Lady Death floats into the bar, Darkness at her side. She takes in the patrons as she lands. She smiles to Bar and strokes the top lightly. "A glass of mead, please." The requested drink appears. "Thank you."

She lifts it to her lips as she looks around again.

(Summary: Lady Death gets a new ~~Damned Soul~~ recruit in the person of Admiral Piett)

(oooh... scaaary. should I or should not? *s*)

(Ooc: *snicker* She's safe, unless your character happens to be named ... Lucifer! *eyes Piett suspiciously*)

(no Lucifer) Al older man, in uniform, sitting on a stool, sipping tea, eating toasted bread and fruits.

She nods politely to him, sipping her mead.

A polite nod back "good evening". Not at all suprised with her unusual looks.

She rises and floats over to him. "Mind if I join you?"

The floating part makes an eyebrow raise, but he nods. "of course not. please." He indicates the seat next to him.

She sits gently and smiles to him. "I am Lady Death."

"an interesting name. I am Admiral Firmus Piett, commander of the Imperial Fleet, captain of the Star Dreadnough Executor"

"I took the name when I decided to slay my father and take his place.

"Imperial Fleet? What's a Star Dreadnaught Executor?" She looks at him, expecting he'll get the hint and explain in a little more detail.

"a Star Dreadnought is a capital spaceship, built to serve as a mobile stronghold and command center. the Executor was the command ship of the whole Imperial Fleet. The Empire is the government of most of the galaxy I originate from." A nod, letting her ask more if she is curious. And no, he does not even bat an eye at the 'slay my father and take his place' thing.

One more term, she hopes, and she'll understand him entirely. "Space ship?"

"a machine, built to carry people thru the void between planets and stars."

She thinks she has it. "There are enough people to be on more than one planet? That is ... amazing." She smiles.

"Coruscant alone was the home to several scores of billions of people. so, yes, there are much more people than one would believe." He almost smiles.

She blinks. "Billions?" She sighs with a dry smile. "I ... am ... unsure?"

"billions. yes, thye total number would be truly staggering. and for two decades, all of them obeyed the will of Emperor Palpatine" A wistful sigh

"That would be the one you serve?"

"I did. until I died." A simple nod.

"My sympathies on your demise."

"thank you. I am more concerned about the fate of my fleet."

She smiles. "A sign of a true leader."

"kind words, and they are apreciated, m'lady" A bit of a smile.

(*mun tries to not be distracted by lady death's pic*)

She smiles. "I find that to be a truth, Admiral Firmus Piett. My best generals look to care for their underlings before looking after themselves."

(ooc: She does have a lot of v. sexy images, doesn't she?)

"a commander must think of his troops first. without his troops, a commander... is not." Just incidentally, he does not seem to have a problem with keeping his gaze on her face.

(indeed)
