The Seventh Star is Eden (Skeith Takahata II & MessedUpRp)

Ceres pulled her cold weather gear on to her person. "So, we'll need to keep a low profile. We'll have to be careful to avoid mentioning the rebellion or Eden. While we're here, we're also criminals. Pirates, laying low to avoid detection." She stashed a knife in her boot, and a pistol in her coat. She set a pair of goggles on her forehead and a respirator around her neck. She approached the boarding ramp, pressing the button to open the hatch.
 
As the hatch opened, Ceres was met by a biting cold wind as snow whipped inside. Ariel retreated into the gauntlet and snaked one of her attachments up an arm, gliding up to make an ear piece. "can you hear me Ceres? This will be more covert. We entered just outside the red-light district."

As the Ramo lowered, an Eden man ina respirator and goggles waved to Ceres, stepping up the ramp toward her with a clipboard. "Sign your registration here. Use any alias you.might desire under name." It was being made clear as day that this was a sanctuary for pirates and criminals.

Once Ceres signed off, the man ushered her out and presses the Ramo closing button before scurrying out fromnthe rising ramp. The city was slightly obscured by the blizzard's snow, but the neon signs were unmistakable. As Ceres got closer, she could see the crowds milling about. The hookers in windows and doorways, talking and laughing with possible clientele. There was a large number of rather strange looking ones. They were.bright orange in skin with large eyes and eyelashes. Most of them walked around naked despite the frigid cold. A few gazed at Ceres curiously.
 
Ceres kept the hood raised up over her head as they walked, looking about at the strange creatures. "This might be a little trickier than I thought." She admitted. She pocketed her hands, looking around as they continued to explore. "Any ideas on where we start?" She whispered so that only Ariel would hear her. "Hard to imagine a void sage working as a prostitute, ya know?"
 
Ariel responded, "I don't think They're actually alive. Nothing fleshy could survive in this temperature completely naked. I think they're some sort of robotic entities... This is an odd place indeed, but nobody would look for a void sage in a whore house would they?"
 
Ceres stopped walking when Ariel spoke. She smirked a little, nodding in agreement. "That's a good point. Guess we start perusing the local brothels and see what we turn up. I'd love to get out of the cold anyway." She walked about a block before turning to enter one of the buildings. "Maybe visiting with the locals, we'll have some better luck." She pushed the door open walking inside. She looked about at the various dancers and patrons before coming to sit at the counter. "Can I get a drink?" She asked, lifting her hand to flag the bartender.
 
The bartender gave her one look before sliding her a drink. The bartender need seemed to look at anyone for more than just a second, glancing at people before looking away. He might be able to point her in the general direction of the good sage, but could he?
 
Ceres leaned back in her seat, bringing her drink up to her lips. She watched the bartender curiously for a few moments. Most bartenders were folks who generally had their ear to the ground. There was a good chance he had seen or heard something. "Excuse me sir." She asked, leaning forward. "I only just landed a short while ago. Looking for something and someone a little warm to pass the night, ya know? I'm a touch picky though. Don't suppose you've seen any spellva working in the area."
 
The bartender glanced up at her and shook his head. "No Spellva here girl. Surprised anyone wants to come here, too damn cold even for me." He shook his head again and slowly moved away to tale a drink order. Ariel silently worked at the connection to the computer of the bar, from there she backtracked to the main wireless hub of the town and proceeded to monitor every connected device she could find. "Alright Ceres, I'm logged into the system. Anything to look for?"
 
Ceres waited for the bartender to be out of earshot before whispering to Ariel. "Keep an eye out for the spellva language. I didn't know my mother's people very well. I grew up in servitude. Hard to say how they would hide or code they would use." She brought her drink to her lips again, looking around the bar casually.
 
Ariel kept her digital eyes open around the small compound of a city. There was one person sitting alone, in the corner of the bar, glancing at Ceres from time to time. It appeared to be a woman. An Eden girl with blonde hair pulled to the back of her head in a ponytail. Each time she looked at Ceres she would smile softly at her and grin.
 
Ceres was curious as she noticed the Eden woman sitting in the corner. She was wary of her. Ceres was covered head to toe in slave markings from the Eden work camps. If this woman was an Eden loyalist, she could sell her out. Still, this far out from Eden's borders, she had to take a risk. She offered the woman a friendly smile, before flagging the bartender. "A drink for the lovely blonde lady." She said with a smile, setting the money on the counter. "Keep an eye out for any outbound messages or unwanted attention." She whispered to Ariel. "I'm gonna see what's up with this girl."

She picked up her own drink, moving to sit beside the other woman. "Hi there. You look awfully lonely all by yourself. My name's Cadence. Just landed a short while ago." She used a false name just in case. She couldn't have an Eden spy reporting on finding the fugitive Ceres Karn.
 
"Nothing to report Ceres... If she wanted to send a message she probably would have by now, but be careful."

The woman smiled as Ceres sat down next to her, leaning onto the table to rest her chin in her palms. "Mm not anymore I'm not... Thank you for the drink by the way." She sat back in her seat. Ceres could peek between the open flaps of her jacket, she was dressed sparsely. Only in a black crop top and her pants. Her stomach was toned and muscular.

"I like your tattoos... A camp escapee." She leaned in again, "by Eden law I should call and have you sent right back... But luckily for you, I just love bad girls." She moved around to the other side and sat beside Ceres. Now that she was away from.other ears next to Ceres, the rebel could feel the handgun holstered at her hip. In this city everyone needed a gun. "And anyone who got themselves locked into a camp then broke out again must be very bad indeed."

She put a hand on Ceres' thigh and moved her hand up toward her body. "My name is Rina... So Cadence. How about we go back to your ship, and we can talk more. Maybe you can show me.jist how bad you are." She winked and smiled.

Ariel audibly sighed in Ceres' ear. "What a slut..." Jealousy dripping in her voice.
 
Ceres smirked a little at Rina's obvious flirting. Her smile spread as she felt her hand on her thigh wandering up her leg. Despite having been raised in a work camp, she was certainly not a virgin. She had fooled around with plenty of other prisoners. Everyone needed an outlet in that awful place. Sex was a great way to relieve stress. She was about to say something when she heard Ariel's comment.

What Rina was, was a potentially valuable contact. Make good with someone who gets around and you hear things you normally might not have. If showing a little skin and fooling around bought that relationship than so be it.

"Back to my ship, hmm? You so sure I'm the bad girl you're looking for?" She asked in a teasing tone. "Things got pretty rough in those camps, it tends to come out in the bedroom."

Ariel hadn't known Ceres long enough or intimately enough to be familiar with her own promiscuous nature or raging libido.
 
Rena smiled wider and slid over a chair to stradle Ceres' lap. "Mm, then you sound like just the vandal for me... Iike it when a girl gets rough. But I can certainly be rough back if that's what you like." She grinned and leaned in as though to kiss Ceres, only letting their lips brush together for a second. "You'll get to taste a lot more than my mouth on that ship darling... Now how about you lead me there."

Rena stood up and smiled at Ceres with that coy smile. Ariel meanwhile was only getting both more jealous and more hurt by Ceres ignoring her by the minute. "Fine... Go ahead and fuck her..." She shut off her systems for awhile.
 
Ceres almost rolled her eyes at Ariel's behavior. What had gotten in to her? She smirked at Rena as they stood from the table. She wasn't going to deny herself the simple pleasures just because Ariel was behaving in such a silly way. "Right this way." She said with a smile, leading the way back out from the bar. The ship wasn't terribly far from the bar. "She may look old, but she's got it where it counts." She explained as she approached the ship.

She opened the ramp, motioning for Rena to board. "After you." As they entered, she closed the ramp, loosening her cold weather gear, revealing more and more of her camp tattoos. "So, what brought you to this planet, Rena." She asked in a friendly manner. She was slowly trying to work her way closer, beyond attraction to get more information.
 
Rena smiled her own coat off. Biting her lip softly as she saw more and more of Ceres' body being exposed. "I'm just trying to get away for a little while... Bad relationship and all. You know how it is." As the bay door closed, she slipped her snow pants off. Revealing both her lace panties and the belt with a handgun attached.

The blonde unlocked her belt and slid it off, holding it aloft for Ceres to see before dropping it on top of her jacket. "I hope I won't be needing that, now will I?"
 
She watched her drop the gun, smiling some. "I don't know what manner of vandal you take me for." She smirked as she walked closer, her hands finding her bare waist and holding her firmly but gently. "You didn't report me to Eden officials, which tells me that at least on some level you can be trusted." She drew close to her before pulling away, slowly removing articles of clothing as she made her way back to her bunk.

"Myself, I came out this way looking for a friend. A spellvan woman. Haven't seen her in a while. Don't suppose you've seen any around in your travels." She asked, moving to stand beside the bunk, flicking on the area lighting around the bed.
 
Rena shrugged. By the time she was at the bed she was only wearing her panties. As she cralwed onto the bed, she looked back at Ceres. "I may have, or maybe not... I wouldn't want you to just take that info and ditch me, now would I?" She smiled and spread her legs, biting her lip softly as she looked at Ceres.
 
Ceres smirked as she approached the bed, climbing in with Rena. She propped herself up above her, looking down at her with hungry eyes. "Ditch you? You're already half-naked, on my ship, and in my bed. I have half a mind to invite you to join me." She roughly pushed Rena back against the sheets, taking a hold of her chin before forcing an aggressive kiss against her lips. A brief pang of guilt caught in her stomach, but she put it aside. Her an Ariel weren't in a relationship. She shouldn't feel guilty for enjoying herself.
 
Rena kissed back, teasingly rough against her at does it before letting Ceres take the lead. "I have half a mind to accept... I love a girl who can take control like you can." She kissed Ceres again and slid off her pants. "Such brute force and such finesse all in one sexy packaging." Ariel meanwhile had kept an eye on Ceres through a camera in the ship. She was sadly left to watch her friend have sex while waiting alone. When she saw the spike in heart rate from the feeling of guilt Ariel couldn't help but smile a bit. At least she felt a bit guilty.
 
Ceres was disappointed that they were so far from the leylines. Her void powers useless, a great many of her sexual techniques were out of the question. She rose up and away from her, grinning down a the other woman. "You don't know the half of it." She shucked her top and bra, putting her breasts on display. Her entire body, breasts included marked by the work camp tattoos. She dropped again, kissing her hungrily.

Her kisses trailed, nipping lightly at her jaw before she made it to her neck. She bit down on the flesh there, sucking roughly. Her hand moved to grope Rena's breast, roughly taking a hold of it, occasionally pausing to twist and tug at her nipple.
 
Rena chuckled softly and gently pushed Ceres away. Keeping he close none the less. "Now tell me Ceres... O have one question... Why are you looking for a Spelvan?" Ceres felt something poke at her bare back and saw that there were six void tentacles similar to her own, these ones seemed a deeper black ans certainly pressed against her with pointy tips.

Rena's hair had become jet black, her skin slightly paler, "you can start talking now."
 
Ceres was surprised when she was stopped and gently pushed away. She looked at the woman in surprise, especially when called by her actual name. Feeling the sharp poke of the void tendrils, she glanced back and then forward again, seeing her appearance shift. She let out a heavy sigh as she spoke. "If you know my name than you probably have that answer already." It was certainly an awkward situation to be in for an surprise interrogation, mostly naked and on top of another woman, and being held in place. "My name is Ceres Karn. Daughter of Eden Imperial Sargent Edward Karn and Sepllva Void Sage Corta Mal'Keth. My parents relationship was a carefully guarded secret, as was my birth. When we were caught, my father was taken away. My mother and I were thrown in the camps. She eventually died there."

She slowly raised her hands to show that she meant no harm. "I'm at least half spellva. I'm seeking out the missing void sages at the suggestion of my grandfather to learn more of my gifts. I work for the Rebellion answering to my aunt Erza Mal'Keth."
 
Rena smiled softly "At least you're honest... But you really took after your mother's appearance. You have that Mal'Keth look that I have not seen in such a long time. She stood up, the pointed tendrils still holding Ceres down. "Your void attunement is weak still... But that can be fixed. Certainly it can be fixed quite easily."

The tendrils moved off Ceres, retracting into Rena's back. "I can tell your power though, you certainly have ability, I just need to find your finesse. Teach you to work the void like a puppet on strings."
 
When the tendrils retracted Ceres sat up slowly, letting out a deep sigh. She rubbed the back of her neck in embarrassment. The knowledge that she had unknowingly propositioned a Void Sage for sex, and that said Void Sage was about to become her tutor, was shameful. It certainly felt disrespectful in retrospect. "My mother didn't have time to teach me. Everything I know I figured out on my own after she died. I'm impressed that you still have such power so far from the ley lines."

She looked up at the ship camera, predicting that Ariel was already watching. "Ariel, you can stop giving me the cold shoulder now. We found who we were looking for." She rubbed her eyes before looking back to Rena. "Ariel is an Eden Imperial Datamind that I liberated not long ago. She's a good friend and a loyal ally."

She reached up, taking her mother's necklace the cylinder of dark fluid, that she had received from her grandfather, holding it out to the Sepllvan woman. "My grandfather, Dr. Derevov gave this to me. He said that it was my mother's and that another Void Sage would have a better idea of what it was and how to use it."
