazed Duros, walking out without a single word.

Re: Act 5.5.0 - A Very Talon Morning

Flash rolled to his feet with a gasp, grasping for a non-existant blaster on his hip as he did so.  Coming to his senses he growled menacingly and offered some choice insults to the departing battle droid in Durese.

Making no effort to dry himself, he followed after the droid, soaking the carpet as he walked.


OOC:  Flash had passed out again at the time of Mika's message so he didn't hear it!  Too bad, might have saved him a shower!
