~|Vivithe and Nazca, Sith Quarters to Animal Pens and Sith Practicing Chambers|~[/center]
Nazca was laying on her bed, in her fresh sithy clothes, trying to figure out how she wasn’t going to get murdered. She was fed, clothed, and in slightly better shape than she had been before. However, she was now in a den full of predators. A prey in a predator’s cloak. Nazca smiled, sitting  herself up and kicking her feet. “It’s not the first time I’ve been in this type of situation, and I sincerely hope it won’t be the last.” She muttered quietly to herself. 

“Fuck. How am I going to explain this to the rest of them…” 

Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately,  she was saved from her musings of how to talk to the other Jedi and explain things without getting stabbed, or accused, by her current Master showing up. [i]I do go through them quickly don’t I?[/i] She smirked, before walking towards the Lady of the Sith. It wasn’t like she had much of a choice anyway.

“Lead the way, Lady Lansha.”

“Certainly, we must begin immediately. Your lack of knowledge in certain fields needed to survive on board this ship is something that must be addressed.” Vivithe replied as she exited the room, the newly turned Sith behind her. She was referring to several different ‘fields’, many Sith were ruthless and would try anything in an attempt to put themselves ahead, even attacking a newly turned apprentice. 

“We will head up a level, there is an area best for us to properly train. Tell me Nazca, what is your experience with a lightsaber? Do you know any forms? How to even use the weapon without injuring yourself?” She asked the girl as they walked, her questioning would sound condescending, but they were necessary words to ask.

“I know you point the hole away from yourself, press a button and a laser of death pops out. And I know that it is incredibly light. Other than that, no.” Nazca replied, looking around as they walked. This was the first time she wasn’t injured or going to be injured when being dragged through the ship.

“Quick question, though I already know the answer to this I may be pleasantly surprised. Darth Nyiss experimented upon me while I was a prisoner. Does this mean I still have to be put under her experimentations? They were...painful to say the least.”  

“Experimentation? Not unless it’s necessary. You have potential to become something, I shouldn’t need to experiment on you to help find that potential. I’m sure she did that to help turn you to our cause,” Vivithe replied, then glanced at the girl’s replacement hand then asked Nazca about it. She could sense the taint of the dark side on the machinery, like it had been bathed in it. “Is that how you ended up with that contraption?” 

“From the way she talked, it was almost outright said that I would be visiting her again. “ Nazca replied, before looking at her hand. “Yes. And it hurt like a bitch too. I was screaming like a stuck mynock. Evidently, pain killers are a sign of weakness. Rather than, you know, a distinct disinterest in becoming a masochist.” Nazca sighed theatrically. “I suppose it’s just a habit with the Sith. ‘Blah, blah, do this fucked up thing to become stronger, blah blah.’ Am I right?.”

“Often times pain will make you stronger, what is that saying? ‘Pain is weakness leaving the body’? Many Sith subscribe to that line of thinking. I don’t disagree with it. When power is what you so righteously seek, you must be willing to do whatever is needed to make yourself more powerful.” Vivithe replied as she walked, her hands folded behind her, the training sabers tucked into her robe. She was surprised that the Darth herself had interacted with Nazca, perhaps she would question her more on that later, see what Nyiss’ methods were, how she acted.

“We are much more different from the Jedi, we’ll do things they would never consider. That is why they are so weak, they willingly hold themselves back, fear what they could become, fear the true power the Force can bring,” Lady Lansha added, her eyes had drifted towards the apprentice, locking with her’s momentarily. “I’m sure you will see the Darth again, her disposition towards you may be different now that you’ve chosen the righteous side.”

“Willing to do whatever is needed and actively seeking out unhelpful things, are two entirely separate things, Lady Lansha. I may be willing to undertake a beating so my crew can pull off a heist, it does not mean that I actively seek out such a beating. Especially when there is no need to.” Nazca replied, still looking around and taking in the sights. She’d have to wander around on her own time, later.

“Lovely,” Sarcasm was dripping from her voice, “I always wanted to go see the Red Skinned Jendoslu again! Especially with her knife in her hand, because I somehow doubt she’s going to just [i]stop[/i] experimenting on me. Especially when she can choose anyone on this ship to experiment on and they can’t do anything about it. Even you, Lady Lansha.”

“That is technically correct, she could chose to experiment on me but there is [i]no[/i] reason to do so. I’m fully committed to the Sith cause and have embraced the Force entirely. I’d sooner run myself through my own lightsaber than reach the point where the Darth feels she needs to experiment on me. Her experiments were to turn you to our side, now you’re on it, you’ll only receive more if you resist your teachings.” Vivithe replied, her cockiness coming out as she spoke. She was the pinnacle of the Sith way.

“It is imperative to show great respect to the Darth, even if she doesn’t give you any. Call her the proper titles, follow any commands, answer any questions she has.” Vivithe added, she didn’t tell the girl to answer questions truthfully, that would be for her to decide if the scenario played out as well as how good a liar she could be. 

“You claim a lot for someone who has no idea what the Darth is going to do other than her reputation.” Nazca observed, watching Lansha idly. “You’ve barely even talked to the Darth, or if you have she hasn’t been open about anything. I got the strong impression the experiments had nothing to do with converting me.” She shrugged. “But as you wish. I’ll be respectful and obedient.”

Lady Lansha had scowled underneath her hood, her pretty face showing a twinge of dislike at the foolish girl actually questioning her knowledge. She briefly considered scolding her for doing such a thing, but for now she would let it slide. The Sith just hoped the apprentice would actually follow thru with her words and show the Darth the proper respect. She might not even need to be the one to punish her if she didn’t do so. 

“I sincerely hope that you will keep you word on that. For your own sake.” Vivithe said as the duo approached a lift, the doors coming open automatically as they both entered into it. She folded her arms over each other as they were both sealed inside, then the elevator rose upwards towards their destination on the upper deck.

“There is a training area in the floor above, that will be the perfect place to begin your teachings so that you [i]might[/i] aboard this vessel.” She stated, the words had come out of her mouth in a not exactly positive way, she wasn’t confident in the girl’s chances anyway, but she doubted the other Sith would kill her right off the bat. Doing such a thing would upset a Sith lord and probably the Darth herself.

“Keep my mouth shut around people more powerful than I am, who could kill me in an instant. Then be taught by you how to last longer than .3 seconds in an actual fight against said people. Shouldn’t be too hard.” Nazca replied, with a  false cheerfulness.

“Precisely, thought If you’re really smart you’ll avoid actual fights.” Vivithe said back as the lift came to a stop and the doors opened. The Lord stepped out into the hallway, the apprentice behind her. She sensed something, others strong in the Force nearby. They had to be other Sith but she wasn’t sure who exactly, this could be an interesting sequence of events.

They walked a ways down the halls, the Sith following the other’s presence within the Force, allowing that to lead her towards them. She was unsure if her apprentice even knew why they were taking such a path, Vivithe would be interested to see how the newly minted Sith reacted to more seasoned Sith. Vivithe turned a corner with hNazca in tow to find Jayda and another apprentice.
