OOC:

oooohhh you. . .

Snipes had a plan.

He wanted to put the 'public' back in public humiliation.

It wouldn't be easy, he was going to spend a week preparing, there were lawns to be mowed, invitations to be sent, entertainment to be provided. Kuroishi would be proud.

* *Guests!* *

First Snipes had to make some calls, order supplies, and, most importantly, invite guests. He invited guests of all calibers, Fury, Merrick, Rizzit, Kairo, all of Storm and Wildcard, cooks, cleaners, prostitutes, ewoks, ewok prostitutes and one very shaggy dog named Ralph.

* * Cheese!**

"No, no, whip cream goes here, cheese goes there." Snipes barked, kicking at one of the inept cheese technicians. "And if that cheese gets any lower than 98 degrees I'm going to feed you to the guests. Actually, that's not a bad . . . Wait! Come back!"

**Askorn!**

"And they can do that every time? With precision? Perfect, absolutely perfect.

Oh, don't forget an umbrella."

The heavy set Interdictor commander smiled and nodded before leaving.

**PAAAHHTTAAYY!**

Snipes wandered among the guests as Tadath made its way to the dark side of the planet. He was surprised by the turn out, almost everyone had made it, there were even a few navy boys dotting the landscape. Snipes continued to mingle until he was certain everyone had arrived. He had assured that he'd acquired all the attractions necessary to draw in as many members as possible.

"Hey! It's a gravy river!" He heard one particularly dazzled navy boy yell to another.

"No, man check this out! It's a nacho fountain!"

"Hey, you guys! A whip cream waterfall!"

Snipes smiled as he wandered over to the buffet. There were many Troopers standing around the tables, mouths full, urging one another to try an even more fantastic dish than the one they'd just swallowed. Snipes wisely avoided the meat, instead electing to munch on a carrot.

Snipes heard the band start up and turned to the stage. They were fairly good, and it wasn't long before a spot in front of the stage had been cleared away for dancers. Snipes had an urge to join them, but, in the end, knew better. Instead he moved on to the tables, where the civilized people (Read as: officers) were sitting down to enjoy their meals. Snipes stopped for a few minutes to chat with Kairo and Rizzit. He nodded to Cosmic, but didn't get a chance to engage him. No one higher had shown up. Looking back, Snipes decided it was probably for the best.

He ended up sitting down by the dance area, watching the dancers twirl and twist about. He was watching for a specific duo though. Luckily it wasn't long until Snipes caught sight of Froat dragging an agitated looking Kanderin onto the grass. Snipes smiled and began making his way out of the courtyard, once out he sent a signal to the servants, demanding they lock the doors tight. He chuckled to himself.

I have you now.

He then climbed up onto the wall with the help of ladder he'd had the foresight to provide himself. Once on the wall he waved at the band members who abruptly finished their song.

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you tonight's benefactor!" Everyone cheered, "The one, the only. . . KANDERIN DRAKEN!" The lead singer picked the man out of the couples on the dance floor and pointed at him.

Snipes watched as the crowd turned to his friend, Snipes chuckled to himself.

Snipes pulled out his data pad and pressed a button. The nacho fountain exploded, the whip cream waterfall exploded and of course the gravy river exploded.  " Oh, but we aren't done yet!" he yelled; Snipes laughed to himself as the crowd failed to notice the TIEs rushing down on them; then, seconds later, confusion took them as gobs of raspberry jam came raining down upon them. Snipes decided to leave then, before the next few volleys came.

"And this is where I say Adieu!"

Snipes jumped down from the wall cackling.
