Just Another Day (Open)

[Emma Lou]

The wind and sand whipped around the hooded figure as she walked down the boarding ramp of The Invincible. She hated sand and heat and Tatooine, but this was the best place to get smuggling jobs. She scowled under her brown cloak, smuggling jobs, she thought with a chuckle. She had not had a real smuggling job in a few months and it was really getting irritating. Jenileigh had been doing narcotic runs, but her contact had had some kind of change of heart.

She walked into one of the Mos Eisley Cantina’s and took a seat in the back. Most of the people in Mos Eisley knew who she was and if anyone had a job for her then they would seek her out.

She sipped her favorite ale. A Tatooine Ale that cost a pretty penny, but was worth every credit.

 

[Santoro]

Caden burst through the front doorway, laughing. Through the door came two broadset men, heavy clubs in their hands. Caden hopped on top of the bar, and drew his vibrorapier, swinging defensively as the two approached.

"Come on you guys, thats the absolute best you can do?" He laughed again, and jumped off, swinging to knock away a club. The thug on the left swung his club, and Caden bent down, spinning to kick the back of his hand, setting him off balance. The club connected, but hit his friend instead. Caden swung up strong, and severed the last one's club. The two went running out of the cantina.

"Yeah, that's right! Tell your boss he's not getting any money!" Caden laughed, and sheathed his weapon, finally looking around to realize that the entire bar was looking at him. He grinned sheepishly, and drew a credit chip, laying it on the bar.

"Uh... Sorry everyone." He jumped off the countertop, and walked quickly towards Jenileigh's table. He sat down awkwardly, and looked at her, smiling.

"So... Did you invite all these people? I thought it would just be you and me."

 

[Cailst]

Hayvan sat around watching the fight going on around him. He was a jawa and was drinking some of the ale before he would return to his home out in the desert. Home was a place he hadn't been to in a while given that he was off in the outside world in dueling championships and various things like that. At home, he had to deal with his parents who had seen him very little since the surgery and only in sporadic instances.

Being a jedi did that to people as he had to do things like make people get along and kill those who wouldn't, but on his home planet, Hayvan didn't quite feel up to the occasion, at least not yet.

 

[Emma Lou]

Jenileigh was not paying attention to the fight, but as soon as the culprit sat down across from her. Her eyes were on the whiter side today as she looked up at him from her datapad. She smiled sweetly and put the datapad away in her pocket.

"If you would be so kind to buy me another drink then maybe I will let you know why I invited everyone"

 

[Santoro]

Caden grinned- he loved girls who would play along. He motioned for the waiter droid, and indicated her drink.

"Another one of those, please... And a Corellian Whiskey for me, or at least something close to it- none of this dishwater you're serving the rest of the patrons." He looked over to the woman across from him.

"Caden Danderfluff, at your service."

 

[Emma Lou]

Jenileigh wanted to laugh at his name, but she decided against it. She took her drink from the droid and smiled at Caden.

"And what is your profession, Caden Danderfluff?"

She did not mind idling the time away chatting with this man. She just knew that talking to him meant some free drinks.

 

[Cailst]

Hayvan began to watch what was going on intently. His ears were pretty good especially when enhanced with the force. He didn't entirely know what was going on but since the man had just been fighting, he figured he should probably arrest him soon.

So as he listened, all he seemed to hear was small talk and useless talk, nothing to produce an arrest out of. Not yet anyways.

 

[Santoro]

"Oh, you know, this and that. A pilot, just got done working for a Republic mining facility."

Caden grinned to himself, finding it extra clever, due to his imprisonment. He shook it out of his head.

"How about you, miss...?"

 

[Emma Lou]

"Soratto...Jenileigh Soratto"

She smiled at him and took another sip of her ale.

"I am a pilot, of sorts. If you ask about my name around these parts then you probably would not be sitting here with me right now"

She finished her second glass and looked around the cantina. There was a particularly odd looking Jawa staring in their direction.

 

[Santoro]

"So.. With that introduction you're what, a holostar?" Caden chuckled, and traced a pattern on the table. Finally, his drink came. He took a sip, and his face soured a little, but he brushed it off.

"Well, I'm new around here. Actually, I'm just coming through- heard about some big run through Duro." Caden followed her gaze casually, and sized the Jawa up. He turned and looked back, as if he had just glanced. He reached down, and unbuttoned his blaster.

"That your 'friend' over there?"

 

[Cailst]

Hayvan then drank a large glass of ale sending it right to his little belly. He was trying to act inconspicuous and normal for a jawa. His ears also were the only things that were pointed at the talking two.

His ears still did not come across anything blatantly illegal and he continued to wait for something a little more than somewhat suspicious.

 

[Emma Lou]

Jeni narrowed her eyes at the Jawa. She was smarter then she looked and she knew when someone was listening in.

"No and I am not a holostar. I am just someone who does their job and is known about these parts"

 

[Santoro]

"Ah. Wouldn't happen to be pals with Durja the Hutt, would you?" Caden took a slightly suspicious stance, pulling the blaster out of the holster just another couple of centimeters.

"Not too friendly with him."

 

[Emma Lou]

Jenileigh gave him a smug smile.

"I am friends with the highest payer"

She knew he had pulled out his blaster.

"No need for that"

 

[Niner]

Folnov Ac'kzec walked in through the door in the cantina. He was wearing all of his combat gear, helmet, camo fatigues, durasteel platining, large assault rifle, and his combat knives. He had taken his Republic military patches off of his uniform for this, he wasn't here on buisness for them.

Looking through the single eyepiece on his helmet he scanned the crowd for threats and immediatley saw a young man pulling a weapon out of his holster. Folnov knew it had something to do with the woman he was talking to. He thought about doing something drastic, but decided to be low key and only draw his pistol, insteading of his large rifle. Tracking what the man did, he walked over to an empty table with a clear view of the man and put his hand holding the pistol under the table, pointed at the man.

He might not be in Republic uniform, but he was still a soldier, and soldiers protected people. Motioning to the serving droid he ordered a large Bavrkirian whiskey, his favorite drink and turned up the aural implants on his helmet to listen to the conversations around him, he had a job to do here afterall.

 

[Santoro]

"For what?" Caden gave her a skeptical look, and pushed his blaster back into his holster, bringing his hand up to show it was empty. He placed it on the table, along with his other, a typical smuggler sign to show he wasn't touching his weapons. He smiled, and gave a look to the newcomer.

Yeah, I see you. He looked back.

"So. Why would a pretty girl like you be a 'pilot' in the back end of the galaxy? I'm sure theres much nicer cargo near the core. More security, maybe, but that shouldn't matter... Right?" He grinned. He was probing her.

 

[Emma Lou]

Jenileigh took another sip of her drink and looked over to the door then back Caden.

"I don't need security and I like it here. There aren't as many rules in the back end of the Galaxy"

 

[Cailst]

Things were getting more suspicious with the lack of rules being a good thing according to them. Also, with the few glances he got at them, he saw a blaster pistol briefly out of it's holster. However, it did return.

Continuing to look about the room, he saw a republic soldier that was trying to seem normal. Apparently, Hayvan did need to do his job better given that a republic soldier was trying to do it for him. So he really got listening very, very, closely to make sure that he could beat the soldier to the arrest.

 

[Santoro]

"Sure there are. Just easier to break when nobody's looking." Caden sat back, looking at Jenileigh.

"So, do you have a ship? I've got one. A cargo ship, actually. Fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy."

Only if you literally count garbage.

 

[Emma Lou]

Jeni nodded and finished her drink. She could feel the tension in the room starting to grow and that meant that she was drawing a little to much attention to herself. She did not need to get arrested and brought up on smuggling charges when she had not smuggled in some time.

"The Invincible. It could beat your garbage any day"
