Built above layers of decaying buildings and a literal urban jungle, the City of Kitros is part of the Nar Shaddaa Planetary Reformation Project (PRP) enacted by the leaders of Nar Shaddaa's new government. The PRP is a cause in which some strongly believe and support but others, such as the criminals who preferred Nar Shaddaa be kept as it was, disdain the cause. While the rest of Nar Shaddaa is a criminals paradice, Kitros is -or attempts to be- a pleasant and peaceful city. The government hopes the PRP will draw new settlers to the planet and force the less desirable citizens out, however the crime lords have no intentions of leaving and believe their attempts at reforming the planet will soon decay like the buildings above which this city rises.

[Sevrin purambulated the streets of Kitros, surprised to find that this city was unlike any part of Nar Shaddaa she had seen before. It was almost quant and seemed incredibly out of place. From what she understood it was a young city with high hopes. Trying to redeem Nar Shaddaa from the slime was a nice gesture on the part of Kitros's founders, but Sevrin felt their attempts would be short-lived. For now though, it was a nice enough place. She arrived at the news press where she had arranged an interview; she soon discovered they had no interest in hiring an inexperienced miner from a planet only two people in the building had heard of. She continued her search, but was turned down every time. This was prooving more difficult than she had anticipated, perhaps she would have to lower her standards some, or venture out a bit further. She stopped at a small cafe -she asked, but they weren't hiring- for lunch, then continued. Exiting the cafe, she consulted the map she had aquired inside. She had marked out a radious to stay within during her search, but soon discovered she had already covered almost every marked area. She sighed and began to wander in the general direction of her apartment, but when she reached Sunrise ave. she found herself takeing an unexpected turn not at all in the direction of home. She continued down the street for some time until it took her to a sort of plaza with a fountian surrounded by several benches. A bit fatigued, she sat down. Something had drawn her to this place, but just where was "this place"? Then something caught her eye; a small shop across the way with flower pots sitting in the window. She walked to them for a closer look. Severin loved flowers and this particular species was rare. Their aroma reminded her of the flowers her mother placed in the window every spring during her childhood. She smiled breifly, it was nice to be reminded that there were still beautiful things in, what was in her mind, a dark and dying galaxy. Sparked with a new surge of hope, Sevrin decided she would go home and continue her search tomorrow. Before leaving she glanced through the window of the shop, but before anything inside could catch her attention, she noticed the small sign in the window which read "Now Hiring".]

[Another sign above the door read "Teela's Flower Shop". Sevrin was greeted by the smell of hundreds of blossoming flowers as she entered the shop. Beautiful arrangments and boquets sat on white tables and shelves. At first she saw no one save a household droid who busied himself with spraying a misty substance on the plants, but a woman near her own age soon walked out of a door in the back of the shop with a tray of small budding flowers. When she noticed Sevrin she set the tray on her desk] "Sorry! Whew, we've just had a lot of orders lately that we almost forget to watch the front door. Anyway, how can I help you? We just got some beautiful saggeries in, we do special orders, custom boquets and deliveries.""Thanks, that's great, but no. I'm looking for a job.""You're hired.""Okay...you didn't even ask for my name."You don't look like a criminal, and that's about five steps up from the last three people I interviewed. Uh, you're not are you?" "No. I'm new here and need a job.""Do you have at least a basic knowledge of flowers?""Yes. Flowers have been a hobby of mine since childhood"."Well..now we're about 7 notches up from the last three interviews. Who'd of thought it would be hard to find flower shop employees on a criminal infested, outter rim planet where the only plants they know about are the ones they smoke." ... "I'm Teela Sandars." *Offers her hand*"S-Sevrin D'Laslen. *Shakes her hand* "A flower shop was one of the last things I imagined I'd find on Nar Shadaa."Heh, yeah, what can I say? When I found out about Kitros I got this wild idea of starting a flower shop. It's just...I've seen so much ugliness here, I thought flowers might help heal people."Is it working?"*Shrugs* "I'm not sure. It worked for me though. Anyway...You still want a job?""Yes, yes I really do.""Welcome aboard miss D'Laselen- it is "miss" right?""Uh...yes. Yeah.""The rest of the staff should be here soon, I'll introduce you if you want to stick around for a while.""Great. Thanks."

*Exits her apartment* *Notices some officers down the road a ways, they seem to be discussing something* *Heart beat quickens* ::Have they found me?:: *Tries to walk casually by* *As she passes she is releaved to discover that the activity had nothing to do with her, the officers seemed to be inspecting some vandalism on the caf shop down the street from her apartment* *She hailed a hover-taxi and went to the flower shop*

Two days of searching Kitros and, still, Crie had found no sign of Soleia or Jango. She had begun to think that Master Samtwy had been pulling her leg.. still, the Force pressed on. She was about to give up on this district and go to the next when she saw a resturant. Well, it's worth a try.. She walked in

Crie walked out of the shadowlands, so she was here.. at least a few weeks ago.. who knows where she is now. But she had been there enough for the waitress to notice her.. and she has black hair. Very clever, padawan. Perhaps she's not a lost cause after all..

It wasn't hard from Crie to keep up with Soleia, she noticed right away that Soleia was in no hurry, she must just be out for a nice stroll.. on Nar shaddaa... huh.. She noticed that her walk was somewhat different, not very relaxed, more heavy and purposeful..

*Passes Kitros Cafe, pauses for a moment, then continues walking* *She wanders for quite a while, finding herself eventually near the edge of town, mostly just thinking and not paying attention to where she's going* *Rounds a corner to turn down an alley and sees a bunch of people standing around, most of them have a weapon of some sort in their hand and tattoo markings on one side of their face* ::How'd I get here? o.O:: *Turns around and there's someone, a big ugly human male, standing in front of her* *Towers over her* "Going somewhere?" ::Jango's going to kill me <_<:: "Yes, I was just leaving, it seems I've taken a wrong turn." "Indeed you have. You're in our territory now, and it'll cost you." "Of course. I'm sorry. I'll pay." *Quickly draws her blaster and shoots his leg* *Runs away* ::Oh gosh, that wasn't smart! >_<:: *hears footsteps behind her and glances back to see half the gang chasing her* Crap!

Was watching from around a corner then watches Soleia run away. *sigh* She never was one to keep out of trouble.. After half the gang ran after her Crie turned down the street to follow but a small rodian stopped her. Where are you going? *holds a blaster to her chest* "Only for a walk." "not in our town." *sigh* *pulls out her saber and disarms him in one swift movement then turns around and looks at the others* *pulls out a stun baton and runs toward her with a cry* Crie kicks him in the face, the hand then the stomache, he falls over in the fetal position. "Anyone else? I have a previous engagement."

*Glares* we let you go this time, pretty lady, but don't come down here again. Her eyes narrowed at the man as she concentrated on the force, using it to rip the weapons out of all five of their hands and force push them a great distance. They all stared at her then ran. Crie let in a deep sigh as if to inwardly think that life was so inconvenient then ran down the opposite way to find Soleia.

*Turns down another alley and dives behind a waste bin and finds an old metal pipe among the garbage overflow* Thais'll do. *Sees several gang members turn down the alley, shrinks back against the side of a building, still hidden behind the bin, hoping they won't see her. One walks past the bin and looks left, just befor he can look right Soleia swipes the pipe across the back of his knees, landing him hard on his bottom and leaps over him. A twi'lek with a metal staff, perhaps found at the same location and Sevrin's nifty pipe, blocks her way out* *The pipes make a loud, annoying clang as they clash. Her weapon was definatley more clumsy than a lightsaber, and a great deal heavier, but she managed to best the twi'lek and knock his weapon out of his hand, then landed a hard blow on his head, knocking him unconscious.* *Runs out of the other side of the alley only to be confronted by five more gangsters, with heavy blasters* *Sighs and lowers the pipe to her side, breathing heavily* "You're messing with the wrong gang, little lady."

Meanwhile Crie had run down one street, two alleys, jumped up one building and over to the other, finally catching up to them, she had watched Soleia fight until it was time that she decided to interfere.

Out of nowhere a cloaked person landed inbetween Soleia and the five gang members, a lightsaber had ignited mid-air, green was its blade. She ripped off her hood to reveal piercing, angry green eyes, "Never underestimate a woman." Before they had time to react she kicked the first man's blaster out of his hand, sliced at his leg and wounded him, quickly she moved onto the next, blocked their clumsy blaster fire as well as trying to keep it from going Soleia's way. She made her way to the first man and disarmed him permenantly by slicing off his hand, she did a barrel flip to the next, did a round-house kick in the face, used the momentum to roll across the way and slice off one of the man's legs, standing up at the end of the roll and slicing the last guy's blaster in half then force pushing him into a building. This left the third man who was kicked in the face, she put her saber to his chin and looked at him. "I hope you've learned your lesson." She gave him a hard stare and let him run away.
