A few drinks can't hurt anyone.

There she was question as to what brought her to this fine planet. It wasn't as if she planed on being left at this spaceport. No far from it, she wanted to be will on her way to Ukio by now. No she just couldn't watch her mouth to get the better of her temper. How dare the one hired talk to her like she wasn't even human.

No she would do better trying to find another ship to get her and her cargo where they was going. This even sent a smirk to her lips thinking that last one thought he could just keep the cargo for payment. Nope he had another thing coming to him. Show him how this little sweet nerf ranch girl didn't take kindly about trying to steal from.

Now not only where there others that she had ran off her ranch growing up if they even looked at her wrong but now she had to deal with these kind of smart Hutt slime in business. Guess she had better start to change her attitude nope she like it just how it was right now. Now to wait and see who would answer her call out for a ship to take her cargo and her the rest of the way.

Trip shaw sat in the nearly empty cantina with several other men playing pazaak. Trip wasn't some genius player, but he knew a table full of suckers when he saw one. The key wasn't skill, but how to keep terrible players with big pockets at the table.

The half drunk old man who sat across from him looked up at Trip as he flashed a small, knowing grin. Trip had nothing, but he was in the man's head. The old man looked at his cards and then back to Trip and then back at his cards. Then he broke "Alright, I'm done." He threw his cards down in the table. "Come on boys, I'm sure this kidnisncheating somehow." The man said as all four of them stood. He had taken a decent amount of money from each of them. Trip reached out and pulled the credits to his side of table. "Come on, guys." He said as he continued to gather the credits "We were just starting to have fun!" He said sarcastically as the walked away in anger, slamming the door behind them.

Trip sighed as he stood up to go to the bar. He smiled as the middle age bartender walked up to him.

He ordered his usual drink, Tevraki Whiskey, and pulled out his data pad. He still hadn't found his next job. It had been two days since he had delivered his cargo of spring water from Endor. Trip still was confused at why they wanted that in particular, but the wealthy man who bought it paid well. Trip had tasted the water before he dropped it off, I just tasted like water to him.

You know anyone looking to get some cargo transported? " he asked the bartender. "I'm sure you will find someone here" she said pausing "If you don't run them off first."

 

[Seanna Vel]

"Oh hell with it, I need something wet to drink." finding herself paying a good price to watch her cargo. Even so she give him a few choice words if he even had one of those nerf steaks missing. As she clicked her heels and was off towards the first watering hole she could find.

As she stepped into the place, it smell a bit musty, of death sticks and sour malt liquored. Even so she let herself walk in up to the bar. 'Hey there sweet pea, I like your strongest whiskey." as she let her finger nails tap upon the smooth top. Barkeeper asking what brought her in here. Thinking he be getting a story of one dumping her. As she let herself take a hold of the glass.

"Oh you know a lady looking to get her cargo moved from one place to another." as she took a long drink. As she got answer pointing her over towards Trip. Telling her he didn't look have bad like some of his business that came in looking for jobs. Her eyes being blue pool upon him. Studying him before she let herself get up with her glass, and move her way over towards him.

"Excuse me, I hurt you might be looking for a job, sugar." as she let her eyes still wonder over him, not that she wasn't checking him out full. After all a lady like herself couldn't be to careful with the scum running around the galaxy.

After he had sat down and began spending his hard earned Pazaak credits, he saw a woman enter the cantina. She looked human, but the tattoo on her face gave her a bit of an exotic look. She spoke with the bartender for a moment, and then noticed them pointing over in his direction. She didn't look like a bounty hunter, so that was good. Not that Trip knew of any bounties on his head, but one never knew for sure that hadn't pissed off the wrong person. He faced forward, looking at one of the halo screen and the podrace that was currently on as she approached

Trip turned and glanced over at the woman as she began to speak to him. He sat his glass down. "I suppose that would depend on the work." he responded as he motioned for her to sit down. She didn't look like she belonged in this dump. that was for sure.

He wasn't hopeful that this would turn in to anything. If she was asking around here for someone to transport goods she either was transporting something dangerous, or not paying enough, maybe both. "The name is Trip Shaw" he reached out and shook her hand.

He took another sip from his drink before continuing "So what kind of work are you proposing, exactly?" he asked in an inquisitive tone. He had been asked to transport just about anything and everything throughout his career, and doubted if anything could surprise him anymore. He had even smuggled body parts to some sort of hidden research station a few years back.

 

[Seanna Vel]

Looking him over again as he talked again, giving a smirk on her lips. "Its not dead body if that what your worried about." Letting some time pass to see what his reaction would be. This one might be fun to have some fun with. Taking another drink, "Its whiskey that I drink, and yours, sweet pea" even then she couldn't help but be her self he wasn't bad looking. Letting the noise be blocked out. Even so she could help herself to be will her self at this point. Showing nothing of her temper. Not saying that she didn't get what was coming to her to make herself strained to find another ride.

"Fate" , yep that what it was or maybe more. Even so she could be going had she play him long enough to tell him about the cargo, she hadn't even told name but then again he hadn't earn that right yet.
"Its a pleasure to met you Mr. Shaw, as for the cargo just a bunch of frozen meat."

@Raydo

 

[Raydo]

"The same, Tevraki." he replied to her question about what she was drinking. Her previous question caught him a bit off guard. He could have sworn he had just been thinking to same comment about bodies. Maybe it was just made up in his head, no, he was definitely thinking about it just before she mentioned it. Trip began to get an iffy feeling about her. He heard had stories of this war between the Empire and the Jedi. He didn't want to get caught up in whatever mystical holy war they had. He had seen people try to get involved with either group, and they always just ended up dead.

Frozen Meat? You didn't come to a sketchy cantina to find someone to haul frozen meat. He leaned in closer to woman and kept his voice down. "Look miss, I'm not judging you or your cargo, but if your hauling anything other the Frozen meat, I need to know. I can tell you, its not the sort of cargo you normally hear about in bars." he said. She was either lying and trying to get a lower price, or she was broke or had issues with commercial freighters.

He took another sip from his drink and looked around to room. He couldn't help but shake the uneasy feeling he had about this conversation.

 

[Seanna Vel]

Giving out a long sigh before she when on to him. Her reaction would speak for her or more then anything else. "Look baby cake Its nothing more then that, as for why I'm looking in a place like this if you want to know my last plot wanted to screw me you can image I didn't take that very well, he got a few missing teeth, no if that what your worried about you can open up the cargo and have a look yourself all you want with those pretty eyes of yours, until your heart content. As she let herself lend back as she waved to the barkeeper for another glass of the strong whiskey to be brought over. Even so she let her hands slip around the glass to finish off what little was left at the bottom.

Knowing she had given him a ear full and maybe more then she needed to. Still there wasn't nothing more to say to him then will maybe she had been a little to harsh with him. Then again in place like this one had to or one would pick up real fast that you might be weak and easy picking. Which she was either of those things.

Well, fly boy do we have a deal.

@Raydo

 

[Raydo]

He wasn't going to give a lower price just because she had a sad story. Trip wasn't heartless, but empathy never paid the bills. He leaned forward and looked directly at her "Well, I can assure you, I am a profession, but that comes with a cost."

"Do we have a deal? We haven't even talk about money" he thought finish his drink.

He pulled out a data pad. "My stating rate is 20,000 credits. The goes up if you are trying to get something to the other side of the Galaxy or if it is especially dangerous.. If I find out there is...more than frozen meat, the price is tippled. You 10% and the other 90% when we get there. So as soon as you tell me where we are going, we can begin to make the arrangements and leave before the morning is up."

He held out his hand to woman. "So, Miss. Do we have a deal?"

If she would agree he would arrange for the cargo to be loaded on the ship and they would be on their way soon enough.

 

[Seanna Vel]

There it was a slap in her face with another dose of relative or could she get that kind of crazy money together before they left the plot will at less the 10%. Sure she was telling herself in her own mind after all she got something that could be helpful right now to think on the matter. That was before she stop thought to answering him before he got the idea that she couldn't place up front the 10%. If not she might be strained here for a lot long then she would want to be.

Finding herself giving a smile before taking a sip of her whiskey. By gosh you got yourself a deal. Even if it wasn't all that true on the money it would be there waiting for her when she drop of the shipment after all what she had was the fine quality that her family Ranch of Nerf produce and it had been them seeking out there fine meat that had brought her this far no she would see it threw.

Now came to pass as she begin to look around for a poor sucker or even more so. Even so she would know what needed to be do her specialty skill of knowing things that ones might not want be made public would came in hand in this situation if she could it right or even not get her pretty little head shoot off in the process.

 

[Raydo]

Trip looked in the woman's eyes as she said they had a deal, searching for any sign she didn't have the money. After a few seconds, he nodded his head. "Good. Once you're ready to leave, bring your cargo to to landing pad 15." he said finishing off the last off his drink and standing up.

He would leave the woman to get her affairs in order. He made his way back to his ship, The Black Lily. He was met on the landing ramp by his droid which Trip had taken to calling "Bolt". "I found us some work. Get the ship ready to launch, we will be leaving once she gets her cargo loaded up."

He then set about checking the outside of his ship for any visible damage. He knew the ships systems monitored this as well, but it was a habit he had picked up from his father. He could almost hear the words from the familiar speech "If you can't tell there is something wrong with you ship, you shouldn't be flying it." He continued his check until he saw the woman step onto the landing pad.

He met her at the front of the ship. Before they started loading her cargo he asked "So before we go further, where are we going exactly?" while wiping the oil and grease from his hands.
