"What?" Issachar asks, absent mindedly. "Where are we going to go now?"

The Trandoshan bartender wastes no time in serving up more drinks. One thing about the place was that the drinks were cheap, but they also didn't seem to be that strong. Probably a little balance on the bartender's part to make more money. Or maybe that was just what the ale on all the backwater worlds was like.
Instead of sticking around more, however, the bartender wanders around to idly chat with others and serve more drinks. Though it was a bit odd to see a Trandoshan who seemed to have actual people skills, it wasn't that unheard of. The look of them made it odd, though, watching a giant, watching reptile break into a toothy smile while talking with much thinner built humanoids had an odd look to it.
The band eventually quieted down and moved off stage, obviously taking a break though they didn't seem to say anything. The entirety of the place was left to conversation, from normal voice levels discussing rather pointless things to hushed tones from far back corners and up on the second level...only half words ever drifting in to be heard.
Karr:[sblock]After the band dies down, and things generaly quiet to the point where its not too hard to hear various conversations around you. Though most of it is just general noise, you do pick up on a hushed pair of voices coming from somewhere...though its hard to identify exactly where.
One of the hushed voices, though, is speaking a language you aren't familiar with, though you've heard it before while walking into the tavern and from a few of the local types so it seems to be common enough. It takes a moment to connect that another voice is speaking with this one, but the responses are timed well enough that the one speaking in Basic, with a rather thick Coruscanti accent, is obviously conversing with the one speaking the alien language.
Most of what the Coruscanti says is hard to really pick out beyond single words here and there, but even in the hush tones, you can tell the man(you're fairly sure its male) isn't in the best of moods. Though a few minutes of focusing on the hushed voices floating your direction, you manage to get at least a vague idea of what's being said. It seems that the Hutts are overstepping some kind of agreement. Normally, this might slip under your rader, but the way the man is talking, and the sheer venom in his voice suggests that it is more than just a smalltime operation in...
...Mos Entha. Its the only detail you manage to pick up, though it means nothing at all out of context. Any other details are lost, though, as the conversation quiets down enough that you lose it amongst the rest of the noise.[/sblock]
Cydarius:[sblock]Up on the second level of the bar, across from where you are, you can just barely see someone that's watching you. It isn't in the casual way that many people do in bars...you're sure he's(or she) been watching for some time, though you can't really get a good view of them, yourself. the main section of the bar blocks a great deal of your vision, but you can just make out a pair of dimmed, yellow eyes in a cloak of black eyeing you carefully.[/sblock]

"Thanks Karr, this is it for me though. Don't want to get intoxicated too early in the day." In the interests of not looking like rebel agents, as well as his own interests, Issachar gets up and goes to complement the entertainers. He watches them for a moment before aproaching.

Cydarius takes a step closer to Karr, raising his glass as if offering his companion a toast. "We're being watched. Don't glance up, but whoever it is is up on the second floor. Want me to check it out?" The soldier keeps his voice low enough so that only the Major can hear, not wanting to even chance that his other companions might look up and give away the fact that their watcher had been noticed.

Karr nods in response to Cyd's query and whispers, "Take Dvarik with you."
Standing up, Karr says in normal tones, "I'll be back in a moment." He glances around to locate the restrooms, then starts walking over to them.
Ankh:

OOC:[sblock]Just wanted to apologize for taking so long to post again. Been a long week...
Oh...Fenris had to drop the game so Dvarik is no longer with is. I'll just wave my hand and you never knew who he was. Could have sworn I mentioned that but apparently not. Apologies.[/sblock]
Issachar:[sblock]As the entertainers are moving to what looks like a door to a back room, you're able to catch up to them. As you approach, you see the large Ithorian of the group give you a careful look for a moment, then tap the male Bothan on the shoulder.
The Bothan pauses, turns around, then sees the Ithorian pointing in your direction. His dark brown coloured fur ripples slightly when he looked at you, and a pair of dark eyes narrow to give you a closer look and he furrows his brow in the process. After a strangely uneasy moment, he speaks in a soft, surprisingly calming voice considering his tone, "The hells are you?"[/sblock]
Karr:[sblock]You get a fairly good look at most of the other patrons on the ground floor with you as you head for the 'fresher. Most of the other people seem to have quieted their conversations with the music gone, but walking by makes it rather easier to at least hear bits and pieces.
As you pass by a small booth near the back wall, and the 'fresher, you pick up the Coruscanti's voice again. You're able to get a quick glance in before passing by completely, and it looks to be a middle-aged, dark haired human with a thin look to him. He's wearing the same kind of casual, practical clothes that most seem to be wearing, but the way he sits up straight seems counter to most everyone else who is good and hunched over.
Across from him at the table is a dark green-skinned Rodian, who looks up at you a moment as you pass by, but doesn't say, or do, anything. Instead, he starts speaking in that same language you'd heard before.[/sblock]
Cydarius:[sblock]You are able to move into the crowd without too much difficulty, and a quick glance towards the robed figure above shows that he doesn't actually look to be following you. He has shifted, however, and looks to be watching Karr as he goes to the 'fresher across from you.
It makes it easy to find the stairwell off to the left side of the room and head up to the second level. You pass a human woman who gives you a playful grin and a nudge as she goes down the stairs, and once nearly up you can clearly see the figure again. The second level of the place is the same as the bottom, just with a hole near the center with holoscreens on it showing various things rather than the bar.
The robed figure is directly opposite the stairwell, positioned well enough to have a clear view, though he is looking down and off to the side from the way his hood is turned. There's a drink on his table, but it doesn't look to have been touched.[/sblock]
