A Way Out

[Atlas Silexia]

NAR SHADAA​

​

Ano was ramming into people as he ran away from exchange goons.

He found himself doing that a lot lately, running from people. Never in his life had he had such a tough time trying to claim a simple bounty on some stupid boss. He was shipless after he told Shingles to relocate the Renegade to the nearest spaceport as to not lose all of his belongings, but had been chased down through the streets before he himself could get on. Now he was running through the streets away from the worst gang in the world, on the worst planet in the world, and with no company but his own.

That would soon change.

Ano knew this moon like the back of his hand, running through alleyways easily. It was raining on Nar Shadda, the patter of droplets hitting his hat as his feet slammed against the puddles.

He ran into the nearest cantina, where all the slime of the planet would gather together and pretend for the night that they didn't want to kill the closest person near them and steal all their credits. He located the nearest smuggler to him, a Zeltron. She had all the marks of a smuggler by his knowledge, a blaster pistol, a loud personality, and that charming smile that invites unwitting customers to overpay for her services

He swiftly made his way over to her swiftly, and pulled her to the side urgently. "1000 credits says you get me off the planet. 1500 if it goes off without a hitch."

He never really was too good at starting a conversation.

The exchange thugs burst into the cantina, and started their search for him ever so quickly. Yelling at all the thugs who had been in there for his whereabouts.
"200 credits to the first man to tell us where this Kyuzo is!" as he held up a holotape of Ano running from his pursuers.

Damn. That's not good.

Time was of the escense, he looked back at the Zeltron and kept it quiet. "Make it 2000."

Herrith Hendarsin

 

[Herrith]

A humanoid ran up to Herrith as she was in the middle of laughing at a joke.

"1000 credits says you get me off the planet. 1500 if it goes off without a hitch."

She turned her head.
"You take me as a shuttle driver? I'm far too complex for that!"

Her voice showed mock drama, and she kept a smile on her face, clearly trying to express humor to her friend or drinking partner.

People burst into the cantina and she focused on them, taking a sip of her drink nonchalantly.

"200 credits to the first man to tell us where this Kyuzo is!"

Or woman. Jeez. She wae about to lift her hand up when the Kyuzo said he'd pay 2000. The lady smirked and tipped her head.

"Deal. Back door's this a-way, honey."

She stood up and slipped through the crowd, walking through a side door that led to an alley outside, waiting for the Kyuzo to hurry up.

 

[Atlas Silexia]

He swiftly made his way through the side door with Herrith, narrowly avoiding the guards, but they wouldn't be too far behind.

As they were running, he gasped out a "Thank you."

How weird, he'd never thanked someone before. Why'd he start now?

"Where's your ship anyway?" This was no area of Nad Shadaa he recalled. This area was much worse than where he usually hung around. He had no idea if he could even trust this Zeltron, he was putting his whole faith into her.

Aparrently his life was worth 2000 credits.

They kept running, and Ano was growing tiresome. "Are you leading me to a trap or something? Where's this ship?"

 

[Herrith]

"Thank you."

It sounded like a genuinely unnatural thing to say from the guy she was about to get off planet. Seemed almost like he never said thanks.

"Where's your ship anyway?"

"East spaceport. Close by."

They kept running and he spoke again.
"Are you leading me to a trap or something? Where's this ship?"

She smiled.
"East spaceport. If this was a trap, you'd have been dead already, sweetie."

As they rounded a corner a hangar was in clear view with a rusted old ship sitting underneath.
"This way!"

She stumbled and kept running.

 

[Atlas Silexia]

They hopped aboard the ship quickly.

But unfortunately, not fast enough as to evade the exchange on Nar Shaddaa.

Ano fired from his bow caster off the ramp on the ship, killing several of them before they were able to take off. He sighed, and made his way to the cockpit. "Make your way to the nearest spaceport, my ship should be there, along with your credits." he said, sighing of relief. He continued to say "You're not too bad of a smuggler, maybe we could work together again in the future. I have a public comm link if you need to contact me." He said to Herrith, grinning. Making allies wouldn't be too bad of an idea at this point.

They arrived at the spaceport.

 

[Herrith]

The rust bucket floated through the atmosphere, heading to the nearest spaceport as instructed.

"You're not too bad of a smuggler, maybe we could work together again in the future. I have a public comm link if you need to contact me."

Herrith took this as a compliment and replied with her own smile.
"I've got a private comlink. I'll see if I can find you. Good to meet you, sir."

As they arrived, she lowered the loading ramp and turned in her seat.
"Next stop, your ship and my reward. Please."

OOC- Sorry for the late reply! I forgot about this thread cause of life!

 

[Atlas Silexia]

Ano stepped out of the cruiser, and swiftly walked towards his cruiser, the renegade.

"I missed you." He clammered out loud, he had honestly missed the old thing.

He went inside to gather the 2000 credits. Had to take it out of the rainy day fund. What a damn shame, he was gonna pay for repairs with it. He guessed it was worth it.

And made his way back inside the ship and handed Herrith the credits.

"I'll see you around." And made his way off the ship and unto his.

OOC- Its fine haha, I've recently forgot some threads too.

 

[Herrith]

Herrith watched as the man rejoiced at the sight of his ship. Aww. Cute. He went inside and returned with 2000 credits, which the Zeltron gladly took with a smile. As he departed, she spoke in a cheery tone.

"Hey, if you ever need another job done, just let me know. You'll have my profile soon enough, I'm sure."

She winked and stepped away as he boarded his fairly well-maintained ship.
