"Agreed," Kaira says, looking at the various posters and decorations touting Inthe as THE destination of choice. "My only goal here is to secure for us a courier job. Surely, someone wants to get something off this frozen rock and is willing to pay us to do it."
Kaira looks around. "What we need to do is find the bar the pilots and locals frequent. If they aren't the same bar, then we'll err on the pilot side. This is where our potential customers would go to find a courier."
"Pilot bar will be the one closest to the berths," Zoe said automatically, then, with a little sheepishness, explained, "So they can get back to their ships even if they can't see straight."
"Locals bar will probably be one out away from the landing area, on the outskirts of the port. Sometimes they're outside the extraterritorial line, since offworlders usually don't cross that."

Inthe/Glisten en route to Edenelt/Trin's Veil
Talking to each other while walking, the Travellers move on out to the edge of the StarPort as their conversation lulls. Just when the last words are spoken, they realize that they are standing very near the door of a place called, "High Passage Grill, Bar, and Waiting Room."

As the group begins to approach the "High Passage Grill, Bar, and Waiting Room," you notice a man standing just outside the door. He looks somewhat like a spacer-type, but not quite, or maybe he just wears the "uniform" uncomfortably? Anyway, he looks like he wants to go in, but isn't quite sure. He's definitely waiting for something.
[sblock=Lou OOC]It's you, dude, feel free to give a better description of Wee Jimmy, and make his best pitch![/sblock]

James "Jimmy" Beam LIII
When you first notice the man, when his back was to you, you noticed his coat has three "U"s on it in an overlapping fashion. The man turns towards you as you approach the door. "Are you here for a high passage ticket off this snowball? I much prefer traveling in a group." His voice is smooth as honey, and he has a certain je ne sais quoi about him. He looks at you expectantly.
OOC: Jimmy's not as attractive as the others, but his voice makes him as charming as Kiara would be to a blind man.

Zoe gave the man a skeptical look and glanced at the people with her before replying.
"You mean you have a High Passage that you're trying to sell?" she asked, "Or you have a High Passage that you want to use? Because if you're looking to sell, we've got a ship so better luck next time."
"But if you're looking to use the ticket...well, we've got some room. But just so you understand, it's not really a High Passage ship. There's just us crewing it, and not a whole lot in the way of ameneties. No big bathtubs or zero-G massages or multi-course meals. Our claim to fame is that we're fast. Not many ships can outrun us, in or out of jump."
"Still interested?"
