Living Star Wars Saga: Adventure 1: Welcome to Haon

"No, thank you. Perhaps you would care to be seated while you drink? There is a spare chair by my newfound friend and I." Kered motions to where Galen is seated. "Perhaps I can help you figure out why you feel what you feel." Kered turns and moves back to his seat beside Galen.

"That is rather nice of you. I will accompany only because I am feeling tired and would rather sit." She approaches the table, and introduces herself. "I am Maryth Synn."
 

Galen stands up, wipes his hand on his jumpsuit, and reaches out to shake Maryth's hand. "Th' name's Galen, Galen Malek: spacer, pilot, and galaxy-class mechanic." He beams with affected pride. "Pleased ta meetcha, miss!"

The R2 unit scoots up to the table and opens his lid, as Galen shoves the assorted capacitors and circuit boards off the edge of the table and into the R2 unit's storage compartment.

"So, what brings ya to th' Haon system, Miss Synn? Couldn't be that ya heard th' best mechanic this side o' Coruscant was waitin' at this here table," he says with a self-deprecating chuckle, wiping up his spilled milk with a napkin.
 

Shaking his hand, she pulls it back to still notice some grease and dirt still on her hand. Discreetly she pulls a napkin off the table to clean her hand under the table, while he is piling the tools and other components back into his R2 unit.

"I am a wanderer. I have traveled the galaxy a bit, but have run short of credits lately. I am looking for work as a pilot or negotiator."
 

[sblock=ooc]I don't want to wait longer, but I was hoping Insight would post actions today! If you lot know anything more about other potential players...

also: edit, Bix = Bith, the guys from the Cantina band? Yeah, I meant those guys. Most of the crew hosts, bartenders and waiters are Bith, while a bunch of others are Twi'lek "hosts". Security is run by a hodge podge of brute-race types, like Gamorreans and Trandoshans, including big scars and tattoos on faces and hands, under their uniforms.

A large ray-like fish swims beneath the table, rippling like a giant, living blanket. It catches your eyes and starts to sparkle, as does the bottom of the tank below you, and you note that a massive chandeleer has descended from a hole in the ceiling to shine multi-colored lights all over the room. Whether this is healthy for the fish or not, you're uncertain; but it sure looks nice.

The droid waiter for this bar moves past the Bith bartender, carrying a massive platter of the most disgusting fish guts and squid parts you've ever seen. The Bartender bith is a sly-looking fellow, polishing the same mug for over-long while watching the Twi'lek at the Mon Calimarri's table; until the fish come by, at which point his face screws up and he takes a step back to catch some breath. How many times do I tell you, stupid droid, don't bring that stuff past me to which the droid tweets mockingly.

The droid arrives at the Mon Calimarri's table, sliding the fish onto the table. The ladies squeal and back away while their client slams his face into their mass, munching and sucking the entrails into his stomach. He looks up, some of the mess hanging off his face.

C'mon dearies, eat up!

The girls shrink back, going pale. One or two of them try taking some of the fish themselves, but chicken out just as the corpulent Calimarri dives back in. The pink one, named earlier "Pinky", dives around the side of the booth in time to wretch.

The Droid doesn't pay attention to any of this, moving directly from its delivery to your table. it whistles a familiar tune to anyone who's encountered droid waiters before: [sblock=if you speak binary]can I take your order?[/sblock]
 

"Ah, uh, thank you," Galen says to the droid taking orders, "I'd like another glass o' blue milk, if you please. And if ya don't mind me sayin' so, that's a mighty nice plasteel finish you've got there! A Coachelle Automata design, if I don't miss my mark."

Dropping to a whisper, he says, "Say, you wouldn't happen t' know th' scuttlebutt on that impressive-lookin' Calimarri over yonder, wouldja?"

[sblock=100010011101101] oh some fleshbag designated Garbak. His seduction algorythyms are way off for the breather arousal units he purchased, so only his credit stream is compensating for it, barely. He's in the gold section of the ship's account-logs, so I don't see his credit stream running low. Looks like he'll have to compensate for that last transaction, or he'll have to replace another arousal unit! ahahahahahaaaaa, fleshbags disgust me.[/sblock] he bleeps, before wheeling away to fill your order of blue milk. As he does so, he pushes right past your R2 unit, shoving it out of his way.


You note Pinky in the next booth wretching, takes a look back at the Mon Calimari, shudders, then composes herself. She wipes her mouth with a napkin, takes a breath mint, puts on the best fake-smile she can muster, and reluctantly eases herself to the edge of the booth and sits down.
 

Thinking to herself, 'I don't blame Pinky, that is disgusting.' She averts her eyes from the Mon Calamari slob and turns towards Galen. "So where have you been lately, any place interesting?"
 

"Oh, here an' there," says Galen. "I just spent four months on Danuta retrofitting a bunch o' old Imperial vessels with modern positioning equipment. Then there was that job on Polis Massa, where they needed some mining droids' memories wiped--apparently some durned Di'kut was blabberin' about trade secrets in earshot of a really gossipy droid, and they had to wipe the lot of 'em."

"0000000001111110111101110111111!" R2-P5 whistles in angry protest.

"Well, I guess they shoulda figured on that before they started blabbin'!" says Galen to the R2 unit. "Naturally, I kept a disk for backup purposes, 'specially since they aren't well known for speedy payment in that sector, but I'm nine-tenths sure it went out th' airlock when my engines lost power over En.

"How 'bout you, miss?"
