Hello journal,
It is a day today. With pen to paper I write to you on this day to tell you that I will soon meet once more with my new partner as we partner up to take on the latest di’kut on a long, long list of di’kuts this side of Crap Galaxy. This other gal is about ten years younger than me, reminds me of me as much as my sister far, far away, and taking her under my wing and aboard my Winged Pike might do her some good as she finds her footing in a crazy world bloated with worlds.I also got the idea of beginning a kind of guide on the do’s and don’t’s of bounty hunting. I figured what the heck since I can just record what I relay to my vod as I show her how I do things. Who knows, maybe I’ll get this published, make a fortune, settle down on some world frozen in time as much as in an endless blizzard… Rawl won’t like it but that droid can’t even find the door while bumping into it so who cares?
So, Tip #1? Rule #1? Where to begin? Order will come later. Chaos of thoughts shall ensue. So it may not be the first pointer but the first pointer is to know your bounty as much as you would know your enemy. You might be one mean cookie in a Mandalorian helmet but your target might be one too—even if they traded armor for poncho and sip cappuccino in the sunlight.
Estaria, Estaria system, Outer Rim Territories
The seat was comfy, the sun was out, the wind came with it and the sea lapped against the rock of columns beneath a bridge high above. Estaria. She tasted that name as though it was the cinnamon sprinkled on the foamy cream atop her cappuccino. A star in the air.
In one of several major cities of the planet’s ecumenopolis, the Valtilda Mall was nearly a city all on its own. Like one it had the more affordable areas and the ones catering to the rich. Clerks casting gracious smiles while waving the less prosperous away.
The shopping center was so vast that an entire section was all in open air where anyone could mingle no matter their money. Great trees with golden boughs dotted green grass checkered with white pavement. Cas sat at an outside table wasting her thoughts on all these things while she waited on a friend.
The cantina was on the other side of the street but she didn’t pay it much mind, just watching the people in between, having elected to extend her visitation to a cafe for once in a blue moon. Of course, Estaria’s moon isn’t blue. Not from the surface anyway. Or is it?
Zaia should be arriving any minute to help make sense of things. She would not see some Mandalorian in full armor sipping cappuccino with a pinky extended. Cas had come tailored in black boots, green pants and a red poncho with the gold sun of her clan serving as a brooch.
She was under cover, that being the umbrella erected from the table to shade from the sun, but just as much had a mind to appear casual while gathering intel on her next hunt. Her partner would soon learn of it.
