The In Character Character Game: Part III

[KitanaVorr]

As Daniel looks around he notices something interesting hanging off one side of the wall. A cylindrical object that looks very much like a - no, it couldn't be. A lightsaber?

The creature flitters up and down for a moment as if thoughtfully considering the group. "Very well! I'll let you try out the goods before you purchase." He answered with a nod. Waving his hand, the force field disintegrated and the young man was free. However a thin metal ring around his neck activated with a slow pulsing glow.

"Take the him with you, but if you break him, you buy him,eh?" Watto spoke up with a smirk. "My pilot's name is Speed. You heard of him? Last I saw, he was following some white khushiban. Find him and bring him back before the race and I'll work out a deal for you."

 

[ThoughtBubble]

Daniel looks at the newly freed young man, obviously un-impressed. "So you're burdening us down, and telling us it's a deal?" He looks at the merchant. "I think we're going to need a little more than that. After we get your pilot back, we're going to need a gun cleaning kit, some ammo, and maybe one or two of those." Daniel gestures nonchalantly to the wall of weaponry.

"Now, does your pilot get himself into trouble? Say, rough crowds, armed people?"

To the new guy, he says, "You ready to go there, 'Goods'?"

 

[Dalamar]

Wille shakes his head in amusement.
Really, didn't expect to be in a deal including Watto. Guess anything really can happen as things stand right now.

To the new guy, he says, "You ready to go there, 'Goods'?"

"Well, then. If you're not interested in purchasing him. I will put him right back." Watto pressed a button on his belt and the forcefield dropped back over the temporarily freed man. "What would you like as payment instead?"

"Like I said before. My pilot was last seen following some white Khushiban holding a strange circular object in his hand," he added afterwards. "They were last seen heading eastward."

"Well, then. If you're not interested in purchasing him. I will put him right back." Watto pressed a button on his belt and the forcefield dropped back over the temporarily freed man. "What would you like as payment instead?"

Daniel glances back over his shoulder, having neatly bargined himself into a corner. "So, guys," he says, trying to cover by sounding a little annoyed. "I know I heard more clamorings for stuff initially. What do you all want?"

 

[Festy_Dog]

Festy tries to assist.

"Well, I for one am willing to give the servant a chance. We could get a decent idea of his worth if he tags along with us. If he doesn't work out, so be it, if he turns out good, good, if he's pretty average we could take him as long as we get something to cover the difference I guess," he proposes, "How 'bout we give him a chance?"

Festy looks to Watta.

"I'm fairly certain you know what I'd like in payment, just the stuff I was asking about before. If I can find a place where I can exchange my currency for yours, you'll certainly get some business," he says.

 

[Jemal]

"Some of us place more value on people than Mr Deals over there" Jim says to Watto, pointing a thumb at Daniel. "The original deal sounded fairly good to me... Your pilot for this slave." He turns to face the rest of the group "Or does anyone else have any compulsion to BARGAIN for a human life?"

He gives a slight frown, then composes his face and turns back "Now, on the other hand you haven't answered his question.. DOES your pilot get himself into trouble? Freeing one person in exchange for finding another seems fair to me, but if we end up endangering our lives to bring you your pilot... in tact and safe... then I would be highly dissapointed if a 'slight token of gratitude' were not offered. And I'm fairly certain we would be even more dissapointed if the dangers were not made clear BEFORE we set out.."

Upon hearing James's remarks, he smiles at Watto "And it would be indeed be fortunate for all of us if there were a money changer somewhere around here. I don't suppose that youl'd be able to point us to one on our way out to find your pilot, hmm?"

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

Thomas frowns, trying to remember some bit of pop culture. Speed? "Oh, bloody hell," he mutters, coming to a realization. Waiting for the current exchange to end (he, too, wants to know about a currency exchange), he asks "Uh, this 'Speed' fellow... big eyes, small mouth, brown hair?" He make vague gesticulations of the classic "anime" face in the air. "Last name 'Racer' by any chance?"

 

[neoweasel]

"Does anyone here know what a Khushiban is?" asks Andrew, "I don't, and it'd be hard for us to find one if we don't know what we're looking for."

 

[ThoughtBubble]

"Some of us place more value on people than Mr Deals over there" Jim says to Watto, pointing a thumb at Daniel.

Daniel shrugs and looks to the side. He does his best to look like he doesn't care, but his expression relaxes just a little.
